ENZO DE-LUCASeeing her so scared of me troubled me deeply and I felt completely uneasy. Groaning, my mind went back to when I’d tried to touch her and she moved away from me. I didn’t want to be worried but I couldn’t help it.“I’m terrified of you.” The sound of that kept ringing like a bell in my head and the more I tried to forget about it, the harder it became.What can I do? How do I get her to stop being so scared of me?“You’re not a monster?” Her voice stopped me in my tracks as she scoffed and it was taking all that I had in me to not turn around and face her.“That’s right,“ she laughed and the sound of her soft footsteps made me think for a moment that she was walking towards me but I knew better.“You’re worse than a monster,” she added with a sigh and I felt a sudden chillness in my stomach as my grip around the doorknob tightened.“Goodnight, Enzo.” She finished. I wanted to keep walking but at the same time I wanted to turn around and tell her that I’m not the kind of

ENZO DE-LUCA“Are you okay?” I muttered as I helped her up, finally having her in my arms, her curvaceous, soft and gorgeous body was tender under my embrace.My cock twitched and I wanted nothing more than to hold her in my arms even more, I wanted to squeeze her like she was some sort of plushie.How long has it been since I’ve last held her in my arms like this?“Excuse me.” She responded, the intensity of her voice lashing at every one of my bones and making me shiver within me as she moved away from my embrace.She didn’t look up at me for once and I couldn’t help but watch as Maeve walked past me, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear as she walked.Her body was stiff and even as my eyes followed her, even as I tried as hard as I could to go with her, to have her talk to me. All I did was clench my fist.The sound of her wincing caused me to turn fully in her direction and that was when I saw what she was really doing, her eyes were closed so she wouldn’t have to see me.

ENZO DE-LUCA“Yes. Be here as soon as you can, please. Okay.” I let out a sigh after I hung up the call and my knees felt weak, my legs were too tired to hold me and before I could think, my back had already hit the pole.Sighing again, I knew really well that it would take a long time for Maeve to warm up to me again, she never warmed up to me to start with.Laughing, I made my way up the stairs, my mind conflicted with tons of thoughts and just when I came to my senses, when I realized my legs were drifting towards Maeve’s room, I paused.She needs time, I need to give her the time she needs.Shaking the thoughts out of my head, I hurried to my study to get some work done and also wait for Levi and Yvette for the urgent meeting I’d called.“It’s rare for you to call an urgent meeting,” Levi’s voice jolted me out of my thoughts and I lifted my gaze to see him standing right in front of me.My heart pounded at first but I did all I could to hide my surprise, “you can try to hide your

ENZO DE-LUCAYvette’s eyes widened, she looked shocked as she stood to her feet but she immediately recovered from the dumbfounding moment.“What?” She asked, her head tilted to the side as she stared at me, “what’s wrong with you? Is this about the Maeve girl?” She asked and I nodded without hesitation.“I mean, there’s no other reason, it’s because of her.” I responded, doing everything I could to get her out of my office and even though I felt guilty, I couldn’t let it eat up at me.I wanted her to leave, I needed the space and time to think before doing anything else and I might have stupidly let her suck my cock, I couldn’t possibly let it go further than that.The study fell silent and I studied Yvette’s facial expression. She looked disgusted but at the same time she had a satisfactory look on her face and her eyes glistened with some sort of mischief.“Well, you let me suck you so I guess she’s not that important after all or you would have stopped me.” She retorted, her words

MAEVE HAWTHORN.I felt helpless but who wouldn’t be after hearing him say those words. Silence settled in the room again as I felt Enzo’s heart beating against my palm.My palm pressed harder into his chest and I wanted to pull away from him but at the same time, I wanted to listen more to his heartbeat, to feel it vibrate in my hand.Why does he have so much effect on me? Why is he getting these kinds of reactions out of me?My gaze lifted and I saw the heart rending tenderness of his gaze as he looked down at me. Staring me over like I was some sort of prize and his hand pressed down on mine, holding it while I rested my hand on his chest.Something in his manner soothed me, my body ached for his touch and he radiated even more vitality that drew me like a magnet. I wanted him to kiss me, to keep on touching me like his life actually depended on it.I dreamed of being crushed within his embrace but I settled for feeling his heartbeat. Enzo had unlocked something that the men in my p
