Ari’s POV

By the time I opened my eyes, I found I was alone in bed. I reached out and felt for his presence but there was no one.

Cross had vanished.

That was him – talented in appearing and then, vanishing like he was never there.

But as soon as his absence began to dawn on me, I felt the urgent need to pull into his embrace again. Shit! I cursed, throwing aside the covers as I staggered to my feet and walked up to the mirror, taking a look at my naked body.

And Cross had it all.

I cursed again as I looked away. What was this feeling? I was contempt and satisfied. Still, I was uncomfortable and hated myself. I gave it a close thought. I needed to do something about this relationship… like truly define it, especially in terms of how it was affecting my life, my work…

My work!

This would be the third time I’d be cursing this morning as I dashed into the bathroom. I was late.

“No… no…no…”

I was dressed in no time and was about marching my way out of the house when my eyes went straight

    Cross’ POV“What the fuck was wrong with you, Cross?” I spat to my reflection in the bathroom mirror. My reflection in the glass looked like a stranger—eyes darker than they should have been, jaw tight with frustration and regret.I couldn’t get her out of my head. Ariana.“Ariana…” I whispered her name. Cara. I leaned weakly against the glass as I reached for the switch lazily and turned the shower on, my dick hard against the ice cold water.The argument from the night before replayed over and over, her words slicing through my chest like shards of glass. “Stay away from me, Cross. Stay away from my life. I don’t need you.”Stay away from her? I grabbed my shaft and slid my arm through its thick girth back and forth.“No, Cara.” I grunted.She was wrong.She did need me, even if she couldn’t see it yet.I clenched my fists tighter around my toughening dick, groaning in agony, the frustration burning hotter. I wasn’t good at this—apologies, vulne

    Ari’s POVI was still trying to get a hang of what was happening between me and this man. Even now as he stood before me apologetic, I could feel an attraction; a pull I couldn’t define and yet, as much as it fired up within me, I desperately wanted him out of my apartment and out of my house for good.For fuck’s sake, he was a psychopath! He fucking killed Bruno like he was a nobody.“Cross, you’re stupidly playing some dirty game.” I began. “I’m a cop. I see the need to remind you this again. It’s only a matter of time before your stupid game comes to an end and I will throw you right into jail without second thoughts.”The Cross I knew would have scoffed and saw me as someone stupid; someone he could control, but this time, he seemed different as he stared at me with his lips parted, his breathing rushed.“That’s my problem, Ari. I can’t do without you. I can’t live without you! You have to help me.” He replied as he pulled close to me.“Help you? I don’t get you, Cross. What is th

    Cross’ POVThe bedroom was a mess. Books were scattered on the floor with some torn pages lying motionlessly, the lamp was lying on its side, and its table was nothing more than splinters of wood. Two bottles of wine that still had some red liquid in them lay on the bed with their contents spilling on the bed ever so slowly.I didn’t know Ari to be this messy but then it was obvious she had not had time to pack things up together after the aggressive time we shared together earlier. Perhaps, it wouldn’t be so bad to tell her I was sorry by helping with some little chores. For now, though, I laid her quietly on the bed and then, I checked her breathing.She was alive and stable. Of course, she was stronger than that. This wouldn’t be the first time I would have a lady pass out after an experience with me. What Ari was going through was nothing new to me, but she was even stronger than I had known most girls to be after handling me all so well during the previous encounters we’ve had

    Cross’ POVAri was clearly weak from our previous round, she was fast asleep within some minutes, leaving me on hold. I had to cuddle close to her spooning her ass close up. I still couldn’t fall asleep and it was two hours already. I needed this badly, I was turned on so badly that my cock kept poking her. Suddenly I felt her and touching my dick, twisting slowly at it. Ari kept jerking my cock slowly, while she turned and whispered into my ears; “I want to drain you all out.” She was now wide awake now and seemingly energetic unlike before. I let out a low groan, feeling the sensations around my dick. It was of both pain and pleasure, here I am pushing myself to the limits after having an intense orgasm, still I was horny as hell. I closed my eyes trying to focus on Ari's hand as it went back and forth. The erection was still too weak to be inserted into her. Ari had noticed.She switched her position kneeling in front of me as I spread apart my legs fully revealing my nakedne

    Ari’s POVI couldn’t help but feel a smug sense of a satisfaction. I had just reached orgasm with Cross. My body was still drained from the previous round, although Cross wanted more. I was starting to wonder if this was really a man or a sex demon as clearly he wasn’t satisfied. I gave him a nod, reassuring him that I was up for more. What was I doing? I really need a break.The thoughts of sleeping in bliss occupied my mind but that was not possible with Cross around me. There was something about him I could not get myself to understand. Something that was bringing out a craving monster in me. Even now as I watched him parade the sitting room as morning drew close, my thoughts ran wild, my heart racing.I wanted the mafia lord one more time. Even if it was just one more. How was I to escape the reality that I was falling deeply into his sexual grip?I should have known better. I found myself walking quietly to him. He smiled warmly, looking much unlike the devil that someone like

    Ari’s POVThe sun rays woke me up. My body felt weightless as ever as my mind replayed flashes of the night before—his touch, his voice, the way his lips moved against mine. Cross. The name lingered in my thoughts like an intoxicating melody.I reached out from across me and just as I had imagined, he was gone.I stretched lazily, savoring the memory of the intensity we’d shared. My lips curled into a small smile despite myself. I hated how much I’d enjoyed it; how much I’d wanted it. But no matter how I tried to rationalize it, the truth was undeniable: I’d fallen deeper into his orbit, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to leave.The alarm on my phone blared, snapping me back to reality. I groaned, swinging my legs over the edge of the bed and standing on shaky feet. “Back to the real world, Ari,” I muttered to myself, dragging my tired body to the bathroom.As I slipped into the shower, I let out a deep sigh. Work was the last thing I wanted to think about right now. My job was built on r

    Ari’s POVMy eyes moved from the wine glass to the candle, to his piercing eyes, and back to the glass. I was struggling with maintaining eye contact. Something told me this was not the moment to foolishly drool over him. I needed my head intact for this. My fingers toyed with the stem of the wine glass as I stared at Cross, waiting for him to speak. The weight of his earlier words hung in the air, heavy and unyielding.“You look nervous,” he said, breaking the silence.“Should I not be?” I shot back. “You said I’m in danger, and now you’re just… sitting there like we have all the time in the world.”He leaned back in his chair, his expression unreadable. “Because we do, for now. I wanted you to hear it from me before it reaches you in other ways.”I folded my arms. “So talk.”Cross’s gaze held mine, steady and piercing. “The attack at the bar last week. Two men died.”I nodded. “I know. The reports came through the precinct. I mean, we both met at the mortuary when I tried to get my

    Ari’s POVI woke up with a groan, staring at the ceiling. Last night’s “date” played over and over in my head. A date with Cross. Except it hadn’t been about romance—it was about deals, danger, and the undeniable fact that my life was teetering on the edge of chaos.What had I been expecting going on a date with one hell of a street gang leader?No kiss goodbye. No lingering touches. Just the cold, hard truth that Kouvu wanted him dead and me as collateral damage.But wait, I was the one who walked away right?Stay.Now here I was wishing I stayed as I tickled my pussy with my fingers, wishing I had his cold, manly hands doing the job.“Ari!” I yelled to myself, trying to call myself back to reality. Don’t be stupid. You can do without Cross. You must learn to do without Cross. The future wasn’t so sure and anything could happen anytime.“Fuck!” I groaned in frustration. I should have just let him fuck me that one time.I got out of bed and trudged to the shower, mumbling under my bre

    Ari’s POVI was weak after the experience we had shared so Cross had to take me back home. It was past eight when we arrived in my house and we were both feeling sleepy. We awoke by midnight though. I for one could not sleep. My mind kept racing around, so many thoughts filled my head, but one in particular was constantly crashing with the others. Why him? I thought to myself. There are many other people I could be with but here I am with a rogue mafia who is a distant version of the man I envisioned in my life. Cross certainly acted nonchalant at times and that pissed me off or was it the fact that I didn't get romantic enough with him. I wanted someone loving and caring not the cold and hot bad boy I had in my bed. Was what I had for Cross love or addiction?“Hey what are you thinking about?” Cross interrupted. He must have caught me staring at the chandelier on the ceiling, zoned out. “Nothing.” I replied, purposely seeking out his attention.“Talk to me.” Cross said in a low

    Cross' POV I looked down, watching as Ari worked her mouth up and down my cock, her tongue swirling over the tip before sliding down the shaft.It was an intoxicating sight, and the feel of her lips wrapped around my dick, her mouth warm and wet, was almost too much to bear.I groaned, my hips rocking involuntarily, matching the rhythm of her mouth."Fuck," I growled, my cock twitching.I was close, the pressure building in my core as she sucked harder, her fingers digging into my thighs.I felt myself losing control, the urge to bury myself deep inside her and claim her mouth taking over.With a growl, I pushed her head down on my cock, filling her throat with it as I released everything into her. Ari gasped, her eyes wide, and the look of surprise mixed with shock made it even better for me.Thick hot ropes of cum flooded her throat and I felt her throat muscles clench around me in an effort to swallow all I could give.My hands slid down her cheeks and neck as my body tensed up a

    Ari's POV I let out a moan as his length filled me, stretching me. It was blissful and satisfying all at once. The feeling of being properly stretched, even to my limits, could be done by one person and one person alone, Cross. It was pure heaven and hell, the way he filled me, and the way he moved inside me.I was a writhing mess, my legs wrapped tightly around his waist, my fingers tangled in his hair. I couldn't get enough of him."Fuck," I gasped as he picked up his pace, pounding into me.He growled, his teeth grazing my neck. "You feel so good, Ari."I moaned, arching against him.His hands moved from my hips, sliding up my body and cupping my breasts, teasing and tweaking my nipples."Ah!" I cried out, overwhelmed by the pleasure."That's right," he said, his voice low and husky. "Scream for me."I couldn't hold back anymore, my orgasm building, threatening to crash over me soon."Cross," I gasped, my eyes closing as I got more lost in the pleasure."Yes," he hissed, his hips

    Ari's POVThe kiss was soft, gentle, and for a moment, I melted into it, savoring the feeling of his lips against mine. But as soon as the warmth spread through my body, I jerked back, breaking the contact.My hand came up to touch my lips, my mind spinning.Cross stared down at me, his eyes searching mine. I was about to say something when Cross, pulled me back again, his hands on my waist.My eyes widened as his lips crushed against mine once more. This time, there was nothing gentle about it. His tongue slid across my bottom lip, demanding entrance. I gasped, and his tongue slid into my mouth, tasting me. The kiss was rough, passionate, and I couldn't help but give in, kissing him back. My hands slid up his chest, and to his neck before finding themselves tangling in his hair.His grip tightened, and he kissed me deeper, his body pressed against mine. I let out a soft moan, unable to resist the heat of his touch.We stayed like that for a long moment, our bodies pressed together,

    Ari’s POVA week. A whole week of sitting idle while Jonathan was probably walking around acting like the victim.“Unbelievable,” I muttered, running a hand through my hair. This was the worst time for this to happen. I had a plan with Cross.I had a fucking plan!Of course, I couldn’t tell yet how it was going on Cross’ end. If he had not done anything about the move to bring Kouvu to a location, then it was better to even announce to him that I had been suspended and suspend the plans until further notice. I could not do anything when I was away from work.Fuck!I needed to reach out to Cross immediately. I was about to reach out for my phone when the chime of the phone broke through my spiralling thoughts. I picked it up, seeing a message from Cross.“Meet me. Usual spot. Tonight.”My lips pressed into a thin line. Speak of the devil.Of course, Cross would want to meet now. I considered ignoring it but knew that wasn’t an option. I threw on a hoodie, tugged it low over my face, a

    Ari’s POVThe shrill ring of my phone pulled me out of my light sleep. I groaned, fumbling for it on the nightstand. Kaelie’s name flashed on the screen.“Kaelie,” I said groggily, rubbing my eyes.“Morning, sleepyhead,” she chirped. Her tone was lighter than it had been the past few days, but there was still a tinge of hesitation.“Feeling better?” I asked, swinging my legs off the bed.“Yeah, much better,” she said. Then, after a pause, “I’ve been thinking, Ari. Maybe you should tell Jonathan what happened at the party.”I stiffened. “No. Absolutely not.”“Come on, Ari,” she pressed. “You need someone who can protect you. And let’s face it, Jonathan might—”“Kaelie, stop,” I cut her off, my tone sharp. “We agreed no one would know. And Jonathan? Protect me? He’s a weakling who couldn’t protect a damn thing, let alone me.”There was a silence on the line before Kaelie sighed. “Alright. I just thought…”“I know,” I said, softening my tone. “But trust me on this. It’s better if we keep

    Cross’ POV“Boss?” Gustav’s voice broke through the quiet as he stepped into the room.I looked up from the map spread across the table, my decision already made. “I’ve changed my mind.”Gustav stopped in his tracks, frowning. “About what?”“Dig into what happened at that party,” I said, standing straight. “I want every detail—who was there, what went down, and why there were gunshots.”Gustav hesitated. “I thought you said—”“I know what I said,” I interrupted sharply. “Just do it.”He nodded, not pushing further. “Consider it done.”As Gustav left, I leaned back in my chair, exhaling slowly. Something about last night didn’t sit right with me, and I wasn’t about to let it slide.The next step was Kouvu.I took a deep breath as the memories between I and Kouvu flooded into my head. We had history – true, and now, I will be selling him to the police like he was nothing to me. I sent out the message myself—no middlemen this time.Kouvu, It’s time we settle this. Face-to-face.

    Cross’ POVIt was as if with each day we met, Ari became more and more complex. Every moment was like unravelling another aspect of her that I never saw coming. The main question, though…What was the sudden change of mind?One moment, I was all she needed. I had my way in her bed as I wished, and she had opened up her heart and soul to me alone. Then I had called the date, and it seemed like realization just dawned on her.Now, I didn’t exist?As I walked away, choosing to tighten up my feelings as well, I knew within me that she was only trying to reinstate her dominion and make me understand that I wasn’t strong enough to overpower her. I knew how to play that part. I knew she needed me. So I was going to starve her as much as she starved me off her body. There was a part of me that wanted to go back to her, to pull her to me and devour her.But I didn’t.Instead, I turned and walked toward my car, my mind a storm of emotions I couldn’t control. She had this way of digging under m

    Ari’s POV The sunlight streaming through my blinds was unforgiving, and my head throbbed as I sat up in bed. My body felt heavy, the events of last night replaying in my mind like a fragmented reel. The music, the laughter, the chaos, and then—the gunshots, the chase. I groaned, pushing the covers off and dragging myself to the bathroom. The cool tiles against my bare feet jolted me awake as I turned on the shower. The water rushed through me, washing away the physical remnants of the night, but my mind lingered. First, I could still feel the sensation of the men around my body – men, whose names I didn’t even know. I was sure I would not be able to recognize their faces. Well, not all of them though. The black dude with the throbbing cock still rang in my head like I was back in the night. Just a couple of minutes with him and damn… Then Kaelie’s laughter and carefree attitude surfaced, contrasting sharply with the suited men who had prowled the party, their cold intent etched in
