[Erin] Nikolai’s gaze flashed. The moon’s light held responsible for the glint shone into his hues, allowing me to see his raw countenance with what I have stated.This is wrong. I must be mad for saying those nonsense things to him. He didn’t see me as anything aside from being his possession.Why am I doing this? Why am I feeling this way? However, why does it feel right? Why did his every touch flare something inside me that could not be quenched easily? The fire of his fingertips burns me every time it grazes my skin.“Doll, you’re killing me right now,” he groaned, curling his hand around my back in constraint, pressing me closer to his tightening arousal while his fingers swiped around my areola. The corner of his jaw clenched tight, and his brows furrowed deeply as he blew sharply into my face, fanning me with his hot breath.My tongue came out of my mouth without my conscious awareness, and I found myself licking my bottom lips while fighting the need to moan. My brain was fo

[Erin]The following day came, and I roused alone in the bed.Micah must have woken up much earlier than me as the side of her bed had been long cold and the sun penetrating from the heavy drapes shining directly into my face.I raised my hands to block the sunlight and squinted my eyes while pushing myself up from the mattress, releasing a loud yawn. Stretching my arms above my head before edging myself to the side of the bed and swinging my feet, standing and going towards the drapes, pushing them to let the light inside our room, just as the door opens.“You’re awake,” Micah came in, pushing a cart table carrying on top was my meal. “I thought you’re going to be asleep till the afternoon,” she added, opening the stainless steel cover and revealing a roasted chicken and carbonara pasta full pitcher of lemonade.To confirm what she said about me oversleeping, I throw a glance towards the wooden table next to the bed and look at the flip clock, seeing that I have indeed woken up a bit

[Erin]Micah and I couldn’t help but smile the entire journey to our destination. To have our suspicion right, these hooligans could speak our English, and Nikolai set off a security convoy for us today. Two other vehicles followed us and another two in front while we traveled in the middle at maintained speed. Nikolai being an excessive man, did take this tour of us seriously when he said that I would be going but with a bunch of security following around us. Now I feel like someone’s VIP daughter.Micah's face was jammed up against the glass of the window. As she took in the sights that unfolded before us along the route, her jaw dropped in astonishment at each new panoramic scenery. Italy is such a beautiful country, and each and every architectural masterpiece was just mesmerizing. I even noticed myself having my mouth opened the entire time while I looked at the place we passed through. We have no idea where we are going first, but as we have written in our itinerary, we came a

[Third Person’s Point of View—Nikolai]“What do you mean, they haven't been found!” Nikolai's booming voice reverberated around the squared-off room in his conference room. Everyone at the long table was startled by his outburst and looked at him in bewilderment, wondering what terrible news he could possibly be hearing to provoke such a intense reaction.He was in an important meeting with his business. They have to fly all the way from Russia to Italy for this matter because he was not in a good mood on this particular day following the incident that happened between him and Erin in the islet. It was indeed unforgettable, especially the passionate moment they shared. The heat that was building up between them as he buried himself further and more inside of her. To experience for the first time with a woman the exploding sensation of her warm depths, something Nikolai has never felt before with any other woman. Those beautiful groans that she was making. Her lips were the source of t

[Erin]I am beyond astounded to see Flavio standing straight in front of me without any scratches or anything else that would suggest that he had been taken against his will through compulsion. In point of fact, he was grinning broadly and boastfully as he towered over me while I was strapped to my chair in the center of this awful basement with no idea what on earth was going on.My conscience just won't let go of the fact that I had in some way drawn an innocent man into a situation, and I was just agonizing over the possibility that something dreadful must have happened to him. Or that he departed because he was afraid for his life and that we did not adequately compensate him for his service before he left. I was so conflicted and perplexed by what was taking place, and I had no idea what to do, yet here he is now. Standing ever so fine in front of me.After seeing him, I have no doubt that Micah is as dumbfounded as I am.“Flavio, what is the meaning of this? What are you doing h
