CHAPTER 39

SALVATORE POV

Lena's hands stayed on my side with steady pressure.

The towel pressed firm against the stitched wound. Blood had slowed to barely a trickle, but her fingers still trembled every time they brushed my skin. I sat on the edge of the desk in my office, shirt open, watching her work without looking away. The doctor had left after I threatened him. Only her hands would do tonight.

  • Obsessed with my Beautiful Enemy    The words Unspoken

    CHAPTER 39 SALVATORE POVLena's hands stayed on my side with steady pressure.The towel pressed firm against the stitched wound. Blood had slowed to barely a trickle, but her fingers still trembled every time they brushed my skin. I sat on the edge of the desk in my office, shirt open, watching her work without looking away. The doctor had left after I threatened him. Only her hands would do tonight."You should have let him finish," she said, her voice low and careful. She wiped the last traces of blood from my ribs. "This could get infected. You're stubborn as hell."I caught her wrist, holding it against my chest so she could feel my heartbeat. Her pulse jumped under my fingers. "I wanted yours. Only yours. Feel that? Your hands are shaking on me. That does more than stitches ever could."Lena met my eyes directly. "You like it too much. Me worrying. Me touching you while you bleed. After the ambush, after the party where you removed that man for me, you still push. Why?""Because

  • Obsessed with my Beautiful Enemy    The Wound

    CHAPTER 38LENA POVI kept the towel pressed against Salvatore's side carefully.Blood still seeped slowly around the edges of the cloth. My hands wouldn't stop shaking no matter how hard I tried to steady them. The room felt too warm, too small with just us in it now. Door closed. The doctor waiting outside ."Hold this," I said, switching to a fresh towel. My fingers brushed his bare skin again. Hot. Rough from old scars that mapped out his history. I tried to focus on the wound, on stopping the bleeding, but my concentration kept splitting. The way his chest rose and fell beneath my palm. The solid reality of him alive.Salvatore didn't flinch at all. His eyes stayed locked on my face like I was the only thing worth watching. "You're still here. Still touching me like this.""Someone has to." I wiped away fresh blood that wouldn't stop coming. "You refused the doctor. Now deal with my hands instead of his. Stop staring and breathe normal."He let out a low sound, almost a laugh tha

    CHAPTER 37 SALVATORE POVThe doctor was talking about something important.I knew he was. His mouth was moving. Charlie was standing beside him. Diego was somewhere near the door. But I wasn't listening to any of them because I was watching Lena instead.She stood across the room with her arms folded tightly against her chest. Angry. Worried. Trying very hard to pretend she was neither of those things.Unfortunately for her, I had become very good at reading the truth written across her face."Boss." The doctor's voice cut through my thoughts finally."You need stitches.""I've had worse."The man looked ready to quit his profession entirely.Charlie pinched the bridge of his nose. "That's not an argument.""It is if I'm still standing."Diego snorted from near the door. "You're barely standing."I ignored him completely.Lena rolled her eyes. "You are impossible."A strange feeling settled in my chest at those words. Because she sounded relieved. Relieved that I was conscious enough

  • Obsessed with my Beautiful Enemy    The morning After

    CHAPTER 36 LENA POVFor the first time since arriving on the island, I woke up smiling.The realization hit me before I even opened my eyes properly. A smile. A real one. Not forced. Not something I wore so Matteo wouldn't worry or the staff wouldn't talk. A genuine smile I couldn't control.Which was ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.Because my life was still a complete mess. I was living on a private island owned by one of the most feared men in Europe. The same man who had ruined my wedding. Kidnapped me. Turned my entire world upside down without permission.And somehow he was also the reason I woke up happy.I groaned and buried my face in the pillow, hating myself for it. Pathetic. Everything about this was pathetic.Yet no matter how hard I tried to resist, I couldn't stop replaying yesterday. The party. The drive home. The way he looked at me when he thought I wasn't paying attention. The way he'd admitted he wanted me to stay. Not as a prisoner. Not as leverage. Just stay.

    CHAPTER 35 SALVATORE POVWe left the yacht without another word to anyone.I kept my arm around Lena's waist until we reached the car. The driver opened the door. I helped her in first, then slid in beside her. The door shut and the engine hummed to life. The lights of the dock faded behind us as we pulled away.Lena stared out the window, her fingers still touching the spot on her waist where my hand had been. "You really removed that man tonight. In front of everyone. Zero hesitation.""He earned it." I loosened my tie carefully. "He wanted a reaction. He got one."She turned to me directly. "And what about me? Every time you do that, it makes me more of a target. Those women tonight, the men staring, they all see it now. I'm the thing you'll kill for. That's a bullseye painted on my back."I watched her profile in the passing lights from the road. "You think I enjoy putting you in that position? I should have left you on the island. Safe. Out of sight. But I can't anymore. After t

    CHAPTER 34 LENA POVSalvatore's hand closed around my wrist the second the rival disappeared down the gangway.He pulled me away from the main deck without a word, down a narrow hallway inside the yacht. The door shut behind us, cutting off the music and voices from the party.He turned me to face him, his eyes scanning my face and arms carefully. "Did he touch you? Say anything else before I got there?""I'm fine," I said, pulling my wrist free. My heart still raced from the adrenaline. "You didn't have to drag me off like that. Everyone saw.""I don't care what they saw." He stepped closer, his voice low. "He insulted you in front of the whole room. Called you a stolen warm body. I need to know if you're okay."I backed up until my shoulders hit the wall hard. "Okay? You just had a man removed permanently because he ran his mouth. That's not protection, Salvatore. That's you losing control in front of everyone who matters."His jaw tightened visibly. "He provoked me on purpose. Th
