Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption A confidant
AITHANI blinked at him. Never in my wildest imagination would I believe I would one day have such a conversation with Pink. “You are gay?” I asked once more, to convince myself I heard him correctly, and that my ears weren't playing tricks on me. He nodded, his cheeks red. “It's not that obvious, is it?” “It's not. I wouldn't have even suspected a thing.” I gave him an appraisal. Aside from his unusual love for the pink colour, there was nothing odd about him. He spoke about girls like the rest of us and even talked about getting married to one and having a family. Was that all a hoax? To get us from knowing he was different from us? It wasn't far-fetched. He must have realized not everyone would be accommodating of his sexuality. “I know.” He smiled. “I only dated once though, and just decided to stop it after what happened to you.” He looked up sharply. “I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that. I was guilty. You see. I believed you would hate me should you know I was gay because o

“So, where are you taking me?” Michelle asked with a smile, wriggling her brows at me. “Well… Let's see.” I racked my brain for a place to take her to. I'd never been out of the house unless it was for something necessary. And then, it was to go to either my bar, to check out things for Viktor or a stakeout. I always took the women I dated in the past to the bar. There was no reason to think of where to take them when they liked me just for me. Okay, I once took one out to dinner. News flash? It was my restaurant. So, that was it. I had never been a romantic man. I sucked at it. Viktor always dragged my ears about this, but it wasn't my fault. I had little experience in that area, as Viktor wasn't the right role model. I doubt he had dated anyone since he became my father. He dedicated his entire life to me. I believe he influenced me.“Ai?” Michelle called out, bringing my focus back to her.“You choose. I don't even know much about the city. I can take you on a drive around, but

“That was fun!” Michelle sighed as she got up, stretching her back. “Even though I lost to you, I had fun. I didn't know life could be so interesting when you do something fun with someone you are close to. Let's do this again next time.”“Yeah.” Yawning, I got up from the chair and held her bag up. “Are you hungry? Should we go find something to eat?” I was hoping she would take the bait to avoid getting more messages from that damned, lousy werewolf. For the past hour, I had been getting messages from him, texts I didn't bother to open because I knew it would all be from him. You would have thought we were dating from the number of texts he had sent. “Eat? I'm not that hungry. Why don't we play for a few minutes more? We can play poker. I've been dying to try this out. I haven't done it in a long time.” She pouted, giving me her best puppy dog look. This would have worked on me had it not been for my eagerness to get out of there. I didn't want to get bombarded by texts from Alex

“No, it's not. I don't eat seafood,” I lied through my teeth, ignoring Michelle, who looked at me suspiciously. She knew I loved seafood as I always took her to the one near our high school each time we got a free period. “Oh.” He let go, his face in an unreadable mask. “I will have them prepare something else for you. I apologize for my oversight. I shouldn't have assumed you liked something without asking you about it.”“You don't need to bother.” I sat back in the chair. “What are you doing here?” Michelle asked Alex. Somehow, she had forgotten how he almost bit her head off because she called his name and how he ignored her. Alex glanced at her, his mouth still pulled up in a frown as he muttered. “This place is mine. Of course, I have every right to be here.”“What??” Michelle gasped, as she placed her right palm over her heart. “You owe this place??? What the hell???”“What do you want to have? I will have them make it for you. It's on the house. You can order whatever you wa

“It's okay. I will eat this.” Michelle frowned as she looked down at her plate. It looked like she had realized Alex didn't like her. It was such a pity, as it seemed like she liked him.“Are you enjoying your time here?” Alex grinned at me, acting like he couldn't tell he had broken a woman's heart.“What are you doing?” I glared at him, gritting those words out. “Don't you have anything else to do? Something to occupy your time with?” I didn't feel comfortable having him here with me, but he seemed as if he enjoyed it.“Come on. Why are you acting like we are strangers? We have basically seen each other's —”“What about the food? Why haven't they served it yet?” I cut his words short before he could complete them. Knowing how shameless he was, it wasn't difficult to know what he might likely speak about last night.“It's on the way.” He smirked as leaned on the table with his right hand under his jaw, looking at me with a suspicious expression on his face. I didn't need to be told t

ALEXHow did I end up in such a situation? Okay, I knew how. My jealousy caused it. The minute I got a call from my men alerting me of Aithan's presence in my casino, I rushed over to see him, only for my blood to boil when I saw him with that same woman his father said was a perfect match for him.The rage that took over was unlike anything else. I believed the night we spent together had a role to play. It explained why I felt the need to strangle someone, the woman, preferably.Now, I was tasked with chatting with the woman else he wouldn't speak to me again. It was as if he knew the kind of hold he had on me…else he wouldn't be so confident as to threaten me with it. He must have realized that I was a sucker for him.“Oh,” Michelle said with a smile. “You two must be close enough seeing you grew up together.”“Of course. We have even slept —” A curse left my lips when Aithan stomped on my foot once more. I had to shift my legs so he wouldn't do it again. “Pardon me for that. I was

AITHANHis office was the last place I thought I would find myself in. I believed we would part ways after spending half the day playing in his casino, but Alex seemed like he didn't want that. How else would he ask to discuss work with me when he knew I wanted to take my visitor home?I stepped into his office, looking around the neatly kept space. Alex didn't strike me as someone who would have such a commanding office. It looked just like mine. The only difference was how boring this place looked. I bet he hardly stayed in this place for a long time. The dark wood panelling and leather-bound books seemed to belong to another office, not to one that was his. He didn't strike me as someone who read. Behind the massive mahogany desk, a high-backed leather chair seemed to loom over the room, as if waiting for its occupant to return and reclaim his throne. He adorned the walls with framed photos of golf games and hunting trips, each one showcasing Alex's toothy grin and hearty handsha

I'd become used to his kissing, that was why it didn't come as much of a surprise to me. I returned the kiss, and we began kissing passionately. His tongue tangled with mine in a smooth, rhythmic way.His hands started feeling my entire body. The strong smooth hands caressed my body, and I felt myself arching towards him.He stopped at my crotch and lightly stroked my bulging hard-on. He slid his mouth down my neck, sucking and licking down as he unbuttoned my shirt with the quick precision of a man who knows what he was doing.“No,” sanity instantly returned. I held his right hand and stopped him from going further. It seemed like I had been kicked in the gut, to remind me of where we were before I let things escalate more than they had. “We are in your office. We can't do this.” I glance around as if I were expecting someone to jump up from the shadows. There was a massive possibility of someone walking in to see us in each other's arms.“And what about that? It's not as if we can'

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

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
