Malakai regained consciousness slowly. It felt like he was dragging himself up through thick, black water, his body heavy and uncooperative. The steady beeping of a monitor pierced through the haze first, then the sharp sting of something taped to his skin.

His eyelids fluttered as he processed where he was.

Hospital.

His chest tightened instantly.

"Harper—"

The word rolled out of him before he was even fully conscious. He jerked upright and gasped from the sheer amount of pain simmering in

  • Be Mine Again, Dear Wife   144 | Enduring Love

    Harper stiffened when she felt the tension in Malakai's body. She felt it in the way his hand paused in her hair and in the way his chest rose a little too carefully beneath her cheek.Something had really happened.Malakai didn't answer immediately. Instead, he pressed a tender kiss to the top of her head, his arms tightening around her."...Kai?" she whispered again, her voice softer.He exhaled."I need you somewhere I can see you," he said finally. "Somewhere I can control what gets near you."Her brows pulled together, confusion flashing across her face as she leaned back just enough to look at him."That doesn't answer my question."His jaw tightened.Harper studied him closely. She saw the exhaustion in his eyes, the tension he was trying to hide and the way his thumb kept brushing her arm like he needed the reassurance that she was still there."...You're scared," she realized.Malakai snorted under his breath."I don't get that luxury," he muttered."That's not what I a

  • Be Mine Again, Dear Wife   143 | In The Shower

    The master bathroom was filled with warm steam, the air thick and hazy. Malakai stood in front of the mirror, a towel hanging low on his hips.He was just about to take it off and step under the spray when the door opened softly behind him.Harper walked in, completely naked.Her skin glowed under the soft bathroom light, carrying a faint flush. Her hair fell in loose and slightly tousled waves over her shoulders, the ends brushing the tops of her breasts. She looked at him with soft, hungry eyes, a shy but playful smile curving her lips."Honey," she called gently, her voice warm and inviting.Malakai turned, and the moment his gaze landed on her, his breath caught. His eyes darkened with raw desire as they slowly dragged over every inch of the gentle curve of her waist and the soft swell of her breasts. Noticing the way her nipples had already tightened in the warm air."Well, hello there," he said, his voice low and husky. "To what do I owe this very welcome surprise?"Harper

  • Be Mine Again, Dear Wife   142 | Outplayed

    Reyes sat frozen in the back of his blacked-out SUV, the live feed from the rooftop restaurant still playing on his tablet. Harper had just said yes.She was crying into Malakai's chest, smiling through tears as he slipped the new ring onto her finger. The two of them kissed like they would both die if they didn’t.Reyes' hand tightened around the tablet until the screen cracked. He had truly believed he had her.He had broken her, threatened her, shown her exactly what he was capable of. And yet here she was... choosing Malakai again.A roar of pure, blinding rage tore from his throat."Detonate the bomb at the house!" he snarled into his phone. "Now!"He watched the feed a moment longer, his chest heaving, as Harper and Malakai stood wrapped in each other's arms under the stars.One of his men called back almost immediately. He answered the call right away."It's done?"There was a pause.Reyes' expression didn't change, but something dangerous flashed behind his eyes."...

  • Be Mine Again, Dear Wife   141 | The Night We Said Yes

    The city stretched endlessly beneath them, the night breeze carrying the faint hum of life far below.But up here... it felt like their universe had gone quiet.Harper stood near the edge of the rooftop, her hands resting lightly against the railing, her soft pink dress swaying gently around her legs. Her hair moved with the wind, brushing against her cheeks as she stared out at the skyline.For the first time in what felt like forever... She could breathe without feeling like she was suffocating.Behind her, she heard the soft, uneven rhythm of familiar footsteps. Her heart skipped a beat."Kai..."She turned slowly.Malakai stood a few feet away, dressed in black, the city lights catching against the sharp lines of his face. His staff rested in one hand. He looked at her like she was his everything."I was starting to think you’d leave me waiting," Harper teased."You really thought I'd let you have a rooftop dinner without me?" He replied, smiling.She let out a soft, breathy l

  • Be Mine Again, Dear Wife   140 | Not Enough

    Reyes sat alone in the penthouse, the city lights glittering far below like indifferent stars. A glass of aged whisky dangled from his fingers as he watched the captured feed on the large screen. The one where Malakai and Harper were in the hospital room, kissing with a desperate hunger.His jaw clenched in annoyance. That should be him, he thought. The one who gets to kiss Harper senseless and have her moaning for him. Not that crippled bastard.Gritting his teeth, he hauled the glass across the room.The glass shattered against the far wall in a violent crash, amber liquid spraying across the marble floor.One of the naked women he kept for stress relief emerged from the bedroom, her eyes wide with caution."What's wrong, sir?" she asked softly.Reyes didn't look at her. His gaze remained fixed on the screen, where Malakai's hands roamed Harper's body with a possessive reverence."Come here," he ordered, his voice dangerously low.The woman obeyed instantly, kneeling gracef

  • Be Mine Again, Dear Wife   139 | With Every Broken Piece Of Me

    Harper stood outside the private room, steeling herself before pushing the door open. She had taken her time, preparing, reviewing his latest scans, adjusting the treatment plan, and reminding herself that this was purely professional. She was his doctor now. Nothing more.But the moment she stepped inside, her resolve wavered.Malakai lay propped up in the hospital bed, looking exhausted but still devastatingly handsome. His longer hair framed his face in sexy, tousled waves, brushing the collar of the open hospital gown. His eyes, which were tired, heavy-lidded, and filled with longing, followed her every movement as she approached.She forced a professional smile and moved to the side of the bed, adjusting the pillows behind him with careful hands."It's better if you get admitted for closer monitoring," she said softly, avoiding his gaze. "Your stats are unstable. We can run more tests and adjust the medication faster this way."Malakai didn't respond immediately. He simply w

    Reyes took one slow step closer. His eyes glinted as his gaze slid over Harper's body. She narrowed her eyes at him in disgust."You're taking care of him," he said, nodding towards Aiden. "Feeding him. After everything he did. After he ran your parents off the road. After he helped make y

    Malakai wheeled himself into the visitation room at County Detention with the same calm he'd worn to dinner four days before. Oliver was already seated on the other side of the scratched Plexiglas divider, an orange jumpsuit hanging loose on a frame that had once been broader. His hair was

    Malakai set his wine glass down, his expression calm. Panicking wasn't on his agenda tonight."Right now," he said, "I'm more interested in rebuilding trust."Eric Snow's fork paused halfway to his mouth.Maddison's breath caught audibly. Her eyes went wide and glassy with a sudden, fragile h

  • Be Mine Again, Dear Wife   094 | To Old Alliances

    The private dining room of La Varenne was quiet enough to hear the soft clink of crystal against porcelain. The restaurant catered to politicians, diplomats, and people who preferred their conversations to remain unheard. Malakai arrived first, supporting his movements with a black staff. He se
