I sat up now, fully alert.*I knew them alright.The men had been part of the diabolical plan by Dmitri to kidnap me and sell me as a sex slave. I huddled into my husband’s warm, safe embrace.“And …?’ I whispered for I knew that there was more to come.Lucien sighed and gave a half laugh.’Witch,’ he grunted, “you know me too well.. .’I looked up into his eyes and what I saw there chilled me to the bone.Lucien sighed.“Woman. Paddy was onto them. ‘*So they had tried to kill my boy Paddy, because he had found out the connection between the imposter who had claimed to be my husband’s offspring and the Dmitri family?I stiffened and tried to free myself but he held me.’You need to listen to me, Proserpina.' he commanded.I looked at him as he went on,‘The boy has excellent skills at hacking and he found out more than I had bargained for. He discovered Cole’s true father was…’My eyes widened, and I met his gaze, the grey eyes filled with a rare pain as he looked past me.’Shark.’
RiaShe gazed out dully as the large Hummer ground to a halt. They had parked on a deserted part of the road, by the side, the forest beside them. At this time of night, the road was almost deserted. Not many people were eager to traverse this part of the woods at this time.Philippe reached out and shook her shoulder gently.“Princess, wake up.’ She turned to him, her eyes empty.‘I was not sleeping she wanted to cry out but she did not say it. Instead,“Why have we stopped here?’ she asked softly, a little bewildered but trusting in the young man who had been her Knight when they were growing up.He was already out of the vehicle and she saw that there were a couple of other cars on the road, one ahead of them and two behind them. A number of men had spilt out of the cars and she could make out their dark silhouettes, the low voices addressing Philippe.His men, his crew, she thought as he opened the door and lifted her out as easily as if she was a feather.She looked about herself
RiaShe noticed that he had also draped a muffler around his face, in such a way that he looked unrecognisable. He was also sitting forward and his entire posture resembled an old man, bent with age.The little car trundled along and then she could no longer hear the sound of vehicles driving, like bats out of hell, in the other direction.After a while, he looked back and she sensed that he was relieved, if slightly. He let her sit up and as she opened her mouth to complain, he said tightly,‘The Rudenkos are on their way to Erin Dorsey’s place; those were their cars.’Ria stiffened and then her body slumped.The same men who had kidnapped and almost sold her mother as a sex slave; the men who were responsible for her father almost dying? she thought in terror.*Her large eyes on Philippe were filled with fear. Without looking at her, he reached out and took her small cold hands in his, tugging her into the warmth of his body and this time she did not resist. The men in the front se
RiaInterrupting her thoughts rudely, the man sitting in the front, behind the wheel of the small car, growled,“Boss.’ the warning note in the man’s tone was not lost on Ria and she felt her body stiffen. Philippe ran a hand over her head absently, trying to convey some reassuring message but she was too tense to respond.*Ria watched as the interior of the car was suddenly illuminated by powerful headlights. The sound of five or six large vehicles roaring past, made her tremble as she felt Philippe’s body tense. She sensed that he was alert and his hand was on the gun at his waist, one hand on her head, making sure that only the top of her head would be visible if anyone looked in from the cars zooming past.Her breath quickened.What was happening?*She noticed that he had also draped a muffler around his face, in such a way that he looked unrecognisable. He was also sitting forward and his entire posture resembled an old man, bent with age.The little car trundled along and then
Melissa Lord She looked across at her husband crossly. They were sprawled, naked and sweaty after a long session of wantonness, of downright kinky sex, on the large bed in Tristan Lord’s house. She sighed and rubbed her sore behind, smoothing in the lotion her husband had been tenderly applying before the phone had begun to ring. Her husband had spanked her hard before thrusting his c*ck into her and she had been mewling as he mounted her and rode her roughly, the way both of them liked.Smiling like a satisfied cat, she watched curiously as he picked up the phone on the nightstand and immediately, tensed up, turning on the large reading light on his side of the bed and sitting up to take the call.Now she rolled across, tugging at his flat nipples as he spoke into the phone, low and urgent. Squirming as she climbed onto his lap, she flicked her tongue daringly across them before nipping at them.Who could be calling at this ungodly hour, she thought in some irritation, her curiosity
Ria She stared at him in astonishment and growing rage. Surely he had to be joking.Jabbing her forefinger at the offensive bed in question, she snapped, her tones low and filled with agitation as she tried not to shout and disturb their old host.'Philippe, are you kidding? I will NOT spend the night here on the same bed with YOU.’*The Capo measured her coolly, his large, muscular arms folded across his massive chest. His expression was unreadable but his hot black eyes were watching her unblinkingly and she had the strangest feeling that he wanted her as badly as she wanted him.Ria swallowed, the hunk in front of her was the only man she fantasized about; but she would be damned if she would allow him to take her virginity here, in this tiny, cramped room smelling of mould and old clothes, mothballs and age.Glaring at him, she stood, hands on hips, breathing heavily, her angry eyes on the man observing her, his face otherwise a mask of unflappable unconcern.They could be talki
RiaAfter practically wolfing down the slightly stale bread and cheese, Ria gulped down the water and sighed. Of course, it was nothing compared to Mumma’s superb cooking but …she had been so hungry.And the bed now stood in all its shabby dignity, between them as they tried to arrive at a truce. Ria swayed in tiredness as a wave of darkness seemed ready to engulf her. She sighed and admitted to the truth of his observation.*The only time she had come close to giving up her virginity had been with Ronnie Prouse, a senior at school, and that had been at Prom Night. She had gotten drunk for the first time in her life on the spiked punch and the boy had also had dark hair and tanned skin, reminding her vaguely of Philippe. He had not gotten around to deflowering her, for a friend had called her name when one of Pappa’s bodyguards had come looking for her. She had hastily pushed the sweating, stumbling Ronnie with his uncertain, clumsy hands, off of her and run away. She had never known
ProserpinaTrying to focus on the objects in the room, I tried to calm down, my eyes sweeping over the large room.I had adorned it with some beautiful pieces of art, each of which had been lovingly selected over time, from the places I had visited or gifts from my friends.One such was the large painting was the one with my friend, Melissa Lord and her children; it had been done by her former lover, Ethan and it was brilliant.Melissa’s entire body language showed the desperation she was feeling at that time in her life. Her sons were perched on her lap, the baby with his thumb in his mouth, the older one watching his mother apprehensively.My eyes riveted on that, I sat sunk in the gloom as Lucien held my hands, while Claude jerkily moved to the bar where he sat on a high bar stool, looking wretched for having interrupted our sleep.Finally, my breathing having slowed down, and I turned to my husband, the man who had just made passionate love to me.Meeting his eyes fiercely, I said
