CHAPTER 20
Darius lay there and watched the sunlight sneak through the mostly closed blinds. It was too early for Alannah to wake considering they hadn’t fallen asleep until the early hours of the morning for the second day in a row.
He couldn’t seem to take his eyes off her. She was stunning, and he found himself enjoying their time together. The need to let her tour the island had started out of guilt for taking her virginity, especially so roughly.
But as he’d spent the day with her, his guilt had ended and Darius found himself enjoying her company. Alannah had such childlike wonder over everything she saw, causing him to see it for the first time through her eyes. He’d had this image in his mind of her, and she was smashing that visual to pieces. Alannah wasn’t at all who Darius had expected her to be.

The last few days they spent together were absolutely perfect and Alannah couldn’t feel happier and at ease in his company. But she was sensing a change in their relationship… It was shifting in a direction that was both exciting and confusing. Darius was behaving like a perfect gentleman during the daytime, showing her around during the day, indulging her every single desire, listening to her every request, and anticipating her every thought. And what she was experiencing next to him was so unique, so wonderful… And the nighttime… Well, that was the moment she preferred the most… Being with him, feeling his body next to hers, on top of hers… Making love to him was something out of this world. She didn’t have experience but the way he was making her feel&hellip

Darius awoke and stretched, feeling good. The week had been a whirlwind of activities, but he’d found himself having some long overdue fun. He tried telling himself it was nothing more than fun, but as he’d spent every hour of every day with Alannah, he’d found himself needing to be with her. He’d forced himself to tone it down a little, but he couldn’t pull fully away. At least not yet, he couldn’t. He didn’t know how the two of them were surviving on so little sleep. They hadn’t yet made it through an entire night without waking at least once to make love again. Twice last night, he’d woken with an urgent need to take her, to lose himself in her warmth… The first time, she’d been just as hungry, and they’d come together quickly, a tangle of arms and legs. The second time had been more leisurely, both of

His gut was churning in anticipation. Darius was on his way to Camryn Jackson’s house. He didn’t tell Alannah he was arriving in Seattle. He wanted to see her face, know what thoughts were going on inside her head. Darius hadn’t spoken to her in almost two weeks, unable to leave Australia before now. But two weeks had done nothing to cure his desire for her. He wanted her now more than ever before. Fury and passion intensified inside him, each feeling trying to topple the other. He’d made the deal with her father, giving the man large sums of money in exchange for her being his… employee. It had obviously turned into more than an employer/employee relationship, which made him even angrier. He’d never had a woman walk out on him before and he didn’t like it one litt

“Let’s go out back to others,” Owen said as he grabbed his own bottle of beer and moved toward the den’s door. Darius didn’t hesitate. He followed behind his cousin, and then realized he hadn’t asked one single question of any of the Jacksons. How was he supposed to get information if he wasn’t even thinking about interrogation? The only person he seemed to want to interrogate was Alannah. He vowed to himself he’d just make sure she was really there, then he’d focus on his ‘family’. As they neared the back of the house, delicious aromas started drifting through the room. Darius’s stomach rumbled loudly at the smells surrounding him.“You picked a good day to show up,” Daniel said.“Yeah… The weather’s good, and we’re getting

The silence was stifling as Darius pulled out of Cam’s driveway. He had to get her alone. Darius felt like if he didn’t get her into his bed again, he’d explode. He didn’t need her. He’d proven that. He could easily insert himself into the lives of the Jacksons without suspicion. Hell, there was a fundraiser event coming up shortly he’d be attending with them. He’d already made contact, so he could drop Alannah off at home, and then drive away. No harm done. Except, Darius knew that wasn’t true. Even the thought of leaving her with that man who called himself her father caused an ache in Darius’s chest. He couldn’t do it. He tried telling himself it was because she still had a job to do for him, but he knew better.&nbs

“Look, Darius, you’ve proven that I want you. You’ve shown me a world of emotions and sensations I never even imagined existed before meeting you,” Alannah started.“Why do I get the feeling there’s a ‘but’ coming up?” he asked, his tone wary.“But…” Alannah paused, “this… you and me… isn’t a good idea. Yes, the sex is mind-blowing, but I’m in no way capable of having a cheap affair followed by you discarding me like yesterday’s trash. I just can’t, Darius. This isn’t me. So, maybe you should look for someone else…”“Wow… You think pretty little of me, obviously,” he stated, his tone turning cold.“It’s not that I think little of you, Darius. It’s that I know how men like you work.” The truth of what she said,
GIVE ME EVERYTHING CHAPTER 27
Darius began his accent, pinning her to the back of the couch, her legs trapped against the high-backed piece of furniture, his arms caging her in. Desire flooded through her, causing her breath to deepen and her tongue to drift out and moisten her lips. His eyes narrowed in on the movement before slowly lifting upward and connecting with her gaze.“I will get my vengeance, Alannah! Revenge against your best friend and all her relatives. You see, you were my ticket in because of who you knew. When your father called, I wanted nothing to do with him. I know the kind of man he is, but when I found out who you associated with, I figured it was my lucky day. I want them comfortable around me, thinking they’re safe and sound. They may have no trouble sleeping at night, but I know the truth about the Jackson family… The whole family. I know who they really are,”
GIVE ME EVERYTHING CHAPTER 28
Darius pulled back as he tried to regain control over his body. He was frustrated. He’d just told her everything of his past, something he’d never shared. He was angry at his mother, his relatives…He told her about the pain he’d gone through. He didn’t know any other way to reign in the pain other than by taking control. He had to get control, needed it more than he needed the air in his lungs. He had to push away the vulnerability. As Darius pushed Alannah, he noticed the flush to her skin, that her eyes were dilated. She wanted him and he had to take her, had to push away the past. As he focused on desire, he was able to push the ill feelings away, forget about the Jacksons and his revenge. Everything in him pushed him to move forward, claim her as his own and ease the pain inside.
