À COUPER LE SOUFFLE:

Breathtaking.

Z A N D E R ' S P O V - (TEASER)

"Valeria, stop with the killing," I whisper yelled, it was the fifth fucking funeral I have attended this week all because of my lovely sister. "I find it rude how you assume it was me," Valeria smirked, "You didn't like him anyway, so shut the fuck up." I rolled my eyes and we stayed quiet as the ceremony commenced.

"Valeria at least you could have worn something appropriate," She was dressed in a black backless dress that had a long slit. "Never, I like to have easy access to my weapons thank you." She rolled her eyes. Papa came back and placed the flowers, which he had forgotten in the car, on the seat.

"Innamorato, did you do this?" Papa whispered as we stood on either side of her, "No." Valeria said but Papa didn't believe it, "Ok, maybe," Papa sighed. "I had my reasons," She argued. "Shut up." I said, looking at the mirror from above, noticing something.

"Say that to me again and I swear to God, you will be in the coffin." Valeria threatened, "Valeria!" I whisper yelled. "What are you even looking at?" I continued to focus on the mirror but I couldn't make out the image.

"Oh for fuck sake!" Valeria removed her gun from the gun holder she had strapped around her thigh, "Get down!" I shouted before bullets blasted through the church. Screams and wails echoed before everyone swarmed out of the church.

"Valeria, go home with Illyria and Mama. Don't argue with me on this. Leave!" Valeria scoffed before aiming her gun behind me and shooting an armed man. "Papa go with Mama, Adryan and I will stay," I said before going up the stairs two at a time.

"Take this," Papa threw a gun to Adryan before he left. "Adryan, you go that way." He nodded before I went in the opposite direction, each door I opened there was no one except one. The very last one.

Drops of blood trailed towards the empty room, I untied my tie and unbuttoned the top of my shirt. "Where the fuck are you?" I whispered, I knew they were here. I got near the window but stopped when I felt an instinct they were behind me.

Ducking, I spun around before grabbing a hold of their arm and lifting the gun that fired towards the window, I twisted their arm behind their back. I couldn't see their face as it was covered with a mask. Just as I was about to remove their mask, they stamped on my foot and elbowed me in the stomach, causing my grip on them to loosen.

My gun slipped out of my hand and skidded to the far corner of the room. The masked person stood in front of me and signalled its hand to come forth. Whatever game they were playing at they would lose either way.

Grabbing the vase from behind, I chucked it at them, resulting in them dodging it. Running, I swung a fist to their abdomen but they instantly caught it and twisted my hand before swinging a fist to my face. Blood began to drip down my nose, wiping it away, I gripped onto their wrist and hurled my fist again, aiming at their ribs.

I twisted their arm, they fell on the floor and as I got in between their legs, I lifted both of their arms above their head, holding their wrists with one of my hands. The person squirmed underneath, it became visible this wasn't a man but a woman. I removed the mask to reveal a beautiful nymph.

Her eyes were tinted with a midnight blue, fair skin with silk brown hair that was up to shoulder length. Looking at her from this view, made my cock throb with need. Too busy staring at her, she flipped me around and straddled my hips, her hands travelled along my arms and pinned my wrists down.

"Freaky one, aren't you?" I breathed out, both of us were panting, "Very." She winked, before getting out a knife and travelling it along my neck. I felt a pulse from her lower regions and smirking I flipped her around even though she grazed my jaw with the knife. "I prefer being the dominant one though." We were in the same position as before.

One of my hands snatched the knife from her hands and looking down at her heaving chest, I stroked the knife harshly down her flimsy material before revealing her beautiful body before me. Tattoos are displayed on her chest and under her breasts.

"What's wrong, you're not fighting anymore?" Sporting a smirk on my face, I pierced the knife against her neck gently. Placing the knife next to her, I travelled my hands along her side, to her wrist. "Cat got your tongue." She smirked before flipping us over again, she was as quick to stand up and try to walk away.

I grabbed her ankle and pulled her down to the floor, causing her to fall. "Asshole." I stood up and walked to get my gun but the woman smashed a vase on my back and pushed me to the wall. Groaning, she placed her gun to my temple and the knife to my throat.

"Who are you?" She said in a demanding tone, I smiled and swiftly held the hand she had the gun in and grabbed her throat hard, pushing her down on the table, our faces were so close to one another. Taking the knife from her hands, I drew another line where the other was placed, making the letter 'Z'.

"Zander. Zander De Santis." She moaned as I drew the last line. Breathing in her addictive scent, I swiped my tongue along the mark I made. The gun fell to the floor and her hands tugged at my hair before she wrapped her legs around my hips. "Sleep tight, tesoro." Bringing the white cloth I had in my back pocket to her nose, I held it firmly in place before I noticed her eyes beginning to close.

Throwing her over my shoulder, I picked up my gun and suit jacket. Dialling Adryan, I waited until he picked up. " Adryan are you ok?... Get the car, I got someone." I ended the call and placed the girl against the wall and placed my suit jacket over her, covering her up.

Tucking a strand of hair away from her head, I placed a kiss on her forehead and picked her up bridal style. Whoever she was working for, I will have the six feet under.

It's a short chapter for a teaser but I hope you enjoyed it. This is Zander's book which will be the third book in the Sinful Lust series. "Dominant blooded."
