Ari's POV

The 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 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

    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 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

    Ari's POV Cross and I lay on the bed exhausted, our bodies half covered with the sheets. For a moment we just stared at the ceiling, not uttering a word or flinching even at the slightest.Suddenly, I turned to him and met his gaze, the sheets roughly wrapped around my slender figure. "That was amazing, Cross," "Yeah, it was," he said.We smiled at each other and leaned in for a soft, gentle kiss.I had never seen this side of him before. Sweet and caring were the words I could use to describe him. Was this the real him? Did he always have this side or did he just do it to lure me into his game?Cross was an enigma.The only thing that was clear about him was the fact that he was a mafia boss. He had a strong presence that drew people in and made them curious about him, yet there was a dark aura around him, which also frightened people.And now, there was a new side of him. One I had never seen before. One that's sweet, kind, and caring."Greedy of me to ask for more after just now?

    Cross’ POVFreedom was close. I could almost taste it.I sat in the dark, my fingers drumming on the table in front of me. The air in the lair was heavy, the kind of stillness that made my men wary to even breathe too loud. Tonight, everything depended on Kouvu walking right into the trap I’d laid.And after we got Kouvu, I and Ari…I paused. Well, I had always been a pessimist. That’s why I always had my father’s cross around my neck…My hand traced over the necklace with a pendant of a cross. My father had called it a good luck charm. He knew quite well the type of son he had bore and knew just how negatively he viewed the world. That was why he gave me the cross. That was why I was called Cross.So that anytime I remembered the shape of the cross, I remembered that luck was on my side. And now, I would be needing all the luck I could get.“Gustav,” I called, not bothering to look up.He stepped forward, clearing his throat. “Yes, boss?”“Update.”He shifted uncomfortably. “Everythi

    Ari’s POVThe world felt like it was spinning too fast. Sirens blared, drowning out the sound of my pounding heart as Aaron was loaded into the ambulance. Blood seeped through his shirt, staining everything around him.“Hang on, Aaron,” I whispered, clutching his hand as I climbed in beside him.His breathing was shallow, his eyes fluttering open and shut. “This wasn’t… your fault, Ari,” he managed to say, his voice weak.Tears streamed down my face, but I forced myself to stay strong. “Don’t talk, Aaron. Just hold on. We’re almost there.”The ride to the hospital felt endless, and by the time we arrived, the paramedics were shouting medical jargon I barely understood. They rushed him through the doors, leaving me standing in the sterile, fluorescent-lit hallway, feeling utterly helpless.Gina arrived shortly after, along with a few other officers who’d been at the scene. The tension in the waiting room was palpable. No one spoke much, and the air was thick with worry.When the doctor

    Cross’ POVI sat in my car, staring at the steering wheel, my chest hollow. With everything that had happened, I wasn’t sure I was ready to look her in the face. What would she be feeling towards me? She would totally hate me already. I had not expected anything less.And I had gotten exactly what I had expected.I knew she was inside, and I could have chosen to sneak in like I always did but this was not the time to piss her off with the feeling that I was barging into her life as I pleased. I needed to approach her like every other person.And I did.I had expected her to turn me away, but who knew it would hurt so badly. My heart ached as I returned to the car, sensing the need to leave her presence as her anger towards me flared greatly. Her voice echoed in my mind.“All you’ve done since you came into my life is ruin it.”I had never felt this kind of pain before. Losing a deal, a battle, a friend—none of it compared to the ache of watching Ariana break down in front of me, of he

    Ari’s POVThe morning light streamed through my window, but it didn’t bring the usual promise of a fresh start. I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, my thoughts a whirlwind.To think Cross had the guts to show up again at my door.To hell with him!It was painful for even me to have to direct all the anger towards Cross. Still, who else was there to blame? He gave me a goddamned information without being sure!I wanted to call Kaelie, to tell her everything—about Aaron, the failure, the humiliation. But I stopped myself.“No,” I muttered, sitting up. “I can’t fall apart like this.”Kaelie didn’t need to be dragged into my mess. I needed to handle this on my own.After a quick shower and throwing on some jeans and a hoodie, I decided to visit Aaron in the hospital. The hospital was quieter than I expected, the sterile scent heavy in the air as I approached the front desk.“I’m here to see Aaron Briggs,” I told the nurse.She looked at her screen, then at me. “I’m sorry, but you’re not

    Ari’s POVI woke up to an empty bed.For a second, I thought I was dreaming. My hand stretched across the mattress, fingers grazing nothing but cold sheets. My eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the dim morning light seeping through my curtains. I sat up, blinking away the haze of sleep, scanning the room.Derek was gone.A strange feeling crept up my spine. I wasn’t entirely sure what had happened the night before. We had gone out for drinks, talked about everything and nothing at all, but beyond that?Again, it began to come together bit by bit - the surprise date, the beautiful dinner and then…Then…Did it happen? My memory was a blur. Not in a drunken, irresponsible way, but in a… murky kind of way. Like something was intentionally misplaced in my mind. I couldn’t exactly tell if we had done anything the previous night. Yes, Derek and I had history, but then…Things were different now.Anyway, I shook the thought away and got up, heading for the shower. ***At work, everything c

    Ari's Pov My days went back to normal. At least, as normal as they could be."Hey, Detective Walsh.""What are you doing after work today, Detective Walsh?""Have dinner with me, Detective Walsh."The guys from the station never gave up, and if I was being honest, their persistence was getting old.I shot them a tired smile. "Sorry. I have plans.""With Derek, I assume?" Turner said, his voice dripping with sarcasm."As a matter of fact, yes." I admitted, a small smile playing at the corner of my lips."Oooh, what do you guys have planned?" Gina perked up."He didn't say. Just that he wanted to see me." I shrugged. "And guys, no more questions okay? We've got work to do.""Whatever, Walsh." Turner chuckled. "Have fun on your date."I rolled my eyes. "It's not a date.""Whatever you say."I ignored him, focusing on the case file in front of me.As the day wore on, my curiosity grew even more. I wanted to know what Derek had planned? What surprised he was cooking this time, but as the

    Ari’s POVI didn’t realize how much my life was coming back together.The precinct was buzzing with energy by the time I arrived the next day. Officers clapped my back, voices overlapping in praise, and for once, I allowed myself to soak in the moment. "Damn, Walsh. You really pulled off a show back there!" one of the officers, Turner, whistled. "It was like something out of a damn movie."Gina grinned beside me. "You should've seen yourself, Ari. Flipping tables, dodging bullets, taking down those men like a goddamn superhero."I chuckled, shaking my head. "It wasn’t that dramatic."Turner scoffed. "Oh, please. You literally saved that guy—what’s his name? Derek? The one who kissed you?"I froze mid-step. Gina smirked. "Oh, we all saw it."I didn’t realize they were still hanging around that night.I groaned. "Great. So now my hero moment is overshadowed by that."Before anyone could continue their teasing, Lady Smith stepped in, arms crossed, a rare smirk tugging at her lips. "Det

    Ari’s POVI kept my breathing steady as I sat across from Derek, forcing a smile while my mind raced. Lady Smith’s voice had been firm in my earpiece—it’s time to move.I lifted my glass of wine, taking a slow sip, my heart pounding as I glanced at Derek. He was oblivious, still smiling, still thinking this was just another normal night. But I knew better.I had exactly one minute.Placing my glass down, I exhaled sharply. “I just need to use the restroom,” I said casually, already pushing my chair back.Derek raised an eyebrow. “You okay?”I nodded quickly. “Yeah. Just freshening up.”He didn’t seem convinced, but he nodded, returning his focus to his plate. I turned on my heels, making my way to the restroom, each step calculated. As soon as I stepped inside, I pressed my back against the door, inhaling sharply.Lady Smith’s voice came through my earpiece. “Five seconds.”I counted them down in my head.Then—chaos.Screams erupted. The unmistakable sound of tables being knocked over

    Ari's POVI wasn’t sure what I was supposed to say.Hi? Hello?I was never really such a social person. With my mood all damaged and my entire life still gluing itself bit by bit, I guess I was in a much worse state to relate with anyone.So, this was doomed to get awkward.I never expected to run into him again. The one-night stand from that wild, reckless night with Kaelie. Yet, there he was—standing before me, looking all casual, like we weren’t tangled up in something that should’ve been left in the past.“Didn’t think I’d see you again,” I said, folding my arms nervously. I forgot – that was the first rule of sparking conversations: don’t fold your arms to create a sense of security and blockage.He grinned, his deep brown eyes twinkling with amusement. “I was thinking the same thing.”We stood there for a moment, an odd silence stretching between us. Then he finally chuckled, breaking the tension. “So… how’ve you been?”I raised a brow. “You mean since that night?”He smirked. “

    Ari's POVThe walkie-talkie went static, then it glitched. I clicked the button, took it closer to my mouth, then I spoke. “This is Ari reporting. I’m proceeding into the tunnels already.”I waited until a signal came again. “Copy that. After you.”I proceeded inwards. The tunnels were damp, the air thick with the stench of rusted metal and stagnant water. Shadows stretched long against the curved walls, flickering under the dim beams of our flashlights. My grip tightened around my gun as I moved ahead, signaling the team to stay close. We had been tracking this deal for weeks, waiting for the right moment to strike, and now—Now was the time.A whispered command crackled through my earpiece. "Stay sharp, Detective Walsh. We move when you signal."I barely acknowledged the voice. My focus was on the figures up ahead. Three men stood beneath a single hanging light, exchanging words in hushed tones. A briefcase sat between them, slightly ajar, revealing stacks of money notes. The de

    Cross' POV I was breathless. Spent even. My body was limp and tired as I lay on the bed. The amount of willpower needed to hold back the urge to give in was tasking and after I did, I was still feeling the effect. I felt Mira's mouth coat my cock as she sucked and slurped hungrily on my cum. It had been way over a minute since she made me beg and since I came, and she was still sucking hard on my cock. Even though I was weak and tired, I felt my strength returning and I wasted no time in picking her up and falling her on the bed. "You'll pay for making me beg." I whispered as I leaned down to kiss her breasts and suck on her nipple. I didn't need to do much as my fingers trailed down her body and found her pussy. Bare, wet and dripping for me. I pushed a finger into her, causing her to gasp. She was so tight, and so wet, and the thought of fucking her made my cock stir. I moved my fingers slowl

    Mira's POVI stiffened for a moment when Cross uttered those words. My heart raced with mixed feelings, each one sending new sensation through my body.He needed me, at this moment, at this point. And I would be here for him.I kissed his back hungrily, my hands pulling off his shirt and kissing down his chest, trailing my tongue along the outline of his muscles.Cross watched as I undressed him, his eyes filled with want and desire, his breaths ragged.I continued to kiss him, kiss his muscles and leave marks on his firm body. My back curved as I buried myself in his scent, inhaling deeply and exhaling over his skin.Cross tried to push me onto the bed, but I refused, holding him down. I wanted this, wanted to be top now, I wanted to make him feel good.Hell, I needed his cock in me, and I needed to ride it hard and fast, make him beg me to stop.I looked up at him and saw his gaze fixed on me, hungry and needy. I smiled, my hands reaching down into his trouser and pulling it off alo

    Cross' POVAfter that day, I avoided Mira at every opportunity.I busied myself in the house, waking up early and returning late, spending the entire day outside if possible. Sometimes I would interact with the guards, ask them for some spar to keep my body in shape, help around with one or two little chores just so I wouldn't have to cross paths with her.And on occasions when I had no choice but to be in the same room as her, I kept my responses short, simple and indifferent.But regardless of how much distance I put between us, I could always feel her presence like a shadow stalking me.I knew she was frustrated.Most of the time I saw it in the way she clenched her fists whenever I walked away from a conversation or heard it in the sharpness of her voice when she spoke my name.But what was I supposed to do?Pretend that night meant nothing? Pretend that the moment I kissed her, the moment I touched her and had sex with her something inside me hadn’t cracked?I wouldn’t.And I sur
