AlyssaI wake up at 5am to Zuri's cries, her tiny voice piercing the early morning silence. It's her usual signal, letting me know that she's both hungry and ready to start the day.After I showered last night, I brought Zuri into King's guest bedroom so she could sleep beside me. She almost always
He shrugs nonchalantly. "Never had a woman sleep over before."I can't stop my jaw from dropping. He's full of shit. He's got to be. Or that means...I shake my head, dismissing the ridiculous thought."My housekeeper and maids should be here at 7. Make sure you eat something. You won't be sitting a
KingI set out on a mission to get my kitten a new phone and car. I know she lost our little bet, but I still want to take care of her and ensure her and Zuri never have to depend on that stupid, abusive asshole ever again.I pull up to the dealership on my bike, the roar of the engine dying as I ki
KingWhen I return home, I find Niko on the couch, holding Zuri on his chest, sleeping like she doesn't have a care in the world. Must be nice."Where's our kitten?" I ask quietly to avoid disturbing Zuri."Upstairs sleeping. Our sweet girl was so exhausted, she didn't even wake when Zuri cried. Hop
"You're so fucking wet for me," I rasp. "You love when I force you to take pleasure from me?""No."I smack her ass hard. "Try again, liar.""Ugh, you're so...fucking annoying. I hate you so much," she struggles to get out.I should stop, make her beg for more just to prove she wants this just as mu
AlyssaAfter King left, there was no way I was going back to sleep when his cum was leaking out of me. Instead, I took a cold shower to try to calm the throbbing between my legs. How could I possibly want more after that? When my body is already sore from the rough, brutal way he fucked me the past
MasonI pull in front of King's house on my bike, the weight of the new phone he asked me to bring tucked in my jacket pocket. It's not often King calls me over, so I assume something serious is going on.Nobody really ever explains shit to me, but it's not like I care. Ignorance is bliss, they say.
No one does. Niko sighs, rubbing the back of his neck. "Well, I have to go to the warehouse soon. Looks like Mason will be staying with her tonight, since I assume you have something to do as well?" He directs his question at King, who nods.I'm...staying with them? Alone? My eyes flicker to Niko,
The van rumbles low behind us.Somewhere in the distance, police sirens whisper on the wind."Can I kiss you?" he asks, his voice rough around the edges. Holy shit. Was he just asking the guys for permission to ask me?"Okay," I breathe.His mouth claims mine—slow, bruising, deliberate. Nothing li
AlyssaThe container door stays shut after they leave me with Gray, not wanting me to inhale any more fumes. Gray shifts restlessly beside me, having already ordered the other Reapers guarding the perimeter to clear out. He's ready to get the hell out of here, but we have to wait for the guys to fi
Mason exhales slow, like he's counting to ten through murder.For a second, I think we all might kill this crazy motherfucker at the same time. Rip him to pieces and not even feel bad about it.But then Alyssa raises a hand.And we freeze instantly."Is that why you locked War away?" she asks quietl
NikolaiAlyssa stands naked, a gun aimed steady at Logan's head, and the three of us stand around her like guard dogs—tense, alert, waiting to see which way this moment breaks.No one says a word. Not even him.But it's obvious now. He's not War.Hasn't been since last night.While our girl was tak
King smirks, then presses the blade just beneath Isaac's shoulder blade and slices.The sound is thick. Wet. The kind that stays with you.Isaac jolts, a raw, broken sound tearing out of him, like a scream that never makes it all the way out of his shredded lungs."Oh, fuck," I mewl. Wetness pools o
"Bet that stings, huh?" he sneers. "Knowing she never made a single sound like this for you."His tongue circles my clit—lazy, controlled, designed to break me."Fuck," I moan, feeling helpless."I know, kitten," he growls. "Be a good girl and come for me—so we can fuck you like you need."Then he s
AlyssaThe second King's mouth finds my pussy, Niko moves in to kiss me, deep and consuming, his tongue invading my mouth like he's trying to drink down every sound I make.I don't know what King's going to do about Logan. But if I know him—and I do—he's already decided.Logan's dead.And War?Colla
Damn. That shit looks like it hurts.Good.I walk over, grab a fistful of his matted hair, and yank his head back until his neck strains and his mouth drops open in pain."There you are." I murmur, grinning down at him. His eyes bulge, wild with the kind of fear you can't fake. "What's wrong? Don't
KingThe raggedy piece of shit wheezes to a stop, gravel crunching under the tires like splintering bones under a boot.I kill the engine.Silence slams into us—thick, expectant. The kind that settles just before a storm rips through and levels everything in its path.No one speaks.Not even her.Al
