"Nathan?" Iris shook his hand, trying not to wince at his crushing grip.

"Marcus is the only person who gets away with calling me that," Nathaniel said.

"That's because I knew him when he was a scrawny kid trying to act tough in my neighborhood." Marcus grinned. "He once tried to join my gang. We turned him down because he was too much of a nerd."

"I was fourteen and thought gangs were cool. We all make mistakes."

    Chapter 3:The restaurant was exclusive, the place that required reservations months in advance. But of course Dash walked right in, and was immediately shown to a private room with a view of the city.Over incredible food and wine they talked. About everything. Her work, his business, carefully avoiding the illegal parts. Her family, she had three brothers, all doctors. His lack of family, he'd grown up in foster care, built his empire from nothing."How did you end up running half the city?" Sable asked, three glasses of wine in and feeling brave."By being smarter and more ruthless than everyone else. By never backing down. By taking what I wanted and keeping it." His eyes held hers. "I'm not a good man, Sable. I've done things that would make you sick. But I have a code. I protect my people. I don't hurt innocents. And I always, always pay my debts.""Is that what I am? A debt to be paid?""You're the woman who saved my life when you could have let me die. When most people would h

    Chapter 2:The next three days followed a pattern. Sable would check on Dash twice a day, he'd flirt shamelessly despite being in pain, she'd shut him down and leave. But each visit lasted a little longer. Because despite everything, despite knowing who he was and what he did, Sable found him fascinating. He was intelligent. Darkly funny. He read actual books, classic literature, not the crime novels she'd expected. He asked about her work, her life, and actually listened when she talked. And the way he looked at her. Like she was the most interesting thing in his world. Like saving his life had created some kind of bond between them. It was intoxicating and dangerous and Sable knew she should stop visiting outside of medical necessity. But she didn't. On day four, she walked into his room to find him sitting up, looking much better. The color had returned to his face, his eyes were clear, and he was wearing actual clothes instead of a hospital gown. "You're looking better," sh

Chapter 1: Life in Her Hands Sable's hands were covered in blood and she had approximately four minutes to save this man's life. "Talk to me, what do we got?" she barked, her fingers already moving with practiced precision. "GSW to the chest, collapsed lung, internal bleeding," her resident stammered. "BP is dropping, he's crashing." "Then stop standing ther

    Chapter 9:Three weeks later, Thessaly stood in the kitchen making bread while Caspian worked on repairing a section of the fence. The storm had passed, the satellite phone had been fixed, and she'd made exactly one phone call.To her landlord, to cancel her lease.Everything else in Seattle could be handled remotely or abandoned. She didn't need much from her old life. Didn't want much.What she wanted was here. In this cabin, with this man, in this wild beautiful place."You're doing it wrong," Caspian said from the doorway, making her jump."I'm following the recipe exactly!""The recipe is wrong. Here." He came up behind her, his hands covering hers on the dough. "Knead it like this. More pressure. You have to be firm with it."Thessaly leaned back against his chest. "Is this a metaphor?""Maybe. How's the dough feel?""Firm. Strong. Capable.""Good. That's what you're aiming for." He kissed her neck. "You're getting better at this domestic stuff.""Don't sound so surprised. I'm a

    Chapter 8: Later, much later, Thessaly lay wrapped in Caspian's arms, her body sated and exhausted. He was tracing patterns on her bare back, his touch gentle despite the intensity of what they'd just done. "You okay?" he asked quietly. "Better than okay. That was..." She didn't have words for what that was. "Yeah." His arms tightened around her. "It was." They lay in comfortable silence for a while and just breathing. Outside, the storm continued to rage, but inside they were warm and safe and together. "Caspian?" Thessaly said finally. "Mm?" "What happened? The thing that made you come out here. The thing you won't talk about." He was quiet for so long she thought he wouldn't answer. Then he said, "I had a company. Tech startup. Built it from nothing with my best friend. We were going to change the world, make millions, all that ambitious startup bullshit." "What happened?" "He stole everything. The company, the patents, the investors. Framed me for fraud so I'd go to pri

    Chapter 7: "Daddy." Her voice was steadier this time. "Yes, Daddy. I want this. I want you." He kissed her. Hard and claiming and absolutely devastating. His hand slid into her hair, tilting her head back, controlling the angle while he took her mouth like a man starving. Thessaly whimpered, her hands clutching at his bare shoulders. He was so warm, so solid and so real. Five years of loneliness was in that kiss, five years of denying himself any kind of touch or softness. When he pulled back, they were both breathing hard. "Bedroom," he said roughly. "Now. Unless you want me to take you right here on the kitchen floor." "Bedroom. Bedroom is good." He picked her up like she weighed nothing, and Thessaly wrapped her legs around his waist automatically. He carried her down the hallway to his room, not the guest room, his room, kicking the door closed behind them. The bed was massive, covered in furs and thick blankets. Caspian laid her down gently, then stood back, looking at he
