KIRA’S POVA dull ache throbbed through my body as I stirred awake, my limbs heavy against the cool sheets.Confusion wrapped around me like a thick fog as I slowly opened my eyes. The sun was out, but the only light in the room came from the faint glow of the city filtering through the shades.For a moment, I wasn’t sure where I was. My eyes adjusted, taking in the unfamiliar bedroom, and then… like a wave crashing against the shore, everything came back to me.My crazy shopping spree Antonio killed his cheating ex at his wedding.Drinking and laughing with Antonio and his friends.Breaking into Averys fathers park.Adrian killing that woman.And then… sex with Adrian.My face burned as the memories of last night slammed into me. His rough hands. His lips. The way he had made me orgasm… multiple times.I buried my face in the pillow, groaning softly. I felt sore in places I didn’t even know could be sore. Every inch of my body hummed with the aftereffects of last night, a constant,
ADRIAN’S POVAs I got to the harbor, Ying and two other men were waiting on standby by the entrance of the harbor. I had ordered the men to take the fuckers to one of my offshore harbors—far enough that no one would hear their screams.“Boss,” Ying bowed slightly, the other two behind him followed suit before all four of us went into the berth, where the men who had tried to rob me waited. “Have you questioned them?” I asked and Ying shook his head. Ying shook his head. “Yes, Boss, but they refuse to talk. We not sure how far you want push, so we tie them up, wait for you.”I nodded and signaled for the man stationed outside the door to open it and barely three steps in and I was suddenly hit with a strong metallic bitter almost smell. It was thick and heavy in the air. “What the h—” Almost immediately, my memory got triggered and I hurried further into the berth only to see a large number of dead men, bound from head to toe by thick ropes, their skin had several bright red and p
ADRIÁN’S POV“One… Four… Fifty-fucking-nine… One hundred.” I counted nothing while staring into nothingness.I turned to my side, eyes drawn to the slow rise and fall of her chest, her plump, perfect breasts moving with each quiet breath.Her brows creased—a flicker of discomfort, a nightmare taking hold.My hands curled into fists. Was she dreaming of something terrible? Of someone hurting her?I wanted to crush the nightmare. Rip it apart and make it better.She moved slowly, and the blanket moved from her body, and her perfect perky breasts came into view.I watched her pink lips pout slowly as she slept, and my cock resurrected again. I envisaged savaging her, devouring her pussy while she slept, wondering how she would react to that.I moved a strand of her wild brunette hair from her face and she sunk into the pillow, her legs brushing against my cock unintentionally. “Fuck!” I stiffened.A crazy thought ran through my head. No…more like a shipment of them.Thoughts like pinni
KIRA’S POV“Fuck,” he murmured, pulling back slightly, his lips were swollen. He glared at me as though he were searching for something. I peered at the woman lying down lifelessly on the floor.“There is literally a dead woman right here Adrian,” I whispered as though he could hear me. I whispered as if she could hear me.He stared at me for a beat, the same unreadable expression on his face, before letting out a sigh, or was it a curse? I wasn’t sure. I was too horned out to care.And that’s a problem why?” He raised a brow, looking at me like I was the crazy one.I scowled. “We’re disrespecting the dead. I can’t have sex in front of a corpse! What if she starts haunting my dreams?”His lips curled into a smirk. “Who said anything about sex?”Whatever ecstasy I had felt before instantly evaporated.Shit.How stupid was I to assume we were about to have sex? He must think I’m a desperate, sex-craving mess.God, this is so embarrassing.“I—I, um, I thought w-we—”Before I could finis
KIRA POVI take it back…Adrian Vasilios was a heartless bastard who didn’t deserve an ounce of kindness from me.“Kira, wait,” his voice chased after me, urgent, relentless.I pretended not to hear him and continued walking.He has nothing to say to me?I ignored him and kept walking, my vision blurring with unshed tears. I had no right to cry… we weren’t a couple, we weren’t even speaking, but that didn’t stop the ache in my chest. He’d had her in the kitchen where we eat. God knows what had already happened before I walked in.Before I could reach the spiral staircase, a rough hand grabbed my wrist, stopping me in my tracks.Damn, my short legs.I spun around, yanking my arm free, and shot him a glare sharp enough to cut. He stared at me with something infuriatingly soft in his expression. His shirt was back on, but his belt hung loose around his waist, and his hair was still a mess, a damning reminder of exactly what I’d just walked in on.“What do you want, Adrian?” My voice was
KIRA’S POVI threw on a regular tee, having no idea what Antonio had planned for us—or even where we were going. But I wasn’t worried. Unlike Adrian and his other men, Antonio seemed more relaxed, almost laid-back. I had no doubt I was in safe hands.Antonio told me to meet him in the penthouse garage, and for some reason, it didn’t even cross my mind to mention that I had never been there before. Thankfully, one of the hotel guides who had brought in my luggage showed me the way.When I arrived, I found Antonio leaning casually against a sleek blue Lamborghini. And wow…the car was gorgeous.But what really caught my attention was Antonio himself.He had changed into a tux, the kind you’d wear to an important event. He stared at me, rubbing his hands together before huffing in clear disapproval as he assessed my very simple outfit.Suddenly, I felt like I had done something wrong.I was underdressed.“So, did you have something important planned?” I asked, tilting my head. “You don’t
