STEIN

I really didn't know the paparazzi would camp out there, but they did me a favour by showing up like annoying flies. I had planned, before they helped out, to lure Kai to the house by tagging it as protecting him. It was just my luck that they showed up out of nowhere.

“How's it?” I asked Kai, who was practically playing with his food instead of eating.

“It's okay.” He nodded.

Our son was done with dinner. I made porridge for him, and he ate it all up. He was currently munching on the

    He shook his head. “There's no one, Kai. You're the only one I'm attracted to. Hell, I don't even know if I'm gay!”I drew a step back. “So you were watching straight porn?” My face fell. I really didn't like how my heart squeezed. “Does that mean you never liked me? You were with me because…” My lips shook. “That's not true.” He placed his hands on my shoulders, but I shrugged him off. “I haven't even been attracted to a woman before! You're the only I've ever had feelings for.”“But you're straight.”“I'm not.”“Then you're gay?”“For you.” He tried touching me, but I drew another step back. “Kai —”“Then why are you rejecting me?” “Because you're not in your right senses!” I narrowed my eyes. “Not in my right senses? I'm just offering my body in exchange for my request. Isn't that a good trade? Are you afraid that it would only be a one-time sex? We can do it until Friday. I won't even complain if you fuck me until I can't raise from the bed.” “But —”I raised my hand. “Is the

  • Shadows Of Obsession: The Stalker's Prey   You want my body, right?

    EDWARD: Can we meet? It's urgent, sir.I sent a response immediately, with my heart slamming against my ribcage. I was both nervous and relieved. KAI: Are you okay? I've been trying to reach you for a week now. Is everything good over there?I leaned back when I saw the three bubbles before I got his response. EDWARD: I'll tell you everything when we meet. Meet me at my old house this Sunday. That'll work, right?KAI: Yes. Time?EDWARD: Afternoon. KAI: OkayEDWARD: Until then. KAI: Can I call you?I didn't care that the text sounded desperate. I hadn't heard his voice in over a week. He didn't respond, so I tried calling and was redirected to voicemail once more. Wait a damned minute. Did he switch his phone off after receiving my last text? Why?Groaning, I tossed the phone on the table and tried not to panic. He was okay. That was all that mattered. Stein showed up almost immediately. “I apologise for losing it,” he said as he sat down. His eyes were now puffy and red. I had

  • Shadows Of Obsession: The Stalker's Prey   Emotional manipulation?

    KAII had been trying Edward's number for a week now, but hadn't gotten a hold of him, which was suspicious. I never once thought about the possibility that he ran after everything went south because I knew the kind of man he was. Edward wasn't the type to run and leave me. He would always stand and try to fight at least before things got overwhelming, which was why his silence didn't sit well with me. I couldn't possibly step out to look for him because Stein wouldn't let me. Mary still insisted we stayed in hiding because things weren't easing at all. And we still hadn't been able to connect with the Internet. For a week, the only faces I saw were Stein's and Lukas'. I was even almost bored with seeing them all the damned time. This was the most uncomfortable week for me. I couldn't work because of the poor Internet, and spent most of my time either with Lukas or in the Gym. My relationship with Stein was still bad. I couldn't get those words he said to me out of my damned head.

  • Shadows Of Obsession: The Stalker's Prey   Do you still care about him?

    The smile on my face wiped out instantly. “Kai —”He picked up his fork. “Was I wrong?” He took another bite of the steak. “You really don't need to please me, seeing I'm only a leech.” He chewed the steak slowly, while holding my gaze.My heart squeezed. “That's not true. I've never seen you as one.”“Are you full already, Lukas?” He asked our son, ignoring me. “Yes.” Lukas smiled, and Kai chuckled. I clenched my fists so tight. Why the fuck was he getting a smile from Kai when I hadn't seen that since today????“Good boy.” Kai dropped his fork, got up and walked over to him. He removed the chair strap and kissed him on his forehead. “Come, let's go bathe.” “But you're not done with breakfast yet,” I pointed out, getting to my feet instantly. “I don't feel like eating anymore.” He picked Lukas up. “Thanks for breakfast. I appreciate getting fed even though I really have nothing to contribute.”“Kai —”“Let's go, baby.” He carried Lukas out and ignored me completely. I fell back

  • Shadows Of Obsession: The Stalker's Prey   It doesn't matter

    “I didn't mean that, baby.” I got up and reached for him, but he drew a step back. Shit. Why did I even blurt that out? I really wasn't in my right senses.He laughed. “I see.” He drew another step back. “I was a fool, you know? I really thought you… We…” He raised his hands and drew in a breath. “I guess I got over my head.”I shook my head. “Baby —”He lifted his right palm, silencing me before I could finish my words. “You're right. I'm really nothing without you.” He laughed again, and my heart squeezed when I noticed how wet his eyes had become. He sat on the couch opposite me. “Ever since I got married into your fucking family, I had been relying heavily on you.” He let out another dry laugh. “I even had to fucking milk you dry just because I needed to save our damned arse!” “Baby —”I tried to take a step towards him, but he stopped me with a glare. “I don't even have the right to be angry, you know?” He continued, looking at me with empty eyes. My stomach squeezed in fear.

  • Shadows Of Obsession: The Stalker's Prey   What can you do without me?

    STEIN I almost got caught. I didn't intend to view that video. I was adding more photos to my private stash before I accidentally clicked on it, and couldn't stop myself from watching because of how freaking sexy Kai was. I'd never seen a man as seductive as him. He was really born to be under another man.“Are you hungry?” I asked our son as I carried him downstairs, grateful for his interruption. Without it, Kai would have really lost it. For a moment, he looked as if he wanted to hit me, not just with his phone this time. I knew I could always overpower him, but I would never hurt him. Well… With my hands. There was always the second option of hiring Scorpion to fake another kidnapping and hit him into submission as he did before. “Stein —”“Our son is right here, baby. Can we talk about that other matter later?” I begged, knowing I wouldn't talk about it at all. He let out a breath. “Can we talk about my company, then? Edward's number isn't reachable, and I can't even find the

    KAI“This is all, sir,” Edward said as he placed the files I asked for on my desk. “I also spoke with Mr Elliot Marshall, and he agreed to the meeting tonight. I booked a table for two at your favourite restaurant.”“Good.”I picked the first file from the pile. “And the Schmidt? Did you investigat

    KAIThe rest of the week went by in a blur. By the time Friday knocked on my door, I was drained. I'd stayed awake two nights, thinking of the bloody truce marriage and how to get the fuck out of it. I wasn't like Dad, who thought we needed this. We don't. We have been surviving all these years wit

    STEINThe night masked me as I watched him, hidden in a corner, my camera ready to take more pictures. He was just as cute as always, dressed in a custom-made suit, his hair slicked back, and his strides long and precise. I'd watched him get ready. The way the water cascaded down his naked back as

    KAIHis mouth found mine, stealing the questions on the tip of my tongue. Stein's hands were in my hair and on my jaw. He cupped my face like he was afraid I'd disappear if he let go. I didn't care. I kissed him back, and my fingers twisted in his collar to pull him closer. The taste of him flooded
