LOGINMy fashion line was almost complete. I didn’t know how I was going to go about releasing it and how people were going to receive it. My reputation was still in the gutter, and my court date with Viktor was looming.Nero hired a publicist for me to try to clean up my image, but she also said I had to wait for the court case to happen. I wasn’t sure whether or not it would be won.I trusted Claire Sandoval, and I didn’t want to go to jail. She was the best lawyer in New York, and I hoped she would smoke Viktor in court.The trial was coming up soon, and there was nothing for me but to wait for it to happen and wait for the best. In the meantime, I was hiring models for a campaign to showcase my clothing and make sure it was sold.The fashion line was to honor my mother. She was a model, and she quit when my father became an important man in New York. She loved motherhood, but I knew she always wanted to be a designer.She was at times contacted by fashion designers to give her input on
Nero’s words only made me whimper and push my body into him. He drove me insane when he talked like that. I did belong to him. Even though we had our problems, no reality would exist without him in my life.If there was one, I didn’t want to live in it.“Look at your reflection in the window. You’re so eager to be stuffed with my cock, aren’t you?” He asked.When I didn’t answer, he slapped my breasts. It made me all the more aroused. If it wasn’t for the fact that my hands were tied behind my back, I would have already touched myself to release the tension I felt between my legs.I needed his mouth, his fingers, or his cock inside me badly. Even though he had already given me two orgasms, they were hardly enough when a man as hot and sexy as Nero was standing behind me, whispering about how he was going to fuck me.The thought that someone on the outside might have been watching us and getting off on it turned me on more than I liked to admit. I hated that I had such dirty thoughts,
Make-up sex sounded as good as it was. I knew it wasn’t wise to finish solving the issues in your marriage and immediately jump back into sex, but I couldn’t help myself.When Nero ran his hands up my thigh, I melted into his arms. Everything he was doing was nothing short of erotic. The best was that I was wearing a dress, and all it did was give him better access.When his hands reached the waistband of my panties, I didn’t flinch as he pulled them off me in one swift movement. He pushed me back to the couch, staring at me with hooded eyes. His gray eyes were dark as ever.He looked at me like I was a meal he couldn’t wait to taste. After almost two years together, the lust we felt for one another had yet to fade. It burned with a fire that always ignited whenever he touched my skin.With just one look, he ignited my body and made me feel as though I was burning. One touch completely unraveled me.“I have missed the taste of you so badly. I don’t think I’ll have my fill tonight.”He
I was in shock for a moment there. Nero looked like he was in so much pain that it was consuming him. Guilt was seeping through like he couldn’t contain it. It was like he had spent years pushing it back, and it was finally surfacing.I didn’t know what was going through his mind, but I knew he was replaying everything he’d done over and over again.“She was the first and only innocent person whose life I have taken. Her name was Daisy, and she inspired my first tattoo. I got it on my heart as a reminder that I was too selfish to prioritize her life over mine.”“Thinking back, my mother would have never killed me. I was the best son in terms of combat stats despite being the youngest. And I had good leadership skills and what she called manipulation tactics to make people trust me.”Once again, I was speechless, but I was also confused as to why she was a target. I empathized with Daisy and Nero. Both people were young, and they had their whole lives ahead of them. One lost theirs, an
“What did he do to her?” I asked.Nero paused, like he couldn’t believe he was getting into telling me what he was about to say. But I wasn’t backing out. I had seen the good, bad, and the ugly parts of Nero, and I loved him.He had also seen the good, bad, and ugly parts of me, and it didn’t stop us from accepting one another. His trauma as a result of someone’s actions would not make me see him as weak.To show him support and that he could trust me, I put my hand on top of his. He softened and looked at me with a lot of emotions swirling in his eyes. For the first time, I could read him like an open book.He stopped being guarded and hiding what he was feeling, and all I could see was pain.“He used to hit her all the time. He beat her until she passed out, and then he lied to us that she was away on a job while she was in the hospital. He hated her because he loved another woman and was forced to marry her.”“My father never stopped seeing the woman he was in love with when he mar
“What changed?” I asked him.“Excuse me?”“You said you were afraid that I would see a vulnerable part of you, and you didn’t want that. What changed?” I asked.“I love you, Serena. I realized too late that it was stupid of me to think like that.”His explanation made sense, and I obviously didn’t understand what it felt like to have a traumatic childhood. Mine was amazing. My parents took care of me and loved me more than anything.However, I knew that it wasn’t an excuse to be an asshole. But I was willing to listen to everything he had to say if he told me. I wanted to hear all about his childhood. I wanted to know the man I had pictured my entire life with.“Are you ready to tell me everything? I will not get married to a man whose history I don’t know. I don’t want to be with you if you can’t even tell me what’s going on in your life.”He looked unsure, but as soon as he looked at me, he nodded. I knew he didn’t want to lose me. I still wasn’t sure if the issue with his mother w
I didn’t know what to think. I was going crazy trying to figure out what Dante meant when he claimed I had enemies all around me. He made me more paranoid than I was before.He was in my living room reading a magazine with his feet on the table. He hadn’t left my side in a long time. At least when
I wanted to punish Viktor, but I didn’t want to make it obvious that it was me. Attacking him the same night he took Serena out on a date would be a stupid move. No. I wanted to wait.Viktor wasn’t that dumb. As soon as the night was over without Tally showing up, he packed up his things and got rea
The fashion show was amazing, and afterwards, I was introduced to several famous designers who were excited to read my article from the fashion show. The whole moment was surreal. But that wasn’t even the best part.I looked at a dress a little too long, and Nero bought it off the runway. It was a
The night turned out to be unexpected. Nico and I sat on chairs on my balcony smoking a joint. I don’t know how we ended up in that position, but we did. He told me all about Nero and the things he had done.I knew he was doing it because he wanted me to be turned off by Nero, or at the very least
