Sydney

I watched him pour a peg of Jack Daniels for himself. “What are you thinking of? Come here.” He patted the seat beside him.

“I’m not drinking tonight. I have a low alcohol tolerance.” Yet I eyed his drink. What difference would a few sips make? I needed it so badly after what I had been through.

“It doesn’t matter if you get a hangover. I’m there to take care of you.” He watched me hesitate. “What’s going on in your head now?”

“Just one sip.” I wondered why he was forcing me. Did he have any ulterior motive? What could it be?

He grinned and poured a little into another peg for me. “Relax. Here you go.” I sipped slowly, savoring the taste. “This is the first time I’m drinking with someone other than Emilia. I’m not allowed to touch it at home. While my brothers do whatever they please, my dad has a distinct set of rules chalked out for me. I sometimes wonder if I’m his daughter.”

Killian gave me a blank look. “Of course, you’re his daughter.” He gulped his drink and poured h

  • Taming A Reckless Heart   Chapter Twenty-Six – Uncontrollable Urges

    SydneyThe moment we entered the hotel, his phone buzzed with an incoming call. “Damn! Andrea’s calling me. How did she know we’re in the city?” He gave me a helpless look before accepting the call.I went away towards our room, but I could hear him bickering with her like children. “I promise to be there on your wedding day. Heck! Do you expect me to be there with you guys for ten days? I have my fiancée with me. Please, I need some privacy.” His conversation made me roll my eyes. When did I become his fiancée? As far as I knew, I was his fake girlfriend, and all we had was an incomplete kiss between us. My lips still throbbed from his kiss. It wasn’t just a passionate kiss. It was branding. I had no idea a kiss could be so addictive. Ever since we broke the kiss, I couldn’t think of anything else. His announcement to complete the kiss in the privacy of our room sent my body into overdrive. I knew he wanted it more than I did. How could that be possible? With his experience, I wa

  • Taming A Reckless Heart   Chapter Twenty-Five – What Do You Want From Me?

    KillianHer direct attack made me fumble. Did she realize I was her dad’s worst enemy alive? Did she recognize me? How could she be oblivious to her father’s enemies? Even a teenager was well aware of such threats these days. “I am your future, Princess. Surely you know that by now.” I watched her roll her eyes. “As for your parents, everyone knows about them. The celebrity magazines, newspapers, and gossip columns were abuzz with the news. Then your father sued a leading daily for defamation, and everything died down overnight.”She released a staggering sigh and nodded, accepting my explanation. I released a breath of relief at my narrow escape. It taught me to control such slips in the future. I had to be more careful about what I said. I couldn’t let Sydney know my motive. It would wreck my plan of revenge. No, I couldn’t afford that when the game had just begun, and I was already in control. With Philippe Bardot hunting for me all over, I knew he would find me easily if I visit

    SydneyHe led me out of the hotel onto the pedestrian-friendly lane lined with shops and cafés on either side. Hand in hand we walked down Adrianou Street, taking a detour to Kidathineon Street. The quaint alleyways and neoclassical homes were truly admirable.“It’s a different world altogether!” I wanted to add how romantic it was, but restrained myself at the last minute. It didn’t look like Killian had a romantic bone in his body.“Do you like Athens better than LA or Cape Town?” He smiled, pulling me uphill towards Anafiotika, a hidden Cycladic-style neighborhood tucked beneath the Acropolis.“I like to explore other places, but LA is home. It’s the place I would always return to, no matter what.” It didn’t matter that my dad lived there. I loved my city. It was where I had memories of my mom. They gave me a sense of belonging to the place.“I know the feeling. It’s the same for me. I travel the world, but I always return to my roots, to my home. There was a time when my parents w

    Sydney I waited for Killian to return and update me about the phone call. It had been five minutes since he had gone out. What was taking him so long? Unable to control the feeling of dread, I sat up and scrolled through my phone. The door opened, and Killian returned with a scowl on his face.“What happened? Why did the SAPS team call you? Have they found me?” I waited anxiously for his reply.He stormed into the closet instead of answering me. “We’re leaving in five minutes. Hurry.” Panic clutched at my heart, and I sprang from the bed and rushed over to the closet. Thankfully, my stuff was all packed up since I hadn’t unpacked after returning from the staff quarters. “I’ll just change. Do you need help?” I picked up a fresh set of clothes to change into. “No.” He stuffed his belongings into his trolley case haphazardly. It made me panic more. What could have happened? Why was he rushing?In a few minutes, I was ready and, strangely, so was Killian. “Let’s go.” He led me to his

  • Taming A Reckless Heart   Chapter Twenty-Two – Won’t He Kiss Me?

    Sydney I was on tenterhooks around him as I lay on my side to sleep. After his announcement, the se*ual tension surrounding us was so intense, it left me confused. Now that we were in a relationship, would he claim me? Did he expect me to behave as his girlfriend? How did girlfriends behave? With no prior dating experience, I wasn’t aware of such basic facts.So, at twenty-one, I was maybe the only inexperienced virgin around who shied away from the male species. Would that make Killian run away from me? With his looks and financial status, it was obvious that he was an experienced player when it came to women. Would he repent his decision to make me his girlfriend? The bed dipped, and he joined me on the bed. My breath hitched as I waited for him to do something. Though I had no idea what I was waiting for. “Are you repenting of your decision?” His husky voice made me breathless. I could sense his arousal from his harsh intake of breath. It made me acutely aware of myself, battli
