Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire 89. Pain Not Pleasure.
Alex's Pov Again, I didn't go after him. This time around, I didn't message or call him either. I felt my heart break into a thousand pieces but I told myself it was for the best. Everything was moving too quickly. We had to slow down. And if Ryan didn't want to slow down, if he was choosing to get pissed off at that well… well there was nothing I could do about that was there? It was easy to tell myself that. But my heart was saying something else. It told me I lost a chance at a happy ending. A chance at having a stable partner. A chance at being loved again. I crawled into my old bed, not bothering to take off my clothes. I curled up into a fetal position and just laid there for a while. I wanted the tears to come but they didn't. My eyes stayed stubbornly dry. What I felt was more numbness than anything else. I didn't know when I fell asleep. When next I opened my eyes, the sun was just beginning to peek over the horizon. I woke up in a panic at first. It had bee
Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire 88. Someone Else.
Luca’s Pov On my way up the stairs I battled with the decision of barging in. It felt odd that I was even reconsidering it. I should have no problem with it. Normally, I wouldn't. He was my property. Mine. I owned him. For the next three months, he was mine to do with as I pleased and that included humiliating and punishing him when he disobeyed me. So why was I being haunted by guilt and pity? Why was I slowing down as I climbed the last flight of stairs to his floor? Maybe the little guy just wanted to go home? He'd renewed his lease with the money I gave him obviously and he must've just wanted to be away from the penthouse for a little while. Back among his own things, his own space.His own home. Was that such a bad thing?He was disobeying me and going against the parameters of the contract he signed but maybe this once, I could be understanding towards him. I'd uprooted him from his life, turned his world around in a matter of days. I could give him this one little dose
Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire 87. Discharged.
Luca's Pov Petra reduced the dosage of the tranquilizers so I only slept about half a day at a time now. I still hated it, but I had to admit I did feel better and stronger than I would have if I'd simply let nature take its course. Whenever elixir the doctors had come up with for treatment worked like magic. I got no further visitors till Monday afternoon. Elias popped his head around the door. “Ah, you're up. The nurse outside said to check if you were." He shimmied in and closed the door behind him. “Not sleeping as much. And I feel really good." I smiled up at him and dropped the book in my hand. “Cool, cool. I heard them say you might get discharged tomorrow. Apparently you recovered quicker than they thought you would.” He grabbed the chair and sat in his usual way, with the chair facing backwards. “Oh thank Fuck. I was beginning to run mad in here. They only let me read books. Not even good ones." I groaned. “Awww, reading is good for you. And you need to read
Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire 86. It's Complicated.
Alex's Pov The restaurant was packed on the ground floor but we were taken to a private dining area on the roof. I had thought it was going to be just us and was already wondering how Ryan could afford that. But it turned out to be a normal dining area just way less packed than the one downstairs. And it needed special reservation. There was only one couple seated at the far right and they looked to be having a tense argument. “Would you be ready to order right away?" The smartly dressed waiter asked as we took our seats. “Not yet. We'd like to browse a little. But we would like a drink first. Right, Alex?" Ryan turned to me with a smile. I wasn't sure what the protocol for fine dining was. But Ryan looked right at home here. Like all this was a normal Tuesday evening for him. “Sure." I nodded and watched in awe as he mouthed off something in French. Obviously the name of an expensive wine judging by the way the waiter's eyes widened in admiration and the respectful bow
Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire 85. Proper Date.
Alex's Pov Mint. That was the first thing I tasted as everything around me seemed to come to a stop. It took three seconds for my brain to catch up with what was going on. Holy shit Ryan was kissing me!I realized I'd frozen up again and quickly kissed him back before he sensed my lack of reaction and took his lips away. Both his hands were on either side of my cheek and his head was tilted to the right as he moaned into my mouth. I could feel my belly kicking up into flutters but not as much as I had thought it would. I kissed him back, reaching a hand up to tangle in his hair. When he pulled away, his eyes were misty with lust. “I've always wanted to do that. From the very first day I saw you." He said sultrily. “Yeah. Me too." I heard footsteps coming round the corner and I quickly pulled away. A girl with messy hair and huge glasses appeared around the corner and Ryan and I pretended to be intensely looking through the spines of the books on the shelf. The girl pai
Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire 84. A Confession.
Alex's Pov I didn't go after him. I should have. I wanted to, but I stood rooted to the spot as he walked out of the apartment. I stood there for a long time, just staring at the door while the movie continued in the background. When I was finally able to get my bearings, I moved on autopilot. I grabbed the plates and glasses and took them to the kitchen area. I mindlessly tossed the remnants of the wine into the sink and the last of my meal into the trashcan. I did the dishes, all the while thinking of nothing and everything. I went back to the couch and sat staring at the TV as another movie began playing. I looked to where Ryan had been sitting and saw that he'd left his cap behind. I shut my eyes and groaned. I should have gone after him. I hadn't meant to speak to him that way. I hadn't meant to hurt him. I didn't want him as a partner yet but I didn't want to lose him as a friend. I had to find a way to make him understand that. Make him understand I didn't mean what
