To Love A Monster のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

ValentinaI’m panting for breath, and I want to say it’s his hands on my ass that have me trapped, that have my legs spread wide, and me up on tiptoe arching back into his face because fuck. Fuck. It feels so good. His mouth, his tongue, his hot breath as he devours me, it feels too fucking good, and I hate him for it.I tell him as much, digging my nails into my palms to stop myself from coming because I’m close. I’m so close.“Now now,” he says, stopping seconds before I climax. I groan and he straightens, air cold where his warm tongue was. He spanks me again. “Don’t come just yet, wife, not until my cock is deep inside your cunt.”He takes me by my hair and pulls me upright, turning me to face him and kissing me hard on the mouth, his face wet with me. I taste myself on him, and I find myself kissing him back.Nicholas grins down at me, and fuck, he’s so beautiful. He’s always been so fucking beautiful.“Take me out,” he commands.I glare at him.“Do it. Take me out. It’s the only

ValentinaI wake up to the sound of rain pelting the windows. It takes me a long minute to remember where I am, to remember what we did and why I'm so sore. I open my eyes. Everything is a blur, but I make out my glasses on the nightstand. I thought I'd left them in the bathroom.I put them on and roll onto my back, turning to look at the space beside me on the bed, expecting to find Nicholas there watching me, uncertain how to be this morning after last night. I'm not sure if I'm disappointed or glad to find I'm alone. The place beside mine is empty, and the pillow is cool to the touch. There's no indentation.Did he even sleep here last night?I sit up in the bed, pulling the blanket up to my chest, and look around. The room is a mess, with my towel on the floor where Nicholas stripped it off of me and the chair that was in front of the desk turned over on its side. I don't even remember him pushing it away before he bent me over the desk.At the memory of what we did, something flu

ValentinaA doctor is taking my father's blood pressure, and another police officer is inside his room. I notice the chain hanging over the edge of the foot of the bed. They must have his ankle cuffed to the bed. It's degrading to see my father like this, and tears well in my eyes because he doesn't deserve this."Valentina," Dad says, using my full name, which he rarely does.I drag my gaze to his, knowing he saw me looking. "Dad."I run to him, and the doctor steps away. When the police officer comes forward to block me, Mr. Higgins puts a hand on his arm. "She's his daughter. She just heard he was stabbed. Please.""Fine." The guard steps back, and I hug my father. I would have anyway.I realize as he holds me how much I've missed him. How much I miss my dad.A sob breaks between us and Dad rubs my back. I pull away and wipe away my tears."Dad. Are you okay?""I'm going to be just fine, honey. You don't worry about me, okay?"I nod, even though I know I can't do it. "What happened

NicholasI stare at the back of Hamish's neck, trying to breathe, to calm myself down. I have a hold of Valentina's hand. It's taking all I have not to squeeze too hard, but I can't let her go. Look what happened the minute I did. Cielo got to her. Fucking Cielo somehow got to her.As soon as we pull to a stop at the house, I reach over to open Valentina's door."Go inside," I tell her as Hamish kills the engine and looks at me in the rear-view mirror.Valentina looks from me to Hamish and back. "Nicholas, he was right there⁠—"I turn to her and what she sees in my eyes makes her stop. "In. Now. You're not off the hook with me."She swallows but stands her ground. "If you hadn't barreled in like you did, he'd have gotten me out of there.""It's all right," Hamish tells her. "He's right to be angry."She looks at him, then at me."Go. Inside."Although reluctant, she climbs out and goes into the house.Hamish and I both step out of the vehicle."What the fuck was your one job?" I bark.

ValentinaWe drive to Sinistral that afternoon. Nicholas holds my hand as we walk into the lobby of the hotel."I hate this fucking place," he mutters."Me too." The memory of what happened after the Riccis barged into that small room and found Nicholas and I together overshadows what was a beautiful moment. What happened after they hauled Nicholas away in handcuffs darkens all the good moments. I wonder if that will always be the case.Nicholas walks up to the concierge desk and greets the woman standing behind it. "Call up to the penthouse and let Carlisle-Bent know Valentina Hendrick, formerly Russo, is here to see him."She looks from him to me and back. I wonder if she was here the night he was arrested.I set my hand over top of Nicholas's forearm. "Please," I add, smiling."Of course," she says. Her smile is tight, but she picks up the phone to call my grandfather. A moment later, she puts the phone down and signals the porter over. She hands him a key. "Take Ms. Russo and⁠—""
