All Chapters of Taming A Reckless Heart: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

SydneyDriving southeast, I followed the W. Sunset Blvd. blindly, with no destination in mind. My only goal now was to get far away from my home in the picturesque Pacific Palisades. Keeping a watch in the rear-view mirror, I drove on towards Long Beach. Although it was unlikely that Louis would follow me, I had to be cautious. My custom-built red Land Rover could be recognized even in the darkness. I regretted the impulsive decision to take my car. How would I hide with it? My dad would track me down easily. How stupid could I be? My body longed to curl up in a warm bed and rest. But I couldn’t give in to the temptation. Although there were many hotels in the vicinity, I didn’t stop at Long Beach. My throat felt parched as I drove down the San Diego Freeway. There were so many pubs on the way to Carlsbad, but I avoided them. My car would be a sure giveaway to my presence. Steering the car off the freeway, I drove towards the beach. On the way, my gaze fell on an upscale nightclub,

SydneyI couldn’t let the tattooed killer stalk me everywhere. He would know I had run away from home. With nowhere to go, I was in my most vulnerable state. No one would see if he abducted me and killed me later. I drove on towards Downtown San Diego, and he followed me.What was his problem? Didn’t he have any work to do? I considered stopping and giving him a piece of my mind. Did he think I was underage?‘Don’t even think about it. He’s a criminal,’ prodded my conscience.My gaze fell on a swanky auto repair shop still open at such an odd hour.Joe’s Auto Body Shop.It was huge and looked decent enough. It was my only chance to give my car a new look. In my haste, I forgot about my stalker and pulled up in front of the shop. The lights were still on and I sucked in a deep breath. I had to get this done before sunrise.As I went up to the half-closed main shutters and peered inside, someone cleared his throat behind me. I jumped with fright and whirled around to check. It was a uni

Sydney I opened my eyes to a lot of commotion outside. What was going on? Why were people creating a ruckus? Where was I? It took me a minute to remember my ordeal from last night. I looked around the RV pad and at the neat bed beside me. Hadn’t Killian slept here last night? Where did he sleep?There was silence in the vehicle, which meant Killian wasn’t there. Where was he?I sat up straight, remembering what was in store for me today. Did my dad already launch a search party for me? Did he have my photographs published in every newspaper in the city? Were the cops here already? Maybe that was what the mayhem was all about. Panic gripped my heart, and I dreaded going out to check. My glance fell on my luggage at the foot of the bed. Quickly, picking up a set of fresh clothes, I dashed into the washroom of the vehicle. I might as well stay locked in here than go out to face the music. What if the cops captured me? No, I didn’t want to go back to my house to face my dad. He would p

KillianI glared at her, a wave of deep-seated hatred radiating from my heart for the enemy’s daughter. But it was nothing compared to the intense desire that spiraled from my core. The contrasting emotions confused me, while my body reacted to the nearness. With our bodies fused, all logic fled my brain, and I continued to stare at her. Her mesmerizing green eyes had me under her spell. My co*k swelled against her soft curves, as we stayed locked up in that position for minutes, staring at one another.“Why are you helping me when you hate me so much? Please give me my luggage.” She thrashed to get free, bringing me out of my daze.How could I lose my mind over her? How did I forget how her father had destroyed my family? No, I would never cave in to my desires. This was the perfect opportunity to plan my revenge. It seemed she had no idea I wasn’t helping her at all. I was planning to use her to break her family, just as they had broken mine. It was the only way, and she had to pay.

Sydney's POVKillian was the most bipolar guy I had ever met. He disappeared somewhere, leaving me alone in a secluded tent in the middle of nowhere. The other tents were at a distance, and I would have to scream at the top of my lungs if I needed help. A refreshing shower made me feel human again, and I wandered around the tent, looking for food. The refrigerator was empty, and there was no sign of Killian. What was taking him so long? The tent had a cozy lounge and a tiny dining area as well. But there was no space to accommodate a spare mattress for me. I rearranged the furniture and created a corner where I could spread a blanket and sleep. Satisfied with the arrangement, I walked out to the wooden deck and stared into the darkness beyond. The site was lit up adequately, and I could see miles around me from the elevated hillside. I looked around for Killian when my eyes zeroed in on him near the well-lit restaurant. He was talking to an animated group of tourists while I was dy
