They Know What She Wants

Gage didn’t make a habit of denying himself anything.
If he wanted something… anything, he’d claw his way to get it, consequences be damned.
But her? Thea?
She was the only goddamn exception.
Off-limits. Untouchable. A tempting little toy he had no right to shatter, yet that only made him itch to wrap his hands around her and play until she begged.
For months, he’d fought the urge, keeping his distance but fate, the-smug-bastard, threw her to him and he, being the despicable-asshole he was, couldn’t say no.
She’d walked into his life on his son’s arm, but that wasn’t an issue.
Because he’d take her anyway.
Steal her. Ruin her for anyone else. And keep her pinned beneath him for as long as it took to satisfy the hunger that’d been gnawing at him for months.
THEA
~
I kept hoping my boyfriend would look at me. Just once. Just enough to feel like I still mattered.
But he never did.
So I went looking for attention elsewhere… and somehow, “elsewhere” turned out to be his father.
Gage.
The man I should’ve stayed the hell away from.
Gage wasn’t gentle, and he sure wasn’t safe, but he saw me and looked at me the way his son never did. And the moment I stepped toward him instead of away, I knew I’d crossed a line I couldn’t come back from.
It was wrong. Forbidden. A disaster begging to happen.
And yet… standing there in front of him, lonely and stupidly hopeful, I lean into the warmth he gave so easily, the attention he offered like it cost him nothing.
I should’ve walked away.
But I didn’t.
And neither did he.

Chapter: CHAPTER 480: Everything!I woke up slowly, disoriented, my whole body aching in a way that took me a second to place. Sunlight filtered through the curtains, and the first thing I noticed was that I was clean, dressed in one of Noah's shirts that was far too big on me, the sleeves swallowing my hands whole, slipping off one shoulder, the fabric soft and worn and smelling distinctly like him. Someone had clearly cleaned and dressed me up in while I was out, which meant—My face heated instantly at the realization."You're awake."I turned my head and found Noah propped up beside me, already watching me with that familiar smirk tugging at his mouth."Are you okay?" he asked, and there was genuine concern threaded under the teasing, his hand reaching over to brush a strand of hair off my face.I groaned, pressing my face into the pillow instead of answering. Every muscle in my body ached in ways I'd never experienced before, a dull, persistent soreness that made even shifting positions feel like a chore."No, e

Chapter: CHAPTER 479: Hm? Speak UpI was still trembling and my body felt wrung out and oversensitive, and part of me wanted to tell him I couldn’t, that I was done, that I needed a second. But the way he was looking at me, the way his thumb kept stroking my cheek like he was proud of me for even still being here, made the words stick in my throat.And I found myself nodding. I must have really lost my mind.He beamed and rewarded me with a kiss.It was slower than the ones before, deeper, his mouth moving against mine while he kept one hand on my face and the other still holding my leg open. I could taste myself on his tongue and slowly, my hands found his shoulders again. When he finally pulled back, his forehead rested against mine for a second, both of us breathing hard.“Thats my good girl,” he murmured.Then turned me over.One of his hands was on my hip, the other guiding me onto my stomach, and then he pulled my hips up until I was on my knees, face pressed into the sheets. I barely had time to brace myself

Chapter: CHAPTER 478: You’re Already Doing So WellWhen he pulled his fingers out, the loss of them made me whimper as my thighs trembled and without looking away from me for a moment, he reached for the nightstand drawer and the sound of the foil tearing was loud in the quiet room. I watched him roll the condom on, the metal of the piercing disappearing under the latex, and my stomach tightened all over again.Then he settled between my legs, one hand braced beside my head, while the other guided him against me. My hands found his shoulders, nails already digging in as he pushed in.The stretch was fucking overwhelming. Even with how wet I was, and how he fucked me with his his fingers, the size of him was still a lot to take in.But he kept sinking deeper, inch by inch without stopping, then bottomed out with a muttered curse, his forehead dropping to mine as my back arched off the bed in a breathless gasp.“Fuck,” he groaned. “You’re so fucking tight.”He stayed there for a second, letting me adjust, and I could feel the way he

I quickly wrapped my arms around him as the water streamed off both of us while he stepped over the edge of the tub and carried me straight into the bedroom, dripping across the floor, and I barely had time to register the cooler air on my skin before he dropped me onto the mattress. The sheets stuck to my wet back.“Noah…” I pushed up on my elbows, still catching my breath, and he was already there, one knee on the bed, water still running down his chest and stomach.“God help me, Saraphina, I’ve been trying so goddamn hard,” he let out, his voice low and rough as he crawled over me. “Do you understand?” His hand found my breast, and his thumb dragged over my nipple until it tightened under his touch. I took in a sharp breath. “Weeks of you walking around this fucking place in those tiny-ass shorts, looking at me like you damn well wanted me to do something, but I

Chapter: CHAPTER 476: You Good?His grip stayed tight enough that I could feel the tension in his fingers, the way his thumb pressed into the inside of my arm like he was still deciding whether to stop me or not. I, on the other hand, didn’t wait for him to make up his mind. Nope. Not taking that risk. So I stroked him again, letting my fingers slide the length of him under the water, and the sound that left him was barely there, just a rough exhale through his nose that he tried to swallow before it got out. He tipped his head back against the rim of the tub, eyes half-closed, jaw clenched hard enough that I could see the muscle jump under the stubble. Every time my hand moved he shifted, just a little, like he was fighting the urge to push into it. The piercing dragged against my palm when I tightened my grip at the tip, and his stomach flexed. I could see how hard he was trying to stay still, and completely failing at it. Was it crazy that I found that cute? Yeah… I’ve probably lost my mind. A drop

Chapter: CHAPTER 475: HelpingI was also kind of stumped because I too never thought of myself as someone who makes the first move. Still, it was super clear he wasn't taking me seriously anyway.Steam curled between us, catching on the damp strands of hair stuck to his neck, and I could feel the heat of him even through the water. My face was still burning but I managed to shrug, trying to make it look casual even though my pulse was pounding stupid under my skin. “I just want to help.”His brow lifted, and the corner of his mouth twitched. “Help?”“Yes.” I reached for the washcloth he’d left on the edge of the tub and held it up between us, water dripping from the corner of it onto my wrist. “I want to wash you.”He laughed under his breath, and the sound of it moved through the small space. “You’re full of shit.”“I’m not.”“Mhm.” He leaned his head back against the rim again, but his eyes stayed on me, half-lidded and amused. “Go ahead, then.

He’ll want answers. He’ll want to know who did this, what happened, why you were taken. And then he’ll find out about me.

Chapter: CHAPTER 242: What?He was on his hands and knees, completely naked, chest heaving. His skin was covered in sweat and streaks of blood, his glasses gone and his hair a mess. And he was shaking so hard I could see it from where I was tied up. For a long second, neither of us moved. I just stared at him, mouth open, tears still dripping off my chin. My brain felt like it had short-circuited. The guy who had been living in my house. The guy I slapped in the hallway. The guy who left food for me every night even when I treated him like shit. That same guy had just turned into a seven-foot monster, torn two kidnappers apart, and then shifted back right in front of me. “Miles…?” I whispered, voice hoarse and shaking. He slowly lifted his head and looked at me. His eyes were still glowing faintly, that unnatural light burned behind his irises like embers that hadn’t fully died out. When he spoke, his voice was still thick with that deep, animalistic growl, like the monster hadn’t completely let go of him

My breath caught in my throat.“No…” I whispered, voice cracking. “No, no, no—stay the fuck away from me—”It kept coming.I started struggling hard against the ropes, twisting and yanking even though it only made them cut deeper into my wrists. Panic exploded in my chest like a bomb.“Stay back!” I screamed. “Don’t fucking come near me! Stay away!”The monster didn’t stop. It kept walking until it was only a few feet away. A broken, terrified sound tore out of me as I pressed myself back against the cold metal beam as hard as I could, like I could disappear into it.“Get away from me!” I screamed again, voice cracking into a high, panicked wail.

The cold had sunk so deep into my bones that I stopped feeling my fingers. My wrists were raw from the rope, and every time I shifted even a little, the fibers burned deeper into my skin. My face throbbed where he’d kicked me, and blood had dried on my chin and the side of my neck. I kept my head down, staring at the dirty concrete, letting the tears fall quietly because there was nothing else I could do.The men didn’t talk much after that. They checked their phones obsessively, pacing around the empty warehouse. Every few minutes one of them would curse under his breath and try calling that mysterious agent again.

The second guy stood up and I could hear his boots scraping closer across the floor.“She’s awake,” he said flatly. A hand shot out, grabbed my chin roughly and yanked my head up, a small, broken escaping my throat. My eyes flew open on instinct, meeting the face of the man in front of me. He was older, maybe in his forties, with a scarred lip.

I walked straight to the old garden shed at the far end of the property. My arms were shaking from the weight of Peanuts’ body, but I didn’t stop. I set him down gently on the grass for a moment, then grabbed a shovel from the corner and walked back to the open space near the edge of the garden, where the grass was softer and the trees offered a little shade. Without hesitation, I started digging. Every thrust of the shovel sent fresh pain through my ribs and arms, but I kept going. The ground was harder than I expected, and my body was weak from three days with no food or water, but I didn’t stop. Sweat mixed with the dried blood and dirt on my skin.

Peanuts’ body had started to bloat, his once-soft fur now tight and discolored. I still held him, though my arms had long since gone numb. I couldn’t bring myself to let him go, even as the smell of him made my empty stomach twist violently.The madman in the corner had stopped muttering. He mostly lay curled up now, too weak to do much else. Sometimes he would whimper or growl when I moved, but the fight had drained out of both of us.I was dizzy, weak, and so fucking thirsty I could barely think straight.
