Luca's Pov

“I know." I whispered and then pulled away from his embrace just enough to stretch up and give him a kiss.

Just one kiss. Or so I planned. But as I tasted his lips, one was not enough. Just one kiss was never enough with Luca. And from the way he responded, obviously it was the same with him.

I wrapped both arms around his neck and he held me firmly on the waist as the kiss deepened.

“We're running out of time." He growled against my lips.

“Are you sure?" I pulled away just a fraction of an inch. His breath clouded my face and so did his. "Or is that just your paranoia talking?”

“I’m not paranoid." He countered.

“Mmhmm." I claimed his lips again, unable to help myself.

He responded but he also tried pushing me back gently. I pushed him back. Hard. This took him by surprise and it brought about the reaction I was expecting. He lunged for me and grabbed hold of my neck, his eyes blazing.

I struggled, punching him in the chest. And then I pivoted, grabbing h

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   159. Escape.

    Alex's Pov My dreams were troubled. Tumultuous. I kept reaching out for something and never getting it. I ran after someone constantly. Sometimes it was Matthew. Most times it was Luca. He stayed stubbornly out of reach. I kept drifting in and out of sleep. I knew I'd fallen sick. Couldn't understand why or when I'd caught the flu. I knew Luca was in my room but I couldn't remember much from the previous night when I woke up the next morning. There was a dent on the other side of the bed telling me he had spent the night. Also, his clothes were on a chair in the corner. We couldn't have had sex. I would've known if that happened. A delicious aroma wafted from my left drawing my attention to the plate of sandwiches on the nightstand. My stomach growled in response and I reached for them. As I took a bite, I found myself smiling. Luca had taken care of me. Made these for me. As quickly as the smile came, I wiped it off. No amount of care could erase what he had done. And

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   158. No Heart to Hurt.

    Luca’s Pov I kept watch over him all day and through the night. The fever didn't get as bad as it was in the morning but the mumbling through bad dreams didn't stop. I tried shaking him awake a few times but he'd go right back after a few minutes. I decided there wasn't much I could do about that but let him ride it out. He ate only a little more of the soup later that evening and I forced him to swallow a few aspirin pills. If he was getting any better, it wasn't evident yet. I spent the night in his room, too worried to leave him all on his own. He wouldn't let me leave for long anyways. Each time he woke up, his eyes immediately searched around for me. And just before he would drift off to sleep, he would ask that I lie with him. It was a bittersweet feeling and my chest constricted painfully each time, knowing this was only because he wasn't feeling well. When he recovered, he would still want nothing to do with me. And that was okay. I savoured the moment. Holding him

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   157. Lovesick.

    Luca's Pov “Alex? You in there?" I knocked again when no reply came. Still no response. He couldn't still be asleep. It was mid afternoon. I knocked again and when he still didn't answer the door, I turned the knob. He was still asleep, huddled under a mass of fluffy duvets. I turned around to leave but stopped. There was more than one duvet on the bed. Why would he need more than one? I walked over to him and had to dig through three layers of covering to get to him. He was asleep alright. His skin looked clammy and when I placed a hand on his head, I pulled away as it burned. “Goddamnit." I grumbled in concern as I pulled the rest of the covers away from him. That woke him up instantly. “Wh…what? Nooooo.” He moaned, wrapping his arms around his body. "I'm c…cold. Give them back. Please.” “You're running a fever. How long have you had the flu?" “I do…don't have the f…flu." His teeth chattered together as he spoke. I groaned and tossed the covers back on him. The

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   156. Awaiting Orders.

    Luca's Pov Numb. I wanted to feel numb.It came as easily as breathing to me. Moving through life in a haze. Unfeeling. Unflinching. Now I stood alone in an empty gym, craving the feeling of being numb. Because what lay on the other side of numb was too much to handle. Matt was one. One man amongst many whose blood stained my hands. Actually, he was the first of many. Missions before Matt had been surveillance. And before that, training. We shot guns at wooden targets. Then at live targets but with blanks. I pulled a real gun during a mission before then but I never had to shoot it. I knew I was going to have to kill somebody. It wasn't as though I was not aware of the type of organization I had joined. But no amount of training readies you for the first time you pull the trigger and watch a man go down. A boy not much older than I was. To watch him struggle with death, knowing your hands did it. He was the first of many. It was easier the second time. And the tim

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   155. Dead Cold.

    Alex's Pov I woke up with the taste of dried tears in my mouth. My clothes were rumpled and the sheets were bunched up on the floor. I must've battled with myself in my sleep. It had been years since that happened. It used to happen a lot during the months following… I tried to push the thoughts out of my head. Memories. Dreams of memories. My legs buckled under me as I struggled to get on my feet. My fingers were shaky, clumsy. The room felt cold. Too cold. I stumbled my way to the bathroom, holding onto the walls for balance. The bathroom was clean and ironically bigger than the last one. I gripped the sink and stared into the foggy mirror above it. My mouth hung open as my parched throat screamed for water. My skin was clammy, my eyes sunken. I splashed some water in my face and gulped some down directly from the tap. It was cold. Too cold. Just like Matt was cold. Dead cold in the ground. I dragged myself back out, my legs giving way as I reached the bed. Cold.

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   154. His Deception.

    Alex’s Pov Everything went back to normal for the next couple of days. It was the weeks leading to graduation so the school was buzzing with activities and excitement. I couldn't go a single day or hour without thinking about what Matt said that night in my room. He hadn't brought it up again and I decided not to either. But each time we met, each time we looked into each other's eyes, the same thoughts seemed to be going through our heads. We were running away together. Frankly, I would've preferred to simply say we were leaving rather than running away. I didn't know when or how, but I trusted Matt. If he said he was going to do something, bet your sweet ass he was going to see it through. I daydreamed constantly about the future we would have. About the yacht and cars and champagne on the deck like Matt had said but also other things. The times that would come before that. It would be hard. New York was a big city. Maybe an unwise choice for two small town gay boys
