Penelope’s POV:

Vincent spurs into action.

He grabs my waist and slams me into the wall, pressing his body up against mine as he deepens the kiss. It’s almost as if he’s been waiting for permission the entire time.

All my thoughts fly out of the window. All I’m aware of is Vincent.

His mouth over mine is hungry, and hot, devouring me like I’m the last drop of water on earth and he’s a man dying of thirst. His tongue forces its way into my mouth, and his teeth nibble on my lower lip.

He groans my name into my mount, his hands on my hips moving to my back. He gropes my ass and I gasp.

I’m overwhelmed, like a deer stuck in the headlights. I grab his shirt for stability, tilting my head so he can kiss me more. He nips at my lip and I bite back, sucking his lip between my teeth. I feel him smirk against my mouth.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck!

I’m hot all over in seconds. The heat is especially worse between my legs, I can feel my walls clenching around fucking air.

I move my hands down his che

  • Falling into the devil's bed   067: Tuesday

    Penelope’s POV:My head hurts. My chest hurts even more. I feel like I’ve been ran over by a truck. Two trucks carrying two families of five. The smell that greets my nose is that of disinfectant and despair. My eyes flutter open to a dark, sterile unfamiliar environment. I try to move my arms and immediately find that I can’t. All my limbs weigh a ton each. “Wha—” I try to speak, and my dry throat closes up, preventing me from getting any words out. “Princess? You’re awake,” a deep voice answers. Some relief washes over me. If Vincent is here then I know I’m safe. Turning my head, I spot him sitting beside me. He’s so close and staring into my face with wide eyes. He looks like he hasn’t slept, dark circles under his eyes, and a five o’clock shadow on his chin. It makes me pause. I’ve never seen him with anything but a clean shave. I’m tempted to reach out and brush my fingers across his chin, but my hands won’t move. “Hey,” I manage to choke out. “How are you feeling? Do

  • Falling into the devil's bed   066: SVT

    Vincent’s POV:“Is she okay?!”“Mr Halstead, it would be best if you—”“If you tell me to calm down, we are going to have a problem,”The doctor lets out a sigh, adjusting the tortoiseshell glasses slipping off his nose. He turns his head to the side, glancing at the door beside us. Beyond that door is Penelope. Unconscious and hooked up to machines and IVs and being attended to by nurses. The temptation to burst in there is strong. It’s been about two hours and I haven’t seen her since the nurses took her away. “She’s fine, thankfully what caused her to lose consciousness is not lethal,”The doctor’s voice makes me turn back to him. “What was it?” I ask, shifting my weight from foot to foot. My shoulders ache, and deep down I know I should relax or it’ll be bad. How can I fucking relax when she’s in there?“She has a heart condition,”The door opens and three nurses step out. “She’s stable now,” one of them says to the doctor. Another turns to me with an uneasy smile. “Are you her

  • Falling into the devil's bed   065: porcelain

    Vincent’s POV:“You’re bleeding,”“It’s not mine. I’m fine,”Her voice is breathless and shaky. Without a second thought, I take her hand and hold it gently in mine. Her knuckles have some bruising, and the blood on them is drying out. My jaw clenches. There’s only one person that could have done this. And I say this because I know he’s here. I take out a handkerchief and wipe her fists clean of blood. She’s trembling, her breaths rattle in her chest and end up coming out hard. “What…what are you doing here?”“Where is he?” Stashing the bloody cloth into my pocket, I meet her eyes. “Where’s that fucker?”Panic flashes in her eye and she steps back. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Who?”“Don’t do this now. Where is he?”She starts smoothening her palms down her thighs. Only then do I notice the high slit in her gown that wasn’t there this morning. “I’m gonna kill him,” are the next words out of me. “Vincent…” Penelope calls out, her tone frantic as she races after me. “I

  • Falling into the devil's bed   064: vow of silence

    Penelope’s POV:“You knew what?!”“No! Not like that! I swear it!” Sera takes a step back, laughing nervously. “It’s what I wanted to tell you yesterday, the video I said we had analyzed,”My breathing returns back to normal, and the image of me breaking up with Sera dissolves into nothing. “Alright. Alright. That’s good then.”She nods. “Yes. I’m sorry if it came out wrong. You looked ready to throw me out of the window,”I try to smile and fail. It feels like a stretch on my face rather than a genuine smile. I know Sera meant it as a lighthearted joke, but it doesn’t stop me from imagining what sort of scenario will play out when I reveal the secret of me being Thorne. Damn. It’s weighing on me a lot. “Is everything okay?” Sera touches my shoulder, the warmth of her palm gentle. “How about we take a small break after this exhibition? You really need to relax. Somewhere private, just the two of us and Athena.”“That sounds good. We should do that,”It truly sounds splendid. Maybe

  • Falling into the devil's bed   063: I knew about it

    Penelope’s POV I am so close to exploding. The exhibition is in two days and I am losing my mind. Silas’ party had finally come to an end, and now it was time for me to return to my life, and also to face all the destruction that’s happened over the weekend. I’m back to work. Back to throwing myself into copies of receipts and ledgers and records, hoping to distract myself from my phone. From Vincent. I haven’t spoken to him since the last conversation we had. I intend not to, not until he understands that I’m fine. I guess it must be difficult for a man such as himself. A man used to control and being in charge. I must be asking the impossible of him, to step aside to the sidelines and watch. It must be hell for him. Yet, I don’t care. All my life I’ve been controlled by one person or the other. My father. My then husband. Men at work. I’m tired of it. Sure, I had my countermeasures. I handled it fine. But it’s a situation I never want to be in ever again. Plus, Vincent

  • Falling into the devil's bed   062: cornered

    Vincent’s POV“Athena,” I choose to start there, at least that history is the most savory one. Penelope nods, her foot still drumming into the ground, shoulders tense and tight. Damn it. My chest feels tight. That’s strange. I’ve never felt this way before. Am I nervous right now?“Go on,” she snaps, her voice sharp and cutting. Oh shit. I am nervous. I feel like I’m being interrogated for a crime. She’s scary as hell. Clearing my throat, I shift my weight from foot to foot. Across the window just behind me, the gremlin’s party is still going full bash. I turn to it, spotting Athena and Mordecai with ease. I find myself wishing for a distraction right now. “Vincent. You’re pissing me off,” Penelope’s voice almost makes me jump. I snap my gaze back to her. “Yes. About Athena. She and I were Protégés. After I was sent out by the Halsteads, this man took me in. There I met Athena.”Penelope’s eyes narrow, searching my face for a trace of a lie. She won’t find any. I can’t brin
