HAZEL

“Nico,” I begin, my voice trembling. “You’re freaking me out, okay? I don’t care if he decides to kill me. I guess it was a long time coming....”

He stares at me, unblinking. “He already sold me in there...to that man called Mac,” I say, the words tumbling out. “I’m supposed to go spend the night with him, and he paid Axel a million, okay? I know you don’t want to hear that; I know it sounds insane...but he sold me.”

Nico doesn’t react. His expression doesn’t change. His silence is worse than if he had yelled.“I was mad, I was angry, and I was looking for an outlet,” I continue, my voice breaking. “The last thing I wanted was to sleep with a man I didn’t want. I wasn’t thinking.... I should’ve thought about you. And I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to drag you into my mess. It just happened.”

He shakes his head, but not in understanding. It’s the kind of shake that comes when someone reaches a conclusion, when the line has already been drawn.He lights another cigarette. His hands are sh

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Breaks Me

    HAZELI am an idiot.A stupid, stupid idiot.Whàt was I thinking?What the hell was I expecting? That Axel was magically gonna change just because we slept together? That he was gonna..... I don’t know, spoil me? Take care of me after? Say sweet nothings into my ear? Whisper that he loved me?Gosh! How could I have been so stupid?“Come on, let’s go before the water gets cold,” Angela tells me.And I want to lash out so much. God, I want to lash out because I’m so damn angry at Axel that I find myself angry at everything. Angry at Angela, Angry at the whole damn world.“I can do it by myself. Can you at least give me some privacy?”“Come on, Hazel.....” she begins.“Please!” I scream toward the whole fucking room.She raises her hands instantly. “Okay, okay, okay. Do whatever you want, Hazel.”Angela finally walks out of the room, and the moment she’s gone, I do the one thing I told myself I wouldn’t do.I let myself cry.And I cry.And I cry again some more.When I hear the knock on

    HAZELOh no, he didn’t.“What the fuck are you doing here?” I practically screamed.And to her credit, she actually had the sense to look a little shy as she stepped further into the room, her hands raised as if she were approaching a wild animal. “Do not kill the messenger,” she murmured. “I am here because Axel told me to get you something.”She walked deeper into the room and placed something that looked like a small basket on top of the table, as if this were completely normal. Then she turned back to me with this soft, pitying look and asked, “How are you feeling? Are you okay?" I didn't have the words to reply to her. "Don’t worry, I’m gonna take care of you.” she continued.I widened my eyes at her."What the hell are you doing here? Get out. Go. I don’t want you here." I snapped.“It’s gonna be okay,” she continued, oblivious to every warning inside my voice. “I know everything is… your emotions are all over the place. But first things first, I know you’re in pain. I’m gonna

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Sorry

    HAZELIt fucking hurt.... Shit!It hurt like hell.And it's not just my body. My heart felt like someone had shoved a fist straight through it and squashed it.I was still trying to breathe past the dull ache that had settled between my legs. After he jerked away and I was instantly replaced by a stinging emptiness. All I’d wanted was for him to feel what I felt. I wanted him to be there for me, but instead, I got... this."Fuuuck""Shit!"“Sorry.” The words sounded hollow and meaningless as he quickly fumbled with his clothes, trying to shove himself back into his pants. “Jesus. Fuck. I’m so....”I watched his face, expecting, hoping for something.... Something gentle, something tender, but his eyes were wide with self-disgust, not concern for me. He was focused on his mistake, not my pain.Axel shook his head, looking everywhere but at me. I bit down hard on the inside of my cheek, tasting copper. I was the one bleeding. I was the one who had suffered through it. And now, I was

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Lost In The Moment

    AXELBefore I can stop her, Hazel's hands are already tugging at my jacket. I should pull away. I should take her wrists. I should stop this.But I don’t.She slips my jacket down my arms, lets it fall to the floor like it’s nothing, and then her fingers move to the buttons of my shirt. My breath catches, not because of what she’s doing, but because of what I’m letting her do.The only excuse I have—the only defence I can come up with—is that I froze.I froze. I was too weak a man to resist temptation this lethal, this beautiful, this fucking inevitable.Too weak to push Hazel away when she was offering herself like this—soft, willing, trembling, trusting.Her fingers undo another button… then another… and I swear my heart slams against my ribs hard enough to bruise.Hazel stands there, small and unprotected and perfect, looking at me like I’m something worthy instead of something dangerous.And I can’t move.I can’t breathe.I can’t fight her.Because despite everything I’ve told mys

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    I Beg

    AxelI don't know what exactly made me hesitate, because I wanted her, and I wanted her badly.I wanted her more than I wanted my next breath. That's how bad I wanted her. That's how bad I wanted into her....inside her.But I think it was her eyes. It was the way she looked at me. There was trust there....pure, unguarded trust and something else I didn’t want to acknowledge. Something that pinned me to the ground harder than her body ever could.What struck me most was the innocence I saw in there. Hazel was so innocent.She probably thought I was going to make love to her, the same way she probably did with her boyfriend... as that stupid, prick, good-for-nothing boyfriend promised her. But that’s not what she was going to get with me. Especially not this way, with her pressed against the wall, begging for my hands, begging for my mouth, begging for everything I could give and everything I shouldn’t.I’m sure it’s not what Hazel expects tonight.Contrary to her belief, I know Hazel m

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Beautiful

    AXEL“Come here,” I say, before I can truly process what I am about to do.What the fuck am I doing?This is a bad idea..... A terrible idea.Hazel closed the space between us without hesitation, willing and responsive. Perfect. I’d never met someone so agreeable yet so stubborn. Who was this woman??We were flush against each other, her flowery scent invading my nostrils.“You're so beautiful” Fuck! What the hell was I saying?My hand slid to her cheek, palming it. She took a ragged breath, her entire body trembling to my briefest touch. I wondered how receptive she was and if I would get to find out tonight just how much.How hard she quivered when pressed against someone she actually wanted.Someone whose arms she longed for.“Oh! Aah…” She stammered, letting me tug her into position. Her thighs straddled my right leg. I angled her so her clit pressed against my muscles. "That is so.... Umh..." She wasn’t thinking straight.Unfortunately, neither was I. I dipped my head down at th
