All Chapters of One Night Stand series : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

The silence was unbearable when he left, she had seen the way he had looked at her. Something had flickered in his eyes, maybe it was her imagination but it got replaced so quickly for her to prove anything.She slumped on the massive bed, her knee aching so bad. She was tired and couldn't wish for anything but to be tucked away in her own bed, not in Nathan's.She tucked her knee close to her chest and her arms wrapped tightly around them as if that would shield her from the storm raging inside She had tried to escape the cruel reality only to end up here. “How stupid can you be, Leah" If she had her way, she would be far from the city now.And maybe then she could get her parents to listen to her but all that was ruined by Nathan. She turned to the window, was she thinking of escaping again! Her tears had slowed, but her chest still heaved with sharp, uneven breaths.Tired, she sank deeper into the bed. She should stay guided in case Nathan comes back again. She didn't trust him to

Leah's heartbeat thundered loudly in her ears, as much as she wanted to resist whatever that's going but her legs were too weak to move. Her body still burning from the kiss they shared, it was clear they needed each other to extinguish the fire.She watched Nathan visit hovered above her and could help to fix her eyes on him, the silk sheet cool against her back as she relaxed unto the bed and as much she wanted to talk herself out of this. Her body ignited fire only him could quench. Every move he made was deliberate, commanding, as if he already knew she was too entangled to escape.Her trembling fingers clutched at the bedspread. “Nathan… please.” But she doesn't know what she was begging for. Maybe they should stop or maybe .. he should quench the fire that threatened to light her body to flame. And when she stared into their eyes, it was clear that they were not going back as he silenced her with a kiss that was almost punishing in its hunger, his lips claiming, taking, devou

Leah could hear the clattering of cutlery, the low murmur of voice as she approached the dining hall. The maids had attended not long after Nathan left the bed leaving her engrossed in her thought.“Can't I skip breakfast? Instead she had met their skeptical expression and she could tell that the question raised fear within them. She didn't say anything but instead allowed them to help her with getting ready.She didn't want to expect in her new home and it made her scared. She pushed open the door and instantly the aroma hit her, the smell of bacon, toast and freshly oven bread. Her stomach rumbled only then did she realize how hungry she was.“Look who we have here" The voice at the center of the table caught her attention, as she found Nathan’s father's hard glare fixed on her. Edwardo, the drug lord.“We have our new bride here" Laughter erupted from the men sitting at the table, her body ran cold as she stood and faced different men with a hard etched expression.One had a scar

His hand slid up my thigh, his lips tracing fire along my neck as my body burned with aching need until I reached my climax.“You taste so good,” he murmured, his green eyes locking onto mine, dark with hunger as he savored every second of his desire. And then he claimed me again harder, deeper until we were both left breathless, burning and exhausted, unable to go any further.“I can't stop craving your body, Leah. It's the only good thing I've gotten from the marriage" My heart paused as I stared into that eyes, for a moment it looked lost…distance.“Get lost, Nathan! I pushed him away and rolled out from the bed. Dragging the sheet and wrapping around my naked frame. My legs still wobbled under the desirable pressure, despite desiring him….it wasn't what I wanted.“Wo!!! Why are you so angry?! I stared blankly at his face while he laughed, laying at his side. “I thought you were enjoying yourself"" Go to hell” My throat tightened as my eyes blazed in anger. "I don't want to sell

Leah clutched the wheel tightly as she drove at high speed. She had waited for an hour after Nathan left to leave. Mira had spared her a smile but said no more. Leah wondered if she was worried that she would rat her out.She would never, Leah has given her word. But right now, there was something more important. She had only one focus, to find out what Dark Hour was and why Nathan didn’t want her anywhere near it.The city lights blurred past, neon signs flashing like secrets meant only for those bold enough to chase them. Leah parked two streets away, slipped out, and walked toward the front of what looked like a club.The bass throbbed through the walls, deep and steady, like a heartbeat she wasn’t supposed to hear. A line of people snaked outside, but none of them looked ordinary. Too polished. Too sharp. Men in tailored suits with expressions carved from stone. Women whose eyes glimmered like they knew something she didn’t.And above the blackened doorway, etched into the stone,
