Once Bitten, Twice Destroyed [COMPLETE]

CHAPTER TWENTY ONE

One Week Later...

Paige

I sneezed twice and Viktor frowned at me. He placed his hand on my forehead before licking his lips.

He carefully picked me up into his arms before walking up some stairs. My head rested against his chest as it felt like all the life was drained from my body.

We entered a house and I realized that he kept me in his basement. How original.

It's no wonder I became sick. That basement was freezing. We entered a room upstairs and he silently placed me down on the bed before leaving the room.

After a few minutes Viktor picked me up once more then carried me into a bathroom.

And without warning he dropped me into an ice cold bath and I hit his chest as the cold consumed me.

"Relax you were burning up." He said calmly. No I was freezing!

"It's too cold!" I yelled, gasping for air and he rolled his eyes at me. I grabbed his shirt and he tumbled into the bathtub with me.

His warm body pressing against mine felt like paradise. He pulled back before glaring at me in anger.

"American." He groaned out in frustration and I looked at him with puppy dog eyes.

He got up before helping me stand upright.

He drained the tub and my teeth started clattering from the cold. Suddenly the shower above us went on. He looked at me before licking his lips.

Warm!

I smiled as I felt the hot water dripping onto my skin. Viktor climbed out of the tub before turning his back on me and undressing.

"What are you doing?" I yelled angrily and he chuckled lightly before walking out of the bathroom.

I felt my cheeks and ears heat up so I groaned.

I don't know what's going on with my emotions lately but Luciano and Dario need to come and get me. It's been a week for god's sakes

I took my dress off before taking some men's shower gel. I cleaned myself before standing under the shower a little while longer.

"What do I wear?" I asked myself before I climbed out of the shower and grabbing a towel. After covering myself up I went outside and saw some clothes neatly folded on the bed from earlier.

I looked around the room and found no cameras so I quickly got dressed. Why did the twins think it's okay to put cameras in my room?

I combed my hair with my fingers before pulling the wet strings into a bun on my head.

I went back into the bathroom before relieving my bladder from all the urine it's been holding for the last twenty four hours.

I sighed when I was done, I finished my business before going back into the bedroom.

I gasped when I saw Viktor standing in the doorway. He looked at me from head to toe before clenching his jaw.

"Let's go princess, dinner is ready." He said slowly. I stood frozen in my spot while eyeing him suspiciously.

"Must I carry you?" He asked before grabbing my waist so I shook my head.

"No." I said softly before leaving the room. His tall frame hovered over mine as he walked behind me. Everything about him is dominant and it makes me feel so small.

"Sit down." He demanded so I sat down on the barstool. He pushed a bowl filled with chicken noodle soup across the countertop.

"Eat." He said blankly before digging into his soup. I didn't move a muscle, what if he poisoned my food?

"Eat, American." He said in frustration so I glared at him.

"What if it's poisoned?" I asked and he raised a single eyebrow at me.

"Eat." He said blankly so I gulped before picking my spoon up. "Like this." He said while demonstrating with his own spoon.

"Last time I'll cook for girl." He said under his breath and I looked up at him. He made this? He shouldn't have I feel much better now.

I placed a spoon full of soup into my mouth and my eyes closed in pleasure. I placed another spoon full into my mouth and a tiny moan escaped my lips.

This is the best chicken noodle soup I've ever tasted.

"You like my soup American?" Viktor's voice sounded from beside me and I nodded before continuing to eat my soup.

When I was done eating I pushed the bowl forward before looking over at Viktor who was already staring at me.

"Why am I here?" I asked him and he remained silent.

"Please just- at least tell me what this is about?" I said and he flared his nostrils.

"I declared war against Dario Marroquín." He said coldly and my eyes widened.

"What do you mean war? Like in the business world?" I asked and he sighed before smirking.

"In the mafia world." He said as his face was mere inches away from mine.

"Mafia?" I asked before gulping and he nodded as his nose brushed against mine.

"Your boyfriends, how does American say? Suck, for not telling you." He said and I gasped at his words.

"No they don't. They were just trying to- protect me." I said and he scoffed at me.

"Then why is the fear rolling off you in waves?" He asked blankly and I looked down at my hands.

"I'm not afraid of them." I said softly.

"Are you afraid of me?" He asked and I looked up into his eyes.

"Answer me princess." He said while looking down at me.

"No." I said while looking down.

I felt his fingers sliding under my chin as he lifted my face up.

"Try again." He said in a husky tone. I opened my mouth to talk and he leaned in closer causing my breathing to increase.

I tilted my head back while looking at his lips.

"No." I repeated.

So...

I haven't been myself lately. I'm in a really weird and dark place right now so my work is probably shitty but I'm trying to update on time and to show up for you guys so I hope you guys understand and don't get mad at me.

I'll try to make things more steamy between Paige and Viktor because obviously I'm making him another one of her love interests. I love you guys and thanks for reading.
