SUNESIS’S POV

All through the night, I was beaming with smiles and whistling tunes to myself.

This was more than just an answered prayer. This was the dream.

It didn’t matter what position Jay had been able to secure for me, as long as I got to work at Bluevale, where even their lowest-paid staff earned more than what I made dancing on poles on a good week.

I let out a deep breath and clasped my hands together.

“Please, let it all work out,” I muttered under my breath, and my grandmother stirre

  • Claim Me Behind The Mask   Chapter 42

    SUNESIS’S POVThe light from the screen before him reflected into his eyes, making them shine a little brighter than they were supposed to.His grey eyes seemed like they were pulling me in, even though he was focused on his work. I gulped hard as I went over his facial features for the one hundred and first time.His chiseled jaw, high cheekbones carved like stone, and the thin scar nicking his left brow. How I had managed to miss that tiny detail this entire time was beyond me.Suddenly, all the tattoos and scars on his body made sense now.I mean, it was very much expected from a Mafia Don, especially one of his rank.It was on the tip of my tongue to ask him the stories behind each scar, but I held it back. I’d rather not get ahead of myself.But my favorite part had to be his lips. Thin, hard, pale against his sharp jaw, always pressed into a line.I gulped hard, a part of me wanting to taste the feel of his lips against mine again.“I would have thought you’d be done gaping by n

  • Claim Me Behind The Mask   Chapter 41

    SUNESIS’S POVHis lips captured mine, and my entire body went numb. I didn’t move or respond. I just stood there, rigid with shock.He placed his hand on my ass, squeezed gently, and bit down on my lips. I let out a gasp, and he used the opportunity to slide his tongue in.I slowly gave in, matching his roughness and intensity. I could see the hunger and lust burning in his eyes. He tasted like caramel, with a hint of mint.I sucked on his lower lip, and he pulled me closer until there was no breathing space between us. I melted into his arms, arching my hips forward. The taste of him was so intoxicating. I needed more.I should have been mad. I should have been yelling and asking why he lied to me. I should have been broken, hurt even. I admit I was a bit hurt. Most of all, I should have been trembling with fear.But here I was, sucking on the lips of the most feared man alive.Jaxon Vale.And only a few minutes after finding out he’d been lying to me the entire time.He wrapped his

    SUNESIS’S POVHe leaned back into his chair and swirled back and forth, the corner of his lips tugged into an amused smile.He stared at me like I was some kind of entertainment, and every second he stayed without speaking felt like he was testing my limits.I needed answers, and I wasn’t leaving here without getting them.I straightened my back, my arms still folded across my chest, and my expression never shifted, not once.Knowing Jay, he was going to find a cunning way around this so he didn’t have to answer my questions, but I was determined not to let him get away with it this time.“Jay…” I called, my tone edged with impatience.He adjusted himself in his chair, still staring at me, the amused smile on his face slowly widening.This was definitely deliberate. I had a feeling he knew what he was doing.Or maybe he was just trying to let me know that he wasn’t going to give me answers simply because I demanded them.Or it was just another of his crazy mind games.“Well… what do y

  • Claim Me Behind The Mask   Chapter 39

    Sunesis’s POVI stood outside the boardroom, occasionally glancing at the glass door.I could see Jay’s lips moving, and the cold expression on his face had not left him even once, but sadly, I couldn’t hear what they were saying.I shifted my weight from one foot to another as my knees felt weak, and my legs were almost giving out.What was I still doing here?I should have left the moment he ordered me to.I should have gone back to the motel, but somehow, my curiosity didn’t let me move my legs.I had too many questions, and I feared that if I missed my chance to ask them today, then I would miss it for life.I paced about the hallway slowly, trying to wake my legs that had fallen asleep.My stomach rumbled. I placed my hand on it and suddenly remembered that I hadn’t eaten anything since morning. I let out a sigh and shut my eyes. When I opened them again, the people in the boardroom, excluding Jay, were all standing.I guessed they were done. I glanced at my watch. The meeting ha

She sounded much better now after taking the pills.“And that’s because I am, Grandmother.”“Care to share, child?”“I…” I paused. It hit me that I actually hadn’t told my grandmother that I’d lost my job at Blake’s.“I got a better job offer somewhere else,” I responded slowly.She immediately tried to sit up, but a sharp pain hit her, and it reflected on her face.“Don’t bother, Grandmother.” I helped her rest back on the bed.“Tell me

  • Claim Me Behind The Mask   Chapter 37

    SUNESIS’S POVI ran straight out of the bar without looking back and only paused to catch my breath at the entrance of the motel.The last thing I needed right now was to be the center of attention anywhere. My life was hard enough without eyes following me everywhere I went.Blake alone was a force clearly sabotaging my efforts. I didn’t want to add more to the list.I took a long, deep breath to steady myself, then walked into the motel, feigning a light smile.I gave the receptionist a single nod and noticed her eyeing me suspiciously. Without giving her time to analyze anything, I walked away, but her eyes followed me until I was out of her view.I couldn’t blame her, though. I was drenched, dripping water with every step I took.I let out a sigh as I pushed the door to the room open and stepped into the bathroom almost immediately, as quietly as I could. I didn’t want to disturb my grandmother, who was still very much sound asleep.I stepped out of the bathroom a few minutes late
