Under His Command Mending More Than Wounds
Riley’s POVI watched in horror as Eric was tossed ruthlessly into the street by Jaxon’s bodyguards. Their movements were precise, almost mechanical, as if this kind of situation was just another day at work for them. Eric landed on the sidewalk with a loud grunt, his hands instinctively bracing himself against the fall. “Eric!” Chloe cried, already rushing forward before I could even move. My feet followed hers automatically, my heart pounding with a mix of anger and fear. By the time we reached him, Eric was already sitting up, rubbing his shoulder and wincing. “What the hell were you thinking?” Chloe demanded, her voice trembling. “Do you have any idea what you’ve just done?” Eric looked up at her, his expression defiant yet tinged with regret. “I was thinking that someone needed to put Jaxon in his place,” he muttered. “Are you insane?” I snapped, crouching beside him. “Do you realize who you just punched? He’s not just some regular boss, Eric! He’s ruthless, he doesn

Riley’s POVThe weight of the day hung heavily on my shoulders as I stepped out of the building with Chloe by my side. The setting sun cast long shadows across the parking lot, but the air still hummed with the tension from everything that had happened. Today was one of those days I was literally praying would end as quickly as possible, and now that my prayers were answered, I couldn't wait to be far away from here.“I don’t even know where to begin,” Chloe said, her voice filled with tiredness due to how chaotic the day had been. “What kind of day was this, Riley? First Arthur Steele, then Jaxon, and now Eric getting thrown out like some criminal. It’s like we’re stuck in some bizarre soap opera.” I couldn’t help but chuckle at her dramatics, though her words rang true. She wasn't too far from the truth.“You’re telling me. I thought dealing with Jaxon was hard enough on a regular day, but this? This is next-level insanity" I replied as I ran my hand tiredly through my hair.Chl

Jaxon’s POVThe moment I had seen Riley standing by Eric’s car, my jaw tightened, and a slow burn of irritation crept through me. The day had already been taxing enough with my father's outburst and Eric’s stupidity. Now, this? It was the last thing I needed. Eric’s smug expression was the first thing I noticed as I approached. His arms were crossed, and he leaned casually against the car as if he owned the world. The arrogance in his posture made my teeth grind. Riley, on the other hand, looked nervous. His eyes darted toward me, wide with concern. I could tell he was trying to figure out how to defuse whatever was about to happen, but I wasn’t in the mood for diplomacy. “Jaxon,” Riley started, stepping forward as if to intercept me. “Can we just—” I raised a hand, silencing him without a word. My gaze was fixed on Eric. I didn’t need to hear whatever excuse Riley was about to offer. My attention was solely on the man who thought he could challenge me and get away with it.

Riley's POVThe atmosphere inside Jaxon’s sleek, luxurious car was suffocating, though the silence was deafening. My arms were crossed tightly over my chest as I stared out the window, my jaw clenched so hard it hurt. I couldn’t even look at him. The anger bubbling inside me wasn’t something I could push down or ignore. It was too raw, too fresh. Every time I thought about the way Jaxon’s bodyguards had descended on Eric, the sound of their fists connecting with his body, the smug satisfaction on Jaxon’s face... I felt sick. How could he do that? How could he just sit there, so unaffected, while someone else was in pain? Worse, he had dragged me away when all I wanted to do was help Eric. “Riley,” Jaxon’s deep, calm voice cut through the silence like a blade, “you’ve been quiet for far too long. Say something.” Say something? What could I even say to someone like him? I gritted my teeth, refusing to answer. Jaxon sighed, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw him glance at
Last Updated : 2024-12-06Under His Command The Intruder
Jaxon's POVRiley walked a step behind me, his arms crossed tightly over his chest as we made our way up the curved stone path toward the mansion. His anger radiated off him in waves, practically crackling in the cool night air. Not that I cared. He didn’t want to be here—that much was painfully obvious—but I wasn’t about to let his mood ruin mine. He would thank me eventually. Maybe. It would take sometime for him to cool down but I was ready to wait, after all, we had all night.“You can drop the sulking act anytime now,” I said over my shoulder, flashing him a smirk. “Go to hell, Jaxon,” Riley muttered, his words sharp enough to cut. I stopped abruptly, turning to face him. His defiance, his refusal to back down, sent an inexplicable thrill through me. “What’s the matter? Still mad about your little boyfriend Eric? Just get over it and live in the now instead of dwelling in the past. It's the best thing for you to do right now so you can stop frowning before you go ahead

Riley’s POVThe kitchen felt suffocating, a bizarre mix of warmth from the food cooking and the chill that Arthur Steele brought with him. It was surreal—watching the same man who had humiliated me earlier in the day move with ease and precision as he cooked dinner in Jaxon’s mansion, wearing an apron like some good father. But Arthur Steele was anything but harmless. Every movement, every word, dripped with control and superiority. He radiated power, even here in the most mundane of settings, and I couldn’t shake the knot tightening in my stomach. Arthur’s eyes flicked toward me occasionally, a glint of amusement dancing in them like a predator sizing up its prey. When he spoke, his tone was light, conversational even, but there was a sharpness to it that made my skin crawl. “So,” Arthur said, breaking the silence as he stirred a pot of something that smelled far too inviting for someone as uninviting as him. “You and Jaxon came home together. How... cozy.” I stiffened, m

Jaxon’s POVThe dining room felt like an arena as I entered, the air heavy with unspoken tension. My father stood at the head of the table, arranging a spread of food with an air of authority that turned even the simple act of serving into an assertion of dominance. Riley sat stiffly on one side, his unease practically radiating from him. His eyes darted between my father and the food, as though he wasn’t sure if it was safe to touch anything in the presence of a man like Arthur Steele. “Ah, there he is,” my father said with exaggerated cheer, straightening up as I walked in. “The prodigal son joins us.” I ignored his mocking tone and dropped into the chair across from Riley. “Cut the act, father,” I said sharply. “We both know you’re not fooling anyone with this whole ‘family man’ routine.” Arthur raised an eyebrow as he began placing food onto the plates, his movements calm and deliberate. “And what act would that be, Jaxon?” “The one where you pretend you’re not the sam

Riley’s POVI couldn’t move. For a long moment, the only sound in the room was my own shallow breathing, mixed with the faint hum of the chandelier above us. My eyes were locked on Jaxon, whose head was still tilted slightly from the force of his father’s punch.What the hell had I just witnessed? Arthur’s voice cut through the silence, sharp and commanding as ever. “You think you can speak to me like that, Jaxon? After everything I’ve done for you? I should’ve known better than to expect gratitude from you, but I didn’t think even you would sink this low.” Jaxon turned his head slowly, his dark eyes blazing with fury. He took a step toward his father, his entire body radiating rage. For a second, I thought he was going to let it go. Then his hands turned into fists, and I realized with a jolt of panic that he wasn’t. “Jaxon, don’t!” I shouted, stepping between them just as Jaxon’s arm pulled back. My hands shot out, pressing firmly against his chest to stop him. He was

Under His Command A Night of Passion and Promise
Riley's POV The car came to a smooth halt in front of the restaurant, its glowing elegance an extravagant display of glass and lights. The sheer elegance of the building was enough to make anyone feel out of place, but I was used to this now—Jaxon’s world of wealth and sophistication had become familiar territory. Before I could reach for the door handle, it swung open, revealing one of Jaxon’s bodyguards standing tall and imposing. His movements were precise, almost rehearsed, as he stepped aside to let me out. “Thank you,” I said politely, stepping onto the almost busy driveway. “Please let the driver know to stay ready. I won’t be too long.” The bodyguard nodded respectfully, his deep voice steady. “Understood, Mr. Matthews" he said.I adjusted my jacket, smoothing down the runples and took a moment to take in the sight of the restaurant. The evening air was delicious, the faint scent of sweet and expensive perfume being carried through the breeze. A valet hurried past,
Under His Command Awakening to Love
Jaxon's POV The first thing I became aware of was a soft, persistent voice pulling me from the suffocating depths of unconsciousness. It wasn’t sharp or startling, but it was there—gentle and warm, like a light tug at the edges of my mind. “Jaxon… Come on, Jaxon. It’s time to wake up now.” Alexis. I’d recognize her voice anywhere, even in this hazy void. She was the only one that could annoy me to wake up.I tried to respond, to open my eyes, but my body felt like it was filled with something heavy.My limbs were tight, my chest tight, and even my eyelids refused to cooperate. Still, her voice didn’t falter. “You’re stronger than this,” she said, her tone firm but encouraging. “Riley needs you, Jaxon. We all do. So, wake up already!” That name—Riley. It sparked something in me, like a fire lighting in full force.Slowly, painfully, I willed my eyelids to move. The room around me came into focus, and the first thing I saw was Alexis’s face hovering above mine, her eyes wide
Under His Command Unshakable Love
Riley's POVThe quiet of my apartment was a welcome change after the constant hum of the hospital. I didn't have to deal with the relentless beeping of the machines connected to Jaxon and I have to admit, I felt relived that I didn't have to listen to it, even if for just a few moments.It honestly wasn't easy living without Jaxon and I couldn't believe I had become so close to him, so much that I couldn't imagine how my life would have been if we never met.I guess that's what happens with someone takes a bullet for you.I set my bag down and pulled out my phone, intending to check the time, but a text notification caught my eye. It was from Chloe. "Hey, Riley. How’s Jaxon doing?" She asked and I could feel her concern just from reading her short message.I sighed, my fingers hovering over the keyboard before I finally typed out a response. "He’s still in the coma. The doctors don’t know when or if he’ll wake up" I replied, almost feeling like these words have become some kind of
Under His Command The Wait
Riley's POVThe steady hum of the machines filled the hospital room, a cruel reminder of Jaxon's fragile state. I sat beside his bed, my fingers holding his hand tightly, as if my touch could somehow bring him back to me. I couldn't deny it, I was actually hoping something like that would happen and finally end this nightmare once and for all.His face was pale, almost as pale as the clean hospital sheets, and the rhythmic beeping of the monitor was the only sign that life still flowed within him. It had been weeks—weeks since he’d taken that bullet meant for me, weeks since he’d fallen into this coma, and weeks since my entire world had come to revolve around this quiet, suffocating room. I sighed, brushing a stray strand of hair from his forehead. “Jaxon,” I whispered, my voice barely audible over the machines. “You have to wake up. Please. I don’t know how much longer I can do this without you.” There was no response, just the rise and fall of his chest, fixed and unchangin
Under His Command Hold On To Me
Riley's POV The moment Jaxon hit the floor, my entire world shattered. I pleaded with him not to go into the light but as I knelt beside him, I could feel his life draining slowly.“Jaxon please don't leave me!” I screamed, holding his head and trying to get him to stay awake. His shirt was soaked with blood, the red stain spreading fast across his chest. My hands trembled as I pressed down on the wound, desperate to stop the bleeding. His eyes fluttered open for a moment, glazed with pain, and he gave me the faintest smile. “Riley…” “Don’t you dare,” I said, my voice breaking. “Don’t you dare leave me, Jaxon. Stay with me.” His breath hitched, shallow and ragged, as blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. I pressed harder on the wound, my hands slick with his blood. The warm, sticky sensation made my stomach churn, but I couldn’t afford to think about that now. Arthur stood a few feet away, his face pale and eyes wide with disbelief. He stared at Jaxon as though u
Under His Command Shots Fired
Jaxon's POV The world seemed to tilt on its axis the moment my father pulled the gun from his jacket. Since when did my father carry a gun? This was entirely new to me and I tried my best to process fast what exactly I was stsriiat: the barrel of a loaded gun.Growing up, I have always looked at my father as a man of power, control, and manipulation. He didn’t need weapons—his words alone had the sharpness of blades. But there he was, holding a gun, his face twisted in fury, and the cold metal glinting under the dim light. “Drop the gun, Dad,” I said, my voice calm despite the storm of emotions raging inside me. “This isn’t you. This isn’t how we do things.” His grip tightened around the gun, his knuckles white. “Don’t lecture me, Jaxon. You have no idea what I’m capable of.” Riley’s voice trembled behind me. “Arthur, please… put the gun down. You don’t need to do this.” Arthur’s eyes darted to Riley, his hatred so palpable it felt like a physical force in the room. “Y
Under His Command Tipping Point
Riley's POV The air in the room was suffocating, thick with tension and the undeniable scent of danger. My chest tightened as I glanced around, the four guards surrounding us like wolves circling their prey. My hands trembled, and my legs felt like they might give out at any moment. I had faced enough trials in one day and I was already too tired to even continue another confrontation.I instinctively grabbed hold of the back of Jaxon's shirt as I leaned in closer to him, feeling the intimidating stares from the bodyguards that surrounded us with their huge, muscular bodies."Don't worry, Riley. I've got you. I'll keep you safe" I heard Jaxon say despite the huge amount of tension he was under.I looked at Jaxon as he remained standing in front of me, his broad shoulders squared and his head held high. His body was a solid wall of defiance and determination, shielding me from the menacing gazes of the guards. Although I could feel his intention to protect me, I could tell our s
Under His Command Infiltration
Jaxon's POV The cold night air felt sharp against my skin as I parked my car far from the house and stepped into the shadows. I kept my eyes on the road ahead to make sure I was a safe distance from where Riley was being held by my father.I checked my phone once again to make sure the tracker signaling Riley was still up ahead was still working despite being a considerably distance from town.I sent Chloe a text, updating her of where I've gotten and told her to be on standby because I had a feeling I might need her.I couldn't tell just how this rescue operation might go and I didn't want to take the risk of putting Riley's life in more danger than it already was.The safe house stood in the distance, surrounded by tall trees and an eerie silence that settled heavily in the atmosphere that almost made me shudder.I took quiet steps as I surveyed the environment to look for a good entry point where I was sure I won't be seen or detected by my father's goons.Thanks to all the James
Under His Command A Dinner of Negotiations
Riley's POV I laid on the bed, staring at the ceiling, my fingers brushing against the worn fabric of the blanket beneath me. My mind churned as I tried to piece together where I was and why Arthur Steele would have a place like this. Arthur didn’t seem like the type to hide away in secret locations. He was a man who dominated every room he entered, a master manipulator who controlled people and situations with ruthless efficiency. So why have a place like this? And more importantly, why bring me here? I rubbed my temples, the silence of the room amplifying the questions in my head. My thoughts spiraled, shifting to Jaxon. Was he looking for me? Did he know where I was? The idea that he might be out there, searching for me, gave me a small sliver of hope. My train of thought was interrupted by the abrupt sound of the door unlocking. I sat up, heart pounding, as one of Arthur’s bodyguards entered the room. He was the taller of the two, the one with the annoyed face.He thre
