Dark Desires: The Professor's Obsession CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-THREE
MIKEI didn’t remember driving home. One minute I was storming out of Dante’s apartment, the next I was fumbling with my keys at my own door, my hands shaking so badly I could barely fit the key into the lock. The silence of my apartment wrapped around me like a cloak. No movie playing, no laughter, no Dante humming off-key while he made popcorn. Just… silence. I sank onto the couch, pulling my knees to my chest like a child. The tears came then—hot, angry, humiliating tears that I couldn’t stop. How could I have been so stupid? How could I have fallen for it again? Leo’s brother. The words echoed in my head, each time feeling like a fresh punch to the gut. All those times I’d talked about Leo, about how he’d ghosted me, how he’d made me feel worthless… and Dante had just listened. Had he been laughing at me the whole time? Had he reported back to Leo, told him how pathetic I was? A sob escaped me, harsh and ugly in the quiet room. I buried my face in a cushion, trying to

MIKE“Dante! The popcorn is burning!” I shouted from the living room. I could smell it from here and that meant Dante had gotten distracted again. I smiled to myself, shaking my head as I went into the kitchen and pulled the bag from the microwave. Typical Dante. He could remember every line from every cheesy action movie we’d ever watched, but he couldn’t remember to stop a microwave. I dumped the blackened kernels into the trash and started a new bag, listening to the familiar sounds of the movie I was watching echoing from the living room. It was comfortable here, I felt safe with him. Something I hadn’t felt in a long time. I carried the fresh bowl of popcorn into the living room just as Dante came downstairs from his room. We sprawled on the couch, a blanket pulled up to our chin, I looked at him, his eyes fixed on the screen. He looked younger like this and softer. The constant tension he carried in his shoulders was gone. “I had to make another one,” I said, setting the

EVELYNThe Henderson brothers were back again the following week for the business meeting that was cut short because of Luke and his shenanigans. They were exactly as insufferable as I remembered. I sat at the head of my polished mahogany table, tapping my manicured nails against the leather of my portfolio. “From what we were discussing last time we met, your projections are overly optimistic, Evelyn,” one of the brothers said, sliding a report across the table with that condescending smile I wanted to wipe off his face. “Given the current economic climate—”“The current climate…” I cut him off, my voice sharp enough to make his brother flinch, “...is exactly why you should be begging to get into this deal.” I flipped open my tablet, displaying our latest quarterly earnings. “My tech division has outperformed every competitor by eighteen percent. Your hesitation isn't caution—it's costing you money.”The other Henderson brother who was always sweating and always nervous, cleared hi

LENAThe rest of the car ride home was silent. I sat stiff in the backseat, Adrian’s jacket draped over my shoulders, the scent of gunpowder and sweat clinging to the fabric. My wrists still ached from the zip ties, my throat raw from screaming. But none of that compared to the questions burning through me. Who was that man? Why did he call Adrian brother? What did I do wrong to be taken against my will?And why the hell was I caught in the middle of all these? Adrian hadn’t spoken since we got back to the safe house. His knuckles were split, his jaw clenched so tight I could see the muscle twitching. Dimitri slumped against the window, pressing a bloodied rag to his ribs, while Marco and Jax exchanged quiet words in the front. No one looked at me, not that I gave a fuck.I looked around, studying my environment, the safehouse was cold and well hidden—nothing like Adrian’s penthouse. I stood by the fireplace, my arms crossed, watching as Jax patched up Dimitri’s side. Adri

ADRIANThe scent of my father's cologne—that oppressive mix of sandalwood and cigars that clung to every room in the Morellis mansion filled my nostrils.I was twelve again, sitting stiffly at the dining table while Gabriel was fourteen. He kicked my legs under the table.“Stop fidgeting, Ian.” he hissed. The front door slammed. Father's voice boomed through the foyer. “Adrian. Gabriel. Come meet your new responsibility.” We exchanged glances before shuffling into the grand hallway. Father stood there, his meaty hand clamped on the shoulder of a skinny boy with a split lip and bruised knuckles. The kid couldn't have been more than thirteen, but his dark eyes burned with defiance. “This is Dimitri Petrov,” Father said, giving the boy a rough shake. “His father was... indiscreet with his loyalties. You'll train him.”Gabriel sneered. “We don't need some Russian brat—”The backhand sent Gabriel crashing into the console table. A vase shattered. I didn't move. Father didn't even r

LENAThe first thing I noticed was the pounding in my skull. The second was the warm body pressed against my back. I kept my eyes squeezed shut, praying to whatever god might be listening that this was just another nightmare. That when I opened my eyes, I'd be in my own bed, alone, with nothing worse than a hangover to deal with. Then Ava sighed in her sleep, her arm tightening around my waist and my stomach dropped. Last night came rushing back in jagged pieces—the vodka, the crying, Ava's hands in my hair, her mouth on mine. The way I'd kissed her back like I was drowning and she was the only air left in the world. I carefully peeled Ava's arm off me and sat up, wincing at the light streaming through the curtains. The sheets pooled around my waist, and the cool air against my bare skin made my breath hitch. Ava stirred beside me, her dark hair fanned out across the pillow. There was a hickey on her collarbone. I'd put it there. “Good morning,” Ava murmured, her voice rou
