All Chapters of Their Fatal Obsession: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

FinnThe Omni William Penn Hotel, a luxurious location in the heart of downtown Pittsburg, had been chosen as the host for the event. I’d spent several nights in the fine establishment while wining and dining prospects. Tonight was all about giving back.As we walked into the ballroom, I was surprised the staff had managed to turn the stunning expansive room into a beautiful representation of Monte Carlo, complete with dozens of gambling tables. While no money changed hands, that didn’t seem to alter the festive atmosphere in the least.Several charities were being represented, every guest required to pay a hefty entrance fee.Allen moved in front of me, scanning the large crowd, a sly smile on his face. “Very nice.”“This should be a spectacular evening,” Daniel laughed as he flanked my side.Within seconds, a waiter approached with a silver tray in his hand, offering what I expected was expensive champagne. While the two others accepted a glass, I waved him off. On a night like this

AriannaArrogant.Unscrupulous.Bastards.I continued to repeat the words in my mind over and over again just to be able to keep the smile on my face. I abhorred the three men, everything about them. I’d spent hours studying their deceitful tactics, learning every weakness they had. While they might have studied me as well, they certainly didn’t know about my roots, or what my father had done for a living.He’d been a powerful poker player, winning millions of dollars on the circuit. He’d been considered one of the best, never allowing his opponents to catch a single glitch in his facial expressions, body language, or methodology.And he’d taught me everything he knew.I could remember standing just behind him, studying every move he made. Hours spent. I’d enjoyed the closeness we’d shared, which was rare at the time, my father spending half a month on the road. His winnings had provided my sister, mother, and me with a beautiful home and his children with fabulous educations. He’d ev

AriannaThe bastard was goading me, acting as if this was a normal business transaction. I smiled sweetly, even managing to brush my lips across his without reacting. The shock when a bolt of electricity surged into every cell and muscle left me breathless, my skin tingling. While I did everything in my power to pull away, Allen used my faux pas to his advantage, pulling me against his massive chest.I pressed one hand against him, able to feel his rapidly beating heart. It seemed to match mine, the erratic beats like small claps of thunder. My legs quivered, my mind trying to wrap around why I’d have this kind of reaction to a man I couldn’t stand.He dragged me onto the toes of my shoes, sliding his arm around me as he crushed his mouth over mine. His lips were soft, luscious in a way I couldn’t fathom. No man was supposed to feel this good, the kiss like a long walk on a spring night. I was floored, stars floating in front of my eyes as the moment of intimacy quickly turned into a

Arianna“Where are you taking me?” I demanded for the fifth time. They’d shoved me into a huge black SUV, locking the doors. Even the windows were tinted so no one could see inside. Who did they think they were, true celebrities? Muscle men?Maybe the cartel.I almost laughed, although I remained jittery as hell. All I could think about was how stupid I’d been at the press conference. I hadn’t just been playing with fire. I’d caused an inferno. At this point, I wasn’t certain I could handle the three of them together.Together. They’re going to fuck you.My inner voice just wouldn’t shut the hell up.“We’re going to club that happens to be a favorite of ours,” Allen answered.Oh, God. Oh, dear God. They were taking me to some horrible BDSM club. I could only imagine what they were planning. “A club?” I managed, more uncomfortable than ever. This I hadn’t planned.“Absolutely. You are all dressed up, a beautiful creation. It would be a shame to waste such a gorgeous dress when the nigh

AriannaI had no way of knowing how long the show lasted, but when it was over, I continued to stare at the stage, trying to process what I’d just seen. I felt an odd sense of loss, a haunting sadness that made no sense to me.“Finish your drink, Arianna. There is much more to see.” Daniel’s words filtered into my ears, but I couldn’t bring the glass to my lips, my stomach in knots. I lifted my head, studying his face. He was pensive, but I sensed his continued arousal as well, his eyes now half closed as he stared at me. There was no doubt in my mind these three men were going to use me.Spank me.Taste me.Fuck me.Allen pushed the wineglass toward me, his dark presence overpowering. I managed to take a few sips, the delicious taste soothing at least one of my senses.Daniel took me by the hand, leading me away from the table and toward one of several corridors, the others following. When he stopped at one of the closed doors toward the end, he didn’t bother knocking. That’s the mom
