Ari’s POV

My 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 POVAs I continued down the road, evening slowly closing in, I remembered the stash of funds again and Bruno crossed my mind.Another reminder to stay away from Cross. But even as the thought came, something poked at my insides, almost like a reminder that I was lying to myself. I really hoped I wasn’t.For now, I needed to head home and get the cash to the bank to wire it back to Kaelie. No way I was going to see her with the debt hanging over my head.The apartment came first, and I simply took the little bag of money before locking my door behind me and securing the key. The bank wasn’t far from my apartment, and the sooner I got this over with, the better. The whole thing with Bruno still gnawed at me, but I told myself it was done. He’d been foolish, and now I just had to focus on keeping Kaelie out of it.The transaction was quick, though the clerk gave me a curious look when I deposited the money. I ignored it, silently wiring the amount to Kaelie’s account and walking ou

    Ari’s POV“We are almost there.” Kaelie said, as we both walked through a narrow passage leading straight into a walkway. There were trimmed long bushes at each side, making it impossible to see beyond them. Kaelie seemed to be familiar with this maze. I crept close to her giggling, anxiously waiting for what was next. “Behold, alas.” Kaelie exclaimed, excitedly waving her hands as she pointed her index finger, guiding my eyes toward a building. Beneath the soft glow of the moon, a house stood at the end, its silhouette inviting. “What exactly are we doing, Kaelie?” I couldn’t lie; the thrill was exhilarating. Something in me was coming alive - the mischief of being younger.“Sshh!” She hushed as she urged me onwards. I stopped, taking another close look at the domineering building, wondering what waited for me inside.“What are you waiting for?” Kaelie giggled. She must’ve been waiting for me while I zoned out. “Come on, you would love it.” Kaelie gestured to me to come forward.

    Ari's POVA wave of anticipation washed over me as we approached the first curtain. I could feel my body tingling with excitement, and my heart began to race. We drew closer and then pushed the curtains aside, revealing a group of people in a darkened room. The space was filled with sensuous bodies moving together in a slow and hypnotic rhythm. There were no words to describe the feeling of being here.A woman in a leather corset and fishnet stockings straddled a man on the couch. She looked beautiful and powerful as she rocked her hips in time with the music. The sight was mesmerizing, and I couldn't help but watch as she threw her head back, lost in the moment.Looking close to them, a man and a woman, completely nude, danced sensuously on a table.

    Ari's POVI moaned, arching my back and reaching out to grab a fistful of his hair, which only spurred him on as he hummed, sending vibrations through me that made me gasp. He continued trailing lines along my folds with his tongue as if trying to properly wet them with his saliva before diving in.He had his mouth completely covering my entire pussy, licking and sucking on my clit, lapping up all the juices."Fuck, yes," I cried out, throwing my head back. I could feel his tongue darting inside me, sending waves of ecstasy throughout my body. My mind was swimming with pleasure, and all I could do was grip the armrests and enjoy the ride."Ahh, ahhh, keep going" I moaned, opening my legs up for him to have more access."Don't tell me you're close already?" he asked teasingly, his mouth still buried between my thighs.I couldn't find words to respond to him but instead, I move my hip closer to him, seeking more from his skillfull mouth.

    Ari’s POVI let the party linger on for a moment, awakening my inner mischief, happy to know I was free in this world to explore my womanhood the way I wanted without anyone having to judge. No one here knew I was a policewoman, or that I hunted bad guys during the day and no one cared to know what I looked like or if we knew each other from the outside world.Everything here was just about fun and that’s all we were having!I took a couple of more shots of alcohol, hoping to drown out my entire consciousness and lose every guilt. The sight and sounds of people moaning kept playing with my hormones. I still wanted a part of this.Kaelie on the other hand was yet to take the slightest break in her already found good spot. I watched as she kissed a guy who in return kissed her. They both went back and forth kissing each other. Suddenly it went bizarre. Kaelie was also making out with a girl beside her.

    Ari’s POVThe party was still in full swing—music blasting, bodies swaying, laughter and moans mixing into the chaos. The two dudes from earlier had cummed away and I could still spot them, sleeping lazily on a couch, some weak girls dangling their flaccid dicks.The black one was nowhere in sight.As for me, I just needed a break. It was one hell of a mesmerizing night indeed and I had zero regret getting everything Cross couldn’t give me somewhere else.Because I definitely wasn’t going to let him make me beg for him.On the contrary, I was going to be the one to punish him… to starve him!I relaxed calmly just as my eyes caught a flash of black suits weaving through the crowd, their movements too deliberate to belong to the partygoers.I frowned, sitting up straighter. My instincts, dulled slightly by the alcohol, started to sharpen. These men weren’t here to party.I swallowed.What exactly was going on?“Kaelie,” I said, reaching for her arm. She was still lost in the moment, her

    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
