“I think you’ll find out soon enough, Seraphina, that I’m not one to take no for an answer.” I don’t flinch when he steps closer. My eyes shut against their will as I tried to swallow the anger running through my veins at his words. “Certainly not orders from daddy's gi—” Slap! ***** When Seraphina is forced into a marriage with Lazaro to secure peace between their feuding families, sparks fly—both of desire and destruction. Lazaro doesn’t believe in love, only in possession. Seraphina refuses to be owned. As enemies close in and secrets unravel, the line between hatred and hunger blurs. -----
View MoreLazaro’s POVI woke up to sniffling sounds, and I peeled my eyes open, lifting my head slightly to find Seraphina on her knees, her back turned to me, her shoulders hunched, her hair falling all the way to her face.I paused, furrowing my brows as my fingers moved to massage the spot the bullet had slammed into.Thankfully, I’d had my bullet-vest on. And it has blocked off the bullet. “Are you..crying?”She quickly whirled around, her eyes wide. “Lazaro!” She cried, quickly crawling forward. “You bastard!” She continued, slapping my back. “I thought you’d died! But I couldn’t understand b-because there was no blood. Thought about calling someone, anyone, but—“I suddenly placed a finger against her lips, drawing close to her. “Shh,” I murmured, reaching up to wipe the tears that stained her cheeks, “that’s enough.”“You don’t understand!” She cried, trying to shove my hands off. “I was—““Worried about me?” I completed, running my gaze lazily over her rain-soaked frame, my eyes linge
Lazaro’s POVTHREE HOURS EARLIERA knock sounded on my office door, and Jaxon strode in moments later, closing the door quietly behind him.I pulled my gaze from the screen of my desktop to settle it on his face, assessing his features.The tight clench of his jaw told me something wasn’t right.Or a number of things. “What is it?” I demanded, sitting up.He paused a foot away from my desk, resting his gaze on my face. “It’s your wife, she left the house.”I said nothing at first, quietly waiting for him to land properly, because we both knew he hadn’t.“She’d snuck out sometime around noon, in an old, deadbeat car,” Jason added, his arms crossed behind his back. “She went to her brother’s school.”I cursed under my breath, kicking my legs out under the desk. “She did, huh?” I muttered, tapping my finger against the desk and staring off into the distance.“I told you, Lazaro,” Jaxon continued moments later, his voice keen, “she isn’t to be—““Well that’s why I asked you to keep an ey
Seraphina’s POVMy hands were steady on the wheel, my mind whirling with different thoughts and emotions, as I drove across the bridge, speeding towards the route that led to my new shelter.A subtle sense of relief settled deep in my chest.Somehow, I’d managed to convince my brother to leave the city.Secretly, of course. And I’d done that without having to mention to him that his name was on a mafia Don’s kill-list.All I’d said was that it would be a good opportunity to escape his mafia responsibilities, as the next heir in line in the Alvarez household.Dante could be really brave, but I still didn’t want him panicking in any way.He was my little brother, after all. Even though he would one day have to continue in the footsteps of our father. And he very much didn’t want that. So, after we’d come to a conclusion, we’d agreed to meet at one of the abandoned illegal boathouses on the outskirts of the city, where he’d board a boat to wherever of his choice.We’d agreed to keep th
Seraphina’s POVI fired up the engine across the highway that led up to my brother’s school, speeding at an alarming km/h, and saying a silent prayer in my heart that I don’t bump into the traffic officers today.I needed to get to my brother as soon as possible, and get back home, before anyone notices.Ever since that public dinner that night, I’d left the stubborn mule a string of texts asking to meet up, as I’ve been sick worried that Don Julio might decide to strike anytime, without warning, and end my brother’s life.I couldn’t let that happen…Dante might be a pain in the ass, but I loved him. Adored him.I wouldn’t sit by and do nothing, like my father.Fifteen minutes later, I revved the engine into the school’s driveway and got out, glancing at my wristwatch.It was past 12 noon already, so this was probably lunch break?I peered over the gate to see students pouring out of the classrooms in groups of two and more, some trickling out alone.I was right. Lunch break. Now, ho
Lazaro’s POV“Ow! Why does it have thorns?!” She exclaimed, sucking on the skin that got prickled.“To remind you that I don't do fluffy love. And I'm not the best man to bring out those gentle fantasies to life. This is the real me, Mi Cara.”“Maybe that's what I want.” She murmured, giving her thumb one more suck, my eyes darkening when her eyes sparkled with the same fire from last night.“You don't know what you're saying.” I pressed my lips into a thin line. “Now, stop sucking on it. I'll give attend to it for you.”“I'm not going with you in there asshole until you apologize for—hey! Put me down!”She thrashed around on my shoulders with the rose still in her grasp, but I ignored her and opened up the medical cabinet, taking a plaster and an ointment.“Put—” Thwack! “Me—” Thwack! “Down, Lazaro!”“You know, for a woman, your slaps really, really hurt. I won't forget this action of yours when I'll be fucking you later on.” I hissed but ended up laughing softly when she dramaticall
Lazaro's POV I hope she didn't see how hard I was right now. I didn't plan on fucking her this morning but with the way she was testing me—even in my damn sleep, things might spiral out of control if I didn't focus on keeping my breath as steady as possible.I could still feel her gaze on me, devouring my body as much as she can. Taking in what had her screaming in pleasure last night, wanting to touch it again.However, she ended up shaking her head, cursing under her breath over and over again.It seemed like she'd remembered her advances towards me, but I was relieved in a way seeing she didn't regret any of it.I tried so hard not to burst out laughing at how adorable she looked when she covered her ass on her way out, almost as if she didn't believe I was asleep.She was even more perfect last night.She handled my fingers and mouth so damn well that my dick started to stir painfully in my pants for control. Fuck, no woman has ever made me this nervous and obsessed in my entire
