LOGIN"Can you walk?" He asked me, and I shook my head like a child and replied. "No."
He groaned and lifted me in his arms, piggybacking me as he began carrying me out of the gym, drawing everyone's attention to us.
"That bitch is crazy." I heard someone say.
Jake took me home in my car and carried me out of the car, still carrying me in a piggyback ride toward the door of my mansion. "You are sleeping here tonight, right?" I asked him.
"Yea." He replied flatly. Our eyes landed on the door that was slightly open; maybe it was my security guard. He carried me into the house, pushing the door open with his head.
"Well, well, well, who do we have here?" I lifted my head to see Noah and a few of his goons standing around in my living room like they were waiting for me.
"What are you doing here? Didn’t you get arrested?" I inquired.
"Don’t be silly, I told you I couldn’t get arrested," Noah said, playing with the iron rod in his hand.
"I told you I was going to spend our wedding night with you, so I am here," Noah said with a shrug. "But if you don’t wanna spend it at your house, we can go to mine," he replied with a toothy grin. I didn’t know when I squeezed my fist into tight balls.
"That is not going to happen…I may have married you, but that doesn't mean we'll have a relationship because we're husband and wife." I snarled, giving him a cold glare.
"But you said you would give us a try." He protested.
"I lied, I don’t know what all this is about or why you brought your goons, but I am feeling sleepy, so you should all show yourselves out," I said, and I began tapping Jake on the shoulder. "Please take me to my room and ignore them," I said to him. Jake attempted to carry me away in the direction of the stairs when Noah stood in front of the stairs, resting his hand on the handrail. He licked his hand and used it to smooth his dirty hair backwards.
"Take my wife to my room." Noah declared. His goons then pulled guns from their pockets.
"Put the girl down." One of the goons said pointing the gun at Jake’s head.
"You are not my boss," Jake replied, attempting to go again when the goon fired a shot at us. My heart skipped a beat at the thought that Jake had been shot, but it turned out he fired the shot at the ceiling, I could see the hole it made.
"Hand over the girl now, or I am going to put the remaining bullets in your body." The goon said.
"What is this, some kind of joke? or a threat?" Jake inquired.
"Whore or Noah, or whatever your name is, you are not a cool man, you fucking disgust me, do you seriously want to force yourself on a girl because she is your wife?" Jake asked. Noah let out a soft chuckle, taking out a cigarette from his pocket and lifting it, sucking it dramatically. The alcohol was burning in my system, and I was starting to feel sleepy just listening to their crap.
"You said it, she is my wife," Noah said and released the smoke into the air. "That means I am responsible for her, not just that, she belongs to me, I own her by law and everything," Noah replied.
"You have got to be kidding me. Do you think you own her just because you got married to her?" Jake inquired.
"Yes, I own her, isn’t that what marriage is about, huh? It’s about the husband owning his wife, she belongs to him, and she has to submit to him." Noah answered.
"Ugh!!" I heard the sound of Jake rubbing his teeth together in anger. "I am not going to let you take her; you will have to kill me," Jake said.
"Then I will do it." I heard Noah’s voice; I was feeling dizzy.
"Enough!" I yelled. "Stop it, the both of you!" I shouted and jumped down from Jake’s back, staggering as I stood on my feet. I smiled and walked over to Noah, who was leaning against his chest as I looked up at him.
"You said you own me because you got married to me?" I inquired.
"Yes," he replied, smiling like a child.
"Okay, I will let you do anything you want to me tonight, but just promise me that after this you will divorce me because it seems you only want to get under my pants," I replied, taking the cigarette from him and tossing it to the floor.
"Alright, I will divorce you if you spend just one night with me." He said playing with a strand of my hair as he was eye-fucking me.
"Queen, what the hell are you doing? You shouldn’t be doing this, you know Noah can’t keep his promises, he is only using you," Jake stated.
"Tell them to go away," I said, grabbing Noah’s right hand as I started dragging him up the stairs.
"All of you go away, take him away." I heard him say as I was moving up the stairs, swaying my hips as I walked, that I could feel his lustful eyes on my body.
I took him to my dimly lit room and started undressing him while he was running his stupid hand over my body, resting his hand on my ass, and squeezing them with passion. I wasted no time in removing his chest. He moved his face closer to mine, trying to kiss me, but I didn’t kiss him back. I jumped, moved my face away, and ran my hand down his naked chest, resting it on his shorts and dragging it to the floor.
"Ooh, you are freaky. I like that." He remarked. I removed his shorts from his legs and stood up, my gaze fixed on his average-sized dick.
"What? Not satisfied?" He inquired.
"Well, I was expecting something more, but I will work with what I see," I remarked and pushed him towards the bed. He landed on the bed, smiling like a fool.
Xander’s POVThree years. That’s how long it had taken to get here. Three years of blood, sweat, and chasing shadows. And now, as the announcer’s voice boomed through the hall, calling my name, Detective Xander Aiden Carter, it all felt like a damn dream.“…for being the most successful detective in the whole of Miami and the most outstanding cop for being able to track and shut down a massive drug distribution business last month and for catching the most notorious serial killer and saving a lot of lives in the process…”The words barely registered. My eyes were locked on the golden medal the announcer held up, waiting for me to come take it. I was frozen in my seat, second row from the front, surrounded by my colleagues. Mr. Parker was on my right, Lacey on my left, her hand resting on the thigh of her new cop boyfriend from another station.The hall was packed with uniforms, even though only a handful of us were getting awards tonight. I hadn’t expected this. Not the biggest award
Xander’s POVChrist, she’s soaked, so fucking wet for me, I couldn’t take it anymore, I had to give her what she wanted. I ripped the ruined dress down her shoulders, exposing pale skin gleaming under the water, nipples tight and pebbled.My cock sprang free into the cool water, hard and aching as she guided me to her entrance.Her cunt enveloped me in one slick, scorching slide that punched the air from my lungs. Fuck, she was tight, tighter than I remember. Sweeter. Like honey and heat at the same time, and I couldn’t get enough of her sweet pussy. Her head fell back, a choked moan echoing off the tiled walls as I thrust deep, water churning around our hips.The sounds of footsteps boomed from the hallway, someone was coming, heading this way. Shit, this was it, this was what I wanted, the thrill of getting caught. Ashley’s green eyes flew wide, locked on the doorway as footsteps clicked on marble, sharp and approaching fast.The thrill hit me like lightning exactly what I craved.
Xander’s POV“I didn’t ask you to,” I stated, cutting her off. “You offered. I’m not going to let you use that against me.”She groaned, clutching her head, turning away as the tears started falling harder, faster. “You used me, Xander,” she muttered. “I put myself out there. I confessed my feelings for you. And what did you do in return? You stabbed me in the fucking back.”I stood there, stunned. Confused. We hadn’t even kissed. We hadn’t slept together. Hell, I had turned her down more than once, told her I was still healing. But she was acting like we had been in a full-blown relationship and I had just dumped her in the middle of a wedding aisle.I glanced up and saw a small crowd of our colleagues gathered behind the station doors, watching us. Lacey was still muttering all kinds of things under her breath, trying to make sense of her own heartbreak.I felt awful. Not because I thought I had done something wrong, but because she was hurting. And maybe I had underestimated how de
Xander’s POVI felt like a new man walking into the station. Sleep had finally kissed me right, and after everything that went down, I needed it.The place hadn’t changed, the same ringing phones, same exhausted faces, but the moment I stepped in, heads turned. Cops in their cubicles waved like I was some prodigal son returning from war. I didn’t wave back. I was here to settle scores.I headed straight for Mr. Parker’s office, but my eyes couldn’t help drifting to Lacey’s. She was inside, locked in conversation with two men who looked like they belonged in cuffs. She didn’t notice me. Typical. She was always laser-focused when it came to work. I would deal with her later.A sigh pulled out of me as I stopped outside Parker’s glass box and knocked. He was mid-chat with someone, but his voice boomed, “Come in.”I stepped in, then froze in my tracks.The woman sitting across from him wasn’t just any client. I knew that face. Cold. Expressionless. Challenging. Mr. Parker’s wife. I had se
Xander’s POVMelody shoved his hand away, her voice sharp and tired. “Let me alone. Let me sleep. This isn’t the only bench in this park, and you are not the boss of me.”The man sighed, gesturing to the woman beside him. “You have to get up, miss. Can’t you see my wife is pregnant? She doesn’t like standing too long. Please, have some compassion.”I glanced at the woman. Her baby bump was small, barely visible beneath her maternity gown.Melody covered her ears. “I don’t give a fuck. I came here first. Just leave me alone.”The man tried again. “Please, miss. This isn’t fair. I heard from the locals you have been here all night.”I had had enough.I rushed over and stood beside the couple, looking down at Melody. She was still in that short purple floral dress from yesterday, stained with blood. Her hair was a mess, strands falling over her face as she tried to block out the world.The couple looked at me, the man asking, “Do you know this lady?”I didn’t answer. “Mel.”Her hands dro
Xander’s POVAfter Ashley basically bribed the cops who came to check out the war at the mansion, they had turned into her personal cleanup crew. They stayed behind, helping her dispose of bodies and sweep away the chaos. I watched it all unfold, and even though I understood the necessity, a part of me still held onto the dream of becoming an incorruptible detective, someone who stood for justice, not money. But right now, I had to let go of all that idealism. My sister’s life was on the line.Speaking of her, I hadn’t seen her since she was sobbing over her dead boyfriend. I needed to find her. But first, I needed coffee.I stood in the hospital lobby, filling two cups from a coffee vending machine that looked like it hadn’t been cleaned since the early 2000s. We hadn’t slept properly since the mansion raid, and Ashley had dragged me here after Chris rushed Jake in. She wasn’t crying, wasn’t saying much, but I could tell Jake mattered to her even if he was a royal pain.With both cup
