"Look me in the eyes while I'm fucking you." Kaiden grabbed me by the jaw and I glanced up at his perfectly sculpted face, only to be drawn to his mesmerizing caramel eyes, filled with lust and desire.
"God, you look so beautiful underneath me." He...
"Your sister told us everything, she's really worried about you."
"Sure she is."
"Do I even want to know?" Dante picked up on the sarcasm in Kaiden's voice.
"It's nothing, she is the least of my concerns right now."
"Very well then, now do you want to hear my plan or not."
"I'm listening."
La Capannina
Johnny basked in the attention of whispers and shy glances as he and Nova- the most beautiful woman in the room walked hand in hand across the floor.
"What are you having to drink amore?"
"Dance with me Johnny." Nova begged, the high from earlier still running through her veins.
"Do I look like someone who dances?"
"Please." Nova places Johnny's hands on her hips before lightly swaying them.
"Nova, I need you to be a good girl and sit here quietly until my business associates arrive, then you can go and dance." He placed a kiss against her neck, causing both of their heartbeats to accelerate.
"Fine." Nova pouts, waving the bartender over before taking a seat next to Johnny.
"No, that's not close enough." Johnny orders the model to stand up and proceeds to pull her on top of him, in response Nova snaked an arm around his neck.
"Better?" She whispered in his ear.
Before answering, the sound of glass shattering interrupted their moment. Kaiden stood a few meters away from the pair, ready to shatter Johnny's neck just as he did the glass in his hand. Dante tried to urge his son not to do anything reckless but Kaiden was ready for war.
The sight of her former lover managed to snap Nova away from Johnny's grasp, both physically and emotionally but it might have already been too late.
Kaiden's p.o.v
I stood in watch, unnoticed as the girl I was clearly ready to fight for snuggled up in another man's arms. Maybe I had all this wrong, maybe she wasn't his prisoner- clearly she looked happy, maybe Jerome was right - she was sent to destroy us and fuck she almost did.
About to lose hope and walk away from the monstrosity in front of me, I saw Nova reach out, her face riddled in concern - she must have noticed the blood pouring from my hand. Johnny was quick to stop her, grabbing her arm and whispering something that had my star sitting down quietly not even daring to look my way.
The bastard then smiled at me, clearly enjoying my reaction.
"Today's not the day you win this war." My father advised me, knowing I was about to do something that could possibly get me killed.
"You're right father, but I need to get a moment alone with Nova." I say, wrapping a handkerchief around my bleeding hand.
"Well then, there's your chance." My father discreetly gestured towards Johnny who was sending Nova away with one of his men.
"I'll distract the guard, make this time count." His words rang in my head as I readied myself to steal her away.
"Kaiden, what the hell are you doing?" She greeted me in protest.
"Something I haven't done in far too long." I gripped each side of Nova's face and kissed her deeply, allowing all my emotions to be exchanged between us. The way she melted in my arms told me exactly what I needed to know - I could trust this woman with my life.
"What, now you miss me? You didn't seem to care when you were partying it up in Japan." God this woman looked so sexy when she was angry - I had a million things to say to her, apologies, excuses, sweet little lies, the truth but not enough time to utter them.
Nova pulled away from my embrace and left me longing for her touch, but that's when I noticed them - injection marks all over her skin.
"Fucking hell Nova, are you using again?" I shouted in urgency, watching as Johnny's goon made his way towards us.
"It's nothing, I have it under control." She murmured and I began to notice her slight tremble.
"Fuck, just hold on for me star - everything is going to be okay." I promised before leaving her and couldn't help but blame myself for the mess we were in.
