Callum POV

When I reach the hotel, I lay her gently on the bed, her soft breaths hitching only slightly as I strip away her clothes and tuck her beneath the covers. I can’t stop myself from brushing her hair back, my fingers lingering on her face as I take her in. She looks so small, so vulnerable, and it’s my fault. I should have known better.

Stripping off my own clothes, I climb into bed beside her. My arms wrap around her instinctively, pulling her close as I bury my face in her hair. Sleep evades me entirely, my thoughts running in relentless circles. I can’t stop replaying the events of the night. I ruined it. I let my own arrogance and recklessness hurt her.

 Tonight was my fault. How the fuck didn’t I think? I found her in that alley, vulnerable and exposed—I should’ve known better. I should’ve stopped it before it began.

This is on me, every single part of it. Nothing I do can erase what happened tonig

    Callum POV“Look,” I start, my voice hard. “You’re not going to tell them. If you do, you’ll have nothing left to hold over me. So, what’s your aim here? What the hell do you want?”She spins around, her arms folded tightly across her chest, her expression venomous. “How was your date with Lilly?” she snaps, her tone dripping with mockery.I freeze. “What?” My voice is low, a warning. Is she out of her damn mind?“Oh, come on, Callum. You vanish, and I’m supposed to believe it wasn’t to go running back to her? Did you two have fun?” Her words are laced with venom, her smirk daring me to react.“You don’t know where I was or what I was doing,” I growl, my patience fraying fast. “Answer me—what is your aim? Because you’re not going to tell them about Lilly.”Her laugh is sharp, cutting. “No? Am I not?” S

    Lilly’s POVThe rain drums softly against the window, a steady rhythm that does little to calm the storm brewing inside me. I stare at my reflection, watching the raindrops race down the glass. Everything feels off. The apartment is too quiet, too still, and the absence of Callum’s presence makes the silence deafening.I tug my cardigan tighter around me, trying to fight the chill that creeps through my body. It’s not just the cold. It’s everything—the weight of the past few days, the lingering fear, the confusion swirling in my mind.Callum.I can’t stop thinking about him. The way his eyes darken when he’s angry, the way he’s always there, steady and strong, even when I’m spiraling. But there’s something else, too—something that’s been eating away at me for days. His distance. The way he shuts down whenever I try to talk about anything serious. And I know I should confront him, but

    Lilly POVI rush down to the changing rooms, my body on autopilot. The other women and men are laughing and talking, their voices a distant hum in my ears. I fix my makeup, force a smile, and push everything down. I’ve been strong before. I can be strong now.“Lilly,” Jane calls from the door, snapping me back to reality. “Mr. Emerson said he’ll be another fifteen minutes.”I nod, trying to steady my breathing. Good. Fifteen minutes to compose myself, to push down the hurt and betrayal clawing at my insides. I need to get through this night. I need to be professional, even if everything inside me is screaming.When the fifteen minutes pass, I step out of the room, my mind blank as I approach the door. I try to prepare myself for another session with Mr. Emerson, the regular who always looks forward to our time together. But something feels off.I light the candles, trying to create the familiar ambiance. “Mr.

    Callum POVI watch her as Luna runs out of the room to go to work, when in fact, it's to avoid me. Every ounce of frustration and guilt weighing down on me like a ton of bricks. Everything feels like it’s crumbling. I’m doing everything I can to protect her, to keep her past buried where it belongs, but it’s like every decision I make is pulling us further apart.Sighing, I head down to the office. Dante looks up at me as soon as I step in.“She knows?” he asks, his voice low and direct.I nod, slumping into a chair. “Not everything, just that I was with Sasha,” I admit, my voice barely audible. “But it’s enough. I’m going to lose her, aren’t I? Either to her past, or because she’ll hate me for what I’ve done.” Every damn decision I’ve made is pushing us closer to the edge.“I told you to give her a choice, Callum,” Dante says, his tone stern but n

If you want to let him go so you can hunt him down and kill him later, fine. But you can’t kill him yet. Not until we get what we need.”My chest heaves, my breathing ragged as I stare down at the bleeding, gasping mess in front of me. He’s right. I need answers.We drag Andrew to a chair, tying him down with thick ropes that bite into his wrists and ankles. He’s bleeding from the gash on his face, and his breath comes in ragged gasps, but his eyes are defiant, mocking even. He’s not afraid. Not yet.I pace in front of him, my blood boiling, the weight of the blade in my hand a comfort. He refuses to talk, not a single word slipping from his mouth. His jaw clenched, eyes daring me to make the first move.Da

    Callum POVHe tries to crawl, to escape, and I give him just enough space to think he might make it.“Go ahead,” I say, my voice eerily calm. “Try again.”He starts to crawl toward the door, dragging his broken body across the floor, his movements slow and agonized. I give him a few seconds of false hope, watching as he reaches out, fingers brushing the doorframe. Then I step on his hand, crushing his fingers beneath my boot. He howls in pain, his body convulsing beneath me.“Did you really think I’d let you leave?” I lean down, pressing my knife against his cheek, slicing a thin line just under his eye. His screams are music to my ears, but I’m not done. Not yet.“Again,” I hiss, yanking him up by the collar and throwing him back into the center of the room. His body hits the floor with a sickening thud. “Run.”He tries. God, he fucking tries. But he’s too weak now,

Dante swore to me that as long as I left my old life behind, no one would be able to track me down.But they have.Despite everything I’ve sacrificed—leaving my family, my name, and my past behind—they’ve found me. A part of me clings desperately to the hope that Andrew didn’t tell anyone else where I am. But deep down, I know better. I’ve never been that lucky.Today feels like the worst day of my life. I can’t imagine how it could get any worse.“Lilly, you know Callum won’t let anyone get near you,” Luna says softly, her hand rubbing comforting circles on my back. “Not even Dante would let that happen.”I wipe the tears from my cheeks, my chest aching from the ef

    Jace POVI already know what comes next. The aftermath. What Dale’s dad did to her. But I don’t push. Not yet.Instead, I kneel in front of her, my voice steady. “Keep going, Firefly. Tell me the rest.”Serena’s whole body tenses like a coil wound too tight, her breathing shallow and uneven. Her fingers dig into her arms, nails pressing hard enough that I think she might break the skin.“I don’t—” she starts, but her voice cracks, and she swallows hard before trying again. “I don’t know how long it lasted. Time didn’t feel real anymore.”I stay quiet, my fists clenched at my sides as I watch her struggle to force the words out.“He didn’t stop,” she whispers. “Not after Paul. Not after I was shaking so bad I couldn’t hold the gun anymore. He just kept talking to me like I was some kind of fucking pet. Telling me I did good. That I was a good girl for listening. That he’d make it all feel better.”Her shoulders shake, and I want to stop this. I want to tell her she doesn’t have to say

    Jace POVWhen we get back to the clubs, I take her straight upstairs. That’s when the problem starts. I can already see it in the way she sits down, shifting restlessly, like the energy under her skin won’t settle.“Firefly, I need to work,” I explain, watching her closely.“That’s fine. I can wait for you.”I wish it were that easy. “I need to lock you back in the room.”Her head snaps up, eyes narrowing. “Are you fucking joking, Jace?”“I’m serious. You’re fine now, but that doesn’t mean in ten minutes you will be. So you either go in the room, and I lock you in where you’re safe, or you stay with me all night.”Her arms cross, her glare is sharp and challenging. “You can’t fucking force me.”She believes that? I move before she has the chance to fight back, grabbing her, lifting her as she screams and kicks. Carrying her into the room, I shove her onto the bed and move quickly, slamming the door shut and locking it before she can get back up.“Jace, please.” She pounds on the door,

I made my choice, and I don’t regret being with you.”But I regret the way it happened, I don’t say it out loud, but I know he can feel it.We stay like that for a while, wrapped up in each other, the hum of passing cars and the distant rustling of trees filling the silence between us. I don’t want to pull away, but the weight of everything I’ve just realized presses on my chest, suffocating me.I shift slightly, and he feels it, how tense I’ve become. His hand moves to my chin, tilting my face up so I have no choice but to look at him. His gaze searches mine, and I know he sees it, the guilt eating away at me.“Serena,” he says firmly, his fingers brushing my cheek, “I meant what I said. I don’t regr

    Serena POVThe cold morning air bites against my skin, but I don’t care. Wrapped around Jace’s back, my arms locked tight around his waist, the world finally feels still. The roar of the bike beneath us drowns out everything, my thoughts, my doubts, the itch under my skin that hasn’t left since the withdrawals started. It’s just us, speeding through empty roads, the wind cutting through my hair, the vibration of the engine grounding me in a way nothing else has.I don’t know how long we ride. It could be minutes or hours. Time feels different out here, away from locked doors and heavy expectations. But eventually, Jace slows the bike, pulling off the road near a clearing that overlooks the water. I don’t ask where we are, I don’t need to. It’s quiet, open, and it’s enough.Jace cuts the engine, but I don’t move. My arms stay wrapped around him, my face pressed into his back, breathing him in, soaking in the moment. He shifts slightly, tilting his head toward me.“You getting off, or a

    Jace POVAs the waves of pleasure slowly subside, our bodies remain tangled, our breaths uneven, heavy with the remnants of what we just shared. My fingers trace over her cheek, brushing damp strands of hair from her face, and I shift just enough to look at her. Her lips are parted, her pupils still blown wide, the aftershocks making her shudder beneath me.“How was that?” My voice is quiet, teasing, but laced with something deeper, something I’m not ready to acknowledge.A lazy, satisfied smile spreads across her lips as she blinks up at me, still lost in the haze. “Everything I wanted…” Her voice is soft, drowsy, and she buries her face against my chest, sighing in contentment.I exhale slowly, reaching up to unhook the restraints, my hands careful as I rub gentle circles over her wrists where the cuffs have left faint marks. She doesn’t move much, her body spent, boneless, completely relaxed against me.

  • Stalked By My Boyfriends Best Friend   Giving In To Her

    Jace POVHer hands remain bound behind her, wrists secured in the soft leather restraints as my fingers continue their slow, deliberate exploration of her skin. Every inch of her is hypersensitive, every touch making her shudder beneath me. My lips follow the path my hands create, dragging heat in their wake as I kiss my way down her body, my tongue teasing the delicate curve of her hip. I have no concrete plan, only the intention of pushing her deeper into subspace, giving her mind the escape it craves.I bite down on the soft flesh of her inner thigh, and she gasps, her hips jerking instinctively toward me. The sound is addictive, a quiet plea wrapped in pleasure. Reaching behind her, I unfasten the restraints only to secure them above her head, forcing her arms up and keeping her open for me. Her breath is uneven, her body trembling with anticipation, and when my mouth moves lower, when my tongue strokes over her, she lets out a strangled moan that

I don’t even know what I’m angry at anymore, Dale, his father, Jace, myself. It all blends together in one endless scream inside my head.“Fuck you,” I hiss under my breath, but I don’t even know who I’m saying it to.Jace watches me, silent. He doesn’t try to stop me. He doesn’t try to tell me to slow down. He just lets me burn it off.When my arms shake and my legs feel weak, I finally stop. My breath is ragged, sweat clinging to my skin, and I brace myself against the bag, pressing my forehead to the cool surface.Jace steps closer, his voice quieter now. “Feel better?”I don’t answer right away. My body still feels like it’s running on high voltage, but the energy is different now. The desperation, the unbearable itch, it’s dulled.&l

    Serena POVThe bedroom walls feel like they’re closing in on me, suffocating, even when Jace is there. He’s been letting me out, but only when he’s around, like he doesn’t trust me. Maybe he’s right not to. I don’t even trust myself right now.My skin crawls, my body restless, my thoughts moving too fast for me to catch. One second, I feel like I need to run, to escape, to do something—anything—but then it shifts, and I crash, exhaustion pressing me down like a weight.I hate this. I hate feeling like I’m not in control. It's been a week, I thought by now I would be fine, but I'm not.I pace back and forth across the room, my hands shaking as I rake them through my hair. Jace is sitting in the chair near the door, watching me with that same patient expression he’s had since all of this started. Like he’s waiting for me to snap.“Stop looking at me like that,&rd

When I push open the door, she’s still on the bed, legs crossed, fingers tugging at a loose thread on the blanket.She looks up, her expression unreadable. “Hey,” she murmurs.Stepping inside, I shut the door behind me. “You good?”She shrugs, glancing away. “I guess.”I walk closer, dropping into the chair beside the bed. “You ate?”She nods. “Rich made sure of it.”Of course, he did.Silence stretches between us, thick and weighted, until she finally speaks again. “Why are you here, Jace?”I meet her gaze, holding it steady. “Because I’m not going anywhere.”Standing, I watch her curl into herself, arms wrapped tight around her legs like she’s trying to disappear.
