Luca's Pov

The boy on the stairs coughed, snapping me back to the present. He rubbed a hand across his eyes and sniffed. One of his eyelids dropped lazily and his glasses weren't rimmed red but an odd shade of pink.

He wasn't Oliver

“Did you draw that?” I asked, my voice coming out a little sharper than I intended and making him flinch.

He blinked up at me with one eye wide then slowly looked down at the drawing in his hand. He pointed at it and looked at me again.

“That, yes. Did you draw it?” I asked again, coming closer.

He pointed to himself and nodded. The kid was mute.

It wasn't the same drawing of course. But it was eerily similar.

“Come on, get up. Where's your room?” I stretched out a hand to him and he gazed at it distrustfully.

“Boss?” Elias said through the earpiece. “What's the status? Where are you? Can't pick you on any of the camera feeds from the third floor.”

“I'm not on the third floor.” I whispered back into the receiver. My hand was still ou

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   104. A Friendship Rekindled.

    Alex''s Pov My entire body aches. Blissfully so. I'd never been so thoroughly satisfied in my life. My head was a jumble of thoughts and emotions. This was how it’s like being with Luca. It was a constant rollercoaster of chaos. One minute he was kissing me like his next breath depended on it, the next, he was touching me lovingly as he fucked me, and the next, he was a beast twisting the end of a leather whip into my ass. I could never tell which version I was going to get as the days went on. The version of him I'd gotten for the past two days though, I wanted to keep forever. I lay in the crook of his arm, my hand splayed across his broad chest, rising and falling with his breaths in sleep. He looked so handsome and peaceful when he slept. Like an angel. But at the same time, he looked tormented. Dangerous. A dark angel perhaps. And I was a willing slave to him. Bound to worship his huge cock with my lips and body till the end of time. A frown crossed my face at that

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   103. Tasting Him.

    Luca's Pov Could I do what needed to be done? I doubted it. And the fact that I did made me even angrier. This was a no brainer. If Ryan posed a risk to me or the Big Boss, I would need to cut Alex loose as fast as possible. I would need to do that before even taking out the threat. So why was I finding it difficult to wrap my head around this? And even if Ryan wasn't a risk. Even if he just happened to be some random drug pushing criminal who happened to take a liking to Alex, there was still the problem of Alex wanting him too. Either way, I would have to get rid of one or the other. I needed to know more. I couldn't just cut Alex loose. I couldn't bear the thought. I battled with my own thoughts all the way back to the penthouse. So far, Alex was still ignorant about me knowing what had happened at his apartment the other day. Or at least knowing part of what happened. I fiddled with the thought of asking him. Getting answers from him about Ryan. Maybe using him as

    Luca's Pov “Hello, Boss." Elias drawled as he picked up the phone. "I've got something I need to run by you asap. Where are you?” I replied urgently. He hesitated for a few seconds, "Well I'm uh…. Not really unoccupied at the moment…” He began, sounding a little grumbly. "Drop it man. I know you're at Sage's. I'll be there in ten.” I dropped the call but not before I heard him curse under his breath. I could wait. Give him a few minutes with his not-really-a-thing girl. But I couldn't waste another second. I had to crack this case and I had to crack it now. The two lovebirds did not look entirely pleased to see me when I finally got there. Judging from Sage's mussed up hair, they'd tried to fit in a quickie before I arrived. And maybe if I'd driven slower, they could've managed it. “Thanks Sage." I said as I held out the keys to her Toyota. “Swapping cars, huh. Sounds ominous." Elias drawled out in a lazy tone. “I was here earlier. I wanted to do this without draggi

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   101. Suspicions.

    Luca's Pov As far as anyone of us could tell, Andy had no affiliation with Ryan at all. But I knew there was something I was missing. Something very serious. Andy O’hanlan had no surviving children on his old Facebook profile but his current one had the tag #Dad. There were no pictures of his kids anywhere. I was now more than certain this was a cover job. It was a method we used quite frequently. Several steps above donning disguises and blending into a crowd. This was about blending into life itself. Specifically the life of another individual. Either Ryan was far more than some random college kid, or he was a pawn being used by a powerful criminal organization and he wasn't aware of it. I needed to know for sure. Which was why I was now seated behind the wheel of an old black Toyota in the parking lot of Alex's school. The vehicle belonged to Sage and she wasn't too happy about me taking it until I handed over the keys to my Mercedes. Sage had suggested going in dress

    Luca's pov When Sage opened the door to see me standing there, her eyes flew open in shock. And so did mine. She was in panties and a tank top. “Jesus! Luca!" She yelped and after a frantic look around her and realizing there was nothing she could do, she sighed and accepted her fate. “Come in." I chuckled as I walked past her, "Expecting someone else?” "No.” She grumbled stubbornly as she shut the door. Then sighed again, "Elias was supposed to be here later this afternoon. Thought he showed up early.” "We'd better make this quick then.” I teased with a wink and she rolled her eyes at me. "Seriously though, you shouldn't open doors just like that. You'd think with your line of work you'd be a little more…you know, attentive to security.” “Yeah… yeah, I know. I was just caught up in the moment." She shrugged as she grabbed a huge T-shirt from the sofa and put it on. I smirked when I saw it belonged to Elias. "You two a thing now?" I asked as I lowered myself onto her b

    Luca's Pov His moans filled the room as his body convulsed and he came, spilling all over the floor. I felt him go limp against me and I smirked. “Tired already?" I whispered in his ear and he moaned in agreement. “We've only just begun.” I chuckled low and turned him around to face me. His stared at me with eyes half closed and cheeks flush with satisfaction. "You're a good little clean up maid aren't you?” I whispered sultrily to him, holding my hand up to his face. He nodded, his eyes snapping open with renewed hunger. "You've made such a mess. Clean up.” He lapped at my hands, licking up the drops of cum on my hands. He trailed his tongue down to my elbows and back. And then, a shot of bravery on his part, he trailed it up again, to my elbows and past. Till his lips were on my chest. He took a hard nipple on his mouth and I flinched a little as a different sensation of pleasure rolled over me. He rolled his tongue over one nipple and tweaked the other with his ha
