The Rake Enemies

The sun was setting as I leaned against the balcony railing, staring out at the city skyline. My thoughts were a chaotic swirl, much like the colors of the sunset. I had left Claymon behind—his coldness, the hurt, the pity that clung to us like an unwanted shadow. Now, standing here, I felt the weight of uncertainty lifting, even if just slightly.

Harreld was inside, his presence both comforting and electrifying. Ever since our unexpected connection, everything felt different. But there was something lurking beneath the surface—a tension I couldn’t quite place.

“Marissa!” Harreld’s voice called from the living room, pulling me from my thoughts. I turned to see him emerging, a playful smirk on his face, but his eyes held a seriousness that contradicted it.

“Yeah?” I replied, trying to keep my tone light, even as my heart raced.

“Come here. I need your opinion on something.” He gestured toward a large map spread across the coffee table, littered with notes and marked locations.

  • In Bed With A Rake   Another Deal With A Rake?

    Sure! Here’s a revised scene from Marisa’s point of view, reflecting that she has already divorced her husband.---The dim light flickered overhead as I set the small table in the hideout. My hands moved mechanically, placing two plates of hastily prepared pasta, steam curling into the silence. It felt surreal to be here, especially after the whirlwind that had led to my divorce. The air was thick with unspoken words, a tension that settled heavily in my chest.Harreld lounged against the wall, arms crossed, a smirk on his lips that hinted at mischief. “Is this your idea of a romantic dinner?” he teased, his tone playful yet charged.I shot him a glare, crossing my arms tightly. “Don’t flatter yourself. This is just sustenance.” The words were defensive, a shield against the pull he had on me.He chuckled, leaning forward slightly. “Sustenance for what? A new chapter in your life?” I felt my cheeks flush with a mix of embarrassment and something else—something more dangerous. “You t

  • In Bed With A Rake   Club With The Rake?

    The neon lights of the club flickered as I pushed through the heavy door, the bass thumping like my heart. I hadn’t intended to come here again, but something about the chaos felt comforting after everything with Claymon. The bartender's startled look reminded me I was stepping back into a world I thought I had left behind."Marissa!" he called, but I waved him off, already scanning the room for a familiar face. I wasn’t here for him—I was here for Harreld.He was leaning against his sleek black car outside, arms crossed, a figure of calm in the chaos around him. As I approached, I could see the tension in his shoulders. “You’re late,” he said, his voice low, almost teasing.“Traffic,” I replied, smirking, but I could sense he wasn’t in the mood for jokes.“Let’s talk,” he said, his expression shifting from playful to serious. “I need to know what happened with Claymon.”I sighed, the weight of my recent conversations flooding back. “We talked. It’s over. He… he doesn’t love me, and I

  • In Bed With A Rake   What's Happening to Mr.Rake?

    Harreld’s presence had shifted something inside me, igniting a flame I thought was extinguished. I stepped into the sleek, black car he had waiting, and as I settled into the leather seat, I caught his gaze—intense, almost protective.“Where to?” I asked, trying to keep my tone light despite the weight of our recent conversations.“Somewhere we can talk privately,” he replied, his voice low and serious.The drive was filled with electric tension, the kind that buzzed just beneath the surface. I knew Harreld was a mafia boss, a powerful figure who commanded respect and fear. But right now, it was his gentleness that intrigued me. I could sense the complexity behind his rugged exterior.“Are you worried about Claymon?” he asked, breaking the silence. His eyes flickered toward me, gauging my reaction.“I’m not worried about him,” I said firmly. “I’m more concerned about what comes next for me. I’m done with that chapter.” Harreld nodded, though his expression remained serious. “Good. Y

  • In Bed With A Rake   A Danger with the Rake?

    The wind whipped through my hair as I leaned against the railing of the balcony, staring out at the sprawling landscape below. The mountains loomed in the distance, their peaks dusted with snow, while the sun dipped low in the sky, painting everything in hues of orange and purple. This place was a far cry from the chaos of my life back home.Harreld stood beside me, his presence both comforting and intense. I could feel the warmth radiating from him, a stark contrast to the chill in the air. I had always felt a connection with him, a spark that ignited something deep inside me, but I was still grappling with the remnants of my past. "Beautiful, isn't it?" he said, his voice low and smooth. I nodded, trying to push aside the thoughts of Claymon and the mess we left behind. "It is. I never thought I’d find peace like this."Harreld turned to me, his gaze piercing. "You deserve this, Marissa. You deserve to be happy."There was a sincerity in his tone that made my heart flutter, yet I

  • In Bed With A Rake   Is the rake can be Jealous?

    I sat at a corner table in the café, swirling my coffee and watching the steam rise. Claymon walked in, looking as disheveled as I felt. I couldn’t help but roll my eyes. Did he really think he could waltz back into my life after everything? When he approached, I gestured for him to sit, but I felt a strange sense of detachment. “So, you decided to show up,” I said, leaning back in my chair, feigning nonchalance.“Yeah, I thought we should talk,” he replied, a hint of uncertainty in his voice.I sipped my coffee, the warmth only reminding me of how cold our relationship had become. “Talk? About what? How you decided to cheat on your wife while I was right in front of you?”He sighed, running a hand through his hair. “I know I messed up, Marissa. I didn’t want it to end up like this.”“Didn’t want what?” I challenged, raising an eyebrow. “To hurt me? Or to have me finally see you for what you are?”He winced, and for a fleeting moment, I felt a pang of guilt. But it quickly faded. “I
