ScottA sharp pain in my rib area awakened me. Eliana was tossing, crying out "no" and somehow throwing her legs in her dreams."Please..." her voice was whisper-soft. "Scott...""I’m here, sweet." I barely recognized my own voice. It was hoarse, weak—an inaudible whisper. I tried to touch her face only for a sharp pull to stop me, followed by a pain that pricked my skin. Confused, I stared down at my hand. There was a needle lodged beneath my skin, taped securely in place, a clear line snaking up to the empty IV bag. I immediately pulled the damn thing off my hand. Cupping her face in my hand, I noticed tears streaming down the sides of her eyes. "Eliana," I called, gently shaking her awake.Her tossing stopped, her brows furrowed, and slowly, she opened her eyes. I wondered what her dream was about. Was she reliving the attack from Adkins? That bastard. If only I had just killed him—then I wouldn't have been able to lie beside her. Still, I would have been satisfied knowing he w

ScottThe word "dread" was far too small to describe what I felt—nothing compared to the reality. Standing at the door, I saw her tossing clothes into a suitcase, her expression unreadable. There was no way I was going to stand back and watch her leave, not on her own. If she was leaving, I was too."Eliana..." I called softly.She lifted her gaze to meet mine. Her eyes were bright, almost like a smile. Still, my heart raced. The last time she had left in anger, I had almost lost her—I’d literally had a brush with death."I don't think I could survive it a second time."I didn't care how it looked or sounded. If anything had happened to her... Eliana stared at me, her brows furrowed as her eyes studied my face. Then, her expression eased into one of understanding."I'm packing both our suitcases, Scott." She chuckled. The breath I had been holding was finally released in a long, contented sigh."For a moment, you scared me.""No, you scared yourself," she teased.I pulled her closer

Scott“Fuck me.” Her breathless whisper made a shiver of pleasure run down my spine. She hadn't even touched me yet, and already my blood was roaring.“I will, baby. I will.” I murmured, pinning her harder against the wall, making sure she felt every bit of how hard I was for her. She slammed her lips on mine, clasping my face with both hands. The kiss was desperate, hot—a promise of a good fuck. “Stop!” She said breathlessly, pushing me away.“Stop?” Damn, I was so confused and so fucking aroused. My heart was thumping against my ribs like it wanted to break out.“Yes.”I moved aside, brushing my fingers through my hair. Watching her retreat did something to me I couldn't understand. I had hoped she wanted it just as much as I did. A cold shower was the only means for relief for the time being. I walked to the door of the bathroom, my jaw tight.“I found it!” Eliana called out. “Scott, where the fuck are you going?”“To shower.”I mumbled, barely turning my head to look at he

ElianaOne day, a whole fucking day went by and still no news. I let those men drag me all the way back to London. To an apartment pretty close to school.It was basically a house arrest. I wasn’t allowed to leave the apartment. There were eyes on me almost every second of the day, making sure I didn't try to escape.“Call your boss.” I ordered, my voice was steady, fierce.The man closest to me raised an eyebrow in question.“You heard me, call your boss, Mr. Garcia.”My gaze was fierce. That was all I had left, feigned control and confidence. Giving me a quizzical look, he pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialed my father's number.Stretching my hand forward, I wriggled my fingers; a quiet order. He handed me the phone right when my dad's voice buzzed through the speaker.“Hello?”“Hello, Mr. Garcia.” My voice was stiff, emotionless… way too calm.“Eliana?”I couldn't tell if the tone in his voice was that of surprise or irritation.“Yes. You wouldn't call nor take my calls,

ElianaNight had never lasted so long. I tossed and turned until dawn. I couldn't think straight. Every time I tried to come up with something, I got distracted like my mind was warring against itself, thoughts colliding, words spoken over the other. I was going crazy.Sebastian. That was the best idea I could come up with. I was too distraught to think straight. Someone calm and in a better position to think should do the thinking or at least, help me stay focused enough on one topic to actually think properly.I texted him.**Me:** Meet me at the G&Glam boutique.I drifted off to sleep.**Sebastian:** Where are you? We haven't been able to reach either of you.I had not expected a reply, at least not so soon.**Me:** Meet me there, I'll tell you everything.The sound of my alarm awakened me. Too tired to get up, I searched for my phone with my eyes closed, tapping the side of the bed till I found it.I dragged myself out of bed, heading to the bathroom. As much as I was happy
