VALENTINA
My blood chills in my veins but his reaction turns out to be different than what I expected.
He lets out a low laugh, soft and deadly. His tongue darts out to wet his lips, tempting my eyes to follow his movement and I cave in.
“ Interesting. ” He whispers under his breath, his breath fanning my face.
“ Next time you try to test me, you must remember one thing…” He lets out, his voice an exotic caress.
Unconsciously, I want to press my thighs together, but I can’t. He is keeping them parted, his body just inches away from pressing against mine - crushing and weighing me down.
I take in a shaky breath, looking deep into his coal eyes.
“ If I lose any more of my men to clear your stupid doubts…” A wry smile curls his lips. I can tell he is not going to say something good.
He leans in, breaking all codes of professionalism like he always does. I squeeze my eyes shut, the sheer intensity of his ga
VALENTINAAgent Vitali takes the notepad from the table and looks down at it. I watch him, my chest refusing to heaving up and down for a moment.“ This is enough for now. ” He whispers to me, to himself.Then, Agent Vitali picks up his head and looks directly at me just in time I loose the breath I held back for a while.He knows I didn’t tell him everything still, but he thinks it’s enough for now. Why? I don’t know and for now, I don’t want to find out either.Just a little time, that’s all I want besides the death of Nico and destruction of the Thorn Clan.“ You can go to your room now. ” Agent Vitali takes his piercing eyes off me and tears the pages from the notepad, all the while I continue watching him.I want to look away, but I can’t. I am caught up in his eyes which are cast down and his lips that are pressed together firmly.What it might f
MATTEO~A LITTLE WHILE EARLIER…I am sitting on my bed in my own room. Darkness and silence are my companions right now. The usual thing.My eyes are fixed on the darkness clouding the wall in front of me.My mind keeps drifting off to Valentina. She is refraining from revealing everything to me. She gave me the necessary information earlier, but she kept all the good, important secrets to herself.The barbie doll thinks she can fool me and hold everything back. She thinks she is a good liar and I won’t understand what she is trying to do, but she is so very wrong about this.I know all the what, why, and how when it comes to Valentina Morgan.She wants time and reassurance and a little support.And I? I just want to know where Nico must be hiding and where he is keeping our f
VALENTINAI don’t know for how long I cried and tried to pull myself out of the effect of that nightmare, memories.I lost track of time and my brain also gave up on me, sending me into a deep slumber where memories once again came back to haunt me.I wasn’t dreaming about these memories for so long, but now I think I am starting to fall into the abyss of PTSD once more.The time when I wake up, I find myself on the bed and alone in the room. My puffy eyes search the room, recalling what had happened earlier.Inhaling deeply, I ignore the ache I feel in my head, throat and heart.I can’t believe I held him and cried like a clueless child. He could be laughing at me for all I know.‘ It’s alright. It was just a nightmare. ’ His deep voice whispers in my ears, making me gulp my saliva.He comforted me even if it felt like he didn
MATTEO Valentina was going to ruin the whole thing for me by telling Caelum that she had already revealed many things to me. I got here in time. I should Thank the Devil because God is never on my side. “ Get the fuck out. ” I stand in front of Valentina, hiding her from Caelum unconsciously as I hiss at him. “ Why are you getting so angry? I came because you asked me to come. ” He shrugs his shoulders, making me grit my teeth. If my goal was not stopping me, I would have shown this bastard how getting on my nerves can affect him. “ This is my job, Caelum. Don’t fuck with me. Get out of here. ” I stand tall, my eyes drilling holes in Caelum’s head. His eyes squint, making my jaw tick. The asshole is really suspicious about me and he wants to poke his nose in my business…This won’t end good for him if he continues getting his ass in my way. “ Relax. I was just having a harmless conversation with… ” He le
VALENTINA“ Thanks…for uh - last night and I am sorry…I didn’t want to wake you up. ” I whisper in a timid voice, forgetting about what just happened for a brief moment.His wrist is in my hand and the warmth radiating off his skin is seeping through mine. My fingertips are tingling and itching to be dragged over his skin which feels a little rough against my soft skin.This is a different kind of feeling, nothing like the disgust I felt whenever any man in my life touched me.Agent Vitali turns around to face me all of a sudden. His coal globes lift to mine and I cease breathing for a mere second.“ You can wake me up every night if you want. I won’t refuse to come. ” He replies seductively, the killer tempting smile lazily stretching across his thick lips.There is a hidden meaning behind his words this time and for once, I think it’s more than just a dirty offer. It&rs
VALENTINAMy smile falls off my lips after a while and I make my way to my bed.What am I thinking? I think, sitting down on the bed.Did Agent Vitali really manage to get my mind off the main topic? We were talking about Caelum.Caelum said that I haven’t told anything to Agent Vitali when I have already told him many things. What’s happening? I don’t understand.As I think about it too deeply, I can only think of two reasons for Caelum to be behaving this way.Number One. Caelum and Agent Vitali are playing games with me so they can confuse me and eventually make me talk about all the other things that I know.And Number Two. Agent Vitali kept all the information to himself instead of reporting it to the Agency.The second option is absurd. Agent Vitali works for the Agency…Why would he hold off information?I shake my head to my
VALENTINASuch a tempting offer. As usual.Just stay put and everything will be over soon, he says. I can’t tell what the hidden meaning behind this offer is.“ Okay. ” I nod my head in a trance.He watches me until I leave the bedsheets and place my hands in my lap. I realise how hot my face is and it must be turning red, giving away every emotion he made me feel just now.“ Good. ” He smiles lazily and gets up from the bed before walking out of the room that I call mine, temporarily.Just as he leaves, I take in huge intake of air. Then, I release the breath through my nose slowly.Something is wrong with him and it’s confirmed now. Everyone is playing their own games here and they all have their own goals to achieve just like me.What do I want in all this madness going around me? I have to make it clear to myself.Agent Vitali made my heart flutter today. Even if I
VALENTINA“ I want to go outside. ” I let out and his eyes narrow down, observing me, wanting to know my reason behind this demand.“ What are you planning? ” He asks, just like I expected.“ I have lived in a cage my whole life, Agent Vitali. I want to see the outside world. ” I gulp and reply, my eyes still staring in his.It’s not completely a lie, but it’s not the whole truth either.His grip on my waist and then hair loosens up. In his eyes, I see a unique emotion which can easily pass as pity.My gut twists, but I don’t back down. I can’t let his pity get to me when I am so close to getting what I want from him.“ You just want to run away, Valentina. But, you can’t. ” He takes a step back from me and his hands leave me at once.I loose the breath I held back for a while.H
