I woke up to snow outside my windows. I would be happy if it weren't for my shivering body. This place has almost no heating. I throw my robe on over top of my pajamas and head downstairs.

There is an unfamiliar silence in the penthouse. I look outside to find the roads still white. I quickly read in the news that the blizzard happened without any warning, and majority of the plows are snowed in.

As I get out a mug to prepare myself a hot coffee, I hear footsteps echo the stairway.

  • LOVE ME OR BURN   CHAPTER 12:DANGEROUS DISTRACTION

    ~Liam's POV~I woke up thinking about her.I can't get her out of my head. I thought the Italy trip would take care of it, but every night I found myself up lost in thoughts about her.I keep thinking back to the moment in the gym.Her white hair was in the way of her gorgeous face. I watched her nipples harden so quickly.God I wish that sports bra wasn't blocking my view. I got to finally touch her beautiful light skin when I grabbed onto her thighs.I hope she wasn't scared of it. I know her body reacted with pleasure, but I have no way of knowing what was in that mind of hers.She doesn't deserve to be stuck with a monster like me.I get out of bed and head to the gym. I need to blast some music so she doesn't wrack my thoughts again.I find myself looking at the bench where I sat with her. I haven't seen her since then. She's still asleep. It's cute how angry she gets in the mornings. I had to stop myself from peaking into her room and looking at her peaceful slumber.Nara is dr

  • LOVE ME OR BURN   CHAPTER 11:PLAYING WITH FIRE

    I roll my eyes, "Don't bruise my face."I square up to him."No promises."I block his first hit, but then he lands one on my shoulder. It hurts more than usual. I only land one hit before he has me on my ass with three quick punches."Get up."I groan, "You already beat me!""Best of three."He holds out his hand and quickly helps me up.When we start the second round, I fake him out with a couple punches and land a kick to his waist like Nathaniel taught me. He's a little surprised."You've been training, haven't you?"I nod.He once again surprises me by kicking my shoulder. I fall back into the ropes. I didn't even think he could get his leg that high, and I think it might go higher.When I recover, he once again does a bunch of quick jabs and trips me up. He's already won, yet he still wants to do one more. I don't appreciate this fucked up pity.This time I focus on defense blocking all of the throws. I can't put a pin on his style of fighting.It's fast like martial arts, but i

  • LOVE ME OR BURN   CHAPTER 10:CROSSING THE LINE

    The past week felt like I've in limbo.Liam and Mr. Luca left on a trip to Italy, so I was left with Bruno, Leon, and Nathaniel . I spent most of my time training with Nathaniel . I even learned how to spin the knife, though he still laughs when I do it.Killian has spent the entire week cleaning up after the murder. The guy had connections none of us could've known about.My anxiety kept me focused on my situation with Liam. I keep thinking he is with another girl. I've been side by side with him since we met, and he hasn't gotten any action.Today is my first time going to the Italian warehouse because Nathaniel needs to double check the inventory. We drive down an alley to the docks. This place seems too perfect for drug deals. The space is open, but there is no sight of it to the neighboring streets. He parks the car facing the bay. When I get out, I can smell every dead fish in the body of water.He leads me inside the roll up door. There are a few people around, some that I eve

  • LOVE ME OR BURN   Chapter 9:LINES YOU SHOULDN’T CROSS

    He places his hand on the lower part of his neck.“This is the cervical plexus.” He removes his hand. “It’s the most common spot people aim for. But if your opponent is as tall as I am, that won’t do much good for you.”“Right?”I nod.“There are two other plexuses you can aim for.”He points to his shoulder area and then above his hips.“If you aim for these first, the opponent will bend down to deal with the pain. That’s when you strike the neck.”This is way more useful than I expected. I’m surprised he knows all of this.“The reason I’m not going to let you try it on me,” he continues, “is because there’s a very high chance you could paralyze your opponent if you hit these nerves. Each hit raises the chances until they actually do get paralyzed.”“So this could just end a fight?” I ask.“Yep.”He signals for me to come closer.“So if you were aiming for this one, what would you do?”He points to his waist again.I aim for his hip with the bottom of my left foot, but he quickly tak

Nathaniel greeted me in the kitchen. He is wearing heavy of pajamas too."Why is it so damn cold here?!""Cause the power is off?"I take a look at my dark surroundings. The natural light is misleading."Oh...""It should be fixed in a few hours. The entire block is out.""What the hell am I supposed to do? I can't even light a fire."He sighed a bit."Well it's days like these that we usually do training. You're welcome to join us if you'd like.""Why the hesitation?" I smirk."It just gets a bit rough in

  • LOVE ME OR BURN   Chapter 8: Safe in His Arms

    Everyone on their side begins discussing things among themselves while we remain quiet.Killian isn’t included in their conversation.He leans forward, his hands resting behind his head. The tension in his posture tells me this must be stressful for him.Finally, Killian speaks quietly.“He’s right…”None of the men beside him hear him.“What?” one of them asks.Killian lowers his hands and looks up.“I said he’s right,” he repeats.His men look confused.“I’m twenty years old. I’ve only been involved in this life for half of that. I’m not ready for this…” He pauses before glancing at me. “And I know Nara isn’t either.”Silence falls over them.I think the truth they had been avoiding has finally found them.A strange sense of safety washes over me. I’m not sure if it’s because Liam is standing beside me or because Killian doesn’t want to hurt me.Maybe it’s both.“We understand this is a large offer,” Mr. Luca says calmly, “so we are willing to give you a few days to think it over.”
