Taking Control

Rook POV

His lips part, and I don’t give him the chance to answer before I crash my mouth against his, taking everything, making sure he knows exactly who he belongs to.

Kade responds quickly, his body arching up against mine as he meets my kiss with a fierce hunger of his own. His wrists strain against my grip, not to break free, but to feel the strength of my hold.

I break away, trailing biting kisses down his jaw and neck. “You’re a fucking tease, you know that?” I growl against his skin.

He lets out a breathy laugh. “Maybe I just like reminding you what’s yours.”

I lift my head to meet his gaze, seeing the challenge there, the fire that matches my own. “As if I could ever forget.”

My hand slides down his body, possessive and demanding. Kade’s breath hitches, his eyes darkening with desire.

“Rook,” he breathes, my name a plea on his lips.

I smirk, enjoying the way he’s coming undone beneath me. “What is it? Tell me what you want.”

His hips buck up against mine, seeking friction. “Y

    Kade POVWaking up, I turn over and see Rook still asleep, sprawled out like he doesn’t have a single responsibility in the world.Smirking, I shift onto him, leaning in close, just watching him. He looks peaceful like this, but that’s boring, and it’s about time he wakes up anyway.Gripping his shoulders, I shake him roughly. “Rise and shine.”He groans, swatting at me like I’m some kind of pest, but I don’t move. Instead, I lean down and lick his face, dragging my tongue across his cheek just to be an asshole.His reaction is immediate. His hand clamps over my mouth as his eyes snap open, glaring. “One, did you just lick me? What the fuck are you, a dog?”I grin under his palm, shrugging.“Two,” he continues, voice rough with sleep, “can you never just wake me up like a normal person?”I pry his hand off, smirking. “You’re so grumpy in the morning.”His eyes narrow. “That’s because you wake me up like a psychopath. You know how most people wake their boyfriend up? A blowjob, Kade. A

    Kade POV“You getting up or planning on staying in bed all day?” I ask, smirking.Rook finally moves, sitting up and running a hand through his messy hair, still watching me with that sharp, calculating look. “I should make you pay for that.”“You can try,” I taunt, throwing the sheets off me before climbing out of bed.Rook follows, muttering under his breath about how I have no idea what I’ve just started, but I just chuckle, heading for the bathroom.The hot water is already running by the time he walks in, still watching me like he’s plotting.“You getting in, or are you just gonna stare at me?” I ask, stepping under the stream.Rook grins, shaking his head before stripping off and stepping in beside me. The warm water rains down over both of us, steam filling the space instantly.“See, this is what a proper morning wake-up should look like,” he mutters, dragging a hand through his wet hair.Smirking, I squeeze some soap into my palm. “You suggesting I shower you awake from now on

    Kade POVRook chokes on his coffee, sputtering as he slams the mug down on the counter. “Nope. Absolutely fucking not."I smirk, rocking Harlow slightly. “What? You jealous?”His eyes narrow, his grip tightening around the counter. “First of all, never say that again. Second—” He glares harder, pointing at me. “You just ruined it.”Tilting my head I look at him. “Ruined what?”He gestures wildly, like it’s obvious. “That was my thing. I called you Daddy Mercer to piss you off. It was my joke."I raise an eyebrow, barely holding back my grin. “Yeah? Well, now it’s Harlow’s thing. And mine."He groans loudly, dragging a hand down his face. “You’ve taken all the fun out of it. It’s not funny anymore if you just accept it.”Chuckling, I bounce Harlow a little. “Oh no, Rook, what will you do now that you can’t use Daddy Mercer to taunt me?”He glares. ”Find something worse."I smirk. “Doubt it.”“Watch me,” he mutters, grabbing his coffee and taking a very aggressive sip, his eyes still lo

    Rook POVHarlow rests against my chest, warm and content, her tiny fingers gripping the fabric of my hoodie like she’s claiming me. I shift her slightly, watching as Kade walks away toward my father’s office, his shoulders looser than they’ve been in weeks.I smirk, feeling a little too pleased with myself. Finally, something’s going right. Kade’s not stressing over his mom, not losing his mind over Amelia, and for once, he’s just Kade, no weight on his shoulders, no tension in his jaw.Which means I can finally go back to what’s important.Finding a new way to piss him off.Daddy Mercer is dead, well, not dead, but useless now. The bastard took it and made it his own, which means it’s lost all power. I need something worse. Something he won’t dare embrace the way he did that.I hum to myself, rocking Harlow slightly. Maybe Baby Mercer? No, he’d just shrug it off. Kitten? Nah, he’d flip it back on me. Princess? Now that might get a reaction.“That smirk is terrifying,” Rose’s voice cu

    Rook POVWe head outside, and sure enough, there they are, cameras parked across the street, journalists lingering near the usual places we go, waiting for something new to report.Kade doesn’t react, doesn’t even acknowledge them as he buckles Harlow into the car, but I see the way his shoulders tense slightly.The second we settle into the car, I can still feel it—that heavy, lingering presence of cameras snapping away as we pull off.Kade sits beside me, silent, Harlow still clinging to his hoodie like she owns him. Across from us, Rose is in the passenger seat, her eyes flicking to the mirrors, probably watching the same thing I am.“They’re still following,” she mutters, low enough that only we can hear.“Of course they are,” I reply, leaning back, keeping my voice casual. “As I keep saying. The ‘sister’s kid’ excuse isn’t working anymore. It’s been too long, and soon they will come to their own stories."Kade exhales sharply, running a hand through his hair. “They’ll keep pushin

    Rook POVKade doesn’t speak the entire way to the mall, which is impressive. Usually, he’d at least get a sarcastic comment in, but no, he’s brooding. It makes pushing him even more fun.“So,” I say, stretching slightly, waiting for him to snap. “You picked out our wedding colors yet?”Kade’s head snaps toward me, eyes wide with pure exhaustion. “What?”I shrug. “You know, the big day. Gotta plan ahead, Mercer. Gotta make sure it’s classy but also reflects our personalities. Maybe navy and gold? You know, to honor your hockey? Or something bold, like red and black, real mafia wedding vibes."His face is pure disbelief. “You’re actually insane.”“Yes, Daddy,” I reply smoothly, watching his soul leave his body.His jaw clenches. “Rook.”“Shh,” I pat his thigh. “You’re gonna need to start thinking about this, Mercer. You’re not getting rid of me."Kade groans loudly, rubbing his temples. “Why the fuck did I agree to go out with you today?”“Because you love me,” I smirk, watching the mal

    Rook POVRose, who’s been completely silent until now, clears her throat. “Should I be concerned that people are recording you?”I glance over, spotting a few people not-so-subtly holding up their phones. “Oh, absolutely not,” I grin. “This is exactly what I wanted.”Kade groans. “You are actually the worst person I know.”“You say that,” I hum, steering us toward the food court, “but I know you’re secretly enjoying yourself.”He glares at me, but it’s half-hearted at best, instead of fighting, he lets me lead, which is dangerous.Dragging Kade toward the food court was easy. Keeping him there? That’s the challenge.He’s still sulking, his bright pink hoodie standing out like a damn beacon, and Harlow is gripping the fabric with all the possessiveness of someone who refuses to be put down. Kade keeps adjusting her slightly, like she’s the only thing grounding him right now.The second we step into the food court, I don’t even bother asking what he wants.“I’ll order for us,” I announc

    Kade POVRook is pushing it, and the worst part? He knows it.He’s been doing it all damn day, testing me, waiting for some kind of reaction. But if he thinks he’s going to get me to snap just because he’s been chirping at me non-stop, he’s out of luck. I’ve dealt with worse.He’s sitting across from me now, smug as hell, like he’s proud of himself, chewing obnoxiously slow on his pizza, his eyes flicking to me every so often. He’s waiting for something. Waiting for me to break.I keep my expression flat, lifting my drink and taking a long sip, giving him nothing.He swallows his bite, sitting back and stretching his arms out over the booth like he’s some kind of king. “You know, I think today’s been really productive.”I raise a brow. “Do you?”“Absolutely,” he nods, fingers tapping the table rhythmically. “We got you some fresh new merch. The cameras got plenty of good footage. And most importantly, we really tested your self-restraint.”My jaw tightens just slightly, but I exhale s

    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

    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

    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

    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.

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

    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

    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
