Chapter: The End"Ugh!" Archie hugged Dylan tightly as he reached his orgasm.He lay down on Dylan's body and both took a deep breath."You're still hot Dylan..." Archie said, taking a deep breath."You're the one who's so horny… how many times have we done this today?""Four... and I feel like I want more...""I feel my ass sore...""That's because we haven't had sex in a long time."Dylan hugged him tight."I missed you so much..." He said"Me too... I only thought about you daily."Dylan began to stroke his hair and at that moment he lowered his head, seeing the earring Archie wore in his left ear."And that earring..." Dylan put his hand to his ear, "What's it's story?""Hmmm... It's family tradition.""What tradition? I don't remember seeing your father's ear pierced.""Well... it's my mother's family. One of those years I went to visit her family and they taught me a fe

Chapter: Revealing the truth: Part II"So..." Arthur paused, not knowing what he could really say about the letter he had just read. He kept looking at Dylan, "So what I just read is really true?""Yes, my father," Dylan lowered his head."And does your husband happen to know that?"Dylan looked at Archie."Yes, I know," Replied Archie.Arthur frowned, really surprised."Hmmm," Arthur went into thoughtful mode, "How long have you known this?""Since we got married... Well, two months after our wedding."Arthur was even more surprised, as he remembered that when Dylan first returned it had been three months since their wedding."So when you first came back your husband had just found out, that?" he looked at Dylan."No father. Actually, that time I had just refused his love...""Hmmm..." Arthur looked unbelievable, "Did you declare your love for Dylan even though you know he's a man?" he looked at Archie."Yes. I had already started to like him before I knew that. When I found out it was a shock, I was angry but I couldn't

Chapter: Revealing the truthArchie walked into Dylan's bedchamber and saw his spouse standing by the window looking through it and the crib beside Dylan's bed.He closed the door and walked towards the crib.He opened the drapes and gave a light peek, seeing that the baby was sleeping peacefully."Wow! How cute!" e said, in a low voice.He closed the curtain and walked towards Dylan, hugging him from behind."My love..." Archie laid his head on Dylan's shoulder.Dylan took his hands, lacing his fingers with his."What do you think makes you so airy... it's been like this for a week until now. What bothers you so much?""Nothing much.""Don't lie to me Dylan."Dylan sighed and turned to face Archie."Tell me!" Archie looked at him in the eyes."I've been thinking about what Meggy said before she lost her life...""And?"Dylan laid his head against Archie's chest and sighed."I don't know... I don't know... it shook me up a lot.""Are you talking about the part where she was talking about loving each other just as

Chapter: Mourning II: Part IIArchie got up and covered Meggy's face with a sheet.Dylan stood up, still holding the baby in his arms."Excuse me! I'm going to have to get out of here," He said."It's okay my love.""You'll meet me at my bedchamber."Archie nodded.Dylan continued walking, heading towards the door.He reached the door, opened it and saw Lizha and Ian outside."Your Highness Dylan," Ian bowed.Dylan nodded, forcing a smile and finally closed the door."Lizha!""Yes, Your Highness!""Come with me!""Yes."Dylan didn't say anything else and continued on, being followed by Lizha.Ian watched Dylan leave, being accompanied by Lizha.Did something happen? he wondered, as he watched Dylan and Lizha walk downstairs.He heard Meggy's bedchamber door open and turned seeing Archie already outside closing the door. His facial expression wasn't that of someone who was overjoyed.Ian frowned, watching his friend approach.I understand that he is not the child's father... but his facial expression is not the best

Chapter: Mourning IILizha was hurrying up the stairs toward Dylan's bedchamber.She finally reached the third floor and could already see the door to her friend's bedchamber.She reached for the handle and opened the door."Dylan!" she said as soon as she opened the door."What's it?" Dylan put down the book he was reading."Meggy went into labor.""Huh?" Dylan was surprised, "The birth wasn't due in two days after all?" he asked, still surprised."It was... but she happens to be giving birth right now.""It's..." Dylan got up, looking quite flustered, "It's ok. Find my husband and give him that information. I'll be right there.""Yes."Lizha took a step back from the bedchamber and closed the door.Dylan started looking around, "Where did I leave it?"He went to his nightstand, put the book he was reading over it and opened a drawer.He took a quick look inside, looking for something with his eyes."Here it is!" he said, reaching inside the drawer.From inside the drawer he took out a rosary and then clo

Gold & Sand
Loyalties will be tested. Hearts will be broken. Desire will be their downfall.
Middlesbrough's underworld is a dangerous game, and Matthew Smith finds himself right in the middle of it. A once-feared gang leader, he is now forced to be a pawn in a deadly cat-and-mouse game. Matthew's only shot at freedom is helping the police bring down Mr. K, the elusive mafia boss of the city. The only problem is that the detective he is forced to work with is the same man who arrested him years ago.
Masahiro Payne is everything Matthew hates: cold, calculating, and relentless. But their only hope for survival is by pretending to be a happy couple, blending in amidst dangerous crime, deceit, and power struggles. The closer they find themselves to taking down Mr. K's empire, the more they are attracted to one another, an affair too potent to turn from.
As their undercover mission spirals into a web of lies and hidden desires, they face a growing threat from all sides. But the greatest risk is the one they can't control-their own feelings. With every touch, every stolen kiss, the line between their fake relationship and real emotions blurs.
In a world of betrayal, trust is a luxury, and falling for each other may be the deadliest mistake of all. Can they survive the deadly mafia games or will their passion be their demise?

Chapter: Chapter 234The courtroom resumed with the same weight it had carried before the recess—but now the air felt thicker. Tighter. Every word from the judge landed heavier than before.“All rise,” the bailiff intoned.Clark didn’t bother looking at the prosecutor. He didn’t need to.He had work to do.Witness One: ArthurArthur sat rigid in the stand, hands folded tightly iin his lap. He wore a pale blue shirt that made him look even younger than usual, and his eyes kept flicking toward Cassidy—never quite meeting his gaze.Clark approached slowly, with no notes in hand. He didn’t need them.“State your name for the record.”“Arthur Cooper.”“Arthur, can you tell the court how you came to know the defendant?”Arthur hesitated. “He… he saved me.”Soft murmurs rippled through the gallery.Clark’s tone didn’t change. “Saved you from what?”“I was taken,” Arthur said, voice cracking only once. “Held in a warehouse with other victims. I don’t know how long. We were moved often. Kept in darkness.”“Did Ca

Chapter: Chapter 233The courtroom was a theater, and Clark knew it.Not the overblown, high-drama kind. Not screaming matches or grandstanding.This was colder.Sharper.This was where reputation meant leverage. Where presence was its own kind of weapon. And today, Clark stood center stage with every light on him.He adjusted his cuffs with slow precision, stepped into place before the jury, and met each face without flinching.“Good morning,” he began. Calm. Even. Clean.“This trial will present you with blood, with violence, and with the kind of fear most people are lucky to never know.”The jurors stilled.“You will hear about what Cassidy did. About what Cassidy stopped. And about the lines he crossed to do it.”He let the silence land.“I will not stand here and pretend he’s a saint. That’s not what this is.”Eyes narrowed. Attention sharpened.“But you’ll learn—very quickly—that th

Chapter: Chapter 232Clark didn’t say a word when they stepped into the hotel room.Bag hit the floor with a heavy thud. He moved straight to the minibar like he had one purpose: drown something before it spoke.Adam closed the door behind them with his boot, leaned against it, arms crossed.“Look at you,” Adam muttered. “Straight to the bottle like it’s fuckin’ therapy.”Clark ignored him. Yanked open the minibar, pulled out a half-decent bottle of Glenfiddich, and poured it like his hands weren’t already shaking.Adam pushed off the door, slow. “No ‘thanks for gettin’ me outta that rat trap’? Not even a ‘hey, nice save, criminal scum’?”Clark took a sip, didn’t flinch at the burn. “If I wanted mouth, I’d have stayed in the blackout.”Adam snorted, tossing his jacket over the couch. “You were in the blackout. Power dead. Brain fried. Pride? Fucked.”Clark glanced over the rim of his glass. “You enjoying this?”Adam dropped

Chapter: Chapter 231Clark stirred, his consciousness dragging itself from the depths of a splitting headache. The weight of exhaustion clung to his body, limbs heavy against the cool sheets. His mouth was dry, tasting faintly of whiskey and regret.`What the hell happened last night?’He cracked his eyes open, blinking against the soft light filtering through the sheer curtains. The unfamiliar ceiling above him sent a jolt of confusion through his groggy mind. His brain lagged behind as he tried to piece things together.Hotel. Right.He had asked to come here.His body ached in that overindulged way, a reminder of too much alcohol and not enough food. Clark let out a slow exhale, dragging a hand over his face. His skin was warm, his head pounding, his stomach flipping in protest at the mere thought of movement.And then he saw Adam.The large figure was stretched out on the other bed, still asleep. His breathing was deep and steady, arms crossed over his chest as if even un

Chapter: Chapter 230The drive back was quiet.Clark had stopped fussing, his usual sharp tongue dulled by exhaustion. He slumped in the passenger seat, head against the window, fingers idly tapping his knee in a steady rhythm—one-two-three, one-two-three. Adam had seen him do it before. A lawyer’s habit. A man counting the seconds, keeping himself anchored.Adam didn’t speak. Just drove.When they reached Clark’s building, Adam pulled into a stop, cut the engine, and turned toward him."Home, sweet home," he muttered.Clark sighed but didn’t argue. He pushed the door open, stepping out with slow, steady movements, like the world was heavier tonight.Adam followed.Clark didn’t wait. He walked ahead, heading toward the stairs without hesitation. Of course.Adam let out a breath, shaking his head before following.Floor after floor.Clark kept pace. Silent. Focused. Maybe even a little too focused.By the time they reached his door, Adam was ready to dump his a

Chapter: Chapter 229The meal was decent.Clark had barely tasted it, too busy keeping his posture sharp, his expression unreadable. Adam, on the other hand, ate like a man who didn’t give a shit about the room full of rich people side-eyeing them.Clark had expected whispers, lingering stares—but the real fun started when Nicholas Sinclair, Emery’s fiancé, finally made his way over."Clark," Nicholas greeted smoothly, wine glass in hand, a carefully measured smile tugging at his lips. "I’m so glad you could make it."Clark forced a polite smirk, barely looking up from his plate. `Fuck off, Nicholas.’Adam, still chewing, barely glanced at the man."Nicholas." Clark set his glass down. "Congratulations."Nicholas gave a gracious chuckle, full of fake modesty. "Oh, thank you, really. It’s a new chapter, isn’t it?"Clark resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Nicholas was gloating.And then—he turned to Adam.Clark tensed."I don’t believe we’ve met," Nicholas said
