NINA

“What are you doing?”

At my question, he straightened with two small bottles in his hands. As he placed them on the counter, I read the labels: Arnica and Sandalwood oil.

“What does it look like I’m doing? Didn’t I tell you to stay put?”

I searched for something to say and when my gaze dropped to his hand, I blurted out, “You are hurt.”

His eyes followed mine, and he looked down at his hand like he’d forgotten about the cut.

“Let me check it.”

I grabbed his hand by the wrist and both of us froze. It was the first time I was willingly touching him.

But...

There was something else.

I swallowed and cleared my throat as I said, “Let me see your hand.”

His chest moved with a sharp breath and he looked at me with a deep frown on his brows, before he said, “No.”

I ignored him as I crouched down and picked up the first aid box from the cabinet, shifting the brand new bottles of body wash and shampoo in front of the tiny bottle of pills I was hiding from him. I clos

Love this chapter! It shows how much they are avoiding to care for each other but doing it anyway! I hope they give in soon...

  • Twisted Marriage (A Dark MMF Mafia Romance)   169. Can you believe her?

    NINA My husband was hugging me. Who would’ve thought? Certainly not me. But I didn’t care at the moment, I sunk into it. I was melting in his arms like a butter as he engulfed my shaking body. His hold was so tight, almost crushing, and his embrace so warm, I snuggled into his chest. “Fuck. Nina. Why did you leave? How could you leave?” I pulled back and stared into his grey eyes, noticing the dark shadow of fear. “I was fulfilling my promise,” I said as I stepped to the side and gestured at Lachlan who was slowing making his way to us. Jeremiah followed my gaze and a heartbroken breath left his lips before he almost stumbled into Lachlan. They both slid down to the ground on their knees as if they could no longer hold themselves up, and all they needed was the other person. My husband’s hands cradled Lachlan’s bruised face as if he were the most precious thing he had ever held. His eyes searched, frantic, memorizing every cut and swollen scar, and terrified intens

  • Twisted Marriage (A Dark MMF Mafia Romance)   168. Flashback: Half of Everything

    Flashback #10 INNESSA It was astonishing how I could feel him before I saw him. And the crunch of dried leaves beneath his footsteps told me he wasn’t trying to hide his presence like he usually does. And I wondered if it was because of last night. My body stiffened at the reminder. Reminder of how I'd have to share him with someone else if I wanted him. And I should’ve known, with a man like Jeremiah Sokolov who has a body like a god and presence of a monster, I wouldn’t get to keep all of him to myself. When I turned around, I found him only a foot away, his eyes locked on mine with a force that stole the breath from my lungs. Before I could speak, his voice cut through the night. “Do you have an answer?” Right. He wanted my answer before anything.He lifted his hand and wrspped it around my throat. "Will you share me with him?" I licked my lips, my heart thundering as it had been doing so since I learned about Lachlan and what it meant. I asked the question that had

  • Twisted Marriage (A Dark MMF Mafia Romance)   167. Wild and Alive

    NINA The loud shot rang in my ears, echoing like thunder in the attic. My arms jerked back from the force, my shoulder stung, and for a breathless second I stared at him wide eyed, searching if I had shot him. My lungs locked tight, refused to take another breath, until Lachlan’s voice broke through the haze. “Good girl,” he rasped, his voice raw but steady. “Now untangle it from around my leg so we can get out of here, kitten.” Relief surged through me so fast it made my knees weak. I dropped to the floor beside him, fingers trembling as I wrestled with the stubborn chain. The links were warm from the scorching air, and my shaking hands refused to coperate. “Come on, damn it,” I cursed at my trembling fingers. The moment, the chain loosened, Lachlan surged to his feet with a low growl and clamped the back of my neck in a firm grip. His eyes were fierce as he dragged me closer until I could feel the heat of his breath against my temple. “I am going to be the one to punish

  • Twisted Marriage (A Dark MMF Mafia Romance)   166. I pulled the trigger

    NINA My blood thrummed with urgency. There was a constant roar in my head to do something and not just depend on the guards to save him. I walked to the back side of the house, closer to the part of it that wasn’t yet on fire, and pressed my hands to search for an opening. I hissed, my hands jerking back, as the wood was hot enough to blister. But I bent down, rubbed my hand in the soil and then did it again. Sweat coated my forehead as I mapped out the whole backside and didn’t find a way to get in. Soon it will be on fire too. Soon, the fire will reach the second floor too and the house will collapse on itself. Fuck..fuck. fuck. Helplessness tugged at my bones but I didn’t want to give up. I knew if it was me neither Lachlan nor my husband would've given up on me until they had me at their mercy again. Two more guards came around to the back where I was. “Mrs Sokolov, what are you doing?” “Finding a way to go in.” “You can’t do that!” I turned to the one who

  • Twisted Marriage (A Dark MMF Mafia Romance)   165. Don’t leave me again

    NINA The grainy road in the middle of nowhere stretched into nothing but dark woods and silence until suddenly… large yellow and orange glow broke through the tree line. “No.” I heard the horror filled whisper from my side. And when I turned to look at Jeremiah, I found his face pale and eyes dark like he had seen a ghost. “Jeremiah?” He didn’t hear me. And I doubted he was even present as the car stopped suddenly, making me lurch in my seat. And if the skidding sound on the gravel behind us was any indication, the other cars also pulled on their breaks abruptly so they won’t slam into ours. “Jeremiah?” I tried again, but he just opened his side of the car door and stepped out, seeming to be in a daze, staring wide eyed at the fire swallowing the small house. I looked at the mobile, at the red dot, and swallowed. Lachlan was here. Fuck. I stepped out too, hearing the guards filing out from behind. When I rounded the car and came to Jeremiah, he was grippin

  • Twisted Marriage (A Dark MMF Mafia Romance)   Flashback: Will you share me with him?

    Flashback #9 JEREMIAH Innessa stood in the middle of the forest, her foot moving back and forth in an impatient gesture, disrupting the dried leaves on the forest floor. I watched her from ten feet away, hidden behind dense bushes. I had been doing so for last ten minutes. Enough time that even my little shadow got impatient and texted me to do it. But I wanted to savor it. It has been a week since I had her sign the contract. A contract where she promised her first born to me. A week and a day since I fucked her throat while she slept and while Lachlan watched me do so. And then later, he had sucked me off again. After that night, the last seven days, I had given her a glimpse of what it will mean to give me an heir. What it will mean to be mine. I’ve had her on her knees more than I could count. I had licked her and made her come on my face more than I’d ever done in my entire life and that included the time she slept. And then I had kissed Lachlan with the same mou
