SIR #29: Stay Behind Me
The pounding on the motel door stops for half a second, then starts again, heavier this time. David’s hand tightens around the phone. Maya’s voice spills out urgently from the speaker. “David, you need to get out now. They’re already–” He ends the call with his thumb and tosses the phone onto the bed. I’m already moving, snatching my dress from the floor and yanking it over my head while I step into my shoes. David grabs his pants, pulls them on in one motion, then reaches for the gun he left on the nightstand. “Stay behind me.” I don’t argue. The adrenaline from earlier hasn’t faded; it’s just shifted into something colder and more focused. Another knock, then the voice follows again, calm now, almost polite. “Mr. Reid. Mrs. Calder. I know you’re both in there. Open the door and let’s have a civilized conversation. I’d prefer not to break it down.” I glance at David. “Window?” David shakes his head. “We’re on the second floor. It's too high. We need to go through him.” He move
SIR #28: You Chose FOR Me
“What the hell did you do?” David asks again, quieter this time, but the edge is still there. Nora blinks once, slow, like she’s processing the question through post-orgasm fog. Then understanding dawns and her expression shutters. She pushes at his chest, just hard enough to make space. He lets her have it, rolling to the side so she can sit up, the sheet pooling around her waist. She doesn’t bother covering herself. “What are you talking about?” she asks, her voice dangerously even. He reaches for the phone, thumbs the screen awake, and holds it so she can see the missed call log. PI Lab Results. Three attempts in the last four minutes, then the text that came through right after the final ring. He turns the screen toward her. 《Preliminary analysis complete. No match. Paternity probability 0.00%. Full report emailed.》 Her face doesn’t change after she finished reading it. Not even a flicker. But he knows her too well. The slight tightening at the corners of her mouth, the way
SIR #27
His mouth crashes back onto mine the second the realization hits us both, and this time there is no hesitation, no careful testing of boundaries. David kisses me like a man who has spent five years starving and finally found the only meal that ever mattered. His tongue slides against mine, demanding, claiming, and I meet him with equal hunger because the truth is I have been starving too. I fist my hands in his shirt and yank hard enough to hear buttons pop. He growls low in his throat, the sound vibrating through my chest, and shoves me backward until my spine hits the motel wall with a dull thud. The cheap plaster gives slightly under the force. Neither of us cares. His hands are everywhere at once – sliding up my ribs, cupping my breasts through the thin fabric of my dress, thumbs brushing over my nipples that are already painfully tight. I arch into the touch, gasping against his lips when he pinches just hard enough to make my knees buckle. “Fuck, Nora,” he mutters in a rough
SIR #26: You Look Your Best With A Gun In Your Hand
I stare into the empty space where the ledger should be, my pulse loud in my ears, each beat reminding me how quickly everything we built to protect ourselves has crumbled. David exhales sharply beside me, the sound cutting through the silence. “Someone knew exactly where to look.” I don’t answer right away. My mind is already racing backward, replaying the contents of the documents we confiscated from Malcolm that day. I turn to David. “You told me the second key was somewhere no one would ever find it.” “It was.” His jaw is tight, eyes fixed on the empty box as though it might suddenly produce the ledger if he glares hard enough. “I kept one here. The other is buried under six feet of concrete in a warehouse I bought under a shell company in Jersey. No one knew about that warehouse except me. And you.” I step back, arms folding across my chest. “You think I told someone?” “I think someone found out.” He finally looks at me, expression unreadable. “The list of people who knew t
SIR #25: And Then What?
The fluorescent lights hum above me as I crouch behind the row of parked ambulances, watching the side entrance of the lab like it might blink first. “Camera feed looped,” Nico murmurs through my earpiece. “You’ve got exactly eleven minutes before the system runs a checksum and realizes something’s off. Twelve if you move fast.” “Eleven is plenty,” I whisper, adjusting the hood over my hair. “Still can’t believe you dragged me into this,” he adds. “Again.”I'd called Nico on my way to the hospital. I'd felt bad about waking him up by this hour, but I needed someone tech savvy to help me break in and Nico is the best hacker I've ever known. And he loves me. I smirk despite the tightness in my chest. “You love being useful.” “I love not being in jail.” “With your pretty face, I'm sure you'd fit right in,” I joke, then add softly, “I owe you.” “I’ll add it to the tab.” A pause. "Code's 7842. Camera loop starts in thirty seconds. You have four minutes before the system resets. Go."
SIR #24: Someone They Call Shadow
I sit on the edge of Lucy's bed long after she falls back asleep, her small hand still curled around mine. The room is dark except for the faint glow of the nightlight shaped like a crescent moon. I stare at it, thinking about how everything I thought I could control is slipping through my fingers. My husband pulled a gun on me and my ex husband yesterday. My daughter was threatened at her school during recess. The freaking mafia are after me for a ledger I have no idea about. My life, the one I rebuilt brick by careful brick, feels like it's made of sand. I kiss her forehead, careful not to wake her again, and slip out of the room. The hallway is quiet. Vincent is in the guest room tonight, and that's perfect honestly. I really don't want to see his face right now, don't want to hear another apology that won't fix anything. I go to my study instead, lock the door behind me, and sit at the desk. My phone is in my hand before I even think about it. I dia
