Layla’s P. O. V.
I knew Logan was upset when he dragged me away and out of the party premises into a secluded room. His fingers dug into my arm and I had to hold back a scream.
This side of the house wasn’t a room, it was more like a large dome like structured side of the house resembling a library with a large tall ancient shelf carrying identical brown books on it. There’s several flower pots seated around and a desk table at one side. This looked like a public study room and I wondered why Nigel would have that in his house. I doubt he was married.
Logan tossed me to the side harshly causing me to hit my back against the shelf. I thought the life in me escaped my throat. He looked angry. He was furious. I knew he’d seen the colonel talking to me and now I’ve only just got to play right and not get punished. I couldn’t tell him what Morin had said. No matter how much I said I didn’t believe him, Logan was still going to punish me and he would definitely have Morin killed too.
I watched with squinted eyes as Logan advanced towards me, his much taller and broader frame towering over mine intimidatingly.
” I see you enjoyed his arms around you, Layla ” ha spoke, his breath fanning my face.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
I looked at him, surprised. Of all the things I thought he’d say, I never expected he’d say that. I never expected he’d act on jealousy.
When I didn’t speak, he grabbed my arm roughly and roared harshly ” answer me!”
” No,…” My voice broke as the pain shot through my arm ” it wasn’t like that. Please….. you’re hurting me”
Logan’s eyes watched me for a while, tears brimming at my eyes now. He slowly let’s go and Inches even closer, leaving no space between us as his hard chest grazed mine softly.
” I know that you enjoyed his hands all over you, Layla and that you would probably sleep with him if I gave you the chance” he spoke directly into my ear.
I gulped hard and painfully. His accusation was painful but I couldn’t prove him otherwise. He would probably hit me at this point if I try to defend myself. So I kept my gaze down.
” You wanna get touched so badly?” His lips grazed my ear, his hand going up my clothed stomach. When his lips nibbed my neck, I tried to hold back a moan. How stupid of me to actually enjoy the feel of his lips against my skin when he just hurt me. But he doesn’t stop. His lips continued to lash kisses on my collar bone and down my cleavage, his hand molesting my entire body.
“Stop” I tried to push him off. He angrily pushes my arms back against the shelf and pulled back to look into my face. That’s when I saw it. The burning desire in his eyes, the lust. I knew he wanted me but he was also upset.
” Tell me Layla, what were you so much discussing with the colonel?”
I shut my eyes as the words left his mouth.
“Answer me while I’m asking nicely Layla” his words are moaned into my ear, causing a strange wetness between my legs.
I raked my brain for what to say but I couldn’t think properly. Not when his hands are all over my body and I could feel his breath against my skin.
” Nothing… I … he only asked me if I’m from around here” I blurted.
“Just that?” He pulls back.
I watched his eyes as they poured down on me and waited for the worse.
He surprises me when his lips lifted up into a smirk and his hand patted my hair, before he whispered “liar ”
What Morin said about him holding girls hostage reoccurred to me and I fought myself not to ask the question but it escaped me regardless.
” I need to ask you something” I spoke before he could succeed in opening his mouth to say another word. ” I wanna know….. If you ever held other girls hostage before”
I saw how his eyes changed, how the colors drained out and left them cold and intimidating. I saw surprise and anger in them. Surprise that I knew about his little secret that wasn’t so secret except to me and angry that I even found out.
What he does next surprises me because he slams the pile of hard books behind my head and spoke angrily into my face.
” I have a much more interesting question for you, Layla ” I watched his eyes, surprised at the turn of events ” I know Morin offered to help you escape and as I talk to you right now, he’s about to leave with the back elevator open. Would you leave if I asked you go right now?”
I watched his eyes intensively. He had that mad smile on again, the smile that said he was enjoying this. He enjoyed testing me and torturing me. He steps away from the exit and added ” you can leave and never see me again, I won’t stop you”
My eyes moved from his face to the exit. That way led to the party and from there I could get to this elevator and leave him behind. He could be saying the truth this time, he wouldn’t test me with all that people in here. They would catch on. Unless they were all in together.
My fingers fidgeted with my dress as I watched the exit for a long time. I knew I could go. But suddenly, I knew I couldn’t leave.
I couldn’t leave him because….
Because I loved him.
Logan grabs hold of my hand and made sure his face was watching mine, his smile lengthening as he spoke ” I thought as much”.
Then he was dragging me out of the party towards the back, until we were outside in the cold night.
