"Mr. Blackwell," a young man with dark hair spoke, he had the name badge Dr Rafael Cross attached to his white coat.

Malakai turned his head slowly. "Yes?"

The doctor glanced up, his expression composed, professional... and careful.

"We've reviewed your initial results," he said. "Along with your ECG and blood work."

Harper didn't move. Malakai's fingers tightened slightly against the thin hospital sheet.

"And?" he asked.

The doctor inhaled.

"You have signs consistent with cardiomyopat

    Harper was constantly anxious. The fact that Aiden had been taken made her worry that the same thing could happen to her anytime. Worse, his captor wasn’t Reyes, as she had thought. But it was Eric Snow. He wanted Maddison out of jail in exchange for Aiden's release.But the problem was that Maddison was too unstable. If she was released at this point, Harper couldn't help but worry what that woman would do.But Kai cared too much about his brother to let him rot. The exchange was supposed to happen today. Harper felt suffocated even as she went through her routine at the care center. She didn't have anyone she could talk to about what was going on in her mind."You know, you have a very strange look on your face. It's making me worried," Tyson said to her during their break.She kept checking her phone for a new message from Malakai. But there was none.Tyson sighed."I reached out for help on your behalf," he said, and she perked up."What did he say?""He's digging into Re

    Detective Reyes woke up to ice-cold water splashing onto his face. He gasped, choking on the sudden shock, his body jerking hard against the ropes that bit into his wrists. His eyes flew open, wide and disoriented, water streaming down his lashes and dripping from his chin.For a split second, his mind scrambled.He had gone to bed in his own home. The doors had been locked, the security system armed. He even had a gun on the nightstand.Now he was hanging. Literally.His arms were stretched high above his head, his wrists bound tightly with thick rope that dug into his skin. His toes barely brushed the cold concrete floor. The room was dim and industrial, the air damp and metallic.Men in black surrounded him. There were four of them, maybe five. Their faces were hidden behind balaclavas, their bodies motionless and professional.Reyes's heart slammed against his ribs."What the fuck..." he rasped, his voice hoarse from the cold water still dripping down his neck.One of the

    Harper's cheeks burned hotter at Malakai’s shameless question. She shook her head quickly, trying to steady her voice even as her thighs tried to press together beneath the robe."I'm not—I don't know what you're talking about," she lied, the words tumbling out too quickly. "You're just... focused. That's all. It's... impressive."Malakai's smirk deepened, that dangerous L edge glinting in his eyes even as the soft warmth of Kai stayed wrapped around it."Is that so?" he uttered, his voice low and husky. "Because you're looking at me like you want to devour me, darling."Before she could protest again, he leaned in and kissed her.He kissed her like he was claiming every doubt, every fear, and every inch of her uncertainty. Harper gasped into the kiss, her hands flying to his shoulders, her fingers digging in as heat flooded her body.He didn't let her pull away.Every time she tried to speak, to lie again, to deflect, he kissed her harder, his tongue driving deeper. Between kis

    Malakai's gaze drifted, as though he were running through something in his head."Kai?" Diana whispered. "He's just a child... I can't lose him like this. Please."Malakai blinked."...Send me the hospital details," he said.She started to sob even harder, and Harper couldn't help but feel awkward listening to the woman's cries."Thank you—thank you. I knew you wouldn't—"Malakai ended the call, and silence rushed back in.Harper slowly lifted her head, searching his face."Kai..."He didn't answer. His gaze was still on the phone. Something wasn't sitting right. He could feel it. Diana had sounded like she was putting on a performance. He knew her well enough to know what she would sound like if she was truly desperate.Also, none of this made any sense. If she had his son for all these years, why did she never reach out? She'd been married to a rich man. Knowing how scheming she was, she could've found a way to take enough money for herself. So, why did she have to come to h

    Malakai was undeniably turned on by Harper's bold words. He couldn't help himself. He cupped her face with both hands and kissed her hard.His mouth moved against hers with a desperation that stole her breath, his tongue sliding deep. Harper gasped into the kiss, surprised by the sudden intensity.This wasn't the careful, recovering Malakai she'd been tiptoeing around for the past few weeks. This was him being raw, possessive, and utterly consuming.Her hands fisted in his shirt as she kissed him back just as fiercely, melting into the heat of his mouth.The kiss turned filthy fast, their tongues tangling. A low groan rumbled from his chest, vibrating against her.Harper's pulse thundered. She could feel the thick, unmistakable length of him pressing against her thigh through his pants."Kai..." she breathed against his mouth, trying to pull back just enough to speak. "Your phone... it's still ringing..."He didn't even glance at it."Not important," he growled, his voice hoa

    Harper stepped through the front door after a long shift, letting out an exhale. She kicked off her shoes, headed straight for the bathroom for a long, soothing shower, and slipped into her favourite silk.The house was quiet except for the distant hum of the air conditioning. Harper moved down the hallway, her heart already softening at the thought of him.She pushed open the door to the guest room they'd turned into his recovery space.Malakai lay propped up against a mountain of pillows, fast asleep. The past few days of treatment for his pericarditis had left him exhausted but stable.His dark hair had grown longer during his confinement, falling messily down his shoulders in soft curls that caught the warm lamplight.The top buttons of his white shirt were undone, revealing the steady rise and fall of his chest and the faint silver chain of the rosemary necklace resting against his skin. He looked peaceful. Almost princely, even in recovery.Harper stood in the doorway
