DIESEL POV

I stood by the bike, watching Daisy walk back from the ice cream counter with two cones in her hands and that full, unguarded smile lighting up her face.

That smile. Fuck, that was all I wanted — to see it on her every single day.

She stopped in front of me and lifted one cone toward my mouth, head tilted, eyebrows raised in that cute, hopeful way. “Try it,” she said softly.

I didn’t take it from her. I bent down and licked straight from the cone she held, my lips brushing her finger

    DIESEL POVI hissed through my teeth as I poured hot water over the wound. It stung like hell, but I’m Diesel for a reason. A lucky shot like this has nothing on me. It was only a bullet graze.My mind wasn’t on the wound though.It was on her.She had been a bit too quiet on the ride back. I tried to convince myself that by now she had nothing left on her mind. She had faced her demon tonight and slapped the bastard. That took guts. I believed she had no more shit to think about.I turned off the water, dried myself quickly, and wrapped a towel around my waist. The mirror showed the red line across my shoulder. It would need stitches or at least good bandaging, but that could wait a few more minutes.I stepped out of the bathroom and stopped.Daisy was sitting on the edge of the bed, her face down, shoulders slightly hunched. She didn’t even notice I was there. She was completely carried away in her thoughts.The moment I took a step forward, she jerked back to reality. She quickly u

    DAISY POVDiesel’s hand felt like the only steady thing in the world as he led me away. My palm still stung from the slap, but the burn was nothing compared to the strange lightness in my chest. It was hard to explain, but it felt as if a piece of the heavy weight I had carried for so long had finally become… smaller.Behind us, Donald’s ragged breathing mixed with the groans of his fallen men. I don’t know what Diesel did to them, but they were now on their knees, facing the wall with their hands on their heads. I didn’t give them a second glance. I didn’t need to. That chapter of my life was over.The door to the outer hallway burst open with a loud bang. Hawk stormed in first, gun raised, his face set in hard lines. Five more Storm Vipers followed close behind, their boots heavy on the concrete. Their eyes swept the room, taking in the blood, the broken bodies, and Diesel standing tall despite the bullet graze on his shoulder.Hawk’s gaze landed on us. He lowered his gun slightly,

    DAISY POVI jerked hard against Diesel’s chest in fear, my fingers digging into his blood-stained shirt. My heart was pounding so hard it hurt.The gunshot still rang in my ears.Then it echoed again — loud and sharp.But this time I knew the sound wasn’t coming from inside the room.I lifted my head and looked at Diesel’s face. There was a small smile on his lips, calm and satisfied, even as blood continued to soak through his shirt.I turned my head slightly. Donald’s men had frozen. Every one of them was staring in the same direction — toward the CCTV monitor on the wall.Right there on the screen, Hawk and several of Diesel’s men were moving through the outer hallway. They were armed and already taking down the few guards left at the entrance. Another gunshot cracked through the monitor’s speakers.“Told you that ass will be here soon,” Diesel said, his voice low and rough.Of course he wasn’t surprised. He had already told me earlier that Hawk would come soon. He knew his brother

    DAISY POVThe instant the door burst open, Donald’s men rushed in — four… five… no, now ten. My heart rate skyrocketed. There was absolutely no way Diesel could handle them all. They carried knives, bats, metal pipes, and a few guns. Their faces were twisted with pure fury.In all this chaos, Diesel was still staring straight at me, as if their presence didn’t affect him at all.“You said you’re hurt,” he muttered, his voice low and calm, like we were the only two people in the room.Are you fucking kidding me?We were both going to die, and he was worried about me catching a cold? I was already shaking with fear, my legs threatening to give out. Donald’s men were spreading out, cursing and raising their weapons, ready to tear us apart.Diesel reached out and took my trembling hand in his large, steady one. His thumb brushed gently over my cold fingers.“You’re catching a cold,” he said quietly, almost softly. “We should go home soon.”I stared at him, completely stunned. The world wa

    DAISY POVBlood dripped from my face onto the cold concrete floor.Drop… after drop… after drop.Warm and sticky, it slid down my cheek, tracing a slow path along my jaw before soaking into the collar of my shirt. The metallic scent filled my nose, thick and nauseating. My hands wouldn’t stop shaking. I stared at the spreading red spots, my vision blurring with tears.I slowly lifted my eyes and looked at Diesel.There was pure shock written across his face. His storm-gray eyes were wide, locked on the blood covering me. For a terrifying second, the whole room seemed to freeze. Then he muttered, his voice rough and low, almost broken:“Thank you, Star…”He was looking straight at me, even while Donald screamed in pain behind him, clutching his bleeding hand. Diesel didn’t spare the man a single glance. He walked toward me slowly, his heavy boots echoing in the small office. With surprising gentleness, he lifted his hand and wiped the blood from my cheek with his thumb, then from my jaw

    DIESEL POVDonald walked closer, slow and deliberate, like he owned the whole damn warehouse. His eyes went straight to Daisy, sliding over her from head to toe with that hungry look that made my blood boil.“Look at you,” he said, voice dripping with fake pity. “All dry and tired. He didn’t even take care of you properly, did he? Poor thing.”I felt my jaw lock tight. My hand twitched toward the gun at my waist. The urge to put a bullet between his eyes right then was so strong I could taste it. But I held back. For her. She wanted her chance to talk. I owed her that much.Donald snapped his fingers at one of his men. “Bring her a cold drink. She looks like she’s about to drop.”The guy disappeared for a minute and came back with a bottle of water, condensation already running down the plastic. Donald took it, twisted the cap off himself, and held it out to Daisy with that stupid smirk still plastered on his face.I wanted to smash it out of his hand. Send it flying across the room a

    Freya POV“Speak, Freya, how do you feel?” Steve asked again“It feels… warm. Wet. Your tongue is so soft right there. Mark never… he never even looked at it.”I think mentioning Mark makes him go high as Steve sucked my clit into his mouth. Deeper. Then released. Then again. Slow. “More,” I begge

    Freya POVI sat back on the bed, still unable to believe how perfectly Ben and Steve had played me. They had coordinated that whole scene just to get me to come upstairs and rest. I looked into the mirror and a small smile appeared on my face."He’s kind of sweet and thoughtful," I murmured to my r
