Mag-log inElena's Point Of View He moved before I could take another breath. One second I was on top of him, sinking down slow, savoring the drag of him, and the next the world spun. The blanket rushed up to meet my back, and Jaxx loomed above me, caging me in with his arms, his eyes dark and burning down into mine. Something primal flickered across his face, like he'd been holding himself back for ages and had finally lost the thread of his own restraint. I could feel the tremor in his arms, the effort it took him to hold himself still even for a moment, and the sight of that struggle sent a thrill straight through me. It occurred to me, somewhere in the haze, that I'd never seen him look anything less than composed, and the unraveling of that composure felt like a gift meant only for me. "It's my turn now, princess," he growled, low and rough. "I'm tired of your teases." "Jaxx…" I started, and it was all I got out. He undid me. There was no other word for it. He pulled back and drove in
Elena's Point Of ViewHis belt came open beneath my hands, though I couldn't stop them from shaking, couldn't stop the tremor that ran straight through me at the simple act of undoing him. "Here," Jaxx murmured, and his fingers folded over mine, steadying them, helping me slide the leather free of the loops in one slow pull before tossing it somewhere into the grass. He unbuttoned his jeans himself, unhurried, maddeningly patient, and I wanted to scream at the contrast between his calm and the storm raging through me. "Hurry, babe," I whined, pressing my forehead against his. He kissed the corner of my mouth, soft and infuriating, lingering just long enough to make my pulse stutter. "I'm not going anywhere, Bambina." "You're killing me." "Good." His voice dropped to a low rasp against my cheek. "Now you know how it felt, watching you want me and not saying a word." "You knew?" "Princess, I knew. Every time. The way you'd look at my hands and then look away. The way you'd bite
Jaxx's Point Of View"What are you doing, princess?" My voice came out deep and rough, an eyebrow raised at her sudden burst of dominance. She looked down at me, and instead of answering, her hazel eyes glinted with that dangerous mix of triumph and raw, unfiltered need. A breeze stirred the loose strands of her hair, and for a moment, she looked less like the careful, guarded woman I'd fallen for and more like someone finally letting herself want something out loud. I'd spent months watching her hold the world at a careful distance, measuring every word, guarding every glance. Seeing that control slip now, deliberately, for me, felt like watching a dam give way. "What does it look like I'm doing, Moretti?" "You tell me," I said, dragging my palms slowly up her thighs, savoring the way her breath caught at the contact. "What's come over you?" "You," she said simply. "You're what's come over me. Every damn day since I met you." Something flickered behind her eyes… a spark, a deci
A/N: Hey guys... Pheeww... It's been an awfully long time. wanna apologize for that. (how many apologies have I even given?) HMMM... I've been poor in health lately... I hope this month brings everyone happiness, joy, and goals acoomplishment.Elena's Point Of ViewI buried my hands in her damp, silky hair, angling her face just right as I brought my mouth down over hers again. It wasn't a rushed kiss, but it was heavy, filled with every ounce of raw, unvarnished devotion I had been holding back for days. I took her lower lip between mine, tasting the salt of her tears mixed with her natural sweetness, pulling her into a slow, rhythmic heat that made the rest of the world vanish completely. Every second of distance between us over the past days had felt like a wound, and now that she was finally here, beneath my hands, I wasn't sure I'd ever be able to let her go again. The heat between us grew thick in the quiet garden, the scent of crushed grass and cedar wrapping around us like
Jaxx's Point Of ViewEvery single word she spoke felt like a jagged blade being driven directly into my heart, twisting deeper and deeper until I couldn't breathe. I wanted to stop her, to tell her she didn't have to relive any of it, but some part of me knew she needed to let it out, that the poison had been sitting inside her for far too long, festering in silence while she pretended it didn't exist.I didn't say a word. I couldn't. My throat had closed up somewhere between her second sentence and her third, and all I could do was reach forward, grab her by the waist, and pull her violently into my chest, wrapping my arms around her so tightly she was pressed flush against my heart. I buried my face in the crook of her neck, holding her as she completely fell apart in my arms, her body shaking with loud, agonizing, earth-shattering sobs that echoed through the quiet garden. The sound of her crying was unlike anything I had ever heard before, raw and unfiltered, like something that
Jaxx's Point Of View"You think Cynthia was involved in her own husband's death?" Roman asked, his tone dropping into a cold, dangerous register."It's just an assumption, Roman, and I pray to God it remains that," I murmured, leaning my lower back against the wrought-iron railing of the balcony, my eyes fixed on the distant tree line where the darkness swallowed everything whole. The night air felt heavy against my skin, thick with the kind of silence that only made my thoughts louder, each one circling back to the same gnawing suspicion I couldn't shake loose. "But I still want you to look into it. Dig as deep as you possibly can. The way she spoke about her own late husband today... it unsettled me to my core. She resents him, Roman. She resents him even in death, I could feel it in every single poisoned word that spat out of her mouth. A woman who holds that much hatred for the father of her children doesn't just wake up one day and decide to be a loving mother."On the other en
Jaxx’s Point Of View “Oh… I came to check if you’re still breathing, Matilda.” Her lips parted, her breath hitched, shock painted her expression. She hadn’t expected that. She stiffened in her seat, as though the words themselves burned her skin. And that’s when the old man snapped. “Watch y
