*RAPHAEL*

I cleared my throat and tried my best to look stern.

I then nodded, curtly at Flora and walked off.

I couldn’t let anyone find out I was a different person, not until Lorenzo was found.

It wasn’t only because I was forced into this. I had come to want to really help Lorenzo. We might not know each other, we haven’t met before but he was my brother. And more than anything, I hoped he would be fine safe and alive.

I hoped we could have a brotherhood bond that was initially stolen from us. I was beginning to wonder if he’d like me.

He surely would since I was helping him maintain his place in his company.

As I walked out of the house, I found Dante standing by the side of the car.

We got into the car and he drove off.

“How was your honeymoon?” He asked.

I eyed him. “Well, I tried my best to have fun with the evil Mona. God, she’s one hell of a woman.”

Dante laughed. “She actually reminds me of Lorenzo.”

If Lorenzo was exactly like Mona, I winced. That meant, he might not like m

  • End the Stupid Bet, Win My Stage   Chapter 220 Out of my system

    *LORENZO*Danica screams as she climaxes. It’s a cock-hardening sound. Her fingers are clenched around the sheets. Her head tossed back. Her mouth open. I kiss her clitoris as she writhes beneath me, then her belly, her navel, her stomach, and her sternum as she mewls, and taking her cries into my mouth, I ease into her.*********My phone buzzed. And without looking at the caller ID, I know it’s Carla. I’d promised to see her. Ignoring the phone, I gaze down at Danica, who is dozing beside me. She’s becoming quite demanding in bed, and I like it. Leaning down, I kiss her shoulder, and she stirs.“I have to go out,” I murmur.“Where are you going?”“I have to see a friend.”“Oh.”“I need to talk some things through with her. I won’t be long.”Danica sits up. “Okay.” She glances out the window. It’s dark.“It’s six P

  • End the Stupid Bet, Win My Stage   Chapter 219 I am glad

    *LORENZO*Danica towel-dries her hair while I shave.The bruise on her side looks smaller, but it’s still a livid purple. A wave of guilt washes through me, she certainly gave me no indication last night or this morning that she was in any pain. She gives me a dazzling smile over her shoulder, and like a sea mist in the breeze, my guilt fades into the ether.Part of me wants to stay here with her forever. But I also need to leave.There was so much work for me to do in town and I didn’t want my father to notice.But it will be a shame to go. I’m enjoying our comfortable familiarity, and I marvel at the change in her. She seems far more confident, and it’s been only a few days.Tossing her hair to the side, with a glance at me, she strolls out of the bathroom, naked as the day she was born. I peek around the doorframe; the view is too tantalizing not to enjoy, her hair swinging almost to her waist in a gentle counterpoint to her w

  • End the Stupid Bet, Win My Stage   Chapter 218 Her reverie

    *LORENZO*Danica is lying across me, head on my chest, her fingers tapping out a melody over my stomach. I don’t know what it is, but I’m enjoying it.I call the kitchen via the internal phone system. “Mona, I’d like some supper in my room. Can we have some sandwiches and a bottle of wine?”“Very good. Beef?”“Great. And a bottle of the Château Haut-Brion.”“I’ll leave a tray outside the door, sir.”“Thank you.” I smile at the blatant glee in her voice and hang up the phone. I don’t know why, but Mona knows that Danica is different. I’ve brought girls here before, but Mona’s never been as solicitous as she’s been today. She must know that I’m in love. Head over heels. Completely. Utterly. Wholly. In love.“You have a phone for inside the house?” Danica looks up at me.“It’s a big house.” I grin.

  • End the Stupid Bet, Win My Stage   Chapter 217 His warmth

    “Here, let me help you....” Taking hold of her hand, he plants a kiss in her palm. He moves it to his chest, and she splays it out against his skin, feeling his warmth. His lips part as he takes a sharp breath.“I like you touching me.”Encouraged, she moves her hand down, her fingers tickling the fine hair that’s sprinkled across his chest. She skims over one of his nipples, and it puckers under her touch.“Oh,” she breathes in delight.“Oh,” he responds, his voice hoarse, his eyes hooded and a dark, mossy green.He’s watching her like a hawk. She bites her upper lip, and he groans.“Don’t stop,” he whispers. Feeling more wanton and enjoying the fact that she’s turning him on, she moves her hand south over his smooth skin, over the bluffs and dips of his abdominal muscles.He tenses beneath her touch, and his breathing accelerates. She reaches the line of hair that

  • End the Stupid Bet, Win My Stage   Chapter 216 Most audacious

    *LORENZO*I am itching to touch her. But I can’t. This is the most audacious she’s been with me since we first made love.My body is straining. How can her innocent touch be so erotic? She’s driving me wild. She eases my shirt over my shoulders and tugs it down to my elbows. I present her with my wrists.“Cuffs.”She flashes me a grin and undoes each one in turn, then drags my shirt off and drapes it over the armchair in front of the fire.“Now what are you going to do?” he says.*********Danica steps back to admire his fine, toned physique in the dancing light of the fire. The gold in his hair glints, and his eyes are a luminous green. They watch her, full of promise as he stares.Emboldened by his gaze, she reaches down and peels off her sweater, then tugs her football shirt over her head and shakes her hair loose. But her courage fails at the last minute, and she hesitates, holding the top to her b

  • End the Stupid Bet, Win My Stage   Chapter 215 Beneath his skin

    “I was hurt,” she says after an age.“I know. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you. I never want to hurt you. But where would you have gone?”“I don’t know.” She turns to face me. “I think it was...how do you say? Instinct. You know, Tomas and Julio...I’ve been running for so long. I was a little crazy.”“I can’t imagine how terrifying that was for you.” I cringe and close my eyes, thanking all the gods that I got to her in time. “But you can’t run every time we have a problem. Talk to me. Ask me questions. About anything. I’m here. I’ll listen. Argue with me. Shout at me. I’ll argue with you. I’ll shout at you. I’ll get it wrong. You’ll get it wrong. That’s all okay. But to resolve our differences, we have to communicate.”A fleeting look of anxiety crosses her face.“Hey.” I tilt her chin up and d
