BRYNN POV

My fingers tremble where they clutch the mirror. The memory hasn’t faded—it’s settled, heavy and real, like it’s always belonged to me.

“I remember the dresses,” I say softly. My voice sounds steadier than I feel. “Not just… fabric. The day. The room.”

Vex doesn’t move. He doesn’t rush me. He never does.

“Tell me,” he says, careful. Like one wrong step might send the memory scattering.

I draw in a breath. “There were rows of white gowns. Too many. I was overwhelmed.” A small, surpris

  • Cage to Cage   Waiting

    BRYNN POVTwo months.Two months of waiting.Two months of security reports, surveillance updates, and dead ends.Val had disappeared.Jessie stayed quiet.Livia never made a move.At first, it felt like the calm before a storm.Now it just felt exhausting.I roll over in bed, my eyes barely opening as darkness fills the room.Something feels wrong.My stomach twists.Hard.I suck in a sharp breath.“Oh God.”The nausea hits so fast I barely have time to throw the blankets off before I’m sprinting toward the bathroom.The second I hit the floor in front of the toilet, everything comes up.Behind me, the bed explodes into motion.“Brynn?”Vex.A second later—“Baby?”Kade.I groan.“Don’t call me baby right now.”Another wave hits.The toilet becomes my best friend.Wonderful.Just wonderful.Within seconds they’re both beside me.Vex drops to one knee, gathering my hair back from my face before it can fall forward.His hand settles at the base of my neck.Steady.Warm.Kade kneels bes

  • Cage to Cage   Faultline

    VEX POVThe city looks different when you leave a room like that. Sharper. Like everything is already shifting beneath it.Streetlights drag in long gold streaks across the tinted windows as we move through the dark. The engine hums low, controlled, powerful—steady in a way the world outside isn’t anymore.Brynn sits in the passenger seat.Kade’s in the back.Same positions. Same silence.But it’s not the same.Not after tonight.I rest my arm along the center console, my fingers brushing lightly against Brynn’s thigh. Not for show. Not for strategy. Just instinct. She doesn’t move away. Doesn’t even glance down. Her eyes stay fixed on the road ahead, like she’s already thinking past it.“She won’t come at us directly,” I say.Kade exhales quietly behind her, the sound low and knowing. “No. That’s not Val’s style.”Brynn’s voice cuts through the quiet, soft but precise. “She smiled.”I glance at her. Of course that’s what she noticed.“Yeah,” I murmur. “She did.”She shifts slightly i

  • Cage to Cage   Adapt

    VEX POVMorning comes slow.Not because the sun is gentle—but because I don’t move.I don’t want to.Brynn is between us, exactly where she fell asleep. Like she belongs there. Like it’s always been that simple.It isn’t.My arm is draped across her waist, fingers resting against her stomach, feeling the steady rise and fall of her breath. Kade is still behind her, close enough that every inhale brushes against her shoulder.Too close.Not close enough.Funny how both can exist at once.I watch them for a long moment—longer than I should. Longer than a man like me ever allows himself to linger in something soft.Because this?This is dangerous.Not the power.Not the city.Not the blood that built everything we stand on.This.Her.Us.Brynn shifts slightly, pressing back into Kade without waking. My jaw tightens—not in anger, not anymore—but in something far more complicated.Acceptance sits heavy in my chest.And beneath it—Possession.Mine.Ours.Kade’s hand flexes lightly at her

  • Cage to Cage   Ours

    Brynn POV “I want you both to take me.” I choke out the words, between the pleasure. The night unfolds in a tangle of limbs and breathless moments, boundaries dissolving between the three of us. Vex and Kade move with restraint, both focused entirely on my pleasure while exchanging glances that speak volumes about their shared devotion.Vex’s eyes flash with dark approval as I come undone against his mouth, his hands gripping my thighs to keep me in place.Kade watches with hungry fascination, his own breathing becoming ragged as he witnesses my pleasure.“So beautiful when you lose control.”Vex’s voice is rough as he rises, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. His expression is pure masculine satisfaction.Kade's hand replaces Vex’s between my legs, his touch gentler but no less precise.Vex begins unbuttoning his shirt, his eyes never leaving my flushed face.The two men exchange a look over my body—possessive, protective, and filled with dark promise.Kade lays back on th

  • Cage to Cage   Use Your Words

    BRYNN POV The tension doesn’t break.It stretches.Tightens.Something unspoken passes between the three of us — a silent understanding that the room we’re standing in suddenly feels too small for what’s happening.Vex’s hand slides from my waist to my lower back.Grounding.Claiming.“Not here,” he murmurs against my ear.Kade exhales a quiet laugh.“Agreed.”His fingers brush down my arm — deliberate, slow — before he finally steps away from me.The loss of heat is immediate.Temporary.“We should go,” Vex says.It isn’t a question.⸻The drive back to the mansion feels longer than it should.The city lights blur past the windows, neon streaking across glass while silence settles thick inside the car.Not awkward.Charged.Kade sits across from me, one arm resting along the seat, eyes never leaving my face.Studying.Relearning.Every time the streetlights pass overhead they catch in his eyes — dark, restless.Vex sits beside me.Close.His hand rests loosely on my thigh, thumb mov

  • Cage to Cage   Six Months Later

    SIX MONTHS LATERBRYNN POVRoutine is a strange thing.Six months ago, the idea of normal felt impossible.Now it’s almost believable.The club hums beneath my feet most nights — bass vibrating through polished floors, men laughing too loud, deals being made in shadows behind purple velvet curtains. Vex runs business from the back office like he always has. Calm. Controlled. Untouchable.He looks the same.But there’s a quiet sharpness in him now.Waiting.We don’t talk about the countdown.We don’t have to.Kade said six months.So we let the clock run.Contact has been… sparse. Strategic. A message every few weeks. Secure lines. Short updates.Alive.Progressing.Soon.Soon is a dangerous word.I keep busy.Training. Meetings. Logistics. Making sure our territories don’t shift while one king is rebuilding his throne.Tonight the club is quieter. A private event downstairs. Vex is handling investors. I’m upstairs in the secured room, field-stripping one of my pistols on the long meta

    BRYNN POVThe boat slices through the crystal waters of the Aegean, sunlight glinting off the waves and misting over the deck.Vex stands at the bow, one hand gripping the railing. His white linen shirt billows in the breeze—a stark contrast to his usual black.He turns as I approach, his gaze flic

  • Cage to Cage   Honeymoon day 3

    BRYNN POV I slip back into my room, locking the door behind me. My frustration with Vex has reached a limit I can barely contain. I want to hit him. And kiss him. Both urges war inside me until I can’t tell where anger ends and something far more dangerous begins. I drop onto the bed and close my

  • Cage to Cage   Honeymoon Day 2 (cont.)

    VEX POVMy breath catches audibly, control slipping for just a moment before I reclaim it with visible effort.My hand tightens around her waist, fingers pressing into her skin through the thin fabric of her dress.“Careful, Brynn. There are games you don’t want to start with me.”The words come ou

  • Cage to Cage   Honeymoon Day 2

    BRYNN POVMorning arrives with relentless Mediterranean sunlight, pouring through the terrace doors like a spotlight I can’t escape. The scent of coffee and fresh pastries drifts through the villa — cruelly domestic for a place that feels anything but peaceful.Vex sits at the table outside, alread
