She is only, but an arm reach away from me. I have the absolute burning desire to pull every inch of her body into mine. I need her closer to me than we have ever been before. But I am frightened. The thought of losing her feels like hot knives piercing me, stealing my breath. So I move but only an inch closer. I watch as she wants to move away, but yet she stays. Maybe this is the sign that I am waiting for. “Princess, please, can we go talk? Please, if only for a second, can you please just listen to me?” Watching her hesitate kills me, but I can see it in her eyes. I know my princess’ eyes; I know that somehow I have reached her. “You have five minutes, Christian.” I softly lace my fingers in her hand and lead her to one of the farside dancing booths. I know that she will not go with me to the office; this

The time has come. I have my princess back. I need to focus on business, and this means that the war is now truly going to start. I shall need to express to her that I am still going to go after her father. All I need to know if she shall remain by my side no matter what happens.Now, I think to be true to myself; I am going to admit that Joseph shall not make it out alive. It has always been my intent to get revenge for my father in the same way he was taken. But I will be the one taking his life. Joseph was a coward, well I am not one. His time has come, and the seconds are ticking.But I am not going to make it easy; of course, I am going to play a little cat and mouse game. I want to see him suffer; I want the fear to ravage through his body until he cannot think straight. This is not going to be easy; in fact, it is going to be hard, and it is going to get very ugly.I need to have my princess on my side, but it is not every day that your fiancé tell

The stage is set.It is early morning in the Caine house. My princess is sleeping, and only Mason can be found in the kitchen. The boys went out last night to enjoy what will be one of the very rare evenings that they will in a while.Now, if I said to you that this does not lie heavy on my shoulders, then that would be a blatant lie. I have a handful, rather make that two, perhaps even more, but I have a shitload of lives on my hand that I need to protect.The one that concerns me the most is lying upstairs peacefully sleeping. The little vixen with her short hair that is now very blonde. I must say that I am not a man for blonds, but this little blonde is starting to grow on me.Mason, who has been staring at me, daydreaming for about a minute now, hands me a cup of warm coffee, “It is good to have her back, really back.”“God, Mason, I just hope she stays.”“Hey, boss, she loves you, and that father of hers h

I would love to say that everything is back to normal, but Veronica was just the start of it. The rest of Joseph's crew are bound to start coming over. Now the question is, do we run? Or do we stay here? I don’t know if my princess can take another move again. She has been between so many places in such a short amount of time, and I think that she is starting to feel at home here. But this is not a decision that I can make alone. So I have called a meeting to hear the rest of the residents here in the home.Ya, but getting Cassandra out of bed is proving to be difficult; the little vixen cannot keep her hands to herself, and she is driving me absolutely crazy in a good way.Very reluctantly, she follows me downstairs; now I have not paid much attention to her following me, so as we come to the kitchen, which seems to be too early for the rest of the house is still fast asleep, well, I turn around.“Princess, don’t you think that you need to cha

We are park close to the house where Joseph’s lover lives. We have not seen much movement inside, but I can safely say that we need not have to ask what he is doing. How wicked it would be to catch him off-guard the way he is at the moment.Now I am in the back with Cassandra, still holding firmly onto the grip on my gun, when there suddenly is a knock on my window. As I snap my head to the left, I watch in an inch of a second as Mason jumps out of the car. The next thing I see is him shoving his gun into the back of the man.I recognize him immediately; he is one of Joseph’s men; he must have spotted me and thought he could be brave enough to take me on. Next to me is a rather terrified woman,“Cassandra, get into the front,” I yell as softly as I possibly can. The last thing we need is to cause an alarm for Joseph to come outside.Mason opens the door and tries to shove the man inside, “Shut the fuck up and get into the car
