I stood abruptly and she stirred when I moved, murmuring something incoherent. I looked down at her—beautiful in her ruin, hair tangled across the pillow, lips swollen and felt nothing.

Just the hollow satisfaction of a need met.

I pulled my wallet from my jacket on the chair, took out a thick stack of hundreds, more than enough for a cab, a Plan B, whatever spa treatment she wanted to soothe the bruises and left it on the nightstand without a note.

She’d understand.

I washed up in the

    RILEY °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ Hours Earlier ❁✿❀ I was so fucking pressed I thought I might actually piss myself right there in the chair. I’d been holding it for hours, shifting every few minutes, clenching hard, praying James would come back soon so I could beg him to untie me to use the bathroom. My bladder felt ready to burst and every small movement sent an ache through my lower stomach. Even with the zip ties biting into my wrists and ankles, my ankle throbbing from the jump, and my entire body hurting, the urgent need to pee was starting to outweigh it all. When I finally heard the door open, relief crashed through me so hard I almost cried. FINALLY. “You’re back,” I let out, my voice rough from disuse. “I need to go. Bad. Please—” But the footsteps were wrong. I frowned. There were two sets of them, both lighter and quieter. My heart suddenly started kicking hard against my ribs. Mr. James didn’t walk like that and his steps were heavier. Soon they stepped into the room. A

    I stared at him in a daze. And it took me a long moment to realize the gunshots inside the house had stopped. The sudden silence was worse than the noise. “No,” I whispered. Then louder, panicked. “No, no, no—” I scrambled to my feet, slipping in the mud, heart racing so fast it hurt as I ran, stumbling toward the front door, bare feet sliding on the wet ground, the gun still clutched in one hand. I reached the door, yanked the door open— —and slammed straight into someone coming out. I stumbled backward, nearly falling, but a strong hand was fast enough to catch me by the waist just in time and pulled me upright. For a split second I was ready to fight my way out. But then I looked up. And… it was Noah. Rain-soaked, bloodied, breathing hard, but ALIVE. His dark eyes locked onto mine, wide with shock. He was still holding a gun in one hand, the other holding my waist tightly. “Saraphina, are you hurt? I heard gunsho—“ I didn’t let him finish and immediately threw myself a

    Even through the roar of the storm, the deafening blast tore through the air as violent recoil slammed up my arms.The man staggered back with a choked sound, clutching his side as blood bloomed dark against his wet clothes, looking at me in shock like he couldn’t believe what had just happened.Without waiting to see if he’d fall, I scrambled to my feet with the gun still clutched in my shaking hands and ran toward the house again.I needed to get to him. Fast. He could be bleeding out for all I knew, and that single thought was enough to make my lips tremble.Just as I was closing the distance, something heavy slammed into me from behind. Kai tackled me hard, sending both of us crashing to the muddy ground. The impact knocked the air from my lungs and the gun from my grip as it skidded away into the wet grass, completely out of reach.“Let go!” I snarled as I fought like a wild animal. Kicking, clawing, and twisting under him.Doing everything I could in my power to free myself.

    The question caught him off guard. A drop of rain slid from his split lip as he froze, every line of his body signaling a hard refusal to answer that question. He opened his mouth to speak, thought better of it, and closed it. When he finally found his voice, it was to say something that had nothing to do with what I’d asked. “We should get you inside before you catch a cold,” he said instead, reaching for my arm again like he could steer me toward shelter. I jerked back. “No. Answer me.” For a moment, he just stared at me. A moment that felt like forever in the freezing rain. Then, a slow smile curved his mouth, crinkling the bruised skin around his eyes. “It was on the day of your prom,” he said quietly. “I saw your photo before it got taken down. You looked… beautiful. Like a person who didn’t belong in that world. And then, somehow, you ended up here. Close to me.” He let out a short, disbelieving laugh. “Look me in the eye, Saraphina, and tell me that isn’t fate.” “…”

    Noah’s grip on the wheel tightened until his knuckles went bone-white, but he stayed silent. Kai’s voice came again. “We ruined the generator and killed the fucking power. Did you honestly think we’d be stupid enough to leave your chance of escape untouched? Come out, Noah. It’s pointless. You know how this ends.” The words hung in the air between us and I felt a fresh wave of dread wash over me. There was no way out of this. None I could think of. Noah finally glanced at me, rain still dripping from his hair onto his face. “We’re stepping out,” he muttered. I nodded, lips trembling as more tears slipped down my cheeks. My hands were shaking so badly I had to clench them in my lap just to keep from completely falling apart. The car felt like the last piece of cover we had, and the idea of stepping out into that storm made my stomach twist violently. Noah reached out and grabbed my face, his hand wrapping around my cheeks. He was usually so warm before, but now his hands we

  • Daddies Taste Better    CHAPTER 371: We Got In

    The freezing rain washed over me, mixing with the cold and fear from earlier, and all I could think was how fast my day had just gone off a cliff. One minute I was hiding in my room out of sheer embarrassment, and the next, I was getting shot at and dragged through a downpour by the exact man I’d planned to hide from.It was almost laughable at this point that I'd actually thought today was going well.Noah’s eyes scanned the trees and fired again, the shot echoing into the night, and I heard a muffled curse from somewhere in the darkness. Then he tugged me forward again, moving us along the side of the house toward what I hoped was a safer spot, the rain soaking us both to the bone while the attackers’ voices carried faintly on the wind.This night wasn’t ending anytime soon.And I had no idea if either of us was getting out of it alive.My lungs burned as we continued to run, my bare feet slipping on the wet grass and mud. Every crack of thunder blended with the distant shouts and
