“Aren’t you a fiery little thing,” The man mused, that devilish smile that looked anything but handsome, lingering at the corner of his lips. Just as Natalie thought, he expected her to cry and began to beg on her knees. It wasn’t happening.
“No wonder he’s so invested in you, your fierce eyes are a wet dream,” His hand left her hair to trail down her face until she turned the other away and he let her be or so Natalie thought.
The next minute he lifted her chin and turned her so she couldn’t look away from him, “But that’s alright, because, by the time I’m done with you, I’ll make sure he feels each and every pain he’s made me pass through,” he was now grabbing her chin so tight her eyes watered.
A shiver went down Natalie’s spine when she saw the threat in the man’s eyes and she wondered what she had done to deserve this. It was like jumping from frying pan to fire, first Daniel, now Daniel’s enemies. Damn it, She should have listened to Penelope when she told her to leave Daniel for dead that day. Had she done that, she wouldn’t be dealing with this shit, right now. However, it was too late to complain about the spilled milk, so she could only think about how to get out of this mess.
However, almost immediately, there was the sound of a gunshot and she stiffened. Well, not only her, the mad man beside her too, and the fear she saw in his gaze gave her sudden hope, because whatever he feared meant that it was good for her. Call it instinct but Natalie knew it was him, Daniel. He came for her and as mad as she was at him for leading her into this mess, she was relieved at the same time. She was not going to die, help was coming!
“Fuck!” The man cursed with panic when the gunshot increased and she knew that it was an exchange between his men and Daniel’s people.
“I should have known he would track you down!” He began to pull at the knot at her leg trying to release it so she could walk. He wanted to hide her away from Daniel. It was too soon and he hasn’t even started any of his plans.
However, the moment Natalie’s legs were free, she lifted her knee without warning and rammed it into his face and the moment he stumbled back, she took the chance to run even though her hands were tied.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t run far because he pulled her back by the hair and she cried out in pain. The moment he got her, a slap met her face and Natalie swore she felt her ear ring and saw stars in her vision. She was still reeling from the effect of the slap when the man pulled her off the ground to his body and she saw a shadow step out into the light at the same time.
It was Daniel and he looked like an angel of death.
Daniel’s Whore
Natalie had never seen Daniel mad and to be honest, it wasn’t any different than the passive expression he held when discussing his secret business with papa, however, she could tell the difference. She could tell the anger from the tick on his jaw and the blood that splattered across his cheek made him look more sinister.
Though he looked amused, there was a dark, dangerous glint in his eyes that made her thank God that she wasn’t the one at the receiving edge of his anger. In one word, Daniel seethed silently and it didn’t look pretty unlike the panicking idiot that had her by the throat and used her body to shield him.
He feared Daniel, Rhea could smell that off him and it left her confused. Was Daniel really that good at killing people? Was that why he feared him? Maybe she shouldn’t rejoice that much, what if Daniel killed her afterward? No, he was holding business with her papa so she was safe, for the moment. Natalie made a mental note never to provoke him – if she survived today.
“Have you come to collect your woman? You couldn’t even wait a day, is her pussy that sweet?” He sneered.
Whoah, whoah, what the hell? Natalie was offended. Where was that coming from? What gave him the impression that she was Daniel’s whore? She still hasn’t even understood why the man even targeted her in the first place because as far as she knows, she and Daniel were not together – and would never be.
“Hey, asshole, I think you’re mistaken -” Natalie nearly choked when the man tightened his grip on her neck and she saw a shift in Daniel’s expression. Surely, he wasn’t concerned about her, right? Well, even if he was, it was only because she was his client’s daughter and he was the reason she was here. Yeah, he only cared about her because it would affect his business with her papa, Natalie told herself.
“Why don’t you let her go and I would make your death less painful?” Daniel finally spoke up and if it wasn’t for his taut body, she would have found his nonchalance offensive. He looked relaxed even when the man was almost choking her.
“Make my death less painful?” He scoffed, a crazed look in his eyes, “You might be able to do that but I would take a piece of you with me,” He laughed and the next thing Natalie knew, a gun’s muzzle was pressing against her temple and her blood ran cold. She was going to die. God, she was going to die!
Her heart began to pound faster while her palms were clammy with sweat and the moment Daniel took a step forward, he pressed the gun further against her temple and it did nothing to calm her nerves. Step back, you idiot! Does he want to get her killed?!
…..
“Really? Can you do that?” Daniel tipped his head to the side with a smile. Wait a minute, an actual smile? Was he kidding her? He was goading the man, not calming him! Daniel would cause her death.
To prove her point, she felt the man’s nervousness increase, and the gun’s muzzle was now biting into her skin, leaving an imprint. This was it, she was going to die because of Daniel’s caustic mouth and stupidness.
“I’m going to end her life before you end mine,” The man said as if to assure himself that he was in control here and not Daniel.
“I have snipers in place already and you should watch your back because that red dot from behind would end your life quicker than you could pull your trigger,” Daniel smirked devilishly and Natalie felt the moment the man’s grip loosened as he turned to see what he was talking about.
It all happened in a split second because the moment he turned his head, Daniel winked at her and call it instinct or something, but she knew that there was no sniper behind them and the wink was a signal. Signal for what? Natalie had no idea but she was not sitting around to find out.
The man turned back with rage when he discovered that there was no window in his position but a wall, he had forgotten that thanks to his nerves and Daniel just tricked him which wasn’t good. With Daniel here, he knew that he was fighting a losing battle, however, he swore to hurt Daniel in the process too. He had to kill that woman.
However, that single turn of his head was a mistake and the opening Natalie needed to turn her fate around. She only hoped that this wouldn’t turn out to be a mistake. So she slammed her head back into his jaw and the man cursed, his grip losing around her neck. Unfortunately, he was quick to resume control, his finger curling around the trigger, ready to blast her head off but Daniel was faster.
Bang!
Daniel fired, the shot catching him straight in the hand holding that gun so he had no choice but to drop it with a curse as blood seeped instantly from his finger and Natalie was able to escape from his clutch. She ran to safety and crouched down, covering her ears with her palms as the second shot rang out.
The second shot destroyed his kneecap and the man’s scream echoed throughout the warehouse making Natale close her ear further. She was not a huge fan of violence and this one was playing out right in front of her. If Natalie didn’t fear Daniel before, she had a good reason to do so now as she watched the brutal execution.
“When I make an offer, I make sure to deliver it. I told you I would make your death less painful, you should have taken up the offer when it wasn’t too late,” Daniel told the man as he approached him with the stance of a predator. Daniel was in control and he knew that.
“Go to hell,” He sneered.
A shadow fell over Daniel’s face as he said, “Don’t worry, that’s where you’re clearly headed.”
Bang!
Lust After Me
Everything happened right in front of her and Natalie couldn’t even tell how she was able to stomach the scene without throwing up, but she somehow did.
Daniel had not been kidding when he said he won’t give him an easy death. He shot the man so many times that she couldn’t keep count anymore and he should be dead already. However, he intentionally missed out on the vital parts meaning that the man was left to bleed out on the floor while suffering the pain of the torture Daniel put him through.
When he was satisfied with his handwork, Daniel finally put him out of the misery by landing a clean shot between his eyes. Once he died, the environment fell still and Natalie couldn’t even breathe carelessly as she finally stood to her feet, her legs almost giving out in the process.
Natalie should be afraid of Daniel having seen what he could do, he brutally murdered her kidnapper right in front of her. But then, she couldn’t erase the fact that he almost caused her death by provoking the man in the first place – she escaped narrowly. So when Daniel came in her direction, she lashed out.
“Are you crazy?! What the hell is wrong with you?! Do you know how close I came to – mmm,” Natalie was stunned when Daniel suddenly dug his hand into her hair and yanked on it, pulling her close to his body and closed his mouth over hers.
For over a minute, she couldn’t think as Daniel’s lips pressed against hers in a kiss, no, she couldn’t believe what was happening. Her eyes were as wide as the moon and she stood at the spot frozen as he plundered her lips. Then it hit her, Daniel was kissing her. Holy bananas, what the hell?
Without a second thought, Natalie tried to push him away, but he wrapped his arm around her waist, pressing her to his body so there was nothing between them except their clothes. She could feel his hard body and was highly tempted to run her hands down his body and trace his hard biceps. No! She shook the ridiculous thought out of her mind.
With a sudden burst of strength, Natalie was able to push him away and landed a slap on his cheek, his face whipping to the side.
“How dare you?!” She was shaking with rage.
…..
But Daniel must be an animal because he grabbed her hair again and crushed his lips on hers. There was no gentle exploration this time which she had let happen earlier thanks to the shock – she had not seen it coming – now it was pure domination.
With the rage fueling her, Natalie tried to push him away but he was as immovable as a wall. The kiss was hard and bruising and that infuriated her the more. So she snapped her teeth together, refusing to part her mouth for him. But that animal called Daniel bit on her lower lips and she yelped in pain and his tongue took that chance to invade her mouth, stealing her breath away.
Natalie let out a garbled protest but he swallowed the sound, and it came out sexual. She could feel her defenses crumbling down little by little and It didn’t help matters that Daniel was a damn good kisser, hence, before long, Natalie was kissing him back.
But even with her willingness, Daniel didn’t ease the brutality of the kiss. He pushed her roughly against the pillar behind her and the pain made her gasp, however, it surprisingly turned into pleasure as he kissed her senseless.
