LOGINHis Unbreakable GuardChapter 3: The Night I Stopped PretendingThe third letter never made it under the door.Kane intercepted the man who tried to leave it at 2:17 a.m.I woke to the sound of a short, brutal scuffle in the hallway, then Kane’s low voice giving clipped instructions into his phone. By the time I pulled on sweatpants and opened the bedroom door he was already cuffing a struggling figure facedown on the landing. Agency backup arrived seven minutes later. They took the guy, the letter, and a partial print that apparently matched someone connected to the last story I’d published.Just like that, the immediate threat was neutralized.Kane closed the apartment door, locked it, and turned to face me. He had a thin cut on his knuckles and a dark smear of someone else’s blood on the sleeve of his T-shirt. His gray eyes were still sharp with adrenaline. The second they landed on me the air in the safe house changed.“It’s over,” he said. “At least this part. Agency will handle
Chapter 2: The Night the Line BlurredThe second letter arrived the next morning.Kane found it first. He was already awake when I came out of the bedroom, black T-shirt stretched across his chest, tactical pants, the same cold gray eyes scanning the hallway through the peephole before he opened the door. The envelope was plain white, no stamp, same blocky handwriting. He didn’t let me touch it. He bagged it, photographed it, and sent the images to the agency while I stood in the kitchen with coffee going cold in my hands.“They’re getting closer,” he said. Voice flat. Professional. “This one was left after I did the 0500 sweep. Means someone is watching the building’s patterns.”I nodded like I understood the operational language. All I really understood was the way my pulse jumped every time he moved past me, and the fact that I’d woken up hard again with the memory of his voice saying you’re hard still echoing in my head.Kane decided we were leaving the apartment by noon.“Safe ho
His Unbreakable GuardChapter 1: The Man They Sent to Watch MeI never asked for a bodyguard. I especially never asked for one who looked like that.The agency sent him after the third letter showed up under my apartment door. Same blocky handwriting, same quiet threat about what would happen if I didn’t “stop talking.” I was a journalist, not a celebrity. I wrote long-form pieces about corruption and corporate cover-ups. Apparently someone had finally decided the words were expensive enough to silence.They told me his name was Kane Maddox. Ex-special forces. Discreet. Efficient. The kind of man who could clear a room without raising his voice. I expected someone older, grayer, forgettable.I did not expect the man who walked into my living room at 9:04 a.m. on a Thursday.He was tall—six-four at least—broad through the shoulders in a way that made the black tactical jacket look tailored instead of bulky. Dark hair cut short, jaw shadowed with stubble, a thin scar cutting through one
Claimed by the CapoChapter 3: The Night the Debt ChangedI cooked breakfast at 6:45 a.m. like nothing had happened.Eggs. Toast. Fresh coffee in the press the way the inventory notes suggested he preferred it. My hands were steady. My head was not. Every time I closed my eyes I felt Dante’s fist wrapped around my cock through wet denim and heard my own voice saying don’t stop. The memory sat low in my gut, heavy and unfinished. Coming in my jeans had taken the edge off for maybe an hour. After that the ache had come back sharper, meaner, like my body had decided that one release under his hand was only the opening argument.Dante walked into the kitchen at exactly 7:00. Black shirt again, sleeves rolled, hair still damp from a shower. He looked at the plate I set in front of him, then at me, and the corner of his mouth lifted in that same knowing way.“You slept,” he said. Not a question.“Some.”“You woke up hard.”I didn’t answer. I didn’t need to. He could see it in the way I stoo
Claimed by the CapoChapter 2: The House That Wouldn’t Let Me BreatheThe east wing was bigger than my entire apartment.Marble floors. Tall windows that looked out over a dark stretch of garden. A bedroom with a bed that could have slept four and a bathroom with a shower large enough to host a party. Marco handed me a set of keys, a folder with kitchen inventory and house rules, and left me standing in the middle of all that quiet money like I might leave fingerprints on the air itself.I told myself I could do this. Cook. Clean. Keep my head down. Ignore the way my cock had stayed half-hard the entire drive over.The kitchen was a cathedral of stainless steel and black stone. I found the fridge stocked like someone expected a siege, the pantry organized with military precision. I made myself a simple pasta because the alternative was standing still long enough to think about Dante’s voice saying you’re already reacting to me. I ate it standing at the counter, staring at nothing, and
Claimed by the CapoChapter 1: The Debt That Brought Me to HimI never believed a single signature could ruin a life. Until the day I signed my name on a loan I had no way of paying back.The interest was a living thing. It grew while I slept, while I worked double shifts at the warehouse, while I lied to my sister and said everything was fine. By the time the men in black cars started parking across the street from my apartment, I already knew the math. Thirty-seven thousand dollars. Plus the kind of interest that didn’t care about excuses.They took me on a Tuesday.No hood. No drama. Just two quiet guys who opened the back door of a black SUV and waited until I climbed in. The ride lasted twenty-three minutes. I counted. When the car stopped it was in front of a converted warehouse on the edge of the industrial district—brick, steel, windows that didn’t let light out. One of the men walked me inside like I was expected.The office at the end of the hall smelled like leather and exp
Chapter 1: Caught in the ActThe bass from Jordan’s speakers thumped through the walls as I slipped out of his room, heart hammering like a damn traitor. The party downstairs was still raging—cheap beer, shitty EDM, and too many people crammed into his parents’ living room. But I wasn’t going back
Chapter 4: Shadows and Surrender The crack outside the cabin window jolted me awake before dawn, my body still sore and marked from Damien’s relentless claiming the night before. I lay tangled in the heavy blankets, his arm draped possessively over my waist, his breath warm against my neck. For a
Chapter 3: Cabin Fever The family cabin loomed ahead like a trap wrapped in pine trees and fresh snow. Mom and Dad had insisted on the weekend getaway to bond us all together, but they bailed at the last minute with some excuse about a work emergency back in the city. Convenient. Or maybe suspicio
Chapter 1: Caught in the Dark I never thought I would see my stepbrother like this. The house was supposed to be empty. Mom and Dad had left for their anniversary weekend, and I had planned to spend the night buried in my books, finally getting some peace from Damien’s constant noise. Hockey prac
