Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 131 - チャプター 140

Alex's Pov I heard his voice calling out to me from someplace far. “.....get moving." Strange thing to say in the middle of the night. Sleep took over again. The next time I gained consciousness, Luca was yanking me up from the bed and thrusting a wad of clothes into my arms. “Put these on." He growled harshly. “And be quick. We don't have much time." He hurried into the inner office. “Wh..what?" I mumbled as sleep struggled to clear from my eyes. My limbs still felt like jelly as I tried to tug the sweatpants on. The sight of the guns Luca brought out from the office woke me up fully. All at once the muscles in my limbs remembered how to work and they tensed up. “What's happening?" My voice was shaky and I was pulling the clothes on in record speed. “They found us." He said slipping a bullet clip into the handgun and doing something with the bigger one that made it click multiple times. I assumed he was loading bullets into those as well. “They? Who's they?" I listen

Luca''s Pov The boy really slept like the dead sometimes. We should've left the motel an hour ago but I tried to wake him and he didn't budge so I decided to let him sleep a little while longer. When he groggily opened his eyes, it was well past dawn. “Good morning Sleepyhead. Time to go." I said with a snort as his drowsy gaze fell on me. “I slept?" He jerked up, voice raspy. “Yeah and we should have been on our way an hour ago. Need to freshen up?" There wasn't any time for a bath so we were both out and on our way in ten minutes. There was another hour of a drive ahead of us. I hadn't called Elias yet. Or anyone else for that matter. I wasn't sure who the attackers were and who ordered the hit. I hadn't seen any of their faces and they'd all been wearing black outfits, masks included. My first thought was the Butcher but that was only because of the thinly veiled threat the previous day. The drive he'd given me was tucked securely in one of the jacket pockets. I was

Alex's Pov Sage made me a cup of coffee. She'd asked if I wanted beer at first and I had held back from asking, ‘Isn't it too early for alcohol?’ She seemed nice. Although she didn't speak to me much, clearly almost as socially awkward as I was. I didn't mind that. I wasn't sure I was in a speaking mood either. Elias was a familiar face but he didn't seem happy to see me here. To be fair, when has he ever looked happy to see me? I had been a chore he had to tolerate for his boss. Nothing more. “So," Sage began, clearing her throat and gingerly sitting in the armchair across from me. “You go to school here?" “Yes. I'm a sophomore." “Oh that's awesome." She cleared her throat again. Small talk wasn't her strong suit. “I didn't go to college. Couldn't afford it. But then later I could and I just…” she shrugged. “And you just what?" She blinked at me like she hadn't expected me to ask. Frankly I hadn't expected myself to ask either. “Well, I guess I just didn't see t

Luca’s Pov We took a plane because Elias didn't want to go through a three hour drive with a sitting powder keg. He'd taken one look at the grim set of my jaw and the intensity in my eyes and decided going through airport security would be better. I didn't argue with him. I'd had enough of an argument the previous night and this morning as well, I was pretty much exhausted. Alex was being impossible. Gratingly so. I'd never, in my entire existence, had to sit there and have my authority questioned by a... a fuck buddy? Using the word plaything or toy didn't fit anymore. None of them would be able to get me this enraged and live to tell the tale. They wouldn't even dare. Matter of fact, Alex wouldn't dare two months ago. And even now I could tell he was still wary of me. But he was somehow also determined to get his concerns heard. I got us a new apartment, fully furnished. It had only taken one phone call. We stopped to get a phone and he was pretty excited when I told

Luca’s pov Saint Ardent was a fishing town. You couldn't escape the smell of fish. It was everywhere. And it felt like the document had been exaggerating on the small town part. Under exaggerating to be exact. The town was tiny. “Intel says we can find Andrew Reinhart at the docks during the day and at home with the family at night. But his wife, Miranda, is visiting her sister two towns away with their two year old daughter so Andrew would be home alone.” Elias rattled off as we walked down the docks. The sky was overcast in a depressing shade of grey. It was going to rain soon. We'd found some clothes to better blend in. Khaki shorts, a white shirt for me and powder blue for him, sandals, hats and to make it more 'believable’, Elias had on a fisherman bag and he'd rented a boat. I didn't see the point. We weren't supposed to be here for long. But Elias liked this part of our jobs where we got to play dress up so I didn't question his decision. It didn't take us long to spot
