Hey everybody, sorry for the long wait. I had exams and shit to deal with, but I'm here now with another update. This chapter and the next is kinda different. Although it is part of this book, it's also part of another book (Connor and Harmony's book) that I'm working on. I hope you enjoy it. I'd ask you all to comment and tell me what you think, but you're gonna keep your comments to yourselves anyway.  

Connor's P.O.V

I couldn't take my eyes off of her, from the moment I first saw her I knew I had to have her. And I always get what I want. The sway of her lovely hips was hypnotizing, making me want to bow down and kiss the very dirt she walked on. I thought that love was a myth, something parents tell their children to make them believe that there was someone special waiting for them. But from the time I set my eyes on her, I knew that she was going to be the one to bring me to my knees.

Her beauty was exquisite and her body was divine. If I hadn't found her, god knows what London and his guys would have done to her. Just remembering what almost happened to her and how she got to be in that position in the first place, flared my anger. I should have killed her ex. I wanted to kill him, but too many questions would have been asked. I stole her right from under London's nose, he never saw it coming. He wanted her back, I knew he would do anything to get her back. But he's going to have to pry her from my cold dead hands.

"Connor?"

Harmony called, breaking into my thoughts. Her smile was infectious. I felt the corners of my lips tilted up into a small smile.

"You know, if you keep dancing like that I'll have you on your back in mere minutes." Harmony giggled and continued moving to the music. She moved a little closer to the chair I was sitting in. She smiled seductively at me then licked her lips. She reached behind her and brought the zipper down on her dress. Slowly she let the fabric slide off one shoulder then the next.

The dress fell to the ground and she stepped out of it. I put the paper I was reading to the size and my eyes moved with each sway of her hips. I watched as she continued dancing, moving from side to side, driving me crazy. She turned around slowly, facing away from me and unclipped her bra. I smiled when I saw the tattoo she had of my name on her lower back. I never wanted her to forget who she belonged to. And if by any chance she did get away from me before I was done with her, I wanted her to have a constant reminder of me.

Before she could turn around I was out of my chair and standing behind her. I pulled her to me roughly causing her to gasp. One of my hands was flat on her stomach and the other one was trailing down her spine. My hand stopped on the tattoo and I traced it with my finger. Her breathing was coming in small pants. I pressed a kiss at the base of her neck.

She closed her eyes and her head fell to the side. The tip of my fingers was scaling the edge of her underwear. She moaned when I moved my hand up and lightly brushed her nipple. Her eyes opened and she gazed at me. I spun her around and kissed her soft lips. Walking slowly, I backed her up until we were both standing by the edge of the sofa.

Without taking my mouth or my hands off of her, I gently laid her down. I pulled away slightly from her lips to stare into her big beautiful brown eyes. To have a woman look at me the way she was, was a boost to my ego. I knew I owned her, and she knew she belonged only to me. Her eyes said as much. I moved a bit to pull my shirt over my head and immediately her hands were on my chest. I watched as her eyes darken with passion and pleasure. I leaned down and took her lips again. I reached for her underwear and was about to pull it down when the voice of my heartless wife reached me, along with that of my cowardly brother's.

"Wow, you must really like this one Con? It's the longest I've even seen you keep one of your whores." Scarlet said, with the scorn clear in her voice.

"Must be something to the saying then, once you go black you never go back," Mason Ledrick said with a laugh. I felt Harmony body tensed up under me. I carefully reached for my shirt and pulled it over her head, being sure not to expose her. Only when I was sure that she was fully covered did I move. Taking her hand, I helped her to stand. And as she did so, her red lace panties were exposed before the shirt I put her fell to her thighs, covering it. I turned to face my wife and my brother. I was trying my best to contain my rage and it didn't help that my brother couldn't take his eyes off of Harmony. The way his eyes were roaming over her body was making me see red and I could tell the Harmony was uncomfortable by it because she moved closer to me and held my hand tightly.

"What the hell are you doing in my house?" I asked, my temper flaring.

Scarlet lifted a brow, clearly amused, and not in the lease bit afraid of me. She draw the gloves off of her hands and dropped them, along with her purse on the table and took a seat. I watched as my coward of a brother followed her lead, taking the chair opposite her.

"Oh honey, this is my house too, or did you forget."

I wanted to throw her and my brother out, but circumstances permitted me from doing so. I looked at my brother and saw that his eyes were still on Harmony. The pure, unadulterated lust I saw in his eyes made my jaw tighten. I turned my back on them to fully face Harmony. I saw curiosity lurking in her eyes. I knew she wanted to know what was going on, but I wasn't about to answer her. Instead, I kissed her. It had meant to be a kiss of reassurance, but the moment my lips touched hers, I was lost.

I deepened the kiss, devouring her mouth and pressing her body to mine. I only pull away because I knew that if I continue, I would have taken her to my room and say to hell with my wife and my brother.

"Go to the room and get dress," I ordered her.

I let go of her hand and watched her walk away, I didn't take my eyes off of her until she disappeared from my line of vision. When I turned back to face my uninvited guest, my face was as hard as stone. I saw the smile dropped from my brother's face and he pulled back slightly into his seat. My wife, on the other hand, was unaffected.

I took a seat in the sofa that Harmony and I were in and waited from one of them to explain why they were in my house.

"I'll ask you again, what the hell are you doing in my house?"

When it looked like no one was going to answer, I got up, ready to throw them out. Scarlet was the one to speak first.

"Relax Con, I come bearing bad news."

I sat back down and waited for her to continue. She crossed and uncrossed her legs, giving me a clear view of black panties. But she did nothing for me, she never did. When she saw that her little stunt didn't get a reaction out of me, she shrugged her shoulders and continued.

"Daddy is upset, he was expecting me to be pregnant by now. It's been three years and still I'm not pregnant. If you ask me I think it's a blessing, but you know daddy, he wants what he wants."

I felt like breaking something, preferably her neck. I've had enough of her father and his demands. First blacking mailing me into marrying his blacked hearted daughter then demanding that I get her pregnant, or he'll use the evidence that he found about my business dealings against me. I was bidding my time, playing along until I find his smoking gun and burn it. Then I'll extract my revenge on him and his entire family, because that exactly the kind of man I am. A sadistic bastard.  

"Get out of my house Scarlet, and tell your father that it's not my problem if you are barren."

I stood fast, taking her gloves and bag, I threw them at her to drive home my meaning. I wanted her gone. I turned to my brother, only to see him gazing off in the direction that Harmony went. The way he was licking his lips and almost touching himself fuelled my anger. I grabbed him by his shirt, startling him. His eyes bulged when my hand found his neck and squeezed. I spoke in a low menacing voice.

"If you so much as think about her, I promise I'll make sure you live for a long time regretting it... brother."

I pushed him away from me, making him fall back into the chair. Scarlet rolled her eyes, clearly bored. I didn't know why the fool kept following her around, he was nothing but her lap dog. He thought that he was the only guy, besides me that she was sleeping with, but the fool didn't know that the woman wouldn't be able to keep her legs closed even if god begged her too. The bitch would choose hell over heaven if it meant that her legs would stay open to the public.

Scarlet eyes moved to look at the back of me, her lips pursed together angrily and her eyes filled with hatred and envy. That last look surprised me, why would Scarlet envy Harmony? I didn't linger too long on the question, because frankly, I didn't care.

I turned and smile at Harmony. I offered my hand to her which she took and I gently pulled her into my arms. Scarlet stood and Mason moved to stand next to her. He slipped his hand around her waist and I almost laugh at the idiot.

There was never any love lost between me and Mason after our parents die. My father, the bastard that he was left every penny he owned to Mason. He hated that I never followed the rules and that I didn't want any part of his business. When he was alive, he would always play me and Mason against each other. He wanted me to suffer without his money, but I didn't. I established a name of myself. I opened my first-night club after I start dealing. Then it was uphill from there. I was able to open a string of clubs across the country. I'm not going to lie, I did some pretty bad things to get where I was. Some of them, I'm not too proud of but some of them I'd do all over again. I glance down at Harmony at that last part. Yep, I'd definitely do it all over again.
