Get out of the way

last update Last Updated: 2025-01-29 00:02:01

As I entered the study, Viktor looked up from the papers he was reading, his eyes narrowing slightly as he took in my appearance. He knew even before I opened my mouth that I was leaving the house. No one dresses up just to lurk around the house.

“Aithan, you look… refreshed,” he said in his best neutral voice. “Had enough rest?”

I nodded, smiling at him. He didn't sound suspicious, which was a welcome to the tone he used on me when I returned a few hours ago. “Yes, I slept well. Sorry, I forgot about our meeting. I overslept and only recalled it now.”

At least I didn't lie about it. Had I not gone over to tell him I was stepping out, I wouldn't have remembered at all.

Viktor's expression turned sceptical, but he didn't press the issue. He let out a soft sigh as he leaned on his chair and gave me an appraisal once more before picking up some files.

“Very well. Let's get down to business. I've been receiving reports of some… unusual activities in the area. I want you to look into it

  • Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption   What happened?

    ALEXMy soul left my body when I saw him fall. I had been so happy to see him, impatient to show him all I had planned for the date that I didn't even fucking check out the surroundings. I didn't think anyone would make an attempt on his life since no one knew our location. Wrong. I was mistaken about that. Whoever did this must have followed me, carefully staying in the shadows without detection, something that wouldn't have been possible if I wasn't that eager to meet Ly. I would have known someone was tailing me had I not been too focused on the date. It was my bad for not paying attention. I carried Ly up from the ground after making certain we were alone. Whoever shot him must have been confident in their skills. Why else would they disappear after two shots without checking to know if he was dead? I carried him towards my car and gently placed him in the back seat. Just when I was about to rise so I could go over to the driver's side, he called out to me. “Take me home,” he

    “Is there any problem?” The last I checked, there wasn't any reason he would ask me to meet him. I had already told him about the shooting, hadn't I? It wasn't as if I had anything else to talk to him about. Well, unless it was about Aithan. “You will know when you meet him. He asked me to bring you over." “Oh. I see.”I nodded, feeling a sense of uncertainty. What did Viktor want to talk to me about? Could he be suspecting me of harming Aithan? That wasn't possible, right? I wouldn't have brought him back to the house if I was the one who shot him. But you could never tell the heart of another, especially an angry father.“Lead the way then.” I forced a smile at the man, gesturing for him to start walking.“Don't worry, he won't do anything to you with Aithan in the house. That's not his way," the man whispered, his words trying to reassure me I had nothing to fear before he turned and started for the stairs. Choosing to believe those words, I followed him up the stairs and throug

    I didn't know how I left the house. After those words, I didn't get the strength to argue with him. He was right. Aithan would always choose him should it come to that. He had proven countlessly that his loyalty was with Viktor. While I didn't have any issues defying my father for him, Aithan would never do that for me. He loves his father too much to disobey him. He might have agreed to date me secretly, but that didn't mean he wouldn't go back on his promise should Viktor ask him to do that. I walked back to my car with my shoulders hunched. I wasn't giving up; you see. I was just too hung up on the words Viktor said to me. A knock on the window brought my mind back to the present. Frowning, I looked up at the person standing outside my window. It was the same man who had been helping me. The platinum blonde man. His honey-brown eyes stared at me, waiting for me to roll down the window, and I did. “What's wrong? Don't tell me Viktor still had things he wishes to discuss?” I lift

    AITHANI slowly opened my eyes, groggily taking in my surroundings. I was in my bedroom, lying in my bed. But how did I get here? The last thing I recalled was…Pain rushed through my head, making me wince from the onslaught. I tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over me, forcing me back onto the pillows.What the hell happened to me? I thought back to my date with Alex, and then…and then someone shot me. I remembered feeling a searing burn in my arm, and then everything went black. I could only recall fragments of conversation with Alex when I asked him to take me home, despite his reluctance to do that. He wanted to take me to the hospital, but I insisted on going home. As we didn't know who shot me or why they did that, my house was the safest place at that moment. I looked down at my arm, seeing that it was bandaged and wrapped in a sling. They must have shot me there, I thought, trying to piece together the events of the last time I was awake.As I lay there, tryin

    Viktor didn't show up in my room throughout that day. Pink was the one who came to help me with my bath and food. It was from him that I knew how upset Viktor was.“He's furious, isn't he?”“I haven't seen your father as pissed as he was when he asked me to take care of you.” Pink sat on my bed, looking at me with a concerned look. “Are you okay?”“I guess.” I let out a sigh. I wasn't okay. Not with Viktor this angry at me. It made me feel like such a failure…if only I could stop loving Alex. It would be better for us. “How do you stop loving someone?” I asked Pink before I could stop myself. "How can I get my heart to stop beating fast each time I see him?" It would be better if I could return to those days when he felt like a thorn in my side.Pink's expression softened, and he reached out to gently brush a strand of hair out of my face. He held my hand and pressed lightly, his eyes gently smiling with his lips. “I don't think you can." He smiled sadly, his expression distant. “L

    ALEXI wiped the blood on my face as my gaze took in the bodies on the ground. I was exhausted. For two days I had been on the road, tracing the men who hurt my Ly.It wasn't challenging to trace them as the bastard left his ID behind. It went to show how careless they were. With the ID, it wasn't difficult to trace them. I discovered they lived in the state next to ours and left to find them.Their hideouts, just like the info about them, aren't that problematic to find. All I needed was to say the name, and they got pointed out. Looking down at the pile of bodies on the ground, I felt no remorse. The only thing I felt was regret. They died too easily. If only I could have drawn out their death, it would have been better.“Please don't kill me!” the only one I left alive pleaded, raising his hands towards me. “We only did what they sent us to. It was just a job!”I stalked towards him, wiping the blood on my lips. The fear in his eyes as I advanced towards him was enough to make me

    AITHAN “Are you certain about this?” Pink asked for the third time since we left the house. “You can't do anything reckless, and you know that. Your father will only —”“If you didn't want to do this with me, you are free to leave. It's not as if I'm forcing you to go with me.” I would have glared down at him if I wasn't that focused on where we were going. Pink was frustrating me with his endless questions and his unnecessary fear.“I didn't force you to come with me, did I? You did that on your accord.”“Because I care for you, damn it!”Heaving a sigh, I stopped the car, almost sending us out of our seats from how hard I hit the brakes. Our seatbelts were the only thing that kept us from leaping out of the car, through the front window.“Are you trying to bloody kill us?!”“If you don't want to go with me, you are free to return home. I won't blame you for this.” I gestured with my eyes at his door, letting him see he could leave if he wanted. “I planned to do this alone. You we

  • Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption   Not my best friend

    ALEX That bastard Maximo must have known I was coming for him. He wasn't in his home, and the lady in charge of the building informed me he left a few days ago after his rent expired. I checked the gay bar, but none of them recognized who he was. For the entire day, I drove around the city, hoping to get any news or lead that would point me towards his current location, but it seemed like he never existed. None of the men I met knew who he was. Max was the only person I knew who could help me, so I had to drive home to meet him. The new phone I got didn't have his number. The only number I had was Aithan's. As for the number that blonde man gave me, I didn't intend to add it to my contact. As for calling with it, I just wanted to give Aithan some time before doing so. The gates swung open after the sensor on it did a check of the car. It must have recognized me because it made a beep and the gates opened. I drove into the compound I hadn't been to since I left on a mission to hu

    There was a rustling from her side. While I waited, I clenched my fists, looking at Alex, who had his back turned to us. My throat was already dry, so parched, that swallowing was painful. My mind raced with the worst-case scenario as I waited for her response. What would happen if Viktor joined them? It would be Alex against 20 of them. It didn't seem like the scale would tip in our balance. If Viktor was neutral, there was a high possibility of things going our way, but if not, I doubt it would be something neat. Since I decided to be with Alex despite his warning, it meant I would have a face-off with my father. Will I have to kill him like Alex killed Marcus if he tried to hurt my lover? Can I bring myself to bring my hands down on the man who brought me up like his son? Viktor sacrificed his youth just to keep me safe, and the thoughts of killing him…No, I can sort things out. I looked at Alex, at his hunched back, and the impatient tapping of his index finger on his thigh,

    AITHANIt was the best moment of my life. Not that we went out or anything. It was just the two of us in our world. Before we left, Alex switched our phones off. He didn't want us there to be disturbed, so we could have our privacy.I liked it, though. A week away, in our private world, was more than I could have ever asked for. “I wish we could live here forever,” I whined like a kid, plopping down on the bed. This was our last day here, and I didn't want to leave. If it were possible, I would have asked to stay here forever, away from the human world and the headaches that came with it.Out here, we had nothing to worry about. We slept whenever we wanted, and fucked like we were in our mating season, without being disturbed. No one knocked on our door to tell us we had been too loud. We just did our thing, and I enjoyed every second of it.“We can if you like.”“Really?!!” I sat up on the bed, looking at him with wide eyes. “We can stay here if I like??? You are not just saying it

  • Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption   Do you like it?

    I straddled Alex, my thighs bracketing his hips, his thick cock gripped in my hand as I positioned it at my hole. My eyes fluttered shut, a shaky breath slipping past my lips as I lowered myself slowly, feeling him stretch me inch by inch. A soft moan escaped me as his heat tore me open. Alex grunted beneath me, a low, guttural sound vibrating through his broad chest. "Fuck, Ly," he rasped, hazel eyes dark with lust, his golden hair splayed across the pillow like some damn halo. “You are so fucking tight.”I opened my eyes, locking onto his gaze, and started riding him. It was slow at first as I rolled my hips to feel every bit of him. My jet-black hair fell into my face, sweat beading on my brow, and I bent down and crashed my lips against his. Our tongues tangled, hot and messy, as we tasted each other’s hunger. "Yeah, Lex, just like that," I murmured into his mouth, encouraging him as he thrust up, meeting my rhythm, his cock reaching depths of myself I hadn’t dared explored bef

    AITHANI trembled on the bed, my body a live wire buzzing with electricity.Every nerve sparked from the nipple clamps biting into my chest and that damn vibrator buzzing deep inside me. Sweat licked my skin, my hair plastered to my forehead, and I fought to catch my breath after screaming for release. Alex had pulled off my cock, leaving me teetering on the edge, and then he just… vanished.The room spun, my pulse hammering in my ears, and I tried to gather myself. My lips parted to demand where the hell he’d gone when he suddenly strode back in, in the full glory of his raging cock already leaking. He was carrying a full bucket of ice cubes.I narrowed my eyes, a smirk tugging at my lips despite the ache in my body. An idea popped into my head and I smirked wider.“Lie down,” I ordered, sitting up, my voice rough but steady, dripping with the power I refused to let go of, even pinned and plugged like this. Alex raised a brow, his hazel eyes glinting with that smug challenge, but he

    ALEXI knelt beside the bed, my hands digging through the worn wooden box I kept stashed there, the clink of metal and the faint hum of electronics filling the air.Ly lay sprawled behind me, legs spread wide like I’d ordered, with his dark hair sticking to his sweaty forehead, and those piercing blue eyes glinting with anticipation. I could feel his gaze burning into my back, and I smirked as I pulled out a pair of sleek silver nipple clamps, their chain dangling between my fingers. My cock throbbed at the thought of what was coming, the way he’d squirm for me, the way I’d make him crumble.“Don’t you dare move, Ly,” I growled without turning, my voice sharp enough to cut through the thick tension. I heard him shift, rustling of sheets, and I whipped my head around, hazel eyes narrowing. “I said don’t fucking move.” A defiant little huff slipped out, but he stayed put, legs splayed, cock twitching against his stomach. Good. I turned back to the box and fished out a slim vibrating p

    ALEXLy was so impatient to know what I planned, that he rushed into the bedroom after we had dinner, eager to know what my surprise was.I stood there, rooted to the floor, my eyes locked on him. He was sprawled across the bed like a siren carved to rip me apart. He locked gazes with me as he peeled his shirt off slowly, deliberately, with those jet-black strands falling into his piercing blue eyes as he smirked. He knew exactly what he was doing, and the result was my hard-on.The fabric slid over his shoulders, baring that taut, pale skin I’d marked with my teeth a hundred times, and my cock twitched hard in my jeans. Fuck, he was a tease, and he knew it. He knew exactly how to unravel me without even brushing a finger against me. My chest heaved, every breath jagged, because I wanted him so bad it clawed at my guts with a primal ache that had my blood screaming.He kicked off his boots, his fingers drifting to his jeans, popping the button with a flick that was raw provocation.

    The men were thrilled when Alex told them his plans. Sophia was the only one who read between the lines. All it took was for her to look at her brother, to know why he proposed a vacation. Most of the men asked to return home to spend the vacation with their families. Only a few stayed back. Max didn't have anywhere to go, so he offered to stay with Sophia to keep her safe. The two of them drove us to the airport where we boarded a flight to Alex's vacation home, a place he confessed he had only gone to thrice, and that was with his father. At first, I thought we were going to the resort until he told me about their vacation home which was built away from the resort, to conceal it from prying eyes and to give this sense of seclusion and tranquillity.As we stepped off the plane, the warm tropical air enveloped us, and the sound of waves crashing against the shore filled our ears. We were greeted by a driver who whisked us away to Alex's holiday home, nestled in a secluded cove on th

    AITHANViktor was relentless. He called me countless times, dangling his offer in my face and making it difficult for me to refuse him, but it did not sway me.“I love Alex, father. The earlier you realize there's no going back for me, the better it will be for all of us. I would appreciate it if you don't ask me to break up with him again. It's not happening.”There was a prolonged silence from his side, so long, I wondered if he had disconnected without my knowledge. I had to check my phone to be certain of it. “This isn't you, Aithan. You haven't —”“If this is all you called to say, I'm afraid I can't entertain this. I have some things to take care of. The property can't run itself.”“Have a great day then. Let's talk some other time.” He disconnected without letting me bid him farewell. Letting out a tired sigh, I pocketed my phone and relaxed on the couch. I closed my eyes, ready to have a nap. Since early this morning after breakfast, I had been out in the field with the men

    ALEXIt went better than I expected it. I believed he would give me the cold shoulder, and refuse to speak to me for keeping something like this from him, but none of that happened. Though he was reluctant at first to listen to me, to hear my side of the story, he did at last, giving me the chance to come clean about everything. I couldn't tell what good I might have done in my first life to get a mate like Ly. I know I don't deserve him. He's an angel, my Ly, a man I will protect for the rest of my life because, without him, there wouldn't have been the present me.Ly was that missing rib I didn't notice I was seeking, the light in my bleak life and the joy in my sadness. He was just everything I wanted, and more. “Let's go. Sophia will have our heads if we don't hurry!” Ly called from the door. Just a week with Sophia, and he's acting as if he has known her for a long time. They were almost inseparable, always plotting things behind my back. I wouldn't be surprised if they sold m
