Elena’s POVElena was not confused by Aslan’s behavior. He was acting like she will run away again. She was not allowed to go out, she was not allowed to talk to anyone. Even the staff. Her laptop was seized, and she was kept under a close scrutiny all the time. Aslan himself wasn’t going anywhere. He was working from home, and she was bound to sleep in his bed.Yes, she was bound. He would come into the room late at night and would snuggle up against her like a baby, cocooning her in his large body. She wasn’t allowed to refuse. Two nights had passed this way.Elena was frustrated now. So, when Aslan entered the room tonight, she was ready.“We need to talk.”“No, you wanna talk. I don’t.” He spoke while removing his t-shirt and exposing his broad back. She looked away. She felt the bed dip and his hand came to her chin. He tilted her face to face him.“Speak.” He simply commanded.“I can’t live my entire life this way.” His eyes were on her lips and she licked them as the intensity
Author’s POVHer laughter echoed in the empty space but he couldn’t see her. His eyes were open but it was dark everywhere. He tried to scream her name but his throat was choked. He was suffocating. He could feel himself drowning.Elena felt the shivering and when she turned on the lights, she wasn’t ready for what she saw. His eyes were closed, but his body was shaking uncontrollably. He wasn’t breathing, and his body was covered in sweat.“Aslan.” She shook him but he was chanting something undecipherable. She shook him wildly but he wouldn’t wake up. She was not only scared but horrified at the scene. The mighty Aslan looked like a scared kid. When she didn’t know what to do, she climbed on top of his body and slapped him hard, calling his name.He felt like someone was pulling him up from drowning depth of water. He heard her voice coming from above the water and immediately gasped for breath.She sighed in relief as his eyes opened up and stared into hers.Seeing her on top of hi
Author’s POVHe looked at her beautiful figure. She was looking at him like he will hurt her. Why? He never hurt her. She was his love. Even if she didn’t love him, she could trust him. He will protect her no matter what, from himself and every other person out there, who will try to come near her, but why she acts like he was dangerous? This thing was growing on him.Elena knew that he was in a bad mood, but why? He is a monster. She saw how he advanced towards her slowly. Today, he was not looking sexy, but dangerous, like a Viking.“Aslan…” She whispered, because her voice wasn't ready to come out normal. She was scared. Not that he had ever hurt her inbed, but why is he acting like this?“Sshhhh…. Love. Just answer my fucking questions.”She went silent as his body hovered above hers and his hand went to her nape, his eyes were boring into hers and their noses were touching. His traced her bottom lip with his tongue and electricity flared through her body. She gasped involuntarily

She opened the first box and it revealed a beautiful teal mermaid dress. There were matching shoes and a necklace. She opened the second box and it had a shimmering silver dress with a plunging neckline and almost no back. She knew her butt cheeks will peek out from it. The third box was a large one. When she opened it, she gasped. It had a beautiful dark maroon dress. It had a halter neckline, and a slit on the left leg. It was per
Author’s POVElena followed Blythe and arrived in another secluded room, which was in another wing than where the party was going on. Blythe motioned Elena to enter and she did.The room was a suite but in the living room, there were two men. One of them was a man of around fifty and was immaculately dressed. He had specs perched on his nose and he looked like an intelligent man. The other one was younger, handsome man and had a warm smile plastered on his face. He was a blonde guy with a frecklish but handsome face.She smile at them and walked in their direction. Both of them stood up and shook Elena’s hand one by one.The handsome guy spoke first, “We never knew Mr. Parker had Ms. Phoebe Schmidt right under his nose. My daughter is a fan of your book.”“That’s so sweet of you to say that.”“Hello, Ms. Schmidt, I am Henry Stokes, a lawyer and he is my assistant, Mr. Brooks, who is such a big fan of yours himself that he forgot to introduce himself.” The old man spoke.Elena smiled a
Elena’s POVShe woke up as her bladder was screaming, but if only it had been easy. A giant was on top of her., making her breath coming short. She pushed his heavy arm and sat up half, only to remove his naked leg which was lying across hers.“Please Aslan, get off me.” She whimpered and he removed his leg. She ran to the bathroom and sighed in relief as soon as her bladder emptied. She washed her face, adjusted her nightdress and came back to room. He was looking at her with half-opened eyes. She knew he was finding it hard to sleep. Elena had hidden his medicines and had made him promise that he won’t take them. But he had a condition that she will allow him to sleep hugging her. He was doing it already, so there was no point in refusing.He motioned with his eyes for her to come closer and she slid into bed, but didn’t lie down. He held her midriff and fell asleep in seconds with his head in her lap.She looked at the clock. It was 5:30. He needed more sleep. Last night, she was
Aslan’s POVAslan knew he had hurt his sister but the way she was lashing at Elena, he had to interrupt and no one will accept an excuse because his family loved him blindly. Thus, he had to say those things. he had to spill the truth. But did he do the right thing? He recalled his sister’s face and felt ashamed.He sat down on the couch with his head in his hands when Elena came running to him and hugged him.It was something unexpected but felt good when she hugged him on her own. God only knows what Jo told her. He enjoyed the present moment as her body pressed into his. His heart beat accelerated but he didn’t want to act like a perv.Her innocent eyes told him that she never knew about the shooting attack at the wedding. Then she frowned and sat beside him. He felt empty and cold from the separation.“Did you go church for me?” Her gaze was directed at the floor when she asked and he saw the hint of redness on her cheeks. It made her even cuter.“No, I just went to check if God w
Author’s POVElena had just come out of shower and was wrapping the towel around her when she received a call from Joanna.“Hey…”“Hi Elena, I have told Aslan that you will be joining me for lunch. If he bothers you, let me know.”Elena bit her cheek. She knew another argument with him was coming, because he will never let her step out of the house so easily. She talked to Jo for a minute and then hung up.She stood there talking, and Aslan who had just come to the room after his workout, watched her. She was not even properly wrapped up and talking to his sister. Was it so important a call?“So, she is so eager to go and has already made up her mind?” he thought.“So, you are going?” His dark and sexy voice echoed into the room and Elena shuddered and the towel fell from her hands. His eyes changed their color and he gulped visibly.Aslan was dying to touch her. Looking at her in that moment was same as getting lost in a desert and coming across a fountain, one couldn’t touch. But he
