Alex's Pov

I had angered him again. Or at least I thought I did. His mouth was set in a firm line as he grabbed his jacket off the floor. He was avoiding looking directly at me. He'd been doing that since he walked in. I couldn't say for certain though, seeing as I had been avoiding his eyes as well.

I couldn't look at him. Not after what he'd done to me the previous day. I had gone around trembling like a kitten in the rain. Every sound spooked me, my skin felt too sensitive.

Raw.

And when I came back, at exactly a quarter to 6p.m, I'd almost cried as I took my bath to prepare for him. Because I knew he'd be back. And I didn't know what to expect this time. Was today the day I died? The day he finally killed me for disobedience? Or would it be another punishment? One more severe than the last.

Now, I felt even more scared than before. There had been a brief moment of relief when he'd climbed on behind me. Relief that this was just going to be sex. Rough certainly as that

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   163. Reveal.

    Alex's Pov The world slowly came into focus. My head felt like it was stuffed full with cotton swabs. I was strapped to a chair, the leather biting into my skin. I was sitting directly facing two doors that seemed to be moving towards each other. One. It was one door. I blinked, trying to bring my eyes back into focus. My throat was dry, and my mouth felt like it was covered with scales. I couldn't feel my feet which told me I must have been in this position for quite a while.The details from the previous day trickled back to memory slowly. Luca's phone call, running away, hitching a ride. Oh God Mrs Holden! The incident replayed itself in my head. In slow motion. Her surprised and mildly angry expression from seeing the car stopping on the road then turning into one of shock at seeing the gun. Her mouth slowly forming the word but not quite getting it out fully before her brain got blown out onto the headrest behind her. She died because of me. I thought she was in

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   162. Right Under My Nose.

    Luca's pov I was amazed to find the safehouse did have all the ingredients for making peanut soup. Dara only made it a handful of times but I hadn't cared much for it back then. I had no idea why I suggested it to Alex but now it felt like I had an obligation to see it through. Either that or I was simply using the activity to keep from thinking of what lay ahead. If I'll be able to do what lay ahead. Either way, cooking turned out therapeutic in a way. I'd forgotten how much I used to enjoy doing it with Dara and Ollie. She cooked a lot in the early days and taught me to. All that teaching came in handy when we moved and she had to work multiple shifts. I took over cooking for Ollie and me. Although most times we just ordered pizza or cheeseburgers. But I could make a mean Mac and cheese and I had been close to perfectly replicating the taste of Dara's spaghetti and meatballs. Until….. Cooking both calmed and upset me. Couldn't cook without remembering the past. Couldn't re

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   161. Abduction.

    Alex's Pov She chuckled, “Hello Alex. It's been a long time." “Yeah. Yeah it's been." I blinked rapidly in surprise. For one thing, it was comforting seeing a familiar face from the past. The Holdens didn't live right next to us. Or on our street for that matter, but Joanne Holden was the kind of woman to be neighbors with everyone. She was at our house at least once every two weeks bringing either a pie or casserole, and was on almost every organizing committee at church. She had three kids, neither of whom I was close to. My sister Sydney had been friends with her daughter Priscilla for a short while but they'd broken things off in a rather messy cat fight at school. Syd had only terrible things to say about Priscilla from then onward. “I'm sorry I didn't recognize you." I said with a nervous laughter. “Oh that's ok. It's been what? Seven years?" “Six." I cleared my throat. Questions. They would surely come. And I could see no way out of it. Even if I didn't answer the

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   160. Hitchhiker.

    Alex’s pov I crouched low, keeping my body to the wall as I tiptoed to the front of the house. I prayed with everything in me that Luca was busy doing something else. Maybe asleep or cooking his peanut soup. If he catches me, it'll be over. My life would be over. I had only one shot to get this right. I didn't plan on taking the exact path we'd come in through. I just needed to keep it in my sights as I ran through the woods so I wouldn't lose my way completely. There was no signal on my phone to use the GPS and I knew there would be no signal for a long while yet. I glanced up at the wall and saw a red light blinking. Cameras. They would alert him. I couldn't get caught. With a panicked gasp, I made a run for it. Straight into the woods. I didn't worry about going off the oath anymore, I just ran. As I passed the clearing where the cabin stood, I recalled Luca saying something about the security measures around the perimeters. That was at the other cabin that had blown up

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   159. Escape.

    Alex's Pov My dreams were troubled. Tumultuous. I kept reaching out for something and never getting it. I ran after someone constantly. Sometimes it was Matthew. Most times it was Luca. He stayed stubbornly out of reach. I kept drifting in and out of sleep. I knew I'd fallen sick. Couldn't understand why or when I'd caught the flu. I knew Luca was in my room but I couldn't remember much from the previous night when I woke up the next morning. There was a dent on the other side of the bed telling me he had spent the night. Also, his clothes were on a chair in the corner. We couldn't have had sex. I would've known if that happened. A delicious aroma wafted from my left drawing my attention to the plate of sandwiches on the nightstand. My stomach growled in response and I reached for them. As I took a bite, I found myself smiling. Luca had taken care of me. Made these for me. As quickly as the smile came, I wiped it off. No amount of care could erase what he had done. And

  • Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   158. No Heart to Hurt.

    Luca’s Pov I kept watch over him all day and through the night. The fever didn't get as bad as it was in the morning but the mumbling through bad dreams didn't stop. I tried shaking him awake a few times but he'd go right back after a few minutes. I decided there wasn't much I could do about that but let him ride it out. He ate only a little more of the soup later that evening and I forced him to swallow a few aspirin pills. If he was getting any better, it wasn't evident yet. I spent the night in his room, too worried to leave him all on his own. He wouldn't let me leave for long anyways. Each time he woke up, his eyes immediately searched around for me. And just before he would drift off to sleep, he would ask that I lie with him. It was a bittersweet feeling and my chest constricted painfully each time, knowing this was only because he wasn't feeling well. When he recovered, he would still want nothing to do with me. And that was okay. I savoured the moment. Holding him
