Devine sat at the edge of the bed, his hand gently caressing her soft cheeks.
“I had the best night of my life last night, momma. And I hope to have more with you, in my arms.” His voice was a gentle whisper as he mouthed his desire softly.
He sat next to her gently for a long before dropping a gentle kiss on her forehead.
“I will be back to have you In my arms, but right now, I need to go deal with that bastard that thinks he could trouble you.”

The gentle ray of the sunlight penetrated through the room and rested gently on Nuella’s cheeks.
She stretched her arms upward, rolling gently on the bed. suncincupusly, her hands found the side of the bed and confirmed it was empty.
She blinked back, her lashes fluttering open at the realization that no one was there on the bed with her. Her eyes scanned the bed in disbelief for some seconds.
She threw the duvet to cover herself properly, getting up from the bed. She looked around the big spacious room, worries clouding her mind. Her mind strayed off to last night and the burning ache of her pussy as she tried to seat up.
Of course, she knew they were not a thing but she wanted to wake up to his gentle kisses on her skin and the sound of his deep baritone voice.
Her chest tightened at the thought that followed- had he left because he had gotten what he wanted? Did he not enjoy their time together last night? Did he just want her pussy and nothing more? This thought crawled at her giving regret a chance to step forward.
A knock came on the door, pulling Nuella out of her trance, before she could say a word, the housekeeper walked in dressed in a professional, white shirt that was tugged into a black pant.
“Good morning, miss.” She greeted and bowed softly.
“Good morning,” Nuella replied, slightly confused.
“My lord instructed me to check up on you when you are awake and make sure you are fine.”
Nuella’s mouth parted to say a word but they closed again.
“Where is he?” She finally asked, looking closely at the lady.
“Stuff like that is not for my knowledge, miss. The boss is strict and keeps things confidential.” The lady replied gently, shattering the shores of hope that was guilding her wary heart.
Nuella pressed her lips into a thin line unsure of what to say, but his mind was stary afar, lingering with the thoughts that Devine might have run off to have a taste of the women who could handle his 9 inches cock.
“Your bath whatever has been arranged, ma’am. Let me know when you need anything….” The lady bowed and turned to leave.
Need? Nuella made a mental ask. She would not be needing anything. It was clear that Devine left because he couldn’t stand the sight of her and he didn’t want to say it to her himself.
As if the lady had the slightest idea of her thoughts. She turned back to Nuella and made a gentle bow.
“He also asks that you wait till he arrives.” She added gently and Nuella scoffed, staring at the lady with an expression that held confusion and disbelief.

The damp air clung to the stone walls of the dimly lit dungeon. Shadows danced under the faint flicker of a single hanging bulb, casting a menacing glow over the room. Devine stood in the center, his tailored black suit untouched by the filth surrounding him. He exuded power-an unshakable force of calm brutality that made even silence oppressive.
On the floor, a trembling man knelt, his wrists bound in chains. Blood dripped from his swollen lip, staining the concrete beneath him. His breathing was shallow, punctuated by wheezes as if the very air he inhaled had to fight its way in.
Devine stepped forward, his polished shoes clicking against the stone floor. His hands were steady, clasped behind his back. His voice, low and cold, sliced through the thick air.
“You had the nerve,” Devine said, his tone unnervingly composed, “to threaten her.” He crouched to the man’s level, his sharp gaze pinning him like prey. “Nuella. My Nuella. And for what? To please James? To sow chaos? Or was it just sheer stupidity?”
The man shook his head violently. “I-it wasn’t personal. It was just-just business.”
Devine tilted his head, a bitter smile ghosting across his lips. “Ah, business. And now, I am here to handle mine.”
Without another word, Devine stood and gestured. A guard handed him a slender metal rod. Devine weighed it in his hand for a moment, then brought it down sharply across the man’s shoulder. The sickening crack of bone echoed in the chamber, followed by the man’s scream.
“Shh,” Devine murmured, his voice as calm as the eye of a storm. “You’ll wake the rats.”
The man sobbed, clutching his shoulder. “Please… please, I’ll never-”
“You’ll never what?” Devine interrupted, leaning down again. “Never try to blackmail her again? Never run back to James with your tail between your legs? Or is it that you’ll never breathe again?”
Tears streamed down the man’s face, mixing with the blood. “I swear, I swear-”
Devine stood, wiping his hands with a handkerchief as if the very air near the man had sullied him. “You don’t swear to me,” he said coldly. “You obey. Now, listen carefully.”
He bent down once more, grabbing the man by the collar and pulling him close. His voice dropped to a lethal whisper. “You will go back to James. You will tell him that no one threatens Nuella. No one sends lies to her father. And no one… no one challenges me.”
The man whimpered, nodding frantically.
Devine released him with a shove, letting him crumple to the floor. He motioned for the guards. “Throw him out. Let him crawl back to James on broken bones if he must.”
As the guards dragged the battered man away, Devine exhaled, closing his eyes for a brief moment. Then, as if the violence had melted away, his mind drifted away, to the thoughts of Nuella.
The calm in his every storm.
A smile touched his lips as he thought about Nuella and the feeling from last night-It was the best feeling ever! Being buried in her warm tight willing pussy. He loved the fuck from yesterday and he was in for another, sweet sex.
Devine’s eyes moved to his wristwatch.
“Fuck!” He cursed gently. It’s past one already and he knew his woman was awake already.
He threw his phone back into his pocket and walked out of the dungeon ready to go take his woman into his arm.
