MasukDaisy PovHe stood in the doorway, his eyes scanning the room, and it landed on me. Then in Jordan. His jaw clenched.The air left my lungs slowly,“Oh no.”He walked toward us. Every step was deliberate, calculated, and controlled.Jordan looked up. "Is that…"Fear burned through me like acid"Killian," I muttered under my breath, and I instinctively stood, adjusting my dress. "Hi. I was just—""Texting me your location after you snuck out?" His voice was calm. Too calm. "Yeah. I got that."My breath came shallow.Jordan stood too. For a second, their eyes met. The tension compressed into glances. Jordan extended his hand. "You must be the bodyguard. I'm Jordan. Daisy's best friend."Killian’s gaze was unreadable, but I could feel the weight in it. "I know who you are." Their handshake was firm and it took some seconds “Good to finally meet you” Killian added."Is it?"The tension was so thick it could be cut. I placed my hand on their tangled hands trying to disentangle it."Killian.

Daisy's povI pulled into the parking lot of the café Jordan had texted me. Thank goodness Killian left me with the keys to the other car. The place was tucked away on a quiet street—red brick. Ivy climbing the walls. Small windows with curtains drawn.Perfect for staying hidden.I checked my reflection in the rearview mirror. Black face cap pulled low. Oversized sunglasses. White tennis shoes. Dark jeansI looked like I was trying to disappear.I grabbed my phone. He hesitated, then typed out a message to Killian.“ I'm meeting Jordan. Café on West Street. The one with the red door.I stared at the text.He was going to be pissed. No, scratch that. He was going to be furious.But I needed to do this. I needed to see Jordan. I needed to feel like I had some control over my own life.He'll understand eventually. I am sure of that. I hit send before I could talk myself out of it.I shoved the phone in my bag, applied more lipstick, and got out of the car. Locked it. I walked toward th
I gripped the steering wheel as I drove away from the restaurant. Mandy's words kept playing in my head."When your little erotic writer discovers she is just a pawn in your revenge game."Fuck.She wasn't wrong.I had stalked Daisy. Watched her for weeks before I "accidentally" moved in across from her apartment. Listened to her moan through the walls. Planned every interaction.All for revenge.I had sent that threatening message to her dad. Yes, it was under my command that her sister was threatened. But, it wasn't my men shooting at her earlier. They would never. Neither was it my men stalking her that day of the book reading? Someone, somewhere was meddling in my plans and I hate intruders.Someone I couldn’t account for.I was the only one allowed to threaten her, to stalk her, and to ruin her. But right then, I cared a little too much about Daisy. Not like I didn’t care before but it was just different. And I can’t even explain when my feelings shifted.Was it when I caught he
Killian's POVI checked the rearview mirror for the fifth time in ten minutes.No one was following. No cars.The road behind me was empty—just trees and asphalt.I should've felt relieved. Instead, I felt like shit.Daisy's face when I'd left - that look. The fear. Though she tried to hide it, I could still see it.Her hands shaking. Voice small. "I don't want to be alone here."Fuck.I gripped the steering wheel tighter.She was scared. I knew that. But we couldn't keep hiding forever. Couldn't keep running while the stalker pulled the strings.I needed to figure out who was behind that shooting yesterday and end it fast before they got bolder. Before they got closer. Before, I couldn't protect her anymore.“That's what you're telling yourself, Killian, to help you feel better at night?” I murmured, I exhaled and shook my head.Truth was, I needed to leave before I did something stupid.Last night nearly broke me.Her in that blue nightdress. Licking sauce off her lips. Hips swayed
Daisy’s POVI stormed upstairs and slammed the bedroom door behind me.My hands were still shaking. My body was still humming from where he'd touched me.“Guess I have proven I am not flattering myself “ I mimicked him.That smug bastard. He just made me wet, made me crave for his touch even when I knew it was forbidden. Yet he just walked away.Like it was nothing.“Fuck you Killian ” I cursed. I was pacing the room, back and forth. Trying to calm down.Trying to forget the feel of his fingers on my clit. The heat of his breath brushes my neck. The way he looked at me was like he wanted to devour me.The knock on my door brought me back to reality.“Daisy” I heard Killian’s voice. Calm and controlled.“Go away” I lashed out.“Dinner’s getting cold,” he said.“I am not hungry” I yelled. We both knew that was a liar. But I’d rather starve than sit across from him pretending everything was fine.“Leave me alone Killian”SilenceThen he said ” You can’t hide forever.”“Watch me”He pause
Daisy pov Not now……please don't stop,” I pleaded. Whoever was calling must be an enemy to my pleasure. And then he added a third finger thrusting it in and out ensuring it touched all angles. His tongue back to my clit licking, sucking the juice flow out. “Ughhh…ugggh …” I cried, my body te
DAISY’s povMy heart raced.I felt something break inside of me. “How did this stalker find us? “ Fear curled in my gut.Killian instinctively placed a hand on a small part of my back not tight but firm, guiding me toward the parking lot with quiet authority.And that instantly sent a shiver up m
Killian pov“We were both adults who needed to satisfy our needs and we did so that was fair enough” Daisy said.Those words kept playing in my headI poured more tequila into my glass and winced slightly as it burned its way down my throat.I shouldn't be this upset.It wasn't the words that annoy
Daisy’s POVI batted my lashes. “ You had no right to do that…I was talking to my best friend.”He didn't answer. Just gave me a look.His eyes were dark. Intense. As if he were trying to memorize my face.“Why are you looking at me like that**?” I whispered “Like I am crazy “Killian snorted “I am
