INICIAR SESIÓNA smile painted his lips and I swear he looked irresistible without his usual smirks." So you can actually beg?" He asked,more like he teased me. I felt frustration bubble inside me. I was so damn close." I beg for things that are worth it." I huffed, looking away. " My cock is among those things Leslie?" He pressed and I swear he just wanted to hear me admit it." It is. " I admitted."We are betrothed,are you going to refuse to fuck me, Mikhail?" Was he punishing me for what happened earlier at the Northern district?" I do want to fuck you until you can't remember your name Leslie but I am not going to do that." Mikhail declared. My frustration took another turn with his admission." Why is that?" I asked, trying to sound or pretend to be composed." Because we are not married, Leslie. The day I will take you as my wife is the day I will take you to my bed and give you what you have been begging." Mikhail declared." Since when did you become a saint?" I fired back. I am not an
Leo winked." That's what I'm here for." He replied.I revved the engine, and with a final nod, I sped off into the night.The ride home was a blur. My mind was a mess of conflicting emotions. I was still angry at Mikhail for trying to control me, but a part of me couldn't help but feel a little thrill at the raw, possessive jealousy he'd displayed. I hated that I liked it. I hated that my body reacted to him even when my mind was screaming at me to stay away.The ride did little to clear my head. Mikhail's words, "our conversation is far from over," kept echoing in my mind. I knew he was right. This wasn't over, he was going to make me explain shit... like why I sneaked out knowing that it was dangerous. It's not like I didn't know it was, it's just that I hated feeling trapped and my every move watched.When I got home, the penthouse was dark and silent. I expected to find him waiting for me, ready to continue our "conversation," but the place was empty. I wasn't sure if I was relie
Leslie I could not believe my ears. Did Mikhail just call me reckless because I sneaked out to do something that makes me feel human and not some caged bird?" If you haven't been so hell-bent on keeping me watched every damn minute, would I have resulted into sneaking out?" I threw back. The look on his face spelt one thing; I am being dramatic and that pissed me off then anything else." I don't have to explain my actions to you, Mikhail." I added, turning to leave but he was quick to grab my arm, stopping me." We're not done here," he said, his grip like a vise. I tried to yank my arm away, but he held on tight. " Let go of me," I snapped through gritted teeth. I had no intention of causing a scene but he was not giving me any choice." Not until we settle this," he insisted. His fingers were digging into my arm but I refused to show any signs of pain. I didn't want him to see me as weak." There's nothing to settle between us, Mikhail" I said, trying to keep my voice steady. "I
I could not believe my ears. Leslie went to participate in Street races? She sneaked out for something that dangerous?I immediately called for Damon." Get me everything you can on illegal street races in the city and outside too." I ordered, my voice sharp." Yes, sir," he said, and I could hear the urgency in his tone. I hung up the phone.I turned to Lydia, my expression unreadable. " You can go."" Mikhail," she said, her voice hesitant. "Please find her." She said, her voice hesitant. She understood what Leslie being out there unguarded meant with stray dogs hunting her so why didn't Leslie think of that first before sneaking?" I will," I said, my voice grim. "I always do."She nodded, a silent understanding passing between us, and then she left.I paced my office, my mind racing. The thought of Leslie on a motorcycle, weaving through traffic at breakneck speeds, sent fear through me. It was a fear I hadn't felt in a long, long time. A fear of losing the one person who mattere
Mikhail POV" What do you mean she sneaked out? I told you to keep an eye on her." I barked at Damon, my anger increasing with each passing second. " I gave you a simple task, Damon. Keep your eyes on my wife and you are telling me you fucking don't know where she is?" I snapped. The more I thought of Leslie being unprotected somewhere and possibly encountering harm, the more worried I felt. " I...sir..." Damon started, looking down at the floor, unable to hold my gaze." Sir what?" I snarled, taking a step closer to him. The urge to wrap my hands around his neck was strong. "You were supposed to be on her tail 24/7. This was your only job, Damon. Your only fucking job."" She...slipped away, sir," he stammered, his face pale. "She has a secret garage in her building...we only found the access point after she was already gone. I've put out an alert, but she switched off her phone and the trackers on her cars." He revealed. My blood ran cold. She wasn't just missing. She had deliber
" There is someone." I confessed and Leo shook his head." That was damn fast Les. But can I blame them? You are an attractive woman. Any man would fall for someone like you." Leo added. I didn't know whether to take that as a compliment or an insult. But Leo was smiling which meant to him, this was definitely not an insult. I chose to ignore it." He's... intense," I said, choosing my words carefully." Intense how?" Leo pressed." Powerful," I said. "The kind of powerful that can get him anything he wants."" Sounds dangerous," he said, his grin fading slightly." He is," I admitted. "But he's also... different. With me, at least."" Different good, or different 'I-should-start-worrying' good?" He asked." I'm still figuring that out," I said, draining my glass. "Another?" I asked, pushing the empty glass toward him.He took it, his eyes studying me for a moment. " You know, Les, you've always been a wild one. But this... this feels different. You're playing with fire."I shrugged.

I choked on the water I was trying to drink to cool my body. Mikhail was beside me in a heartbeat, patting my back. That contact sent something electrifying straight to a part of my body that had no business coming alive. I clamped my thighs, afraid that Mikhail would catch something inappropri
