MELANIE’S POV

I woke up wrapped around Jethro, the morning after my birthday, still half-drunk on everything he’d told me the night before. His father. Miguel. The years he’d spent hungry and unwanted before Blaise Blackstone found him and gave him a name worth fearing.

I traced a slow line down his bare chest, feeling the steady rise and fall of his breathing under my palm.

“You never told me any of that before,” I said.

“You never asked the right way .” He caught my hand and kissed my knuckle

  • Caged By His Love   The Note

    MELANIE’S POVMy father called again three days later, his voice tight in a way that put me on edge before he’d even said what he was calling about.“Melanie. I need you to come to the house.”“Dad, what’s going on?”“Just come. Bring Jethro with you.”He hung up before I could ask anything else, and I stood in the kitchen holding the phone for a long moment, listening to the dial tone, my stomach already sinking toward my shoes.Jethro drove us over himself rather than calling a driver, his jaw tight the whole way, one hand resting protectively on my knee at every red light like he needed the reassurance of touching me as much as I needed to be touched.“Whatever it is,” he said, as we turned onto my parents’ street, “we handle it together. No pulling away to protect me from it. No pretending you’re fine when you’re not.”“I know.”“I mean it, Melanie.”“I know,” I said again, softer this time, because I understood he wasn’t really talking about today. He was talking about the two da

  • Caged By His Love   Lockdown

    MELANIE’S POVI noticed the changes before Jethro said a word about them.New faces at the gate when I left for work Monday morning — men I didn’t recognize, standing where Marcus and Deni usually stood, though Marcus and Deni were still there too, just further back, like the new men had been layered on top of the old rather than replacing them. A second car following mine the whole way to the office, keeping exactly four lengths back, never closing the distance, never falling behind.By Wednesday, there were cameras at the office building I hadn’t noticed before, small and unobtrusive, tucked into corners where I only spotted them because I’d started looking.“You could have told me,” I said that night, dropping my bag by the bedroom door and rounding on him before he’d even looked up from his laptop.“Told you what?”“That you turned my entire life into a security operation without mentioning it to me first.” I crossed my arms. “I counted six new men at the house today. Six, Jethro.

    JETHRO’S POVBrandon showed up within the hour, hair still damp from a shower he clearly hadn’t finished, jacket thrown on over what looked like the shirt he’d slept in. I appreciated that about him — the man didn’t waste time making himself presentable when I called at two in the morning.“What’s going on?” he asked, following me into the study.“Rodrigo called Lycan Wright.” I didn’t bother softening it, didn’t bother easing him into the shape of the problem. “Last week. Asking about Melanie. I want to know everything you can find by sunrise.”Brandon’s face changed, the sleepy irritation dropping away fast. “You think he’s coming here. To the country, I mean, not just calling from wherever he’s hiding this time.”“I think he never stopped planning to.” I dropped into the chair behind my desk, the leather cold against my back. “I let myself believe, these past months, that Rodrigo understood exactly what would happen if he touched Melanie again. That the message I sent with Alexa’s

  • Caged By His Love   No more secrets

    MELANIE’S POVI didn’t tell Jethro about the phone call right away.I don’t know why, exactly. Maybe because I was tired of every conversation between us turning into a crisis before it even had the chance to be an ordinary Tuesday. Maybe because some small, stupid part of me wanted one more day of just being happy before the next disaster came looking for us. I’d had exactly six weeks of feeling like an actual wife instead of a woman standing guard over her own life, and I wasn’t ready to hand that feeling back yet.I lasted two days.We were in bed, the lights off, his arm heavy and warm across my waist, when I finally said it into the dark, the words coming out smaller than I meant them to.“Rodrigo called my dad.”Jethro went very still beside me. I felt the change in his breathing before he even spoke, the way his chest stopped its easy rhythm against my back.“When?”“Last week. Dad only told me two days ago, when he called me over to the house.”“What did he say? Word for word,

Aaron, I mean. Not Blaise.”“Don’t be.” His voice went flat in the particular way it always did when he talked about Aaron Tanner, like something in him closed a door before I could see too far into the room behind it. “He gave me the one thing worth thanking him for.”“What’s that?”“He made me hard enough to survive everything that came after.” He pulled me closer, tucking my

  • Caged By His Love   My younger sister

    MELANIE’S POVI wasn’t expecting any of this from him. I’d thought he wasn’t even aware of what 28 October meant to me. I was really touched and surprised, but there was one thing I didn’t understand: when had he arranged all of this?“Don’t be a crybaby. It’s your day.” I covered my face as he pulled me into a hug, but I recoiled. I couldn’t forget or forgive what he’d done so easily.“Don’t touch me.”“It’s time for an introduction.” I turned at that familiar voice I hated. Walking toward me was Jethro’s mistrese.“You?” I blurted, looking up at Jethro, whose smile never faded. I looked from one of them to the other, bewildered.“Are you introducing me, or should I introduce myself?” she asked nonchalantly.“Of course I’ll introduce you.” He hung his arm around Allison’s shoulders, which baffled me. “Baby, meet Allison, my baby sister.”“Baby sister?” I blurted.“Yes, Melanie. She’s Jethro’s younger sister,” his mum said from behind.“You don’t have to worry, sister-in-law. My broth
