Cage to Cage Don’t You Dare Stop
VEX POVI remain frozen at the water’s edge long after she’s gone, her silhouette burned into my mind against the moonlit sea.When I finally make my way back to the villa, my footsteps feel heavier than they should. Each one a reminder of the line I’ve drawn—and the one I’m about to cross.Outside her door, I stop. The silence is thick, broken only by the sound of my breathing. I press my forehead against the wood, the cool surface grounding me.When I speak, my voice is barely a whisper.“I never said I didn’t want you.”A long pause.“That’s the problem.”The door creaks open an inch. Brynn’s face appears in the narrow gap, eyes searching mine.“What’s the problem, Vex?”I lift my head, meeting her gaze—raw, unguarded, stripped of everything I usually hide behind.“The problem,” I start, my voice rough, almost a growl, “is that I want you. More than I’ve ever wanted anything.”I brace a hand against the doorframe, knuckles white. The control I’m famous for is unraveling.“I promise
Cage to Cage A Life Deserved
BRYNN POV“Tell me what you dream about,” he says quietly. “When you allow yourself to dream.”I stare into the flickering candlelight. “What would I have done if I’d never been caught? I would’ve made friends, gone dancing in some loud club, gotten drunk, eaten too much Taco Bell. Dated. Maybe settled down. Got married. Had children.”A small laugh escapes me, though it sounds hollow. “The things most people complain about are the ones I crave.”Vex watches me—not with his usual calculating gaze, but with something softer, almost uncertain.“Taco Bell,” he says so seriously that it almost makes me smile.He swirls the wine in his glass, his expression distant. “I’ve never been drunk. Not once.”The admission lingers between us.“Control is… everything in my world,” he continues. “Losing it, even for a moment…”He doesn’t finish the sentence, but he doesn’t have to.The candlelight sharpens the edges of his face, making him look younger, almost human.“And children?” he asks after a p
Cage to Cage Sides Taken
KADE POVThe office is quiet—too quiet.The kind of silence that seeps under your skin and won’t let go.The club smells like espresso, gun oil, and control. My kind of place. Usually.But today, nothing feels steady.The morning paper lies open across my desk, the ink still fresh.Front page—Vex Maddock and his new wife, lips locked in a kiss under the Mediterranean sun.The photo is perfect.Too perfect.Her hand on his chest.His fingers cupping her jaw like she’s something fragile.The caption below makes my stomach twist:“Maddock Heir and Bride Seal Their Alliance Abroad.”I don’t even realize I’ve crumpled the page until my knuckles ache.My phone buzzes. Another message from the press team.All statements approved. No comment from Mr. Maddock until his return.I shove the phone aside.The world thinks it’s a fairytale honeymoon. They don’t see what it really is—an arrangement built on lies and survival.And yet, seeing her there—smiling, in his orbit—makes something dark curl

VEX POVMy jaw tightens at her words.“Convincing. Right.”I exit the car the moment we arrive, coming around to Brynn’s door—but I don’t offer my hand this time. The small gesture feels too intimate now. Too dangerous.“You’ve given the watchers what they needed to see. Your brother will have his proof of life.”I take a deliberate step back, forcing space between us I desperately need.“I’ll be in meetings for the remainder of the day. Don’t leave the villa grounds.”I turn to walk away, but something ugly twists in my chest, dragging the words out of me.“That kiss crossed a line, Brynn.”A beat.“Don’t do it again.”I don’t wait for her response. Distance is the only way I keep control.Hours pass. The villa sinks into silence—the soft thud of waves against stone, the distant echo of footsteps from the night patrol.I stand at the terrace railing, staring out over the darkening sea, the Mediterranean wind threading through my hair.But all I can feel are her lips.The taste of ras
Cage to Cage Raspberry
BRYNN POVMorning light filters through the open balcony doors, carrying the scent of salt and jasmine.A soft knock precedes Lila’s voice.“Miss? Mr. Maddock asked me to inform you that breakfast is served on the lower terrace.”“Tell him I’m not coming today.”Silence lingers on the other side of the door before she replies quietly, “Of course, Miss. I’ll let him know.”Her footsteps fade down the hall.Twenty minutes later, another knock—firmer this time—cuts through the quiet.Vex’s voice follows, low and clipped. “We need to talk. Now.”The doorknob rattles, but the lock holds. His tone drops, sharp with restrained frustration.“Brynn. Open the door.”I sigh and swing it open. “What, Vex? I want to sleep in.”He stands there, crisp in dark slacks and a white button-down, sleeves rolled up, eyes immediately scanning my sleep-rumpled state.“Sleep in?” he repeats, holding up his phone. “It’s nearly noon. And your brother’s been messaging.”He turns the screen toward me.“Apparently
Cage to Cage What will you do?
BRYNN POVVex steps into the room, his presence instantly changing the air. He doesn’t come far—just inside the doorway—but it’s enough. His gaze sweeps over everything: the unmade bed, the open balcony doors, the ashtray crowded with cigarette butts. Evidence of sleepless nights. Of nerves.“I meant what I said,” he begins, voice low, measured. “Three years. Then you’re free.”He drags a hand through his hair—an uncharacteristic slip, a rare tell of uncertainty.“But freedom in our world isn’t simple,” he continues. “When this arrangement ends, you’ll need protection. Resources.”His jaw flexes. “Your brother won’t welcome you back. Not after this. And Moretti’s people have long memories.”He finally meets my eyes. “I need to know what you want—after. Where you’ll go. How you plan to survive.”I exhale slowly, forcing calm I don’t feel. “If I’m not dead, I’d like a quiet town. A new country. I’ve saved money. I’ll fake my death, change my name… something like that.”His expression da
