Salvatore

I’d managed to shoot the attacker and caught Jade before his body hit the floor. I watched in horror as his eyes fluttered before closing completely.

“This can’t be happening right now,” I muttered under my breath. I laid him out on the passenger seat then pulled out my phone and rang Luca, my right hand man. “I’m sending you my location. Clean up the entire place. I think the other masked guy is still alive. Stitch him up then bring him in for questioning.”

I hung up and stepped over my dead driver to get into his seat. I’ll have to send news to his family and give them compensation. For now, my priority was making sure Jade survived. If he was going to die I’d rather it be by my hand.

I rang my doctor next and told him to meet me in my house. I couldn’t take Jade to the hospital, it was going to result in a lot of paperwork and questions. I tried to stay away from the public eye as much as I could. The last thing I needed was a full blown investigation.

  • No saint for the sinner   hands that drag you to hell

    JadeI didn’t look back. The moment the lights flickered and the hallway dipped into darkness, I bolted. My feet slapped against the cold marble, breath tearing out of my chest in sharp bursts.I’d barely changed out of clothes when my phone pinged and I saw the news article that had been written about me. For a moment I couldn’t breathe. The words blurred, then sharpened, like they wanted to carve themselves into my skin. My stomach twisted violently, shame crawling up my throat like poison. I kept scrolling even though it hurt. A picture of me bent over and cleaning the table, flashed across the page. My expression was blank, eyes lowered. The comments were worse.“Rich boy gone pathetic.”“Salvatore keeps him like a dog.”“He’s not a lover—he’s a slave.”My pulse hammered so hard I felt dizzy. It wasn’t just humiliation, it was betrayal. Salvatore did it. He exposed me. He wanted the world to see what he had reduced me to. A choking pressure burned behind my eyes. The air fel

  • No saint for the sinner   dinner with the enemy

    SalvatoreI couldn’t tell why my chest got tighter every time I let myself steal a glance at Jade. His face was blank, his lips drawn into a straight line. I hated that I could never tell what he was thinking.It was like he shut me off from his world. Rightfully so.“How does your back feel?” I tried to strike a conversation with him for the thousandth time, only to be met with the one-word answers he had been giving me all evening.“Fine.”I cleared my throat and tried again. “Mathilda told me you had a fever. I was busy with work so I couldn’t check on you myself.”He didn’t bother with an answer this time. I turned to the window and looked at the passing night life. Colored lights bounced off the glass as the car sped down the road. I tried to focus on the dinner I was about to have with Leonardo and his family.The council had claimed that the union between our families would ensure that we remain allies which will in turn ensure peace and stability between the four districts.

  • No saint for the sinner   stalker who?

    JadeSomething cold slithered across my forehead, pulling me out of the void I had been immersed in. Then there was weight—a heavy, dragging weight on my chest that made breathing thick and painful.Then I heard it. A slow, delicate hiss. My eyes snapped open.Darkness. Absolute. Except for a thin ribbon of moonlight leaking in from the open curtains, slicing through the black like a knife. Where was I? And what had made that sound? The walls were not beige and void of life like the room Salvatore had assigned to me. “Is anyone there?” I called softly but there was no response. I stood up, only to be met with excruciating pain. My back felt like someone had pierced an object through it and twisted said object until I couldn’t feel the other parts of my body. I laid back on the bed. Even something as simple as sitting up felt like I was being dragged through hell. The last thing I remembered was the shoot out and trying to get out of the car. What if the attackers had captured me

  • No saint for the sinner   I’ll save you once

    JadeThe voices in the room settled into an uncomfortable buzz at the back of my mind. My knees were starting to hurt from being pressed into the cold tiles for so long, I knew for sure they were going to bruise.I flinched when Salvatore turned to me, my hand going to my cheek. There was an unreadable expression on his face when he registered the movement. “Can I use the bathroom?” I asked him in a monotone voice. “I need to take permission for that too. Don’t I?”“Sure,” he answered through gritted teeth. “Do whatever you want. But don’t think this is a chance for you to escape. The entire building is heavily guarded.”I glared at him as I stood up. My legs had turned into jelly from kneeling for so long which made me momentarily lose balance and fall into his lap. “I…I’m sorry,” I muttered, scrambling to get up only for him to pull me back down.“So impatient,” he said close to my ear, ignoring everyone in the room with their eyes glued to us. “We’ll be done in a couple minutes,

  • No saint for the sinner   turn the other cheek

    SalvatoreMy favorite thing about my wife was how his body had an immediate response to whatever I did. Right now, his cheeks were a dark red, like I’d rubbed his blood on them. I couldn’t tell if it was from embarrassment or because he was turned on—maybe both.“That’s not true,” he stuttered, refusing to meet my eyes. “Everyone leave the kitchen.” I waited till they were gone to grab his dick through the thin fabric of his dress. “You should look at me when you speak.”He raised his eyes slowly to me. “Can…I…don’t…”“Don’t want to do what?” I couldn’t hold back my smile, I loved the way he got all fluttered whenever I confronted him. “I won’t understand what you’re saying if you don’t make a proper sentence. But, not to worry…” I pushed up against his little frame. “I know exactly what your body needs.”“Salvatore…”It had to be the pleading tone he used whenever he said my name—it sounded more like a breath than a word, or the aching yearning veiled beneath his gaze slipping throu
