Frank tugs my arm gently, leading us down a hall until we get to a metal door.

I’m no longer fighting him at this point, and I have no doubt he feels relieved about that.

The truth is, I don’t want him spilling my secret to anyone, especially not Cicero. It's been four years since it happened, and I made him promise to keep my secret.

Frank isn’t exactly a bad person. He’s just focused on getting the best out of his client, Cicero, and is ready to go the extra mile to do that if he needs to.

  • Hockey Brother's Obsession   40. About to face the beat

    I begin to wonder if my heart would burst into pieces at the rate it’s beating. Undoubtedly, a mistake has been made if a man like this is whispering suggestive words to me in Cicero’s absence.The overpowering trance remains in place as the DJ announces the first dance. Lyon leads us to the middle of the floor. It’s a hazy blur as he moves—no—as he glides gracefully, forcing me to follow his lead.He spins me in place, moving me naturally into the choreography, his expert skills a testament that he’s from a similar background where boys were expected to learn proper dancing.Other couples join us on the floor, but I have not even the slightest clue of my surroundings.Lyon pulls me close, one hand resting on my waist. His soft breaths, the rhythmic movements- it all feels like a dream.The ground might even have opened up to swallow me whole, and I’d have been none the wiser.I do my best to remain composed, but my poise is overruled. A waft of Lyon’s musky smell drifts into my lungs

    “Chop, chop, get up, you’re following me to tonight’s fundraiser,” Evelyn announces as she pushes into my room after a brief knock.“Uhh, a fundraiser?” I ask her.“Yeah, it’s been a while since I attended a fundraiser here in Mayhaven. Since Edward… I haven't been coming to Mayhaven as often as I used to. Also, you’ve been in here sulking since we got back. I’m not leaving you all by yourself. Now get up, Sweets. I’ll help you get ready.”I groan, a perfect excuse already on my lips, but she waves it off before I could say the words.“After tonight, we’ll have a sit-down, and you tell me what you want to do with your future, Love. I’ll make inquiries on whatever you choose and fund it.”“Evelyn, but-”“No buts,” she shakes her head. “I have the money, Janey. It's not like I have anybody to spend all that money on. It's just me; Edward is gone. And I want to make sure you're stable in every aspect of your life before I leave this earth. So, since I’m leaving after the game, we can hav

  • Hockey Brother's Obsession   38. Evelyn Disbelief

    The almost sudden appearance of a police officer a few steps away from me had me almost shitting in my pants.Looking heavenwards, I say a silent prayer to God to save me from this mess.“Hello, Miss,” the officer calls, coming closer, and a wave of recognition sweeps across my face.I’ve met him before. He’s one of the officers who is handling my mother’s case.Detective Lyon…Yes, that's his name.“Hello,” I flash my sweetest smile.He probably recognized me already as he nodded his head in silent acknowledgement.“Miss Handez. Is there a problem here?” he asks, looking from me to the car that has now refused to move probably due to the tracker placed on it.Why didn’t I think of the damn tracker before mauling the car off the curb for my ridiculous adventure?“Uhm,” I clear my throat sharply and point to the car. “My car just stopped.”He watches me silently for a brief moment, and within those few seconds, I pick up how young he is…maybe in his late twenties or early thirties.“Yo

    Spending hours at a Beauty spa turned out to be what I needed… to some extent, though.Evelyn knew exactly what my skin needed, and since she’s more versed in this area than I am, I let her make the decisions.A good massage, pedicure, manicure, and new hairstyle later, we’re heading back home with me behind the wheel.But Evelyn makes us stop at a top skincare store to restock some of her favorite skincare products while forcing a couple of ceramide and peptide serums down my throat.She sends me to grab extra bottles of peptide serums for her from the shelf while she waits for me at the counter, when someone taps my shoulder from behind.“You didn’t think you could hide away from me forever, did you?”My body goes rigid as I recognize the voice. I put on a smiley face and turn to him.“Hello…uh, Mason!” I call, feigning surprise. “What are you doing here?”“What am I doing here?” He bites down on his bottom lip, nodding his head as if to say he knows what I’m trying to do. “Why have

  • Hockey Brother's Obsession   36. Evelyn Russo

    ~Janelle~I woke up the next morning with a feeling of dull unease.Probably from the effect of last night’s wine.When Erik, the housekeeper, found me in the garden beside the waterfront within the compound, he had been so kind as to offer me a glass of a rare wine he said was over forty years old.Thankfully, sipping almost half of the glass made me feel so much better and relaxed that I slowly sat down on the green pasture.However, I have no memory of how I got back to my room or even fell asleep.Strange.Rousing from my bed, the first thing that catches my eye is my cellphone and purse placed on top of the nightstand.Cicero was either here or he had the housekeeper bring them.Is this his way of extending an olive branch?Does he think giving back my belongings means we will go back to how things used to be?I hope not.Grabbing my phone, I turn it on and wait for the few seconds it takes for it to come on.Once it does, I’m left staring at my new screensaver, a picture of myse

  • Hockey Brother's Obsession   35. She's mine, all mine

    My cock is straining against my pants, precum already leaking down my fucking leg with how badly I want her as I watch her lying there on the bed.I pull my shoes off and hurry over to the bed, putting my nose right under that spot on her body that always smells goddamn amazing.Once I’m there, I inhale like a fucking drug lord, wanting to coat my insides with this scent.Her skin is so soft, so decadently soft, smelling clean and fresh and making me heady and needy.I tilt closer and allow myself a lick of her skin. A little shiver goes across her throat and arms.Goosebumps raise on her chest, and I have to tighten my fists in the sheets to stop the spear of hot, needy lust that goes through me at the thought that she wants me even in her sleep.The autoclaved pack has been opened and displayed on a sanitized trolley and carefully covered.I look at Nelle’s gorgeous curves, that soft little belly, the round hips I want to dig my fingers into.This is happening.I’m doing this.It's
