LOGINNoah's POVI checked my watch for what felt like the hundredth time before walking toward the window.Where was she?Bending over, I scanned the street below, searching for a familiar head of red hair and those beautiful green eyes I had missed so much.She should be here by now.I had been waiting for almost an hour, and the longer I stood there, the more restless I became.Did she get lost? It was her first time in a place this big. I didn't expect her to know her way around on her first day.Running my hand through my hair, I returned to the couch and picked up my phone from the side table.Still no message from her.I sighed.Perhaps she was nervous.After everything that had happened between us, I couldn't blame her for hesitating. My actions had hurt her, and I knew that. But surely she could understand that I never intended for things to turn out this way.I had made mistakes, yes, but everything I did was for us. For our future.Katherine was never important to me. Whatever ha
HERMAN'S POV"Turn the car around," I said, looking out the window.Klaus glanced at me through the rear-view mirror. "Sir?""Did I stutter? Turn the fucking car around!" I barked at him. He immediately made a U-turn, speeding back in the direction of the estate.I dialed Ricardo's number, and he answered almost immediately. "Where are they now?""Still at Terminal 3, boss. My men are keeping an eye on them." He says, and I could hear Erik screaming in the background. Good I'll make sure he screams even more if I lose her to his foolishness."Good. Get over there and stall the Dominicos. I don't care what excuse you come up with; just make sure those bastards don't board that plane until I get there.""But boss, you said you were coming…" I began, but I cut him off immediately. "I'm changing plans, Ricardo. Handle it."I hung up and leaned back in my seat, running a hand through my hair.That woman would be the death of me.How dare she leave without telling me? Where the hell did she
Herman's POVHis face went pale, but he quickly masked it, giving me a smug smile."It's been a while, Mr. Liechenberg.""It sure has, Erik. Tsk, tsk. You don't look so good," I said, pulling a chair over and sitting in front of him. "So, here's how it's going to be, Erik. Just tell me what I need to know, and all will be forgiven. How about that?"He chuckled and without warning spat in my face."Go to hell, Herman. You're a devil."Ricardo stepped forward, his hand clenched into a fist, ready to punch the air out of him, but I raised my hand, gesturing for him to stop.I reached into my pocket, pulled out a handkerchief, and wiped my face.I chuckled. "I am the devil, yeah. But I must say, you really do have guts. You're among the few who dare to cross the devil. Congratulations. Even though none of them live to tell the tale."Putting the handkerchief away, I leaned forward and spoke in a cold voice. "I'd suggest you tell me what I need to know before I make you."I was done with t
Herman's POVI woke up to the first ray of sunlight spilling through the curtains into the room, casting a warm glow across the bed.I lay still, my arm draped loosely around her waist as I watched her sleep. Last night had been long and wild; I can't believe she let me be her first. The way she screamed my name still echoed in my head.Lanarai. She looked so ethereal yet so fragile in her sleep. Her fiery red hair fanned out across the pillow, her lips slightly parted, and her breathing was soft and even. The sheet had slipped down to her waist, exposing the pale curve of her shoulder and the delicate line of her collarbone.My member twitched at the sight, and it took every ounce of self-control not to position myself at her entrance and keep thrusting into her, feeling her warmth this early morning.I shook my head as if that would get rid of the thought. Reaching out, I brushed a strand of hair from her face, my knuckles grazing her cheek.Letting my fingers linger on her face, I
I woke up to sunlight streaming through floor-to-ceiling windows and the scent of Herman's cologne lingering on the pillow beside me.For a moment, I didn't move, lying there with my eyes closed; I breathed him in. The silk sheets were soft against my bare skin, and my body ached in places I didn't know could ache.The soreness between my thighs that ached with every little movement I made was a constant reminder of what had happened the night before.I stretched my hand across the sheets, reaching for him, my eyes still closed, searching for the warmth of his body.Last night he'd held me so tightly I could barely breathe, his arm draped over my waist, his breath warm against the back of my neck.He'd whispered things in the dark, things that made my heart race and my cheeks burn.But instead of his warm body, my hand held nothing but cold fabric.My eyes flew open. The space beside me was empty. The sheets were smooth and untouched, as if no one had ever been there at all.I sat up
Tying the silk scarf behind my head, Herman pushes me down into the bed. For some reason the smell of his cologne smelled stronger, and I could hear the sound of his breathing above me.“Herman…” My voice came out thin.“I’m here," he says in a hoarse voice as he traces the edge of the scarf from my temple down to my cheek. “If it gets too much, she can say stop, do you understand? Anytime.”I nodded.“Use your words, please, Engel," he whispers in my ear, making my body tingle."Yes… I understand.”His mouth brushed the corner of mine, and then he pulled away. I heard the rustling of clothes before he came up against me.He lifted my foot, kissing them slowly. "Herman…" I breathe. "What…what are you doing?"He doesn't stop. "Just trust me, okay?”So I swallowed my words and let him continue, his lips close around my big toe as he sucked in it hard."Herman…" I whispered his name as a tingling sensation travelled down my core. I immediately tried to pull my foot back, but he held firm
