Kelvin“About time.” My father breathed out, his face impassive.For most people, he might seem indifferent about my return but I knew him well enough to detect a sign of relief.My father doesn't show love like typical parents, having been raised to show little to no emotions, but in his own twisted way, he does care about me.“What took you guys so long?” he barked out.“I had to disable communications to ensure that they couldn't find us.”“Shit.” He cursed under his breath, tapping long fingers on the desk. “Those fucking Rocci's. What's your plan now?”He threw the question into the air quite casually but I knew it was anything but.It was a test.Everything was with this man.According to my father, it takes a certain type of leader to run the mafia, and for him to entrust his empire to me, he needs to be certain that I'm that type of man, and how he does that is by passing out these tests.Which was why I pretended to critically think over my answer.In truth, I knew what I was
LauraBlood filled my head, a ringing sound present in my skull.Groaning, I rolled to my eyes, prying open my eyes despite the pounding in my brain.A thick cloud of smoke had covered the yard, restricting my vision to a couple of feet in front of me.A gunshot pierced the air, startling a scream out of me. Unfortunately, the gunshot was quickly followed by another and it seems that I was right in the middle.My heart jumped into my throat and I started to panic, making a mad scramble for the gun that Kelvin had handed over to me just minutes before our world collapsed.Reaching blindly, my fingers snagged on a cold metal and I carried, hugging the metal to my chest.This is the only thing between me and a bunch of armed guys.“Kelvin?” I called out, keeping my voice low as I couldn't afford to alert others of my location. “Kelvin, where the hell are you?”I twisted my body back and forth, holding the gun in front of me as I inched my way towards the front door.I took one step forwa
LauraThe light chipper of the birds woke me up first.Or was it Kelvin?I can't remember.Speaking of Kelvin, he's a beast in bed.Just when I thought he was satisfied, he would wake me up in a crazy way and then pound the living daylight outta me.I can't lie…those were the best, earth shattering orgasms I’d ever had.I think I even lost count of how many times I came to his touch.But that was last night.For a couple of hours, I'd managed to shove aside the residual feelings we had for each other but in the harsh light of day, I can't deny it anymore.My lashes fluttered open but I reminded still, trying my hardest not to wake him up.I shouldn't have bothered though because when I turned around, his side of the bed was empty.And cold, like he'd been gone a while.Flinging the sheets back, I swung my legs over the side of the bed, picking up a shirt and pants from the floor.The warm hardwood floor welcomed my feet but as soon as I moved, every muscle screamed in protest.I arche
LauraI froze, my muscles locking into place.Another round of knocks came and this time, it snapped me out of my reverie."Ye...yeah, I'm fine." I called out, my voice shaky."If you are, then open the door up." The doorknob jiggled, making me remember that I'd locked it when I stepped into the bathroom."Just go away." I called weakly, gripping the sink as if it were the only thing holding me up.Which in fact, it was.That wasn't a request, Laura." Kelvin's voice was deeper and firmer now. "Open the door now."I swallowed thickly, the rough edges of his voice rubbing against me. I went mute as I couldn't bring myself to respond.A minute passed and then two."Laura."That tone. This time, there was no mistaking the steel underneath it.That was a warning."If you don't open this, then I'll break the door in." He tells me in a no nonsense tone that tells me he'll carry out his threat. "You've got two minutes."My heart stuttered.Pushing away from the sink, I walked over to the door
Laura“Widen your legs.” Kelvin ordered from behind me and it took everything I had to concentrate on the faux target he constructed and placed 20 yards away.I did as instructed, rolling my shoulders to relive the tension. “Okay, what else?”“When shooting a gun, it helps to think of it as an extension of you not some foreign object.” Kelvin lectures, pacing around me like a predator circling his prey. “That way, the alignment flows seamlessly. Now, raise your elbows.”I raised them, feeling silly as I formed my fingers into a gun.I'd argued with Kelvin a hundred times to hand over an real gun for me to do target practice with but he claimed that they were too dangerous.I had to first get my target practice perfected before he could hand over a real gun for me to use.“You do know that this is stupid, right? I need a gun.” I huffed impatiently. “We're just wasting time with you teaching me how to position my arms and legs.”Kelvin stopped pacing and looked at me. “Fine if you think
KelvinI awoke with a jerk, my eyes flying open as I reached for the gun I always tucked into the waistband of my trousers.When I came up empty, panic shot through the roof and I sat upright, glancing around the area.It wasn't until I spotted the tray of food that the events of the previous day came back to me.Shooting…The cabin…Laura.That prompted me to get my ass in motion.Flipping back the covers, I had forgotten about the gunshot wound until pain exploded down my arm, reminding me.“Shit…” I cursed under my breath, hugging my arm to my chest.Now conscious of the injury, I walked gingerly out of the bedroom and toward the living room.The first thing that greeted me was the fresh smell of bacon.When I turned the corner I saw the reason why. Laura was dancing to music playing out of her phone, her ass moving deliciously in my shirt.Instead of walking up to her like I should have I linked against the doorjamb, my greedy eyes eating up every inch of exposed skin, starting fr
