TRIGGER WARNING: BLOOD, KNIFE AND TORTURE.

My heart raced as Luca opened the file. I braced myself, every muscle in my body stiffened.

This is it.

They knew.

They had to know.

My cover has been exposed.

But as my eyes scanned the pages, the tension in my body changed to confusion.

There was nothing like Elias Carter in the file. No classified FBI report, no record of my past, my mission. Nothing about me.

Instead, I saw a different name and face.

Marcus Delano.

He was a well known arms dealer, trafficker and a lot of other shady things. His name was well known across security agencies, he was on the list of people that the FBI needed to take care of.

I exhaled slowly, relief coursing through me. They didn't know who I was.

But that relief was short lived because as it was more of the document, I realized something else. This wasn't just a random file, it was a test.

I had two choices. Play dumb or prove myself.

I gritted my teeth. Alright, Luca. You want to

    TRIGGER WARNING: BLOOD, KNIFE AND TORTURE. The air was filled with the smell of metal, sweat, piss, blood and something rotten tag made me crunch up my nose. Inside, hunched over in a chair, was Marcus Delano. His face was barely recognizable. His face was swollen and bloodied, one of his eyes sealed shut due to the injuries on it. His wrists were tied on the arms of the chair with thick leather straps. His ankles were equally secured tightly. His chest rose and fell with each uneven breath he took. I heard the alarms in my head go off as I stared at the man before me. This wasn’t what I expected. I had prepared for anything—an ambush, another interrogation, maybe even my own execution. But this? This was worse. Luca stepped inside first, Matteo following with that usual lazy swagger of his. I hesitated at the doorway, every fiber of my being telling me to run. But I didn’t. Because running wasn’t an option. Not here. Not now. Luca turned to me, his expression unreadable.

    TW: BLOOD, KNIFE, STABBING.The moment my eyes landed on him, my blood ran cold.No.It wasn’t possible.Yet, here he was.Tied to a chair. Bloodied, bruised. His face was barely recognizable beneath all the swelling and dried blood, but I knew those eyes.Agent Ryan Calloway.We weren’t exactly friends in reality. But we had trained together. I had seen him in the field, knew his strengths and weaknesses. He was younger than me by a few years, still proving himself in the Bureau.And now he was here.Sold into this life, just like me.My body tensed. What the fuck was he doing here?I felt Luca’s gaze burning into the side of my face, assessing me. Waiting to see how I would react.I forced my expression to remain cold and unreadable.The moment Ryan's eyes landed on me, there was a flash of recognition and something that was gone just as quickly as it had come. His face became cold, there was no reaction, no sign of betrayal.Slowly, he gave me a subtle nod that told me all that I n

    The taste of blood and Matteo was something I had never expected to be so delicious. I wanted more of it.Matteo’s kiss had been unexpected—burning with passion and consuming—but before I could fully process it, he pulled away, eyes gleaming with something dark. Something starving."Luca," he murmured, voice low and teasing. "I think our little killer needs a reward."My breath hitched.Luca had been silent, watching. Always watching. But now, he stepped forward with his usual slow and powerful walk.I should have felt something—guilt, fear, hate. But I didn’t. The man I had been—the agent, the infiltrator—was slipping away.This new version of me? He craved the fire. The pain. Everything.Luca reached out and cupped by chin in his hand, tilting my face up to meet his gaze which was locked onto mine, unwavering.Luca’s fingers caught my chin, tilting my face up. His gaze locked onto mine, unwavering."You didn’t hesitate," he said, I could smell the faint whiskey on his breath which a

    I was left in only my boxers on the leather couch, waiting and ready for them.“Wait.” Matteo suddenly said. “Let's go somewhere else.”Right. There was a dead body in the room. I had almost forgotten.“Get up, come with us.” Luca said, turning to the door and walking out.I was a bit shy about walking out in just my boxers but I knew that putting on my clothes could bring on dire consequences. A voice in the deepest part of my mind was yelling at me, telling me that this wasn't me but I shoved it aside. I was testing the waters. You only live once, I'll do this now and focus on the regrets later.I followed them, my bare feet silent against the cold floor. The air in the basement was different—thicker, heavier. Maybe it was the lingering scent of blood and sweat, or maybe it was just the way Luca and Matteo moved, their steps unhurried, deliberate while my body was burning with need and undeniable arousal Matteo hit a button on the wall and to my greatest surprise, the wall slid op

    The darkness sharpened other senses.All I could hear was the sound of my heavy breathing. All I could feel was the cold from the sheet and air conditioner. I tensed as I felt the warmth of someone's tongue on my tip. Then the person slowly took my tip into his mouth, this made me moan. I haven't had any form of sexual activities in a while so I was very sensitive.The person began to suck, this made me take in a sharp deep breath. “Take more…” I whispered.That was my mistake because the person instantly left my lips, letting my member fall down to my thigh.“What..? No, please.” I was desperate but I didn't care, they were toying with my pleasure. We had barely started and I was frustrated.“So needy. So submissive.” Matteo teased and then they went silent.For a while I didn't feel nor hear anything. Then there was a touch, it was the light drag of fingertips over my ribcage. I flinched because the fingers were cold, making me shiver.Matteo chuckled lowly.Of course it was him.

    The restraints held firm.Every shift of my body reminded me of them—how they bit into my wrists, how they stretched me out, exposed, vulnerable. I wasn’t sure how long I had been here, lost in the game that they were playing. Time had blurred, fading away.Luca and Matteo circled me like predators.Watching.Waiting.I had expected more pain or another ice cube, the slow torment but what came next wasn't what I had expected.It was silent. It was so eerily quiet that it was unnerving and overwhelming.I tried to slow my breathing, to calm my racing heart but the silence made it worse. It amplified everything, the soft rustle of their clothing, the sound of the leather moving as they kept it aside, the faint exhale of breath when one of them moved closer.Luca’s fingers brushed lightly over my collarbone, a whisper of a touch that sent an involuntary shiver down my spine.Matteo was at my side, dragging something down my arm. Not sharp, but cool and metallic. A chain? A ring? His pier

    I stared at the empty bed, the sheets still slightly rumpled where they had been and had gone cold, meaning that they had gotten up long ago. The feeling of their presence lingered in the air, but the reality was clear—I was alone.It shouldn't have mattered.I told myself that it didn’t.But a strange emptiness settled in my chest, something uncomfortably close to disappointment. Something I shouldn't even have felt.I sat up, running a hand through my hair, forcing the remnants of sleep away. Don’t be stupid. I told myself.This wasn't anything, it meant nothing. I had gotten a glimpse of something that I shouldn't have— affection, comfort and a sexuality I had been a little too curious about. But it all wasn't real, it wasn't my world.I took a deep breath, rolling my shoulders. I needed to shake this feeling off. Dwelling on it wouldn’t do me any favors. I was here for a reason, and I couldn’t afford to get lost in something as dangerous as attachment.Forget about it.The though

    We know what you’ve done.The words stared back at me from the burner phone’s screen, cold and merciless.For a moment, my mind refused to process them. For a full five seconds, I forgot how to breathe. My heart slammed into my ribcage like it wanted to break out, my brain was running a million thoughts a second.No.No, this couldn’t be happening.I just sat there, gripping the phone so tight that my knuckles turned white. My breath was coming out shakily as I panicked. My vision narrowed as dark spots began to dance at the edges.Then, another notification appeared.One New Message.My stomach twisted, nausea pushing vomit up to my throat, threatening to come out. With a deep breath and shaky fingers, I tapped on it.Did you think we wouldn’t find out? There was a mic in Ryan’s mouth. We heard everything.Everything?Everything?!I felt the blood drain from my face. My hands went cold. My chest tightened as well as my fingers around the phone, it was so hard that I heard the plastic

    We arrived at a mansion. The mansion stood before us, a grand epitome of dark luxury. It has tall towering gates that gleamed under the streetlights. The room bars had a series of intricate designs and at the top it had razor sharp spikes that could impale a person. It was a silent warning to anyone who didn't belong here. It has an equally tall fence that surrounded the property and stretched far beyond the eye could see. The entire place was reinforced and impenetrable. There were guards at every turn, they all stood like statues— silent, armed and watching. The driveway leading to the mansion was paved with black marble that was polished to the extent that it reflected the night sky. Whoever lived here was no small man— or woman. Luca drove past a row of luxurious cars— Rolls Royces, Lamborghini, Aston Martins, limousines— all screaming with wealth, power and danger. I swallowed hard.

    Warmth. That was the first thing I felt. Not the sharp, searing kind but the deep, bone-melting, comforting kind—the kind that made my limbs feel like they weighed nothing, the kind that made my body float somewhere between exhaustion and bliss. I sighed softly, my eyes still closed, feeling the weight of them against me. Matteo was behind me, his arm draped over my waist, his chest a solid, warm body pressed against my back. Luca was in front of me, his hand resting lazily over my thigh, his fingers tracing faint, soothing patterns against my skin. Safe. I felt safe. It was ironic, really. These two men—dangerous, ruthless, untouchable—were the only ones who had ever made me feel this way. A gentle touch brushed against my hair. “You awake, pretty boy?” Matteo’s voice. Softer than usual.

    Power was a delicate thing. Most men thought it came from brute strength, from fear, from making others submit through sheer force. But true power wasn’t about that. It was about control—control of oneself, control of others, control of the game. And I had always been a master of the game. I had always believed that breaking someone was an art. There were two types of men in this world—those who broke under force and those who craved to be broken. Eli was the latter. I saw it in the way his body tensed before relaxing into my touch. In the way his breath hitched, his skin flushed with something dangerously close to shame. He was still fighting it, still pretending that he had a choice. But submission wasn’t about choice. It was about acceptance. And I was going to make him accep

    The weight of the pen felt heavier than it should have. I had signed my name, bound myself to them in a way I couldn’t quite understand yet, and now—there was no turning back. My signature sat boldly written on the page, ink thick as Luca took the contract back, sliding it into his desk like it was a done deal. Like I was a done deal. A thrill of something dark slithered down my spine. Ownership. I belonged to them. That should have scared me. Maybe it did. But beneath the flicker of unease, there was something else—something I hated to admit. I wanted it. I wanted to see what it meant to be theirs. Luca’s voice pulled me from my spiraling thoughts. “Stand up.” I obeyed, legs slightly unsteady as I pus

    The sun filtering in through the kitchen window warmed my skin. I could feel that I was different. Last night had changed a lot of things about me. I had never in my entire life imagined that I would have an intimate relationship with not just one man but two men. But now that I had experienced this, I had no regrets. My cock felt every tender every time I moved, a reminder of what we had done last night. A reminder of us. The heat. The pleasure. Everything. It was both intoxicating and terrifying. But ever since we left the bedroom and came downstairs, Matteo and Luca acted as if nothing had changed. They were back to their usual selves—Luca calm, calculating, and unreadable, while Matteo was wild with his playful arrogance barely contained. They bickered over eggs, talked business, but neither of them looked at me the way I wanted them to.

    The air was still heavy with the remnants of our passion— sweat-slicked skin, the musky scent of sex and cum clinging to the sheets, and the slow, relaxed breaths of three thoroughly satisfied bodies. Eli lay tired between us, his chest rising and falling in slow, uneven breaths. Matteo had one arm draped over his waist, his fingers tracing lazy patterns on Eli’s damp skin. I leaned back against the headboard, watching them both, my own body still vibrating from the intensity of what we had just shared. What we had done. For a while, none of us spoke. The room was quiet, save for the occasional rustling of the sheets and the distant sound of the occasional guard barking orders outside. I let the silence settle, giving us all time to bask in the aftermath of everything. Then, finally, I moved. “Come here,” I murmured, reaching for Eli first. He barely reacted at first, too spent to move, so I slid my arms beneath him and pulled him onto my lap. He let out a small, sleepy no

    Grabbing my cock, I slowly pushed it in, enjoying the way Matteo's body clenched around me, resisting the intrusion at first, trying to push me out before accepting me, just like he always did. A low groan escaped me as the tight heat wrapped around me inch by inch, the sensation so intense it nearly made me lose control and cum right there. Matteo let out a strangled moan, his grip on Eli’s throat tightening for a moment before he caught himself, loosening just enough for the other man to suck in a desperate breath. But that relief was short-lived as Matteo resumed his brutal pace, fucking Eli’s throat like he owned it again. "Fuck," I hissed, grabbing his hips as I went all the way in. "I missed this." Matteo arched his back, pressing against me, his body trembling as he adjusted to my size. He was always greedy, always desperate for more, but I knew he loved the slow burn just as much as the roughness that would inevitably come. I rolled my hips, dragging my cock almost all

    He was driving me insane. As much as I hated to admit it, that’s exactly what he was doing. Ever since he walked into our lives, I hadn’t been able to stop thinking about him. I usually liked my men soft and submissive. Except for Matteo, of course—he was a wild animal. But Eli had been putting up a hard façade from the start, one I was now determined to break. I was going to ruin him. Seeing him kneeling before me, looking up with my cock in his mouth, was both heaven and hell. I wanted to fuck him, to claim him, but I knew I had to take my time. This was probably his first time, and he needed to be prepped before he could handle both Matteo and me. Even now, as I looked at his tear streaked, flushed face, I felt a deep sense of sick satisfaction in me. I loved his tear

    We got to the wing of the house where their bedrooms were. The wing that I had been unable to enter. Luca scanned his thumb and the door slid open and we walked into the room. Wait. A room? As I looked between them I realized that they slept together. It should have been weird but instead, I found myself being jealous at the fact that they got to sleep together whilst I slept alone in my room. I had expected a room that just screamed luxury but what I was was a whole new level, it reminded me of the room in the basement. The bedroom was very big yet it still felt intimate. The walls were lined with deep, smoky gray panels, giving the space a sultry, seductive feel. A massive four-poster bed dominated the center of the room, draped in the finest black silk sheets that shimmered under the dim glow of the recessed lighting. Heavy, black curtains
