Maya's pov My breath hitches from how serious he sounds, sending heat down my core. God if he only knew how much I needed this. I don't waste time taking my top off and my breasts drop since I don't have a brah. I follow with my pants and underwear the whole time never breaking his gaze. His eyes darken with each movement his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.I stand from the bed walking up to where he stands. “You've been a bad girl,” he says, his hand trailing my cleavage and stopping to massage my right breast in a way that makes strength seep from my legs.His other hand goes to my ass smoothening the flesh before placing a huge slap on it. My whole body shivers from the sting and I clutch his jacket.He connects his lips with mine and my hand goes to his pants pockets undoing the belt. I pull the trousers plus the briefs down and his member stands straight. Long and beautiful. He watches me silently as I stroke it up and down.My knees find the ground and I squeeze him one more
Cassian's pov“I thought I told you never to come back here,” I mumble looking at Holden outside the gate with a couple of men.“And I told you I would come to get my revenge,” he says, making my brows furrow.I laugh through the intercom. “What? You have come to drive me out of power with your merry men?”“Yes and you will give it to me 'cause it's mine,” he says, showing me a piece of paper.I roll my eyes. “And what might that be?” I ask nonchalantly.“A piece of paper detailing that when I reach thirty-five everything should be given to me.”“Another fact you're illegitimate Holden, you're not Anthony's son so none of it belongs to you.”He looks at Matteo who only sighs. “Pack your things and leave. We are giving you the pleasure of walking out with your life,” he says arrogantly.I knew something like this would happen. Of course, this dirty bag would be the one to pull this kind of crap.“Make no mistake, Matteo, I'm the leader and I'm above all of you.”A wide grin spreads on
Maya's povHe parks the car outside a huge building that I presume is a hotel. “I thought we were going to one of your houses,” I mumble, not seeing how we can be safe here.“It's just for a little while,” he says, his eyes holding something that looks like guilt.“What?”“Let's go,” he says, placing the cap and scarf around my head that he got from the gas station. He books a room and helps me settle in.“Are you going somewhere?” I ask when he disappears into the shower and comes back in a suit and something feels wrong.“Yeah, I'll be out for a while.”My breath hitches. “You're leaving me?”His features soften. “I won't be gone for long. I've ordered food for you and it should be arriving any minute now,” he says looking at his watch. “And otherwise don't open the door for anyone.”My chest tightens as I watch him leave and I bite down on my tongue trying not to call out to him as he goes till I feel the metallic taste of blood in my mouth.I blink rapidly a few times looking at t
Maya's povThe car moves steadily over the highway, a huge contrast to how I feel inside. The turmoil I feel inside increases with each second and I don't know what to do about it. Cassian sent someone to kill me. He sent someone after my life.I remember that name. Sevan. It's his informant I'm not wrong.After everything that I did for him. Risked my license, my life, my love for him and this is how he repays me. And yet I can't stop myself from wondering how he is.“Are you okay?” Giovanni asks, looking at me with sad eyes. I swallow the lump in my throat barely able to form words.“Why do you care?” I ask the bitterness seeping from inside me into the cramped space we're in. He huffs his lower lip almost curling into a pout.“Maya, you don't look fine,” he persists.“You don't know me,” I snapped. “You don't know anything about me yet you have been judging me from the moment you laid eyes on me.”“I'm sorry,” he says as if it will make anything better.I chuckle wiping angrily at
Cassian's pov“How did it go?” I asked, pacing around the garage.“Good,” he simply answers. “Elaborate,” I snap through gritted teeth.“I just killed several police officers and I think Maya recognized me.”I sigh in relief. I need her to know she knows where she is.“Does she think it's me?” I ask making sure everything falls in place.“I don't know if she knows me but her eyes widened when she saw me. I did my part now let my family go.”I roll my eyes. “The jet and the new identities are ready for you.”He doesn't hesitate hanging up and I let out a shaky breath. I send a quick text to my men asking them to release the family and come back to base.“Leo, wait,” I called as he tried to get into one of the cars without talking to me. He turns around his face set.“Yes sir.”I look at him, and he barely meets my eyes. “Is something wrong?” I ask despite knowing what is disturbing him.He huffs. “No, why do you presume that?”“One from your attitude.”He looks at the gate. “I wouldn'
Maya's pov“Let's go,” Giovanni says, coming in with a set of keys. He removes the cuffs pushing me forward.“Can I get some shoes?” I ask the cold floor biting at my skin. He gives me a bored look leading me to one of the female employees.“Do you have any shoes you can spare?” He asks.The brown girl looks at me from head to toe then moves to her desk where she removes some Dr Martins. “If those don't fit that's your problem.”I grimace at the thought of wearing someone's shoes but they look clean and it's not like I have an option. I slide them on and they fit perfectly.“Where are you taking me?” I ask as he presses the elevator door open. His hand still firmly tucked on my bicep.“I'd advise you to keep quiet,” he spits and I roll my eyes.“I deserve to know where I'm going if it's not back to my house.”He chuckles, bringing his face closer to mine. “If you haven't noticed this yet, you are never going back to your old life,” he says, his tone making a shiver run down my spine.
Cassian's povI chew down on my lip as Holden sits next to me. I don't know what to talk about first, the fact that the feds have Maya or what the fuck he is doing kissing my wife.“What is your relationship with Maya?” I ask, my fingers tightening against the steering wheel.He looks at me, confusion etching on his face. “What do you mean?” He asks, trying to play dumb.I press on the brakes. “Stop playing stupid with me Holden I know you are seeing her.”His lips fall open. “What, How?”I scoff. “I have photos of you shoving your tongue down her throat and messaging her like a damn fool when you went in front of my face and told me we are done with her.”His face darkens. “Guess we're both liars.”My brows furrow. “What the fuck does that mean?”He shakes his head. “What are you keeping from me?”“I'm not keeping anything from you.”His eyebrows perk. “Really, so everything you're doing I know.”“Stop beating around the bush and just come out with it.”“I know one of us is not Dad's
Maya's pov“For what?” I ask my eyes wide from shock.“You and your things are coming with us,” the redhead says motioning two of his men to grab me, while the other ones raided my apartment.“No…why?”They approach me. “What? Stop I didn't do anything wrong,” I shout apprehension clawing at my skin.This is insane. I haven't committed any crime.“We will decide that,” the man says as they grab me pulling me towards the door.God this cannot be happening. “I swear, I didn't do anything,” I choke looking at the man on the left.He barely meets my eyes as he pulls me down the stairs. I'm wearing shorts and I'm barefooted. “Please,” I cry trying to wiggle out of their hold.“Ma'am it would be better if you didn't resist,” the other says pulling me to the black Sedan parked just outside. “Then let go of me, I didn't do anything,” I repeat but they open the door shoving me inside. Two men sit next to me and the car starts moving. I look at the apartment tears rolling down my cheeks. This
Cassian's povI dialed Sevan's line a few hours ago asking him to find any information the cops might have on me or Maya and he said he found something but couldn't say over the phone. I watch from the car as he places down a brown package the hat perched on his head casual brown trousers and a red shirt making him look inconspicuous among the crowd. He nods and I walk to the bench picking it up and heading back to the car.I unseal it my fingers twitching with anticipation. Pictures fill it and I look at the pictures and they are all about Maya. As she goes to work, inside her apartment, bank statements and worse of all, her kissing Holden.The fuck!She kissed Holden and the feds, they are onto her. My heart races as I dial his burner phone.“How long have they been watching her?” I ask my heart pounding. “Almost four months,” he answers nonchalantly and my fist clenches.“Aren't you supposed to tell me when something like this is going on?” I ask my hands trembling from anger.He
