Hope you enjoyed the race. Steamy scene in the next chapter!
Chapter 129 ALLESIA ~~~0~~~ Russel led me back into the car, and I sat quietly, unsure of what to say or how to react. He had pretty much just informed me that everything that happened from the minute he drove into that race scene was a deliberate attempt to scare me, to make me mad. He had deliberately stalled, letting me think Aldo would win, accepting that bet so I’d feel horrified throughout the race. He deliberately didn’t introduce me before the race; they all knew except me. But he won the race, and he kissed me in front of them. Was I supposed to be happy or sad? “You okay?” he asked, his eyes scheming over me for the longest moment. “I’m still trying to decide if I should be mad at you or just be glad you won.” He reclined in his seat, a smirk lighting up his face. “You deliberately ignored me for a whole week, wearing those sexy clothes to tease me, yet you wouldn’t let me come an inch close to you. Then I got a lead on the case you asked me to prove, excitedly came t
Chapter 130 ALLESIA ~~~0~~~ His touch became more demanding, more punishing, more needy– it felt as though I had awoken a different beast inside him. Picking me up with a firm grip around my waist, he dumped me on the car like I was a rag doll. With both hands, he held my right leg up like it was a prized jewel, his eyes hot on my face as his tongue trailed kisses from my toes back to my inner thighs. “You think he would worship you like this?” He sneered, his breath fanning my bare body hotly, “Do you think he can make your legs go weak like this? Do you see how much they're shaking, Allesia?” I swallowed hard as one hand went around my neck, slightly disrupting my airflow, “That is something only I can do to you.” “Nolan—Nolan didn't try to touch me again after that day,” I managed to say. “But you preferred his company to mine,” he retorted, “You stayed with him all those weeks, he brought you flowers everyday and you hugged him at the door.” I didn't even have to ask ho
Chapter 131 RUSSEL ~~~0~~~ “Marry me, Allesia,” I murmured, resting my forehead on hers. “Please.” She froze in my arms, her eyes fluttering open, scanning my face like she was trying to be sure I had actually said something. I kept my expression serious, giving her time as her mind struggled to process my words. “Russel,” she whispered, her voice barely audible, “Are you serious?” “Never been more serious in my life,” I replied, my eyes intensely searching hers for an answer. “I want you, Allesia, not just because I’ve not been able to resist you from the first day I saw you, but because I’ve loved you ever since that day, hence my inability to let you go.” I cradled her closer, and a soft gasp escaped her half-parted lips. “Protecting you is something I want to spend the rest of my days doing, and making you mine forever is the only way to validate my claim on you—I want you forever, Allesia.” Her heart raced against my skin, and I could see the whirlwind of emotions in her e
Chapter 132RUSSEL ~~~°~~~After we finished, I took my time to bathe Allesia, ensuring she received the princess treatment she deserved. I was meticulous, making sure to avoid anything strenuous in the shower this time.Once I was certain she was clean and relaxed, I took my own shower, allowing her to unwind in the bathtub until I was done. I put on simple sweatpants and came back to her.“Let’s get you to bed,” I said, lifting her once again in my arms and carrying her to the bedroom.I carried her bridal style to the bed, drying her gently with a fluffy towel before tucking her under the sheets. I massaged her skin with scented oil to help her nerves relax, enjoying the way her muscles softened under my touch.After she was relaxed, I brought one of my shirts, and she slid it on. Slowly, I worked all the buttons, lingering just slightly to let my fingers graze the soft mounds of her breasts, enjoying the feel and the way her eyes closed dreamily as she leaned against a pillow.“I
Chapter 133 RUSSEL ~~~°~~~ “I’m afraid you’re taking too much for granted right now, Russel,” Kegan stated, tight-lipped. “You know I’m the last person who would ever lie to you.” It was rare to see Kegan this composed, this stern, and that demeanor was seriously grating on my nerves. “Is this about me not taking your calls? I know how much you hate that, Dad, I’m really sorry, but I don’t need the lesson right now, please.” “We have a situation on our hands, and you’ve had over a whole month to act on it, yet your only focus has been on something else entirely—that detective.” I rolled my eyes, “Allesia was mad at me.” Kegan released a frustrated sigh. “Cut me some fucking slack!” he hissed. “Have you forgotten what Ignacio told you? People are watching. I don’t know how you’ve suddenly started feeling like Ken in a fucking Barbie world, but this is real life, your real world. Every second counts because a lot could go wrong in a split second.” “Exactly what is this about?”
Chapter 134 ALLESIA ~~~°~~~ I woke up to find Russel beside me, still working. His focus was so intense that he didn’t even notice I was awake. Not wanting to disturb him, I watched decide to enjoy the show. His eyes were so dull and that made my heart ache for him, he works too much! He was still bare chested, so I enjoyed the beautiful view of his angelic masculinity. That was until I unconsciously shifted on the bed, attracting his eyes. They lit up as soon as he saw me, and he quickly closed the laptop, lifting it off his lap and placing it on the bedside table. He leaned in and kissed me softly, a half smile playing on his cheek. “Morning, angel,” The simple act of his lips brushing against mine sent a jolt of electricity zapping between us. It was like I was being tickled by my crush for the first time, memories of what we did in that dark parking lot just last night flooded back and a deep blush greased my cheeks. “Good morning,” I responded, returning his ki
Chapter 135 ALLESIA ~~~0~~~ Yesterday, I had a comfortable place to work in. Not everyone knew I had any connection with the intimidating mafia boss, Russel, who so happened to be their boss’s boss until he pulled up in the studio to threaten them and also issue a strong warning to the boss’s before dragging me out. Today's shoot was grueling. Everyone was on edge, treating me with a mix of cautious respect and awkward politeness. Russel's dramatic appearance yesterday had clearly rattled them, and Mario, the director, was no exception. Normally, any model whose partner caused such a disruption would have been swiftly dismissed, but for some reason which I suspected to be Russel making sure that wasn’t an option for me, I wasn’t fired, warned or anything. I could even sense the tension in Mario's demeanor when he came in that morning, a clear sign that Russel had most likely had a stern word with him sometime yesterday, and you could guess who did most of the talking there.
Chapter 136 ALLESIA ~~~0~~~ An idea suddenly occurred to me as we left the pharmacy, “Luca, can you do me a little favour?” I asked with a pout. “Sure, anything.” His expression was cautious. “Well, since Russel is busy, I was hoping you could take me to my family home.” Luca’s frown deepened as he looked at me through the rearview mirror, “Miss, I really don’t think Capo would like that.” “It doesn’t matter. I really need to see my mother,” I insisted. “I understand, but Capo was very specific about your safety.” “He doesn’t have to know if you don’t tell him, we’ll be quick.” “There’s no way he’ll not know, there’s a tracker in this car which is directly connected to his phone,” I frowned, “Then I guess we’ll just have to take the chances. And don’t say no.” Luca sighed, “How long do you intend to stay?” “Just long enough to see my family, but you can drop me off and come back later? It’s just my Mum,” “I’m afraid I can’t leave you,” Luca insisted.
