He’s not just sitting in on meetings, taking notes, he actively helps my father. More than I do these days.
“You know no one can replace you, right?” my father says, watching me carefully.
“That’s not the issue. I’m not jealous or worried.”
“Then what?”
I exhale, glancing back at Kade, who’s laughing at something one of the guys said. “I don’t know. He seems so at ease with hurting people, with making sure people follow the rules. Like it doesn’t affect him. Six months ago, he would have run from all this.”
My father watches me for a moment, then follows my gaze toward Kade. “You’re overthinking it,” he finally says.
“Am I?” I mutter, still studying Kade as he leans against the table, relaxed, like he belongs there.
My father sips his drink. “Yes. He’s adapted because he wanted to. You’re

Pucking Forbidden Claim Just Us
Kade POVI know exactly what this place is. How could I not?It’s hard to forget that first day, the first time we faced off as rivals instead of just two guys gunning for the same future. Sure, back in training, we went at each other, pushing limits, testing skills. But at the end of the day, there was always the chance we’d end up on the same team, so it never went too far.Then we got signed. Separate teams. And our first pro game? Against each other.It was chaos. Fast, brutal, everything it was supposed to be. Neither of us held back. We fought, full-blown, gloves-off, refs-pulling-us-apart kind of fight. Five minutes in the box, bruises forming before the game even finished. But that was it. That was the moment that set the course for everything.Always at each other. Always pushing. Always fighting.And the crazy bastard loved it.They say kids pick on the ones they like, that boys push girls around

Kade POV“I’m never letting you go,” he says, the teasing moment gone, replaced by something heavier, something real. “You know that, right?”I nod, tugging him closer, brushing my lips against his. “Good. Because you’re stuck with me now, forever.”His grip tightens around me as he grins. “Forever, huh? Bold claim. I don’t know, Mercer, that’s a long-ass time.”I smirk, running my fingers along the nape of his neck. “Too late, you already signed the papers.”“Shit. Should’ve read the fine print.” His laugh is warm against my skin before he presses his forehead to mine. “So,” he murmurs, tilting his head. “Was that worth waiting for?”A quiet chuckle escapes me as I press a lazy kiss to his shoulder. “Definitely. Though I wouldn’t have minded if we’d gotten here sooner.”He groans dramat

Rook POVI wake to Kade muttering, his voice tense. Day one, and I haven’t even got my eyes open before he’s already stomping around the damn hotel room like the world’s about to end.Sitting up, I blink at him as he holds my phone to his ear.“What the fuck?” My voice is rough from sleep, and he barely spares me a glance before tossing his phone at me.“Check it,” he mutters, still focused on his call.Not a great start to the morning. With a sigh, I rub my face and glance at the screen. My body locks up instantly.My head snaps to the side, eyes narrowing at him. “Got it already,” Kade snaps at me, holding up a camera I hadn’t even noticed he was gripping. Then he goes back to talking like this is a normal fucking morning.“Hello?” I shout at him. “Why the fuck wouldn’t you wake me and let me know?” I snap, gripping his phone tightly.“You were asleep, didn’t want to wake you.” His tone is too casual for the shit I’m seeing.I hold out my hand. “Give me the phone. Let me talk to my

Rook POVHe’s serious. He really isn’t phased by this. If anything, he’s more annoyed that I’m pressing the issue than the fact the whole world thinks they know what happens between us.Shaking my head, I release him and sit back on his lap, letting my hands drop to his chest. “Unbelievable,” I mutter. “All this time I thought I was the reckless one.”Kade smirks, rubbing his hands over my thighs. “You are the reckless one. I just don’t see the point in flipping over something I can’t change.”I huff, rolling my eyes. “Right. You can’t change it. But you sure as hell can make sure it never happens again.”He leans back, stretching his arms behind his head. “Already handled. Your father’s men are on it. Whoever put the cameras there is already regretting it, trust me.”That makes me feel slightly better. But only slightly. I still don’t like that someone thought they could invade our space like that. Our wedding night. It doesn’t matter that Kade’s indifferent about the pictures. That’

Rook POVI want to tell him to stop, to walk away, to never get further involved in this life. But I can’t. It’s his choice. And the fact that he’d drop it for me? That’s a dangerous kind of devotion.“Now I feel like an asshole for asking,” I mutter.“Do you want me to?” he asks again, searching my face.“No,” I admit, shaking my head. “I just wanted to know if you would.”Kade watches me for a beat, then lifts a brow. “Let me ask you this, Rook, if I asked you not to take over for your father when it’s time, would you refuse?”I scoff immediately. “What kind of dumb fucking question is that? If you told me not to, I wouldn’t.”“Oh, so when I ask, it’s a dumb question, but not when you ask?” He tilts his head, stepping closer, backing me up against the cool tile.I shrug. “Well, I am obsessed with you, so yeah, clearly it’s dumb of you to ask. You should know by now I’d do anything you fucking asked.”His smirk returns, slow and dangerous. “Is that so?”I nod, but something about the

Kade POVStepping into the house, my eyes immediately find Harlow. She’s sitting on the floor with Rose, surrounded by toys, her little hands grasping at them in fascination. I walk over and lower myself onto the floor beside them, scooping her into my arms.“How was she?” I ask, brushing my fingers over her warm cheeks. They’re flushed, a sign she’s been teething.“Fussy, but not too bad. She’s been settled for a few hours now,” Rose says, offering me a small smile.I glance around, noticing the quiet. “Where are Amelia and Louise?”“Nikolai had someone drive Louise home. She has school in the morning. Amelia went to the apartment to get settled in, she wasn’t comfortable around Harlow.”I nod, absorbing that. It’s my fault. I got caught up with Rook, lost track of time, and spent the entire day at the hotel. I should’ve been here, should’ve seen them off, but I let myself get too distracted.Rose watches me for a moment before offering, “I can get her ready for bed if you want?”I s

Rook POVThe warehouse smells like sweat and blood, the thick scent clinging to the air as I step into the center of the makeshift training ring. The men stand in a loose circle, shifting on their feet, their faces a mix of eagerness and nerves. They’re new, fresh recruits who think a few street fights and a decent right hook make them ready for this life. They don’t know shit.I roll my shoulders, flexing my fingers as I let my gaze sweep over them. “You think you know how to fight,” I say, my voice cutting through the quiet. “But what you’ve done before now? It’s not enough. A soldier doesn’t fight to win a round, he fights to put his opponent down. Fast. Clean. No hesitation.”A few of them nod like they understand, but they don’t. Not yet. They will soon.I step back and jerk my chin at one of them, a broad guy with a cocky smirk and the stance of someone who relies on his size more than his skill. “You. In the ring.”He steps forward, rolling his shoulders like this is a warm-up

Kade POVThe morning light filters through the curtains, casting a soft glow over the room. Rook is still asleep, his breathing slow and steady, his arm draped loosely over my waist. Harlow is nestled between us, curled up against his chest, her tiny fingers gripping onto his shirt even in sleep.Standing I watch them for a moment, taking it in.Today is Rook’s birthday.I don’t know if he cares about it, I don’t even know if he’s the kind of person who celebrates, but I do. And for the first time in a long time, I want to make sure he knows that he’s important, that he’s more than just the man people fear or the player his teammates depend on.He’s mine. And he’s Harlow’s.Moving, I carefully slip out of bed, making sure not to wake either of them, and head downstairs to the kitchen. I’m not exactly a chef, but I know enough to make something decent. Pancakes. Bacon. Coffee. Simple, but something just for him.By the time I’m carrying the tray back upstairs, I hear Harlow’s little no

Pucking Forbidden Claim Space
Rook POVKade hasn’t moved much since he finally let himself collapse into me. He’s still pressed against my side, his head resting against my shoulder, his breathing is slower now, but there’s still something off. He’s not asleep, but he’s not really here either. He’s stuck somewhere in his own fucking head, lost in thoughts I can’t pull him out of, so I just sit here with him, my arm around him, my hand rubbing slow, steady circles on his back.I don’t rush him, I don’t tell him to get up, get over it, and move on.I just wait, because for once, he’s not trying to pretend.The car slows, the subtle shift in movement telling me we’ve arrived at the airstrip. I glance out the window and see the jet waiting, the engines already running, ready to take us the fuck away from here.Damon is standing by the car before we even get out, his face unreadable as he opens the door. “Rose t
Pucking Forbidden Claim Him Crashing
Rook POVI don’t think I’ve ever seen Kade like this, not once.Not when he came home hurt from that fight my dad forced him into, not when things with work went to shit, not even when he was exhausted and running on nothing but adrenaline. He always had control, always held himself together, always showed only what he wanted people to see.Kade doesn’t break. He gets angry, he gets cocky, he gets jealous, but he never lets himself be sad. He’s never cried, not in the five years I’ve been married to him. Not even once. I can't remember a time before that when he has either.Now, he’s falling apart in my arms, his body shaking, his is breathing ragged, as his hands grip at my shirt like he doesn’t know how to let go.I hold him tighter, keeping him pressed against me, my fingers still buried in his hair. He fought me at first, tried to pull away, tried to convince himself he didn’t deserve this, but I
Pucking Forbidden Claim Falling Hard
Kade POVI can’t stop shaking. My whole fucking body feels wrong, like my skin is too tight. I feel like I’m trapped inside something I can’t break out of and my hands keep flexing and curling into fists because I don’t know what the fuck else to do with them.Rook is still holding onto me, still looking at me like I’m worth something, and I don’t fucking understand it.“I’ve fucked up everything,” I whisper, my voice hoarse.Rook exhales, his grip on my jaw loosening slightly, his fingers brushing against my skin. “Kade—”“No,” I cut him off, shaking my head. “I have. I fucking have, Rook. You sat there and told me you thought I’d change after we got married. That you thought I’d let you in. I didn’t, instead I spent five years treating this like it wasn’t real, like if I let myself believe I had you, it would mean I’d lose you.”Rook doesn’t say anything, doesn’t interrupt, he just watches as I fall apart in front of him.“I wasn’t
Pucking Forbidden Claim Losing Control
Kade POVRook is staring at me, and I’m not sure why. “You knew?” I ask.“Yeah, don’t shout I fucking forgot because of everything.”I’m not about to shout. It’s not his fault, I wasn’t there so he couldn’t tell me.“I’m not about to shout, I just don’t get why you let her stay.”Turning, he faces me more. “I wasn’t going to, but everyone looked at me like I was heartless. She’s dying Kade, and had I sent her away without you knowing it wouldn’t have gone down well.”I nod and look out of the window. How have I fucked up so much? When did it get to a point where if I make a move on him, it’s something calculated and meaning more is happening?When did things turn to shit? I push to figure it out and I hate it because the more I focus, the more I realise I’ve pushed Rook out for years, it began
Pucking Forbidden Claim His Mom
Rook POV“I don’t know how to commit,” he mutters, voice rough like the words are cutting him on the way out.I don’t say anything. I just wait.He swallows hard, shaking his head slightly. “I love you. I want to be married to you. But I don’t know how to just be. I don’t know how to exist without the weight of knowing things can fall apart at any second.”His breathing is uneven now, but he pushes forward, like he’s ripping open something inside himself that he’s never touched before. “I don’t know how to stop waiting for the worst to happen. I don’t know how to sit still, how to let things be good, because every time I do, every time I think I have something that’s mine, something that’s safe, it’s taken from me.”His voice lowers, his fingers curling against his palms. “I had nothing growing up, Rook. And every time I thought I was getting
Pucking Forbidden Claim His Attempt
Rook POVThe bed shifts, and I blink awake, my vision blurring as I adjust to the dim light. The first thing I see is Kade hovering over me, his mouth tilted into a small smirk.I reach for my phone to check the time, but before I can grab it, he stops me, pressing his lips to mine.“Kade.” The word is muffled against his mouth, but he doesn’t let up.“Shut the fuck up, Rook,” he growls, his grip tightening as he kisses me harder.I let out a breathy laugh, my hands bracing against his chest. “You’re telling me what to do?” Since when does he? His fingers slide into my hair, gripping tight as he pulls my head back, deepening the kiss.“Yes, I am.” His body presses down over mine, pinning me beneath him, his lips hungry, his touch rougher than usual.This isn’t him. “Kade, what are you doing?” I push him back, and he stares down at me, his expression unreadable.“Don’t do that,” I mutter. “Don’t start doing shit
Pucking Forbidden Claim Playing His Game
Rook POVWhen I wake it’s nearly midday. Kade is still asleep, so maybe it’s time to get payback for last nights shit.He looks peaceful. Too peaceful. I smirk, remembering last night. The way he tried, the way he pushed, and the way he immediately passed out the second I left him alone. He wanted to mess with me? Fine. I’ll get him back.Slowly, I ease out from under his arm, careful not to wake him. He doesn’t stir, lost in whatever drunken dreams he’s having.This is almost too easy. I grip his hips and flip him onto his stomach, his body barely reacting. He groans softly, face still buried in the pillow, but he doesn’t wake.Smirking, I grab his wrists and pull them above his head, using the handcuffs to secure them against the headboard.Now, for the best part. Biting back a laugh, I slide off the bed and head into the bathroom. Grabbing the small bucket from under the sink, I turn on the cold tap, le
Pucking Forbidden Claim Unsure
Kade POVI glance at Rook. His arms are still crossed, his expression unreadable, but I know him. He’s watching, waiting, trying to figure out where the hell I’m taking him.When the car stops, I step out first, breathing in the cool night air. The spot isn’t anything special on the surface, an old, unfinished building with exposed concrete and an open rooftop that overlooks the entire city. No one comes up here, no one even thinks about it, which is why I keep it for myself.Rook steps out after me, his eyes scanning the place before landing on me. “Where the hell are we?”I motion toward the ledge. “Come see.”He hesitates before walking toward it, hands sliding into his pockets as he takes in the view. His posture shifts slightly, just enough for me to notice.I step up beside him, setting a bottle of whiskey down on the ledge before leaning against it. “I found this place a while back,&rdqu
Pucking Forbidden Claim Trying Hard
Kade’s POVRook stands here, his hands clenched at his sides, his whole body radiating with frustration. I know him well enough to see the way his anger isn’t just about today. It’s about everything that came before it, about every time I put business first without meaning to, about the way I always assume he will be there no matter how much shit I pile on top of him.I want to tell him I didn’t mean to forget. That it wasn’t on purpose, that today spiraled into something bigger than I expected. But none of that matters because the fact remains the same. I still forgot.I step closer, but he doesn’t move, doesn’t react. He just stares at me, his jaw tight, waiting for something.“Tell me how to fix it,” I say, my voice lower now.He scoffs. “You can’t.”“I can if you let me,” I push, watching for any sign that I can still salvage this.“You shoul
