Pucking Forbidden Claim Hating Him
Rook POVI snap.“You don’t fucking get to say that!” I shove him hard, rage flooding through me. “You don’t get to stand there and act like this was ever about protecting me. You raised me to be a fucking weapon, and when I finally did what you wanted, when I finally became exactly what you made me into, you act like it was my fucking choice?”He doesn’t react. He just takes it. Like he knew this was coming, like he’s been waiting for this moment.I shove him again, my breaths coming out ragged, my vision blurring at the edges. “Everything in my life is because of you!” My voice cracks, but I don’t stop. “Everything I lost, everything I had, you fucking destroyed it!”His jaw tightens, but he still doesn’t move, still doesn’t fight back, and that’s what breaks me. Because I want him to. I want him to hit me, to shove me back, to fucking give me an excuse to put my fists through his face.He won’t. He won’t, because he knows.My knees buckle before I even register it, and suddenly I’m

Kade’s POVThe press conference is tomorrow, and I still don’t know if I’m going.Hockey has always been my life. The dream. The thing I built my entire fucking existence around. But now? Now, I don’t know if I even want it anymore. Every time I lace up my skates, every time I step onto the ice, there’s this weight pressing down on me, this constant reminder that nothing is the same. I can’t focus, can’t play the way I used to, and the thought of spending the rest of the season like this makes me fucking sick.For the first time, I’m considering walking away. Leaving behind the money, the sponsorships, the so-called easy life, and going back home to my mother.Back to the trailer. Back to nothing. Back to a life where every dollar matters, where I’d be working some dead-end job just to scrape by. It sounds like hell.But it also sounds like freedom.Freedom from him.The only reason I haven’t packed my shit and left already is because my mom has been calling me nonstop all week. And I

Kade POVAmelia finally lifts her head, her eyes locking onto mine with something desperate, something pleading.“Why are you here, Amelia?” My voice is quieter now, but I already know I’m not going to like the answer.She hesitates, then swallows hard. “Because you know people.”I frown. “What the hell does that mean?”“You can find someone,” she says, gripping the baby carrier like it’s the only thing keeping her from breaking. “Someone to take care of her.”The words send a jolt through my chest, my entire body going rigid.“You want me to give your baby away?” My voice comes out sharper than I intend, but I can’t help it. The whole thing feels too fucking surreal.Her lower lip trembles, but she straightens, jaw clenched. “I don’t have a choice.”I stare at her for a long moment, then let out a breath and laugh because what the fuck else am I supposed to do? “Amelia, I don’t know shit about babies. I have no idea what to do here. The only thing I can offer is sending more money ho

Kade POVI stand there, staring at my phone, my entire body stiff with shock and fury.This can’t be happening.This can’t be fucking happening.The baby’s cries don’t stop. If anything, they just get louder, more urgent, more frantic.My pulse is pounding in my ears as I run a hand down my face, trying to think. My body feels like lead, exhaustion pressing into my bones, but I can’t ignore her. I can’t just leave her there screaming.Groaning, I crouch down, hesitating for half a second before reaching into the baby carrier. My hands feel awkward, too big, too rough, but I manage to scoop her up, holding her against my chest. She’s tiny, way smaller than I expected, her little face scrunched up and red as she wails.“Okay, okay, I got you,” I mutter, even though I have no fucking clue what I’m doing.I bounce her slightly, adjusting my grip. Nothing. The crying doesn’t stop. If anything, she just gets louder. Moving towards the kitchen, I open the diaper bag Amelia left behind. There

Rook’s POVI stare at the baby carrier, then at Mercer, and then back at the baby carrier.A slow grin spreads across my face, and before I can stop myself, I let out a short laugh. “So when exactly did you manage to get a woman pregnant?”Mercer shoots me a glare so sharp it could cut glass. “Fuck off, Rook,” he mutters, shifting the carrier onto the table and unfastening the straps.The second the buckle clicks, the baby lets out a scream, one that practically bounces off the walls. Mercer groans, rubbing a hand down his face before lifting her out, cradling her against his chest in a way that’s both awkward and surprisingly careful.“She’s not mine,” he says through gritted teeth, as if that explains anything.Nikolai steps closer, eyeing the baby with a calculating look before raising an eyebrow. “She has your eyes.”Mercer’s head snaps up so fast I think he might get whiplash. “She has my sister’s eyes,” he practically growls, his exhaustion making him more volatile than usual.I

Rook POVBefore Mercer can respond, my dad finally speaks up, his voice calm but firm. “It’s too late for that.”Mercer and I both turn to him. He’s watching us, his usual unreadable expression in place, but there’s something in his eyes that makes my stomach tighten.“What do you mean too late?” Mercer asks, and I already know he’s not going to like the answer.Dad exhales, crossing his arms. “The second you stepped out of that car with the baby, the media caught it. Pictures are already spreading.” He pulls out his phone, swipes a few times, then turns the screen toward us. “They’re already making assumptions.”Mercer steps forward, snatching the phone and staring at whatever’s on the screen. His jaw tightens, his fingers clenching around the edges. “What the fuck,” he mutters.Curious, I lean over to take a look, and the second I do, I can’t help but laugh.There it is. Crystal-clear shots of Mercer stepping out of his car, baby carrier in hand, looking like he’s barely holding it

Rook POVMercer runs a hand through his hair, his knee bouncing like he’s barely keeping himself together. I can practically see the gears turning in his head, running through every possible scenario, every potential fallout.“This isn’t going away, Mercer. We have to give them something to answer for the pictures.”Mercer leans against the table, arms crossed over his chest, looking like he wants to be anywhere but here. “I don’t care what we say,” he mutters. “Make something up. Tell them whatever the fuck you want.”I let out a sharp laugh. “Really? You don’t care? Because last I checked, you were the one ready to rip my head off when the pictures showed up.”His glare is instant. “That was different.”“Was it?” I push, stepping closer. “You say you don’t care, but we both know you do. So let’s figure this shit out now before we get in front of the cameras and you start losing your temper again.”Mercer exhales sharply, pinching the bridge of his nose. ”Fine,” he mutters. “We say i

Rook POVMercer lifts his chin, eyes burning into mine, and I don’t know which one of us does it first, if it’s him, or if it’s me, or if it was always going to happen. But suddenly, we’re kissing.It’s not soft. It’s not careful.It’s months of anger, weeks of tension, days of regret, all crashing together at once.His hands fist in my shirt, yanking me closer, and my fingers dig into his sides, pulling him in so fucking tight there’s no space left between us. He bites my lip, and I groan into his mouth, and it’s chaos, it’s war, it’s us.And for the first time since I lost him, since I let him walk away, I feel like I can fucking breathe again.His mouth is still on mine, hungry, desperate, like he’s trying to prove something, like he’s still fighting, even now. And maybe he is. Maybe this is just another battle in whatever the hell this thing between us is.I don’t care. My hands grip his waist, pulling him closer, and Mercer doesn’t stop me. Instead, he pushes back, his fingers ta

Pucking Forbidden Claim Fighting Words
Kade POVDanielle watches, waiting, maybe hoping that I’ll finally break. I don’t. I inhale slowly, shaking the blood from my lips, and laugh.“How long do you think you’ve got left?” I ask, my voice rough but still steady. “Every minute you waste here? That’s more time my men have to find me. And when they do? You’ll be fucking wishing you killed me the second I walked through that door.”The guy in front of me hesitates, glancing back at her, waiting for an order.“Keep going,” she snaps, her voice sharper now.He does. Another punch to my ribs, another to my jaw, but I don’t stop grinning. The pain is sharp, burning through my body, but I don’t let it show. They want me to break. They want me to plead. That’s never going to happen.Danielle steps closer, her eyes locked onto mine. “You think you’re so fucking smart, don’t you?” she
Pucking Forbidden Claim Fighting
Kade POVI hiss through my teeth, more from the annoyance than the pain. “There you go. That’s a little better.”She glares, dragging the blade in a shallow cut across my side, but she’s still holding back. Testing me. I shake my head, sighing.“See, this is why you’re not going to win,” I say, my voice steady despite the sting. “You don’t actually know how to do this.”Danielle scoffs. “Oh, I don’t?”I tilt my head. “No. If you did, you wouldn’t be wasting time with this weak shit.”She presses the knife in harder, and I grin, feeling her frustration build. “You want to break someone? You don’t start here,” I say, nodding toward my ribs. “You start small. Fingers. Knees. Maybe a little nerve damage if you want to get creative.”She stills, something flickering across her face. Disgust. Uncertainty.&ldq
Pucking Forbidden Claim Not Weak
Kade POVHer nostrils flare as she presses the blade harder, drawing a thin line of blood. “You don’t hold the power here.”“Don’t I?” I whisper, locking eyes with her. “Then why are you the one trying to prove something?”Her grip tightens on the knife, but she hesitates. That’s her biggest fucking problem. She doesn’t commit. She doesn’t know how to follow through.“Let me tell you how this plays out,” I continue, voice smooth despite the sting on my cheek. “You keep me here, keep trying to break me, but it doesn’t work. Eventually, you get frustrated, you get sloppy, and then my men find me. And when they do, you don’t walk away from this.”Her eyes narrow. “You sound pretty fucking confident for someone tied up right now.”“Because I know how this ends.” I smirk. “And so do you.”Danielle exhale
Pucking Forbidden Claim Taken
Kade POVLorenzo is weird. Not in a bad way, just… he’s always had that tone in his voice that says he’s not right in the head, and sitting here, talking to him, I know he’s far from right.I glance at my phone again. I know it’s disrespectful, but I want to stay on time and prove to Rook that I won’t mess up.“You keep looking at it,” Lorenzo taps the phone.“Sorry, I just want to stay on schedule.”He nods. “I understand that, which is why, as soon as the hour is up, my watch will vibrate to remind me,” he laughs, and I nod.Maybe that’s what I need to do—rather than constantly checking my phone.I go back to focusing on our conversation, making sure he knows exactly who I am and the kind of person I am. He talks a bit about Nikolai and the time they spent together when he had just started taking over here. He respects Nikolai&mdash

Rook POV“Find him!” I shout, turning back toward the others, fury and fear bleeding into every word.“We’re working on it,” Damon says quickly. “But his phone was found out the back of the restaurant. Smashed.”No. No, no, no. That phone was the only way to find him.“Track my phone,” I demand. “Whoever it is has my phone. Track it!”“We already tried when you didn’t answer my calls,” one of the men mutters. “It’s not giving off a signal.”My head shakes violently. “Nothing? You’ve had nothing? Not a single fucking thing to give you a hint of what they want?”Damon hesitates.I step toward him. “What is it?”His jaw clenches before he finally speaks. “Lorenzo dug into it and he mentioned there were three targets. Kade, you… and Harlow.”Everything inside me stills.

Rook POVHarlow is still relaxed against me.“You having fun, princess?” I murmur, resting my chin on top of her head.She nods against me. “I like it here. It’s quiet, and you and Rose aren’t talking about boring grown-up stuff.”Rose chuckles from where she’s sitting nearby. “I’ll have you know I’m very fun, Harlow.”Harlow tilts her head back, grinning. “You’re fun, but you still say boring stuff sometimes.”I laugh, squeezing her a little. “Well, you got me there.”She sits up a little, looking at me seriously. “Can we stay here forever?”I raise an eyebrow. “Forever is a long time, princess.”She sighs, playing with the edge of my sleeve. “I know, but I like when it’s just us. No busy stuff, no people being mad about things, just us.”Damn. I feel that. I know exactly what
Pucking Forbidden Claim Perfect Holiday
Rook POVFor the first time in a long time, I feel myself fully relax, knowing that he won’t be stretching himself thin anymore. He won’t be trying to do too much, won’t be running himself into the ground trying to be in three places at once.He made the decision, and I know he won’t go back on it.“You okay with it?” he asks, like my opinion actually matters in this.I press a kiss against his forehead. “Yeah. I am.”Kade lets out a quiet breath, his body sinking into mine again. I feel the way his hand tightens around mine, the way he clings to me just a little bit more.For once, he’s letting go of something that doesn’t serve him anymore. And for once, he’s choosing himself. Choosing us.This week has been amazing. It’s weird, I didn’t know what I was missing, I just knew things weren’t right. The more of this week that passed, the more time
Pucking Forbidden Claim Agreeing
Rook POVThe house is simple, almost too simple. The walls are bare stone, the furniture minimal, just enough to make it livable. It’s not extravagant, not dripping in wealth like the places we usually stay, but somehow, that makes it better. There’s nothing here to distract us. No reminders of the world we left behind for the week, no ringing phones, no people demanding our attention. Just us.I walk further in, dragging my fingers along the edge of the wooden table in the center of the room. Kade doesn’t say anything, just watches me with that unreadable look on his face. I know what he’s thinking. This place isn’t like us. But maybe that’s why he chose it.He disappears into the bedroom, and I follow, finding him already stripping off his clothes. He tosses his shirt onto the chair by the window before moving onto his pants. I smirk. “Eager?”He doesn’t bother looking up as he kicks
Pucking Forbidden Claim Feeling Better
Kade POVThe meal continues with Rottami di Pollo in Padella, a rustic dish of pan-fried chicken finished in a wood oven. The skin is golden and crisp, the aroma rich and inviting.Rook picks up a piece, biting into it with an appreciative groan. “Okay, I’ll admit, this is really good. But no pasta? No pizza? What kind of Italian meal is this?”I chuckle. “Authentic, traditional. Not the tourist menu.”His lips quirk up as he leans back. “Still think pizza would’ve been a nice touch.”A wedge of Parmigiano Reggiano is placed on the table, the waiter cutting thick slices straight from the wheel. Rook stares at it, his eyes widening slightly.“That is an excessive amount of cheese,” he mutters.“Think you can handle it?” I tease.He grins, taking a generous piece. “Watch me.”When we finally finish that, the final course arrives, Arance all
