Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend 160: The Blank Page
The morning light that crawled across the floor of Apartment 4B was grey and filtered through layers of city grime.Elion woke up slowly. His body ached—a symphony of bruises from the tackle, the fall, and the sheer exhaustion of the wedding. He was curled on his side, his arm draped over a solid warmth beside him.He opened his eyes.Cale was awake.He was lying on his back, staring at the water stain on the ceiling shaped like Florida. His face was pale, the dark circles under his eyes standing out like bruises on marble. He wasn't moving. He wasn't blinking."Cale?" Elion whispered, his voice thick with sleep.Cale didn't startle. He slowly turned his head. His eyes were dark, calculating, devoid of the morning softness Elion used to know."Subject is awake," Cale said. His voice was raspy, dry from the night."Don't call me Subject," Elion murmured, shifting closer. "I'm Elion. Your husband.""Elion," Cale corrected. "Husband. Status: Conscious.""Status: Tired," Elion groaned. "H
Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend 159: The Honeymoon in 4B
The vintage convertible rattled over the potholes of the Williamsburg Bridge, the tin cans trailing behind them creating a cacophony that drew stares from every pedestrian on the walkway.Elion gripped the steering wheel with one hand and Cale’s hand with the other."We're loud," Elion shouted over the wind."We are announcing our status," Cale said, leaning his head back against the seat. He looked pale, drained of all color, like a black-and-white photograph of a groom."Status: Fugitive?""Status: Married."Elion smiled. He couldn't help it. The word felt heavy and real in the air between them."Yeah. Married."They exited the bridge, navigating the familiar, gritty streets of Brooklyn. The sun was fully down now, the city lit by streetlamps and neon signs.Elion pulled up to the curb in front of his building. He killed the engine. The tin cans clattered to a final, sad halt."We're here," Elion said. "The Honeymoon Suite."Cale looked up at the brick tenement."Fourth floor," Cale
Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend 158: The Contract of Rain
The wind that swept through the Centurion Estate garden didn't feel like weather. It felt like a warning.It tore at the white roses zip-tied to the trellis, scattering petals across the runner like shrapnel. It whipped the tablecloths and rattled the lighting rigs. Above, the sky was a bruised, angry purple, heavy with a storm that was waiting for a cue."Places!" Mira shouted into her megaphone, her voice shrill with stress. "We are live in sixty seconds! Elion, Cale, get to the start marks! Todd, stop drinking the communion wine!"Elion stood at the entrance to the garden path, hidden behind a hedge. He was gripping Cale’s arm."Are you sure?" Elion whispered. "We can use the chair. No one will blame you."Cale stood rigid. He was leaning heavily on his crutches, his knuckles white. The navy suit fit perfectly over his bandages and the metal cage on his leg, but Elion could see the tremors running through Cale’s body. Every gust of wind that brushed his face made him flinch—the hyp
Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend 157: The Mechanics of a Vow
The sound of the drill was high-pitched and whining, like a mosquito trapped in the ear.Elion stood by the window of the Garden Room, his back to the bed, gripping the velvet drapes until his fingers ached. He couldn't watch. He couldn't watch Dr. Gupta drilling into Cale’s leg without anesthesia because Cale had refused to be sedated again."Steady," Dr. Gupta muttered. "Hold him steady.""I am holding," Cale’s voice rasped. It was tight, strained, but devoid of the scream that should have been there."Your bone density is... abnormal," the doctor said, the drill changing pitch as it hit resistance. "It's like trying to drill into concrete. Are you sure you haven't had metal implants before?""Calcium," Cale gritted out. "Supplements.""That's a lot of milk, son."Whirrrrrr. Click."Okay. The pin is set. I'm locking the external fixator. This is going to stabilize the tibia so you can stand. But you are not—I repeat, not—to put full weight on it. You lean on the crutches. Understood
Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend 156: The Terms of Surrender
The phone felt heavy in Elion’s hand. It was a burner he had found in Alex’s desk drawer—battery dead, but the charger still worked.It was 8:00 AM. Wednesday.Elion sat on the floor of the studio, his back against the red satin couch. Cale was asleep—or recharging—on the cushions above him."Are you sure about this?" Elion whispered, more to himself than to Cale."Certainty is a luxury," Cale’s voice rasped from above. He wasn't asleep. Of course he wasn't. "Probability favors the bold. Or the loud.""We're going to be very loud."Elion dialed the number. He knew it by heart. Mira Kovari had made sure every contestant memorized it on Day One.Ring. Ring. Ring."This is Mira," a voice barked. She sounded exhausted. "Make it quick, I'm managing a crisis.""Hello, Mira," Elion said.Silence."Elion?" Mira’s voice dropped an octave. "Oh my god. Where are you? The police are dragging the Hudson River.""We aren't in the river. We're dry.""Is he with you? Is he... alive?""He's here," Eli
Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend 155: The Ghost of Tuesday
The light in the studio was different than the light in the mansion. It wasn't filtered through silk drapes or manicured trees. It was raw, industrial light, cutting through the grime of the warehouse windows to illuminate the dust motes dancing in the air.Elion sat on the floor, his back against the red satin couch. He held a mug of instant coffee he had made using hot water from the tap (boiled twice, just to be safe)."Cale?" Elion whispered.Cale was lying on the couch, wrapped in the patchwork quilt. His eyes were open, staring at a water stain on the ceiling. He hadn't moved in three hours."Present," Cale rasped."You're staring again.""I am analyzing the structural integrity of the roof," Cale said. "That stain indicates a slow leak. Rot is probable.""The roof held up through the storm. It'll hold for today.""Structural failure is rarely sudden. It is cumulative."Elion sighed. He put his mug down."You smell like turpentine," Elion said. "And dried blood.""I am blending

The library was freezing.Elion sat on the floor, wrapped in the heavy velvet drapes he had pulled down from the windows. The emergency lights cast long, skeletal shadows across the rows of books.He watched Cale.Cale was sitting a few feet away, his back against a mahogany shelf. He was awake. Hi

The Grand Salon was vibrating.It wasn't a structural vibration—at least, not yet. It was the bass. A DJ booth had been set up in the corner, pumping out a rhythmic, thumping house beat that shook the crystals in the remaining chandeliers and rattled the fillings in Elion’s teeth."This is hell," E

The Butterfly Conservatory was a geodesic dome of hexagonally paneled glass, filled with lush ferns, humidity, and thousands of painted ladies fluttering in the heavy air.It was 9:00 AM. Mira had decided that the theme for the morning was "Rebirth.""Butterflies represent transformation!" Mira sho

The recovery room was white. Not the soft, creamy white of expensive stationery, but the harsh, blinding white of a place designed to erase stains.Elion sat in a plastic chair that was bolted to the floor, staring at the heart monitor.Beep... beep... beep...The rhythm was slow. Forty beats per m
