“She told you everything she remembers. If that’s all…” I tightened my hold on her hand and she squeezed back. “...you can go now,” I told the police officers.

“But we…” the male officer interjected.

“Thank you, Ms. Blake. Mr. Cane.” The stern-looking woman beside him threw him a look and he immediately backed away.

“He’s in custody,” she added. “He’ll be undergoing psychological evaluation soon.”

Olivia winced once again. At the slightest mention of him, a pinprick of something ugly blossomed in my gut at her visceral reaction.

I just want her to be free of everything he has done to her but I cannot deny the fact that’s a tall order. Especially when she can’t even talk about what happened.

All the police have against him is from my account and the indisputable evidence against his crimes. They have yet to get the full story from her.

I don’t even know what really happened. It fills me with dread not knowing. But god, does it terrify me to ask, to prod and poke at

  • Craving Mr. Cane   The Cavalry

    It was the clicking of heels. Then the swaying of her hair. And that perfume. My head swiveled as soon as Attorney Hailey Sinclair entered the corridor. There’s no other word for it. She strutted. I couldn’t believe it, she’s the all-business no fun type but right here and right now? The girl is in a good mood. Dare I say, she seems… upbeat?Totally uncalled for and not what we need as of the moment but it surely did cut the tension that’s choking both Austin and I lately. “The cavalry has arrived,” she announced. She aimed her attention at me and smirked. “Okaaay? Does he know you’re arriving? Any appointments?” I asked. She smiled. “We haven’t met properly yet, right?”“Um, yeah. Sorry, I was kinda loopy the last time.” I almost tilted my head in shame. Remembering the time I was so out of it. “I was face planting the floor.” I whispered, nonetheless. “I noticed,” she nodded. I wanted the floor to swallow me whole. “Hey, hey… no worries, okay? We all have our bad days. I mean,

  • Craving Mr. Cane   The Walls Are Caving In

    “What do you mean, we can’t go in? Motherfuc-” Austin growled at the guard. “Sorry, sorry! It’s policy, sir. We can’t have visitors during emergencies. We’re fixing the issue. I mean, there isn’t really one, it’s just…” the guard sighed as Austin continued throwing daggers with his eyes. “What aren’t you saying? You’re hiding something.” Austin snarled one more time. “It’s just policy, Mister. I can’t disclose what’s happening inside. But I can’t let you enter either.”“That’s entirely ridiculous! You can’t just do that, okay? What the fuck is really going on? Tell me now,” he demanded. Before things could get any more heated, I intervened. “Hey, could you just give us a moment, please? And can you just step back a little? No need to brandish your gun like that. We just wanted to visit someone.”“Yes, ma’am. Sorry, it’s just a little tense out here.” “No worries.” He stepped away. Austin and I were left alone outside the prison’s entrance. Staring at the gate and wondering how he

  • Craving Mr. Cane   Control

    It wasn’t until an hour before visiting his mother that I saw the cracks to his carefully crafted exterior. He was perfectly dressed, as usual. Maybe even more, his suit is his armor after all. The three piece he was donning was not helping me keep my cool, though. Sometimes, I still get these reminders that I’m dating the most attractive man I’ve ever met. It was after work and he sighed a heavy sigh when we stepped off the elevator to the parking lot. His mind was faraway, I could just tell. He was troubled, calculating his next moves and more than apprehensive. The tension on his shoulders never left today. I could just feel the waves of nerves exuding from him. “Hey, do we have time for a little break?” I asked. “Yeah, I wanted to get a grip first. Want to eat?” “I mean, yeah. But, can we park somewhere? Just order some take out.” “Sure,” he murmured. Mind slipping somewhere off as we drove away. It wasn’t hard to find an overlooking spot at this point. We ate silently. I de

    “I’m the one taking Cane Industries from you…” “Oh my god, Austin. Oh my god. That was Sebastian Cane. It really was, oh my god. That was your brother. I mean, I could see the similarities. He’s actually quite tall. You guys got good genes, huh?” I yapped because he was still stunned. We both were. I watched as his brother left, nonchalantly and without any care that he’d just shaken Austin’s world. Austin was a deer caught in the headlights. He was shocked. I can see him processing everything little by little. “How? I mean, why? What?” he stammered. “Did that just really happen right now?” “Yes, it really did. Are you okay, love?” I inquired. His face was ashen. He’s not moving, he’s just there. His eyes were wide open. I saw his trembling hands clench into a fist, and just like that, he snapped into war mode. “This was deliberate. He’s a shark,” he said. “He’s planned this. Everything.” “Oh my god,” I repeated in disbelief. “Looks like it. He just came in here and did his thi

  • Craving Mr. Cane   Guess Who's Back

    AustinThere’s a certain change I can feel in the air. Maybe it’s the fact that Olivia and I finally reconciled, or maybe it’s just that I ultimately let my frustrations go… but I feel different. I feel lighter. Even if everything is going to shit around me. I just feel more… at ease. There’s just something in the air. “I got you your favorite burrito,” Olivia gave me that small smile I love before depositing the paper bag beside me and leaving. She’s back to work, still adjusting to the daily grind but everything’s back to normal. It’s a given that we’re still handling the aftermath of the psychiatrist and everything that came along with that but I can say that we’re good to go. Something just clicked the last time I just let out all my feelings. It was more than domination, it was release. Cathartic. Ever since then, we’ve been mending things between us. All the talks. All the action between the sheets. It’s all helping get us to baseline again. Of course, we’re having low mome

  • Craving Mr. Cane   Back From Hell

    ParkerI smiled. The receptionist gave me some tea. She’s sweet, the tea as well. But nothing is sweeter than my Olivia. I reclined on the chair I was asked to sit on. The woman I didn’t care to ask the name of added a few biscuits to my tea. How sweet. Maybe I’d… No. No matter how I want other women, it will always be my Olivia who I need. No other pretty girl’s smile would entice me. Even if she was curvy in all the right ways. My mind goes back to seeing my Olivia like this. Behind a huge desk in her little corner. My mind shuffled through all the footage I got of her. The moments as I watched her on her desk. I wanted to bend her over that desk so badly. Hmm… maybe there’s still time. I’m itching to watch her again. If only there was a way… maybe I could persuade the man who let me out. Maybe if I could just convince him…The receptionist’s gaze lingered on me as I waited for the man who made all this possible. She looked at me curiously, almost like I was a puzzle she wanted
