LOGINShe looked stunning.So beautiful; every male head in the reception area turned to stare at her. 'Like the sexist angel that had fallen from heaven.'Some guy nearby whispered to his friend, and he was right. Somehow she managed to look so innocent and pure, with all that ash blonde hair and silvery eyes, and then there was the dress. It fitted her body like a second skin. No straps, leaving her creamy shoulders and arms on view; it was a tight-fitting basque that laced down the back with a long circular skirt that flowed to the floor with side splits that gave tantalising views of her long, toned legs. 'God, I wanted those legs wrapped around me again.'I thought, already so hard it was painful in my tuxedo pants, there was no way I was going to let her go tonight, even with the two guards she had brought wit
'Home.'I thought, staring out of the tiny window as the plane taxied neatly into its allotted space at the airport. The sky was unending blue as the sun shone down, and you could already feel the heat rising from the tarmac. I did not rush to leave the plane, remaining in my seat while families and businessmen rushed to get their bags from the overhead lockers. I sat, resting my head back against the seat with my eyes closed, letting the madness sweep past me until one of the stewardesses tapped my shoulder gently.'Miss, Miss, it's time to leave the plane now.'She smiled at me, and I smiled back. Standing, I straightened myself and walked toward the door and out into the Texas heat. Outside the airport, I look around me, relishing the familiar vista; this is where I belong, but it is only now I realise I don't have anywhere to go, for the first time in my life I am alone. Of course, it is only an illusion; both Killion and Maxime have men watching me a
I rush through the meeting I was called away from Tavisha for, then shower and change into clean clothes, then rush back to the Medical Centre. I'd been gone for more than two hours, and I had told the medical staff to leave her in peace to sleep. When I reached the nurses' station, I asked casually.'How is Tavisha doing? Did she eat her lunch?'The nurses looked at each other, and I frowned.'You told us not to disturb her, Pres. No one has been in to see her since you left.'My heart froze because I knew there was no way my little wife had not woken up, and my gut was telling me this was bad. Striding past the station, I was almost running when I pushed open the door to her room and found it empty. It did not stop me from calling her name and searching the bathroom, already knowing she had run again. The door opened again, and the Doctor came dashing into the room.'Where the fuck is she?'I demanded as he looked wildly around.'I'm sorry, Pres, I do not know.'I wanted to strangle
Staring out of my office window at the endless blue sky that merges with the mountains in the distance, my thoughts are not on the stunning vista in front of me. All I can see are the taillights of the SUV as it speeds away with my woman inside it. I know Killian O'Hara had the gall to take her in broad daylight straight out of the college. I know he took her by force; she did not get in that fucking SUV willingly. They sedated her to keep her quiet. I know because I saw it all, but I was too late to help her. I had just walked around the corner to meet her and raced toward that damn blacked-out
When I woke up again, the sun was high in the sky, and I was alone. No Doctors, no nurses and especially no Killian. I moved my limbs tentatively, and although there were a few twinges here and there, nothing was broken, and I didn't appear to have any stitches. Slowly, I pulled myself into a sitting position and looked around; apart from the steady beep-beep of the machines, the room was silent and empty. I did not hesitate; removing the cannula, I pulled the plug on the machines, silencing them all. Slipping out of the bed, I grabbed my clothes and headed for the bathroom. Dressing quickly, I was out of that room as fast as my legs could carry me, keeping to the shadows. I found an exit door at the back of the Medical Centre, probably used for deliveries, and then I was out in the late afternoon sunshine. I knew the score by now and moved as fast as I could around the perim
I walk back into the CCTV rooms to find my guards playing cards, drinking whisky and smoking weed. They are completely oblivious to the drama playing out behind them on their TV screens.'Oh, she's having a bit of a tantrum, Pres, throwing things around a bit. She's probably calming down now she's been at it almost an hour.'One of them says, not in the least concerned, as my eyes take in the horror show behind him. 'Keane, get the Doctor to her room right away. Sean, get these four eejits out of my sight. I will deal with them later, if my wife survives.'I snarl, pressing the button to release the door to her room and racing down to get her as fast as my legs can carry me. I can see she is having a panic attack, something she has had before but which this time is clearly much more severe than anything I have ever witnessed. I reach the hidden room just as the TV topples forward and smashes through the huge floor-to-ceiling window I had deliberately sealed shut to prevent her escap
Stacey quickly told me everything she had done, and I made sure the rumours she had started were nipped in the bud. She apologised for jumping to conclusions and taking the word of a confused, frightened young woman she barely knew over her club President, whom she had known for years. I would nev
After I told the women what had happened, they said they would help me. They told me to rest on the small truckle bed Julianne tugged out and leave everything to them. I must have been exhausted because I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow, and when they woke me up, there was a young guy
I wake up from my 'drugged' sleep slowly, enjoying being cuddled up to a warm body especially when the hands stroking my body move slowly up to my core. 'Oh God, that feels so good.'My brain is full of cotton wool but the sensations I'm feeling are like nothing I have ever felt before. 'Oh my, o
I expected her to fight and scream.I knew she would not be happy about the wedding.I did not expect her to have a panic attack.'Was she really so afraid of me?'I watched Doc trying to calm her down, and when he told me to leave, I did.'I will go back and talk to her later when she is ready to
