“That doesn’t answer the question.”

My tone was hard and unflinching, nothing like the butterflies in my belly.

Great, I was getting better at hiding these damn feelings.

“Falling for me isn't enough for you to do that, is it?” I continued, and he just stared at me like I was speaking gibberish.

Like he couldn’t understand why I was being so insufferable.

Well, serves you right dickhead.

His eyes dimmed for a moment before he scooted closer. Dangerously close.

“What do you think? Huh?” he breathed, blue eyes burning into mine. “I would do that and more for the woman that makes me lose my wit.”

I leaned further away from him, my back pressing into the door of the car. “Give me something tangible, Atlas. Something I can trust firmly.”

“Listen,” he let out a deep sigh, “I just didn’t want you taking the fall for a scumbag like Luke. That’s it. And I believe you deserved much better than life dished you, you know? The twisted fate with the Grants.”

I stared at him long and hard, hea

  • Falling in love with the Devil’s son   THE GRANTS

    ELENAAs soon as I got out of the car in front of Emily’s house, I thanked the driver and made my way to the front doors.I knew the passcode to her house, so I just let myself in.But Emily was already hurrying to the front door, golf club firmly gripped in her hands, just to make sure that it wasn’t a thief breaking into her house.She did a double take when she saw me, the golf club falling limply to her side. “Bitch,” she cursed under her breath, her eyes roaming my entire frame slowly. “You decide to come back the same way you left, huh? Creeping in and out..”My lips stretched in a wide smile as I dropped the bag to the floor and half-jogged all the way to her, throwing my arms around her in a bear hug.“Mm,” I shut my eyes as the familiar feeling of peace engulfed me completely, a citrusy scent filling my nostrils. “I missed you too, bitch.”She pried me away and observed me at arm’s length, a smile tugging on her lips where her eyes were deep-set. “There’s that glow,” she mumb

    ATLASI waved my hand dismissively, forcing a smile on. “It’s nothing.”“It’s not nothing,” she insisted in a firm voice. “Your phone has clearly been blowing up nonstop with calls from your father. Can you at least take the call?”I let out a deep sigh, switching off the phone. “I told you it’s nothing. I can simply deal with it later.”She stared at me for a few seconds more, then she leaned back against her seat and stared out the window.We barely exchanged any more words until we arrived at the airport.“Welcome, boss,” the pilot greeted as we got onboard the jet, and I acknowledged him with a slight nod.“Listen,” I turned to Elena, handing her one of the headphones, “I’ll ask my driver to take you home when we land in New York.”She cocked a brow at me, her lips pursed. “Really?”“Yeah, I have to do a thing or two before I head back.”She shrugged, settling into one of the seats in the jet and throwing her gaze out the window.Throughout the flight back, my mind was preoccupied

  • Falling in love with the Devil’s son   DETOUR

    ATLASWell, damn. That was fire.I lay in the midst of the tousled, soaked sheets, tangled up with Elena, whose face was flushed and hair attractively messy.She had a small smile playing on her lips, her eyes twinkling with the same bliss I was reveling in.“This was why you wanted a detour, isn’t it?” Her voice came out in a soft breath, fanning my chest.I shrugged, threading my fingers through her soft, blonde curls. “I guess it just happened.”She chuckled quietly, shaking her head, and in the silence that followed, my thoughts strayed.I really liked this..being here with her..sharing little, harmless jokes that let me enjoy the melody in the laughter that spilled from her sensuous lips..holding her in my arms..reveling in the heavy smell of our passion that hung in the air…But I was too overwhelmed by the past, too afraid to let myself feel these things deeply. I was too afraid of the aftermath, of the pain that would most likely follow.The last thing I wanted to do was hurt

  • Falling in love with the Devil’s son   FIREWORK

    ELENABack to PresentI stared at Atlas with my mouth hung open, shock and fury whiplashing through me as I began to put two and two together, and slowly, it came to me.Oh my God, he was really just like the rest of them, wasn’t he?How on earth have I been a fool all my life? Was that really what I was created to be? A fool, a naive girl that couldn’t think for herself for once, to see that she was being played. Being used.A test subject.“Let me ask you, and I need the truth from you.”He pinned me with his gaze, striking blue eyes telling me everything I needed to know before I even asked.But I still needed to ask… I had to give every benefit of doubt.“Did you know who I was back then?” My eyes burned into him steadily, as I didn’t want to miss even the tiniest bit of reaction. “Did you know I was married to your brother?”He still refused to speak, only leaning closer, the space suddenly too small for us both. His big form crowded me in, I could barely breathe.I needed to foc

  • Falling in love with the Devil’s son   HOOK UP

    ELENAA few years ago“Hey babe.”Braden’s usually deep voice that rumbled with energy, was dull and quiet, when I dropped a light kiss on his cheek, just as I came down the stairs.He glanced up at me, his eyes taking in my immaculate white dress and neatly tucked-in blonde hair, a glint of disapproval shining in his eyes. “You’re off to work already?”“Of course,” I replied cheerily, glancing at my wristwatch. “My God, look at the time.” I leaned down again to plant a kiss on his lips, but he caught my chin in his palm and paused my movement, holding my gaze with glazed eyes.“Do you really have to keep working?”I let out a sigh, sliding onto his lap. “Is this the reason you look so sullen?”“Honestly, I can’t seem to understand why you’d want to work when you have me, who’s ready to provide everything you need.”“Well,” I slid my fingers up his neck and into his tangled mass of hair, “I simply don’t want to be that kind of wife, babe. I don’t want to stay home all day—““And you p
