Alex's Pov

He was gone. Again.

I sighed as I walked through the living room and into the kitchen. The stove was turned off and my tomato sauce was getting cold.

I looked sadly at the plate still in the microwave. The thought of pasta turned my stomach now. I grabbed a packet of chips from the cupboard instead.

Why did he leave? Without saying goodbye. Again. Nothing about this should surprise me anymore. And yet, it did. He'd kissed me again. That heat, that intensity from the first time was doubled. Or was it all in my head?

No, it wasn't. It couldn't have been. It had been there in his eyes, his hands. He'd been gentler this time. Still rough and possessive but less reckless and more….firm? I groaned and placed the chips back on the counter.

If only he would stay a bit. Just a few minutes after. But for what? Cuddles? He didn't even cuddle you when he slept on the same bed with you. Get a load of yourself. I hated this. I hated feeling like crap afterwards. Especially a

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   65. Wilted Flower.

    Luca's Pov News of the beating I had given Sven spread around school and the neighbourhood. The bullying stopped. Kids whispered to one another as I passed through the hallways. Boys who'd taunted and bullied Ollie and I cheered and raised their hands for a high five whenever they saw me pass by. The four boys from Sven's posse kept their distance. Spearing me with hateful looks and snide comments when my back was turned. I didn't care. I had proven a point. I was untouchable. I felt like a king. Everyone wanted to become my friend all of a sudden. Even Ollie no longer got picked on. Nobody wanted to cross the boy whose older brother had beat up the almighty Sven. Sven himself had disappeared. Or it seemed he had. He didn't show up at school that week or the next. Rumor had it that he'd run back to Switzerland out of shame and now lived in a small town telling people he used to be the top boy in Chicago, America. Untrue rumors of course but it was funny to hear. I kept my

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   64. WHEN THE PAST COMES CALLING.

    Luca's Pov A sharp, stinging pain tore through my shoulders as the bullet hit me and I gritted my teeth against the pain. The blood flowed freely, soaking through the dark fabric, turning it darker. I'd managed to hold my ground against the onslaught, using bodies of fallen men as Shields. There was only one room on this floor. The room that housed The rat, Simon Gallagher. The door could only be accessed through a keycard swipe, finger print, retina scan and a nine digit long passcode. With Sage and Elias offline, I had no idea how I was to get the passcode and get in. The door was made of heavy, reinforced steel so getting in through brute force was out of the question. Right now, I was simply holding my ground until I couldn't anymore. Death was inevitable but if I was going to die I wasn't going to go down without a fight. I wasn't going to go down scared and begging for my life. These soldiers, however many of them remained, would have stories to tell. Right now, t

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   63. PayBack.

    Luca's Pov I didn't stop selling.I had to stay out of school for a few days and Dara made sure to write that letter to the school as she promised. This saw me getting called to the principal's office the day I returned. The principal in question was a heavy set Latina looking woman although with a name like Stella Griffin, I couldn't be too sure. She took a long look at my healing wounds and tutted in pity. “Know their names?” She asked and I shook my head in the negative. “Thought as much. Protecting your enemies are we? Turf war?” She raised a stern brow. “Ma'am?” I blinked at her innocently. “What's it you kids nowadays call it? Territory dispute?” I nearly snorted out loud at that one but managed to keep my face impassive. “I don't know what you're talking about Mrs G.” “Of course you don't. Well if you can't give me their names, there's nothing I can do for ya. Can't punish bullies I don't know now can I?” She didn't try to coerce me into giving names, it would s

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   62. Trouble.

    Luca's Pov I began to lose interest in school. All I could think about during classes were the jobs I had at hand and when I finished those, I couldn't stop thinking about the ones I was to receive. I was making more money than before but I realized pretty soon that I could charge more than the price Lenny pegged each ounce for. My strategy was simple. I offered goods delivered in half the time for a small tip. I had gotten very good at riding my bike and could ride faster than all the other boys. I pumped the pedals Furiously, making sure to get jobs done in half the time, every time. Lenny's misgivings about putting me on the sales roster cleared in a matter of a few weeks. He began trusting me with bigger deliveries, began trusting me with direct contact with clients. I made more money and had to buy another saving box. I replaced groceries more frequently now and either Dara didn't notice or she decided not to say anything about it. I bought a better phone that I kept

    Luca's Pov Fast talker was in the room along with two other men I hadn't seen before. They paid me no mind and focused on the piles of money which were more than the last time I'd been in here. “What is it, little man?” Lenny asked impatiently. “Um… I was hoping I could talk to you privately.” I said in a whisper. “Privately? What are you on? Come on, spit it out, I don't have all day.” He was irritable and I began to think I'd picked the wrong day to tell him about this. Fast talker and his two colleagues were fixated on their task. Or at least they appeared to be but I knew they had an ear on our conversation. I decided I didn't care. If I didn't have the balls to tell him I wanted a different type of job, then how was I going to have the balls to sell directly? “I saw something today. I want in on it. I don't want to be just a delivery boy anymore.” I said as boldly and clearly as I could. Little Lenny raised his eyebrows, “Yo how long you been working for? Two weeks

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   60. Getting By.

    Luca's Pov The element of surprise wouldn't last. I had to utilize it as much as possible. These were trained mercenaries. Just as trained as I was and so they would almost accurately predict everything I thought of doing. Which was why I was to do the unexpected. I put all of my weight into my arms and threw the bullet torn dead body onto my attackers. Another two second window where they instinctively started shooting at the body again and I ran out of the elevator. I grabbed the guy nearest to me and without wasting anytime, dragged my knife across his throat. Turns out I didn't need to. The soldiers started to shoot at us, not caring he was one of their own as long as they got to me. From behind my new shield, I fired shots of my own. I took my time. Unlike the mercenaries who sprayed bullets in every direction, I picked them off one after the other. These men were fully kilted in protective gear. Helmets, knee pads, bullet proof vests, and shoulder pads. I had to targe
