Got Too Close Their Gem
My mother slowly shifted away from me to the side, sober and staring at my father, who didn't look too happy to see me, his face holding his displeasure.I clutched at my bag, holding his gaze, my eyes pleading for forgiveness.How could he still be angry with me when it was many years ago? He knew my reason; didn't he say I took after him with my fighting spirit?"Father," I whispered.But then, as I watched, his lips curled into a smile, and then opening his arms wide.I didn't have to be asked twice; I ram into his arms, curling into the comforting smell of seawater and fish; it was the smell I remembered breathing in since I was a child.He caressed my hair, his hold tightening around me, "My little girl," he muttered against my hair, "My little girl is back.""I missed you, Father; I missed you so much."From the corner of my eyes, I could see my mother picking Mia up and hugging her, staring down at little Matteo, who was suddenly looking protective."You look so beautiful," my

Elena's POV."We watch you on TV; the last one had your father howling," my mother gossiped as we were alone making dinner, and as she stirred the fish soup, I was trying to slice carrots without my fingers following it. "It was good for him to come back to you."I only smiled, fixating my attention on the knife; my mum didn't know the marriage had been a contract. However, my father had suspected it during the wedding.Married couples were supposed to be touchy, but on that day, Nikolai and I had stayed widths apart, not even looking at each other, but each time we locked eye contact, I felt my heartbeat racing.Although my father hadn't said it directly to my face, he only grumbled it to my mother; his only agreement on the wedding was because I stood my ground, screaming that was what I wanted."You said you two were divorced, but I always thought it wasn't over," she smiled at me, "Look how he shows you off now, can't seem to get enough of ....""Mummmm," I groaned when I almost sl

I stood in the middle of the room, face red and sweat pouring down my chin, the causes of my sudden mood swings running around the table, screaming at the top of their lungs, prodding me to, 'Catch me, mummy."It didn't help I was also on call with Charlotte."So far, spicy has top the sales; Elena, we need publicity; the competition is a lot,"I groaned, the urge to stuff my face into a pillow taking its hold on me; it didn't help that my mum and dad had left me with the little monsters suddenly hyperactive.I was surprised at how they had adapted to their new habitat; Matteo was always in the river playing with the neighborhood children, while Mia had found the sand to be her new best friend.Right now, sand was in both their hairs; Matteo looked like he had swum in mud."Dear God, Matteo, you look horrible.""I don't, Mama," he defended, jumping on the table, my mother's head tie around his neck while he wielded a spatula at his sister, who giggled when the wood poked her chest."H

I ran my mascara over my lashes for the umpteenth time, making sure it was just enough; I loved my mascara in between messy and just okay.And all those while he sat there looking at me."He was the one who came yesterday, then?" My father asked, and I rolled my eyes, "What? I'm just inquiring, don't act like I just told you he was a wimp.""Dad, when you came yesterday, you said he was a wimp.""Yeah, because only a wimp would be so scared not to come along with his usual flashy cars," my dad chuckled, "what is he scared off, robbers?"I dropped the mascara picking up my lip gloss, promising myself it would be the last touch; I turned to my father, "Dad, I promise you'll learn to love Nikolai if only you want to."He stood behind me as I checked myself in the mirror, "Just promise me one thing, Elena?""Anything, Dad""If he eventually leaves again, gets me right. I'm not saying he will, but if he does again," he held my hand turning me to face him, "That you won't lock us out too?"
Got Too Close Potions
Nico stood with the men, a plastered calm on his face; it was amazing how one could stand with his enemies while they smiled at him, but then wasn't that political?"Forgive me for not introducing myself," the man stretched his hands to him, "Fabio Conti."Nico took the hand, shaking it with a firm grip. Alessandro stood by, staring at something that caught his attention as he rolled his glass with solid fingers."Hopefully, Fabio, you go as far as you expect with your campaign," he smiled, "You seem quite driven,""Politics is being driven," Fabio smiled back, "Of course, the love of the people also counts, but then there should be a way around that."Nico dipped his hands in his pocket, ignoring a tray before him. Now, this was what he hated about the law, unable to throw a fist even when the perpetrators were before him, smiling his ass off, throwing him double-implied sentences.He sighed."I'll also like to commend you, Mr. President; you've done quite a good job keeping the cou

"Can I have my panties back... "At that moment, the car turned cold; it was like time had stopped as I watched his face draw into something unreadable.His lashes flew open, and slowly he sat up from the car seat, turning to me, "You said something, Elena?"I nodded, feeling the heat spread on my cheeks and even my chest; I looked down at his chest, whispering, "I want my panties back."I shut my eyes, listening to him breathe, and then placing his hand under my chin, he raised my face to see a plastered smile on his lips.He leaned in and kissed me, his hand aiding me into him, pulling me in.In a flash, I was straddled on his hips as his hands traveled my body, zipping me down so he could access my nakedness."The beach house," he said to Noah, his thumb still caressing my cheeks, looking me in the eyes, daring me to back away, but instead, I wrapped my hands around his neck and breathed in the scent of his cologne.*****Now I'm on his bed, looking around at white painted walls, h

His turn to obey now, and he did, making me gasp and clutch the bed when I felt his tip at the entrance of my sheath, staring at my face; he teased me this time, rubbing against my wet dripping walls."Impatient little thing aren't you" he groaned, leaning his broad back, covering my chest from the little light, and slowly he prodded into me, filling every bit of space. I shut my eyes and whimpered, burying my face into his shoulders. We stayed still for a while, hearing him breathe over my body, his palms supporting his weight as if he was afraid to crush me, and slowly I wrapped my legs around his waist. "I'll thrust now; hold on tight."My hands around him now, I held onto his back, and he began humping against me, slowly at first, as carefully as he could; I shut my eyes, loving the sensation, but then he ordered."Don't do that; I want to see you come for me."And we went on and on, as the candle lights slowly dimmed, went through the night ignoring the rings of our phone, gra
Got Too Close Stranger
Elena's POV.He stood still, staring at the weapon-decked wardrobe, his face in awe as mine was filled with fear; the sheet around my chest and knotted under my armpits was the only thing covering me.It wasn't the guns that had my heart about to be ripped off my chest; it was the amount of it, and what's more, the way his face wove with amusement as if he had just bumped into a birthday present."It's not what you think, Elena."I wasn't even thinking; it was as if my brain had somehow shut down trying to make out what so many guns were doing in his beach house. He began to stride toward me, past me and then shut the wardrobe doors before turning, "I'll prefer not to have to explain that right now. Are you hungry?"Anything to get away from whoever this was, I nodded, walking away from him into the bathroom; I stayed under the shower, letting the water run down my head, trailing every part of my body, while I tried not to shiver.They were too many guns; what else was he hiding in t
