Accidentally Yours (Merffy Kizzmet) novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41

Enzo

She took off barefoot, laughing like a maniacal little gremlin with zip–tied wrists.

Wild. Reckless. Beautiful.

Enzo didn’t move right away.

Didn’t need to.

He just watched.

Watched her bolt down the hall in nothing but those oversized pants hanging dangerously low on her hips–hips he’d had his hands on not even an hour ago. What she wore up top was basically a bra. Her scuffed knees told the story of her fight. That wild red hair whipped like a flag of defiance around her shoulders as she disappeared around the corner.

And something inside him–snapped.

She’s made me a fucking animal.

And he liked it.

No–he loved it.

Loved that she didn’t fear him.

Loved that she ran.

Loved that she made him chase.

She had war in her eyes. Fire in her blood.

Even with zip–tied wrists, she never backed down.

She didn’t play it safe.

Didn’t ask for permission.

Didn’t submit-

Not until she chose to.

And that?

That made her more dangerous than any man he’d ever stood across from.

More addictive than any drug he’d ever touched.

She didn’t make sense.

She didn’t need to.

She was his.

Chapter 41

And he would spend the rest of his fucking life proving it.

Enzo gave her ten full seconds.

Just long enough for her to think she had a head start.

Long enough for the blood in his veins to turn molten.

Long enough for his cock to get hard again.

Then-

He started walking.

Slow.

Deliberate.

Predator through and through.

She wanted a game?

She was about to lose it.

Hard.

Lola

The elevator opened with a soft chime–civilized, polite.

Unlike everything else tonight.

Lola darted out onto the rooftop, still panting, heart slamming against her ribs. The air was warm, wind slicing through her hair, the glittering skyline of Vegas blazing behind her like fire and diamonds.

Her skin tingled from adrenaline and sweat. Her wrists burned. Her thighs ached from the fight.

But she was buzzing.

Alive.

Free.

She turned to look at the elevator-

The soft ding of another arrival.

And then-

Enzo stepped out.

Black shirt, bare feet, eyes like sin.

She backed up slowly, breathing shallow, hands still zip–tied in front of her.

“So,” she whispered, a wicked smile tugging at her lips. “you let me get all the way up here. Slipping, bound and you still couldn’t catch me?”

His voice was low. Lethal.

“Didn’t want to catch you yet.”

A pause as his eyes drag over het.

Oh. I know I should be Mt. Tambora mad right now but damn this is so fucking hot.

“Are you gonna kill me?”

His jaw ticked. “Worse.”

She grinned.

Laughing with one eyebrow raised, “You threatening me, Don?”

“No, baby. I’m waiting for you to keep running.”

Oh, he’s serious. Like, deliciously serious. I should probably fear for my life. But mostly… I want to climb him like a jungle gym.

“Catch me in the deep end.”

She jumps. A splash. Enzo’s shirt is off in seconds, and then he’s airborne, chasing her into the water.

By the time Enzo dove in after her, she was already kicking toward the deep end, laughing, heart pounding, adrenaline humming through her bones.

Her pants drifted down her legs and sank like a corpse in a mob movie.

Lola surfaced, breathless and grinning, now wearing nothing but her snug tube top and a soaked black thong.

Enzo broke through the surface a few feet away–his hair slicked back, water rolling down his jaw, eyes locked on her like she was both target and reward.

Predator. Gorgeous. Wet.

“You are in so much fucking trouble,” he growled.

Lola treaded water, raising an eyebrow. “You always this pissed when a girl ditches her pants in your pool?”

He started toward her, slow and steady. “This isn’t about the pants, baby.”

His voice was low, rough. “It’s about the mustache.”

She burst out laughing. “You dared me to!”

“I made a joke.”

“And I committed to the bit.”

Chapter 41

“You drew a full villain ‘stache and monocle while I was sleeping.”

She hopped backwards just out of reach, like she was born to taunt.

“I don’t recall any fine print on that dare, Don.”

“You need to be punished.”

Oh fuck yes.

Oh no.

Oh fuck yes.

I know I should be Mt. Tambora mad right now, but goddamn this is so fucking hot.

Enzo

“I’m starting to think you like chasing me,” she said, breath catching as he cornered her near the wall.
