Chapter 11

CHAPTER 11: STRIPSilas stopped in the doorway. His gaze swept over the strange girl he'd never seen in all his days coming here."Well." His eyes moved from Elena to the glass in her hand, then to the way she was pressed against the counter like a child caught stealing cookies. "This is interesting.""She's staff," Adrian said. The lie fell flat between them."Was she?" Silas's smile didn't reach his eyes. He stepped into the kitchen, each movement unhurried. "I don't remember your staff dressing differently from their uniform." His gaze fixed on Elena. "And young lady, what's your name?""Elena." The word escaped before she could stop it, her stubbornness overriding her survival instinct once more."Elena." He repeated it, tasting it, his head tilting with the curiosity of a man who had just found a puzzle piece that didn't fit the picture he'd been given. "Is she not the witness girl? And what is she doing in your house? I thought I asked you to take care of her." He directed the q

CHAPTER 12Elena's hands trembled at her sides. The word hung in the air between them “STRIP” and she couldn't make her lungs work properly."I said strip." Adrian's voice was cold and distant, unlike his usual self. He stood in the center of the smaller room, his shoulders rigid, his jaw set so tight she could see the muscle ticking beneath the skin.She didn't move.Adrian took one step toward her. Then another. Each step is deliberate and controlled. He stopped an arm's length away. Close enough that she could see the flecks of gold in his dark eyes. "You want to defy me again?" His voice dropped to something almost aggressive."Please," she whispered. Her breathing came faster, tears gathering at the rims of her eyes. "I'm begging you. Don't do this to me. I'm sorry.""Elena." Her name in his mouth was a command and a warning. "Strip."Slowly Elena brought her hands toward her shirt and loosened the first three buttons. "Please," she whispered. Adrian stood still and didn’t say

CHAPTER 13Adrian returned to his room, the image of Elena's body refusing to leave his head.He made his way toward the bathroom, shed his clothes, and stepped into the shower. Icy water hit his skin. He stood beneath the spray, hands sliding down to his hardened member.He began stroking himself at a slow pace."Fuck, Elena, suck my dick," he muttered.His hand worked faster, conjuring a vivid image of Elena on her knees before him, her mouth hot and willing.He reached for the body gel on the stand, poured some into his palm, and slicked it over his length.The sensation sent pleasure ripping through him. He threw his head back, eyes rolling toward the ceiling.Images played behind his lids, Elena riding him, him driving into her until she broke apart beneath him.Close to the edge, his hand moved vigorously."Ah, I'm coming, fuck, I'm coming," he groaned, voice loud and raw.He spent himself against the wall and shower glass, pulse after pulse, until his legs shook."Hmm." A groan

CHAPTER 14 The warehouse reeked of diesel, rust, and the copper-sweet undertone of old blood. Adrian stepped through the rusted metal doors and felt the temperature drop. Twelve armed men observed him, hands resting on holsters with a casual promise of violence. Silas walked beside him, immaculate in charcoal gray, smiling like he was attending a dinner party. Don Vittorio sat at the far end of the long table, flanked by his men, his face a map of seventy years in a ruthless business. Opposite him, the Morettis—Giovanni, his two sons Julio and Dante, all shared the same sharp jaw and dead eyes. "Gentlemen," Silas spread his hands, "Shall we settle this like civilized men?" Giovanni Moretti laughed, a gravelly sound like a blender full of rocks. "Civilized. That's rich, coming from a man who fed his last partner to dogs." "I've never owned dogs," Silas said calmly, his smile unwavering. "Now. The shipment." Adrian scanned the warehouse, exits, blind spots, and the sniper h
