All Chapters of His Dark Devotion •The Monster Bride•: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Author’s POVThe night fell, and cold air drifted in through the open window as Declan sat in his chair, a wine glass in one hand and a cigarette between his fingers. His face was stone-hard, his jaw clenched tight.“So who’s going to lead the Stone Gang?” the man seated next to him asked, frustration clear in his eyes.“Ethan,” Declan stated flatly.“Wow… what a great idea,” the man mocked. “Declan, you clearly know how short-tempered he is. He can’t handle it.”“Do you think Xavier is any less? He has fucking killed his own men when he’s angry,” Declan snapped.“But he knows when to act and when to hold back. He can handle the clients, and his approach is much sharper,” the man defended Xavier calmly.“And you’re forgetting Mission 378. It was Xavier who agreed to handle it after a lot of effort, and now you’re cutting ties with him,” the man continued, trying to reason with him.“And don’t forget they only wanted Xavier to handle that mission. How careless can you be, Declan?” he h

Author's POV He turned her around sharply. She stood there like a goddess, only in her innerwear. Her breaths were unsteady, hitching as her eyes landed on his desire-filled ones.Iris gulped down, her hands sweating as she tried to form steady words.“Xavier, we-” her voice got stuck as his thumb rubbed over her lower lip.“Shh.” He pushed her against the wall beside the door, taking her lips in his, dissolving her gasp in his mouth. One hand tangled in her hair, pulling her into him, while he locked the door with the other.Xavier’s lips moved wildly against hers, biting, sucking the life out of her soft petals. His hand moved to her waist, wrapping around her as he pulled her up onto his hip.Her hands clung tightly to his shoulders in fear as she flinched at his movements. His hand ran over her body, and with a flick of his fingers, he unhooked her bra, freeing her breasts.His movements were aggressive, taking her breath away. She tapped on his shoulder, running out of air, as he

Xavier's POV Her breathing was getting calmer and deeper, indicating she was in deep sleep, wrapped in dreams. Was she dreaming of me?My fingers were playing with her hair but stopped as I looked out the window. It was evening, almost seven pm.Fuck… I forgot the track of time. I had taken her until my desire was satisfied, draining all her energy. I don’t know when I opened my eyes or for how many hours I had been watching her sleep curled up in my arms.She made me feel peace a home, and everything that I needed but didn’t even know I needed. There was something different about her.I went against everything for her. I don’t know what got into me that I was ready to leave the Stone Gang, my position everything for her. When my father put her and the gang against each other, I didn’t even have to think about it. The answer was already on my tongue before he could finish.I wanted her. I needed her.My little thing.My goddess.She was controlling me unknowingly. She had me all wrap

Author's POV Iris’ eyes closed as a shaky breath left her lips, her nails digging into his flesh for support. One of her hands instantly gripped his shoulder.His hot breaths were crashing against her wet core. After planting a feather kiss on her shivering flower, he pulled back slightly, blowing hot breaths over it. Her whole body trembled.Xavier sat on the chair while burying his head between Iris’ legs, pinning her on the dining table. He had thrown one of her legs over his shoulder to get better access to her shivering flower.He had just started, and she was already trembling in his hold. She was all sensitive from their last activity. Her core was sore after all his aggressive actions.His lips touched her inner thighs with soft, gentle, yet fire-setting kisses, shocking her.His hot breath fanned against her core as he breathed out, his fingers moving and parting her petals.A trickle of wetness dribbled out of her core at the touch of his fingers.“Fuck,” he cursed, his bre

Author's POV Elena walked, her heels clicking against the floor as she took unsteady steps. Her eyes were dull, and her hands were shaking slightly.She pressed the password, opening the door of her penthouse, and walked inside the luxury apartment.She couldn’t walk much with her nearly collapsing body and her aching heart. Her body collapsed roughly onto the floor, her hands tightly pressing against her chest, trying to ease the heavy aching feeling inside.Her breathing grew shorter and heavier.Those green eyes turned glossy as tears started to fill them, slowly rolling down her cheeks before falling onto the floor.“It hurts,” she cried out loudly, her body shaking with her sobs as she pressed harder against her heart.“Why?” she sobbed. “Why me?”Her hair was scattered across the floor. The elegant woman from a moment ago was now a mess on the ground vulnerable.“Xavier… please,” she whispered through her cries.Her hands became wet with sweat as her body trembled. Sweat covere
