HAZEL

Axel doesn’t come to me. He doesn’t respond.... He just keeps eating. Fork lifting. Chewing. Swallowing. Calm. Controlled. Like nothing I said mattered. Like I wasn’t even in the room.

When he’s done, he gathers his plate, the bag, the wrappers, and walks to the trash. He surprises me again when he washes his plate. Slowly. Thoroughly. He dries it. Sets it back in place exactly where it belongs.

Who is this man?

And what the hell is going on?

I don’t say anything. I just sit there, watchi

Yes, she is the weakest main character I have ever read about. I feel like the writer likes women to be weak.

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Shhh

    HAZEL There was so much hope."I don't want to ruin tonight," I admitted quietly."I don't either." He took another careful step toward me. "Then let's not ruin it."His voice was almost tender."We don't have to prove anything. We don't have to rush..... We can just be together tonight."I searched his face. The sincerity in his eyes made it so much harder to untangle the knot in my chest. Part of me wanted to throw my arms around him, and another Part of me wanted to cry. Because I loved him. I really did, and yet... That small voice inside me still hadn't gone away.It wasn't screaming, and it wasn't even warning me. It was only whispering....Slow down. I couldn't explain why; I couldn't justify it. I only knew it was there.I looked at him for a long moment before taking a slow breath."I..." I began."Don't overthink it." He whispered, pulling me towards him. "I know you're scared because it's your first time....""I....""Shhh..."His arms settled around me as he rested his for

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Suprise

    HAZEL But the truth was... I wasn't sure I understood anything. I simply didn't know what else to say.He leaned forward and kissed my forehead."So..." He smiled. "Are we okay?"I looked into his eyes. This was Harris, the man I loved, the man who had risked everything to get me out."Yeah," I said quietly. "We're okay."His entire face brightened."Good."He stood, wrapped me in a hug, and took my hand."So," he asked with a grin, "what are we doing today? Watching a movie?"The rest of the day, he seemed determined to erase the memory of the other night. He made me laugh, he teased me, he cooked with me, and he held my hand whenever he could.At first, it was difficult. I caught myself watching him more closely than before, trying to understand what had happened between us. But little by little... The familiar Harris came back, or at least, I believed he had. By evening, I'd almost forgotten about the argument entirely.That night, when we went to bed, Harris wrapped an arm around

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Try Again

    HAZEL Our eyes locked, but neither of us spoke. The silence seemed to stretch on forever.Then, all at once, something in him changed. The tension slowly left his shoulders, and His expression softened. Almost as though he had realised he'd gone too far. He let out a slow breath before sitting back down on the bed, but his posture had lost its edge."Relax," he said quietly.He rubbed a hand over his face."You just need to clear your mind."His voice was gentle again."This is it, babby." A faint smile touched his lips. "This is us moving forward."I wanted to believe him. I really wanted to. But in that moment... Something I couldn't name... Something I couldn't explain... Stopped me. It wasn't him.At least... I didn't think it was. He watched me quietly, waiting for me to say something. "I'm sorry," I whispered."I don't want you to apologise."His voice was calm again. Almost too calm."I just want you to trust me.""I do trust you.""Then why are you doing this to me?"I lowe

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Do You Love Me

    HAZEL I looked away instinctively. But, of course, Harris wouldn't let that go. His hand came to my chin, gently trying to turn my face back toward him. When I didn't cooperate, he simply pulled me closer and captured my mouth in another hard kiss. "I can't wait to make you mine," he whispered against my lips. "I've been thinking about this for months." He finally pulled back and began getting rid of the rest of his clothes. I didn't know if it was because I was still coming down from everything I'd been feeling over the past few weeks, or because my mind was finally catching up with my body. I just knew that what was happening between us didn't feel fair. Not to him. Not to me. It wasn't that I didn't want him. I did. I thought my body was ready; it had certainly responded to him. It was my mind that wasn't. I knew that once we got out of hiding... once I stopped feeling like I was living as a captive again... once I stopped living a life that, in so many ways, reminded me of

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Definitely Want Me

    HAZELI could see it in his eyes. The longing. The desire. The hunger for me... for my body.This was the night we were finally going to become one after everything we'd been through.And the thing was...I wasn't sure I was really ready for it.But then again...This was Harris.I loved him.He had risked everything for me. He had been so patient, so understanding. He had never once pressured me before.I looked up at him as he said quietly,"Now... panties off. Slide them off."He held my gaze without blinking."...And spread your legs.""I want you open for me."I didn't make a move.Neither did Harris.He simply stood there watching me.The silence stretched between us.A strange discomfort settled inside me.I couldn't name it.I nodded slowly and pushed myself up onto my elbows."Harris..."He tilted his head slightly."Yes?"My throat felt tight as I searched his face, trying to find the right words."I..." I started, then stopped.His gaze sharpened just a fraction.I swallowe

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Bound To Happen

    HAZELI couldn't help it. I laughed, and He laughed along with me."There she is," he said softly. "I've missed that laugh.""I laugh all the time," I argued."Not like that." He tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "That one... That one's my Hazel.""I missed you," he added.Something warm settled inside my chest."I've missed you, too.""I know we've been together. But... I've missed us." His smile faded into something more tender. "I've missed us a whole fucking lot....."For a while, neither of us spoke. We simply stood there, forehead to forehead. His arms around my waist and mine around his neck."I love you," he whispered.The words came so naturally, so effortlessly. Like he'd been holding them back all day.I smiled before answering."I love you too."His eyes closed for a second, as though hearing those words had permitted him to finally relax. When he opened them again, he smiled."A few more weeks. Then we're gone. No more hiding and no more running. Just you and me, bab

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Your Purpose

    HAZELI stare at the mirror longer than I want to, longer than I should have, just staring at my reflection, like maybe something magical will happen. Like maybe I’ll get an answer on what to do. I don’t know. Maybe....just maybe Harris will come and sweep me off my feet and take me away from here

    HAZELThe sound from Axel crawls straight under my skin.I bite my lower lip hard, hating myself for the way my body reacts, for the way that single sound affects me. I don’t know what he’s doing. I don’t want to know.I know I need to get out of here before my body betrays me as much as my curiosi

    AXELIt’s way past four, and I should be passed out.I should be buried in a woman’s warmth, letting skin and noise drown out thought, but instead I’m here. Leaning against the doorframe. A bottle heavy in my hand. Whiskey burns a path down my throat that does nothing to quiet the ache in my chest.
