Clyde’s POV

The harshness of the alcohol burned my skin as I rode through the city at speed, darkness wrapping around me like an old friend.

That familiar numbness, that rage-filled silence, swallowed me whole.

I stared hard at the latest picture on my phone. That same damn number. A new set of photos.

This time, she was clad in only her underwear, chained to a bed.

She looked smaller than she had this morning.

And my cold, cursed heart ached beyond words.

“We’ll get her back, Clyde. I promise you.”

Diego’s voice rang out inside the car. I was holding the phone so tight it might snap in half.

Too late. I was fucking too late.

Now I had even bigger problems than before.

The warehouse had been three hours out of the city. When we got to the cafeteria they were both gone.

Will and my girl.

And just when I tried to figure out where the hell they’d gone, my phone beeped again. That same number.

That sick, twisted image of my precious lamb. Caught in bondage. And a m

  • Dangerous Love   Men, they’ll never stop needing more

    Allison’s POVThe darkness stretched deeper than I could imagine—thick and suffocating. My weary mind drifted through it, lost in the endless struggle between myself and the world. Between reality and madness.If a person could sit still for this long, tied up and barely breathing, without losing their mind… it would be considered magic. If that kind of shit was even real. But I was still here. Still breathing. Barely.And even in this void of silence and cold, all I could think about—was him.Clyde.The images came uninvited, sharp and vivid. Him with blood on his hands. Him orchestrating a drug empire with that calm, lethal stare. It didn’t have to make sense. The stories weren’t supposed to rhyme. But they did. They rhymed too well. Too perfectly. Like a puzzle I hadn’t meant to solve.Now here I was. Shackled. Nearly naked. Freezing. Bones aching and bruised, skin raw against the stone floor—but none of it compared to the pain burning in my stupid heart.And then—footsteps.Echoes

  • Dangerous Love   Spirals into chaos

    The room echoed with the loud shot, the crack of it splitting the air like a lightning strike. My ears rang for seconds, sharp and shrill, as if the sound itself had buried into my skull.Fear gripped me in a stranglehold. My heart stopped—just stopped—as the moment stilled, suspended in a nightmare. The chandelier above quivered, then came crashing down with a heavy, jarring thud, shards scattering across the floor like glittering knives.When I open my eyes, they meet Saida’s—and what I see there sends a shiver down my spine. Fear. Real, gut-deep fear. For a second, I don’t know if it’s hers or mine. Then his voice slices through the tension like a blade, cold and cruel, dragging us back into the horror. He made the shot. Of course, he did."I swear the next bullet will be piercing through your skull, Saida," he gritted out, voice low and sharp like gravel. His hand didn’t flinch. The gun was still pressed into her head, the metal digging into her skin like a promise."Do not spoi

  • Dangerous Love   The devil’s deal

    Clyde’s POV The mart stank of blood, gasoline, and fear. A single overhead bulb flickered weakly, casting a yellowish hue over the bruised man kneeling at my feet. One of his eyes was swollen shut—a gift from Diego’s fists—and his cracked lips trembled with desperation.“Where is she?” I asked, my voice a low snarl that slithered through the room like venom. Cold. Controlled. Lethal.The old man’s breath came in short gasps. “Please… I only lent her a phone. That’s all, I swear—God knows I don’t know where she went.”Wrong answer.Without needing to speak, I tilted my chin at Diego. The crack of bone followed. The man crumpled to the ground with a strangled cry, fingers scrambling to clutch my legs like a dying prayer.“Please… spare me,” he whimpered, voice thick with phlegm and regret. “Sir… I beg of you.”I kicked him off with a slow, merciless motion, my boot slamming into his chest. My rage was a living thing now—black, hot, and crawling beneath my skin.Grabbing his collar, I y

  • Dangerous Love   Caught in the tub

    When the heart craves solace, yet the mind fears the outcome of that comfort, what happens when a love so dark consumes your entire being, leaving you in the deep emptiness of regret and pain? And yet, despite everything, your heart longs for that dark and dangerous love.The heavy sound of running footsteps echoed through the still night, audible from miles away. Two figures dressed in black darted through the shadows, their pace relentless.One of them, her breath labored and body exhausted from the chase, pushed herself to keep moving. It wasn’t just her life on the line, it was the life of the tiny one growing within her.“Allison, quick! We have to hurry!” the other figure called out urgently.“I’m trying… please!” she shouted back, her voice raw with desperation.“He’ll catch up with us soon, we need to move faster!”Allison knew the stakes. This was a matter of life and death. If he caught her, everything would be over.She couldn’t bear the thought of returning to him. She

    Clyde’s POV“Turn back. I forgot an important document,” I said lazily, my eyes glued to my iPad.Without a word, my driver quickly turned the car back toward the hotel.“You know we’re already late,” Diego muttered, but I ignored him.He, of all people, knows my moods and should know better than to push me.The city looked different from the last time I was here. Ten years away had changed everything, yet returning brought back memories, some good, some bad.The penthouse was on the top floor, so I took the private elevator. Usually, I’d send someone else for things like this, but for some reason, I decided to go up myself.The moment I unlocked the door, an uneasy feeling washed over me. I knew instantly I wasn’t alone. This sensation wasn’t new to me, and I knew exactly how to handle it.I stepped into the room, my hand already on my pistol, ready for anything. Then I noticed the hotel cleaning cart pushed to one side, with freshly changed sheets on the bed.I chuckled at my ima

  • Dangerous Love   Sexy godlike!

    Allison’s POVMy eyes were squeezed shut, as if that could somehow shield me from the overwhelming presence of the man in front of me. He was intimidating beyond words, and I couldn’t do anything but obey. His strong hands gripped my waist, pulling me closer. In that moment, it felt like my soul had left my body. His fingers trailed down my thigh, sending shivers racing across my skin. I couldn’t believe this was happening.How did I go from wanting a warm bath to standing naked in front of a stranger, letting him touch me like this?Goosebumps prickled my flesh as his fingers moved upward, tracing the curve of my belly and then my chest. A soft moan slipped from my lips when he pinched my nipple. My body betrayed me, trembling at his touch.This was wrong. So, so wrong. It broke every rule of the hotel, every boundary I’d ever set for myself. But how could I stop him? His touch was electric, lighting up parts of me I didn’t even know existed.“Do you like it?” he asked, his deep

  • Dangerous Love   It is you

    My mind was a whirlwind of thoughts about the gorgeous man I encountered in the penthouse. The entire time at work, I could barely focus. It had only been a few hours since our encounter, but I already knew my world would never be the same. No man had ever seen my body until today, and the feeling was more intense than I’d ever imagined. I found myself grinning as I thought about him. But my joy didn’t last long. Zach, our supervisor, approached me with his usual stern expression. “We pay you to work, not to get lost in your thoughts, Miss Gray,” he snapped. “I’m sorry, sir,” I replied quickly. “You should be. Now get back to work,” he said before walking away. I sighed as I hurried away, eager to escape his presence. The harsh rays of the sun shone on my face, pulling me from my thoughts. Morning had arrived, and my shift had finally come to an end. I quickly made my way to the bathroom to freshen up before heading home. The hotel provided rest quarters for staff wor

    CLYDE'S POV Throughout the meeting, Diego kept stealing glances my way. The idiot even had the audacity to send me a message. My best friend could be infuriating. If he weren’t my right-hand man, I swear I would’ve cut him loose years ago. Finally, the gathering ended. This was one of the main reasons I’d returned. “Thank you, Butch. It’s an honor to be in the same room as a king like yourself. My team and I promise to deliver,” Scar said, nodding in my direction. “No, Scar, I should be the one thanking you. I’ll see you around.” I watched as Scar and his men cleared the room, leaving me alone with my crew. Lighting a cigarette, I took a long puff before signaling everyone to leave, except Diego. “Well, at least this one’s over,” I muttered, blowing out a cloud of smoke. “Now that it is, can we finally talk about the woman in your bathroom?” Diego leaned casually against the wall, a smug grin plastered on his face. I groaned internally. Diego could be a real p

    Allison’s POV Every part of me burned with worry as I made my way across the street. The cafeteria's light spilled into the dark alley, but it did nothing to lighten my mood. It was a blur—this moment of weakness. Accepting this invitation even when I knew, deep down, that this single meeting could destroy everything. Fortes worth saving. Or not? My eyes landed on him as I strolled into the cafeteria. It’s always been our favorite spot from when we were teenagers, a place etched with too many memories to count. He smiled and waved at me as I approached. But when I got close, I realized—his bruises had darkened. Clyde definitely hit him hard. A sharp pang filled my chest, tight and unforgiving. All this was my fault. "I can't say how proud I am of you for coming." "Get to the fucking point." I snapped. He smirked, but he must have expected that. He shrugged it off like it didn’t sting. His gaze dragged over my body, definitely laughing at my outfit for the

    The gates slid open to the warehouse compound—my other face of business. A laundry façade out front for anyone stupid enough to get curious, but the real shit was buried in the belly of the building. Drugs. Guns. Power.My men stood tall at the gates, weapons strapped, eyes alert. The moment they saw me, they straightened up. I was the king in my fucking empire—and tonight, I wasn’t in the mood for delays.“Is everything in order?” I snapped as we stepped out.“Yes, Boss,” one answered immediately. “This way.”I walked past rows of tables stacked with wrapped bricks of cocaine, watched by trusted hands who wouldn’t dare skim a gram. It reeked of power, of money, of a life soaked in blood and secrets. This was me. This was who I fucking was.Scar met us near the back, his face grim.Scar nodded and motioned us to the surveillance room. My boots echoed hard against the concrete floor as I followed.The screen showed him—Rence—tied to a chair, bloodied, breathing heavy through a busted n

    Clyde’s POVThe hum of the engine was the only thing that filled the silence.I sat in the backseat, elbows braced on my knees, fingers laced together so tight my knuckles had turned white. My jaw was locked, muscles ticking. I hadn't said a word since we left the house. Not because I had nothing to say—but because if I opened my mouth, I'd probably tear the fucking world apart.Will.That name alone made the blood in my veins sizzle.I could still see them—Allison and that bastard—in my mind like it was branded behind my eyelids. Him leaning too damn close. Whispering something into her ear, like he had a right. His hand… grazing her arm. Bare skin. Her skin.And she let him. Fuck.She didn’t move. Didn’t shove him away. Didn’t scream. Just stood there and let him breathe her in like she belonged to him.If she wasn’t guilty, then why the fuck did she let him touch her?My lungs were tight. Breathing hurt. My thoughts were a mess—raw, jagged pieces cutting through what little contr

    So without thinking, I ran between them, heart thundering, body trembling, barely able to catch his raised fist before it slammed into Will’s jaw. “Please…” My voice cracked, the word hanging in the air like a plea to God. My tears streamed freely down my face, burning hot trails across my skin. “Let. Go.” Clyde’s voice was low and rough—no longer the man who had made love to me just minutes ago, who’d kissed my lips like he worshipped me. This voice was cold. Controlled. Lethal. “Please don’t.” I sobbed again, wrapping my hand tighter around his, but he yanked it free with terrifying force and landed a brutal punch on Will. The sickening sound of knuckles meeting flesh rang out through the room. My lips quivered. I pressed my palm to my mouth to stifle the scream clawing its way up my throat. “How fucking dare you?!” Clyde roared, voice thick with fury, slamming his fist into Will again. And again. “No! Please stop!” I cried, voice raw, almost unrecognizable. I was shakin

  • Dangerous Love   It's about your boyfriend

    Allison’s POVThe worst part of loving someone is knowing you hurt—yet deep down, you still can’t let go.Just like always, he’d done unimaginable things to my body. The kind of pleasure only he could offer. And I’d taken all of it—willingly, shamelessly, with every part of me that still ached from loving him.Even as my heart throbbed beneath the weight of his secrets, I found myself curling deeper into his arms. Those strong arms that feel like home. That shield me from the bitter, cruel world. That hold me like I’m something precious—when everything else feels like it’s falling apart.Our naked bodies were tangled in the sheets of my bed, skin against skin, warmth against warmth. His soft, steady breathing fanned across my face as he slept, lips parted, lashes casting faint shadows over his cheeks. I couldn’t help but stare. God, he was beautiful. Even with the slight gauntness in his cheeks, even with the weight he’d lost… he was still breathtaking. Still mine. “I’m up for anot
