“I love you so much,” he whispered, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead. She gave a wide, tender grin, his touch warming her skin. “I love you too,” she replied. He watched as her bosom became fully revealed, the gown sliding off completely. He leaned in and placed his lips on her chest; the sensation sent a shiver down her spine. Suddenly, she drew him closer, her hand wrapping around his stiffness and pulling him toward her. His head rested on her chest, his body pressing against her, his hips nestled between her thighs. She wrapped her arms around him as he began to move slowly, his gentle thrusts deepening. She momentarily drifted away in thought, overwhelmed by the raw masculinity she was experiencing. Their heavy breaths mingled as their bodies moved in rhythm. At some point, she looked at him, questioning herself, had she made the right decision playing this game? Her heart wrestled between her feelings for him and the hidden motive that dominated her mind. She was in love with him, in a way, yet her desire to achieve something beyond him still burned fiercely within. She felt it, the sensation of taking control, of defying the roles she had always been boxed into. Her eyes closed again after they exchanged a brief, intense stare, fully immersed in their passionate dance. His movements quickened gradually, and she welcomed every second of it. He planted soft kisses on her lips as she spiraled in the ecstasy of their union. He, too, could feel the height of pleasure building up, heavy and unavoidable. It struck him, this was how creation began. He would release himself inside her, and perhaps she would receive it. They hadn’t talked about this part, but deep down, he believed their love was strong enough to allow such a possibility. They were already in that sacred moment where a child could be conceived. The surge of pleasure consumed him, and she hoped it would never end. He gripped her tightly, thrusting deeper, as though searching for something beyond inside her. He yearned to reach it. As the rush of blood surged through his veins, he climaxed, releasing himself deep inside her. She held him tightly, and he held her in return. They were entwined, caught in the lingering waves of euphoria. She cooled beneath him, her body still tingling from the aftershocks, while he kissed her neck tenderly, savoring the moment. “I love you so much” he murmured, running his hand through her hair and down her back. She said nothing, eyes closed, resting in silence. Inside, her thoughts spiraled. What kind of game was she really playing? What mask was she wearing? She felt overwhelmed by a swirl of emotions; pleasure, guilt, uncertainty. Was she truly pretending? She loved him, didn’t she? Yes, she did. And she enjoyed every moment with him. But was she also using him? Yes… yes, she was. These thoughts simmered within her while he gently rolled to the side, adjusting the sheets and holding her in his arms. She smiled at him, and he smiled back, pressing a kiss to her lips.Leonardo and Scarlet were cuddled up in a sweet, cozy sleep in the master bedroom when the alarm beeped. Leonardo grunted, stretching his hand to disengage it. He couldn't come to terms with the fact that it had been a week since he'd last stepped out of his mansion. He had been so entangled in the pleasure of spending time with Scarlet, exploring the essence of satisfying each other's desires. Not until his phone rang did he jerk up; whatever call came in after this long week away from business was definitely important, he thought to himself before answering."You know it's been a week since you came around the cartel headquarters," Valeria inquired, her voice laced with disapproval."That's why you exist. I trust you are putting things in place," Leonardo replied."You've changed lately. I just wish you could go back to how we were before," she said.Leonardo exhaled, not wanting to have this talk again. Besides, maybe she was right, things had
She halted outside of Leonardo's study, leaning her back against the cold wall, careful to remain hidden.A muffled response from the call followed, one of his men was trying to explain. "We moved too much, too fast. The Feds caught wind of the pattern. If we don’t shift the funds soon, they’ll freeze everything."Leonardo exhaled sharply, his frustration evident. "Damn it. If those funds get locked, we lose millions. The entire operation takes a hit."Scarlet’s mind raced. A flagged account? What kind of trouble had Leonardo gotten himself into? She knew he was involved in the mafia drug trade, but she had never seen him this agitated.Silence filled the room. Leonardo was likely contemplating his next move.To Scarlet, this was an opportunity. A chance to step in and, at the very least, offer a solution. She knew nothing about the mafia underworld, but maybe Leonardo could teach her instead of keeping her isolated in his mansion.
Scarlet had become well-acquainted with the surroundings of the lakeside mansion. She had access to the serene lakefront, complete with a private dock perfect for fishing. The manicured lawns and mountainous landscape were breathtaking. Inside, the mansion boasted a private movie theater and a lavish indoor pool designed for relaxation. A fully equipped gym and yoga studio with mirrored walls and hardwood floors provided ample space for exercise. Additionally, a climate-controlled wine cellar and tasting room housed an extensive collection of fine wines. The advanced smart home system controlled lighting, temperature, security, and entertainment seamlessly. There was nothing Scarlet desired that wasn't already within the mansion. It was a world of its own. Yet, despite its grandeur, she still felt like a prisoner in a golden cage,where the bars were invisible, but the chains were real. She longed to step beyond the lakeside, to escape into the bustling city, to lose herself
When Leonardo arrived at his lakeside mansion, he brought Scarlet with him. She was blindfolded. Cassius had insisted on the blindfold to prevent her from recognizing the route to the clubhouse, he had to protect the reputation of his business. However, Leonardo had a different plan. He wanted to keep Scarlet safe and away from the city until he was certain it was safe for her to return.From Cassius, Leonardo had learned that ever since Scarlet inherited her family’s fortune after her parents' passing, her relatives had cut ties with her in a bid to seize control of the Blackwood Finance Empire. Scarlet barely remembered her background anymore her memory of her real identity was vague, except for one thing: she knew her name.The only truth she was familiar with was the one she had been told—that her mother had sold her into Cassius’s hands.But Leonardo had uncovered the lies. He was determined to erase the falsehoods surrounding Scarlet’s identity. He would take care of her, protec
“I want to purchase Scarlet Blackwood permanently,” Leonardo began as he arrived at Cassius' office. He had brought his entourage of bodyguards, assailants, and henchmen, an intentional display of intimidation in case Cassius refused his offer. Cassius laughed derisively, his tone dripping with mockery. He wasn’t sure he had heard correctly. “Let me get this straight, you, of all people, want to have Scarlet permanently?” Leonardo ignored him. He knew Cassius had heard him clearly. Seated in the armchair in Cassius’ office, he rested his elbows on the chair’s sides, pressing his palms together. His chiseled jaw sat firmly on his thumbs, a calculative poise. At that moment, he wished he had simply kidnapped Scarlet without Cassius’ consent. He knew how this would end. Cassius would refuse. There would be a scuffle. Someone could die in the process. Still, he was adamant. It was either Scarlet or death. “Leonardo, you don’t stick to one woman. You love them assorted. Men like
Now that Leonardo was certain about his feelings for Scarlet, there was only one logical step left, he had to buy her off for good. Even if it meant paying more than he could afford, he was willing to do whatever it took to make her his forever and leave that wretched place behind. But time was running out. He needed to act before the week was over. ~•~••~•Scarlet sat patiently on the sofa in the private suite, waiting for Leonardo. She was clean, well-groomed, and freshly shaved. She couldn’t wait to see him again—to stand close to a man without feeling fear or exhaustion. Fear of being used. Too exhausted to even experience his presence or decipher his true intentions.Hours passed. Five hours into the night, and still, Leonardo hadn't arrived. This was the period when men who had purchased the girls at the auction usually came by. She wondered what was keeping him so long. "You have just been purchased by Leonardo Rutherford. One wrong move, and you'r
