Alyssa Phillips' office isn't hard to find. It's tucked at the end of the hallway on the first floor, eerily neat and pristine. The air feels heavy here, like the walls are holding their breath, waiting for us to uncover their filthy secrets. And I'm sure there are more than plenty. Mason was
Christine freezes, her face draining of color. "Oh my God. We're going to get caught," she whispers, her voice rising with fear. "What the hell are we going to tell Gray?" I grab her arm and tug her under the desk with me. "Hide. Now." I remind myself to never rob a bank or anything with her. Sh
Alyssa I'm still thinking about what happened with Logan and War, even after we're home, and I'm putting a pot of water on the stove for spaghetti. War didn't exactly say what he wanted, so I went with something simple. Chelsea had done a great job watching Zuri today, and when King handed her a
Apprehension curls in my gut. Whatever it is, it sounds bad. When I return, Zuri's sitting on the floor, happily playing with her toys, while King leans over Mason's shoulder. His expression is thunderous, a storm of malice so intense it seems to suck the air out of the room. "King?" I ask cauti
Grayson "I'm only going to ask you one more fucking time...where did you go today?" I growl, pressing the large wand massager to my wife's clit. She screams, arching off the bed, but the ropes holding her wrists and ankles to the frame keep her firmly in place. "Please...Gray," she begs, her voi
I don't just hear her words—I see them, the scenes playing out in my head like a horror film I'd give anything to destroy. Her voice shakes with each word, her body quivering against mine as if she's reliving it, too. No wonder she didn't want to tell me. But none of this is her fault. She did wha
Alyssa I wake up to an empty bed, but the sheets are still warm, evidence that they haven't been gone long. "Guys?" I squeak, my voice barely breaking the silence as I slowly sit up, glancing around the dimly lit room. But there's no sign of King, Niko, or Mason. The clock reads 3 a.m. I can
Alyssa Gray storms into the coffee shop like a hurricane ready to tear through anything in his path. His presence alone is oppressive, tension crackling off him in waves. Shoulders squared, fists clenched, his fury is barely restrained, coiling tight beneath his skin like a live wire waiting to sn
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
WarWhen King, Niko, and Mason come back into the barn with Alyssa, her eyes are red and puffy—like she's been crying for hours, not minutes. Logan stirs the second he sees her. I feel him clawing toward the surface, raw and frantic, like he thinks he can actually do something helpful. Like seeing
They'd do it.They'd die for me. In a fucking heartbeat. And there's no way I'd be able to convince them otherwise.King tightens his arms around me, his voice low and rough against my ear. "Stop. You're spiraling, kitten. I can feel it.""King, I can't fucking breathe," I choke out."I know. Deep
