"If you want it so badly," Cross said, his voice a dark whisper, "you're going to have to beg for it, cara."

He stood up, his eyes never leaving mine as he undid his belt and unzipped his pants. His erection sprang free, thick and angry, pointing at me like an accusation. My eyes were glued to it, my mouth watering despite the fear that churned in my stomach.

Cross chuckled, the sound sending a shiver through me. "You want this?" he taunted, stroking himself slowly. "You want me to fuck you?"

I glared up at him, trying to hide the desperate need that was building within me. "You're a monster," I spat out, though the words lacked conviction.

His smile only grew darker. "Perhaps," he said, stroking his erection slowly. "But you seem to like what the monster does to you."

The words were a slap in the face, but I couldn't deny the truth. My body was on fire, and it was all because of him. The way he touched me, the way he made me feel... it was wrong, but it was also undeniable. I felt my

    Chapter 11The room was silent except for the sound of our heavy breathing, the air thick with the scent of our desire. Cross's hands found my hips, his fingers digging into my skin as I began to rock against him more vigorously, my wetness coating him, the friction driving me closer to the edge. He groaned, his eyes glazed with lust, as I took my power back, dictating the rhythm of our dance. I felt a thrill at the way he watched me, his pupils wide and dark with need."Fuck," I moaned, my voice breathless and low, the word slipping out before I could stop it. The sensation was too intense, the feeling of him beneath me, hard and demanding, too much to ignore. I leaned forward, my breasts brushing against his face as I rode him, my movements growing more frantic. His thumbs continued to play with my nipples, sending jolts of pleasure straight to my core.But Cross had had enough of my teasing. With a sudden, surprising show of strength, he flipped us over, his body covering mine a

    Cross didn't waste any time. With a feral growl, he grabbed my hips, his hands like steel bands around my waist. I could feel the tip of his erection probing at my entrance, the heat of him making me squirm with anticipation. He didn't bother with sweet talk or gentle persuasion—just one hard, swift thrust and he was inside me, filling me up with an intensity that made me gasp.He held my hair in his fist, pulling my head back so I was forced to look up at him. His eyes were blazing with lust, his face a mask of concentration and power. "You're no longer a virgin," he growled, his voice deep and guttural. "So you can handle this, cara."And with those words, he began to thrust into me with a ferocity that took my breath away. Each movement was punctuated by the sound of our bodies slapping together, the smack of his hips against my ass echoing in the room. I moaned, my eyes never leaving his, as he claimed me in a way that was both brutal and exhilarating. The pain had faded into th

    "Tell me," he whispered, his voice a dark caress, "am I too rough?"I opened my mouth to protest, but before the words could escape, Cross's hand shot up to cover my throat, his thumb resting gently on my pulse. The pressure was enough to make me pause, to swallow the words that had formed on the tip of my tongue. His eyes bore into me, a silent challenge that sent a thrill of fear and excitement through my body.He leaned down, his erection poised at my entrance, and whispered, "You want it rough, don't you, cara?" His breath was hot against my ear, his voice a seductive taunt. "You want to feel me claiming you, owning you, making you scream my name."The pressure on my neck grew slightly, his thumb caressing the delicate skin of my throat. I nodded, unable to find the words to articulate the maelstrom of emotions inside me. The need to feel him dominate me was stronger than any fear or pride I had left."Good," he murmured, his eyes darkening as he pushed into me once more. He was r

    Cross’s grip loosened slightly, but his eyes never left mine. “What do I want from you?” he asked, his voice low and cold. “Everything, cara. Your loyalty, your obedience… and your silence.”I swallowed hard, the tension in the room thick enough to choke me. “Silence about what?”His face hardened, and a dangerous edge crept into his tone. “About tonight. About me. About everything you think you know.” He tilted his head, his sharp gaze pinning me in place. “You were digging for answers, weren’t you? That’s why you came after me.”I opened my mouth to deny it, but the truth hung in the air between us. Cross smirked, his amusement clear as he saw the panic flash in my eyes.“You’re clever,” he admitted, his tone mocking. “But cleverness can get you killed.” He leaned back slightly, as if to give me space, but his presence was still overwhelming. “You think you’ve uncovered the monster in the dark, but you’re blind to what lies ahead.”Anger flared inside me, briefly pushing aside my fe

    ARI’s pov The sound of running water echoed from the small adjoining bathroom. I sat on the edge of the bed, my jaw clenched and my hands gripping the sheets tightly. My emotions churned—anger, disbelief, humiliation—all swirling together into a storm I could barely contain. Cross Margiello was in my bathroom. That fact alone was enough to make my skin crawl. He had turned my life upside down in ways I hadn’t even begun to understand, yet he moved through my space as though he owned it, as though I were just some pawn on his chessboard. The bathroom door opened, and steam billowed out. Cross stepped into the room, a towel slung low on his hips, droplets of water trailing down his chiseled torso. He didn’t even glance my way as he walked to the chair where his clothes were draped. “It’s almost morning,” he said casually, his deep voice breaking the tense silence. I stared at him, my anger simmering just beneath the surface. He spoke as though nothing had happened, as though hi

    ARI’s povI didn’t sleep much. My eyes were bloodshot, and my mind wouldn’t shut off. It kept replaying everything that happened with Cross—his coldness, the way he brushed me off, the slap. I didn’t regret it, but I sure as hell wasn’t proud of it either. It was like I was fighting a battle inside myself—part of me wanted to run far away from everything, to quit this whole mess, to forget about him. But another part of me, the stupid part, the part that still couldn’t let go, wanted to stay in this twisted game I had no business being a part of.I forced myself out of bed, pushing the thoughts of Cross aside, at least for the moment. I had to go to work. I didn’t have a choice.The shower didn’t help clear my head, and the coffee didn’t taste as good as it usually did. I was running on fumes, but I still managed to pull myself together, throwing on my uniform, tying my hair into a tight ponytail, and pretending like nothing was wrong. But I knew better. The moment I stepped into

    Ari’s POV It was all Jonathan’s fault! If only he had been a faithful boyfriend then maybe I wouldn’t have carelessly slept with the man my team were after. One minutes I was certain I was going to deal with Cross and take a hold of my life and the next, I was letting it bother me. My mind subtly went to the feel of his lips against my skin and I shrugged it off. Damn Cross! Minute after minute seemed heavier than the one before. At this point in the day, my thoughts were not on my best side and all I wanted was to go home. I was exhausted after Jonathan's interrogation. His accusations and his statements about safeguarding someone weighed heavily on me, making it impossible for me to release them. It was hard to forget about Cross when he was the center of our investigation so there was definitely no forgetting him, even though I knew I couldn't escape him permanently. “Heading home?” I heard Jonathan ask while I grabbed my belongings. Ignoring his gaze, I re

    ARI’S POVNo, not tonight.He wasn’t going to waltz into the picture tonight again to be some Prince Charming coming in to save the day.Both men turned to Cross now.“This was supposed to be some guns aside game, dude, but looks like you cheated already!” Instantly, they each pulled out a trigger and trailed it on Cross.My heart skipped a beat, and I couldn’t understand why. I mean, if they opened fire and rained bullets on him right now, they’ll be putting all my stress to an end. They would be ridding the world off a criminal and my confusion will finally be over.But I noticed a feeling in that split second of picturing him dead and crashing to the ground – fear.I was scared of losing Cross!And everything about that just wasn’t right.I turned to him, partly pleading, partly also being defiant to having to accept the fact that we were outnumbered.“Cross, just put the gun away.” I muttered. It was only a psychological game we played as cops; one that could buy us time to do som

    Cross’ POVGlitch… Blur…Ari…The first thing I noticed was the pain. A dull, pounding ache that spread through my ribs, my legs, my fucking skull—like my whole body had been through a meat grinder.The second thing I noticed was the beeping.A steady, rhythmic sound, soft but persistent.Then came the weight.Something tugged at my arm—no, inside my arm.A drip.IV fluids.That’s when the panic hit.My eyes snapped open.The ceiling above me was unfamiliar. Not the cold, gray stone of a prison cell. Not the dark, high-rise walls of my penthouse.Where the hell was I?I tried to move, but my body resisted.My wrists—strapped down.I gritted my teeth, yanking against the restraints.No. No, no, no.Flashes of memory crashed into me.The van. The sudden jolt. The tires screeching.Gunfire.The ground disappearing beneath me.Falling. Tumbling.The pain.And then—Figures in the dark.A faceless silhouette pulling me out of the wreckage.

    Ari’s POVWait…Someone had to explain to me how you could be with one person one minute and the other, they were…They were…Everything was a blur.The days after the accident felt like they barely existed, passing in a haze of grief, exhaustion, and an unbearable hollowness in my chest.I barely ate.I barely slept.I barely breathed.I waited for confirmation, but it was true. A body was found. Retrieved. Everything had burned to crisp. But it was true.It was him.Cross Margiello.Deceased.The news had already spread through the precinct, and even though no one dared to say it out loud, I could feel the looks. The silent whispers. The pity. I hated it. I hated that I had let myself believe, even for a second, that Cross could have made it out alive.Because he didn’t.And now, all I had left was this crushing emptiness. And how did I pour it out? Pretending I was fine while I ran into the field screaming and weeping, while I crashed in the bathtub sobbing, while I hated myself in

    Ari’s POVFirst, Cross.Betrayal, and still, he could not leave my mind.But I had left him.I had walked away, leaving him behind, knowing this was the last time I would see him. And yet, my hands had shaken as I turned the doorknob, my heart twisting painfully in my chest as I forced myself not to look back. Because if I did, if I saw the way Cross was looking at me—pleading, desperate, raw—I would break.I had already broken.But this was how it had to be. I kept telling myself that. Over and over. There was never a version of this story where Cross and I had a happy ending. This was always where it was going to end.I wiped my face roughly, steeling myself. You did the right thing, Ari.I had to believe that. I needed to believe that.***As I made my way to the scene where I was to get Kaelie back, I remembered Cross’ advice for me.Get as close as possible.I had told Lady Smith already; I didn’t want the men around. Anyway, they were all too busy feigning and creating distracti

    Mira’s POVKaelie looked like shit.Her eyes were puffy and swollen from crying, her lips cracked, her whole body slumped forward in exhaustion. She didn’t even flinch when I stepped into the room this time.I walked over lazily, stopping just in front of her chair. “You’re quieter than usual.”She lifted her head weakly. “What’s the point?”I smirked, tilting my head. “Giving up already?”Kaelie swallowed hard, her voice hoarse. “Are they coming for me?”I crouched down, watching her carefully. “Oh, sweetheart.” I reached out, running a finger under her chin before she jerked her head away. “They’re on their way.”Her bottom lip trembled, but she clenched her jaw to keep it from showing.I sighed, shaking my head. “You’re lucky, you know. You get to be part of something big. This isn’t just about you, or me, or even Ari. This is about power.”Kaelie scoffed. “You’re insane.”I grinned. “And you’re boring me.”I stood up, stepping back toward the door. “Don’t worry. Your best friend w

    Cross’ POVI was caged.Again.I sat on the edge of the small cot in my cell, my jaw clenched so tightly it ached. My fists balled at my sides; my knuckles white from the pressure.This wasn’t how it was supposed to go.I had been seconds away from breaking out, from finally taking control of my life again. But then she showed up—Ari, with her shaking hands and pleading eyes, pointing a gun at me like she actually had it in her to shoot.I exhaled sharply, rubbing my face.I needed a new plan.Something was coming.Something bad.And I wasn’t about to sit here and let it happen to me.It was then the explosion came to my mind again. Who must have sent the message? Kouvu? Kouvu had been lying low since the last time I had tried to set him up, but I knew he was waiting for the right time to take me out of the picture and become the next street lord. And now, of course, he was sending a message. I could be certain it was Kouvu that sent the bomb.Just then, the cell door and I turned to

    Ari’s POVI had just been on my desk that afternoon, flipping through the files on Kaelie’s case, though the words barely registered. My mind was stretched thin, caught between the weight of my mistakes and the desperate need to set things right.Kaelie was still out there.I had agreed to Mira’s terms. I had promised to bring Cross.But nothing about this situation felt right.Everything was a mess."Ari."I looked up to see Gina standing near my desk, her expression unusually soft.I tensed automatically, waiting for another lecture, another round of judgment, but instead, she sighed."I just… I wanted to apologize," she said.I blinked. "For what?"She hesitated before sitting across from me. "For how we’ve treated you. For how I’ve treated you. Everyone has been so quick to blame you for everything that’s happened—Kaelie, Aaron, Cross… but I realize now, none of this is just on you."I stared at her, unsure of what to say.Gina exhaled sharply. "Look, I don’t know the full story b

    Cross’ POVI sat in the cold cell, my fists clenched, my mind running wild with every possible way I could get out of this mess.I had survived worse.But this? This was fucking humiliating.Lady Smith had crossed a line last night—one that I’d never let go unpunished.And she would pay for it.I groaned again. Fuck.My dick still ached from last night and my body ached from my wounds. I was slowly drifting off to sleep when the sound of heels clicking against the concrete floor made me lift my head.Right on time.Lady Smith stepped into view, her posture as relaxed as ever, her face painted with amusement. She leaned against the bars of my cell, tilting her head.“Well, well,” she drawled. “How’s my favorite prisoner doing today?”I didn’t answer. I just stared at her; my jaw tight.She smirked, running a hand over the bars. “Not in the mood for small talk? That’s a shame. I was going to tell you how much I thoroughly enjoyed our time together last night.”My hands twitched, but I f

    Mira’s POVKaelie was still unconscious when I stepped into the room.She was strapped to a chair, her head slumped forward, her breath coming in soft, shaky intervals. Her hair was a tangled mess over her face, strands sticking to her damp skin.Pathetic.I walked over to the table, picking up a knife and twirling it between my fingers as I watched her. The dim light cast long shadows on the walls, giving the room an eerie glow.Then, finally, she stirred.A soft groan escaped her lips as her body tensed. Slowly, her eyes fluttered open, blinking against the light.It took her a second to register her surroundings.Then the panic hit.Her breathing turned sharp and erratic. She tugged at the restraints, her body twisting and struggling against the chair.“H-hello?” she called out, her voice trembling. “Somebody—please! Help!”I smirked.“Oh, sweetheart,” I cooed, stepping into her line of sight. “No one’s coming.”Her eyes snapped to me, wide with fear. “Who… who are you?”I tilted m

    Ari’s POVKaelie was gone.Kidnapped.And I wasn’t going to waste another second.I stormed into the precinct the next morning, my heart pounding in my chest. The moment I stepped inside, all eyes were on me. The officers in the room seemed caught off guard by my presence, but I didn’t care.I marched straight toward Lady Smith’s office, ignoring the murmurs, ignoring the way people shifted uncomfortably as I passed.I didn’t have time for them.I needed to see Cross.I pushed open Lady Smith’s office door without knocking.She was seated behind her desk, as calm and composed as ever, sifting through some paperwork as if she wasn’t the biggest pain in my ass right now.Her eyes flicked up to me, unreadable."Ah, Detective Walsh," she said smoothly. "To what do I owe this sudden, and might I add, unannounced visit?"I slammed my hands onto her desk. “Kaelie was taken last night.”Lady Smith didn’t even flinch. Obviously, police reports had reached her."And?"My jaw clenched. "And I ne
