Ari's POVDerek smirked at me before leaning down to press a kiss against the hollow of my throat."Yes?"I couldn't form a coherent sentence. All I could manage was a whimper as his tongue traced a path down my chest.I sucked in a deep breath as his lips found my nipples, his teeth grazing the sensitive flesh.It was almost too much.I gripped the sheets, my hips bucking as he continued his sensual assault."Derek... please," I managed to gasp out, my body aching with a need I'd never felt before.He looked up at me, his eyes full of lust and mischief."Please what?""I... I..." "If you want me to stop, just say the word, Ari."I wanted to talk, not to stop him, but to tell him how much I wanted him, needed him. But, no matter how hard I tried, no words came."You aren't saying anything, Ari. Talk to me. Should I?" He asked, his hands moving lower and tugging at the waistband of my pants.I lifted my hips to help him slide them down, revealing the lacy panties that hid my wetness.

Ari’s POVWhen he arrived to pick me up, I was surprised at how effortlessly charming he looked. His dark skin glowed. He was dressed in a simple, dark button-up shirt that fit him perfectly, his sleeves rolled up just enough to show the muscles in his forearms. His hair was tousled in that way that looked intentional, the kind of style that made you wonder if he’d spent hours in front of a mirror—or if it came naturally to him.“Ready?” he asked, his voice warm, but there was a softness to it that made my chest tighten. He extended his hand toward me, and I hesitated, just for a moment. My fingers brushed his, lingering there for a heartbeat longer than necessary.The touch felt different, like an unspoken promise, but I wasn’t ready to admit that yet.“Yeah,” I replied, swallowing the flutter in my throat. “Let’s go.”The restaurant he chose was one I’d never been to, nestled in a quiet corner of the city. When we entered, I felt the weight of his presence beside me in a way that bo

Cross’ POVI couldn't sit still.Every time my phone buzzed, my heart lurched, hoping it was Leo with an update. But each time, the message was the same—Ari hadn’t stepped out. It didn’t make sense. She was a detective, dedicated to her job. She should have left by now. Unless...I exhaled sharply, rubbing a hand over my face. Maybe she knew she was being watched. Maybe she was waiting for something. Or maybe—"Still nothing?" Gustav's voice pulled me from my spiraling thoughts.I shook my head. "Leo says she hasn’t left the apartment all day."Gustav leaned against the table, crossing his arms. "Then she knows. She’s smart, Cross. She’s not gonna make a move until she’s sure she’s safe."I clenched my jaw. I hated this. I hated that I had to watch her from a distance instead of being the one beside her. I hated that I had no idea what she was thinking, what she was feeling. Had she moved on? Was she still hurting? Did she still think about me the way I thought about her?Hours dragge

Ari’s POVThe past few days had been... peaceful.Maybe too peaceful.Derek made sure of it. He had been there at every turn—bringing me coffee in the mornings, texting me little jokes throughout the day, and surprising me with impromptu dinners when work got too stressful. His presence was warm, steady…And I was finally allowing myself to drift.It wasn’t that I had completely forgotten about Cross. It was impossible that love, pain, and everything in between. But I had stopped waiting for shadows to creep into my life, stopped expecting my past to reach out and claw me back.I was moving forward.At work, everything had settled into a comfortable rhythm. Gina and I had gotten back to our usual friendly banter, and it felt like the weight of unspoken words between us had finally lifted. This morning, we stood by the coffee machine, discussing an upcoming case.“You know,” Gina teased, smirking, “you actually seem... happy these days.”I raised an eyebrow at her over my coffee cup. “

Cross’ POVI wasn’t supposed to be here.I should’ve been gone—far away from this town, far away from her.Mira still checked up to know why I was yet to return as of yesterday.But I couldn’t leave.Not yet.Ariana was still here, still breathing the same air as me, still walking the same streets where we once held hands, fought battles, made love… And now, she was living a life that no longer included me.A better life.I had heard it all—how she was smiling again, how she was spending time with him. I hadn’t even seen the man, but Leo had done a good job in filling my ears. How she laughed with Gina at work, how she assured Aaron she had moved on.The words hit like bullets, each one tearing through me with a precision that only she could manage.But the worst part?I believed her.She really had let me go.And I was the fool still standing in her shadow.Every day, I kept Leo on her.He was my eyes, my ears. The only way I could stay close without her knowing.And every day, he ca

Ari’s POVI shut the door behind me, turning the locks with shaky fingers. My breaths came in quick, uneven gasps, my chest rising and falling in panicked rhythm.I was safe.For now.The night outside was still thick, heavy with the weight of something I couldn’t name. My body still hummed with the rush of adrenaline from the fight, from the chase, from the escape.Someone had been following me.And I had barely gotten away.I exhaled and pressed my forehead against the cool wood of the door, trying to steady myself. The house was quiet, the silence almost suffocating. My hands trembled as I reached for my phone.I scrolled through my contacts, my mind screaming for someone to call.Aaron.I hit dial.The phone barely rang twice before he picked up. “Ariana?” His voice was tight with concern. “It’s late. Are you okay?”I swallowed hard. “I think I’m being followed.”There was a sharp intake of breath on the other end. “What the hell? Where are you?”“I’m home. I just got in.”“Are yo

Ari's POVThe night stretched on, endless and suffocating. I lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling, unable to close my eyes for more than a few seconds without a wave of paranoia washing over me. My body was exhausted, but my mind refused to shut down. Every creak, every distant honk of a car outside sent a shiver down my spine. I could still feel the weight of what had happened—Kaelie missing, the attack at her house, and then…Cross.The name burned inside my head like fire. It wasn’t possible. It couldn’t be possible. He was dead. I had seen him buried… No, the body was “evidence.” But I had mourned him, shattered myself trying to move on. I had told myself a thousand times that he was gone. But tonight, he was there—flesh, blood, and rage. My rescuer. My nightmare. My ghost.Or was it him?Jeez… What was I doing to myself?A shuddering breath escaped my lips.Perhaps, I just needed to sleep and wake up and everything will be alright.But then I heard it.A noise. A faint rustling

Ari's POVThe taste of him was intoxicating.The way his tongue slid against mine, his teeth scraping across my lower lip.I didn’t realize that I was pressed up against the wall until his hand slid up the back of my shirt, fingers playing across the bare skin of my back.I gasped."Cross."His name slipped out. It felt like a plea. Or a prayer. But I didn't care.I didn't care at all what it meant or felt like.Right now, all that mattered was him and how he was making me feel.The way his lips were on mine.The way his body pressed against me.Cross's mouth moved to my neck, his teeth grazing over the sensitive skin. I arched into him, heat flooding through me as I have into my desires.It wasn't enough.It would never be enough. Not with Cross.I tugged at the hem of his shirt, my hands slipping underneath to touch the smooth, hard muscles beneath."Take it off," I breathed out, my voice thick with lust. Raw and heavy.Cross pulled back, a smirk on his lips."Are you sure?""Yes,"

Cross’ POVThe roar of the engine filled my ears as I sped down the deserted road, the air slashing across my face. My mind was a storm, thoughts slamming into each other. Ari was in trouble. I didn’t know where, I didn’t know how, but I could feel it. The moment I saw that unknown number flash on my screen, I knew. And when the call disconnected before a voice could even come through, I didn’t hesitate. With a flick of my wrist, I activated the tracker embedded in my device, hacking into the last known coordinates of the signal.The result made my blood run cold.A forest. The middle of nowhere. And a part of me already knew who had taken her.Jonathan.If Mira could have worked with someone… Could it be him?The bastard wasn’t dead. Not yet. But I was about to fix that.I pushed the bike harder, trees blurring past me in dark smudges. The location was getting closer, the beeping on my tracker speeding up. My gut clenched as a shadowy structure came into view. An uncompleted buildi

Ari’s POVI ran.Blindly. Desperately. My breath came in ragged gasps, my legs screaming for rest, but I didn't dare stop. What I didn’t expect outside the building was a stretch of green - the woods…I cursed.Behind me, his voice slithered through the trees, taunting, sing-song, twisted in its mockery."Ari, come out, come out wherever you are…"A shudder ripped through me. He was enjoying this. The chase. The fear. The sheer power he had over me.I pushed forward, stumbling over uneven ground. My body ached, but I forced myself onward, lungs burning, heart hammering against my ribs. If I stopped, I was dead.Up ahead, a fallen tree loomed. I dropped to my knees, crawling underneath, pressing myself against the damp earth. I clenched my fists, holding my breath. Maybe, just maybe, I could disappear into the shadows.The silence stretched.Then—a hand clamped around my ankle.A scream tore from my throat as I was yanked backward, my nails clawing at the ground, grasping for anything

Ariana’s POVDarkness.It was thick, suffocating, pressing against me like a second skin.My wrists burned from the restraints, bound so tightly I could feel the circulation slowing. My ankles were the same—tied, restrained, useless. My breath was uneven, a mix of panic and frustration, chest rising and falling against the gag tied around my mouth.I tried to move. Failed.I tried again, twisting my body, but all it did was send a sharp pain shooting through my shoulders.Where the hell was I?The last thing I remembered was stepping into my apartment. Then—darkness.Now I was here.And I wasn’t alone.A noise—a rustling, a whimper—echoed through the blackness.Then, a voice. Weak. Trembling. Familiar.“…Ari?”My body froze.That voice.That broken, barely-there whisper.Kaelie.My head snapped toward the sound, my eyes adjusting to the dimness of what little light seeped through the cracks of wherever the fuck we were.And then—I saw her.Tied. Beaten. Bloody.She was slumped against

Cross’ POVAs I ran through to the car, I already spotted what was coming. If Mira already knew about Ari, she had definitely told the Don, and the Don was already in the picture. If the Don was in the picture, they were coming for me. I and the Don had made an agreement, and that was to stay faithful to Mira.That agreement was broken.In no time, the Don’s men would be here.The air was thick with gasoline and sweat as I slipped into the car. My fingers tightened around the steering wheel as I reached for my phone, barely suppressing the rush of adrenaline flooding my veins.The Don may be on me, but I also had my plans.And it was time to put it in motion.The call rang once before Gustav answered.“It’s time.”There was no hesitation. No questions. Only a sharp exhale from the other end of the line before the call cut off.And then—The roar of engines.Headlights flared in the distance, then multiplied like wildfire. The Don’s men poured in from every alley, every street, surroun

Cross’ POVThe city streets were still drenched in the silence of the early morning when I arrived at the hideout. My body ached from exhaustion, but my mind was sharper than ever.Leo was dead.That truth weighed on me like chains, heavy and unrelenting. I had spent years crawling out of the grave only to return and find the ones I left behind buried instead.Leo should have been here. Laughing. Drinking. Breathing.Instead, we were about to put him in the ground.I entered the dimly lit warehouse, my boots echoing against the cold concrete. Gustav was already there, leaning against a wooden crate, a cigarette burning low between his fingers.He looked up at me, his sharp eyes unreadable. "You're back."I nodded. "Get the men ready. We're taking Leo home."Gustav exhaled a cloud of smoke before flicking the cigarette away. “Took you long enough, boss. I gat you, anyway.” he muttered, pushing off the crate. “I’ll round them up.”Within minutes, my men—Leo’s men—our family—began to gat

Ari's POVThe world was still wrapped in the quiet, heavy embrace of the early morning when I stirred. My body felt warm, blanketed by the remnants of a presence so familiar yet so distant that, for a moment, I thought I was still dreaming.And then I felt it.A slow, steady breath against my neck.The warmth of a body pressed against mine.An arm lazily draped over my waist.Reality settled in.I didn't dare move—not yet. I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, my heart swelling, aching, twisting. He was here. Cross was here. Alive. In my bed.The night had been a storm of emotions, fists, accusations, and unbridled relief. And now, here we were, tangled in the stillness, as if the world hadn’t turned upside down just hours ago.Slowly, I turned my head, and there he was.Cross.His face, barely inches from mine, softened in sleep. His long lashes cast faint shadows on his sharp cheekbones, his lips slightly parted, chest rising and falling in a rhythm that had once been the most c

Ari's POVOnce we reached the bed, he pushed me down before pulling his trouser and boxer off, and then climbing on top of me, his hard length rubbing against my thigh."Spread your legs for me." Cross ordered, his eyes locked on mine as he waited for me to comply.I obeyed, opening my legs wide, exposing my pussy to him.He reached down and ran his finger over my folds, his cock twitching when he saw how wet I was."You're dripping." He smiled, bringing his fingers to his mouth and he licked them clean.He leaned forward, his face only inches from mine. "Are you ready for me, Ari?""Yes," I gasped, my body aching for him.Cross grinned and gripped his cock, he slid the tip along my folds, teasing me to further wetness before pushing himself inside me, his eyes closing and his face tightening as he felt me wrap around his cock."So tight," he groaned. "And so wet.""Yeah." I cried out, arching my back as he started thrusting.His thrusts were slow and steady at first, but they gradual
