DANTE'S POV

Her eyes were blazing, wild with anger and something else I couldn’t name. She had no idea the kind of war she was inviting. The shot rang out. A clean, sharp crack that pierced the room. The vase on the console table behind her exploded. The ceramic shards along with the flowers flew around.

Camille shouted from the end of the room. “What the hell, Dante?”

I didn’t answer. I lowered the gun slowly, engaging the safety again, and placed it on the table. I turned my back to them. I couldn’t stand the sight of her. With her smart mouth. Her fire… God. I had to do my best to avoid her. I’ll keep my distance henceforth. The garage door slid shut behind me with a mechanical groan. I tossed the keys to the valet and got into one of the blacked-out sedans. I dialed a number.

“Tell them I’m coming. Right now.,” I said flatly.

“Sir?” the voice on the other end sounded confused. “The race isn’t until tonight.”

I ended the call without saying anything else. I was angry, but I didn't

    Autumn“From the look in your eyes, it seems you want to pick up the call,” Dante said, ending his own call.“Why shouldn’t I pick up his call?” I asked, and Dante groaned in frustration.“Are we going to keep going back and forth? What did I say to you about being discreet?” Dante asked angrily.And before I could respond, he snatched the phone from me, switched it off, and tucked it into his breast pocket.“This is not acceptable,” I stated angrily.“If he cannot reach you, he would stop disturbing you,” Dante said.“Let me have my phone, Dante,” I demanded fiercely. “I am not a child whose gadget you could just seize at will,” I added, my anger increasing.“If you want to fight and argue in front of a stranger, then by all means, do so,” Dante said.And I flushed in embarrassment. He certainly did that on purpose, but then again, I decided not to bother about it right now. He couldn’t keep my phone away from me forever, so I turned the other way and simply stared out through the w

  • Forbidden Desire: Tempted By My Stepbrother   Too Damn Authoritative

    AutumnDante took my bag to his room.“Ulcer sent you the address of your dad’s house, right?” He asked me as soon as we got into his hotel room.“Yes, he did,” I answered.“And I am guessing you would like to go there and see things for yourself before the funeral, right?” He asked me again.Dante was sounding really hasty and desperate, and he was making me scared and worried.“Yes, I would very much like to,” I answered.“Then, we will go there without informing Ulcer,” Dante stated authoritatively.“Shouldn’t we call him and have him direct us before we get there?” I asked, a little uncomfortable with how authoritative he was sounding.“I just said that we wouldn’t be doing that, Autumn, and please, no mention of what happened in this hotel,” he said firmly. “If our driver doesn’t know the house, we will simply use the map. It’s as simple as that,” he added.“You like to take control of things and order everyone around, don’t you?” I asked angrily, holding my hip with my hand defi

  • Forbidden Desire: Tempted By My Stepbrother   Dangerous Attempt

    DanteAutumn’s scream woke me up instantly, and I knew that it was her voice the moment I heard it.“Autumn?” I called, but she was evidently not in my room. “When did she leave?” I asked myself as I hurried out of bed.Before I dozed off, Autumn had been right here, sleeping peacefully in my arms, and that was after spending hours last night trying to console her.Never in my entire existence had I ever seen anyone cry nonstop for hours, but Autumn had. I was relieved when she eventually slept off at 3:00a.m, giving me the chance to also doze off even though I had intended to watch over her until dawn.I guess I hadn’t realized how tired I had been from the flight and every other thing that I had had to do all through yesterday.Then she screamed again, and it dawned on me that she was screaming from her own hotel room. I hurried out of my room, and because her room was open, I saw her standing by the door, but I saw the reason she was screaming.Her room had been turned upside down.

  • Forbidden Desire: Tempted By My Stepbrother   In His Arms

    AutumnI woke up from a dream that made me unsettled, and I found myself wrapped protectively in Dante’s arms.“Gosh, not again,” I lamented with regret.Then I quickly looked into the sheet and found out that I wasn’t undressed. It was the exact same way I was dressed yesterday.And now, I couldn’t tell if anything had had happened or not, but if it did, wouldn’t I be have the feeling, and wouldn’t I be naked? Two things I couldn’t quite remember; how I found myself in Dante’s bed and arms, and the exact dream that woke me up.First, I did recall that Dante and I had walked back to our hotel rooms after the meeting with Ulcer which didn’t end well, and I had been so swallowed up in grief that I hadn’t even realized anything that happened after that.And then the dream…I couldn’t place it, but it felt as though my dad had appeared to me and said something that sent shivers down my spine. Usually, I would have screamed or jerked awake when I had such an unsettling dream, but I didn’t

  • Forbidden Desire: Tempted By My Stepbrother   Being Her Guard

    DanteThe horror in Autumn’s eyes wasn’t like anything I had seen before, and I was glad that I didn’t allow Ulcer to talk me out of her presence.Why would he just blurt things out like that?It took a moment for Autumn to regain her consciousness, but I could already see tears gathering in her eyes, and I wanted Ulcer to excuse us almost immediately so that I could take her out of the public eyes.“Who would murder him?” Autumn asked, her voice laced with deep sadness.“Autumn, you should…” I started, but she cut me off.“No, I want to know what happened to him,” she insisted.Well, she had already heard the hardest part of it since Ulcer chose to start from that angle, so maybe it was better she heard everything else at once. My only concern was that it was breaking her, and she might break down completely out here, and I didn’t want that.“How was he murdered?” She turned to Ulcer and asked.I couldn’t deny that I hadn’t noticed how he had been looking at me, but he should know th

  • Forbidden Desire: Tempted By My Stepbrother   Always Look Out For Danger

    AutumnWhat Dante said to me came to me as a shock. After spending all this time with them, I knew that they were surrounded by enemies, but I never thought that they would want to get me involved.“I don’t mean to scare you, but he is a very bad man, Autumn,” Dante continued as shivers ran down my spine. “You have no idea what I have done to keep you protected. The man you met, Eric Sunderman, or whatever he told you he name was, is not Eric. He is one of Don Milano’s men who was sent to kidnap you and take you to him,” Dante went on to add.I wanted him to stop because the more he spoke, the more scared I became.I recalled Eric well enough, and how Dante had tried to kill him. Now I understood why he had acted the way he did, and meanwhile, I had been upset and defensive that day. I also recalled that he was taking me towards a direction I was unfamiliar with. There were so many people there that day, and he could have chosen to mingle with anyone of them, and yet, he chose me. I h
