Liora's POV

Marquez had the photograph printed and waiting on the desk when I walked in.

It lay face up between a folder and a cold cup of coffee, the same restaurant, the same warm yellow light. Seeing it on paper somehow made it worse. On the screen it had been a glowing rectangle I could close. Here it was a thing in the room with us.

"Sit, Liora." Marquez gestured to the chair. Voss stood by the filing cabinet with his arms crossed, and he gave me a short nod, his eyes moving over my face.

  • Captive To The Ruthless Heirs   His Story

    Liora's POVDean was waiting for me on the library steps.I saw him from across the quad, one foot on the second stair, his backpack hanging off one shoulder. I'd been awake half the night with the picture on Declan's phone behind my eyes. A small hand fisted in Dean's collar. A woman turned away. I'd promised Declan I wouldn't ask. I'd promised myself, too."Hey." He pushed off the railing when I got close. "Congrats. I heard you won.""Who told you?""Everyone. It's on the team page." He grinned, and it looked the way it always did, easy and warm. "Lane four. I knew you'd get it back.""Thanks." I shifted my bag. "It was a good race.""Do you have a minute?""I have class in twenty.""Then sit with me for ten."We sat on the top stair. Dean set his bag between his feet and rubbed his palms against his jeans. He did that when he was nervous. I'd known it since we were fifteen, and I couldn't make myself ask him what he was nervous about.Instead I heard myself say, "Declan saw you ye

  • Captive To The Ruthless Heirs   Lane Four

    Liora's POVThe stadium smelled like cut grass and hot rubber.I sat in the stands next to Clarissa with my knees pulled up and my hands tucked into my sleeves. Coach Reyes had told me I could come as a spectator. That was all she said, and she said it without looking at me, in the parking lot, with her whistle already around her neck. Benched was benched. I'd walked off her track twice, and nobody on the team had forgotten."You okay?" Clarissa asked."I'm fine.""You're bouncing your leg."I put my foot flat on the bench. It started bouncing again.Below us, the track curved away in a long red oval, the lanes marked in white. Girls from other schools stretched on the infield in bright jerseys. Our team stood near the far turn in a tight cluster, Athena in the middle, arms crossed, chin up. Janet was beside her. And at the rail, at the edge of the field, sat Katrina in her wheelchair with a blanket over her bandaged knees.I hadn't known she'd come."Look at her," Clarissa murmured.

  • Captive To The Ruthless Heirs   No One’s Hurt

    Jasper's POVDeclan changed the place with two hours to go.He told us in the car, after we'd already left the house. The original spot was a loading yard by the river. Now it was a parking structure on the east side, the third level, where the cameras had been broken for months. Only the three of us and Victor knew. Nobody else."Not even the buyer?" Silas asked from the back."He gets the address twenty minutes before. Not the time, only the address." Declan kept his eyes on the road. "If someone's been listening to us, they've been listening to the wrong plan.""And if they're listening to this one?""Then we'll know it's one of us."Nobody said anything after that.The structure was a gray block at the edge of a retail district, closed for the night, its ramp barrier propped open by a cone. Declan drove up slowly with the lights off on the last turn. Level three was a flat field of empty bays under flickering fluorescents, two of them dead. Victor's sedan was already parked near t

  • Captive To The Ruthless Heirs   Daddy

    Liora's POVDeclan came home after sunset and didn't take his jacket off.I was at the dining table with my notes spread around me, and Jasper was on the couch with his leg up. Silas stood by the window with his phone, going over something for tonight. The front door shut, and Declan walked into the room, put his phone on the table, and looked at the three of us."I need everyone here.""We're here," Jasper said. "What happened?""I apologized to Dean today."I put my pen down. "You did?""Don't get excited. That's not why I'm telling you." He pulled out a chair and sat, still wearing his jacket. "After I said it, he got a phone call. He walked off fast, so I followed him.""You followed him?" My voice came out sharper than I meant."He got on a bus. I got on it too. He didn't see me." He leaned forward, elbows on his knees. "He took two buses and walked down a lot of back streets, and he ended up at a house. A small one. White, with a green door.""Whose house?""His." Declan looked

  • Captive To The Ruthless Heirs   Her Tears, My Ruin

    Silas’s POVShe was still shaking when I stood up.Her thighs were slick, her pussy open and dripping onto the cushion, that same ruined pink that had been wrecked open last night and was somehow even worse now. Afternoon light poured over every inch of her. I could see the way her cunt kept twitching like it was still trying to hold onto my fingers. The sight punched the air out of my chest.I unbuttoned my jeans. The zipper dragged down. My cock sprang free, heavy and already leaking down the shaft. I wrapped a hand around it once, just to take the edge off, but it only made the ache worse.“You like what you see?”She nodded, eyes glassy, lips parted.“You want me to fuck you?”“Yes please.”Her voice was wrecked. Soft. Needy. It went straight to my gut.“Beg me properly, kitten. Beg me to ruin whatever is left of your warm hole.”She swallowed.“Please, Silas. Fuck me. Fuck my raw pussy until I can’t stand.”A low laugh scraped out of me. The sound was ugly. Hungry.“You asked for

  • Captive To The Ruthless Heirs   The Gate

    Declan's POVThe bus emptied out one stop at a time until there were six of us left.I kept my hood up and my eyes on the back of Dean's head. Houses were replacing buildings outside the window, low roofs and chain fences and bare trees. A woman got off with a stroller. A man in work boots folded his newspaper and left. Dean stayed where he was, bag on his knees, one foot bouncing.At the ninth stop he stood up.I waited until the doors began to fold shut before I moved. I slipped down the aisle and out sideways, nodding at the driver's blank stare, and stepped onto the curb as the bus pulled away behind me.Dean was already walking.He crossed the road without looking both ways and turned into a narrow lane that ran between two walls. I counted to five and followed. The lane was just wide enough for one car, patched with old asphalt, and the walls on both sides were stained green at the bottom. He walked fast, head down. When the lane forked, he took the left branch without hesitatin
