Evelyn POV

I had a hard time staying focused during the final day of the conference. After Kade and I had gotten ourselves presentable, I had gone back to my room to finish putting makeup on. I plugged my phone into its charging port where it lit up with notifications. Some were texts from Badger, some were social media notifications, however the rest were from Aaron wanting to FaceTime. The guilt was immediate. We weren’t exclusive, but part of me knew that our exclusiveness had been unspoken.

I quickly texted back Aaron, letting him know I was out late with people I’d met at the conference and crashed when I got back to the room. I would talk to him either tonight or tomorrow morning. The lie made my stomach twist.

My stomach continued to churn, making it impossible to focus on the closing keynote speakers. I didn’t see Kade until we were dismissed from the conference and I was waiting near the elevators. A firm, warm hand pressed against my hip before I felt the heat emanating fro

    —-Evelyn POV I decided on wearing a baggy T-shirt and some cotton shorts for whatever Kade planned. I knocked on his door and was greeted with a shirtless Kade. The sight took my breath away. His body looked like it was sculpted by an artist. I took in his tattoos that went over his chest and arms reveling in how they perfectly fit around his muscles. “Hi” my voice was more breathless than I’d anticipated. “Hi Princess, come in.” A small smile spread on his lips. As I walked into the suite, I was blown away by the sight before me. Candles were lit on every surface. Over on the island of the kitchen was a spread of fruits, chocolate, dessert sauces, and whipped cream. When I looked into the bedroom there was a cart with champagne, ice and some more fruit. The room lights were dimmed low, giving the entire suite a romantic atmosphere.I turned around to face Kade. “What is all of this?” “I wanted dessert for dinner.” He shrugged like it was the most reasonable response. He walked

    Kade POV My dick hurt from how hard it was. Evelyn was knock- out gorgeous in her professional clothes, but in comfy clothes, made me want fall to my knees. Her cotton shorts showcased just a hint of her ass cheeks, making me feel like a horny teenager. I couldn’t tell if my lust filled haze was brought on because of my dry spell or because of the beauty in front of me. My guess was the latter. I knew I needed to be fast on my feet for tonight's date. I had so many things I wanted to do, but didn’t have enough time. I settled on a mix of temperature play, food play, and edging. I was curious to see how she would react. Learning what turned her on would be my new favorite activity. After the last ice cube melted, I gently licked each nipple. The act made her shiver. I pressed kisses lazily down her stomach to just above her clit. Evelyn squirmed, trying to get the friction she needed for her release. “Do you want to cum on my face baby?” “Yes!” She cried while bucking her hips to m

    Evelyn POV“Phantom there's no way in hell I am wearing this!” Zombie complained as he held the pink t-shirt that read: ‘Down to DEFCON’. Buddha walked into the conference room with a huge smile on his face. “I don’t know Z, this shirt is pretty awesome.” He looked down at his own pink t-shirt that he had cut into a tank top. “I think pink is our color.” Zombie rolled his eyes. “You don’t even understand computers but yet you are wearing a shirt that only makes sense to computer people!”“Z if we all have to wear the shirt, you have to wear the shirt. Now quit your bitchin’ and put the shirt on so we can get this photo over with.” Badger said while slapping him on the backside of his head. Zombie groaned in protest, while I just sat in my conference chair and chuckled. Aaron walked in with Chief, both not mentioning the bright pink shirts they were wearing. Aaron noticed me and walked over and pressed a kiss to my cheek. “Hi beautiful.” I smiled up at him. Anxiety and guilt roared

    Evelyn POVAfter we briefed the team on the plan for Ricci, I walked outside and let the brisk air cool my skin. Now that I was back home, I had to deal with the harsh reality that I needed to figure out what I was doing with Aaron. Technically Kade was a job. This wasn’t real. I didn’t need to choose. “Keep telling yourself that,” a stupid little voice in the back of my head kept whispering.I somehow got home without having to talk to Aaron. As I opened the door to my apartment, a very angry Alfredo glared at me, meowed, and turned around fluffing his tail to show he was mad. I rolled my eyes. I never realized how much sass a cat could have until I got Mr. Grumpy-McGee. Leaving my bags near the front door, I plopped myself on the couch and covered myself with a throw blanket. Alfredo jumped on the couch and couldn’t resist the power of the fluffy blanket. He laid down on my chest and began to purr as I ran my fingers through his fur.“See you can’t stay mad at me.” I kissed his h

    Kade POVMy mind was swimming with too many thoughts of my new obsession with Evelyn, Ricci and his games, and Stefanos gaining more power.When we got back from the conference, I was summoned to a meeting with Ricci and at one of the warehouses that served as the middle point from shipping and receiving of the guns. Ricci had informed us that he had a shipment of women coming into the port in the next week. The conversation played on repeat in my mind.flashback:“I refuse to be part of the sex trade and you know this Ricci.” I sneered. He laughed in my face. Machine growled behind me as a warning. “Calm your dog, Ghost or I will take matters into my own hands.” I took a step forward, getting into Ricci’s face. “Threaten me again and you will find yourself 6 feet under concrete.” Ricci sniffed loudly before speaking. “We are getting off track. Stefanos and I had come to a mutual agreement. He will help with transport of my shipments and in return I will give him a cut of the funds

    Evelyn POVI choked on a piece of chicken. Literally choked on a piece of meat and not the fun kind! The paramedics were called to the restaurant when Kade was unable to help me with the Heimlich. The amount of embarrassment I felt from the spectacle I created was enough for an entire lifetime. After I confirmed for the fifth time with the paramedic that I was okay and didn’t need to go to the hospital, they finally left the scene. Way to act cool Evelyn when you get offered the opportunity you need to fulfill your mission. Kade rubbed my back. “Are you sure you are okay?” “Yes, can you please just take me home before Gepetto bans me from this heavenly place.”Kade laughed, “He doesn’t have a say in that Princess. Or he will have to answer to me. Seemingly how I own the place.”I groaned. “Ugh, of course you do. I still don’t think I can show my face here anytime soon.” He helped me stand and usher me out of the restaurant. I stared at the ground, avoiding all the awkward stares I

    Evelyn POVThe next week flew by in a blur. While Buddha and Badger tailed Ricci and Kade, while I stayed “normal” with my undercover mission. I told the team that I didn’t want to know all of the logistics of what the other team members were doing to take down Ricci in case I were ever caught. A must needed safeguard.Since our dinner, Kade seemed distant and distracted. I tried not to read into it, but I couldn’t help but feel a little panicked and hurt at his distance. He never flat out ignored me; however, his texts were simple, and his schedule was abnormally busy at work. Which made seeing each other nearly impossible. Could he know what I and the team were up to? Chief had Arrow helping Zombie sift through paperwork and old case files, making it easier to not feel conflicted between the two men. The fewer lies I needed to tell, the better.As I was cutting up some watermelon for a late evening snack, my phone began to ring. Not looking at the caller ID, I swiped the screen to a

    Later that afternoon, I sat in my living room scrolling through shows and movies on N*****x. Regardless of knowing that I would end up watching reruns of New Girl. My anxiety was in overdrive, replaying the conversation with my mom over and over again. I hadn’t touched my phone all day even though I heard the notifications come through. I was too hyper fixated on trying to come up with a rescue plan for my mother that I didn’t hear the buzzer to my apartment ring. At the third ring I finally walked up to the intercom panel in my apartment. “Hello?” My voice sounded hoarse. “It’s me, can I come up?” The melodious voice of Kade came through the speaker making my eyes bulge. I buzzed him in as I grabbed my phone to see I had 3 missed calls and 10 text messages. Kade Romano: Hi beautifulKade Romano: Can I see you tonight? Kade Romano: I’m sorry I’ve been MIA. Had some work stuff I needed to deal with.Kade Romano: Princess please respond to me. Kade Romano: Evelyn, it’s been two hour

    We slowly got into a routine with our newly formed family. Everything felt like it was slowly moving into place. Except for the radio silence, my sister had all of us on edge. We knew something was brewing. It was just a matter of time. For now, we would continue our lives as normal as we could. I had become an official partner for RSS and was working on liquidating all of Ricci Enterprise with the help of the Hive and my R-Team. The new headquarters and gym would be opening in a couple more weeks which had Buddha, Badger, Bodhi, and Chief extremely busy. I had helped name one particular wing that was designated for our training, specifically the mock missions training. The wing was named “Eye of Arrow” with a looped arrow symbol next to it to signify overcoming obstacles and solutions. Ever since our beautiful baby girl had been born, there seemed to be something going on between Badger and Machine. Both of them would look at the other longingly when the other wasn’t looking. Kade

    I looked at the mother of my beautiful, healthy baby girl. She was asleep on the hospital bed, looking at peace. After a gruesome labor of 28 hours, the woman deserved the rest. She had been such a trooper through the entire thing. Proving that my woman had bigger balls than most men I knew. A knock sounded on the wooden door before Buddha peaked his head in. I narrowed my brows. “How did you get past security?” I asked him slightly. Buddha gave me a broad smile. “I look like security. Didn’t take much. Told them I was meeting my boss to take up a post outside Evelyn’s room.” I rolled my eyes fully understanding why the young receptionist would believe that to be true. He walked into the room with a bouquet made out of balloons and marshmallows. My phone vibrated with a message. When I looked at the screen it was a text from Buddha in the newly made group chat. Buddha 🧘🧘: I have made it to where the target is. Chief 🇺🇸: excellent! Let us know when we can visit. I will be in

    8 Months LaterKade POV “Babe, we are going to be late!” I called out to Evelyn as I looked in the hallway mirror as I straightened my tie. Today was the grand opening of my new club, Oasis that was once called Olympus and owned by Ricci. Machine and I had worked hard making the space into an elegant yet erotic atmosphere. With a color palette of Deep Red and black with accents of crystal, we were able to achieve our goal. Never would this club be home to sex trafficking ever again. Tonight we would be showing our hard work off to our loved ones and the new elite members of the club. “Coming!” Evelyn yelled out from our bedroom. I heard her breathing heavily as she walked down the hall. She held her impressive baby bump as she walked. She looked breathtaking in a black satin floor-length gown that was tailored perfectly to her curves. Her hair was down and soft waves, which were calling me to run my hands through them. Evelyn was officially living with me in the penthouse after pu

    Kade POV Evelyn began to rock her hips over my hardening length as we devoured each other. My hands roamed from her breasts, her back, and then to her delectable ass. I let out a groan as I squeezed both ass cheeks in my hands. I removed my lips from hers and began to leave open-mouthed kisses down her jaw to her throat before standing up while continuing to hold Evelyn in my arms. She squealed at the sudden movement and locked her legs around me koala-style. She ran her hands through my hair as she nipped and sucked my neck and earlobe. I could feel the heat of her core on my waist as I walked closer to the bedroom. I could feel my cock dripping already with precum. I needed to be inside her. I kicked the door behind me and placed my girl on the bed before tearing off my and her clothes in record time. I tried to slow down, but the caveman in me had a primal need that had to be fulfilled. Evelyn spread open her legs giving me the perfect view of her wet pink pussy. I yanked on he

    Kade POVEVELYN 💕Amore mio: Are you home?I did a double take at my phone and questioned whether I was losing my goddamn mind. Sure as shit, Evelyn had texted me for the first time since our last intimate night together. I had just walked into my penthouse when I had received the text and had to sit down on one of the kitchen island stools to make sure I was reading her question correctly. I quickly snapped out of my shock and responded.ME: Yes, you ok?The typing bubble popped up on the phone before disappearing before reappearing again.EVELYN 💕 Amore mio: Can I come over? I need to talk to you.My heart began to pound in my chest. Play it cool, man. Don’t scare her off by coming on too strong. ME: Of course. You are always welcome here, Princess. I walked into my ensuite bathroom to make sure I looked presentable enough. I had been working from home and at the club we had just bought for the past couple of days and felt no desire to get put on a suit. I had a feeling though

    Evelyn POVAlfredo weaved through my legs as I heaved my breakfast into the toilet. “For fucksake!” I grumbled. I rinsed out my mouth and sent Badger a text, asking for her to bring me some soup and saltines. She called me seconds later, talking a mile a minute.“Do you think it’s the flu?” Badger asked over the phone. We were on number five of questions to determine why I was sick.I rested my head on the back rest of the sofa and placed my cellphone on my chest with Badger on speaker. “No. I don’t have a fever or anything.” I had no energy today. In fact, I progressively had been feeling run down for the past week. Badger went silent on the other end of the phone, making me look at the screen to make sure she was still on the line. “Jess?” “Yeah I’m here. I need to ask you something but promise not to freak out?” I rolled my eyes. “We both know you are going to ask regardless.” I laughed at my joke. “That’s beside the point.” “Badge, just ask! Sheesh!” “Are you pregnant?”I s

    Evelyn POVAll but Kade left my apartment. Matt apologized to Kade but also let him know that he knew about Kade’s skeletons in his closet before leaving the apartment. Kade sat on the sofa with Alfredo curled up in his arms. Seeing them together made me want to snap a picture but thought better of it. He was the one that pushed me away. “You know you are going to leave here covered in fur right?” Kade looked up at me as he continued to scratch behind one of Alfredo’s ears. “I missed this guy.” He looked back down at his furry friend. This statement took me by surprise before anger set in. “Kade, I need you to leave.”Kade looked back up at me, surprise in his expression. “What?”“You heard me.” I held the tears back that were threatening to spill from my eyes. Kade stood up with Alfredo in his arms who meowed in protest at the movement. “Evelyn,” He whispered. I extended my arms in a silent instruction for him to hand over my cat. “Don’t make this harder than it has to be Kade.

    Evelyn POV“You’re lucky I’m not pressing any legal action on your ass!” Kade screamed in Matt’s face. Matt stood up and shoved Kade away from him.“Back off ‘Ghost;” He emphasized with air quotes. “I did what I had to.” Buddha clapped both his hands down on Matt’s shoulders and pushed him back down into the dining chair. “We are here to talk, Master Sergeant. No need to get physical.” Buddha stated in a calm voice. I glanced at Chief with a weary expression. This could get out of hand quickly. Matt sighed. “I needed to have Anthony’s files in a vulnerable state so I could access them.” What the fuck?“Why go through all this trouble when you could have asked him?” Machine asked as he took a sip of his beer. Matt scrubbed a hand down his face before looking at me. “You weren’t the only one who observed from the shadows, Evelyn.” My heart sank into my stomach as I remembered vividly how my mother screamed and sobbed when she found out my dad was killed. “Explain.” Chief stated w

    EVELYN POV“I’ll be there as well.” Kade said with finality in his voice. “Wai-wait…N–” I stammered before getting cut off by Kade. His eyes told me not to argue with him. “What time Evelyn? This is a matter of RSS.” His voice was void of emotion. I nodded my head once with understanding. “6:30.” Kade looked back to the rest of the people in the room. “Continue.” He didn’t need to elaborate. Ollie was the next person to speak up as she took the remote from Lennie. “In this frame you can see Matthew take the thumb drive out and replace it with a plastic device that looked like a plug in for a wireless keyboard. This is the device that was meant to store data that he was looking for. From there the damage was done.” We knew the rest of the story and how I was able to fix it. I just hoped that Kade didn’t think I had anything to do with my brother’s actions. —-I went home early today not feeling well physically and mentally.
