Elodie's POV

A light click from his fork on the plate caused me to jolt out of the trance. I quickly lowered my head to my plate, heart beating fast in its cage.

What was that? How was he able to do that? Why wasn't I able to move when his gaze locked with mine? The chill I had felt was unsettling.

I exhaled and sat straight, cutting the juicy chicken with my knife. As soon as it touched my tongue, my taste buds came alive and my mind almost exploded.

What was this deliciousness I was tasting?

  • Craving His Captive: The Cartel Heir's Obsession (Book 1)   Chapter 59: Dark Blue Mark

    Valiente's POVMy head was pounding, severely. I peeled my eyes open slowly, immediately regretting it.The room spun for a few seconds before settling. I groaned and pressed a hand against my forehead, fingers digging into my temple like I could crush the pain out through bone.Fuck.My mouth and throat were dry, my body felt heavy, and my head throbbed with every heartbeat. I couldn't remember the last time I'd drunk that much.Pieces of last night started coming back, and my eyes closed again.Little Red.I remembered walking into her room. She stood there in that thin, silky nightgown that showed the prints of her nipples and her pale neck.The look in those green eyes of hers when she saw me was... something I couldn't describe.My jaw ticked at the memory. Even hungover and wrecked, the image of her sharpened faster than anything else in my skull.And then I remembered kissing her.My jaw tightened. I had no idea what had come over me. One second, I was standing there, and the n

  • Craving His Captive: The Cartel Heir's Obsession (Book 1)   Chapter 58: Barn

    Elodie’s POVThe next morning came before I was ready for it.I had been awake long before the sun came up, sitting by the window and staring through the glass like a lonely damsel trapped in a tower, waiting for a prince to come save her.A small scoff left me.As if anyone were coming to save me.The figures moving around the estate began to blur as my mind drifted back to last night.My eyes fluttered shut.I remembered the warmth of Valiente’s lips against mine. The way he had pulled me closer. The low sound of his voice against my skin. The way my fingers had tangled in his hair before I even realized what I was doing.My cheeks warmed. Stop.I opened my eyes and stared outside again.He was trouble, and I knew it. He should have been the last person I fantasized about. Yet somehow, he had found his way into my thoughts anyway.A soft knock came at the door.I sighed and slowly turned away from the window. “Come in.”The door opened, and Marisela stepped inside. She wore a soft s

  • Craving His Captive: The Cartel Heir's Obsession (Book 1)   Chapter 57: Never Again

    Elodie's POV Maybe I was letting Bianca’s words cloud my judgment. Maybe I really wanted to experience it for myself.Lady’s man? How good was he to make women want him so badly? Was he better than Colin?Or maybe it was the strong scent of alcohol surrounding him, making it harder for me to think clearly.Either way, I let his hand slide from my lower back until it caught my butt. His lips left mine, trailing slowly down my neck and sending fresh waves of anticipation through me.A low groan escaped him.My eyes widened.What the hell was I doing? Why was I letting him touch me? Why wasn’t I pushing him away?His lips brushed my collar, his body holding mine tightly, but suddenly Bianca’s words didn’t sound nearly as tempting anymore.Because this was Valiente.The man who had taken me from Hawaii. The man who had terrified me at the hunt. The man I’d spent days wishing I could escape from.This wasn’t some fantasy. He was my captor and a manipulator.I pushed against his chest, har

  • Craving His Captive: The Cartel Heir's Obsession (Book 1)   Chapter 56: Test The Theory

    Elodie's POV My body moved restlessly on the bed, twisting without settling as my mind wandered to thoughts I shouldn’t be thinking about.I held the sheets closer to my chest, my fingers digging into the edge as I struggled to find sleep.I’d come back to the guest room over an hour ago, but Bianca’s words never seemed to fade.Every time I closed my eyes, I imagined Valiente’s hot body against my bare skin. I imagined him whispering dirty words into my ear. I imagined him doing things to me that he’d done to other girls.My left hand snaked beneath the sheets, trailing slowly over my body until it reached underneath my silk nightgown.My eyes were shut, my lips pressed together.'He’s the kind of man women dream about when they’re alone in their beds…'Bianca’s words rushed into my mind again, hitting me roughly like a wave.My fingers pressed against my clit through my underwear. Slowly, I circled it. A sharp gasp slipped through my lips. My toes curled, and my knees bent.I didn’

  • Craving His Captive: The Cartel Heir's Obsession (Book 1)   Chapter 55: Ridiculously Gorgeous

    Elodie's POV The air in the dining room stilled.Both father and son stared at each other coldly, like a fight could break out between them at any moment.I stayed silent, the food in my mouth suddenly too difficult to chew.“You’re demented, Rodrigo,” Valiente spoke first, a small scoff slipping from his lips.I glanced at him, not missing the faint look of pain in his eyes.His father’s jaw clenched. His fist tightened against the table. “Watch it, boy,” he bit out. “I’m still your father.”That made Valiente laugh.Not a hearty laugh.A cold, dry laugh that didn’t reach his eyes.He shook his head. “You call yourself my father?” he asked, his chest rising and falling calmly. “You stopped being my father the very day my mother died—”“ENOUGH!” His father’s voice thundered across the table. His fist slammed against the table, making everyone flinch. The food in my mouth almost caused me to choke.I quickly swallowed and looked at him.The veins on his forehead bulged, his face red

  • Craving His Captive: The Cartel Heir's Obsession (Book 1)   Chapter 54: Valiente's Bride

    Elodie's POV My heart stayed in my throat as I walked behind Valiente, quietly following him to the dining room.After he’d left me in that room, I’d tried getting some shut-eye as I was slowly being consumed by jet lag, but sleep seemed very far from me.I just sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for when I’d be called for dinner.We reached the dining room, and my jaw almost touched the clean, marbled floor.Here I was thinking Valiente had the most insane dining table. This… this was on another level.Valiente’s dining room was already huge, with an expensive table that could easily seat twenty people. But this one made his look almost ordinary.The table stretched across the center of the room, long enough to seat more than thirty people. Maybe even more.It was made of dark, polished wood, with high-backed chairs lined up neatly on both sides.A massive chandelier hung above it, lighting up the entire room. Even the plates, glasses, and silverware looked expensive.I slowly look

    Elodie's POVThey say one’s instinct is never wrong, and I should have listened to mine. That gut feeling that twisted my stomach the moment Colin showed me those tickets for this trip, that terrible nightmare I had that night—it was right. I was right to feel that way.The first thing I felt was t

    Elodie’s POV: What could be the harshest form of heartbreak?Death? Not really.A cheating partner? I don’t think so either.Probably when your boyfriend—the one you’ve dated for two and a half years. The one who you would love to spend the rest of your life with. The one who prepared a trip to Ha

  • Craving His Captive: The Cartel Heir's Obsession (Book 1)   Chapter 5: A Handsome Devil

    Elodie's POV I felt a sharp sting on my skin, followed by a low buzz from the tattoo gun. The needle pierced through the flesh of my lower abdomen, digging deep. Finally reacting, I twisted on the bed. Wrong move. Because she pressed my thighs apart, hard, and a sob tore out of me. I shouldn't l

    Elodie's POVI started gently, rubbing my palms over my face, stomach, and hips. I shouldn't be here. I should have never agreed to this trip.I increased the pace, scrubbing my skin, my nails leaving red lines on my body. But that didn't stop me, I went crazy. I started screaming, working faster,
