تسجيل الدخولElizabeth’s POV
Slapping my head mentally, I regain my senses and start to follow Moana into the room. It’s so huge and gorgeous.I have to admit, this man is indeed damn rich, because why not?“If you need anything else, please let us know.” Moana smiles politely at me.I tear my gaze away from the queen size bed that’s right in the middle of the room and look at her.“Nothi—” I’m about to reply when I hear my stomach growl loudly.My face flush with embarrassment and I bite on the corner of my bottom lip.I don’t blame my poor stomach, I haven’t had any proper meal since morning.“What would you like to eat?” Moana asks, smiling politely.She heard my stomach growl. Even the deaf would have heard it.I return her smile with an awkward one, slightly gritting my teeth in embarrassment. “Anything will do.”She nods her head knowingly. “We’ll be right back.”I smile thankfully as I watch her and the two other maids walk out.After the last one closes the door behind them, I heave a sigh of relief.Finally, I have some privacy for myself. But first, I need a hot bath. My body aches all over, and I feel so dirty and sticky from being locked inside that damn trunk.I walk over to the door and lock it. Scanning my eyes around in search of a towel, my gaze lands on a large mirror a few feet behind the bed.Furrowing my brows, I shuffle my feet closer to it.This is so big.I place my hand on the mirror and retract it immediately, flinching as I notice something unusual. The mirror is actually moving in slightly.Huh? Curiously, I raise my hand and push it further, peeping in to see what’s behind it.My jaw almost touches the ground at once. It’s a walk-in closet. A very big one. I take my steps carefully and begin to walk in, taking in every bit of detail.There are dresses, wristwatches, designer bags, shoes, underwear—Fendi, Gucci, Louis Vutton, Dolce and Gabbana, Versace—name it!There’s absolutely nothing missing here. There’s nothing a girl can possibly want that isn’t in here. This man is a chronic pervert! So, I’m not the first person he’ll be kidnapping—‘cause what’s with the female clothes?!!Does he do this often?!Now, I’m confused. Who exactly is this man? What does he want with me?I catch sight of the bathrobe and I’m reminded I need to take my bath.I take a robe off the hanger and head to the bathroom. Even the bathroom is no exception from beauty—it looks marvelous, classy, and beautiful. The bath is sparkling. It looks so tempting, I can’t wait to soak myself in it. I can sleep here all dayyyy.I let the water run while I strip my clothes off. Gently, I sink in, relaxing my sore hard muscles. I remain this way for a couple of minutes before I begin to scrub my body clean.After having a satisfying thorough bath, I dry up my body, slip out of the bathroom, and walk back into the closet.Thankfully, there are big tees and pants also. I pick up a black tee and a wine pair of pants and put them on before walking out of the closet.Soon, I hear a soft knock on the door.Right on time.Beaming with a smile, I unlock the door. I stand to the side and watch the maids walk in with my dinner.I love food. I’m obsessed.The aroma from the Mac and Cheese fills my lungs and I just can’t wait to dig in.“I hope you like it, ma’am?—since it’s very late—”“I love et.” I don’t let Moana finish before I cut in.She smiles, “I’m glad.”“Alexa here will wait at the door until you’re done,”I grimace. “Oh, no. I can help myself. I’ll find my way to the kitchen.”I hate being waited upon. Ew.Moana licks a corner of her mouth hesitantly.I know she wants to protest, but I insist. “Please.”“There’s no problem, then.” She smiles. “Good night, ma’am.”“It’s Elizabeth. You can call me Lizzy if you find Elizabeth way too long.”She should stop calling me ma’am. Ew.She actually looks like someone who’s around the same age as me. She definitely is.She purses her lips as her gaze lands on my face, briefly. She nods politely and walks out of the room with the remaining two maids who also wish me goodnight.And yet again, I’m left all by myself. Yay!I scurry over to the bed and pick the plate from the tray, inhaling the aroma satisfactorily.Without further ado, I dig in. And I soon lick the plate clean.Now, I’m too tired to even return the ceramic bowl to the kitchen. I guess I’ll return it tomorrow morning. Very early tomorrow morning.Placing the bowl back in the tray, I carry the tray and place it on the bedside table. “Sleep here tonight.” I grin.Flexing my shoulders, I fling my body on the bed and instantly fall in love with it.“Damn, you’re so soft. Will you marry me, bed?” I murmur sleepily, yawning.My mind trails off to Ethan; he’s probably asleep already, that perv.I frown. Pervert.*** Early the following morning, my eyes squint open and I see that I unconsciously wrapped the bed covers around my body in the middle of night. It must have been super cold for me to have done that, ‘cause I don’t sleep with covers on. I’m way too lazy to pull the covers on all the time.I glance over at the tray and click my tongue.“Time to take you back, I hope you two slept well.” I spring to my feet and carry the tray from the table.After a while, the car glides through the wrought-iron gates of the Campbell residence.Spitfire's steps slow as we alight from the vehicle. I smile and reach for her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. "I'm here," I murmur.She huffs softly, but a smile tugs at the corner of her lips. Spitfire—nervous? The thought makes me stifle a snicker.The butler greets us at the door and leads us into a sunlit lounge. We settle onto a two-seater couch, our fingers interlocked firmly."Please make yourselves comfortable. I'll let Sir and Missus know you've arrived," John says before disappearing down the corridor.I notice Spitfire's gaze drifting around the room—of course, it's her first time here. However, her eyes snag on something and stay there. A painting of an intricate piece of jewellery hangs on the far wall, and she stares at it for a long, drawn-out moment—until the click of approaching footsteps announces the arrival of Anna's parents.We rise. I shake hands with Luther, and his wife g
But then I pull back.Ethan blinks, confused, his lips swollen and parted. Before he can say a word, I press a firm hand to his chest and push. He stumbles backward, his knees hitting the edge of the bed, and he drops onto the bed."Sit there." My voice comes out lower than I expected. "And don't move."Something shifts in his eyes—surprise, then raw hunger. He leans back on his palms and watches me.I pull my t-shirt over my head and let it drop to the floor. His gaze darkens, trailing slowly down my body. I can see him fighting the urge to reach for me, his fingers curling into the bedsheets.I step forward and climb onto his lap, straddling him. His hands fly to my waist but I catch his wrists and pin them against the headboard."Ah-ah." I click my tongue. "I'm in charge tonight."His jaw tightens. He likes this.I lean in and press a soft kiss to the corner of his jaw. Then his chin. Then just below his ear. He exhales sharply, his breath hot against my neck. I drag my lips down s
***Elizabeth's POVBy the time my eyes flutter open, it's past four in the afternoon. I drop my phone on the bedside drawer and turn to look at Ethan. The man who has once again barged into my life to steal me away. He says he's never letting me go again—baby, whoever said I'd even let you?This time, it's not even stealing because I'm going with him willingly. "Ouch." I wince at the soreness between my legs, my folds swollen and throbbing.A throaty chuckle sounds beside me and I glance up to find Ethan staring right back at me. He has that gruff, seductive look he always wears when he's about to say something filthy.The corner of his mouth twitches up into a smirk. "I want to take you again." His voice is low and husky, and my eyes widen.What? Just kill me already, you beast! Where does he even get his stamina from? Aren't CEOs supposed to be lazy in bed?I let out a heavy sigh. "Please, no. I'm exhausted." My voice comes out low and hoarse, barely above a whisper.His smirk dee
Ethan smirks again. "Good."He pulls his t-shirt over his head in one fluid motion, tossing it carelessly aside. Elizabeth's breath hitches at the sight of him—broad shoulders, sculpted chest, the defined lines of his abdomen... He settles between her legs and his gaze darkens as it lands on her already soaked panties."Wet for me already, I see."Elizabeth whimpers in response, her head spinning at all the things this man is about to do to her. It's been so long… too long.He clasps his palms under each of her thighs and drags her down toward him in one smooth, commanding motion so that she's now barely resting her head against the headboard. She reaches behind her, grabs a pillow, and wedges it between her back and the wood for comfort.He leans in and trails soft, open-mouthed kisses from the inside of her lower thigh up to the crease of her hip, then does the same on her other thigh. Each kiss is deliberate, slow, maddening. Her skin tingles and burns everywhere his lips touch.He
General POV"Spitfire."The word tears from Ethan Moore's throat the instant his eyes flutter open. After collapsing, he was rushed to the hospital, where Dr. Smith immediately hooked him up to an IV drip. His parents had gone berserk upon learning that a silly maid had caused their son to black out, firing her on the spot."Ethan!" Worry etches deep lines into Mrs. Moore's face as she rushes to his bedside, clutching his hand.A low groan escapes Ethan's lips as his gaze darts around the sterile room. Suddenly, his eyes widen. With a desperate urgency, he rips the IV needle from the back of his hand and forces himself off the mattress."Ethan! What is wrong with you?!" Clara Moore's eyes widen in sheer horror as blood drips from his torn skin.Wordlessly, Ethan darts toward the door."Insolence!"Upon hearing his father's booming voice, Ethan's steps falter. He slowly turns, his eyes burning with absolute rage. "You sent her away."The private ward falls dead silent.After a tense, h
Ethan’s POVNot long after Charles leaves, Anna Campbell and her parents enter.Tonight is shaping up to be an energy-draining ordeal—it already is.Barely a few minutes pass before they dive into wedding plans.“We need to fix the wedding date as soon as possible, now that we’re back,” Anna’s father announces.Anna’s hand slips around my bicep, and it takes every ounce of my self-control not to yank it away. She rests her head on my shoulder, the gesture feeling heavy and unwanted."Yes, yes." Dad replies. You want me to marry someone who didn’t check up on me—not even once—while I was in the hospital?Arthur had informed me she had been staying with me before her parents returned to the country, even though, for some reason, I cannot recall a single moment of it—Where was I even going when I had the accident?Removing her hand, I straighten up.“Please, excuse me.” I force a smile and a stiff nod.I need to get as far away from this place as possible, or I might end up doing somet
