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,
AlyssaI watch from the kitchen as all the boys come out of King's office together. King holds a white box in his hand, and I eye it with suspicion."Come here, kitten," he purrs, beckoning me with a finger.I roll my eyes. "What?"Balancing Zuri on one hip, I cautiously approach them like a snake i
AlyssaIt's been a few hours since King and Niko left, and Mason is just sitting in an armchair, reading a book. Like, a physical book. Dressed in jeans and a dark-blue dress-shirt, he looks a lot hotter than I remember. I really didn't think I had a thing for forearms, but here we are. His sleeves
I'm grinding my teeth so hard, I'm surprised I haven't broken a molar by now. "Can we get this over with? I'm going to be late for my class," I snap, wanting to punch all of them in their faces.King chuckles, his fingers still tangled in my hair. "You tell me, kitten." His grip tightens slightly, m
Alyssa I shake off the horrible memory, forcing myself to focus on the here and now. Mason flips a page in his book, completely absorbed, giving me the space to breathe and collect my thoughts. His presence is strangely comforting, even if I'm still wary of his intentions. Zuri's soft coos draw my
AlyssaOnce Niko returned from whatever illegal shit he was doing, Mason said goodnight and went home. Niko suggested that I sleep in King's room with Zuri while he took the guest bedroom. I was hesitant at first, but then he said King would most likely not be back tonight.When I wake up, sometime
I wonder what he means by that. What else could my brother be hiding from me?But I'll let King get some sleep.I'm so close to him, I can smell his natural scent mixed with fresh soap. He must've taken a shower before he came in here, which makes sense since he was likely covered in blood after rem
NikolaiAlyssa stares at me wide-eyed like I've lost my mind, her chest heaving slightly with each breath. Maybe I feel just a little too good right now, but I haven't stopped thinking about her since King told me he fucked her.That's why I couldn't sleep. The image of her beneath him, moaning and
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
