INICIAR SESIÓNLeslie 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.
" Come for me now." And I did. The world splintered into a million pieces, and I cried out his name as wave after wave of pleasure washed over me. He followed me over the edge with a hoarse shout, his body shuddering against mine. We lay there for a long moment, our bodies tangled together, our breathing ragged. The silence that followed was heavy with unspoken words. He eventually pulled away, and I immediately felt the loss. He adjusted his clothes, his movements stiff and awkward. I watched him, my body still humming from the aftershocks of our encounter. " Well," I said, my voice a little shaky. " That was...unexpected." He shot me a look, and I couldn't quite read the expression in his eyes. " This was a mistake," he said, his voice flat. The words were like a bucket of cold water. I had expected a lot of things—a possessive comment or a grudging admission of enjoyment...maybe even a demand for another round...but I hadn't expected that. " A mistake?" I repeated, my voice l
Damon stared at me as if I had lost my gadamn mind. I might have but I wasn't going to show him that. After all, I had a reputation to protect." You what?" He asked,looking at me with wide eyes. He looked shocked as if he wasn't expecting that answer. Honestly,I wasn't expecting it either. The words slipped out of my mouth before I could even process them but I didn't regret it. I wanted him...I wanted to see what the mysterious bodyguard was hiding underneath all that seriousness. I wanted to see how he was in bed." You heard me," I replied, my tone unwavering. "I want you. Not tomorrow, not next week. Now. Right here." I declared. I know I was pushing my limits but so what? I liked the thrill of it.Damon looked at me and whatever expression on my face, and for a second, I saw a flicker of something in his eyes. It was something that looked an awful lot like desire but it was quickly replaced by a cold, hard mask." You're crazy," he said, shaking his head." I'm a woman who know
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
