Orange lights flickered above the ceiling of the restaurant where Hazel now worked, casting a yellow glow on the faces of the remaining customers in their small shop. It was already late evening, and through the glass windows you could spot people returning from work and various other destinations of the day’s activities.She sighed heavily as she lifted a tray of food, standing for more than six hours at a stretch had clearly taken a toll on her.

She dragged her feet away from the counter with a sigh of exhaustion as she begun to make her way to her next customer, plastering a dull smile on her face yet again.

"Here is your order sir." She managed to say, placing it hastily on the counter with a tight lipped smile, not in the slightest bothering to meet his eye as she hurried back behind the counter. Her shift had ended afterall, her feet ached and her back throbbed unbearably. Her limbs felt like they will slack and her whole body give up into exhaustion any moment. Yet she knew sh

    Luca Rossi Honey colored eyes. They continued to torment his every thought, haunt his every imagination.Her honey colored eyes never truly left his mind.

    She looks exhausted. He watched her, how she lifted her forearm to wipe the traces of sweat on her forehead and swipe a stray strand of her brown hair to the side. Red tee shirt tucked loosely into her dark jeans, she looked frail. Thin, worn out. His heart ached; was this the kind of life losing her job with the Rogers has subjected her to?Working late hours? Luca had never really been a frequent in this side of town, infact, it was his very first time here. It smelled of sauce, street food and crime. He was in a simple dark shirt and dark jeans this time around, hoping not to magnet any attention or troublemakers. He couldn't be seen here. Yet, he was here, for her, for her safety. Whatever it was Luke felt was going to threaten her safety tonight, he needed to be there to make sure it doesn't come remotely close to happening.

    The walk up the stairs was a very long and tiring one. Several times she had swayed or stumbled, and he would have to hold unto her to stop her from falling, muttering soothing words all along. His touch was oddly warm, it felt tingly too, like sparks against her skin. She tried her hardest to ignore it, although all she wanted to do was succumb into his embrace and let his warm scent engulf her. They arrived at the door to her small apartment, and with a deep sigh, a pause and a silent prayer, she lifted her hand, knocking on the door. Luca stood firmly behind her, he could see she was nervous. Ye stared around, at anywhere else but her. The dirty brown tiles that were broken and cracked in many spots in the long hallway of doors. The door swung open forcefully, and a short elderly woman peeked at them, eyes full of worry and surprise. "Hazel... Where have you been?" She gasped, her worried eyes scanning her frightfully.Hazel heaved, forcing a tight lipped smile."Sorry I am late G

    Hazel shuffled around awkwardly as her grandmother led Luca's tall frame to a sofa in the living room. Their house was not a big one, yet it was small, comfortable and smelt of a floral air freshener Hazel made sure to hang sure in the corner. It was clean as always, and standing there knowing it couldn't compare even a fraction to the mansion he was used to, she was oddly not worried about what he thought of her small space. "You have a beautiful home, ma'am." Luca commended with a small smile. Hazel's grandson beamed. "Thank you, son." She turned sharply to Hazel... "Ah, Hazel, I had almost forgotten about you, please seat down. Are you hurting?"Hazel smiled weakly, shaking her head. "I think I am fine.""She might need some pain killers, and perhaps a cold compress." Luca stated. "That is true, Hazel. Seat down, now." Her grandma ordered, shooing her into a seat in the living room. Luca watched with an awkward smile, rubbing his chin lightly as her grandmother left them both

    The walk to Lucas' car is silent. The cold night breeze washed over the both of them. Luca tucks his hands into his pocket, and Hazel rubs her arms with both hands, lowering her head and biting her lower lip nervously. They approach his car successfully, he inserts the key, unlocking the door before turning to her. He stares down at her for a moment, she is staring up at him too, her brows slightly furrowed, and he is happy seeing her anything but defiant this time. She looks... Worried? She bit her lower lip, he swallowed, watching her release the plump lip, his eyes lifted back to her eyes and a deep blush appeared upon her rosy cheeks. He smiled inwardly. She brushed strands of hair away from her hair, clearing her throat. "Thank you."He raised a brow, staring to the left and then back at her. "Thank you? For?"She gave him a look, rolling her eyes. "Thank you for saving me Mr. Rossi.""You can call me look Luca." He murmured. "That is not necessary Mr. Rossi." She shook her

    "He did what?" Anna spun on her foot like a ballet, turning to face her friend Hazel with a look of disbelief in her eyes. She blinked at her, unable to believe the gist filling her ears.Hazel nodded her head softly, flipping the egg in the pan on the stove. Anna had come over this morning for breakfast, and her friend was spilling some irresistible tea already.Anna shook her head, her face housing a wide grin. "So you're telling me... Lucas Rossi was here in this house, and he saved you from an attack, rode you in his car, and even met your grandmother?" She walked over to Hazel, eyes it up like torches in some sort of second hand happiness and excitement over it all.Hazel scoffed, unable to understand why her friend seemed so excited about it all. She had asked this over and over again, and each time she affirmed, her friend would let out and excited squeal with she was unwilling to hear again. "For the fifth time, yes." She groaned out.Anna shook her head in disbelief once more

    Luca stared up at Hazel. Her honey colored eyes held a great deal of surprise, but there was no trace of anger, so he felt his formerly tense nature dwindle slightly. He closed the magazine in his hands, placing it flat on the table. "What are you doing here?" Hazel questioned, brows still raised. She stared at him, his dark hair was slightly tousled and a certain kind of tiredness made his formerly bright blue eyes seem dull. She couldn't explain it, but there was a squeezing feeling in her chest as she continued to stare at him, almost like... Almost like she was happy to see him. She has found it difficult not to think of him ever since, but she had been determined to try, and now, he was seating right here before her, like she was in a trance, once again imagining meeting him.He cleared his throat lightly, turning his head away for a moment. "It's a restaurant." He shrugged.Her brows furrowed ad she glared at him. Hazel resisted a brewing urge to roll her eyes at this man. Th

    When Anna was done curling, styling and packing her hair, she let Hazel look in the mirror. She had done a very light make up on her, only because she severally protested that it be so. And looking in the mirror, she did not regret that choice. "I look...""Stunning." Anna completed, smiling in satisfaction as she stared back at her in the mirror. Hazel smiled, a blush rising her cheeks. A small chuckle left her lips and she shook her head a little, as if she did not believe she could truly look this pretty. It almost looked like she wasn't just some common servant turned waitress in a restaurant.Anna placed her hand on her shoulders, rubbing them in reassurance. "You look stunning, Hazel."Hazel grinned, a blush tinting her formerly pale cheeks. "For once, I actually think I do."Anna threw her head back, blonde hair falling out of their messy bun as she laughed. "I am glad you do, now, let me get you into a pair of comfortable shoes."She walked over to an organizer full of sever

Luca was seated in a corner of the room, food and water hand not touched his moth since his wife went missing.They were begining to fear for his wellbeing. His eyes were droopy and he was barely talking to anyone. He seemed so out of touch with his current surroundings. So much that they all feared he was already losing his mind. He would not talk at all when spoken to and any food brought before him was quickly pushed or kicked away. They learned to leave him be for a while. "Will he be okay?"

    When Hazel's eyes finally fluttered open, she woke up in her bed in her and Luca's room. Rays of sunlight were seeping in through her window and strangely enough, all the pain she felt from the night before was gone.The memories came rushing to her like a speeding train and her eyes widened in memory of it all. "Hazel... Are you okay?" She turned her head quickly to see Luca standing by the foot of the bed. His eyes were reddish, his hair entirely rough. He still had his clothes in from last night, stained by dirt and dust, and even a smear of blood. She stared at him with cold eyes, feeling bile rise in the back of her throat. Luca walked towards her cautiously with worried eyes, reaching for her face with his fingers. "Hazel are you okay?" He asked again. "Do not touch me." She snapped, flinching away. Luca's eyes widened, and he took a step back, watching her cautiously. "I am sorry I did not mean...""To lie to me?" She seethed, glaring daggers at him. Luca stared at he

    Hazel sat on the edge of the bed that night with the book in her hands and her elbows leaning against her thighs.She knew not what to do with this piece of information, what was all these implying?She turned to Luca on the bed where he lay still, breathing softly. His chest rising and falling. He looked so at peace.His long lashes were fluttered closed and his hand was resting upon his chest, which rose and fell in a peaceful state. What was the writer implying? What did the wolf things mean? Is Luca some sort of.... Shape shifter?That is not even possible that is the kind of stuff that happens in fairy tales and folklore. There is simply absolutely no way in heavens any of it could be real. Right?Hazel remembered the second paragraph of the damned note again.

    They had both entered the shower together after they had both had their fill of each other. He washed her with his hands. She felt pretty sore down there and she could barely stand on her own.He had prepared a bath for her by himself and carried her from the bed gently, she was already very tired and sleepy. How could she not be? She had had two more orgasms when he slipped into her. Her legs were weak and the area between her legs was sore from the size and action of his member inside her. She enjoyed every moment of it no doubt, she was quite sure she would be ready for another pretty soon. Luca circled her with his arms and pressed a kiss against her forehead. They were both sweaty and in need of a shower so he carried her to the bat tub he had already prepared, gently laying her in the water. He entered behind her and they both soaked in the bubble bath. He begun to wash her body for her not long later. She closed her eyes, enjoying the sensations of his hand against he

    His lips enclosed around her nipples and she moaned, tangling her fingers into his hair. His fingers found there way to her panties again, parting it and sliding into her lower lips. He pumped his fingers in and out sensually, while his lips continued their suckle around her breasts. Whimpers and moans continued to escape her lips continually. The sound of her pleasure filling the room as she drew closer closer to her climax. Luca pulled away for a brief moment to admire the look of sheer pleasure on her face. He moved his fingers faster and her grip around him tightened, her moans increasing. "Yes... Please don't stop..." She pleaded. Luca smiled, he no intentions of stopping at all. He was enjoying this too, almost as much as she was. The look on her face, the sounds eliciting her lips, all of it was a perfect combination to drive him mad.
