I rise to my feet smoothly, striding towards my office without looking back at her. "Come into my office, kitten," I demand, my voice even.Sitting on the edge of my desk, I tilt my head as Alyssa gingerly follows me inside."Close the door."Unease flickers in her eyes, but she quickly covers it an
AlyssaI'm completely naked. Naked and kneeling on the floor in front of a psychopath. I would say I'm what people call 'scaroused' right now. Although my body is trembling with trepidation, I want to see what King is going to do next, how he's going to punish me.As King calls—no, summons Niko, his
"I don't belong to you, King. I'll be leaving tomorrow," I snap back, defiance lacing my tone.He chuckles darkly. "Yeah, we'll see about that."What does that mean?I don't have time to think about it as King drags two fingers between my slit, gathering my juices. "So wet," he purrs in satisfaction
Mason Hearing Alyssa's moans and screams through the door, my cock strains uncomfortably in my pants. What are they doing to her in there? And together? I shouldn't care. I'm nothing to her. But what if they're hurting her? Maybe I should go see... No, those are definitely not sounds of pain.
Alyssa After waking up and taking a shower—since I passed out right after whatever the hell last night was—I begin packing up Zuri's and my things. She had stirred some time during the night, but thankfully, I had formula and water on the dresser. To my surprise, she fell right back asleep, allowin
His eyes flicker down to my lips, the tension between us growing stronger. Is he going to kiss me? I hope not because my vagina hasn't exactly been on my side lately. "You don't like when I play with you, kitten? Because it sure the fuck didn't sound like it last night." "That was...uh...different.
Nikolai"Gray, I want to put a nursery in the third bedroom," Christine chirps from the backseat, her nasally voice grating on my fucking nerves. She's only been in the car for ten minutes, but it feels like an eternity.I've never really been a fan, and neither have King and Mason, but Gray met her
Alyssa"Where is my Zuri?" Niko's voice fills the room as he strides through the front door, his eyes immediately seeking out the kitchen. I'm feeding Zuri her breakfast, and the sound of his arrival makes her tiny face light up.Sebastian insisted on making sure Zuri had a full meal before everyone
Even on the worst nights, when we crawled home from the clubhouse at dawn, I always stopped at her crib. Kissed her forehead. Whispered that we loved her. That ritual grounded me. Not doing it last night? Waking up in the morning knowing she'd wake up without us? It fucking destroyed me.We're w
NikolaiYeah. Letting Alyssa call Nina was a mistake.She's pacing the room like her skin's too tight, her lip trapped between her teeth, the burner phone pressed to her ear with shaking fingers. "Hey, Nina. Umm...how is she doing?"I glance at King. Then Mason. Then War.We're all bracing for it—w
Niko's hand smooths down my hair, his chest vibrating with soft, amused laughter. "It's okay, sweet girl," he murmurs, warm and teasing. "Me and Mace weren't complaining. And King—well, he was in a goddamn coma after that drive, so he didn't hear a thing."I hear the faintest smirk in King's voice w
AlyssaDespite the way Mason fucked me last night—slow, passionate, like he was trying to pull the sadness out of me one thrust at a time—I still wake up feeling like shit. Numb. Hollow. And aching in all the wrong places.Because no matter what I do, I can't stop the reminder that I won't get to
I thrust into her in one deep, hungry stroke, groaning as her pussy tightens around me like it's welcoming me back home.Fuck. I've missed her like this.I brace one hand against the wall, the other gripping her hip as I fuck her hard, driving the grief and exhaustion out of her with every thrust o
MasonAfter nine hours on the road, King is knocked out cold. Niko lies beside him, flipping through the TV channels with that blank look he gets when he's thinking too much. I'm at the window, AR-15 within reach, peeking through the blinds at the empty parking lot below.Alyssa's been in the showe
The guys had a little time with Zuri before she began fighting to keep her eyes open. I saw it on their faces—how hard it was to kiss her goodnight and walk away. But we all agreed. Leaving her here was the safest choice. Even if it feels like tearing out a piece of our hearts and leaving it behin
AlyssaLeaving Zuri behind is the hardest thing I've ever done. Harder than running from Isaac.Harder than learning I killed a man at seven because my father sold children for a living. Harder than choosing to die if it meant protecting the people I love. Because this...this feels like abandonme
He wants her to suffer first. "And you think any of us could live with that?" I spit. No one tries to step in and soften the blow. Because they know she needed to hear it. She swallows hard. Her voice cracks, but she catches it. "I just... I hate this. People could die because of me. I'm putting
