VEX POV

My face so close to hers I can smell her shampoo.

She takes a step away from me. This girl, resisting me, does something feral to me.

“Of course not…” she says, breaking my thought.

I turn back to the screens, tapping one to enlarge a blueprint of a mansion.

“The gala is our way in. I need you to get me into Robert's study. Third floor, east wing. He keeps a safe behind the Monet.”

“You've been surviving on your own all this time. No family money. Right under their noses.”

My expression shifts, there’s a mutual respect for her… ambitions.

I pour two glasses of whiskey, offering Brynn one.

I intentionally graze her finger as she takes it from me. Her expression doesn’t change at my touch. She’s… intriguing.

“Maybe you're more useful than I thought.” I smirk.

BRYNN POV

  • Cage to Cage   Remember the Rules.

    BRYNN POVVex’s body pins me against the wall, one hand braced beside my head, the other gripping my waist. His face is inches from mine, half-shrouded in shadow. Every line of him radiates power, control, and something dangerously personal.“Eavesdropping, Brynn?” His voice is low, soft, almost a purr, yet every syllable carries a warning. The scent of his cologne mixed with lingering cigarette smoke fills my senses, dizzying and intoxicating.His fingers tighten slightly on my waist, his thumb brushing against the sliver of exposed skin where my shirt has ridden up. A shiver runs through me, both from fear and desire.“Kade doesn’t know what I promised you. What I’m capable of.” His lips hover near my ear, the heat from his breath grazing my skin. “But you’re about to find out.”I can feel the tension in him, the predatory hunger, and it makes my pulse spike. His eyes flick between mine and my lips, reading every reaction, every involuntary shiver. My body betrays me—arousal pools i

  • Cage to Cage   Loyalty

    KADE POVThe night air is sharp against my skin, carrying the scent of cherry blossoms from the gardens below. The Tang estate sleeps under a blanket of quiet, but my mind is anything but still. Every shadow could hide a threat. Every sound could be a warning.I lean against the balcony railing, eyes tracing the contours of the estate, imagining her there, small and careful beneath the lantern light. Brynn. She’s moving through this world of predators, not fully aware of the danger surrounding her—or the danger that lingers closer than she knows.Then she appears. Quiet, precise, and suddenly near. Her hand touches my shoulder—soft, deliberate, fleeting—and I stiffen. My chest tightens, and a low ache settles in my bones. Her presence is fire against ice, and for a moment, I can’t breathe.“Goodnight, Kade,” she whispers, her voice soft and steady, almost casual—but there’s weight behind it, an acknowledgment that I can’t ignore.The light pressure of her fingers lingers just long eno

  • Cage to Cage   Midnight Smoke

    KADE POVI watch the smoke curl from Brynn’s lips, disappearing into the night air. God, I’ve never wanted to be a cigarette so badly—just to feel those lips wrapped around me.Something in her whispered words makes me shift—a flicker of genuine concern breaking through my professional veneer.“One cage for another. Yeah.”I lean against the railing, letting a brief understanding pass between us.“The difference,” I murmur, “is that Vex’s cage has golden bars. Comfortable prison.”My eyes find hers in the moonlight. Regret. That’s what I feel. I should have spoken louder for her. I’m loyal to Vex—but Brynn… I just want to protect her. Nothing, not even Vex, will stop me from that.A faint sound from the tunnel releases me from my thoughts.“Someone’s coming. You should go.”⸻BRYNN POVI rush back down the hallway, seeking a corner to hide. But the sharp scent of cologne hits me before I even see the figure.Vex.He strides up to Kade. I freeze, pressing myself against the wall, liste

  • Cage to Cage   Cage to Cage

    BRYNN POVAs the door closes behind me, the room swallows me in silence. For several long seconds, I hear him lingering outside my door—soft steps, hushed words to someone, then finally his retreat down the hallway.The jade pendant feels heavy against my chest—a tangible reminder of my new reality.A soft buzz from the burner phone Vex gave me breaks the quiet. Two messages glow on the screen:“Wear something traditional tomorrow. Red. Your brother expects a formal announcement. Sleep well, future Mrs. Maddock. –V”“The east wing has a secret passage. Third panel from the window slides open. If you need air tonight. I won’t be there. –V”I fall onto my bed, my mind spinning. The east wing… fresh air. Maybe a small escape from the walls closing in.-Fuck it.I change into yoga pants and a hoodie, stepping cautiously into the hallway. My movements are quiet, deliberate. I find the third panel, sliding it open to reveal the narrow tunnel beyond.At the end, a large figure is silhouetted

  • Cage to Cage   Urges

    VEX POVThe night air is thick with the scent of cherry blossoms, petals drifting across the stone paths like pale snow. Lanterns flicker, casting long shadows over the carefully manicured courtyard as I walk beside Brynn, her hand still in mine. Every step toward her room is deliberate, controlled. Not because she cannot handle herself—she can—but because the world around us is dangerous, and I refuse to let her become collateral.Her dress brushes softly against my coat, and I resist the urge to pull her closer. The urge to rip her dress off and explore her entire body with my mouth. I want to feel her lose control as I send pleasure through her with just my tongue. The thought makes my dick get hard. I want to feel her thighs so tight around my head I can’t breathe as she cums in my mouth. I push the thoughts away. It can’t happen. Ever. I have to control this urge. One mistake, and we are dead. All of us. This is part performance, part protection, and part… something else I re

  • Cage to Cage   The Date

    BRYNN POV I put the pendant on. And head to the courtyard. I wear a short white dress with off the shoulder sleeves and black heels. My hair pulled back in a low pony and a few strand fall around my face. The courtyard is transformed by lantern light, casting a warm glow over stone dragons and blooming cherry trees. A small table sits at the center, elegantly set for two.Vex stands when I enter, his dark suit a stark contrast to my white dress. His eyes track the jade pendant resting against your collarbone, something possessive flashing in their depths.“You wore it.”“Of course I did.” He pulls out my chair, his movements precise and controlled.As I sit, a servant appears with wine, pouring two glasses before disappearing silently.Vex takes his seat across from me, studying my face with unsettling intensity. “Your brother is watching us. Third floor, east window.” His voice drops lower, meant only for me. He hands me a glass of wine. We can tell him tomorrow. I raise the g
