Alle Kapitel von His Exception : Kapitel 21 – Kapitel 30

It was Friday, and Ellie could hardly believe how quickly the days had gone by. It felt like only yesterday that the week had started, yet here she was, already at the end of it. Dave had told her they could get something by 8:00 p.m. that evening. Even though it felt late to her, she had agreed. She didn't want him to think she was just playing him or avoiding him, especially after he had already made plans with her.Ellie sat next to K.J. on his bed, their eyes glued to the television. A TV show was on, and it was so interesting that Ellie completely lost track of time. She had been so focused on the show that she forgot she was supposed to clean Mr. Salvatore's room by 6:00 p.m.It was already forty minutes past the time, and she still hadn't gone.Her eyes moved from the TV to the clock, and her heart skipped a beat. She stared at the time for a moment before turning her attention back to the TV. She knew there was something she was supposed to be doing, but she couldn't remember

“I really don't want to lose this job,” Ellie said to Lena, her voice filled with worry.“First off, you're the first person in all my years in this mansion who has ever been assigned to clean his room at 6:00 p.m. Every other person before you cleaned his room right after he left and made sure they were out before he returned. But for some reason, you were assigned to clean his room at the exact hour he's usually in there. 6:00 p.m.,” Lena explained as she chopped the tomatoes on the cutting board.“But he didn't say I should come then. Mr. Donel was the one who gave me the time,” Ellie said, stirring the food.“Well, perhaps he gave the order, but Donel wouldn't normally assign you to his room at 6:00 p.m. He knows Mr. Salvatore is always disgusted by everyone who works for him.”Neither of them noticed that Kalon had woken earlier than usual.He had stopped outside the dining, by that corner the moment he realized they were talking about him.“But do you think he was born that way?

TONIGHT I CLAIM YOU:Ellie had spent the entire night tossing and turning, unable to get comfortable. For some reason she wasn’t at ease, and she couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong, though she couldn’t figure out what. She had tried closing her eyes and forcing herself to sleep, but the strange feeling only grew stronger.She finally propped herself up against the headboard, breathing heavily as she looked around the dark room. She reached for her phone to check the time and her eyes widened when she saw it was only 2 a.m. The room was completely dark, and the darkness made her a little scared. She was about to turn on the lamp when she heard footsteps approaching her door.Who was that?The footsteps grew closer until they stopped right outside. Ellie immediately lay back down, keeping her phone in her hands as she listened carefully. She heard the click of the door handle and her heart jumped as she began to sweat. She quickly slipped her hand under the duvet, finge

He knelt and loosened the ropes from both of her legs, then the ones binding her wrists. The moment the last knot gave way, Ellie tried to scramble back, but Kalon was already on her. He hauled her up against him and kissed her mouth again, hungrily.She struggled, pushing weakly at his chest, but he only tightened his hold and carried her out, to his bedroom. He dropped her onto the wide bed.“Screw this,” he muttered, he was done holding back. He stripped off his own shirt, then reached down and tore away what little remained of hers, the thin fabric ripping easily under his hands. Ellie tried to cover herself. But with his strong hands, he held her hands and pinned it about her head.“I just can’t get enough of you.” He whispered as he leaned in, kissing her lips while his other hand cupped one breast, his thumb brushing over her nipple until it hardened. He squeezed, rolled the soft flesh, then moved to the other, kneading and teasing until her breath hitched against his lips. His

“You dare disobey me?” Kalon thundered, his eyes burning with anger.“No… please,” Ellie whispered, shaking her head frantically.Before she could say anything else, he grabbed her by the jaw and shoved her against the wall. Ellie gasped, her back hitting the hard surface as his fingers tightened around her face.“This is the last chance you'll ever get. The next time you go against my orders, I'll put a bullet in your skull.” His voice was cold and threatening.“Do you understand me?” he demanded, forcing her to look directly into his eyes.She nodded, tears gathering in her eyes as she struggled to keep herself from crying harder.“Use your words!” he snapped.“Yes… yes, sir,” she stammered.Kalon held her gaze for another moment before finally releasing her jaw. He took a step backward, then tossed the gun onto the bed.“Step closer!” he commanded.She swallowed a lump and slowly stepped toward him. Her hands trembled at her sides, and she kept her eyes lowered, afraid that even th
