Liam

My father quickly turned off his phone, his hand trembling as he gripped it tightly like it was a live grenade.

“Come with me,” he snapped, his voice low and dangerous.

I followed him into his private office, my steps hesitant, throat dry. The door shut behind us with a heavy thud, and before I could even process what was about to happen—

SMACK.

His palm struck my cheek so hard my head turned with the force. The sting burned through my skin and down to my spine.

“You already know why I slapped you,” he hissed, breathing hard. “What was the meaning of that? What the actual hell was that video?!”

I opened my mouth, lips trembling, heart thudding like a drum—but before I could utter a single word, the door creaked open again.

We both turned.

Standing there, dressed in black and looking every bit like a mafia prince with power rolling off his shoulders, was Ronan. Behind him were two men in suits, both built like walking tanks.

My father’s face twisted with fresh fury. “Speak of the

    RafaelThe elevator chimed again as it glided to a halt, but I barely noticed it over the heat burning into the back of my skull.I shifted awkwardly beside Wendy, slipping my phone from my jacket pocket. My fingers moved fast across the screen.“Why does your guy—Freddie, or whatever—keep staring at me like I owe him money?” I hit send.Wendy’s phone buzzed right after, and she glanced down. I watched the corners of her mouth curl as her fingers danced in reply.“More like glaring. Did you guys have a problem before now?”I rolled my eyes and shoved my phone back into my pocket. The glare had weight. It felt like Fred had laser vision, and I was the unlucky idiot standing in its line of fire.The doors slid open, and we stepped out into the cool hallway. Wendy adjusted her grip on her clipboard when Fred suddenly spoke.“Wendy, can I talk to you?”His voice was low, clipped. Suspicious.She turned to me with her usual cheery grin. “Wait for me here, Rafael. I won’t take long.”I gave

    FredI stabbed a piece of omelet with my fork and leaned back in my chair, scrolling lazily through my phone. The apartment was quiet, morning sun spilling through the windows and warming my bare feet against the tiled floor. I’d woken up late, skipped coffee out of sheer laziness, and was now regretting it while trying to summon the energy to head out.I shot a quick text to Liam just for fun:Me: We already miss you at the office. When are you and your husband coming back from paradise? I’m dying here. Wendy won’t stop reminding me she has a boyfriend. It’s like a disease.I rolled my eyes at the thought. Wendy’s relationship was the newest running joke in the office — every time her boyfriend called, she’d make a big show of answering with this sugary voice like she was in a Hallmark movie. Every. Single. Time.My phone buzzed a few minutes later with Liam’s reply:Liam: *Sends strings of laughing and crying emojis* I’m so sorry! But don’t worry, I’ll be back soon. But are you sure

    EpilogueThe sun spilled through the curtains in golden waves, lighting up the quiet living room. Outside, the garden was in bloom, soft petals swaying in the morning breeze. Inside, laughter echoed from the hallway — high-pitched and sweet.“Papa! Daddy!” a small voice called.Ronan looked up from the couch, setting his book aside just in time to catch a blur of energy as a little boy ran toward him. He scooped him up easily, spinning him in the air, both of them laughing.Liam walked in a moment later, holding a tray with two cups of coffee and a small plate of cookies.“Our little storm is awake early,” he said, smiling at the chaos unfolding before him.Ronan kissed the boy’s cheek, then turned that same affection toward Liam, tugging him down for a quick kiss. “And our little storm clearly missed his papa.”The boy — their boy — wriggled happily between them. He had Liam’s eyes and Ronan’s defiant chin. A perfect mix born not of blood, but of love, trust, and years of healing.Th

  • Forbidden Pleasures (MxM)   A happy day

    RonanI woke up to empty sheets.The sunlight poured in through gauzy curtains, soft and golden, the kind of light that made everything feel like a dream. I blinked slowly, dragging a hand across the warm side of the bed. Still faintly warm… but Liam was gone.I sat up, instantly alert. “Liam?”No answer.The villa was quiet except for the soft sounds of birds and waves crashing faintly in the distance. I got up, threw on my robe, and padded barefoot downstairs, heart thumping just a little too fast.Then I smelled it — eggs, honey, fresh bread.And there he was.In the open kitchen of our rented sea-view villa, standing in nothing but one of my oversized shirts — Liam. His hair was still a mess from sleep, his legs bare, his lips curved in a gentle smile as he plated more fruit.God help me.I didn’t even say anything. I just moved. Crossed the space and slipped behind him, wrapping my arms around his waist, pulling him to me.He let out that soft, startled laugh I loved. “Ronan—!”“

    LiamThe ceremony was small one, actually.When it was time for our vows, Ronan went first.He held my hands, his thumb stroking mine as he looked into my eyes like he was memorizing me all over again.“I never thought I’d fall in love with someone who’d both ruin me and save me in the same breath,” he said, his voice thick. “You taught me how to be vulnerable without fear. You made me laugh when I thought I’d forgotten how. You are my home, Liam. And I promise, on every soul I’ve buried and every bloodline I came from, I’ll spend every second protecting you, choosing you, and loving you the way you deserve. Forever.”Tears spilled down my cheeks. So many I couldn’t see properly.Now it was my turn.I took a slow breath and whispered, “I didn’t know what love was supposed to feel like until you crashed into my life and made everything make sense. I thought I was broken… but you saw every crack, every scar, and still said, ‘mine.’ Ronan… you’re my chaos and my calm, my first real love,

    Liam“Joel, please… just stop. Let my sister go. She did nothing wrong to you.”My voice trembled as I stepped forward slowly, palms up, trying not to provoke him. Chloe’s eyes met mine—terrified, pleading—and my heart crashed against my ribs.Joel’s arm tightened around her neck.“No!” he shouted, eyes wild. “No, Liam! You don’t get to beg me now. You chose him!” His gun twitched in his hand, jerking toward Ronan. “You chose him over me!”“I never—” My breath hitched. “Joel, what we had… it wasn’t real. It wasn’t love. Please, don’t do this.”“You were supposed to be mine!” he snapped, voice cracking. “Not his! And if I can’t have you… then she doesn’t get to live.”My blood turned ice.Chloe whimpered, her whole body trembling against his grip. She was crying now. I wanted to do something—anything—but my feet wouldn’t move. My lungs wouldn’t work. The air felt too thin.Then everything happened in a blur.“NO!” Ronan shouted, and before I could stop him, he charged forward.“Ronan!”
