The Black Rose Chapter Twenty Two - Stubborn
ELLIEI couldn't sleep that night. I tossed and turned as the night's events replayed in my head over and over again. My teeth gritted, fists clenched as I went over different, alternate scenarios. What could I have done differently? My brother's killer was right in front of me, the man who caused my pain and yet...I couldn't do anything. And what did they say? They were practically saying he was too powerful to be killed...then what's the fucking point? A knock on my door pulled me out from my thoughts, startling my mind back into reality. It was bright. I blinked in confusion as I realized the sun was already up, shining rather brightly through the curtains. Huh. Time had passed by so quickly. I heard the knock again, this time I was fully alert. I came off the bed as I made my way to the door. "Who is it?" I asked. My voice heavy with exhaustion. "Lorenzo," came his stiff reply. "Come down for breakfast." He ordered, then I heard his retreati
The Black Rose Chapter Twenty One - Distraction
NOIR\NERO She was different. I knew it from the first moment I laid eyes on her. She stood underneath that street lamp, her blue eyes terrified—yet—curious at the sight of me. Something shifted in me...something I never knew was there before. Ellie is different. Her scent, her skin, her lips, her eyes...everything about her did all but repulse me. I felt different around her, more sane. Less broken. Less of the man I was. Did I hate it? Did it make me want to kill her like every other woman I've met? Strangely enough, it didn't. Instead it left me wanting. Yes. Wanting. It was a strange feeling, one I'd never experienced. I've never been with a woman, not in the twenty-eight years I've been in this world...I've never had an interest in sex. The thought of it repulsed me, the women all did. And I wasn't gay like Silas always asked. Lorenzo had given up trying to get me to fuck a woman and not just strangle them on sight years ago. He'd achieved the latter at l
The Black Rose Chapter Twenty - You'll See
ELLIE They let him go. They fucking let him go. Silas dragged me out of the club, his large fingers wrapped tightly around my wrist as he pulled me through the string of gyrating, sweaty bodies. I could hear his heavy breathing through the bass that pounded across the club's floors. I could feel the anger in his grip, the heat that radiated off him was one that kept me still and quiet, following him without question. He shoved me into a car, one I hadn't been in before. It was a bright red sports car that looked like it cost millions of dollars. He came into the back seat with me and before I could figure out what was going on, Noir came in through the other side and Lorenzo in the front seat. The car's engine roared to life like a beast, racing through the streets like it was its only purpose and all that remained was that sound. There was a silence so heavy it almost suffocated me with the tension that stemmed from it. None of the men were saying anything and Silas, wel
The Black Rose Chapter Nineteen -The Truth
ELLIE He kept staring, making it obvious that I was the one he had his eyes set on. I guess word hadn't spread as the men wanted it to. Everyone else looked at me like I was off limits, a blade with barbs on the handle. All but him. He suddenly began walking towards me, eyes trained on my figure as he approached. I sucked in a deep breath, suddenly nervous under his unfamiliar gaze. I couldn't tell what the man was thinking; I didn't understand why he was coming over. I didn't have much time to think before he reached the counter and signaled the bartender to his side as he took the stool right next to me. He was tall, almost as tall as Noir, with a lean figure that seemed both athletic and relaxed. His expression gave nothing away, and his eyes remained on me. I noted the golden Rolex on his wrist as he called the bartender over. She looked at him with a rather confused but polite gaze. He was unfamiliar to her as well. Who was he? "Whiskey for me and another round of what she'
The Black Rose Chapter Eighteen - Sensous Silence
ELLIE"Sit," Lorenzo said, making me pull my gaze from Silas and focus on him, gesturing toward the booth with his glass. The word rolled off his tongue like silk, but underneath it was steel. It wasn't really a request—it was a command dressed up in politeness, the kind that made my spine stiffen even as my legs moved to obey.I hesitated for a heartbeat, my eyes darting between the three men I knew and the three strangers whose gazes felt like oil slicking over my skin. Everything about this felt wrong, like walking into a trap disguised as an invitation.Noir's grip on my hand tightened, his fingers warm and steady against mine. He guided me toward the booth, and I found myself sliding into the space between him and Lorenzo. The leather was buttery soft against my bare thighs, expensive enough that it probably cost more than my rent back home. But I couldn't relax, not with six pairs of eyes tracking my every movement like predators watching prey.I was the only woman seated among
The Black Rose Chapter Seventeen - Wrong
ELLIEHis familiar voice was like an unwavering shade in the winds, the first and only thing that kept me sober and grounded since I stepped foot into the club. I knew I should've but I didn't pull away from his touch, not when the warmth from his hard chest seeped in through his clothes on my bare back like lava escaping its years of entrapment in a volcano. I didn't know what it was about him, how me managed to leave me both relaxed and tensed up in his presence. I've witnessed him kill someone, twice. Yet. I turned around slowly, to meet his gaze, his mismatched eyes held mine as his lips curled up slightly. He was dressed in dark washed jeans and what seemed to be a band T-shirt that had a red skull with a long nail running through it, and then on top of it was a leather jacket that caught every glimmering light. Smooth and probably expensive as hell. He looked like a biker, and held a dangerous attractiveness that somehow called yet deterred me. "Noir," I breathed, crani
