All Chapters of The Criminal I Crave: Chapter 61 - Chapter 68

Melody's POVI began to tip toe towards the door, hoping that he wasn't coming up the stairs and he wasn't. Once that was clear, I tip-toed down the hallway towards the window when suddenly, I stepped on a misaligned tile and the dreaded sound rang out.Almost immediately, I could hear the running footsteps and without thinking, I sprinted off and jumped down the window into the grass below. Once I was done, I hid behind the house so he couldn't see me.From where I stood, I could see the window, but it couldn't see me. And he came into sight just then, his eyes searching for me. He finally retreated and I let out a breath I didn't know I had been holding. That had been so close.My car had been parked some distance away so at least I knew he wouldn't get my plates in case he tried to look for who had come into his home. Even as I was in the car and a few miles away, my heart pounded away in my chest.This had been as successful as it could get. I had all his information that was on h

Melody's Point of ViewAntonio's nose flared as he wrapped his hands around my throat, slamming me against the wall.“Don't you dare say that!” He growled.I tried hard to control the way the wetness spread on my thong beneath my dress. I sounded slightly calmer as I spoke my next words. “I don't belong to you, Antonio. The least you can let me do is go with other men, and I'd let you have your women without second thought.”He slowly let go of my neck, as I bent double trying to catch my breath. I watched him as he ran his hands through his hair.He walked towards me again, grabbing my hair so hard that it hurt and shot pleasure through my veins.“What do you want?” I asked him, straining my voice.“You should never gone out on a dress that looks that fucking sexy.” I yanked my hair away from his grasp.“You don't have a right to tell me what to do.”He smirked. “On your knees,” he ordered,.making my knees go weak. I went down on my knees, doing just as he asked. He lifted my chin wi

Melody’s Point of View“What do you need my gun for?” I asked Antonio, tipping my chin. He cocked his head to the side like he was asking how I dare to defy him. I swallowed hard. I couldn’t deny the fact that a part of me was actually excited to see what he was going to do. But at the same time, I was scared.“Are you really asking me that question?” he asked, and I nodded meekly. It was funny that a police officer was literally bowing before a criminal. Obeying him. Craving for him. Something was wrong with me. I couldn’t be okay.“I… I don’t know,” I managed to whisper, and he chuckled as he walked over to me, snatching the gun from my hands, and forcing me to kneel down.I knew he wasn’t going to kill me. I was more than sure of that fact. All he had done was protect me this whole time. He wasn’t going to change now. Not when I felt like the both of us had some kind of connection. Finally after whatever my husband did. I wanted to feel like I was healing, but I knew I wasn’t. this

Melody's point of viewI stared at the shady building where I was supposed to meet this man that I called on the phone. Tones had given me his number, but I don't even know his name.Fuck! I hope I wasn't dealing with someone that was just going to put me in more trouble than I wanted.I pushed the thought out of my mind anyway, and attempted to get out of the car. I still reached into my cross bag where my gun was to make sure that it was still there. It was still safely tucked. That managed to give me some sense of security. I knew myself.I wouldn't hesitate to use the gun when necessary.I walked towards the place, getting the immediately stench of raw fish. What kind of place was this? I still felt the feeling of being watched. Who was following me?A part of me knew that it could either be Liam or Antonio. Liam suspected me. I knew that much. But it didn't matter. I was just on my case, right?My phone rang in my hand, almost making me jump. It was the guy I had come to meet. I
