His Beautiful Addiction

Tiana shut her front door and crashed against it, her breath ragged.

What did he mean by grandpa lying to her? What part of what grandpa said was a lie?

He was clearly together with Claire, so how was it a lie?

Tiana sighed, but she could not help thinking about why he had come all the way to see her. Should she listen to what he had to say?

She thought but she quickly shook her head;

What was the use? Nothing could happen between them again, he was with Claire now. Listening to him was just calling pain all over again. She had cried enough, she wasn't about to start crying all over again.

Tiana pulled herself from the door and retired to bed, shutting her eyes. She tried to sleep but she couldn't, her ears were alert as though she was waiting to hear a knock on her front door, but throughout the night, no knock came. Tiana didn't know when she finally fell asleep after long hours of waiting; she woke up by a few minutes past 10 the next morning.

She stretched herself on her bed and yawned, still feeling weak, but her eyes hurled open when she remembered something and she jumped up and ran to the front door, pulling it open, she peeked outside.

He was gone…

Tiana's heart sank when she saw that he was not there, she pouted with annoyance and pulled herself back into the house. Why did he bother trying to climb over her gate when he could leave so easily without a fight?

She hissed, slamming her door close angrily.

Going back in, she hurriedly prepared for work; she had already received a text from Claire saying they would be going over the script by 12 pm, so she needed to be there early.

Tiana locked her doors and stepped out of the house hurriedly, because of her busy schedule, she didn't have the time to go for driving lessons anymore, so she had been taking Uber.

Tiana stood outside her gate as she peeked at her phone, checking if the Uber she ordered had arrived, suddenly, a black van pulled up in front of her. She frowned wondering who it was, but before she could even say a word, the back of the van pulled open and two men in black jumped out and scooped her into the van. She opened her lips to scream, but it was tied instantly with a cloth, her eyes were covered next, and her hands were tied too.

Tiana couldn't believe what was happening. Who could have kidnapped her?

Her mind thought of anyone capable of doing such and she could only think of one person.

Nicklaus Howells!

Why was he kidnapping her? Did he want to lock her up again?!

Her face paled and she felt her breath ceasing; no… she couldn't go back to that place… no…

''Let me go! Let me go now! Please! '' Her voice was muffled since it had cloth stuffed in it but she didn't stop screaming. But no matter how much she shouted, no-one spoke to her. Tiana finally shut up when she got tired. There was nothing she could do anyway. Screaming was just going to drain her energy.

Her closed eyes flung open when she felt the van come to a halt; she heard the men in the car move and push open the van; then jump out.

''Where is she? '' Tiana's eyes widened when she heard the familiar voice and she started screaming; she knew it was him all along. Why did he kidnap her? Why won't he let her go!

Tiana screamed as she felt a strong pair of hands lift her up and toss her over his shoulders. His scent wafted into her nostrils and shock washed through her.

Why was he carrying her? He had guards, why was he carrying her himself?

Tiana could not get her head around any of it, but she didn't struggle against him; she let him carry her into the house and up the stairs.

She knew he was going to his room, but she did not fight. What was the use of fighting in the devils' territory?

Nicklaus dropped Tiana softly on a sofa in his room, his hands lifted to her eyes and he undid the band over them. Tiana's eyes fluttered and they opened, locking in his. He was staring at her, passionately, and with great affection, which was a great contrast to the glare in Tiana's eyes.

''Hmm! '' Tiana hummed, pushing her mouth forward, signaling him to untie her.

Nicklaus untied her immediately but he hadn't even finished taking off the cloth when Tiana burst out in anger;

''How dare you! How dare you kidnap me! I am not going to serve you anymore! You can't keep me hostage! Let me go now! Let me go at once!"

Nicklaus stared at her threatening form spewing fire and brimstone and he smiled;

This woman… you talk too much…

In the next second, he leaned down and covered her lips with his, shutting her up. Tiana's eyes grew with shock. She was not expecting that at all. Her whole body calmed as though she had just been poured a bucket of water.

Nicklaus held her neck and tilted his head deepening the kiss. He kissed her wildly without restrain, sucking on her tongue like it was his last breath. Tiana's hands were tied, so she couldn't do anything.

Her eyes shut close as she got drunk in his kiss, unable to resist. She had longed for him so much that her brain shut down every atom of reason and let him take her. Instead of resisting, she found herself arching towards him, and kissing him back. After a long while, Nicklaus let go of her lips, and pecked her cheeks, then straightened himself.

Tiana's lashes fluttered and she blinked her eyes open; she looked up to him and her eyes drowned in his intense gaze and at that moment, she forgot how to speak. She just sat there staring at him with ragged breath and a flushed face, like a lost puppy.

Nicklaus smiled and licked his lips;

''Now you can listen to me. ''
