[Kendall]

I wake up with Camden's arms wrapped around me, and it takes me a long moment to figure out where I am and what’s going on.

Then I remember last night—a flash across my memory of Bruno’s face—and I gasp.

Camden murmurs something in his sleep and rocks against me, his morning erection pressing against my ass.

I swallow hard.

My teenage self would be over the moon right now, lying in bed with Camden, feeling his arms around me, his body pressed against mine—but I have no idea how to handle it.

My mind is spinning between the confusion of this intimate closeness and the aching emptiness inside me.

Part of me wants to cling to him and let myself forget, even if just for a little while.

I just don’t want to think anymore. I don’t want to see Bruno’s dead body, think about the fact that he’s just...gone.

I don’t want to think about Marco’s heavy breaths as he chased me through the woods.

Or how I was only able to get rid of him by climbing over a rose bush that cut along my legs, the sharp sting of the thorns scraping across my skin.

So I lie there, hoping Camden won’t notice that I’m awake, hoping he’ll just keep holding me.

But he shifts, his hand coming to rest on my waist, his fingers brushing the edge of my skin under my shirt.

“Kendall,” he murmurs, his voice low and rough with sleep.

My heart stutters, and I freeze, not knowing what to say. He shifts closer, and I can feel his breath against my ear, warm and soft, sending a shiver down my spine.

“Are you alright?” he whispers, his voice so close, so intimate, that it makes my heart pound faster.

I don’t know what to say. I don’t know what I want.

All I know is that his warmth, his strength, feels like the only solid thing in my world right now, and I want to cling to it.

He shifts his hand, his fingers tracing along my waist, and I suck in a shaky breath.

When I look up, his sea-green eyes are gazing down at me with an intensity that makes my stomach flip.

“Camden…” I whisper, my voice barely audible, and he leans in closer, his eyes darkening.

Before I can think about what’s happening, he’s pressing his lips to mine, soft and warm.

The kiss is gentle at first, hesitant, as if testing my resolve.

But when I respond, when I let myself lean into him, he deepens it, his hand sliding up my side, pulling me closer.

His lips are warm and soft against mine, his kiss growing hungrier as he presses his body against mine.

I can feel every inch of him, and my heart races, my body heating up all over as if my skin is coming alive under his touch. His lips are urgent, almost desperate, and I lose myself in the feel of them.

My hands trail down his back, feeling the firm, muscled curve of his shoulder blades under my fingers. I scratch my acrylic nails down his bare flesh, watching the goosebumps rise in response.

He lost the T-shirt sometime in the night, and I’m grateful. The sight of him like this—bare-chested, vulnerable, and with me—is a thrill that races down to my very core.

His chest is broad and tight, and he pulls me closer, his hands firm on my waist as he rolls his hips against me. I can feel him, hard and thick, pressing against my thigh, and a surge of desire flares inside me, taking over the ache of my sadness for the first time since yesterday.

I moan into his mouth, and he pulls away, panting, his breath mingling with mine in the close space between us.

I shake my head before he says anything, my hands resting on his chest as I struggle to catch my breath. “Camden, this is... This is wrong,” I whisper, my voice trembling. “What about Elora?”

His lips curve into the faintest smirk, his sea-green eyes boring into me. “Do you think I haven’t thought about this? About her? About what she’d say?”

His fingers trace along my waist, sending shivers through me even as his words make my chest tighten. “But Kendall, this isn’t about her right now. This is about us.”

I pull back slightly, shaking my head. “N-no, Camden. She’d never forgive me.”

He cups my face, his thumb brushing along my cheek. “You can’t tell me you don’t feel this, principessa. That you don’t want this.”

I bite my lip, his words cutting through my resolve. “It doesn’t matter what I want,” I say, though my voice is weak, trembling. “It’s wrong.”

“Wrong?” he murmurs, leaning in closer, his breath warm against my skin. “Tell me, principessa—does this feel wrong?” He presses his lips to mine again, his kiss fierce and unyielding, leaving me breathless.

I stare at him, my heart pounding, my emotions a tangled mess. “Camden...” I whisper, my voice breaking.

His hands tighten on my waist, his body impossibly close to mine. “Stop running from what you already know you want.”

I don’t know how to respond. All I know is that his touch, his presence, is everything I need right now. And maybe, just for this moment, that’s enough.

He rolls over, covering my body with his own, and I feel his warmth, his strength, pressed into every inch of me. He kisses along my neck, the light scrape of his teeth sending shivers down my spine, and then along my collarbone.

His lips warm and gentle as he slowly tears down my shirt to get to my breasts.

They spill out of the ruined shirt, and he latches onto a nipple, his mouth hot and soft.

My back arches, a sharp cry escaping me as waves of heat and pleasure pulse through me.

I haven’t been with a man since high school, since my one and only boyfriend. But he was just a stupid boy.

I’ve never been with a man like Camden.

He moves his tongue around my peaked nipple, flicking it lightly before sucking, and it sends a jolt of pleasure down between my legs.

I spread my thighs, needing more, needing all of him.

When he finally pulls his head up, after torturing me for what feels like forever, he slides my shorts down and off, throwing them to the ground.

He sits up on his knees, looking down at me with a heated gaze that makes me feel exposed and wanted all at once.

I can see his hardness through his sweats, see how long and thick he is, and my eyes widen.

Is that even going to fit?

    [Kendall]My pulse races, anticipation thrumming through me like a live wire, and he watches me with a smirk that’s both reassuring and maddeningly confident. His eyes are dark with desire, but there’s something else beneath the surface, something I can’t quite place.“You’re so beautiful, Kendall,” he murmurs, his voice thick with need. He slides a hand down my thigh, the roughness of his fingertips sending shivers along my skin, as if he’s marking me, leaving traces of his touch everywhere. My body trembles under the weight of it, a hunger igniting deep inside.His words send a strange, warm ache through my chest, and I reach up, pulling him back down to me, desperate to feel his weight, his warmth, against me. The heat of his body presses into mine, each inch of him a reminder of how badly I’ve wanted this, how long I’ve been fighting this pull between us. His breath, hot and ragged, dances across my neck as he moves, making me dizzy.He cups his hand against my pussy, and the he

    [Kendall] “You said you didn’t want to think. Did it help?” His words carry a weight, a quiet sincerity that makes my heart ache in a way I wasn’t prepared for. “I’m not thinking anything,” I whisper, my voice raw, as I look away, my fingers brushing over the marks he left on my skin. Camden laughs softly, rubbing a hand over his face. “Then it did work,” he chuckles, his laughter warm and somehow comforting, like a balm on my scattered nerves. I have no idea what to do with myself now. My body feels heavy and weightless at the same time, like I’m floating in some strange, blissful limbo. I stand up on shaky legs, unsure of what happens next, and mumble, “I think I’ll take a shower.” Camden nods, throwing a forearm over his eyes as if he, too, is processing what just happened, giving me space. I leave the room, the cool air of the hallway hitting me like a shock, and head to the bathroom. I stare at myself in the mirror for a long time, at the marks Camden left on my throat

    [Camden]I don’t tell Kendall about the noise from yesterday. She’s already anxious, and I’d rather her feel safe, even if this morning only took her mind off things for a little while. I call Dante while I’m checking the perimeter of the safe house.“Any news?” I ask as soon as he picks up, my voice low.“Not yet,” he answers, a hint of frustration sharpening his tone. “Angelo swears he spotted Marco running down the highway, but he couldn’t catch up with him after the party, so who knows.”I frown, glancing toward the dense treeline on the edge of the property, every nerve on alert. “Angelo doesn’t drink. Why wouldn’t you believe him?”Dante sighs, a faint rustling sound in the background, as though he’s pulling on his hair. “I don’t know, it was dark, so I’m taking it with a pinch of salt, I guess.”I hum, eyes narrowed as I peer toward the shadows. The moon barely cut through the trees last night. He’s probably right, Angelo could’ve seen anyone out there.“I’m going to move safe

    [Camden]Kendall makes a surprised squeak, her head pressing into my thigh as I try to get a clearer look at the car on our tail.The sharp pop of gunfire rings out, followed by a shattering sound as a bullet takes out the back glass, splintering it like ice.“Fuck!” I curse, jerking the wheel hard to the left, cutting in front of an oncoming truck. If this asshole wants to play chicken, we’ll play.The truck horn blares, a deep, shuddering roar that reverberates through the car.I speed up, riding so close to the massive truck’s grille that the heat of the engine seems to pulse against my back. My heart pounds in my ears, but I hold steady, gripping the wheel so hard my knuckles go white. Just before we make contact, I catch a glimpse of the trucker’s wide-eyed, horrified face, and then yank the wheel to the right, swerving back into our lane at the last possible second.The old Ford behind us tries to follow but veers off-road, bouncing wildly in the dirt as it struggles to keep up

    [Kendall]Camden's still wearing a pair of sweats, and I tug them down with one hand, freeing his cock. It bobs up around my mouth, already half-hard, thick and throbbing in my grip. A groan escapes his throat as I wrap my fingers around his base, feeling his pulse beneath my touch.I’m not all that experienced with sex, but I’ve given head to my ex-boyfriend about a hundred times. He had always preferred it to sex. It occurs to me now, as Camden’s cock hardens against my palm, that my ex was a real asshole. But I didn’t realize that at the time.With Camden, I feel safe. I feel… powerful. I feel like he’s watching my every move, waiting for each touch, each lick, each slide of my lips around him. So, I wrap my lips around his cock, savoring the salty taste as I take him deeper into my mouth, sucking gently, letting my tongue drag along his length.His hips jerk up beneath me, one hand gripping the wheel, the other tangling in my hair, guiding me down. I can still feel pieces of gl

    [Kendall]Camden pulls away from me, breathing in deeply like he’s been holding his breath, and moving his fingers out of me before lining up. He taps one of my hips while I’m still gasping.“Turn over,” he demands. “Want to see that ass of yours jiggling against me.”I do as he says immediately, turning over and getting up on all fours, spreading my thighs. He pushes into me almost instantly, and I moan loud and long.His cock stretches me out from a whole other angle, deeper and harder than before, and I can’t stop moaning. Camden grunts, thrusting forward, and I brace myself on the headboard. It slams against the wall as he fucks me, rough and insistent, and I’m glad we don’t have any neighbors because they’d definitely be hearing us.“Fuck me,” I gasp, feeling my walls tightening around him. “Fuck me hard, Camden.”“Don’t have to ask me twice,” he groans, slamming his hips against my ass, his balls hitting against my clit until I come again, shuddering and clenching around him.H

    [Camden]“That’s it,” Kendall says. “It’s official.”I look up from my coffee, the warm, nutty aroma filling the kitchen. She’s standing in front of the open refrigerator, light spilling around her, wearing one of my T-shirts that just barely covers her thighs. The curve of her ass peeks out from under the fabric, and I stare, unabashedly, at the perfect view.After all, we’re kind of playing house right now, so I’m allowed, right?This whole setup will change when we’re back home, but for now, it feels dangerously like a life we could almost call our own. “Stop looking at my ass and listen to me,” she says, frustration in her voice as she shoots me a scolding look over her shoulder. I laugh, the sound echoing softly through the quiet, secluded house.“Okay, principessa. What’s wrong?”“We’re officially out of all food products,” she says with a huff, crossing her arms as she looks into the empty shelves. Her bare feet tap lightly against the cool tile, her brows furrowed. “You’ve g

    [Camden]I don’t feel safe going to the corner store. Somewhere in public might be better, so I head to a big box store further up in this small town. “Why did you want me to come with you?” Kendall asks, something odd in her tone.“Maybe I’d miss you,” I mumble.“Really?” she asks with a grin.“No,” I confess, laughing. “I just worried that Marco might have someone waiting outside. I want you with me so I can protect you.” “Of course,” she mutters. For a moment, I think she’s upset, but then she smiles, and the tension dissolves.Kendall takes most things in stride. More and more, I’m seeing how different she is from Elora.Inside, she grabs a cart, pushing it as I trail behind her, feeling like her shadow. We pile it high, racking up a ridiculous amount of groceries.She picks out a few clothes too, glancing back with a small smile as she slips a couple of items into the cart without showing me. I can only hope some of them are lingerie.We hit nearly five hundred dollars by check

    Ralph stared at me. I could tell he wanted to argue.I waited for him to say something, anything, that I could use to shut down any chance he had left of getting close to Megan.To my surprise, though, he reluctantly nodded. “All right…all right. I’ll…I’ll do what you say. So long as you promise you won’t stand in Megan’s way if she wants to see me someday.”I regarded him a long moment before releasing a long sigh. “I promise. I won’t stand in her way. And I promise that I will take excellent care of her.”Ralph dropped his head, looking defeated.“I know you will,” he whispered.At that moment, I heard Sadie rushing back to us.“The cops are on their way,” she gasped when she reached me. She looked between me and Ralph and then gave me a relieved smile. “I’m glad to see everyone is still in one piece.”“Barely,” I grumbled.She wrapped her arm around mine and hugged it.“Thank you,” she whispered.I smiled down at her, but I then caught movement out of the corner of my eye.

    CyrusI was at the very end of my control. My temper was about to snap. I kept reminding myself of Sadie’s words. Of my promise to her, but it was getting damn difficult to hold myself back. Ralph would just not give up. He kept pushing and pushing, bringing up Kate’s name and claiming Megan as his.It was infuriating. He kept saying he was a changed man, but he wasn’t taking responsibility for what he’d done. He wasn’t owning the fact that Kate wouldn’t have driven off the road that day if he hadn’t chased after her. I didn’t care that it was an accident. I didn’t care that he thought he loved her.In the end, it didn’t matter. It didn’t matter because Kate was still gone. And she was gone because of him.“You know what, Cyrus?” Ralph growled. “You think you’re so high and mighty. You think you’re so much better than I am, but the truth is, you failed Kate just as much as I did.”My whole body went cold. “What the hell are you saying?”Ralph had the gall to glare at me. “If you thou

    I couldn’t comprehend that. It made no sense.“How could you claim to love her and yet hurt her as much as you did?” I asked in a soft, cold voice. “How could you love her, but you put your hands on her? Hit her and scare her? Manipulate her, so she remained submissive and broken?”“I was messed up,” he answered in a pathetic tone. “I know I was. I know what I did to Kate was wrong. If I could go back and redo everything, I would. I’d love her the way she deserved to be loved. I wouldn’t lay a hand on her, and I’d do everything I could to make her happy. There is nothing I want more than the chance to undo all that I did, but I can’t. It’s too late for me to make things right with Kate, but it’s not too late for me to make things right with Megan!”I stared down at him, debating whether or not I believed him. To be honest, he did seem to be truly remorseful. I didn’t think anyone could truly fake this kind of emotion.Still, just b

    CyrusI waited until Sadie and Megan were out of the maze and out of sight before I turned back to Ralph. He hadn’t moved, which was smart of him. If he’d tried to go after them, things would have gotten bloody. I didn’t want to break my promise to Sadie, though. She’d been right about needing to keep my temper in check and not attack Ralph. I couldn’t risk Megan’s wellbeing or her placement with me.I also didn’t want Sadie to look at me like I was a monster. I didn’t want to disappoint her. She was counting on me to take care of this matter and protect our…family.Our family.I couldn’t believe she’d said that. It made my chest swell with eagerness, pride, and hope. She wanted us all to be together. She was staking her claim on me and Megan, and it made me happier than I could have imagined. However, that happiness was overshadowed by my anger toward Ralph, who appeared as the only remaining obstacle in the way of the happy and whole life that I knew I could have with Sadie and Mega

    CyrusIt felt like an eternity before I reached the estate. Ralph had several hours of a head start, at least, and Sadie wasn’t answering her phone.“Pick up, damn it,” I said, clenching my phone so hard I was surprised I didn’t crack it. “Why aren’t you answering?”I tried one more time, but still, she didn’t pick up.A million thoughts were running through my head, and none of them were good. I couldn’t stop imagining all sorts of terrible scenarios. I was growing more and more afraid that I was going to be too late. What would Ralph do to them if he got to them first? I didn’t want to believe that he’d actually hurt Megan, but Sadie? Ralph had no reason not to hurt her if he thought she was in his way.When I finally reached the estate, I was in a state of utter panic. I sped up the driveway and came to a screeching stop in front of the house. Throwing open the car door, I bolted to the front door and burst into the house.“Sadie!” I called out. “Megan?”When there was no answer, I

    SadieThe house felt empty without Cyrus. It was strange. There were still staff members around and security guards, but it seemed as though a significant presence was absent. Like something was missing from the estate.I maintained a cheery expression for Megan’s sake, but inside, I was a mess. I was afraid for Cyrus’ safety, first and foremost. Despite his confidence that Ralph wouldn’t dare do anything to him specifically, I wasn’t so certain. If Ralph was desperate enough, who knows what he’d try and who he’d go after?Apart from that, though, I just missed him like crazy. He’d only been gone a few hours, but it felt so much longer. I didn’t really understand why I was so desperate for him to come back. It was only going to be a couple of days…it wasn’t an unreasonable amount of time. Maybe it was because things between us were so undefined. We were together, but we weren’t, and it was hard not to let my insecurities creep into the edge of my mind without Cyrus around to put them

    Cyrus“You listen to Sadie while I’m gone, all right. Be a good girl.”Megan nodded, her big eyes wide as she stared up at me. Morning had come far too quickly, and I was getting ready to hit the road back to the city. Sadie and Megan were standing in the driveway next to my car to tell me goodbye. Megan was still in her pajamas, and Sadie wore a pair of yoga pants and a tank top I desperately wanted to rip off her. She gazed at me with a worried expression, but I could tell she was trying not to let her anxiety show in front of Megan.“Will you come back soon, Uncle Cyrus?” Megan asked, reaching up to grab my hand. “I don’t want you to go.”I gave her a tender smile and lowered myself, so I was squatting in front of her.I patted her head and said, “I’ll only be gone a day or two. I promise, you won’t even notice I’m gone.”She stuck out her bottom lip. “Yes, I will.”I chuckled and nodded. “All right, maybe you will because you’re a very smart girl. You’ll have Sadie, though.

    CyrusTwo days after my picnic with Sadie, I was working in my office on the estate, trying to focus on my work and not on how much I wanted to hunt her down right that moment and bend her over. I was coming to realize that I could grow dangerously addicted to the woman…and I didn’t want to do a damn thing about it. I was happy to be addicted to Sadie.Just as I was deciding to give into my desire to go and find her, my phone rang. It seemed as though Sadie was being saved by the bell…for the moment.Picking up my phone, I saw that it was my assistant back at the New York office.“Hello?” I answered the call. “What can I do for you, Brenda?”“I’m sorry to bother you, sir,” she replied in her usual no-nonsense tone. “But I’m afraid we’ve had an issue arise, and we need you to come back to the city.”“What? What are you talking about?” I growled. “What’s going on?”“I’m afraid the executives over at Micourt are stalling in the merger deal,” she told me. “They’re refusing to move forward

    “I know,” he replied, crawling up my body and kissing me once more. “I don’t want you to get off just yet, though. I want to make this last…and I want to be inside you when you do come.”I felt my cheeks flush at his words and my heart was beating so hard, I thought he had to hear it. He reached down to undo his pants and release his erection. I parted my legs wider and wrapped my arms around his neck, leaving myself completely open and vulnerable to him. He stared down at me, his eyes swirling with a heady mixture of lust and tenderness, as he slowly sank into me.My lips parted, and I gasped as he filled me, the sensation overwhelming and pleasurable but familiar at the same time. My body had grown used to his by that point. It welcomed his invasion with no resistance. When Cyrus had sunk into the hilt, he stopped and held himself still for several moments, his gaze never wavering from mine.“You feel so perfect,” he murmured. “Like you were made for me.”“When you say things like t
