The rain picked up almost as soon as Petra left the office causing my heart race to spike. The need to get to her and make sure she was safe was riding me hard.
I wanted nothing more than to keep her safe all the time. There was no reason to think she was in danger, but I still didn’t like the hurt I saw in her eyes when she left the office.
I hurt her. I am no good for her. I always hurt her.
I glanced down at my watch, impatiently tapping a pen on the posh boardroom table, almost restless as I waited for July to conclude the emergency meeting she’d called.
One…two…three… I counted in my head, trying to maintain some level of patience while I navigated the world’s most annoying presentation.
This meeting was not necessary, it was just one of her usual ways of trying to show the managers that she was the boss of them all.
Selfish, unreasonable, egocentric, self-absorbed proud little bitch, these were perfect words to describe July.
Watching how she took control of managing the main manufacturing business made me sick to my bones.
She looked utterly comfortable and in command of everyone’s attention as she went through a PowerPoint presentation, proudly showing yearly projections of our profit margins.
I made that a success, but as usual, she like to take the credit.
I paid less attention to her babbles as image of Petra formed in my mind, her captivating eyes, her raven curls, her smooth skin, I could see the goddess so clearly.
My phone vibrated in my pocket. Glad for a distraction, I took it out and held it under the table. There was a text message notification from Freddie, my friend and Special adviser.
I glanced toward the opposite side of the table where he sat. He gestured at me to look at my phone.
Making sure July’s attention was still on her unbearable presentation, I glanced down at my phone.
Freddie sent me a meme that he’d cleverly created by swapping July's head with that of an evil looking Maleficent. I swallowed a snigger. Glancing at him, I shook my head and grinned.
“Do you mind?” July's frigid tone broke me out of my thoughts.
Looking up, I found her staring daggers at me. Her controlling behavior enraged me like nothing else… Her authoritativeness and obsession to control came from a place of power.
Her father Mr. Coopingar controlled half of Las Vegas.
I made a deal with the devil. He was the Demon king of Las Vegas and the leader of Barrio 12 Gang. A drug Lord.
Six years ago, I'd lost control of my finances and Ambre was on the verge of collapse. I was introduced to Mr. Coopingar to buy some of the shares. My worst decision ever. Those shares were given to the unruly lady in front of me as a gift… And ever since, she’s made my life a living hell.
She was her father’s priceless jewel and no one dared to touch a single hair on her head. She got away with everything.
The presentation rolled on for a few more minute and as she began rounding up, I picked my files and hurried out of the building.
I stepped out of the elevator and met my driver already waiting by the car. “Keys, Ben.” I commanded.
He looked shocked. “Sir, are you sure?”
I gave him a cold look and he quickly dug in his pocket and tossed me keys.
It’s been a while since I’ve driven, but I had to find Petra on my own. Most of my workers are loyal to Mr. Coopinger and I don't trust them around me.
I hopped in the black Land Rover. Taking a deep, refreshing breath, I turned the car on and adjusted the seat to fit my frame.
Five minutes later, I was on the street hoping to find her. With the heavy rain it’d be harder for her to get a ride home.
She’d been gone for almost half an hour. Was she safe?
After driving for a few more minute, through the rain-streaked windshield, I saw a blur figure of a woman, walking by the sidewalk with arms circled around herself.
The closer I got, I recognized her as Petra. She was shivering. I slowed down next to her, but she didn’t look up at all. She was as slow as a snail. No wonder she hadn’t gotten far.
I rolled down the passenger side window and called out to her. “Petra!” I shouted over the down-pouring rain.
She turned her head to look at me and our eyes collided. Her eyes were blank. No single emotion in there. I couldn’t figure her out.
She was freezing. What was she thinking, walking home alone, in the dark, in the rain, in Las Vegas. I was so mad that she didn’t see the danger she was putting herself in.
“Get in,” I growled.
Her plump pink lips twitched up on one side, revealing her feisty personality. She was soaked and I was mesmerized by the way her clothes clung on her like a second skin.
The water was hitting her long curls and sliding down the dark strands to pool on her shoulders.
My first instinct was to rip her clothes off of her and lick every inch of her wet body.
Petra ignored me and increased her pace, wanting to get away From me. A defiant edge blazing through her eyes.
I want to fuck her into submission. I want to spank and redden her sweet ass for being so stubborn and so badly behaved.
I pulled over and quickly stepped into the rain.
With one long stride, I caught up with her and grabbed her wrist. “fucking stop, would you?”
“Don’t you dare touch me. Let me fucking go.” She yanked my hand off. I have never seen her so crazed. She was hurt, I could feel it.
She was in pain, and it was all my fault.
I wanted to kiss her, to hold her in my arms, to look her in the eye and assure her that I wasn’t fucking around… But I couldn’t.
Keeping her far away from me, It was for her own good. I was damaged beyond repair. One step closer to her could ruin us both.
“Try to calm the hell down, Petra.” I said, reaching to grab her again, but this time she lifted her hand and swung at me. “You better not…” I caught her wrist and spun her around, so she was backing me. I circled my arms around her waist, pinning her in place.
She wiggled her waist, kicking her legs up to get away from my hold, her full, round ass grinding against my cock, making it rock fucking hard.
I definitely wanted to rip off her dress, bend her over and sink my ten inches into her wet heat. She was sexy, so irresistibly sexy.
She began to fall apart. Her chest rose and fell. With the rain continuing to pour down on us, I tried to calm her raging nerves.
“Deep breath, baby girl.” I whispered into her ear. “Deep breath.”
She inhaled deep and slow. The way she obeyed my command, and surrendered to me, even if it was just for a moment, it made me feel so damn good. She exhaled, and calmly, she melted into my hold and broke into a low sob.
“Let me go.” She said, sniffling. "Please... Let me go."
A soft, low growl left my throat “I won’t… I’m never letting go… not now, not ever.”
Mr. Coopingar was a short, stout man with a round face. While he didn’t exactly look friendly, he did have that certain charming air about him. Which was important considering that’s how he snagged all the best contracts in the city. His dark hair was starting to recede, balding a bit at the back. He kept his face clean, not a whisker in sight. His large, dark eyes were hooded. Like most Mexicans, he had that nice nose that somehow didn’t look out of place or too big.I straightened as two men followed him into the study. They were new and definitely looked Italian as shit. Their olive skin was even darker than most Italians I know, and they had a distinctly southern Italian look to them. I guessed these were the new inductees from the Eastern branch. I recognized a few of the other men trailing in. They were all board members or union heads to the legal companies scattered across the state used to cover the real thing – drug and illegal fire arms. Most in the electrical or constru
PetraI was surprised when Jaxon texted me to ask that I come over to his house. I mean, he told me we'd hang, but I didn’t think he was serious, and also why his house? It could be anywhere else but his house. In the Uber on the way to his house, I pondered on the phone call Dalton received, what induction were they talking about, and what bad news got him so furious?Then it struck me. The way I’d reacted when I saw the Raven sketch on the paper, Jaxon was suspicious of me. He thought I knew something and was keeping it, and now he wants to extract information from me. At that point, i should ask the driver to turn the car around and take me home, but my curiosity was overpowering. I wanted to know more. The information I couldn’t get from Dalton, maybe I’d get from Jaxon. The car pulled to a stop in front of a relatively modest house. The only ostentatious thing about it was the wrought iron gate blocking off the driveway, but that was ubiquitous in this neighborhood. “Do you w
Dalton I wanted to convince myself that Petra wasn’t here and I’d not just milked her pussy and given her multiple orgasms, and I have nothing to worry about, but then I could still taste her in my mouth. Fuck. She tasted so delicious. I’d eat her all day for the rest of my fucking life. I thought she was beautiful in her everyday leggings, skirts, jeans and loose fitting tops. But now? She was yet again in my shirt and I’ve never seen a more beautiful sight. She was picture perfect. Her heart-stopping figure was sitting pretty in my kitchen going over her work while I fixed us a cup of coffee. The way her sweet mouth moved as she went on and on her promotion strategy, I wanted to charge up to her and kiss the hell out of her mouth. I wished to toss her over my shoulder, take her to my bedroom, spread her legs wide open, and finally, fucking finally, sink my angry, throbbing, rock-hard cock inside her and fuck her up in every dirty way possible. But instead of ripping into her
Petra How he was going to react to me bothered me, but I knew I had to see him to clear things up. I had worked on my first ad campaign for the company’s new machine, it was my first project and I was going to use the opportunity of wanting him to review it to my own advantage. As I stepped into the elevator of the penthouse, I had to try and carefully formulate a lie that’d best favor me. I need to be the victim at all cost and bitchy Annie, the villain. The elevator door dinged open and I stepped into the apartment, using his security code, I got in without having to alert him first. I was able to master the code the last time. The apartment looked dry like nobody was home, but it’s weekend and I know Dalton never worked weekends unless there was a deadline. After waiting a few minutes looking at a fashion magazine on the table, I heard a sound come from the bedroom. I opened the door of the bedroom, careful not to make any noise, but I saw nothing. No one was in the
DaltonWhat the fuck was wrong with her?She’d lost control with her friend, yanking her hair like a vicious animal.I didn’t even want to go to the damn restaurant. I had other plans with coopingar, but I’d promised Freddie that I was going to be there for his birthday, and I wasn’t one to go back on my word. It was just a few friends gathering over a bottle of champagne, which I could handle. He kept it on a low because he knew I hated crowd. Maybe if I had ditched, I wouldn’t have to witness all that fucking drama she pulled.But deep down, the dark, and sick perverted side of me liked it. So, instead of feeling enraged by such public display of madness, I was rather turned on by it. Not that I liked that she hurt someone, but I liked the fire dancing in her eyes when her eyes caught mine. I liked her wildness and I wanted nothing more than to tame her. To fuck her into submission for being so badly behaved. I growled and ripped off my clothes, stepping into a cool shower. It
Petra “Oh my gosh, I can’t stand him anymore! He’s such an asshole,” I said to Isabella after I was done explaining to her what transpired between Noah and I. I glanced at the clock, noting that Annie should have been here for our lunch ten minutes ago. But Annie being Annie, I don’t expect her here for at least another five to ten minutes . It’s who she was. The three of us were bestfriends since Grade one. Except Annie and I didn’t get along so well. She was more of a competition. “So you guys are totally off now?” Annie asked from behind me. How long was she there and how much of our conversations did she hear? I turned my head to her, giving my brilliant smile and she returned it with her softer, but no less genuine one. “Yeah... I guess so.” I responded “I’m going to miss his sisters. Those two… they are so adorable.” “I wonder how you managed to tolerate his toxicity this long.” Isabella added. She pulled out a chair and sat down. “You also are to blame for his actions
