GUARDED

last update Last Updated: 2025-06-02 16:26:29

We got to the villa in no time, Rob and I holding hands throughout the ride home. I had no idea how to process this but I pushed it to the back of my mind, desire pulsing through my veins instead of blood.

By the time we got to the entrance, I still hadn’t changed my mind. And immediately when we get to our bedroom, Rob pulled me in closer as he kissed me all over again. His hands roamed all over me as mine unbuttoned his shirt.

Was I really gonna go through with this?

His lips grazed mine again, slower this time, like he was memorizing the shape of me. His breath was ragged, but his voice came low and soft.

“I’ve tried to stay away from you. I really have.”

Damn him!

How was I supposed to pull away when he said things like that. When he looked at me like that.

His hands cupped my face as his forehead rested against mine.

“But I want you so badly it’s eating me alive. I don’t know how to want less. I never have when it comes to you.”

I close my eyes as he kissed me

  • THE DEVIL’S CHOKEHOLD    ASK NICELY

    I pushed him off, angry at him for making me want him this much but angrier at myself for letting it happen.He closed the space between us again and wrapped his fingers around my neck, much tighter than before.Tears sprang to my eyes as I became light headed. His were fingers exactly where I like them. “Fuck you, Rob. Fuck you to hell,” I said, my voice cracking with fury I couldn’t understand.“You don’t have to tell me twice. I’d gladly give you what you so clearly want. I’d give you anything you ask, even if it’s my life,” he said.I shouldn’t trust him. I shouldn’t let him in. I shouldn’t fuck the man who is supposed to be my bodyguard.But damn him. And fuck everything. I would let him give me what I so clearly wanted.The intensity of his gaze only made the itch under my skin worse. He was already doing things to me without his hands.“I bet if I let my hands go there, it would already be soaked for me,” he whispered against my lips, his right hand still wrapped around my thr

  • THE DEVIL’S CHOKEHOLD    INTERTWINED

    Camilla’s men spread out across the warehouse like it was second nature, checking the bodies and securing the exits. Rob was bleeding fast. He slid down the wall, breathing hard as Camilla tossed him a medkit. “Still reckless as hell,” she muttered, kneeling to help him without waiting for his permission. I stood frozen for a second, heart pounding, dress torn, body sticky with sweat and smoke. My mind was running, but it couldn’t outrun the ache in my chest. Juno. The ambush. Rob. That kiss. The bullet. Too much. Too fucking much. “You okay?” Camilla asked her without looking up. “I’ll live,” I muttered. “That dress says otherwise,” Camilla smirked. “But you wear it like armor. Respect.” I didn’t smile. “Who the hell are you?” “The one you has been sending you messages”, she replied. Rob answered. “This is Camilla Amato. Former Special Ops. Freelance ghost now. She used to work for the same people I did.” “Until he left me behind,” Camilla added without missing a beat. “St

  • THE DEVIL’S CHOKEHOLD    BONDING

    Before I could comprehend anything at all, Rob pulled me as we ducked the bullets that rained down on us from the surrounding buildings.Great, I led us into an ambush. They were standing by to make sure Juno finished the job.“Move,” Rob said as we ran out of the alleyway into the streets.“I can’t run in heels,” I said.“Then take them off,” he shouted back.“Are you being ridiculous right now?” I said, standing to catch my breath.A hot body didn’t really mean a fit body, and my goddess, I was out of breath from a short run.“I can see you’re not really the athletic type,” he said.He didn’t even give me a second before swooping me onto his shoulder, his hand around my naked thigh as my dress had slipped up a bit.We passed the street, everything almost a blur to me at how fast he was running.Some of the attackers must have stepped out because I heard a bullet whiz by us. Rob took him out, but it was clear we were outnumbered.I was still trying to get my feelings in check since J

  • THE DEVIL’S CHOKEHOLD    TOUCHING HIS SISTER

    BIANCAI stepped into the alleyway and spotted Juno already leaning against the wall, a folder in his hand and that same jittery look in his eyes. At least he showed up. Maybe he actually had something for once. “I usually wait hours for my clients,” he said, his eyes scanning me from head to toe. “But you’re very punctual.” “I know. What do you have for me, Juno?” He tilted his head as if trying to read more than what was in front of him. “Red hair and green eyes suit you.” “I didn’t come here for compliments,” I said, glancing over my shoulder. “What do you have?” He smiled like he enjoyed the chase. “The person who sent the message knew about the bombing before it happened. Whether they caused it or were just informed, I can’t say for sure yet. That level of detail will cost more. I’ll need to pay some people.” Of course he needed more money. He always did. He probably already had the answer and just wanted extra for whatever he was hooked on now. His pupils were shaky, and

  • THE DEVIL’S CHOKEHOLD    DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT TOUCHING MY SISTER

    ROB POVThe message from earlier still burned brightly in my head. The mistake the sender made was using a traceable number. It was none other than that pathetic bastard, Jason. Of course he used a traceable number. He wanted me to know it was him behind the message.Fucking idiot.I sat on the balcony with my laptop open beside a half-empty glass. I had lost count of how many drinks I had, and I was too far gone to care. The only thing that mattered was the video playing in front of me. I kept replaying it like it held the answers to every question burning in my head.That kiss. I had been checking through the CCTV footage every night since our attack and I came across it. The video of our garden kiss. I deleted it of course, no one else is allowed to see that. But I transferred it to my laptop first.I watched it again. And again. And again.There was no adrenaline this time, no fight or flight. No alcohol. No chaos. It had been quiet. Calm. Real. And she kissed me.Bianca Marcello
