"Where were you?" King growls, the anger in his voice mixing with concern. "I just went downstairs to get a drink," I answer, my tone carefully measured. I know I promised him last night that whatever they were hiding, I wouldn't let it come between us. But if that dream was real...I don't even k
Alyssa Gray joined us for breakfast. Just seeing him sitting across from me sends last night's dream looping in my mind again. I don't have much of an appetite, but the guys insisted I eat something. I sip on a strawberry-banana smoothie, watching as Zuri feeds herself oatmeal. "These withdrawal
I grab Gray's shirt, pulling him closer across the table, my voice a low whisper. "I know since you've stopped drugging yourself numb, you must be some kind of guilty conscience now. They say the truth sets you free, Gray." My grip tightens. "So, set yourself free. Quit the bullshit. Tell me what th
King Fuck, she's pissed. I can barely keep my grip on her as I carry her to our other room. Good thing Niko and Mason insisted on staying across the hall. We've got a room for our "domestic" nights, and then there's this one—for all the dirty things we want to do with her. Most members don't liv
The door opens, clicking shut silently. I don't have to look over. I know it's Niko. "Let Gray know I'm handling it," I rasp, never slowing my thrusts. "You know why he's upset," Niko says. "He's just too much of a stubborn asshole to admit it, so I told him I'd make sure she receives some type of
Alyssa "You want to see me fuck him, kitten?" King asks, a wicked smirk playing at the corners of his mouth. My heart races, both excitement and disbelief swirling within me. Holy shit. Is this really happening? I know King is just distracting me, from my nightmare, from Gray and Christine, a
He stands still for a moment, staring at me, before slowly slipping out of his pants and stepping towards the edge of the bed. His cock is hard and thick, the silver piercing glinting at the tip. I wet my lips, eager to taste him. I explore his piercing with my tongue. I never imagined Mason woul
Alyssa After a restless nap, I spend the rest of the day with Zuri, clinging to every second as if it might be our last. I know King and Mason will protect me, but the lingering dread feels like a dark cloud I can't shake. There's a heaviness in my chest as I try to keep a smile on my face for Zur
I snort. "Right. Glad we're so goddamn tight."He hums, thoughtful now. "Your obsession with King Sterling's bitch is gonna get you buried. Come back. We'll find Silas, clean this shit up, and maybe you'll start thinking straight again.""I'm not coming back." I snap. "Not without her."There's anot
LoganFor the first time in weeks, it's me when I wake up.No growling.No barked threats. No pressure pounding behind my eyes like War's trying to crack my skull open from the inside out. Just... silence. And the soft, steady beat of someone else's heart.Hers.Alyssa's curled in King's arms on
"Don't worry, kitten," he says, his voice like gravel. "I'm saving all my energy for tonight. You already gave me fucking blue-balls earlier. I hope you're ready to pay for that."I drag my thumb slowly across his bottom lip, watching his eyes flare."Oh, I'm ready, Daddy," I purr. "Don't hold back.
AlyssaWhen I finally come out of the bathroom, I'm not surprised to find Niko, Mason, and War already asleep.The motel didn't have side-by-side rooms available, and War flat-out refused to be separated from us—not after what happened. So he's on the pullout, and Niko and Mason are curled up togeth
TW: Nonconsensual sex/RapeSilasShe whimpers beneath me, clawing at the sheets like a trapped animal."S-Sir, it hurts," Jolene chokes out, her voice weak. Useless. I slam into her harder, fisting her thin hair and shoving her face into the pillow. "Shut the fuck up."Two blue pills have my cock s
I sit up, blinking the fog away as we pull into the lot. "Can I go with you? I need to stretch my legs." And fucking pee. Niko glances at King. "Fine. Five minutes," King says sternly. "Not a second more." Niko nods once. "Heard." "I'm coming with you," Mason says, already sliding the door ope
Mason soon returns to the car, a new pair of keys clutched in his hand. His face is unreadable, but tense. Something else must've happened. He opens the back door and grabs my hand to help me out. "Let's go. I'll fill you in on the bad news once we're out of here." My stomach plummets. Bad news
Alyssa We sit in the car, parked beneath the flickering lights of a gas station that looks like it's two seconds from giving out entirely. It's 2 a.m., freezing outside, and the only reason I'm not shivering is because Niko's got the heater blasting like he's trying to cook us. Mason steps out to
I brought this heat down on us.Fuck. King's gonna kill me.I drag their bodies into the bathroom, wipe down every surface I touch, and shut the door behind me. Then, I glance both ways down the hall. No doors opening. No screaming. The silencer didn't echo loud enough to stir anyone up. But my tho
