Dante POV

The moment Luna walks in, my heart nearly stops. Holy shit. My eyes widen, almost popping out of my head as I take in the sight of her. She’s wearing a red bodycon dress that clings to every curve, her entire presence electrifying the room.

Sasha smirks, clearly pleased with the reaction. “We did a makeover on her,” she says before leaving us alone.

Luna walks over to Justin, looking absolutely stunning, but he barely notices. He’s glued to his phone, his attention elsewhere.

I pull out my phone and shoot him a text.

Fucking look at her.

He glances up for a second, offers her a small, distracted smile, mutters something under his breath, and then goes right back to his phone. Asshole.

“The plan?” Callum asks, snapping me out of my thoughts. “You stopped explaining it.”

I had stopped, mostly because I wanted Luna to hear it. She needs to understand exactly what we’re dealing with. “Have some of our guys drive around each night,” I continue, “keeping an eye out for anything su

    Dante POVSighing, I nod at her.“It’s the safest option for you right now,” I reply firmly. “Until we know how you handle being around men in this environment, that’s where you’ll stay. When you’re ready for more, we can talk about other roles. But for now, it’s that or nothing.”Ella hesitates, clearly torn, but she doesn’t have many options.I look at Ella. “We also have an apartment complex for the women who work here,” I continue. “You can have one of the apartments rent-free until you get back on your feet. Some of my crew stays there too, keeping an eye on things and making sure the women are safe.”I grab my phone and shoot a message to Sasha.Ella’s face softens slightly, and she gives me a small smile. “Thank you.”“Sasha will explain everything to you,” I say. “As a dancer, you’ll get a set pay plus tips. I know you were hoping for one of the positions where you set your own fee, but that’s not happening until you’ve had some space and time away from your current situation.

    Luna’s POVI refuse to get out of the car, instead sitting there, stewing in my thoughts. That is, until a woman knocks on the window and gives me a friendly smile. I roll down the window, and she looks at me with curiosity.“I’m Sasha,” she says, her tone upbeat. “Why are you sitting in the car, gorgeous?” She holds out her hand.I shake it, a little confused but trying to match her energy. “Luna. I’m waiting for Justin,” I reply, and she nods as if this is something she’s heard a hundred times before.“Ah, men, right?” she says with a laugh. “They say two minutes, and an hour later you’re still waiting.” Her humor catches me off guard, and I can’t help but chuckle.“Believe me, I’m used to waiting for him,” I mutter, and her head tilts as if she’s reading more into my words. “Forget it,” I say quickly, not really wanting to dive into my personal problems.“No, there’s no forgetting it,” she insists gently. “I recognize that look. Come on, how about a coffee?” Her smile is warm and i

    Luna POVI let them do my hair and makeup, all while I talk more about my stalker, mostly because Lilly is absolutely fascinated by him. She listens intently as I share details about the gifts he’s left and the unsettling attention he gives me. But I can’t help but feel a strange relief, like these women understand me without judgment.Once I’m ready, Sasha leads me to Dante’s office. As I step inside, I feel his eyes on me instantly. His gaze is intense, and for some reason, it makes me want to smile—he actually noticed. It feels... different. I walk toward Justin, and he barely glances up from his phone. He gives me a brief look, then goes right back to scrolling.A moment later, he sighs and faces me. “You look stunning,” he says, kissing my cheek absentmindedly, but there’s no sincerity. He hasn’t even really looked at me.Sighing, I sit and try to listen to Dante talking, though my thoughts are spinning. Everything Dante says feels like it contradicts the reality of what’s around

    Luna’s POVAfter showering, I wrap a towel around my body and step out of the bathroom. He’s there, lying on my bed, casually playing with little Bear. The sight is both oddly sweet and unsettling—it’s as if two sides of him exist at once, the caring side and the one that terrifies me.“Is there a timeframe for when you’re finally going to reveal yourself to me?” I ask, walking over to the small chair at my dressing table.“Maybe,” he replies quietly, and I can’t help but sigh.“Maybe, as in you’re not going to tell me when?” I press, growing frustrated, but he only chuckles.“Exactly, little deer.”I don’t understand the delay. He’s spending so much time with me, invading every corner of my life. Why keep hiding? “Why won’t you show yourself? Are you scared I’ll be turned off by your looks? Do you have a scar or something?” I ask, hoping for an answer that makes sense.He moves from the bed and walks behind me, standing close enough that I can feel his presence. “It’s complicated,” h

    Luna POVPanic surges through me. No, no, no. My foot presses harder into his chest, but it’s not enough. He lets out a groan, the sound almost primal, before his hand slams against my foot, knocking it aside like it’s nothing.In an instant, his hand is over my eyes, blinding me, and I hear the sound of him shifting. My heart races, my breathing ragged as I struggle to anticipate his next move. The next thing I feel is the sharp sting of his finger pushing into my mouth, the metallic taste of blood coating my tongue."You made me bleed little deer, how do I taste?" He growls.The taste is bitter, but it fuels something inside me. Without thinking, I bite down—hard. His finger jerks out of my mouth, and I hear him hiss in pain, his breath sharp and angry. For a moment, there’s a flicker of satisfaction in me, but it’s short-lived.“You like causing pain?” he growls, his voice lower now, more dangerous. There’s an edge to it that wasn’t there before. “You’ll learn not to test me, littl

    Dante POVI drive back to my club, shutting out the noise around me. I don’t have time to talk to anyone. Tonight, everything changes, and I need to be ready. The moment I step into my room, I strip down and get into the shower, letting the hot water scald my skin. I scrub off the sweat, the blood, the tension. My mind’s already on her—Luna.It’s time to stop hiding behind the mask, behind this game. I want her to know it’s me. I want to fuck her without the barrier of who she thinks I am versus who I really am. I’ve played the role of her stalker long enough. Now, she’ll know who’s been in control this whole time.After I finish, I dress quickly, the night already closing in. I head downstairs, scanning the crowd but not stopping for anyone. There’s only one person I need to talk to before the night unfolds. I find Sasha and pull her into the office.

    Dante POVLucy’s left alone as Luna is wrapped up with Justin. She heads to the bar, and I follow.“Lucy,” I greet her, flashing a smile. She turns, her eyes lighting up for a second as she returns my smile.“Hi, Dante.”“I need your help with something,” I lean against the bar, trying to keep my tone light.“Me? Why me?” she asks, curiosity dancing in her eyes.Luna will trust Lucy over anyone else. She won’t listen to me or anyone from my circle. “Because I need you to talk to Luna. Help her realize I don’t exploit and sell women.”Lucy lets out a laugh, shaking her head. “That’s not going to happen. Luna isn’t the type to change her opinion easily, Dante.”She’s right. I’ve been banging my head against that wall for a year now, and she hasn’t budged. But there’s more to it than just stubbornness.“Why do you care?” Lucy asks, her tone softening slightly.“Because nights like tonight are awkward. It’d be easier if I didn’t have her hating me.

She just wants to feel wanted, and he can’t even give her that.He brings up the texts she sends, calling them inappropriate, and I laugh. It’s far from inappropriate. She’s trying to make him feel wanted, trying to bridge the gap he’s created.Eventually, he falls asleep, slumping back in the chair. I pick him up and carry him to the bed, laying him down next to her. I hear the bed creak slightly as she shifts, her energy drained from another night of disappointment.I turn to leave, but then I see little Bear, our little puppy, walking around my feet.I curse under my breath. If I hadn’t told Justin to come here, Luna would have been alone. Now, I’m stuck again, hiding in the shadows, when all I want is to be with her. I’m done waiting.

    Serena POVWe sit for a few more minutes, and slowly, the tension begins to bleed from my body. I feel like myself again—or at least the version of me that’s manageable. My muscles unclench, and the static in my head fades. A smile tugs at my lips as I climb onto his lap, curling against him.“Your drinks,” the waiter interrupts with a polite smile, placing them on the table.I reach for my bag, ready to grab some cash for a tip, but when I open it, there’s nothing. My hand freezes.“I…” My fingers scramble through the bag, but it’s empty. Rubbing my head, I try to think. Where did I put the money?“Everything okay?” His voice is soft, but his lips press against mine quickly, a fleeting kiss that feels more like a distraction than affection.“I’ve lost the money,” I whisper, my voice trembling with frustration.“Did he pay you?”“He always pays, Dale.” I frown, trying to pull the memory from the fog in my brain. “I remember him giving it to me… maybe I dropped it outside?”Dale leans

    SerenaMy body sinks into the car seat, my arms heavy and my head swimming in a fog. I can feel his eyes on me—watching me, dissecting every movement. I try to force a smile, but even that feels like too much effort.“Pixie Doll,” his voice is low, rough, and the nickname he uses makes my skin crawl tonight for some reason. His fingers grip my chin, firm enough to hold me in place but not enough to hurt. He tilts my face toward him, and I catch the flicker of something behind his eyes—concern?“You good?” he asks, his voice soft but probing, and I nod quickly, even though my body feels like it’s trembling from the inside out.“Perfect,” I lie, my voice barely above a whisper. My mind, however, is screaming. It’s clawing at the edges of something—something I can’t quite grasp. He’s planning something. I can feel it.“Are you sure? You look a little high right now. You think you can ride safely?” His tone shifts, but I'm not sure it's worry, and I hate the way he looks at me—like I’m fr

I doubt this file lays it all out, no secrets, no matter how small,” I say, leaning forward, my eyes locked on him.William exhales heavily, leaning back in his chair, his gaze sharp and assessing. “She was supposed to make you aware of all this, but she never did,” he says, his voice low and clipped.I stiffen. Of course, she didn’t. She couldn’t. I ran before she had the chance. I nod, motioning for him to continue, though the knot forming in my chest tightens with every second of silence.“She was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, Jace,” he says, his words deliberate, each syllable dropping like a stone. “She came to tell you one night, around the time everything between you two went crazy. She came back after seeing you and said you didn’t care, so she didn’t bother telling you.”I feel the air leave my lungs in one sharp exhale. Didn’t care? That’s a lie. It has to be. Had she told me, I would’ve cared. I would’ve done something—anyth

I’ve been here a goddamn month, holed up, barricading myself behind work and excuses. I haven’t reached out. Hell, I haven’t even stepped into her orbit. Instead, I sit here, combing through this damn file over and over, as if it’s going to tell me something I don’t already know.The truth? I’m fucking terrified.Serena. Just the name is enough to tighten my chest. A walking nightmare with a smile that could burn the whole world down. When Dante asked me to help run this location with Rich, I had one condition—I wasn’t sure about Serena. I told him straight up. She’s a loose cannon, the kind that could unravel years of work with a single reckless move. But here I am anyway, stuck in this office, tethered to her name like a goddamn noose.The knock on the door makes me flinch. Rich steps in, wearing his

And I mean it—I absolutely would. “I’m going to get home,” Luna says, lifting Elouise into her arms. She gives me a warm smile before heading out, the door clicking softly behind her.I turn my attention to Zade, scooping him up with a playful smile. “Alright, little man, time to get you ready for bed,” I say, carrying him to the changing table.“Why is it always me?” Callum’s voice comes from behind me, dripping with mock frustration.I glance over my shoulder to see him leaning against the doorframe, a weary expression on his face. Laughing softly, I reply, “You’re clearly his favorite. Isn’t that right, Zade?” I tickle Zade’s tummy, and he lets out a giggle.Callum groans, running a hand through his hair. “Yeah, I’m his favorite target. The vomit earlier proved that.”Smirking, I focus on getting Zade changed. “Whe

He pauses near Elouise, sitting up and grabbing one of her small toys before shaking it frantically, giggling as the sound fills the air. Watching him like this—so carefree, so full of life—brings a bittersweet warmth to my chest.It’s days like today that I can’t help but reflect on how much has changed in the last sixteen months since my scan. Everything feels like it’s shifted, like our lives have been rewritten in the best ways.Zade’s arrival wasn’t exactly by the book. He came two weeks early, catching us all completely off guard. Dante and Luna had gone for one of her routine checkups, Callum was at the clubs, and I had convinced myself there was still plenty of time.I was wrong.One moment, everything was calm—quiet, even—and the next, I was gripping the phone, sobbing into the receiver as I called Callum, barely able to get the words out between

Just like we’ve done here.”Dante isn’t one to take things lightly, and this is no exception. As much as I want to argue about the risks, part of me knows he’s right. The work doesn’t stop—it just shifts to where it’s needed most.“Well...” I start, but the words die on my tongue. I’m completely at a loss. Everything Dante’s telling me feels like it’s spiraling into some crazy scenario, and I can’t find a foothold to ground myself.Dante smirks, clearly enjoying my confusion. “Not only do the local police back it and agree to turn a blind eye to the more... questionable aspects of our operations, but the local MP is onboard too. Apparently, his daughter is causing some chaos. She works on the streets, proving to Daddy she’s not his little princess anymore.”He dr

She’s half-asleep, clinging to me as though letting go would pull her from the warmth of the moment.As I step into the apartment, the quietness settles around us, broken only by the soft rustle of her breathing. I push the door to our bedroom open, slipping inside. Gently, I shrug off my robe and remove hers, ensuring she stays warm as I lay her down on the bed and cover her.Sliding in beside her, I feel her instinctively shift closer, her body curling into mine like it’s the most natural thing in the world.
