Alex's Pov

I turned to find Lizzie's eyes boring into mine as she squatted at the edge of the pool beside me.

“Staring? What?” I stuttered.

Her face remained impassive as she lowered herself into the pool. Her skin looked even paler now that the clothes were gone. She wore a black bra top and a pair of high waisted, thick swim panties.

She had some freakish looking tattoos on her back, upper thighs and a flower tattoo around her belly button that looked out of place amongst the more deadlier drawings.

“You know what I'm talking about.” She replied to me before sinking slowly under water.

I waited for her to re-emerge. Thirty seconds, a minute. Her black hair fanned out above her, casting a sort of canopy over her form in the water.

Two minutes.Three?

I wondered about dragging her up in fear that she'd drown but just as I thought that, she lifted herself upwards. Again slowly.

No sharp intake of breath or panting to show she had held her breath for a long time. Just a

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   79. New Old Apartment.

    Alex's Pov I didn't have a class that afternoon. Ryan dropped me off at school and said he had some errands to run with Lizzie. Something about buying parts for his Dad's vintage motorcycle project. I hung out at the library untill evening before heading back to the penthouse. The place I now called home. I had expected to see Luca back. He was injured and would need more rest. Which would mean him spending more time at the penthouse. Or so I had thought. But he wasn't in. Instead, I met another note waiting for me on the bedside table. It was the same handwriting as the one from earlier and it made me smile. The contents didn't though. He said he had been admitted into a hospital but he didn't say which one. And he was going to be away for ten days. Ten freaking days. A few weeks before, I would've considered that freedom. But now. Now I wasn't so sure of what I felt. I groaned in frustration and tossed the note back onto the table. Who exactly did I want? Ryan? Luca

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   78. Pissed And Confused.

    Alex's Pov Ryan didn't ask any further questions so we headed for the cafe. I kept thinking of what to do the next time he asked to come over. I couldn't keep stalling like this. Sooner or later he was going to find out. Maybe when he decides to pay me a surprise visit. Ask around for me and gets told I don't live there. Not anymore. What was going to happen then? The only option I seemed to have right now was to end the friendship. Or avoid him for the next two months maybe. Not completely, just keep the interactions down to the bare minimum until the contract with Luca expired. But did I want the contract to expire though? I enjoyed being with Luca. But at the same time, I loved being around Ryan. He cared for me. Treated me like I mattered. Like I meant something. ‘I would never let anything bad happen to you. You mean a lot to me.’ Words imprinted in my memory. Words Luca would probably never say. Ryan fought off a bully for me and Luca killed a man. But Luca ave

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   77. The Bunker.

    Luca's Pov It'd been so long since I'd been in the Bunker. Ever since Elias got his medical degree, all my treatments had been done by him. I hated hospitals. They reminded me too much about the days spent taking Oliver from one doctor to the other. I stayed away from hospitals as much as I could, not wanting to relive those memories. When I first came into Vincent Moreau's employ however, staying away was next to impossible. Training days brought on injuries almost every week. And since most of us were boys with shady pasts he'd picked from the streets, we couldn't be treated in a regular hospital. I didn't try talking him out of bringing me here though. Elias was really good at patching me up but Vincent knew I needed more than that. I needed to heal and rest away from the rest of the world. The nurse who received me took one look at the bandages and tutted disapprovingly at Elias. “Your boy is ruining my rep, Luca." He whispered to me through gritted teeth. I gave h

    Alex's Pov “Just a little scratch." Ryan shrugged and laughed. "But you're alright yeah?” He came close, looking me over. "I'm fine. They didn't hurt me.” I swatted him away. "Ok, we should get that cleaned up.” I said, pointing at his knuckles again. The blood smeared across it was obviously not solely his opponents. Fresh blood was beginning to run sluggishly down his fingers. "It's nothing a little tissue dab wouldn't fix.” He said, looking around as though he could find a clean tissue paper lying on the floor.I sighed, “Come on." I didn't wait for him to protest again, I grabbed his hands and led him into the library. Mrs Doherty raised her head in greeting but didn't comment on the fact I was dragging a boy with a bloody knuckle in. I led him into the bathroom at the back and motioned for him to sit on the counter while I fetched a tissue from my bag. “Ugh, so fussy. I told you, it's just a scratch." He grumbled but he was smiling. “Even scratches need cleaning."

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   75. Snitch.

    Alex's Pov I was seven minutes late for Mrs Porter's class. Thankfully, she didn't give a damn about students showing up late. She didn't even so much as look at me as I walked in through the back. I got a few glances from the other students but not much else. It was a small lecture hall. Only about fifty seats of which only half were occupied. Mrs Porter was a heavy set woman in her fifties who said little, cared little and ended most of her sentences with a sigh. Her classes were ironically interesting though. At least to me. Folklore was my favorite course so far and I wished she'd teach it with a little more enthusiasm instead of making it such a snooze fest every time. She talked about Greek myths but with the same incessant sighing. As though she just couldn't stand Zeus and his cohorts for one more semester. “And can someone remind me how many daughters Atlas had?” She asked with a sigh, half sitting on the desk in front of the class. There were murmurs and

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   74. Warmth Feels Good.

    Luca's Pov “How's Sage doing?" I asked. Elias was still scowling even at the wheel so I knew something else had pissed him off this morning besides me leaving without notice. “What? Oh she's fine. Just dandy." He sneered. “You two argued again, huh?" I smirked at him. He frowned in anger but stayed silent. For all of ten seconds. “She's insufferable. Acts like she knows everything. Would rather kill herself than admit she's wrong…” He groaned in complaint. "Annnnd she's still in our apartment.” I finished up with a knowing glance in his direction. "Huh? Of course she's still there. We told her she could stay, didn't we?” "Yeah. Until the job is over. The job is over, Elias.” I smirked again. “The job just got over yesterday....” "The day before.” I corrected. He turned to me, his eyes shining with annoyance. "Fine, the day before. But…" “She annoys you so much, you'd think you'd have kicked her out the morning after. But no. Saw her sleeping quite peacefully on the
