LOGINChapter 7
Isabella We sit in silence for the rest of the way into London. I know he is upset but to threaten to take my baby from me. It will not happen. Riah wouldn't let it happen, anyway. Then again with solicitors, family courts and judgments being made. I don't look good on paper. Pregnant, irresponsible twenty- year- old student. James has a well- paid job and is established. I try not to think about his threats. I keep stroking my tummy, trying to soothe m~~DAMIAN~~I should hate that, hate that I couldn't be away from her for more than a few minutes before feeling that pull as if there was an imaginary string holding us together. I saw her little face all the way back to the cabin and was running by the time it came into view.My heart raced sickeningly in my chest now for a different reason. I shouldn't have done it, I should've taken the fight to him. Fuck, what have I done? I opened the door and braced myself to see her now with these new confusing feelings playing havoc with my mind. I pulled the mask on over my head and felt sick doing even that, but I needed her.She was lying on her back with her eyes closed and her breath even in sleep. My heart squeezed just a little at the look of innocence on her face. She didn't hear me approach and I stood next to the bed looking down at her and my hand reached out to touch.---She opened her eyes slowly and turned her head my way. I saw the
~~DAMIAN~~At first I was able to detach. My anger and my hatred had sustained me there. But I've found more and more as the days go by, that it's not the easiest thing for one born of compassion, to foster hate. But I'll give it the old college try.As tears started to gather in her eyes, I made my way down to the other end of the bed and climbed in between her naked thighs. Lowering my head between her legs I let my nose get a whiff of her open pussy. The move had her body reddening with embarrassment. But not as much as my next words."Ummm, you still smell of morning sex. I like the smell of my stale seed in you. I can't give you my mouth now though, maybe later after we've cleaned you up." Her eyes followed my hand's movements as I stroked precum from my cock onto her lower stomach down to her thighs.I eased my cock down to her pussy and nosed around but didn't go inside her. "Look at me. Watch my cock split you open. Should I do you a littl
~~DAMIAN~~I tromped through the woods with my dog at my side, lost in thought. It had been some time since I'd let myself think of anything other than revenge. It had fueled my anger and hate and kept the enormity of my loss at bay. But now it seems it was catching up with me.I stopped with my hand braced against a tree as the world came crashing down on me. I bit into my fist to keep the cry of rage trapped inside. I dropped to my knees there in the brush and let the memories come for the first time since I'd got the news.I saw their faces again for the first time without brushing them away and felt my heart break all over again. I wanted to scream the word 'why' but there was no point. What was done cannot be undone no matter how I might wish it.I sat back against the rough bark of whatever tree I'd ended up under and let the memories flow. I'd been away on assignment, gathering information against a foreign faction that had infiltrated a ve
~~DAMIAN~~I fucked her four times that first night, not able to get enough of her sweet cunt and the way it clung to me even as she cursed and called me every vile name in the book. That's when I'd spanked her ass red before doggie fucking her from behind with a gag in her mouth.I'd kept her pussy stuffed all night until she was able to take me more easily, and by the last time I rolled away from her, she'd stopped fighting. Though it had taken days before she was looking for cock each time I got near her.That first day after I'd taken her had been a trial. I'd deliberately left her untied and left the house. I watched from the trees surrounding my cabin as she snuck out the door, looking around cautiously. I'd let her get down off the porch and make her way towards the clearing before releasing my dog from his leash.He took her down amid her screams of fright before I jogged over and stood over her. "Get him off me." I knew he wouldn't hurt h
~~DAMIAN~~"How's my little breeder?" Her eyes flew up to mine from her place on my bed, where her arms and legs were still tied, leaving her body open for my pleasure. Her eyes no longer spat fire at me these days; it was more like a smoldering flame. Lust mixed with anger and just a lingering tinge of fear.The fear stemmed from my unpredictability and the uncertainty of what comes next from one day to another. But not since her first two weeks as my captive have I given her reason to fear me. In fact I think she's more afraid of what she'd become, of her body's response to me and the things I make her feel, than of any physical harm perpetrated by me.I had one of her naked tits in my hand, fondling the pebbled erect nipple while I had the fingers of the other stuffed in her wet cunt. I smiled into her eyes as the significance of my words registered.I finger fucked her nice and deep, spreading her open to take my cock which was unusually hard at the fact that I'd bred her sweet yo
~~STEPHANO~~One year later…"What do you think?" I ask my brothers as I turn to show them my sleek charcoal suit. "Do you think this looks good for the day?""Hmm, I don't know," Domenic teases, acting like he's really thinking about his answer. "I'm not sure you're slick enough to marry such a beauty."I give him a light, playful punch on the arm. "I know Aria is way too good for me. You don't need to remind me all the time. But seriously, do I look okay?"Giovanni jumps in, "Yeah, you look great, Stefano. Ignore this idiot."We all laugh, but I can't disguise the nerves coming through my chuckle. I might have been looking forward to this day ever since I proposed to Aria, but now that the time is here, I can't turn off the intense edginess that's threatening to overcome me. I just want this day to be perfect for Aria. That woman absolutely deserves the world, and I would love nothing more than to give it to her. So I went a little over the top with the décor in this beautiful old I
CHAPTER 25: (Friday, 5:45 PM)The hall smelled of floor wax, childhood sweat, and the faint, hopeful scent of hairspray from the mothers backstage. Keira stood at the back, her hands shoved deep in her coat pockets, trying to blend into the crowd of parents, grandparents, and b
CHAPTER 20: COFFEE AND CONFETTI (Six months after Juliette’s birth) The café smelled of burnt espresso beans and cinnamon. A scent Keira had come to associate with this new phase of her life. The After Isabella phase. Not that Isabella was gone, exactly. Just… transf
Chapter 19**Isabella**I feel the sunlight before I see it when I wake up the next morning. I smile and stretch out in bed. I don't feel James behind me. I was too tired for a shower last night so he got a wet towel to clean me up. Am I pissed about what they did to me? Not aft
CHAPTER 21: (One week later)The country house smelled of dust, old wood, and possibility. Sunlight streamed through mullioned windows, illuminating motes of dust that danced like tiny, careless spirits. Keira stood in what would one day be the great room, if James’s grand visi
