KILLIAN

The pain in my ribs was a bitch, but it was nothing compared to the way my mind was slowly descending into chaos. Matteo was alive. Matteo tried to kill me. Matteo was associated with the phoenix. How did things get so out of hand? I felt physically sick while I sat there letting Alexa button up my white shirt.

She knelt in front of me, her brows furrowed, biting the corner of her lip.

"I swear this shirt was custom tailored to torture people with fractured ribs," she muttered under her breath.

"Should've gone with the hoodie."

"You, should’ve stayed in the hospital bed, but you're allergic to common sense, so here we are."

The urge to smile tugged at my mouth before I could stop it.

God, I hated how easily she got to me now and how fast it had happened.

Every wall I'd spent the last few years fortifying around her was just...gone.

Leveled in a heartbeat. Or maybe in the seconds after the blast, when I'd felt her body under mine and realized I'd rather die than lose her ag

  • His Bride By Force   40: Third Time’s A Curse

    ALEXA Okay. So here's the thing. You're not supposed to kiss the man you were ordered to kill.You're especially not supposed to kiss him while you're straddling him with a knife to his chest.Oops.His hands found my hips, and my heart took one long, dramatic pause, like it had no idea which team it was playing for anymore.The enemy?The ex?God, I was so screwed.His lips moved against mine with that signature Killian arrogance, the kind that said, 'I know you're dangerous, baby, but I'll still die in your arms, smiling.' And the worst part? My body was matching his energy because it was a traitor.I should've pulled back.Instead, I tilted my head and deepened the kiss.Killian groaned deeply, and it echoed straight down my spine like an earthquake. The good kind. The kind that levels your internal infrastructure.The blade was still in my hand.My sanity? Missing. Probably on vacation.My mouth moved from his lips to his jaw, then down his throat."Alexa—" he groaned.Holy s

  • His Bride By Force   38: Testosterone Is A Disease

    ALEXA Okay. So here's the thing about head injuries. Apparently, they're serious.And apparently, when your mafia husband has both a fractured rib and a concussion, you're not supposed to let him fall asleep, even if he looks like a war-weary Greek god who could keel over at any second."Killian," I snapped, slapping his thigh gently but firmly. "Hey! Eyes up here, husband!"He blinked slowly. As if someone had dialed his brain speed to buffering.Then his head lolled a little to the side. Again.Dear God. Not today, Satan. Not today."I swear, if you close your eyes again, I'm going to—""What? Kiss me back to life?" he rasped, finally turning his head.I blinked."...No. I was going to stick you with a fork."He snorted.It was the smallest victory of my day, and I accepted it like a Nobel Peace Prize.However, that victory didn't last long because in the next few minutes, I had to constantly poke him."Killian." I poked his arm for the fifth time. "Open your eyes."He stayed u

    ALEXA The thunderous sound of the explosion had my ears ringing. And before I could hit the ground, I felt him move.Killian's body twisted in midair as I slammed into him, only for him to catch me, turn, and shield me as the shockwave hit.We landed hard. His weight almost crushed me, his arms locked around my head as the ground convulsed beneath us. Black spots swam at the edges of my vision. I heard the sound of something shattering. A little distance away, someone screamed. They all sounded far away though.And nothing was clearer than the sound of my own heartbeat thundering like a war drum in my ears and the groan that rumbled from his chest.The smell of smoke, dust, and blood assaulted my nostrils, making me cough."Killian," I gasped, still pinned beneath him. "Killian—"He didn't move for a second.Then, slowly, he pushed himself up, just enough for his weight to ease off my ribs. His face hovered inches above mine, a thin line of blood trailing from his temple to h

    ALEXA "Wait..." I blinked at him, bewildered. "You're allergic to cats?!"Killian who was six-foot-something of tattooed intimidation stood there looking as if he'd just been caught in a crime scene he'd orchestrated.He sniffled once. "Apparently still am."I stared at him, bewildered."Oh my God," I muttered, bringing a hand to my mouth. "You brought me to a place full of cats to impress me...even though you're allergic?"He tried to play it cool, but the slight red tinge creeping up his neck betrayed him."I didn't realize they had cats here," he said flatly. It was a dumb lie."Really?" I tilted my head. "So what? You thought this was an alpaca-only petting zoo?"He ignored me, rubbing his temple. I crouched again to stroke the kitten's fur, deliberately glancing up at him."You're turning red.""No, I'm not.""You are. You're blotchy."Another sneeze exploded from him. The tabby kitten looked personally offended.I let out a laugh.He pulled a pristine handkerchief from his

    KILLIAN I yanked her back. She slammed into my chest, and I swear, my knees nearly buckled from the sheer terror that had gripped me."No," I growled into her ear. "No, Alexa. Don't you dare."My voice cracked.It never cracked.But it did just now.My grip tightened around her middle. I could feel her ribs beneath my hands. I could feel her heart racing just like mine.And fuck, I hated her.I hated that she made me feel this much.I despised the fact she could still crush me with a single step.But I also...God help me, I loved her.Even with the past choking me like tendrils of smoke that I couldn't escape from.And seeing her broken didn't bring me satisfaction.It gutted me.She didn't fight me. That scared me more than anything. She just... went limp, collapsing against my chest. My fingers curled tighter around her.She was smaller than I remembered. Or maybe just... hollow. And that hurt worse than the goddamn bullet.....The cursor blinked at me, taunting me as if it
