Wow...I totally didn’t see that coming...I blankly stared at the three of them, utterly dumbstruck for a couple of moments, not really knowing what to say or do.I actually almost forgot why I even came here in the first place...“Blake?” Luc’s voice suddenly pulled me out of my daze, noticing the faint hint of concern plastered on his features.“Hmm?” I mumbled, this time focusing solely on him.“Are you ok?” He asked, taking a step closer, gently brushing his fingers against my arm.“Yeah, sure. I’m fine,” I nodded, giving him a reassuring smile, then averted my gaze back to his siblings, Azrael, who was still intensely staring at me, that deep frown never leaving his beautiful features, seeming like he was trying to somehow figure me out while the other guy, Raphael, was busy scanning me up and down from head to toe, seemingly searching for any flaws.“Okay, enough with the-”“Blake!”Shit!Luc was abruptly cut off mid-sentence by my brother’s angered tone, the sound of my name be
After that short “pep-talk” in the bathroom we hurried back downstairs, entering the grand living room, only to find a young woman, looking around her early thirties and dressed as a maid, wiping clean a small glass coffee table.We approached her and as soon as she raised her sight, I greeted her with a warm smile.“Excuse me, ma’am but do you by any chance happen to know where the four “happy friends” left?” I nicely asked, also earning a small chuckle from Leila at my choice of calling them while the young woman simply smiled back.“Yes, they are currently sitting in the dining room. Come now,” She motioned for us to follow her,“Master instructed me to escort you there,” She explained, that warm smile still etched on her soft features.Master?? What the fuck? He’s asking his maids to call him master? What are we, in the early 1920′s?We followed her through the large hallway and as soon as we reached our destination, she opened the huge wooden doors for us, motioning for us to
Shit.“Blake, are you in there?” Rick’s angered slash worried tone rang from behind that door, making me slightly cringe, followed by the sound of the doorknob twisting.“Shit!” I muttered under my breath, already freaking out, squeezing my brains on how to get out of this nasty situation without anyone getting hurt.I know!The single logical solution popped in my mind, like a crazed person lightly nodding to myself in approval while Azrael stared at me like I’ve just escaped from a nuthouse.He wouldn’t dare to hurt Luc’s brother for this.Luc was the one who saved his baby sister, after all.“Blake, I know you’re in there, now open this damn door!”Shit!I have to hurry up.Without a single warning or explanation I pushed Azrael back against the desk then grabbed the sides of his shirt and in one, quick movement all the buttons flew open, revealing his muscular chest and swoon-worthy six-pack.“Hey! What are you-”“Shut up. You’ll thank me later,” I cut him off then grabbed the hem
That oddly familiar, fresh masculine scent engulfed my every sense, completely relaxing my body and mind, my eyelids slowly fluttering open, suddenly finding myself gazing into those deep blue irises, lovingly staring right back into mine, his perfect plump lips slightly curling up in a warm, affectionate smile, making my heart flutter in excitement.Wait, what? What the fuck is he doing in here?I suddenly jumped like a scaredy cat, falling off of the bed on the hard floor in the process with a loud thud, escaping a small shriek.Untangling the sheet covering my bare legs I slowly sat up and carefully peered on the bed, only to find no one there.What the hell? Now I’m imagining things?I shook my head, trying to clear my clouded mind then slowly got up, stretching my numb limbs.The events from last night kept replaying in my head, making it hard for me to fall asleep...I've been laying awake on that bed almost the entire night…I couldn’t even remember when I eventually did manage
“Okay guys, show’s over.”I stared up at Luc, watching him quickly drape his black dress jacket over my shoulders, covering my almost naked body from the guys' view.“Thank you,” I whispered in a small voice, giving him a light smile,“Now, can you please turn around?” I nicely asked though fidgeting in my spot a little bit uneasy, earning a confused stare from him and a raised brow so I pointed down to the floor, to the briefs pooling at my ankles.Following my pointing, he made an ‘o’ shape with his mouth in understanding, quickly turning around to give me some privacy, also covering me from the guys’ view at the same time so I hurried and dragged them back up my hips, then grabbed my mug and ran to sit on a stool at the counter to make sure they weren't going to fall off again.“Are you ok now?” I heard him ask so I gave a slow nod, keeping my gaze down to my mug, too embarrassed to even look at any of them after that awkward moment.“Good. Then after you finish your breakfast I’ll
BlakeAfter getting my only clothes washed and dried up, I dressed myself up and hurried downstairs where Raphael was already waiting, all fresh and dressed up, looking like the typical bad boy.He wore a plain white t-shirt and a leather jacket that hung perfectly on his broad shoulders, matching with his dark jeans and combat boots, perfectly complementing his slightly tanned skin.Damn...why do these guys have to look so hot?“Done checking me out?” He smirked, suddenly pulling me out of my daze.“Oh, shut up,” I muttered, rolling my eyes then hurriedly strode past him, hearing him chuckle from behind me.We exited the mansion then walked towards the alley and got in one of Luc’s SUV’s, him sitting in the driver’s seat and I in the front passenger seat, ultimately noticing no one else came to ride with us.“Wait, just the two of us?” I turned to face him, raising one eyebrow.“Yeah, why? Need the whole army to go shopping?” He chuckled, earning a scoff from me.“No, you dumbass,”
“Do you even realize what you’ve done?”“Oh, shut up already, Raz! Don’t give me that ‘ooh, I’m father’s most obedient, good child’ crap! You know it too damn well that you would’ve done the same thing if you were in my position!”“No! This was not supposed to happen! You know we are not allowed to interfere without permission!”“Raz, she gave her life to save mine! What was I supposed to do? Let her die there for nothing?”The faint sound of two distinct voices arguing kept ringing in my ears, harshly pressing against my skull, forcing a painful groan escape my lips and I tried to open my eyelids, only to be welcomed by a bright light, almost burning my retina.“Hey, guys, I think she’s waking up.”I could now hear a third voice say as I forcefully squinted my eyelids, trying to adjust my vision, noticing the outline of a person standing right in front of me.“How do you feel?Are you ok?Are you feeling any pain?”The masculine voice started shooting questions at me like a riffle, m
“Hey, Blake.”“Hey, wake up.”That same fresh masculine scent invaded my nostrils, relaxing all my senses, feeling the comforting warmth engulfing my body, my eyelids slowly fluttering open, meeting once again those piercing deep blue irises staring right back into mine.“Hey, are you ok?” His gentle, soothing tone pulled me back to reality, realizing I was being held in his strong arms, so close that I could feel his hot breath fanning on my face.The sudden realization of our close proximity made my cheeks burn, quickly remembering what Raph told me before I was shot.“Maybe he doesn’t know that yet but he likes you, Blake.”“I-I...”“Come on, let’s get you upstairs to get some rest.”He then placed an arm under my knees and got up from his kneeling position, cradling me close to his chest as I simply stared up at him, too lost for words.He gently carried me all the way upstairs to “my room” then placed me on the bed, so careful like he were afraid I would break.We stared at each
