LOGIN“THE BRIDE GETS THE CROWN. THE BROTHER GETS THE KING.” A mistake. That's what it is. But mistakes are addictive too, sweet as hell, alluring, and happen more than once. Nicolas and I were not supposed to be. He's the enemy and I'm supposed to be the last face he would see as he takes his last breath. But that's the thing about being sent after a devil. He lures you, binds you, and takes you over and over again. I should be scared. I am. And this one is sin. He's not just my enemy. He's my brother-in-law. We are not supposed to be, our story was not supposed to be written. But he's a taste of heaven on earth and I'll willingly die smiling. My name is Saint and Nicolas is my secret, my dark desire. “Devotion Becomes Dangerous When The Devil Kneels First.”

His sobs came hard and uncontrollably, his entire body shaking beneath her arms. "Rebecca." "I am here. I'm here, Simon." "This happened because of me."She tightened her embrace. "No, it didn't." "Yes, it did!" He pulled back just enough to look at her, his eyes red and swollen. "He was with me. He was only there because of me. He pushed me out of the way, Rebecca. He saw the gunman and pushed me away. He took the bullets for me."His voice broke again. "If I had seen him sooner...if only I had been paying attention." "Simon, calm down. Please don't blame yourself." "What if something happens to him?" He asked, his voice rising with desperation. "What if he doesn't make it?"Rebecca cupped his face. "Listen. He is going to fight. Mike loves you so much to not want to see your face again. He is going to fight and come back to you. Thos
Simon could barely remember how they got to the hospital. One moment, he was on the ground with Mike in his arms, desperately trying to stop the blood flowing from his body. The next, he was behind the wheel, driving as fast as he could while repeatedly glancing at the passenger seat. Mike was barely conscious. His head rested against the seat, his breathing shallow and uneven. Blood stained his clothes, his hands and the seat beneath him. Simon had pressed a piece of fabric against one of the wounds, but it was becoming increasingly difficult to convince himself that he was doing anything useful at all. "Mike?"There was still no response. "Mike, stay with me. We are almost at the hospital."He tightened his grip on the steering wheel, his eyes darting towards the young man beside him multiple times. Mike's eyelids fluttered, but he did not speak. Simon swallowed hard. His hands were trembling so badly that he had to force himself to keep them steady. He had called Rebecca
For several seconds, Mike didn't know what to say. He licked his lips briefly and then held Simon's hand. "I am sorry you had to go through that experience."Simon nodded, accepting the words. "For years, I blamed myself. I knew I was just a child, but I couldn't stop thinking that my mother would still be alive if she hadn't gone back for me. I used to wonder whether my father would have survived too if he hadn't followed her." His lips tightened briefly. "Rebecca was all I had left. I had to grow up quickly because there was nobody else to take care of us. I couldn't afford to fall apart, so I just kept going. I think that's why I have always been so protective of Rebecca. She's my only immediate family left, and I don't think I could handle losing her too." Mike nodded slowly. "And vice versa. I don't think she also wants to lose you. How did you get into the police department?" "I saw the call for it randomly. I had to drop out of school and apply for the academy.
Mike arrived at the restaurant a few minutes before the time Simon had given him. He had spent an unreasonable amount of time deciding what to wear, eventually settling for a fitted black shirt, dark trousers and a wristwatch Nicolas had bought him some months ago. He checked his reflection on his phone screen for the third time before looking towards the entrance. When Simon eventually walked in, Mike's face brightened. "I thought you might have changed your mind." Mike said. "Can I?" Simon replied jokingly, pointing at the entrance as if insinuating that he was going back. Mike quickly grabbed him while smiling. "Don't be cruel to me, Inspector. Besides, you look good tonight but..." he moved himself closer and whispered into his ears. "...you look even better with no clothes on."Simon shook his head. "You are impossible." Mike pulled the chair out and Simon took his seat first, laughing. The evening slowly unfolded. They ordered their meals, exchanged stories about th
