ETHAN COLE

VAR knew about my existence before I even stepped into the academy. That must've meant they had personally given Nina the flier.

I stared dazed at the screen before me, my mind lost in thoughts.

The thought that I had had freedom all my life till I walked into their godforsaken academy was haunting.

Something crawled under my skin, the memory of my time in Alba suddenly felt fake.

Maybe meeting Nina cost me so much. They needed that guilt of killing someone I cared about to

  • The Bodyguard's Secret     Bestial Creation

    ETHAN COLE “The plan is simple, we all just need to play our parts right,” Winnie said, her eyes scanning our faces. “Shoot,” I said, more eager to hear what she had to say. If we wasted any more time, VAR would've caught on to us, and that… no one wanted that to happen. “Ava would get kidnapped.”That one line made the room go quiet in an instant. Ava snuggled close to me, gripping my palm tight.“What the...?” She raised her brow, holding me close. My body stiffened, heat spread through my body, sending a tingling sensation down to my toes. I had to put this attraction aside… for now. I narrowed my gaze, peering into Winnie's face, searching for a clue on what she had in mind. Then it clicked, but before I could say it, she sighed. “Hear me out. To get access to Serena's base, we need to surrender you to Seth. You endure his nonsense and at the last minute, we start our raid.” No. It didn't make any sense. I wasn't putting her or anyone in danger with such ridiculous pla

  • The Bodyguard's Secret    A Little Depraved

    AVA DUVAL An agonizing pounding slammed at the back of my head, my gaze felt unsteady and amidst the hazy dots caused by the headache, my surroundings were pitch black. I inhaled deeply, dust clogging my nostrils. A cough cracked through my throat… fuck, even breathing was so much effort. The cold feeling of the room bit into my skin, and it was evident I wasn't in the comfort of my home… or the basement. I tried standing, maybe the lights were off, but that also caused me pain. My hands were tied to a chair, and each time I tried to untangle it, the wire pierced my hand, sharp pain coursing through my body. “Shit,” I cursed, gasping for air. Where was I? The last thing I recalled was Ethan's lips on mine, hands stroking my waist… then… “Ahh…” I gasped as a tight bag was yanked from my head. Air lodged into my throat, but it wasn't fresh air. A stench so foul rushed through my lungs, instant regret washing over me. My nose wrinkled.What the hell was going on? My eyes c

  • The Bodyguard's Secret    A Plan

    ETHAN COLE We stood round the table in the basement, hoping to hold another meeting that won't end up a mess like the last time.Ava stood beside me, her fingers brushing mine sending warmth through my body. Hopefully, this meeting would go as planned. “I know we all have reasons why we want to betray VAR–” Winnie started, her gaze reaching everybody including me. “Maybe sharing that would remind us of why we're here.” No. I wasn't going to do that. I knew why I was here, and so did everybody. If that wasn't enough motivation then what was. I scoffed. “What's this? A therapy session?”Ava punched my arm, giving me a stern look. “Don't speak to her that way,” Zero hissed, glaring daggers at me. For all I knew, telling my teammates that I murdered Nina would make me feel even more terrible. Winnie knew that. She knew so much about me, the same way I did know her. Then why did she bring it up? I was more eager to finish that bastard organization than any person in this ro

  • The Bodyguard's Secret    Steamy in the Weapon Room

    AVA DUVAL He hurled me up onto the table, some files flying across the room. Without one bit of hesitation, his lips melted into mine, I leaned back using my hands to keep from falling. His large hands grabbed my waist, pulling me closer to him. Close enough to feel the warmth from his body and his hot breath washing my face. His lips brushed past mine, shaky and needy. We were making the same mistake as a few nights ago, but this time, there wouldn't be any awkwardness, or regret. I let his soft cedar scent intoxicate my thoughts while he grovelled like a good boy. A soft moan escaped my lips, emotions choking my throat. His hand moved to my dress, his fingers hurriedly working with the buttons. My breast popped out as soon as the last button came open. Ease spread through my body, a gasp leaving me. “I've missed you… so much,” he said between our kisses. When we parted, we stared at each other for a while, huffing… catching our breaths. Then he dove to my neck, bitin

  • The Bodyguard's Secret    The Right to be Angry

    ETHAN COLE Those fierce eyes stared right back at me, like if she had the power to kill me, she would. She was stubborn as ever, and staying with my teammates wasn't helping matters. I stepped closer, stealing the blades from her. “Hey!” She protested. My hand gripped the center where the two blades had joined to form a two-edged sword. Ava jumped up, stretching her hand to reach the weapon, but she would have to grow three boots taller to be able to reach it. “Don't fight it, Ava,” I said, moving away from her. “I'm guessing she told you about Seth?” I asked, although that wasn't news to me. I had been watching them since they were on the computer. Talk about stalking your love interest. Ava folded her arms over her chest, giving me the nastiest glare. “Were you watching us?” She spat, obviously aggravated. And as blunt as I was, I affirmed. “I like to use the term protecting.” A crooked smile appeared on my lips while I checked out the blade. She muttered somethin

  • The Bodyguard's Secret    Noctis!

    AVA DUVAL I stepped into the basement in time to see Lily furiously typing on the computer. The keyboards clacked loudly, and her focus seemed unmatched — straight face, dead eyes, and a slight twitch in her lips. After that chaotic meeting, I spent most of the time with Winnie. But today, she was cuffed with her boyfriend in the bar above talking about whatever interested them while smooching. No, I didn't want to see that. Ethan didn't stay in the basement, and even if he did, I was in no mood to talk to him. Taking a deep breath, I casually walked towards her, giving an awkward wave. She seemed to have sighted me because she shrugged, then pulled out a seat for me beside her. “What are you doing?” I asked, peering into the screen as I sat down. In the most serious tone, she answered, “Trying to put some bugs in your organization's system.” I raised a brow, looking suspiciously at her. “What did you say?”“That was a joke.”Oh. Lily turned the screen so I could see
