(FLASHBACK)I look up when she appears, her eyes hard. “What is it?”“I had a request,” I say quietly. It’s the following day after Mom’s wedding and last night her remark about wishing she could see my children made me come up with a sudden idea.Sure, it’s not perfect, but it would bring Mom great
Somehow, that’s sexy.“Adriana. What a beautiful name. Atticus and Adriana. Bless your souls,” Mom whispers, smiling softly, silent tears streaming down her cheek. Her voice pulls me from my trance.“Mrs-”“Mom, please call me Mom, dear. I won’t have this formality.”“M-mom…”“Atticus, open that top
ADRIANAThere’s something about a man going from relaxed to assertive and commanding that I damn love and when it’s this asshole, it’s even hotter. There’s a dominance in those steel-grey eyes that are now burning into mine.“Even if you don’t say anything, your beating heart conveys more than enoug
Talk yourself out of this one girl.I actually want to fucking see how I manage this one.Breathing deeply, I try to calm myself.I still. For a moment allowing myself to enjoy the embrace, which feels so… safe. I’ve never felt this safe in my life. From the very first day that Gerard took my hand a
ATTICUSHer screams reach my ears before one of my private ambulances comes into view, parked at the side of the road. Four of my men stand outside with their hands clasped in front of them. They spot me, instantly lowering their heads politely.I reach them and shift back. One of the men passes me
“She isn’t one to cry… so that speaks loud enough,” Zade says quietly as he sits back and glances at the open doors. “Let’s get her back home.”I nod, for once agreeing with him, and he motions for my men to shut the doors. They glance at me, and I nod, giving my approval.“To the original destinati
ATTICUS“How is she?” I ask quietly the moment Valerie shuts the door behind herself. She glances at Adriana’s bedroom door before walking down the hall to where I’m waiting against the stair rail.Sighing, she shakes her head. “Not great. She isn’t saying anything much. She just told me to leave.”
“These just arrived along with two smaller boxes.”“Thank you, those are for Ada’s grave. I will tend to them tomorrow, leave them in the hall, and I’ll take these,” I say, taking the large bouquet of a mix of flowers that I thought suited her and had this bouquet made.Zade raises an eyebrow. “I sa
I kiss her neck, nibbling teasingly on her skin, perfect… smooth… slender… She whimpers, her entire body reacting to my touch as she turns to face me. Our eyes meet, and she blushes as she grips my biceps before running her fingers down them, and then she’s fiddling with the buttons on my shirt, her
SEBASTIANOne moment I’m kissing her, the next I’m on my feet, pulling her with me as I cup her face and deepen that kiss. She tastes… like perfection.I groan, feeling my cock harden in my pants.Fuck, she’s doing things to me that no one else ever could.“Shall we get out of here?” I whisper. Her
ZAIAHe dropped me off last night promising to call me, but the day has come and gone and nothing. Maybe he realised I wasn’t suited for him.“Zaia, what is wrong with you, dear?” Mom scolds me.I look up from where I realise I’ve overpoured the juice in my glass. “Oh, I’m so sorry!” I exclaim as I
ZAIAThe weather is awful tonight, but there’s no one to pick me up. I tried to call Mom, but I couldn’t get through to her. The traffic is so bad I wasn’t able to get a taxi in this rain either, so I decided to return home on foot. I was at least able to message Mom to let her know I’m on my way ba
The rain begins pouring down as Annalise continues to drink the bottle she’s brought along. She’s pretty drunk, her words are slurring as she chatters on about something I have no interest in.The traffic is a nightmare, endless streams of red taillights stretching far ahead. I grit my teeth, wishin

“What’s wrong?” I ask sharply, closing the door behind me, surprised when Zaia lifts the trail of my dress so it doesn’t touch the bathroom floor. Neither of us exchanges a word as we look at Valerie, who is battling with herself. “Oh, I don’t know. Never mind. Let’s get back to our men.” She trie
