Playing With The Devil The Price of Rage
Thaddeus POV It had been two whole days since I last set eyes on Kimmy. Two full days since I lost my head, went ballistic, and screamed at her in the doorway like a lunatic while she was literally collapsing from exhaustion right in front of me. Ever since she shut that guest room door and turned the lock, she had made it her mission to avoid me completely. It was like she did everything in her power to ensure our paths never crossed. She was living like a ghost inside my own apartment, slipping through the shadows only when she knew for a fact I wasn't looking. I was slowly losing my mind. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't eat. I couldn't function like a normal human being. For forty-eight hours, I spent almost every single hour sitting on the couch in the living room with my laptop open on the coffee table, pretending to review financial documents and security reports. But my eyes barely read a single line of text on the screen. All my efforts to distract myself with work were comp
Playing With The Devil Too Far
Kimmy’s POV Opening the apartment door, I was met with an enraged Thaddeus. He was standing right in the middle of the living room rug, bathed in the low, yellow glow of the counter lamp. His arms were locked tight across his chest, his mouth set in a hard line, and his eyes completely dark with anger. I had already set my heavy camera bag down on the floor near the doorway, utterly dead on my feet after working twelve straight hours. But the pure hostility on his face made me freeze right on the entryway mat. I took a small step forward, trying to break the heavy tension in the air. "Beau—" "Don't come near me," he snapped. He didn't just say it—he spat it out with so much spite that my body flinched on pure reflex, pulling back before I could even stop myself. He didn't care that I flinched. He didn't even pause to check himself. Seeing me pull away only seemed to make him angrier. He uncrossed his arms and stalked right up to me, crowding my space so fast I had to tilt my he
Playing With The Devil Breaking Ties
Kimmy’s POV The silence in the bedroom stretched between us. Thaddeus stood beside the bed, his jaw clenched as he held my gaze. There was something unsettling about the look in his dark eyes. He had already made it clear that whatever I had mumbled last night was "nothing." He had brushed it off completely, telling me to forget it, so I didn't bother pleading with him or pushing him to repeat the words. If he wanted to act like it never happened, fine. But I couldn't help staring at him in confusion, wondering why on earth he was suddenly acting so grumpy and hostile over something he claimed didn't matter. The dark scowl on his face didn't look like "nothing" at all. Before I could say anything about his mood, my eyes caught the digital clock resting on the nightstand. My stomach sank. Today was the actual day of the major campaign shoot with Sarah. Panic instantly washed over me, driving away the remaining fog of my hangover. I didn't waste another second standing around. I s
Playing With The Devil Lingering Whispers
Thaddeus POV The words tumbled past her soft lips like a warm breeze, barely louder than a whisper against the crook of my neck, but i heard it loud and clear. I'm starting to have real feelings for you, Beau... My heartbeat suddenly loud in my ears, my entire body going stiff as stone beneath her. "Kimmy?" I rasped out, my hands tightening against her waist. I shook her shoulders slightly, trying to pull her back from the edge of sleep. "Kimmy, look at me. What did you just say?" She didn't open her eyes. Instead, a tiny, incoherent murmur escaped her throat, and she buried her face deeper into the warm skin of my neck, her arms wrapping tight around my shoulders as she settled deeper into my lap. Within seconds, her breathing smoothed out into a deep, rhythmic pattern. She was completely out. I sat there motionless on the edge of the mattress, the dark bedroom quiet except for the soft sound of her breathing. She was still straddling my lap, her body limp against mine, her th
Playing With The Devil Liquid Courage
Kimmy’s POV I backed away until the backs of my knees hit the side of the guest bed, refusing to let another word of that confession slip past my teeth. The panic was still vibrating through my chest. "Kimmy, please," Thaddeus said, stepping forward, his hands open. "What were you going to say?" "Nothing," I lied quickly, crossing my arms over my chest and trying to sound firm. "Just... leave, Beau. I'm exhausted, I want to freshen up, and I need to go to sleep." "I'm not leaving," he said calmly, not moving a single inch from where he stood. "Beau, I'm serious. Get out of my room." "No," he replied, giving me a completely unbothered look. "You can either ignore my presence and go do your thing, or you can sleep just like this. But I'm staying right here." Before I could argue further, he kicked off his shoes, walked over to the bed, and stretched out flat on his back right over the covers, lacing his fingers over his stomach. He looked completely relaxed, like he owned the ent
Playing With The Devil Half-Spoken Words
Kimmy’s POV Thaddeus didn't pull his hand away. His thumb moved gently across my cheek, wiping away the wet streak of the tear before it could even reach my chin. His eyes were soft, completely stripped of that cold, dangerous edge he usually wore like a suit of armor. "You don't ever have to apologize to me for that, Kimmy," he whispered, his voice low and soothing. His softness only made the anger inside me burn hotter. I stepped back out of his reach, tearing my jaw away from his fingers. I wasn't just upset—I was furious. The sight of that woman's hands flat against his chest had sent a violent, shocking jolt through my system the second I walked through the door. It wasn't just a casual annoyance; it was a hot, clawing rage that had made my stomach drop and my lungs seize up. I hated that he had let it happen. I hated that another woman knew her way around his living room, knew how to get close to him, and felt comfortable enough to step into his personal space uninvited. An
