Andrew’s POV

They had their guns aimed right at me — three massive men in black, breathing heavily, sweat glinting on their brows under the harsh fluorescent lights of the store.

My own gun was pressed firmly against the side of their colleague's head.

I could feel him trembling slightly under my grip, though he tried to stay still, to act like he wasn’t a heartbeat away from death.

The tension in the room was thick.

And I was furious.

The audacity, the goddamn audacity, of them to point their

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Staying In Silence

    Michael’s POVThe knocking continued relentlessly.Theo and I stood frozen by the door, the air between us thick with tension.“Hello!” Cynthia’s voice called through the door again.Theo and I didn’t moved. We simply stared at each other.His hand was still braced against the door near my shoulder. His body still close enough that I could feel the faint heat radiating from him.The silence between knocks stretched long enough for me to notice details I had been trying not to notice.His breathing had steadied, the irritation from earlier had softened into something guarded.A bit of dark hair had fallen slightly over his forehead, still faintly damp from his shower. His jaw was cleanly cut, sharp enough to look dangerous even at rest. A small crease formed between his brows when he concentrated, like it did now.His lips were slightly parted, fuller than I had registered before.I hated that I noticed that.My pulse beat steadily in my throat.Outside, another knock came then it beca

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Woman at the Door

    Michael’s POVThe second Theo’s hand left my mouth, I shoved him back.“You don’t get to silence me in my own home,” I snapped.His jaw tightened, irritation flashing openly now.“I just kept you from making a mistake.”“What mistake? Talking to a woman that's looking for you?” I demanded. From outside, her voice was loud enough to be heard.“Theo!” she called, her tone sharp. “I know you’re in there! You think you can hide from me?”There was something cutting in her voice. She was definitely drunk.Theo exhaled through his nose, his shoulders stiffening.“She sounds pleasant,” I muttered.“Don’t,” he warned.“Don’t what?”“Don’t antagonize this.”“Oh, I wouldn’t dream of it.” I took a step toward the door. “I’m actually curious.”His head snapped toward me.“Michael.”“What? She’s clearly looking for you” I said coolly. Another knock came through, harder this time.“Theo!” she shouted. “You coward! Don’t pretend you’re not here!”I looked back at him and he looked… different. Just

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Lies on his lips

    Michael’s POVFor a full thirty seconds after Theo told me he had cameras, I couldn’t hear anything except the pounding of my own heartbeat but I refused to let him see that.Shock is weakness and Theo thrived on that so I straightened, lifted my chin and lied.“I wasn’t in your house.”Theo’s expression didn’t change. If anything, it softened like he was observing something mildly disappointing.“You’re not very good at this,” he said calmly.“At what?”“Deception.”He pulled his phone out again and unlocked it with deliberate slowness, like he had all the time in the world then he stepped closerToo close.He angled the screen toward me again with a clear footage of multiple angles in different rooms.There I was, moving through his hallway, pausing outside his office and sneaking toward the back door.My stomach twisted. He had more cameras than I thought.“I don’t know who that is,” I said evenly.Theo blinked then he looked at me again.“You don’t know who that is?”“No.”He turn

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   So Close

    Michael’s POV By early afternoon, I was in my home office staring at the glow of three monitors in front of me. Papers were scattered across my desk which involved shipping logs, dock schedules, customs registries, and business directories.If Theo was receiving a shipment tonight, I would find it.I had to.I leaned back in my chair and cracked my knuckles before leaning forward again, my fingers flying over the keyboard as i put in his name.He had too many companies. It was the perfect camouflage for something illegal.I clicked through port registries first to checm the eastern docks, commercial harbor and even private marina entries but there was nothing, no shipment listed under his company name scheduled for tonight.That didn’t mean anything. If he was smart, and he was, he wouldn’t use his own name.I opened another window and cross-referenced recently registered shell companies.I looked at cargo manifests flagged for “miscellaneous industrial equipment" but there was stil

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Past His Gaze

    Michael’s POVI didn’t leave and I should have but something made me want to stay.Every survival instinct in my body screamed at me to get out of that house while I still could now that Theo was distracted. The front door had opened and whoever stood outside had unknowingly given me a window but instead of heading straight for the back exit, I moved toward the staircase landing.Curiosity was a dangerous thing and I had always been weak when it came to danger.From where I stood, slightly elevated above the foyer, I could see the front entrance clearly without being immediately visible. The staircase railing cast thin shadows across my face, hiding me further in dim afternoon light.Theo opened the door. He was still wearing nothing but a towel loosely tied around his waist.Water droplets traced down his chest. His hair was damp, pushed back carelessly, giving him a wild, untamed look and standing at the door was Mrs. Hansley, our married neighbor.She was in her mid-thirties, alw

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   What He Was Hiding

    Michael’s POVI did not move, I did not breathe. The moment Theo stepped back into the office, still flushed from his run, I slipped deeper into the narrow blind spot between the tall bookshelf and the heavy velvet curtain that framed the window. It was barely enough space for me to stand upright, but it was enough.Theo shut the office door behind him with an absent push of his hand. His shirt clung to his skin, damp with sweat, outlining every sharp line of muscle beneath. A thin trail of sweat slid down from his neck to disappear beneath the waistband of his shorts and I swallowed my saliva.Focus, this wasn’t about his body, this was about the truth.His phone rang but Theo didn’t bother sitting down. He answered immediately, his voice low but edged with irritation.“What is it?”The tone alone made my stomach tighten.There was no friendliness, no business charm, just authority.“I told you the shipment arrives tonight. Not tomorrow, tonight.”Shipment?My pulse quickened.He
