Castle

As soon as I stepped through the double doors at La Iglesia, the hushed murmurs crawling beneath the high ceilings died instantly.

The scent of wood polish, dust, and old blood hung in the air as I moved slowly and deliberately toward the head of the long table, my boots thudding softly against the floor.

They were already seated: Rowan, Fernando, Raymond, and Kaito. Their eyes flickered toward me, then away just as fast. They were all nervous, except Rowan.

That bastard looked straight at me like a man who thought he had already won.

I dropped into my chair and leaned back. The room pulsed with tension, thick enough to suffocate on. And I just sat there, scanning their faces, letting the silence drag on.

I wanted them to squirm, and they did. Chairs creaked as they shifted uneasily in their seats and their fingers twitched on the table. Only Rowan remained still.

“For the first time in a long while,” I said, voice low but firm, “I didn’t call this meeting. That’s new.”

  • Castillo Del Angel: Marked By Vengeance.    108. It's Been A Pleasure Serving You, Don.

    Castle.Angel was out cold, his face half-buried in the pillow, breath slow and even, that goddamn Kevlar vest still lying beside him like a silent warning. I assumed that the raid was happening the next day—morning, maybe early afternoon. That’s how they usually rolled. Precise. Timed. Predictable.So I gave the go-ahead to Tomas to start offloading the shipment. And then when I couldn’t sleep, I slipped out of bed and went to the store to get a bottle of whiskey. Only to find Adriana sitting on the cold floor, drinking directly from a bottle of Chardonnay. She looked like misery personified, and heaven knows that she would make me feel as miserable as she felt if she laid her eyes on me. So I backtracked as quietly as I could and went back to my room. As I walked up the steps to my wing, I reminded myself to book an appointment with a therapist for Adriana. If not one of these days, she would actually go crazy for real. Discarding the shorts I had on, I got dressed in leather a

  • Castillo Del Angel: Marked By Vengeance.    107. Good Luck Charm.

    Angel.It was 9 pm already and I stood at the door, hand on the knob as my gloved fingers twitched. I was fully geared, kevlar tight across my chest, my vest creaking when I moved. My glock was holstered, comms strapped to my belt, boots laced to the top. Everything was ready. And everything was secure.But I couldn’t go. Not yet.The room behind me was dim—moonlight streaked across the floor in silent ribbons, touching everything like a cold memory. I turned back. My eyes landed on the shirt.The one Castle had ruined earlier today when he was in my bed, touching himself like a man possessed.It lay folded neatly where I placed it on my bedstand. As I looked at it, I felt the urge to sniff it again. So I walked over, bent down and picked it up, slow, reverent. Like it was sacred.I shouldn't. But I did.And then I lifted it to my face and breathed him in.Salt and musk. That trace of the cologne he always used. It was a little faint but it was still there.I closed my eyes as I inh

  • Castillo Del Angel: Marked By Vengeance.    106. Ghost Feed.

    Castle.I almost didn’t go home that night.After the meeting with Tomas, I drove past my own street twice. Circled it like a shark unsure if it wanted to bite into old meat. I had my bag in the backseat, the one I usually kept for emergencies—spare shirt, toothbrush, and a bottle of whiskey I hadn’t touched in weeks.The hotel where I normally lodged when I needed distance was just twenty minutes away. Tucked discreetly into the upper floors of a private high-rise, it was perfect. But I didn’t drive there.Because laying low wasn’t checking into a penthouse suite with fresh linens and skyline views. It was slipping back into the shadows you built for yourself.So I went home.Not because I wanted to. Adriana was still a goddamn tempest with lip gloss. And I was too tired to weather her storms. I didn't exactly know what was going on with her but I knew that she needed to get her act together. Because if she didn't, then I would be forced to take a step that I didn't want to take o

  • Castillo Del Angel: Marked By Vengeance.    105. Fucked Up Revenge Fantasy.

    Angel.Dan’s words kept replaying in my head as I drove home. Even though my radio was on.It wasn’t the usual empty threat. No. This time, he sounded like he really wanted to bury my career into the ground.I shouldn’t have been this rattled. For fuck's sake, Dan had been blackmailing me for months now. Ever since the masked ball. Ever since that damn video that should never have existed. I had convinced myself that he was just playing his usual power games, bluffing like a man who never learned how to hold a real hand.But today felt different.Today, he reminded me that he could end everything.If that video surfaced—if the Bureau caught wind of what I did that night—I’d be pulled off the Mafia case so fast my chair would still be spinning. My badge might even follow. And that? That would be a career-ending blow. So yeah, I drove home with a pit in my stomach and my foot pressing down heavily on the gas. The sun was already sliding down behind the buildings. Dusk was approachin

  • Castillo Del Angel: Marked By Vengeance.    104. I Got What I Needed.

    Castle.My dick twitched in my pants as I lay down on Angel's bed, pressing his shirt to my nose like it was an oxygen tank. Fuck.I turned my head to the side, picturing him stretched across it.Would his limbs be sprawled or curled tight? I wondered how he slept.And I was a little bit pissed at myself that I'd hadn't thought of the cameras before that morning. I wanted to know if he moaned in his sleep. If he hugged a pillow to himself. Also, if he jerked himself off on some lonely nights while thinking about me.The more I stared at the other side of the bed, the more I could imagine it better.I imagined Angel on his back, hand around his cock, biting down on his bottom lip just to keep quiet. I could almost hear his soft, shaky breaths, whispering my name. I didn’t know what possessed me. Maybe I was already past the point of being possessed. Maybe I’d been stripped down to my most feral pieces.Because I suddenly stood up, undoing my belt with numb fingers. Tugged the zippe

  • Castillo Del Angel: Marked By Vengeance.    103. The Universe Hates Me.

    Angel.I hadn’t eaten all morning because there had been too many briefings in Beck's office. Too many planning concerning the raid tonight. And too many thoughts in my head.By the time lunch break came around, I was so hungry my stomach felt like it was folding in on itself.So I stepped out, shoved my hands in my pockets, and crossed the street to the little corner diner. The one that had the squeaky glass door and burnt-coffee charm. It wasn’t fancy. But it was quick, cheap, and quiet. And the waitstaff was fast on their feet.I slid into a booth by the window and ordered grilled cheese with tomato soup, some fries and a tall glass of coca cola.While waiting, I pulled out my phone to catch up on a few messages. The food came fast. Hot, perfectly greasy, and satisfying in a nostalgic sort of way. I was halfway through dipping my sandwich in the soup when a shadow passed in front of me, and someone placed their tray across from mine without a word.I looked up, and there he was.
