"Spread my legs? My ass," I shot back before my brain could catch up with my mouth. "Try it and I’ll break yours."For half a second there was silence, thick and uneasy.Then they laughed.Not normal laughter, but the kind that crawled under your skin."Well, listen to that," one of them chuckled behind me. "The kitten’s got a temper."Another voice joined in, amused and cruel. "We’ve got a fierce kitten here. I like him already

A KISS IN THE DARK : EMPIRE OF OBSESSION I LOVED YOU
∆EZEKIEL∆"Are you upset that your mission failed, Agent Ezekiel?"The words settled over the room with terrifying calmness.For several seconds, I couldn't breathe….. I couldn't move…. I couldn't even bring myself to look away from him.The phone trembled slightly in my hand as the reality of what had just happened slowly caught up with me.He knew, not suspected or guessed, but he knew everything."Zachary..."My voice came out weaker than I intended.He didn't answer immediately.Instead, he leaned back against the couch and watched me quietly, his expression unreadable in the flickering light of the fireplace.The silence stretched between us until it became unbearable.Finally, I forced myself to speak."How long?"A faint smile appeared on his face, though there wasn't a trace of amusement in it. "How long have I known who you are? Is that what you want to ask me?” I nodded.His eyes held mine for several long seconds. "Long enough."The answer made my chest tighten painfully.
A KISS IN THE DARK : EMPIRE OF OBSESSION I TRUST YOU, EZEKIEL
∆EZEKIEL∆"It became one the moment you tried escaping," Zachary replied with a quiet chuckle and a smug smile.I let out a helpless sigh. "You just make up rules whenever they benefit you.”"That's generally how winning works."Despite struggling myself in between guilt and anxiety, I laughed at his words.His expression softened almost instantly, and a familiar look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes."There it is," he said quietly.I frowned in confusion as I looked back at him. "Now what?” "That smile of yours…. I'm talking about your smile.” I immediately looked away, hoping he hadn't noticed it at all. "I wasn't smiling… You must've seen wrong.” A quiet chuckle escaped him as he shook his head in amusement. "You absolutely were, and the fact that you're denying it only makes it more obvious.""No, I wasn't," I insisted, though my voice lacked conviction even to my own ears."You always do this," he said, his smile growing slightly wider as he watched me.Suspicion immediate
A KISS IN THE DARK : EMPIRE OF OBSESSION I WIN
∆EZEKIEL POV∆"Why do you look more nervous than usual?" Zachary asked, raising an eyebrow as he studied me with obvious amusement. "You look like someone who's planning something behind my back. Should I be worried?"The question caught me off guard enough that I looked up from my phone almost immediately."I'm not planning anything."Zachary leaned back comfortably against the couch, one arm stretched lazily along the backrest behind me while the amusement in his eyes only deepened."Really?" he smiled, unconvinced. "Because you've checked your phone at least six times in the last fifteen minutes, and every time it vibrates, you look like you're waiting for a verdict instead of a message…. Do you have an explanation for that?"I slipped the phone back into my pocket before answering, hoping my expression looked calmer than I felt."I was expecting a delivery."One of his eyebrows rose immediately. "At this hour?""It was delayed."A quiet laugh escaped him as he shook his head. "Th
A KISS IN THE DARK : EMPIRE OF OBSESSION ARE YOU SURE?
∆EZEKIEL POV∆The fire crackled softly inside the stone fireplace, its warm glow washing over the quiet guest house. Outside, the wind whispered through the pine trees, but inside, only the gentle ticking of the old clock disturbed the silence.Neither of us had spoken for several minutes.I sat at one end of the large couch, absently turning my phone over in my hand before slipping it back into my pocket. Every passing minute brought Headquarters closer, and no matter how hard I tried to focus on the present, my thoughts refused to leave the operation unfolding beyond these walls."You've been staring into that fire for a suspiciously long time…. Is everything okay?” I looked up. "What?"Zachary was watching me with quiet amusement, one arm resting comfortably along the back of the couch. "You've hardly said a word since we got here.""I'm just tired.""Hm."He didn't sound convinced, before I could react, he reached for my wrist and gave it a gentle tug.I lost my balance with a
A KISS IN THE DARK : EMPIRE OF OBSESSION I MISSED HEARING IT
∆EZEKIEL POV∆"So, you seriously booked the entire place just to spend with me?" Zachary asked as he looked around the quiet guest house, a trace of amusement lingering in his voice while we stepped through the wooden entrance together.I nodded after locking the door behind us. "I wanted somewhere no one would disturb us."The words slipped out before I could stop them.For a brief second, neither of us spoke.A slow smile spread across Zachary's face as he turned to look at me."That sentence sounds far more dangerous than you probably intended."I felt warmth creep into my face and immediately looked away."I meant... I just wanted somewhere quiet.""I know.".His smile only deepened. "I simply enjoy watching you panic."I sighed in defeat. "You really do have too much free time.""And yet," he replied smoothly, "you still choose to spend yours with me."There was no answer I could give to that.Instead, I walked farther into the guest house, pretending to admire the interior even t
A KISS IN THE DARK : EMPIRE OF OBSESSION I'LL ALWAYS FOLLOW
∆EZEKIEL POV∆"Where are we going?"Zachary asked in a usual calm voice, with full of amusement as he stepped away from the table, effortlessly slipping his hands into the pockets of his dark coat.The waiter had already cleared away our coffee cups, and the rooftop restaurant had begun to empty as the night grew deeper. Warm lights reflected across the polished floor while the cool breeze carried the distant sounds of the city below.I picked up my car keys from the table, trying not to let my nervousness show. "I need you to come with me."One of Zachary's eyebrows rose almost immediately. "That sounds suspicious.""It isn't.""It definitely is."A faint smile tugged at my lips despite the storm raging inside my chest. "I'm serious.""So am I." He stepped closer until only a short distance separated us. "You ask me to follow you somewhere without telling me where we're going, and then you expect me not to be suspicious?""I didn't say you couldn't be suspicious." I tried to force a

"That mouth of yours will get you punched one day," Zachary muttered, and his voice low with irritation.Ezekiel let out a hollow laugh, the sound lacking any real humor. "Go ahead… do it if that makes you feel better. I’m not stopping you anyway." Zachary frowned slightly at that, something in hi
A KISS IN THE DARK : EMPIRE OF OBSESSION MORE THAN BROKEN
"Do I have to keep living like this…? Is there really no end?"The thought echoed faintly in Ezekiel’s mind, dull and heavy, like something that had been repeated too many times to still carry surprise."No matter what I do… no matter how hard I try… it always comes back to this."The car door had
A KISS IN THE DARK : EMPIRE OF OBSESSION JUST ENOUGH TO FOLLOW
∆EZEKIEL POV∆"What happened now? Why did you stop like that?"I frowned, and took a look at him with more clear vision.Maddison didn’t answer immediately, which itself was strange because he’s not the type to stay quiet when something catches his attention.He leaned closer to the file, flipping

∆EZEKIEL POV∆"Do you ever hear yourself when you say things like that?" I stared at him for a moment longer than necessary, my fingers tightening slightly around the fork before I let out a slow breath and leaned back just enough to create some distance, even though I knew it wouldn’t change anyt
