The way he says “alone” makes me shiver down my spine and not in the good way. But I opt to tell the truth. Realizing he’s not going to let it go. Trying to just make it to my stop safely. Survival, it’s all I’ve known. His face close to mine, I turn away to the window. “I went out with my stepsister and her friends. They took me downtown and left me in another club. We don’t get along much so it’s no surprise that she would leave me in a city I don’t know. I started walking home when I thought I saw her walking into your club. So I followed.” “I walked through looking for her. I thought I saw her enter through the curtain, I followed. I checked every room, not a fan of your business by the way, and couldn’t find her. I found an empty room to order an Uber. But that’s when you pervertedly pushed your chest against my back” I see his expression shifts subtly—calculation replacing amusement. He studies your face like he's reading between lines you didn't know you wrote. “Abandoned by family in my territory. Interesting coincidence.” His fingers drum once against the leather seat. “Your stepsister. Describe her.” “Blonde blue eyes, plastic surgery face and body to match. Her name is Jessie. Know her? Seems like your type” I joke. The car slows at a red light. Through the window, you notice you're not on the route to Main and Washington anymore. The streets look unfamiliar, buildings growing more industrial, fewer pedestrians on the sidewalks. I don’t show panic, but quick to think how I’m going to escape. The mysterious man notices your realization and leans forward, pressing the intercom. Change of plans, Kade. Take us to Meridian. He turns back to you, eyes dark with intention. “Don't worry. I'll get you home... eventually.” VEX POV My expression hardens at her description. Recognition flashes in his eyes, quickly replaced by something colder. “Jessie Mason…Daddy's, Robert, right? Trying to buy up half the waterfront? Eastern territory mafia boss?” He pulls out his phone, types something rapidly. “Your stepsister has... expensive tastes. And expensive debts.” *The car stops at a red light.* Her hand on the car door handle she tries to open the door. But the car is locked from the outside. Much like a cop car. “Cute” she says. I can’t help but laugh at the attempt. “It’s to keep enemies in, you’re not an enemy are you Brynn?” BRYNN POV “How do you know my name?” I ask. Panicked. I’ve been on the run for two months now. Is this how Robert finds me? I think to myself. I glare at the man before me. Not sure if I should expect my death or something worse.. being brought back to Robert. He gives me a predatory smile. “Relax, I know that Robert has a step daughter named Brynn… if you’re Jessie’s step sister then I just used process of elimination.” I let out a breath I didn’t realizing I was holding. The man signals to his driver and we turn around pulling up to Washington and main. The car pulls to a smooth stop at the corner. He leans forward, his breath warm against my ear. “This is where you wanted to go. But I don't think it's where you need to be.” Kade gets out and opens your door of the car. The mysterious man’s fingers brush yours as you exit, the touch deliberate and lingering. “Jessie's in over her head with people who don't play nice. Not even by my standards.” He slips a black business card into your hand, his thumb pressing it into your palm. “When you're ready to hear the rest, call that number. Only that number.” His eyes flick to the street outside, then back to you, something almost like concern darkening his gaze. I take the card, it reads VEX MADDOCK and only one number on it. I look at the card. I flick it back the card hitting Lex in the chest. “I’m not interested in helping Jessie. Her problems are her fault. I’m not interested in getting involved in your criminal world.” I shut the car door, waiting for them to drive off so I can walk away. The car pulls away slowly. I can feel Vex’s eyes on me through the tinted windows. My apartment is 3 blocks away. I reach the door and unlock it. Safe.

Cage to Cage Between Heartbeats
BRYNN POV Everything is quiet. Not the kind of quiet that feels empty — this one feels… full. Heavy with warmth and light. The pain is gone. So is the fear. I’m standing somewhere that doesn’t quite exist — a place stitched together from fragments of memory. The sea spreads out in front of me, endless and blue, the same color as Santorini. The air smells like salt and tequila and jasmine. And they’re both here. Vex stands to my right, dressed in black, hands in his pockets, watching the horizon like he’s calculating how to own it. His edges are sharp, defined — danger wrapped in quiet strength. Kade is to my left, leaning against a stone wall, cigarette burning low between his fingers. He’s all shadow and restraint, the kind of calm that hides chaos. For a moment, neither speaks. They just exist — together — in peace. I almost laugh. It’s ridiculous, impossible, and somehow… perfect. “Am I dead?” I ask softly. Vex turns, eyes softer than I’ve ever seen them. “Not yet.” K
Cage to Cage Welcome Home
BRYNN POV The safe house is quiet. Too quiet. It looks like every other one of Vex’s properties — understated from the outside, fortress on the inside. High walls, steel gate, entry cameras. I should feel safe. I don’t. I step out first, the night air cool against my skin. My heels click against the stone path. I don’t even get to the door. The shot cracks through the air — sharp, close, wrong. For a second, I don’t register that it’s me. Then heat blooms in my stomach. I gasp — more out of shock than pain — looking down as red spreads across the front of my dress. It’s fast. Too fast. Everything slows. Vex is shouting my name. Another shot rings out. Someone returns fire. Voices — Kade? One of Vex’s men? Multiple. Boots on gravel. Orders in Greek. Someone yelling “Down! Down!” but my knees are already giving out. The ground tilts. I hit the stone hard. The pain catches up a second later — white-hot, exploding outward from the wound. It’s hard to breathe. I press my han
Cage to Cage Honeymoon Ends
BRYNN POV The first thing I register is the headache. Not mine — Vex’s. He’s on his back beside me, one arm flung over his eyes like he’s at war with the sun. The day is too bright for the amount of alcohol he let himself have last night. I can still smell tequila and cologne on his skin. A tiny, very un-mob-boss groan escapes him. I smile. “Good morning, lightweight.” “Don’t,” he mutters without moving. “Everything is loud.” I laugh, rolling onto my side to face him. “Everything is normal. You’re just hungover for the first time in your life.” The arm over his eyes shifts. One dark eye cracks open, studying me. There’s a softness there — the kind that only shows up when he’s tired or right after he’s let himself be vulnerable. “It was worth it,” he says, voice rough. “You were happy.” I prop my head on my hand. “I was.” Memories from last night wash over me — the club, the slow dance, the way he didn’t kill the guy who tried to hit on me, the tacos on the hood of the car.
Cage to Cage Letting Go
BRYNN POVMorning light spills through the terrace doors, warm and golden, brushing over tangled sheets and bare skin. The soft crash of waves below the cliffs reminds me it’s our last day in Santorini.Vex is already awake beside me, sitting at the edge of the bed, shirtless, staring out over the balcony. His phone rests facedown on the nightstand—rare restraint for him.“You’re awake early,” I murmur, voice still thick with sleep.He glances back, and something in his expression softens. “I’ve got plans.”“Plans?”He stands, stretching lazily. “It’s our last night here. I thought you might want to end it right.”There’s something behind his tone—quiet anticipation, the hint of a smile he’s trying to hide.“Should I be nervous?” I tease.“Maybe.”⸻Hours later, the car winds down the cliff roads toward the city. White walls gleam in the late-afternoon sun, the sea burning gold at the horizon. I watch him in the reflection of the window—one hand on the wheel, the other resting loosely
Cage to Cage Silence Doesn’t Believe Me
KADE POVThe line goes dead, but her voice doesn’t leave.It lingers — soft, uncertain — replaying in the back of my mind like an echo I can’t silence.I drag a hand over my face, staring down at the phone still glowing on the desk. For a second, I almost call her back. Just to hear her breathe. Just to remind myself she’s still real.Instead, I shove the phone into the drawer and lock it.Out of sight.Not out of mind.The office at the club hums with low music and muffled voices from below — the sounds of a club running smoothly for once. I should feel satisfied. The shipments are back on schedule, the docks are clean, and no one’s bleeding out in the alley tonight. That should be enough.But it isn’t.Every report I sign, every order I give, my mind drifts back to her — the curve of her voice when she said my name, the faint hesitation that told me she wasn’t alone.Vex.Of course he was there.I grip the edge of the desk until my knuckles ache. The jealousy hits hard, ugly, and im
Cage to Cage Control
BRYNN POVHe positions himself above me, his body taut with barely restrained need. His hands frame my face as he looks down at me, something raw and vulnerable flickering in his dark eyes despite the hunger there."Brynn..." my name escapes him like a confession he doesn't want to make.He enters me slowly, deliberately, his jaw clenching with the effort of maintaining control. The sensation makes us both gasp, bodies fitting together like they were meant for this moment."Fuck," he breathes against my neck, his voice strained. "You feel incredible."His movements are measured at first, each thrust deep and purposeful, but the careful control begins to fracture as pleasure builds between us both."Tell me how it feels, Brynn."“You feel amazing in me.” My words ignite something in him. His control snaps completely as he drives deeper, harder, each thrust claiming me entirely."Brynn..." my name tears from his throat with a growl. His pace becomes relentless, desperate, like he's tr
