Pucking Forbidden Claim Taunting Him
Rook POVKade mutters under his breath, rubbing his jaw like he’s still recovering from the revelation. “Not everyone just knows for sure they’re gay without checking, Volkov.”That’s it. That’s all it takes for me to lose it. Laughter bursts out of me, loud and shameless, because this is gold. “Ohhh, I remember,” I say, grinning. “And from what I heard back then, you were really enjoying trying to figure that out.”Kade glares at me, but it only makes me laugh harder.“Women, men, women, women, women, men, men.” I tick them off on my fingers as I go, smirking at him. “Oh, and then back to women.”Kade groans, rubbing his face. “Jesus, Rook. Grow up.”Still laughing, I shake my head. “Nah, not when I finally get to drag you for this. You were so dedicated to the research. Really committed to the cause.”“You’re insufferable,” he grumbles.“And yet, here you are, moving into my house,” I shoot back.Kade just shakes his head, muttering something under his breath, but I catch the way hi

Kade POVPacking up my apartment should be simple, throw my stuff in boxes, haul it to Rook’s place, and be done with it. But my mind keeps dragging me back. Back to Shattuck-St. Mary’s. Back to what Rook said about us meeting before I even knew who he was.The only memory I have is the night he walked in on me with some girl. But that can’t be it. There has to be more. I shove a few things into a box, but I’m barely paying attention now. Digging through my memory, I think about those years, about any moment that stands out.And then it clicks. Turning toward Rook, I watch him toss one of my old jerseys in the air, lazily catching it like he has all the time in the world.I narrow my eyes. “Hey.”He glances at me, still smirking. “What?”“You said we met before the AHL. Before everything. And you were at Shattuck the same time as me?”Rook nods, stretching like this is the most comfortable conversation in the world. “Yeah. Why? Still struggling with your memory, old man?”Ignoring tha

Kade POVMy apartment is nothing but boxes now. Some labeled rubbish, others storage. The storage boxes hold things I don’t need day to day, stuff I could probably live without but still can’t seem to let go of.I sit there, staring at them, wondering why the hell I’m holding onto so much.At first, I kept everything because it meant something. Proof that I’d made it, that I’d gone further than most people from where I came from. Back then, it felt like an achievement. Now? It just feels like a weight.People always told me well done, smiling as they said I did the right thing by getting out. Some even called me an inspiration for the kids who grew up in the same place I did. But now I can’t help but wonder, did they really mean it?Hell, even my own mother wasn’t happy for me. Not really.She spent years playing pretend, acting proud, telling me she wanted me to succeed. But deep down, she hated that I escaped, that I got out and left her behind.Sighing, I hold out my hand. “I need

Kade POVRolling my eyes, I shake my head. “So, for a change, you’re not fighting it, and that’s supposed to be progress? And now I’m the one who has to do something about it?”Rook laughs, his hand sliding behind my neck, gripping lightly. “I’m joking, Kade.”I let out a breath, rolling my eyes as I lean in and kiss him. “I stop fighting every time, and now you decide to?” I murmur against his lips.“I figured I’d see what it felt like,” he admits, his voice laced with amusement. “But apparently, I don’t actually want to fight or pretend I don’t want to fuck you.”His hands tighten around me, pulling me down flush against him. Heat sparks under my skin as my hands move along his body, feeling the way he arches slightly into my touch.Pulling back just enough to see his face, I flip him over in one motion, pinning him beneath me.His laughter fades into something darker, something teasing. “Wait—so when you said you were fucking me, you actually meant it?”Smirking, I grip his chin, t

Kade POVA sudden knock at the door jolts through the air.I still for half a second, but Rook only groans against my mouth, his fingers gripping tighter like he has no intention of stopping. My hips press harder, chasing that heat between us again, and the knocking grows more insistent.“Mr. Mercer, a neighbor confirmed they saw you entering.” A voice calls from beyond the door.Gritting my teeth, I ignore it, gripping Rook’s hips as I thrust forward. He moans into my mouth, his body quaking beneath mine.“Mr. Mercer!”Frustration boils over as I let out a growl, slowing just enough to catch my breath before pulling away. “Don’t fucking move,” I mutter, pushing myself off the bed.Rook chuckles under his breath, rolling onto his back, completely unbothered. “I’m just curious how many times they have come here while you were at mine,” he smirks, stretching out lazily like we weren’t just interrupted.I yank on a pair of joggers, swiping a hand through my hair before stalking toward th

Kade POVI’m fucking lost.Since we left my apartment, I’ve barely said a word. The papers are out of my hands, Rook made sure of that, but it doesn’t matter. The words are still there, burned into my mind, screaming at me every time I close my eyes.I need to go home. I need to talk to her, figure out what the hell is going on, but I can already hear Rook telling me it’s a bad idea.A nudge pulls me from my thoughts. I glance over, meeting his gaze.“Stop worrying,” he says, voice softer than usual. “Get inside, speak with my dad.” He presses a quick kiss to my lips before getting out of the car. I follow, feeling heavier with every step.Rook walks straight to his dad, handing over the papers before scooping Harlow into his arms.Nikolai barely glances at the first page before motioning toward a chair. “Okay, sit. Let’s look at this.”I drop into the seat, rubbing a hand over my face as Nikolai nods toward one of his men. “Aiden, get him a whiskey.”A glass is poured and set in fron

Kade POVI sent her everything, more than I even kept for myself. Every time she asked, every time she made me feel like it was my responsibility, I just sent the money and didn’t think twice. And now? Now she wants even more?Running a hand through my hair, I exhale through my nose. “She doesn’t even need it. She’s got three fucking jobs.”“She doesn’t care,” Nikolai replies easily, closing the laptop. “It’s not about need, Mercer. It’s about greed. She sees your bank account and thinks she deserves a cut, whether she’s already taken her fill or not.”Rook scoffs, shaking his head. “She’s already taken more than a cut. What the fuck has she even done with it? Because from what I remember, she’s still living in the same trailer park.”My stomach twists. “She told me she was paying off debt. That she was saving up, but the girls needed things.”Nikolai laughs, low and unimpressed. “She was lying.”I blink at him, my hands clenching into fists. “How do you know?”He leans forward, resti

Rook POVI don’t want to be here. Hell, I don’t even want to be near her. But I don’t have a choice. There’s no way in hell I’m leaving Kade alone to face her.We’ve been parked outside for at least ten minutes, and he still hasn’t moved.“Come on, get your shit,” I say, pushing my door open and stepping out. I don’t bother looking back. I know he’ll follow. He always does.Sure enough, I hear him rushing to catch up, his footsteps quick behind mine.As we reach the trailer, the door swings open, and there she is. His mother.Kade doesn’t hesitate. “I need to grab the rest of my things.”She moves aside without a word. I was expecting her to argue, maybe demand an explanation, but she doesn’t. He steps inside, and I follow, shutting the door behind us.Inside his small room, he grabs a duffle bag and starts packing. He’s quiet, though. Too quiet.I lean against the doorframe, watching him. “What’s going on in that head of yours?”“I need to ask her why,” Kade mutters, still focused on

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
Pucking Forbidden Claim Trying
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.
Pucking Forbidden Claim Gone
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
