Alyssa I start crying on the way home, everything crashing back into me at once. My tears are silent, but the occasional sniffle draws the attention of my men. Zuri looks at me, and I smile, pretending everything's okay. I don't want her to see me like this, allowing her sperm donor to break me
"I do," I whisper, my face heating up with the confession. He groans, like what I'm saying is undoing him. "Do you know why?" "Because I'm fucked up in the head?" I guess with a hollow laugh. "No, my naughty little kitten." His fingers tighten in my hair. "It's because you know I'd never hur
Nikolai Mason and I are watching Zuri, since King went upstairs to comfort Alyssa. After watching her break down in Gray's office and not being able to do anything, it's only fair that he be the one to do it. Knowing him, though, he's probably fucking her by now. There's no doubt in my mind th
King After a night of collecting payments, we arrive at the clubhouse early, before Gray even gets there. As promised, we're getting tested for STDs. Truth is, Alyssa was the only one who needed it, but Niko and I decided to join in to reassure her that she didn't pass anything to us. As expecte
Alyssa After a fun day at the park and eating a delicious dinner prepared by Sebastian, I give Zuri a bath, and she passes out an hour earlier than her bedtime. Hopefully, that means she won't wake up even earlier. I can already feel a sleep regression coming on, but at least I won't have to face
"Yes, Sir," I moan, the words slipping out as my body surrenders to his control. King doesn't waste any more time. He lowers his head between my legs, and the moment his mouth touches my pussy, my world ignites. His tongue swirls over my clit, teasing, tasting, feasting on me with a ferocity that
Nikolai Alyssa is sprawled out on the bed, trembling like a fucking leaf. I want to help her, give her the relief she so desperately needs, but I already know King won't let me. He's going to drag this out for as long as he can—because she needs it. He wants her desperate, pliant, and begging.
She turns her head just to push his buttons, but he's faster. His grip tightens on her jaw, forcing her to face him. "Fucking now, Alyssa. I won't tolerate you being a brat. Not during a punishment." Reluctantly, she sticks out her tongue and licks his hand clean. The sight makes my dick throb aga
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
