DARINAI have lost my mind for sure. The beast was kissing me, and I had no control over my body. I wanted him, God help me. I’ve never felt this aroused from any man or boy before. He was no boy. He was dangerous. Not that I ever had sex, well, not full-on penetration. I was saving myself for my husband. I guess that was no longer the case…“W-what are you doing?” I gasped as his hands slid up my thighs moving my short dress up. I pressed against his hard chest, only succeeding in bending backwards, making my lower region push up against the bulge in his pants.“What’s it look like?” he growled, “Taking what’s mine.” The expression in his eyes made my heart leap in my throat, not only from fear.The whimper escaping my throat surprised me. Nico turned me around, pushing me up against the tinted glass. Down below I saw the stage where the dancers were performing for the men, gyrating their half-naked bodies on the beat of the music. Others glided down the silver poles, their oil-slick
NICOI was furious. I didn’t mean to say those words to Darina, but the thought of Marcello having his hands on her, on what was mine, had me seeing red. Her grey eyes were dark and huge in her pale face. The scent of her fear washed over me. My mate was terrified of me. Hell, I couldn’t blame her.“Sal!” I roared out and Sal came running down the steps.“Yeah, Nico?”“Take out the garbage. Don’t ice him. He needs to take a message to Marcello.” I grinned at Sal, he understood perfectly. He would give him a beating to within an inch of his life. While Salvatore unchained the man I went over to Darina where she still sat on the chair. I placed my hand on her shoulder and she flinched.The guy landed with a thump on the floor. He scrambled unsteadily to his feet.“What is your name?” I asked, my hand still resting on Darina’s shoulder.“Phillip.” He said, his lips trembling.“Well, Phillip, tell Marcello I find it offensive what he did tonight. If he doesn’t want me to wipe out his org
DARINAGod, I was freezing! He stood in front of me, a giant, naked man – no, he was a beast. A cruel beast. My eyes flitted to his erection. I had nowhere to go. At least the water was warmer. He reached for me, and I turned around. I didn’t want to look at him. He had my body, but he was never going to have my soul or my mind.Nico pulled me against him, under the warm water. In spite of myself, I leant back against him, needing the warmth. His erection against my back - I waited for him to push me forward. But he didn’t. Instead he stroked my arms, long sensual strokes, warming my blood. I closed my eyes, waiting for the inevitable. I was tired.“Good girl. Stop fighting me.” He said, his voice low, hardly above a whisper. “You should have told me sooner that you were a virgin, baby girl. I could have made it special for you.”I shuddered under his touch, unable to speak.What he did next took me by surprise. He washed my body, lathering my back with flowery scented soap, lifting m
Struck by her beauty as she stood there in the middle of the room, looking like a Greek goddess with my black satin sheets draped on her, I was stunned speechless for a minute.I cleared my throat, “What are you looking for, Darina? A way to escape?” I smirked at her.“I was looking for the dog.” She said, her chin lifted a little with that unmistakable defiance glittering in those grey eyes of hers.I snorted. “There is no dog here, my little fox.” The damn wolf forced the transformation last night. We heard her crying on the other side of the door. He wanted me to go back to her, but I refused. So he took matters into his own hands or paws for that matter. It was painful because I resisted. He won.“Come here.” I ordered, holding out my hand to her. She walked to me, slowly.“Kneel.” I pressed down on her narrow shoulders. She had no choice but to comply. “As much as I like our little game, I am late for a business meeting.” I tangled my fingers in her hair, pulling it lightly. “Whe
DARINAI picked at the breakfast Nico left me, an array of fruits, croissants filled with cream cheese and cold meats. I poured myself some orange juice to wash it all down. While snacking on a strawberry, my mouth filled with its sweet, tangy juice I moved around the room, taking in all the different tools of torture he had displayed on the walls and in glass cabinets lined against the stone walls. And the stocks, my God! I didn’t want to imagine what he did with a woman held captive in it.“Oh, my lord…” I touched one of the whips, it had nine tails of soft suede. A shiver went down my spine and for a moment I had a mental picture of him standing over my naked body stretched out on that same table my food was served on. He would be fully dressed and holding that whip, stroking my back with the suede tails before flicking it over my butt. The picture was so vivid, I almost let out a scream, chocking on the juices of the fruit in my mouth.It was insane! My core throbbed wildly from
“Do you like your present, Darina?” he asked, flicking the blue thong away with one finger. Nico pulled me up by the arms, so I stood in between his long legs, looking down at him.“It’s pretty.” I said. “Thank you.” I added. My pulse was racing as I looked into those forest green eyes. Those eyes that looked right through to your very soul.His hand went to my naked butt, caressing it in slow circles making goosebumps appear on my skin. Suddenly it became difficult to breathe.“Do like what I’m doing to you now?” he asked, his voice soft, melting my insides and turning my brain to mush.I couldn’t find my words. “I…” His eyes held mine captive. I felt his fingers probing into my asshole and I gasped, shocked and tried to pull away. He slapped my butt hard.“Don’t do that. I don’t want to hurt you too much.” He growled softly against my breasts, his warm breath making my nipples ache with need.I was scared. No, petrified, and what scared me most was that I might actually like it. In
NICOI smashed my fist into the wall into the corridor, the wall shook, and pieces of rock crumbled to the floor. Bones snapped in my hand only to rearrange themselves immediately. The pain was numbing the pain I felt in my chest. My mate doesn’t want my pups.Was I so repulsive to her that she couldn’t bear to have a baby with me? I closed my eyes, leaning against the wall. My wolf pushed the thought into my head that we must mark her, the mate bond will snap into place, and she will be all over us, begging us to fill her with our seed.“No!” I screamed into the air. The walls echoed my voice throughout the mansion. No, I refused! I wanted her to submit to me willingly, not because of this fucking mate bond. Besides, if I were honest with myself and my idiot wolf, I was afraid to mark Darina. What if she died? What if she turned?My wolf liked the last idea. Yeah, he would. Werewolves didn’t take humans for mates. They were weak. Why would the Moon Goddess do this to me? Did she hate
DARINAI paced the room, and the more I paced the angrier I became. I’ve had enough. Who the hell did he think he was keeping me locked in here like some plaything? He was getting a piece of my mind. I wasn’t going to stay here in this… this prison for one minute longer. No, I didn’t care if I was his slave in his mind. If he wanted to hurt me or kill me, he would have done so already.That thought stopped me, and I froze. He stopped Maria from hurting me. Lord knows what she would have done to me had he not stepped in. Maybe confronting him would be a bad idea. Would I be able to manipulate him in letting me out? He was quick-tempered, and scary as hell. But he was still a man. A man that lusted after me. I had no experience with men, but I wasn’t stupid. Women have had power over men since the beginning of time. I needed to harness that power. Bend him to my will. I smiled at that. He thought he was the Master. We’ll see about that.Was I playing with fire? I was willing to take tha
