The Boss Bride Chapter 61
VioletI squeeze my eyes shut and prepare for impact. I crash into something hard. Solid. The shock smashes through my system. I groan. This is not going to be pretty. Am I going to look like one of those people who jump from a height and ends up splattered over the sidewalk? Not that I have seen any in real life, thank God… But I have seen enough movies to know it’s a gruesome sight.The ground under me moves… Huh? I snap my eyes open, stare down into blazing blue eyes. Gone is the coldness, the remote look he had worn when I had last seen him. This man is angry…livid with the kind of rage that vibrates off of him and slams into my chest."You jumped." he growls, "you f*cking jumped.""It was only from the second story, besides I…I didn’t have a choice."Debris rains down on us and Michael steps aside, his movement so graceful I can only blink as he stares up. I don’t take my gaze off of his beautiful face as he growls, "Who the f*ck is up there?""One of the men who kidnapped me."Hi
The Boss Bride Chapter 62
Violet As it turns out, his idea of making it up to me is to transport me back to his island. He’d first driven me to a house in Palermo where a doctor—one he trusts, apparently—had checked me out. He’d checked out the wound at the back of my head, treated it, then given me a shot to help ease the pain. Guess Alessio didn’t want to risk taking me to a hospital, though the doctor had been competent and very professional. Then he had driven straight to the pier and whisked me up in his arms, despite my protesting that I’m not some stupid, helpless female. To which he’d retorted that he had rescued me, so perhaps I am more helpless than I thought. Which had promptly upset me more, but he’d ignored my reaction. He’d marched to his yacht… Yeah, there was a freakin’ yacht that he’d had anchored at the pier. He’d carried me aboard, parked me in a chair in the captain’s cabin, then had shrugged off his jacket and wrapped it about me. I had shoved one arm, then the other, into the sleeves, p
The Boss Bride Chapter 63
Alessio I had woken up in the early hours of the day to find her thrashing about and screaming, trapped in the throes of a nightmare. I had brought her to the island because it’s the only place where I can control everyone’s comings and goings…After making sure that the boathouse no longer holds any boats that she could use to get away from me again…that is. Then I’d taken her to my bedroom…There is no question in my mind that she belongs here. Not that I am going to touch her. She needs time and space to mend from what happened, not just physically but also emotionally. And clearly, I had been right in bringing her here, for she’d jack-knifed up in bed panting, no doubt, from the images of the debacle she’d been through… Which had been my fault. Because I’d let her leave… I’d told her to leave... Something I am not going to do again… And…I am going to makes sure that if, for some reason, she does... Or if, somehow, someone else dares to take her away from me, I’ll know where to fi

AlessioI left her room a few hours ago, and haven’t seen her since. Isabelle had informed me that she had taken lunch up to Beauty’s room and that she had eaten it all, as evidenced by the empty tray that had been deposited outside the door. Which is progress. At least, she is eating and happily ensconced in her studio. Which is more than I can say for myself. I glare at the fast-sinking sun on the horizon. Damn it, why is it that my thoughts are still on her?A knock on the door interrupts my thoughts, and I confess, it is with relief that I turn to find Christian walking in. I nod to my brother, then turn to the woman at his heels."Doc," I jerk my chin, "he’s briefed you on what I need?"She draws herself up to her full height, "I have been told what you’d like me to do, but I must record my complete disagreement with what you have proposed.""I wasn’t asking for your opinion.""I am giving it to you anyway," she firms her lips. "As a health care provider, as a professional, and as

Violett His command cuts through the thoughts in my head. Something primal inside of me rushes to obey him, and the vibrations which had been threatening at the base of my spine gallop out and up my back, to spark behind my eyes. I throw my head back, open my mouth and a soundless cry emerges. The climax crashes over me, and seems to go on and on. When I open my eyes, I am in his arms and being carried to the bathroom.He seats me on the sink, pulls off the thimbles from his fingers before he reaches over to wash his hands."Guess it’s a good thing that you ordered leather thimbles big enough to fit your fat fingers, eh?""You weren't complaining when I had said fat fingers inside you," he chuckles. "Let me," he murmurs, and I straighten.I watch as he wets a towel, then presses it between my legs.Heat sears my cheeks, "You don’t have to.""I want to.""None of this will change how I feel about you.""I don’t expect it to.""If you think setting up a studio for me will get you into

Alessio "It’s only me." I hold up my hands.She draws in a breath, "Alessio?" Her hushed voice shudders across my skin, and a shiver runs down my spine. My nerve endings pop. The blood drains to my groin as I lean forward in my seat."How are you feeling?""A little dazed," she yawns, then looks around the room, "Where am I? What happened?" She runs her fingers through her hair. "One moment you were kissing me, the next moment, I think I blacked out…""You were out for a little while," I concede."Why are you sitting in darkness?" I sense rather than see her scowl. She reaches over, flicks on the light next to the bed, then winces. She blinks her eyes as her eyesight adjusts, then glances over at me. "You going to tell me what happened?" She folds her arms about her waist.I rise up to my feet and walk over to her. Sink down next to her on the bed. Reach for her, but she pulls away."Oh, no," she shakes her head, "no, no, no." She throws up her hands. "Keep your distance, buster…""O

Violet"What do you mean, you chipped me?" I rub Andy’s head. He’s stopped feeding and proceeds to curl himself in my arms. Aww, sooo cute. A melting sensation coils in my chest. Just a few hours after I told him that I wanted a cat, he got me one. Not to mention, that Andy Warhol book, which was, like, totally unexpected. Okay, so he has more money and power than anyone else I’ve met in my life, but still… It means something that he noticed my tastes enough to actually buy me things which reflect who I am. No one else has done that before. Maybe Nina … I suppose, but she is my sister. She is supposed to know these things. This man, however, is practically a complete stranger, and in a few weeks, he has really gotten to know me well on so many levels, he—hang on a bloodysecond.I whip my head around to face him. "You chippedme, chipped me?"He nods."You…" I bite the inside of my cheek, "you put a GPS tracker in me?"He nods again."Holy shit." I glance around the kitchen, find a baske
The Boss Bride Chapter 68
Violet "What?" I scowl, "Say it.""That he’s afraid for your safety. That he’d do anything to protect you. That he doesn’t want you out of his sight. That he wants to make sure that if, for whatever reason, you are separated from him, he’ll know where to find you.""Ha," I scoff. "All this is just a power play. It probably turns him on to know that he can do anything with me. That he could even…even…put a bloody tracker on me so he’ll know exactly where I am every minute of every day.""And you like that?""What?""That he’s so…focused on you. That all of his attention is targeted on you."I flush. Honestly, there’s a part of me that revels in it…but damn, if I am going to admit that aloud. "Frankly, I don’t care for it. Especially not, if it means that he virtually has me on a leash here… Besides, it’s wrong. Can’t you see that? You don’t go around tagging another human being just because of your own insecurities.""You’re right," her shoulders slump. "It’s not the ‘done’ thing. But
