Alex's Pov

Stay angry Alex. Be strong. I mentally told myself but Matt was making silly puppy dog eyes at me and it was getting pretty hard to keep the giggles in.

“You were being an ass. And we said no secrets. Matter of fact, you did. Those were your words, remember?"

He blew out a breath, "And I know.” He walked to the foot of my bed where he sat. “I also said we needed to trust each other more than anyone else.”

“Trust has nothing to do with…”

"It does.” He gazed up at me with sincerity shining in his eyes, "I'm not doing anything wrong, I need you to trust that."

I sighed and sat beside him, “Nothing wrong and nothing illegal?”

“Well..." He began and then smirked at the disbelief on my face, “I'm just messing with you. Nothing illegal. I promise." He laughed and poked my arm.

“Still not gonna tell me who that guy was."

“He's not important." He scooted closer and drew his face to my neck, “This is important. Us." The kiss was gentle. Followed by another.

    Alex's pov “I tried to help. I was too late. I should have taken the gun sooner.” I rattled off, my words tripping over themselves in their hurry to come out. “It's alright. Come on, let him go. I'll take it from here." His voice was measured but I noticed the shift in his eyes when they started to Luca. The slight tremble in his hands as he held my shoulder. “Is he going to be okay?" I asked, my voice dropping to a scared whisper. “He will be but you need to let go of him now." Elias cajoled, gently praying my fingers one after the other from Luca's body. I hadn't realized I had been holding on so tightly. Clutching to him like life depended on it. I let him pry my hand away and reluctantly let go of Luca, gently lowering him back to the floor. All at once, the men snapped into action, surrounding us and swiftly attending to Luca. I was pulled up to my feet and led out of the room despite my feeble protests. Dragging my feet didn't help, I was practically lifted up the

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   178: Had Enough.

    Alex’s Pov There seemed to be a yawn of time between my pulling the trigger and hearing the deafening sound of the bullet exiting the nozzle. Enough time to take a step back from myself and contemplate what I was doing. I was shooting at Ryan Quinn. I was really doing it. Of course there wasn't any time between.The deafening sound of the bullet filled the room the instant I pulled the trigger. Ryan lurched forward, the force of the bullet slamming into his back pushing him to his knees. He got up and turned around slowly, his eyes blazing like burning coals. I stood frozen in place, gun still raised at him. “How dare you." His voice was quiet. Deadly. He stood straight, the only sign he'd been shot the drops of blood falling slowly to the floor behind him. I opened my mouth to speak but no sounds came out. Fear twisted my gut even further and my hand stayed rooted in place. He didn't walk towards me. Not at first. He looked at the gun in my hands uncertainly and then back

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   177: Longer Than Five Seconds.

    Alex's Pov Luca was going to die. Ryan would kill him. I cowered in a corner, wanting to shut my eyes but unable to look away from the carnage before me. There was a strange feeling of…dejavu? Nostalgia? Weeks ago I'd watched, cowering and crying as well, as the two men before me fought. But this was nothing like the last time. Last time Ryan had been severely outmatched. Or had he? He hadn't been putting in as much effort as he was now. Barely even half. Luca had pummeled him. Snapped an arm. Claimed me in front of him in a show of territoriality. He'd marked me as the spoils of war. But that all seemed so long ago. A lifetime ago. A lot has happened between then and now. I was no longer a thing for him to claim. I was no longer a toy for his use. I had become more to him and him to me. Maybe even then, I had started to become something more. He flew into a blind rage on Ryan because I meant something to him and that was his crooked way of showing it. To Ryan…I

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   176: The Maniac.

    Luca's Pov I was not expecting that. And neither was Ryan. He yelped in pain, raising a hand to his face while his other hand pulled the trigger in reflex. Time slowed. My movements felt sluggish, like I was moving through molasses. The bullet missed Alex's head by a hair's breath. He'd thrown his head far back enough to stay just out of range of the nozzle and Ryan was taken unaware so he'd moved his hand an inch before unconsciously firing off a shot. Alex's eyes widened as though he was just as surprised as Ryan and I at his action but he didn't pause to take it in, he ducked low and to the right. I was already moving by now, quickly overcoming my surprise. But so was Ryan. He made to grab at Alex as he bolted right but caught sight of me coming at him and swung his fist instead. I pulled the trigger. Once. And missed. Ryan ducked and came at me with his fists, gun discarded unceremoniously. He wanted a brawl? Fine. I threw my gun aside as our fists collided in a flur

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   175: Couldn't Leave Him.

    Luca's Pov I drew out my knife from the gut of the man on the floor. I had thrown the last knife on me and there was no time going through the corpses in the house to retrieve my weapons. One handgun left, two bullets in the chamber. All I needed was one bullet to kill the sucker. I stormed towards the last door. Didn't bother trying to see if it was locked or not. I put all my strength behind the kick and the door flew off its hinges. I marched in, gun ready and pointed. And then I froze. Alex. He stared at me. Eyes shining with an equal mix of fear and relief. Eyes that were open in slits, puffy and rapidly turning red along with the rest of his face. He'd been hit. Someone laid a hand on him. My hand tightened around the gun as my gaze fell on the only other person in the room. Ryan fucking Quinn. He stood behind Alex, right arm wrapped around Alex's neck, left arm pointing a gun to his temple, stupid grin on his stupid face. “Well, well, well. It would seem t

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   174: Basement.

    Luca's Pov The smug bastard’s blue eyes stared back at me with detachment and boredom. “You don't look well, Lucas." He drawled. He took two sure footed, even steps towards me. Heavy boots thudding on the hardwood floor. I limped towards him, my lips pulled back from my teeth in a snarl. My fingers trembled with barely concealed rage and the gun shook in my hands. He kept his stare on mine, automatic rifle raised to fire point blank at my chest. But first, he'll taunt. A little cat and mouse dance. It made the kill sweeter. I knew he would do this because I probably would. Words would kill the spirit, bullets the soul. “We meet again." I said slowly, my gun still pointing at the hardwood floor. Almost non-threatening. “We've got to stop meeting under these circumstances, Luca Moon. You at my mercy.“ His mouth curved upwards in a humorless smirk. He was going to draw this out. Enjoy it. I narrowed my eyes in annoyance. “I was never at your mercy." “Having the people
