Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption What's going on with you?
I walked straight to the dining table and sat next to Viktor. He turned and smiled before he concentrated on Sophia, who was going off with her favourite tales of how she learned to cook. Viktor nodded where necessary, acting like the perfect listening partner, something Sophia gobbled. She left no crumbs.Alex walked into the house and sat next to me. He laced his fingers and focused on me. I had to avert my gaze as a deep warmth crept up my neck. He didn't tear his eyes away from me. I could feel it even with my focus on Viktor and Sophia, who were chatting like long-lost friends who just found each other after being apart for years. “You are pretty interested in her?” I whispered to Viktor when Sophia went to get an extra plate. She didn't know Alex was joining, since he spoke about having a meeting with the men. Now that he had joined our table, Sophia had to bring his plate. “Who?” Viktor turned, frowning. “Sophia?” He scrunched his nose, looking like someone who smelt somethin

“Oh. I see.”“I came because of that, but it seemed there's more pressing things to be taken care of.”“Huh?” I widened my eyes at that. “Which is?” I didn't like how serious his face had become, the way he made it sound like there was something serious going on. “What's wrong with you two?” He repeated his previous question, his gaze lingering on my face before he focused it on Alex. “And before you ask what I meant by it, I hope you know how obvious you two are, right? Anyone with discerning eyes can tell something was going on.”“Something like what?” I sat up on the couch and placed my palms on my thighs, balling them as I tried not to look nervous. Could it be that he discovered we were arguing? But that can't be possible. Though we spoke little to each other, we didn't quarrel. At least not in his presence.“I might not have seen you dating for long, but I have secretly watched you enough to know how all over Alex you are. However, it seems like there's a wedge between you two

I felt so bad for him. When he put it that way, it made me feel awful, but I didn't want to owe up to that. Instead of just letting things slide by extending an olive branch, I folded my arms. Even if his rage was justified, he still needs to seek forgiveness. I can't just let him get away with it.“You always claim that you care about me, but you left yesterday without even bothering to check on me. You slammed the fucking door!”Okay, that was the only thing I could think of that would help my argument. I had to emphasise on that.“I… I apologize for doing that.” He looked up. “I just… I didn't want to say anything that might hurt you. That was why I left. I didn't mean to make you feel so lonely.” He walked over to me. “I apologize if that hurt you. I promise not to do it again.” He stopped a few paces from where I stood, and widened his arms, inviting me for a hug. I knew he could have just closed the distance between us and hugged me, but he didn't. He seemed to want me to step

Forcing a smile, I stepped back and turned to him, keeping both hands to my side. Alex wasn't as pleased as I was at getting interrupted, but his expression was better than mine. He knew how well to hide what he was actually feeling. Viktor got up from the couch and approached us. The frown on his face was now gone, replaced by a smile I wasn't expecting. When he reached us, he raised his right hand. I instinctively shuffled towards him, thinking he wanted to pat my shoulder, but he shocked me when he didn't. Instead of touching me, he reached over to pat a stunned Alex.“Let's speak outside,” he said to him before he turned on his heels and headed towards the door. I watched with an amazed expression, wondering what they were going to talk about. “Without you, Aithan,” he added before he opened the door and stepped out.“Are you going out there?” I whirled around, facing Alex, who had an uncertain expression. He peered down at me before he nodded his head slowly. His expression chan

Viktor said nothing until Alex was out of earshot. He cleared his throat, calling my attention to him. “So, what did you talk to him about?” I asked a question that had been bugging me since he requested to speak to Alex. “You didn't threaten him, did you?” I whirled around to face him, with my eyes narrowed, waiting.Viktor might act a little different from how he was when we last saw each other, but that didn't mean I was about to let him fool me. What if all this was a farce? His idea to get me to lower my guard so he could intimidate Alex and make him leave me? It wasn't impossible. Viktor smiled and shook his head. “I did threaten him, but not the way you think I did.” He started for the door, still smiling. “Which is? What did you discuss with him?” I hurried after him. “Did you ask him to break up with me? You know you can't change my mind, right?”“Aithan —”“I'm not leaving him. I thought I made it clear at the hospital. I'm getting married to Alex, and soon we will be —”

Viktor stayed with me throughout the day. He left in the evening after having dinner with us, promising to always visit whenever he got the chance. It was the best day ever. I got to see my father and my lover in the same room without hurting each other. It was more than I had ever expected, and I was glad that the goddess granted a request of mine. “Did you enjoy today?” Alex wrapped his hand around me and brought me closer. He lay his head on my left shoulder and inhaled. “Yeah.” I smiled, placing my hand over his. I leaned back into his embrace and closed my eyes, feeling his warmth wash over me. “It was the perfect day. I didn't expect today to go like this.” “Me too.” He placed a kiss on my hair. “I'm glad it worked out. Your father surprised me.”“Yeah, he did.” Viktor took a step I didn't think he would take. Despite being against our union, he swallowed his pride to breach the gap between us. “Do you want to go visit him? I know it's still early to decide on that, I —”“L

Ryder didn't return that week like we expected him to. Sophia was on edge, believing her 'evil brother' would show up, but she got a call late in the day when he was supposed to arrive that his flight got delayed. It was good news for her until he told her he would return a week later when he resolved the flight issue. Apparently, he didn't wish to pay extra and had to wait for the same flight.While Alex and Sophia were on edge, I was having the time of my life. After my father's visit, Pink visited me. It was the highlight of my week, meeting my best friend. For a month now, we have only spoken on the phone. Seeing him on my doorstep early this morning was the perfect surprise to start the day with. It seemed he had a plan with Viktor to show up in the morning. Unlike Viktor, though, his visit was well received. Now that everyone had been briefed about the truce, they no longer saw him as a threat, something that wouldn't have been possible if Viktor never extended that olive bran

“I have a request,” I said, sitting on our dressing chair. Pink left a few hours ago after dinner — he didn't want to leave, but I had to force him, or else he would hug the kitchen because of Sophia's food. That motherfucker kept on moaning about how it wasn't fair I got to eat her food every day. It took a lot to kick him out. I spent the entire time during dinner thinking of his proposal. I knew he made sense, but I couldn't think of how to propose something like this to Alex. I just wanted to avoid making him look at me with disgusting eyes.I didn't make it a secret how badly I wanted him to treat me like a whore, but he never knew to what extent I craved that. I needed so badly to recreate the night of my rape, but not as brutal as that one, just something that would replace that dreadful memory.With my lover doing that, I believe it will change my perception of that night. It will make me forget the pains I went through, enough for me to move on.Alex looked up, frowning. He

I never imagined that such a day would come, and faster at that. I wouldn't have believed that I would tie the knot with the person of my choice someday. I had always resolved I would get married to a girl Viktor picked, but Alex showed up and changed my mind. “You look handsome,” Pink said, standing behind me. “You are the most beautiful groom in the entire world.”“Oh, spare me that.” I rolled my eyes. I had gotten enough compliments from Viktor and Sophia, who thought I needed to hear how good I looked, for my ego. I smoothed my suit even though it wasn't necessary, staring into the mirror as a small smile crept up. They were right. I had never looked as good as I did today. It being my wedding made it the best. The black suit fitted me more than I thought it would even though it was custom-made.I paired my black jacket with a crisp white shirt and a black tie, a gift I got from Viktor. He didn't want me to match with the tie that came with my suit. He wanted something of his on

But I wanted more. I wanted him. I tugged him up, kissing him fiercely, then rolled us so I could straddle him.“My turn.” I licked down his chest, tasting salt and heat, then lingering on his nipples until he groaned my name.“Ly, you’re driving me crazy.”I went lower, sucking him slowly and deeply, savouring every shudder he gave me.I moved lower some more and gagged, and Alex’s hand pushed my head back down when I tried to escape, his fingers tangling gently in my hair.“Easy, Ly,” he murmured, his voice a low rumble, his eyes locking onto mine, soft but insistent. I groaned around him, the stretch of my lips around his thick cock sending a shiver through me. I held his gaze, determined to please him, to make him see how beautiful this was.The moonlight spilt over us, catching the gold in his hair, and I felt my chest tighten with how damn beautiful he looked, all raw and open for me.“Fuck, Aithan, you’re so good at this.” He kept brushing my cheek, guiding me as I took him dee
Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption Day and night
AITHANIt has been a month since the encounter with that bastard rapist, and things had gotten back on track. Ryder like I had suspected wasn't as bad as they made him out to be. Marcus was the one who pulled the string, controlling him with his position as the head of the family. With Ryder gone, the rest of the family united. We got rid of the mafia families that tried to challenge us. After a long day of work, Alex suggested we take a walk in the spring close to his cabin.The spring glittered under the full moon. The surface was a mirror of silver light that stretched across the clearing.I sat beside Alex, my bare feet brushing the cool grass, my eyes fixed on the sky.His golden hair caught the moonlight, shimmering like a halo, and I couldn’t help but steal a glance at him. His eyes were soft yet intense as he stared upward too.He could feel it as much as I could do, the beauty of this moment.The air was crisp, laced with the scent of pine and damp earth, and the night felt

ALEXMy heart left my body when I heard Sophia's words. I leapt from my chair and reached for her, ripping the phone off her hand. My blood grew cold as I read the text. “Did they say what they want?” Ryder asked behind me, reaching my side in a few strides. “Yes, they —”I passed the phone back to Sophia before she could complete her words and headed out, almost ripping the door off its hinges from the force I tore through it with. I heard echoing footsteps behind me as I headed for my car, but before I could open the door, Ryder placed his hand on the doorknob, stopping me. “Get your hands off!” I growled. “This isn't the fucking time to play!”“Do I look like I'm playing?” He glared, matching my tone. “You can't drive in your state. Let me do that. I promise I will take you there in time.”“Fuck off! This doesn't concern you.” I ripped his hand off, but he was persistent, holding me before I could open the door. “It concerns me, Alex. Now that I have decided to forgo the past
Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption They weren't lying
AITHANI know I was such a fool when I left the house without telling Alex the truth of where I was heading. I lied to him that I was going over to my bar when I wasn't. Today made it 2 days and close to 48 hours since I received the letter, and I was on my way to meet whoever sent it. On the back of the letter, they had written how to meet them. One of the specific requirements was for me to come alone else they would send the video to Alex. To keep my lover from discovering my past from them, I had to do something stupid.I know I can fight should it get to that, but there was no way of knowing what I would be up against. What if they had a gun? What if they had other people with them? I couldn't risk it. I had to play it safe, no matter how much it pained me to do so.I didn't take my car with me, as that would make it difficult for me to keep Alex in the dark. He has a tracker in my car and would know wherever I am. To be on the safer side, I had to leave my car at home and take

ALEX“Can I have a chat with you?” Ryder said when he walked into my study. He knocked before he stepped in, though. What I didn't like was how he looked like it was his right to speak to me, even if I didn't want that. “What do you want to talk about?” I closed the laptop to face him. He lifted a brow. “Won't you offer me a seat?”I gritted my teeth, keeping my anger in check. So he wouldn't gloat that he had won. I gestured to the seat across from mine. “Have a seat.”“Now that's more like.” Grinning, he sat on the chair and crossed his legs, watching me. He didn't say a word for a long time. He just watched me. “What is it you wish to discuss? Don't tell me you came in here to stare at me?” I broke the silence between us, irritated. “What if I did?” I narrowed my eyes. “I don't have all the time in the world for your shenanigans, Ryder. Why are you here?”“Where is Aithan? Your lover?”“Why? What's with you asking about him?” If I was suspicious about him from the time he step
Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption The best supporting character
AITHAN Ryder was lucky I was in the sitting room with Alex when he arrived, else his blood would have decorated the floor. Alex would have had his head for just looking at me, but I stopped him. My lover just doesn't seem to know his stepbrother was baiting him. Ryder, despite knowing what would have gone down if I didn't stop Alex, smiled, winked at me, turned on his steps and walked towards the stairs with his small bag. We watched him leave, humming under his breath and with a slight swag to his steps. It wasn't until he was out of earshot that I heard Sophia exhale. “Thank fuck," she whispered, looking at me with a sad smile. He didn't even look at her. What a brother he was. I bet he only wanted Sophia to return with him to the city, so she wouldn't be near Alex. “I hate him,” Alex muttered under his breath. “He's not —” I swallowed down the word I wanted to say. Letting it out would infuriate my lover, who looked like he was losing it. Ryder wasn't bad, though. I didn't

ALEX I would be a damned liar if I said I didn't feel there was something Aithan was keeping from me. I knew he didn't tell me everything, but there was no way to confirm that. He hid that letter, and I couldn't find it in the room when I searched for it. I couldn't shake off the feeling that something wasn't right, but Aithan kept on insisting that he was okay and that the letter was just from someone who might have seen him killing those men. I asked if it was the same man he thought he saw at the restaurant. He hesitated before he denied it. I didn't believe that, but who was I to argue with him?I couldn't just afford to be given cold shoulders, as that was something Aithan was excellent at. Any minor argument, he will keep a long face, and make me grovel on my feet just to get back with him. Not like I was complaining or anything. “Good morning,” he whispered, rubbing his eyes. I had been long awake, staring at the ceiling, while he slept. I didn't just want to disturb him
Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption I'm here for you
“Open the letter and check. You might get an inkling of who sent it,” Alex said, his voice breaking the silence.I hesitated for a moment, my heart racing with anxiety. What if it was something bad? What if it were someone from my past, come to haunt me? I didn't want to open it. I wanted to throw the letter as far away from me as I could, but Alex's encouraging gaze gave me the courage to open the envelope. I slid my finger under the flap and pulled out the letter inside.As I unfolded the paper, my eyes scanned the page, my heart sinking with every word. It was a letter, all right. But it wasn't from a friend or a bill collector. It was from someone who knew my darkest secrets, someone who threatened to expose me to the world.My hands shook as I read it, my mind reeling with fear. How did they know? Who told them? And what did they want from me?Blinking, I reread the letter. "Aithan,I know what happened that night. I know what those men did to you. And I know what you did to the
