…SLATER POV…Staring at Kage, still burning white-hot with fury, it brings back all those nights. Nights when I was so angry at him, and myself for the part we both played in chasing Avy away. The plan never was to get her to leave town, we were trying to teach her a lesson for playing us all.But Kage had a temper, and he felt betrayed.There was no way that he was going to let Avy make him look like a fool. So he pushed her as far as he could, so far that she eventually left.And it broke me.It splintered my heart into so many goddamn pieces, I could not find anything that would put it back together again.But now, she is back.And all those feelings, those emotions, they have been pulled from the grave that has been my heart.I know I should not.But I feel alive again for the first time in years.Though this thing with Kage and Niko, I need them to stop because if they don’t, it will push Avy away again. Yes, I am the last one that approves of what Kage did to get her here, but s
If my life was not a mess before, then it is now nothing but a fuck up. I have not been in this town for a goddamn hour and I have had all three Xavier brothers doing what they do best…Claiming what they think is theirs.And did I stop them?Not the least fucking bit.I need to get as far away from the three of them, but what my head tells me is not what my body wants. My body has done nothing but betray me with each encounter I have had. It seems that not only did these boys do some growing up, but the addiction they bring, has me craving them stronger than any drug.Stronger than ever before.With each whispered breath, they have by their heated touch set my body completely alight. I am so near damn close to exploding, if one of them edges their way over my lace panties, I might just erupt.Standing here with Slater as he pulls me back closer to him, there is nothing that I want more than to give in. Seeing him bulging in those skinny jeans, has me wanting the one thing that I cann
The very words send a chill to my spine.How can my father possibly be in trouble with the Xavier brothers?What I have learned only but an hour ago from Slater is that they own this pub. But my father is not a drinker and even less is my mother. The possibility of them causing trouble here is more like slim to nothing. So how has my father gotten himself mixed up with the brothers?Do I even want to know?Guess I will have to find out.So very reluctantly and shit scared to learn the truth, I push Olivia for the answers, “How is dad mixed up with the Xavier brothers?She only but stares at me, and from the terrified look on her face, she is not willing to go into detail. Judging from her reluctance, it must be bad.But still…How is the Xavier brother involved in this?I need to know what the fuck is going on here.“Olivia, if this is the reason you dragged my ass back home, then at least give me a fucking explanation.”“It… was…” I watch as she hesitates. Something has her spooked,
…KAGE POV…The way she is making my cock feel as she pouts those lips in utter frustration makes me want to pin her to that fucking couch and let my hands explore every inch of her body. The mere thought of how they will feel wrapped around my head is driving me crazy. The only desire consuming me is to taste every curve that is Avyanna Tate.I am trying to remain the level-headed businessman that I should be, but trying to remember the feeling of her bare naked skin far out ways any business I feel like discussing. The only thing that should be moving is our lips in perfect precision, and our bodies falling in harmony as I take her to the edge and drop her down into a pool of ecstasy.To think there was a time that I hated this woman, and now all I can think of is having her back between my sheets. Seeing that wet…“Wipe that stupid grin off your face and tell me what you want, Kage.”What do I want?You… Naked… Spread open… On that table…“Kage!”“Patience, Avyanna, we have all day.
“Is that a yes, Avyanna?”I watch him as the impatience seems to grow with each ticking second. This Kage is a far cry from the one I knew ten years ago. He is determined to get what it is that he wants. But my question begs, what is it exactly that he is trying to achieve with this seemingly innocent business proposal?One thing that will never change about this man…You cannot trust him.“What happens if I say no?”For a brief moment, I see his eyes grow wider than my fucking hoop earrings. Something gives me the idea that he believes that I will just give in without any question. I mean, how bad can my dad’s debt be?“How much does my dad owe you?”Throwing his head back, he bursts out in a fit of laughter again, “That little modeling salary of yours will not even make a dent in it.”“How much, Kage?”Standing from the couch, he walks over to his desk and continues to retrieve a blue folder. Then, as he comes back to take his seat again, he slowly slides it over to me. With rather
…KAGE POV…“Kage, please stop. Let him go.”I hear Avyanna’s voice echo over my shoulder. Pleading and begging, but what she is saying, I really do not know. She could be declaring her undying love, and I would not give a shit right now. My only purpose is to teach this fucking pig some manners.But the fool is looking up at me with a goddamn smirk on that pretty-boy face. Not only does it infuriate me, but that rage within me only grows. With my fist twisting firmly into his fake designer shirt, my voice rumbles like growing thunder, “You DO NOT touch Avyanna like that.”With his voice taunting, he dares to spit in mocking laughter, “Who the fuck do you think you are?”“I already told you, but it seems that you are so goddam thick that I am going to have to show you.”I show for Slater and Niko to grab him by the arms and lift him from the filthy pavement. Then, just as I am about to ball my hand into a fist, I feel Avyanna pulling me back, “Please, Kage. I told you I will do it.”I
Watching as Liam drives off, I won’t lie, but I feel a sense of relief. I knew that coming back home will complicate things, but I did not quite foresee it doing a complete one-eighty. If I must be honest with myself, I am glad to see him go. After all, I did not want him here to begin with as it is.But judging by the unspoken rage that has consumed him, I know that give him a day or two and he will be back to check up on me.Now how Kage will take that is yet to be seen. Though he already has this idea in his head that I belong to him.He has just taken my luggage and thrown it in the back of a ridiculously overpriced sports car. It seems that the Xavier brothers have more money than they know what to do with. I truly thought that he was just all big mouth about owning this town, but I think I might have slightly underestimated him.While he continues to load my belongings into the back of his car, I have Olivia standing in front of me with eyes that hold so much sorry it looks like
Oh that is so not happening!Feeling as the rage slowly crawl over my skin, it takes me less than two giant strides and I have my hand firmly pressed into Kage’s shoulder and spinning him around, “What did you just say?”With nothing but a wicked smirk growing at the edges of those lips, he brings his mouth only inches away from mine, “I do not like repeating myself but taken that trembling lip is turning me the fuck on, I will say this once again.” Then as he brushes his lips over mine, I can feel him smile, “You will be staying with me for the next three months. And by with me, I mean in my room.”“That will not fucking happen. That was not part of the deal.”“Oh Avyanna, you should ask next time before you agree to do something.”“I don’t give a shit, Kage. I will not share a room and even moreover a bed for that matter.”Keeping my eyes locked with his, with his lips only inches away from mine, I can feel the heat starting to consume him. I am not sure if it is from the rage build
