CHAPTER 216. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Do You Want to Come Back?"The last time I was on the ice, I almost lost Mauro," she murmured. "I haven’t skated since.""Are you afraid?" he asked, taking her hand."No, but I feel... I feel a little unsteady," she confessed. "Will you skate with me?"Loan took her hand without hesitation, and they skated around the rink several times. Danna could feel her confidence growing again, and above all, she remembered how much she had missed skating.The evening passed quickly, and soon Danna heard a noise that made her turn her head."Is someone hungry?" she asked playfully."Either you take me to dinner, or I’ll eat you. Your choice," he replied, and she gave him a suggestive look."How about we do both?"A few minutes later, they left the rink and headed to one of the city’s most romantic restaurants."Honestly, you impressed me as much as the first time I saw you skate," Loan told her, raising a glass of wine."Well, what’s well learned is never forgo
CHAPTER 217. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. GutsDanna was nervous. She loved the idea of getting back to skating, but it wasn’t that simple. For starters, she needed a good coach, and not everyone was willing to invest time in an athlete who had been out of the game for so long.“Ready for this?” Loan asked two days later as they sat in one of his office’s conference rooms.Loan’s brother Zack and his sister-in-law Andrea had spread the word and managed to arrange serious meetings with several coaches. Now it was time to see if Danna clicked with any of them. Unfortunately, she quickly discovered that this was more difficult than she had imagined.Over the next few hours, Danna interviewed several coaches, but none of them were willing to take a chance on an athlete who had been out of the game for so long. Some were honest and expressed their concerns directly, while others tried to be more subtle in declining.Danna became increasingly discouraged. None of them were interested in taking on
CHAPTER 218. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. You’ll do better tomorrowHe was about to smile, recognizing Danna’s new number, but the voice he heard on the other end was Mr. Roux’s.“Mr. Keller, you’d better come—something happened with Danna.”Loan felt his heart leap to his throat, fearing that Danna had hurt herself, and he drove quickly to the rink. When he arrived, she was in a corner of the ice, hugging her knees and crying, but her coach wasn’t approaching her.“What the hell happened?” Loan roared, but before he could get closer, the coach stopped him.“Calm down. She fell during a spin, but she didn’t hurt herself.”“Then what’s wrong...?”“She’s having a panic attack,” Mr. Roux explained, and Loan froze.“A... panic attack? Why?”“That’s what I wanted to ask you. I asked her to show me her spins—nothing complicated, just the basics—but when she got to the axel, she fell. I expected anything but for her to react like this, but it seems there’s something she needs to deal with. Am I wr
CHAPTER 219. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. The club of the forgottenDanna and Loan exchanged glances at the suggestion. Pair skating wasn't simple, but according to Coach Roux, if two people supported each other, everything became easier.Even though it wasn’t the time to ask for permission, it was clear that she didn’t know what to do and was asking for his opinion.“Listen, if you’re not sure about this, I promise I’ll make you eat half a pound of meat every day until you get back in shape,” he assured her, taking her hand. “But if you want to try, then we’ll find the best partner for you, okay? I support whatever you decide… even if it means getting you a bulletproof thong.”Danna couldn’t help but laugh, and in a few minutes, she told her coach she was willing to give it a try.“Bury me now,” Loan thought, but after all, he wouldn’t be the first guy whose girlfriend did pair skating. So, he just had to get used to it and swallow his jealousy.“Good. In that case, I’ll start searching. I
CHAPTER 220. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. An InvitationDanna breathed in the cold air and felt the adrenaline rush through her body.The coach smiled as he watched them move together and gave them a nod of approval as they passed by him.Loan’s heart was pounding, and at that moment, there was no room for jealousy. He just wanted her to be okay, to not fall during any jumps, to have the confidence to let herself be guided, and for Ted’s broken bones to heal well so he wouldn’t drop her or hurt her.“Good news!” Ted exclaimed as they approached again. “This girl is as light as a feather. We’ll need a lot of practice, but I think we can do it. What do you say?” He asked Danna directly, and from the smile on her face, Loan realized that for the first time since she had returned to the ice, she felt confident.“I say let’s start working as soon as possible,” she agreed.“In that case, let’s get you fitted for a harness because we need to start working on the throw jumps,” Roux said, leading he
CHAPTER 221. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Good thing it's darkDanna nodded and winked flirtatiously. "Of course, it is. You said we were going to use it properly again, didn't you?" She looked into his eyes with such intense need that it made Loan melt inside. The moment their lips met, it was as if time had stopped. Danna knew how much was happening between them at that moment, and she wanted everything to come to the surface. "Loan... I'm trying to tell you that I want you to be honest," she said. "I don't want any lies, not even little white ones. I want you to tell me how you feel, no beating around the bush. I need to know if you're okay with this." Loan growled against her lips, devouring her mouth with a passionate and urgent kiss before pulling back to hiss, "I'm jealous, jealous to the point of wanting to cut heads off," he declared, his fingers tangling in the hair at the nape of her neck as he pulled her close with a possessive gesture. "It kills me just to think of another
CHAPTER 222. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. StayWhen Loan began to tense uncontrollably, he could only tangle his hands in her hair to lift her, and Danna's hips met his. She felt his hot length against her core and bit her lip as she lowered herself onto him, moving in circles to take him in fully. Quickly, the rhythm became frantic, their bodies in perfect sync, and she smiled as she felt him reach the very depths of her, still pushing further. The fire inside her was indescribable. She didn't want to stop, she was driven mad with pleasure, pushing with all her might until they rolled across the floor, and her knees almost met her hands on the rug. "Don't move," Loan warned. "You have to train tomorrow, and if I lose control, you won't be able to take a single step. Got it?" She nodded desperately, and a second later, she felt him invading her slowly as if he wanted to prolong that torture for as long as possible. Every cell in her body stretched to make way for him. Danna moaned and al
CHAPTER 223. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. Ghosts from the PastDanna froze upon hearing that voice. For months, she had tried to forget how it sounded, but it was impossible because his last command had almost destroyed her life. The air was thick with tension, and her heart pounded faster as she turned to face him.“Emil,” she muttered through clenched teeth.He was standing in one of the corners, arms crossed, looking at her with a disapproving and reproachful expression she knew all too well. It was Emil Landou, her former coach. Danna tried to hide her disgust, but she knew he could read her like an open book.“What are you doing here?” she asked through gritted teeth.Emil looked at her with an intensity that would have terrified her in the past.“Imagine my surprise to hear that a powerful Swiss sponsor was interviewing coaches, only to come here and find out you didn’t die after all, Dannita,” he said in a cold voice. “So, I’m here to ask what happened to you and, more importantly, h
