A soft moan slipped out of my mouth before I could contain it, my face growing unbearably hot. His leg was nudged in between mine, and since I didn't wear any underwear, I was bare for him.
I was hot and wet, and the feeling of the soft cotton of his pants against my flesh was… lovely. “S-stop,” I stammered, only because my pride wouldn't let me shut up and take this pleasure was being offered. He chuckled softly, his voice low and deep, and by God, it sounded so sexy. Was I maybe ovulating? Did I miss the date? “Say it like you mean it, darling,” he purred, leaning in and licking my neck, “and I might stop.” “Stop,” I tried again, but it sounded even more pathetic than the first one. And that was the invitation this stranger needed. He released my hands, removing his leg and before I could embarrass myself by whimpering and begging him to continue, he opened my robe. “Fuck,” he growled, his breathing harsh. “Fuck, Rosette. Look at those breasts. Like how full and round they are, just begging me to take them into my mouth.” It was dark. There wasn't a single light shining into the hallway so how had he seen me? I couldn't even see what he looked like. I could see nothing. So how? “How–” Before I could complete those words, his mouth was on me, his tongue curling around my nipple, his hand playing with my other breast—kneading and pressing. I moaned, leaning my head on the wall and closing my eyes as hot pleasure consumed me. This was wrong, so damn wrong. My mom married into this family, and whether I liked it or not, these people were my family. So I shouldn't be doing this, but the wrongness of it. The idea that we shouldn't be doing this only made me wetter. And it also made me feel a new emotion—anticipation. I wanted to see what he was going to do next. What heights of pleasure he could carry me to. And that was how my hands raised and wove themselves into his hair, getting all tangled. He groaned his approval, his mouth devouring my breast like it was salvation and he was a dying man. I moaned, my hips moving and seeking something to grind on, anything to relieve this heat. He pulled his mouth away and this time I whimpered. “So needy,” he chuckled and I heard a rustle. Then he was on me again, but this time he pressed himself against my bare body, and I could feel his dick—his bare dick. He turned me around, pressing my chest against the wall. The coldness of the wall pressed against my nipples was so thrilling that I couldn't contain the moan that came out of me. He held my hips and pressed my back down so I was arched for him. “I would so love to fuck your needy cunt,” he rasped, rubbing the head of his cock in my entrance, “but I want to save it for when you can see my face, so you could look into my eyes while I fucked you like an animal.” His dick slipped between my legs and between my folds, not penetrating, but just in-between the folds. Then he moved his hips and we both moaned. “Oh god!” I moaned, my back arching further for him. “Kade, baby,” he growled, fisting my hair. “Kade is the name you should be moaning.” Kade moved again, fucking me, yet not. I closed my legs tight, trapping his dick and he moaned loudly. “Such a good fucking girl. Ah… Rosette, you’re so wet. I wonder what you’ll feel like from the inside. Will you be warm and tight as I hope you will be? Will your cunt suck my cock in like a slut?” I wasn't into dirty talking—or so I thought. I grew wetter the more he talked, my body shaking, my walls clenching and begging to be penetrated. “Look how soaked you are, covering my dick with your juice. That’s so hot, Rosette. So fucking hot.” “S-shut up.” “Do you really want me to? Your mouth speaks one language while your body speaks another. Shouldn't you both be aligned?” I could only moan in response as he continued to move, his dick slipping in and out of my folds, causing the sweetest friction—it was almost as good as being penetrated. And then his hands were playing with my breasts, pinching my nipples. And I was coming with Kade’s name on my lips, my eyes rolling to the back of my head, my body shaking. He groaned, leaning down and kissing my shoulder blade before he bit down gently. Then he was shaking, thrusting hard and fast, his breathing harsh. He grunted once, resting both hands on the wall. He released a breath, his lips still on my neck. Then he muttered in a low, raspy voice, “My name on your lips sounds like sin.” “Well, that was a show.” I jolted away from Kade, turning to see Axel’s figure leaning against his door frame, his arms folded. I couldn't see shit but I could tell he was still naked. And I could feel his eyes on me, burning and hard. “Did you enjoy the feel of my brother’s cock between your legs, Rosette?” I knelt on the floor, searching for my robe where it had fallen. He had seen everything. Axel, that bastard, had stood and watched everything. And now that the cloud of lust had lifted from my brain, I was disgusted with myself. What have I done? Why the hell had I done it?! “You didn't protest like you did with me,” Axel continued, his voice unnervingly flat. “Is it that you prefer cold, heartless bastards? I could be that if you want me to.” “Will you please… just stop,” I pleaded, my voice shaking, still on my knees, and surprisingly… he did. I couldn't find my robe and I was just about to give up and run to my room naked when I felt something soft and warm wrap around my shoulders. Axel was still standing still, so it could only be Kade. I held the robe around my trembling self, got on my feet and ran straight to my room.Kade kissed like he was punishing me. His tongue thrust into my mouth as soon as my lips parted when I gasped in surprise, and his tongue was just as cruel as his lips as it curled around mine and sucked so hard that I moaned into his mouth. I grabbed his collar, but instead of pushing him off and putting an end to this, I dragged him close to me, deepening the kiss. He grunted in approval, dragging me off my seat and pressing my body flushed against his as he leaned against my desk, palming my ass. There was nothing soft in what we were doing, nothing gentle or affectionate. It was simply pure anger and hunger, pure need and guilt. The kiss was our way of communicating because we were both too cowardly to use our words. We were both too… scared. Words were like weapons, and they could ruin things, but when we were like this, our lips glued together, and our emotions going haywire, there were no words that could be used against us la
“He’s appearing in my dreams often these days,” I muttered, any sign of a joke gone, and that stupid, fucking weight was back on my chest again. I didn't need to tell her who, because she knew everything, from A to Z. “Did any major change happen lately?” she asked, her voice sharp and professional. “Or even a minor change is acceptable.”I raised my right hand and showed her my ring finger. Her eyes widened when she saw my ring, but I just waved that look away. “We got married for business. Our fathers arranged this marriage. None of us had a choice.” I paused, swallowing. “But…”My words trailed off, hanging in the air, heavy and suffocating. “But?” Lucia pressed, an eyebrow raised. I swallowed again, scratching my fingers. Why the fuck was it so hard to voice out? “Take your time, Belladonna,” Lucia said, her voice soft and reassuring and I nodded, drawing in a deep breath before I continued. “But things have cha
“And what does that mean, Belladonna?” Gianna asked, her voice soft, her gaze even softer. “‘For as long as it takes?’ That could mean all your life. Are you really willing to forsake your happiness and drown in guilt?” I slump down in my seat, burying my face in my hands. A weight sits on my chest, making it difficult to breathe. “I don't have a choice,” I whispered, my voice creaking at the edge. “And why do you think that?”“Because I'm the reason someone’s no longer alive,” I answered, the weight growing heavier as I spoke. “I had the misfortune of living, so I have to carry this weight. Since I've been cursed to carry on, then I have to carry this weight with me.”“Do you think Luca would want you to be this miserable?”My head whipped up and I looked at her with my teeth bared and eyes wide. I didn't know what I looked like right now, but I know I looked possessed. “Then why the fuck does he keep appearing in my dreams?!
I immediately covered my ears as soon as I heard that voice because I immediately knew; this was a nightmare. “Why won't you leave me alone?!” I screamed, my body shaking. It was a dream, and yet the fear I was feeling was too intense and realistic. “I get it. I'm the reason you’re dead, but this is also your fault. You didn't agree to let me go either. You chose to stay with me until the end. So why is this my fault? Why, Luca?” “You don't deserve to be happy,” the voice repeated, even colder now.“Don't you think I've suffered enough, Luca?” I whispered, now shaking as the cold seeped into my bones. “It’s been years, and I'm still suffering. Don't you think it's enough? You’ve been torturing me in my nightmare for so long, and I've never complained, but right now, I'm begging you, Luca. Let me have this. Please.”“You don't. Deserve. To be. Happy.” “Fuck you!” I screamed, tears streaming down my face. Was this really a drea
BELLADONNA I was drained. The last time I cried like that and let all my emotions out was that dreadful night. Since then, I had bottled up all my feelings and kept them in a tight lid, making sure nothing escaped. But tonight… Fuck, tonight was a lot. I had a bad feeling as soon as Papa invited me to dinner. I should have listened to my gut and turned him down. But I was stupid and too soft and so I paid for it. But what I didn't expect was to find comfort in Kade’s arms. I didn't expect his softness, how he had handled me like I was made of glass. At that moment, he was all I felt, all I could smell, and it almost felt like it was just us two in this vast world, and the dark alleyway didn't even help matters. His soft words, his ragged breath, his raspy voice, his gentle touches and pats, they were a little overwhelming but I don't think I would have gotten through this night without him.
Kross was silent. A minute passed. Then two. I sighed, rubbing my face. “Don't judge me, man.”“Who says I'm judging?”“That silence can only be described as you judging.”“I wasn't judging. I was just shocked. What happened to coming back after five years?”“Hey, who says I'm not coming back?”I could almost see him raising his eyebrow as he said, “You think you could divorce her and leave if your feelings for her grow deep?”“Who says my feelings are going to grow deep?”“Cut that bullshit, Kade. We both know it would.”I sighed again, resting my back against a wall and slumping down until I was sitting on the ground, my knees drawn up and my head hung low, my phone on my shoulder. “You’re not helping, man.”“This is a matter regarding your heart. How am I supposed to help?”“I don't know, man! Talk me out of it or something!” He fell silent, and I knew he was pressing his
