I jolted awake and looked around frantically, momentarily confused. I was in bed in my pajamas and everything in the room was in place. The only reminder of the terrible night I had experienced was the splitting headache and the ache in my eyes. I was still tired as if I hadn’t rested and I wondered how I got in bed. I didn’t remember getting in bed or sleeping for that matter. I didn’t rocket science to know who had changed me and gotten me into bed. Except, I didn’t know why he did it and I hated the way my heart fluttered at the thought that he cared about me enough not to let me sleep on the floor. Damn, my heart. I decided to stay in bed a bit longer, as I was in no hurry to go outside and meet anyone with swollen eyes. The questions that came with that would be unbearable, no doubt. I also didn’t want to see the one person my heart ached to see. A few minutes after I had closed my eyes and realized that I wasn’t going to fall back asleep, there was a knock on the door before

Shame, guilt, and humiliation are all emotions that were balled into one and settled in my chest. Even as I put the straps back on and pulled my dress back down. How quickly I had fallen into his trap after convincing myself over and over that I wouldn’t.Nikolai must have noticed because he didn’t say anything. He just kept looking at me like he expected me to snap at any time. Jokes on him because I was too ashamed to even look at him. He preyed on my weakness for him and that wasn’t right.“ Brie…”“ Don’t. “I started picking up my tattered panties from the floor but Nikolai had thought the exact same thing because his hands and mine touched as we took it from the floor. The jolts of electricity that radiated from that one touch alone made me retract my hand quickly.“ Why do you have that look on your face? “ He asked as he stepped into my personal space. I moved back instinctively and he frowned.He took my arm and pulled me into him.“ Tell me, “ he coaxed as he squashed our ch

“ What’s wrong? “ I asked.“ Get in the car, Brianna, “ he said, not quite looking me in the eye.I thought he would have been happier to see me especially when I had been missing for hours but I guess I was wrong.“ Get in the fucking car, Brianna, “ he said in a tone that bordered deadly and angry.I did as he said because I feared an altercation with him in front of all his guards. There were at least three cars and all the guards were outside, even Lorenzo was there. I wanted to talk to him during the car ride but I noticed how angry he was.His gaze was fixated on the window, his jaw was ticking, and his hand was balled into a fist. I too stared out of the window wondering if he was angry at me or the incompetence of his guards. It seemed as if he was angry at me.We got to the mansion and he got out of the car. He slammed the door shut so hard that I jumped in surprise. I expected him to come to my side and open the door for im but I watched him stride towards the mansion throug

Immediately I came down on my high, I pushed Nikolai away making him pull his fingers from my mound. I glared at him while he gave me a smug smile. I fixed my dress and tried to leave the stall but he pulled me back in.My back landed on his chest and he gripped my waist with his arm. His mouth went to my ear and he licked the outer skin making me all hot and bothered once more.“ I will find those pills of yours and flush them down the toilet. Then I will fuck you all night, depositing my seed in your womb each time to make sure you get pregnant. If it doesn’t, we’ll go at it until we are successful. Mark my words. “ He said.I turned to face him and gave him a hard look.“ You seem to be forgetting that it is my womb and I get to decide if or not I carry a baby, okay? I will get pregnant for you over my dead body. Mark my words. “He chuckled and eyed my body with desire.“ You seem to forget how fast your pussy weeps for me and how great your body responds to my touch. I will fuck

It had been three days since we arrived at Anabelle’s estate and every day, we all trained. I was taught how to fight, aim, and use objects around me and I was getting better. All this was taught to me by Ana’s trainer.She could deny their romance all she wanted but I saw how they looked at each other. They must have been sleeping together. I knew that for sure. All I did was train with the guy since I wanted to be good at what I did.Deep down I knew I was training to get the worry I had for Nikolai out of my mind. He had eased my mind by texting me that he was safe. That was three days before and I hadn’t heard anything from him since.I knew he was busy but there was no way to know what state he was in. It destroyed my mind not knowing what was happening back in Italy. I shouldn’t have left him. I should have fought by his side.“ Woah, what has the boxing bag done to you? “ Ana asked as she walked into the room.Florian, Ana’s trainer, was typing away on his phone. He had taken a
