The Billionaire’s Pet 24
Lily's POVI wasted no time in darting away from the aisle. Heart thudding in my chest, I leaned against the wall, trying to steady the erratic organ. I felt as though I was a criminal, running away from justice.He hadn't seen me, thank God, or I knew he would have come barrelling down the aisle, wanting to talk to me.Memories of that day at the hospital came pouring back. I remembered the way that Ricardo man had looked at me, his eyes boring into my skin as though he wanted nothing more than to peel my clothes off my body.At that point and now, I craved so much for Mr Blackwood's protection.But even then, I remembered how Mr Blackwood had frozen on his feet, as though Ricardo had immobilized him. I remember the fear that had flickered between his eyes on that day at the hospital, and I knew that Mr Blackwood had been genuinely scared.Perhaps Ricardo was the only man who could scare him so.Finally, when my heart had stopped beating a tattoo against my ribcage, I let out a loud

Lily's POVAiden Blackwood kept peppering my phone with calls, all the way home. I could feel a headache coming already, and I wanted nothing more than to be alone, to process my thoughts and sieve through them.The events of today were draining, to say the very least. Suddenly, I was scared for myself and my brother as well. Ricardo Gambino didn't look like the man who took no for an answer. And even if I kept evading him, he would keep coming back, until I gave him what he wanted.I glanced down at his business card, running my shaky fingers over and over the glossy surface. I turned the card over and over in my hands, pondering on that scene at the boutique. What was I to do?I did not know whether to tell Aiden Blackwood about the incident or keep it to myself. From the little I knew of Mr Blackwood, I could guess that he would blow things out of proportion and do something that would invariably hurt me in the process.I felt as though I was sandwiched between two decisions.Anoth

Lily’s POVThe fact that this man was on top of me did strange, delicious things to my insides. He stopped kissing me and opening my eyes, I found him gazing down at me.“Trust me?” he breathed into my face.I nodded, wide-eyed, my heart bouncing against my ribs, my blood thundering through my body. I was too stunned to speak.He moved away from my body, standing to his feet, and the sudden exposure left bitter air clawing at my skin. I craved his warmth again. "Stay still, Lily." He called out. "If you move, I will know, and your punishment will be even greater."I smiled. "Is it weird that I am anticipating your punishment?""Haha, stay still." Mr Blackwood replied, his face staying passive. "I'm coming back."Ooh, fun! A voice spoke in my head, and I tried to shush it. Even as goosebumps of excitement erupted on my skin, I tried to assure myself that this was not fun.Leaning down, he kissed me again, his lips tender against mine, and his weight shifted on the bed. Giving me a sm
The Billionaire’s Pet 27
Lily's POVMr Blackwood left the room promptly, the door closing with a click behind him. I watched the closed door for a long while. Then I stood to my feet and began pacing the room, naked and agitated.At this point, I was believed to think that there was more to this than met the eye. How could one man hate touches so much? Why had he kicked my hand away when I had tried to reach out to him? Why did he love to touch me, but hated to be touched in return?Why, why, why? The questions chased each other in my head.A loud ringing came from my phone, and I gave a small start. "Fuck!" I cursed, feeling myself being yanked away from my thoughts.I looked around for the accursed phone, finally finding it amongst my pile of clothes; the ringing was coming from the pocket of my trousers—or Mr Blackwood's trousers.Picking up the trousers from the ground, I rummaged in their pockets, my fingers finally closing around the vibrating device. Pulling it out, I stared at the screen and saw that

Lily's POVI found my way to my feet, feeling comforted by my conversation with Mira. And at the same time, I felt numb all over.What she had said about Mr Blackwood hating touches from females kept ringing in my head. Several possibilities ran through my head, as to why he was that way. Was he secretly gay? Was he abused in his childhood?It felt as though I had more questions than I began with. But this time, I was determined to know more about the man who fucked me almost every day. He had so much access to me, my mind, and my body. Why shouldn't I have the same?I picked one of the new hoodies and threw it on, wearing absolutely nothing underneath. I glanced at myself in the mirror as I got ready for dinner, again noting the rosy cheeks and bright skin. I was widening as well, growing plumper around my middle.The woman staring at me in the mirror returned my smile. If there was anything I was totally grateful for staying in Aiden Blackwood's house, it was the fact that he took v

Lily's POVBoth of his hands were on each side of the door frame. My eyes roamed over his body, taking in the ridges of his biceps, the hard lines of his face, the long, smooth expanse of his neck, the long, obsidian-black hair that seemed to tickle his neck and face.My throat immediately went dry, as I felt the wetness between my legs again.I folded my legs, feeling a delicious sensation as my naked inner thighs rubbed against each other. "I was merely keeping Cook company."Aiden Blackwood glanced at the elderly woman, then back at me. "I am pretty sure Cook can handle the kitchen on her own, quite alright.""I guess—""You shouldn't be in all that smoke." He continued, as though he hadn't heard me. "Let's go to the dining room."Mutely, I stood from the chair, allowing him to steer me out of the kitchen by the elbow, following closely behind me. As his hand touched my elbow, I felt a sudden jolt, remembering how he'd kicked my hand away when I tried to touch him.Quickly, I pulle

Aiden's POVJoe's eyes met mine, and I felt a tiny flicker of fear in my heart.I gripped my knife and fork hard, glancing at Lily. Did she suspect anything? I doubted it. All that was on her white-looking face was confusion and a little fear.A close call, I thought.My gaze darted back to Joe. "What is it, man? What news? Spill it."Joe glanced at Lily pointedly; it was a mere flick of his eyes, but I got the message. This news was best shared in private.Quickly, I pushed backward, the chair making a scraping sound on the floor as I stood to my feet. I crossed the table to Lily, who looked as though she'd just seen a ghost."Come on," I ordered, my fingers going around her upper arm. "Dinner's over. Go to your room."Lily glanced down at her plate of half-eaten hash browns, and then up at me, vivid green eyes full of confusion. My stomach fluttered at the sight of her, staring up at me from below, but I shook my head to dispel that thought."Come on!" I repeated this time my voice

He turned a corner and disappeared, leaving me standing against the wall.My breaths came out in shallow gasps, as I clutched my chest for dear life. His sudden outburst had caught me off guard, leaving me reeling from the unexpected confrontation.I slid down the wall, sitting on the floor, trying to process this onslaught of emotions.
