TYLER

There are offices that breathe life, and then there’s my father's Damian Valorti’s. His own office didn’t breathe, it scares the crap out of me.

The curtains were too gloomy for warmth to sneak in, the carpets too thick for footsteps to make a sound, the air too stale from cigar smoke ground into polished mahogany. His desk was as big as a judge's bench, his throne elevated above his level, and his presence—my father's presence—filled the entire room with the solemnity of a cathedral wher

  • STEEL'S CURVY SIN & SECRETS   CHAPTER 79: CLUB

    CATALINAThe club throbbed before I even entered. Bass like a heartbeat, lights slicing through smoke from cigarettes, bodies generating heat and rhythm. I had not been in such a place in years, not since the world separated into lines of allegiance and trenches of sorrow that created me a mother at the age of still being a whole child but tonight wasn't about the music. It was about her. My very beautiful untamable best friend who would never crack before any of us in the light of the day.I found her in the center of it all, like the universe had built the room around her royal majesty- Sin.She was wearing to kill—black silk outfit slit high enough to make the men around her forget their own names, heels high enough to kill, earrings flashing at each burst of strobe light. Her hair on fire around her face, caught in mid-dance. And God, dancing. Free. Untouchable. As if all the weight she bore during the day melted into the floor with each move.I almost didn't want to intrude. Almo

  • STEEL'S CURVY SIN & SECRETS   CHAPTER 78: CALLING HER

    STEELI lit up three cigarettes on the drive back to my club, one after the other, the window cracked enough to let the smoke whip out into the night. None of them calmed me down at all. Sin walking away like I wasn’t worth a damn breath still burned a hole straight through me.By the time I parked and stomped inside, the bass from the speakers rattled the walls and the smell of liquor clung to everything like perfume gone sour. My people nodded at me, moved out of the way, like they could sense the storm rolling off me. I ignored them, heading straight for my private booth.Except someone was already sitting there.An older man, sharp suit, silver hair slicked back, posture like he owned every damn room he walked into. Adrian Morel. My uncle. I've seen enough pictures from Knox to know every single face in the Morels and this man is the shadow every whisper in this family seemed to circle back to.He was sipping whiskey like he had all the time in the world. And spread across the tab

  • STEEL'S CURVY SIN & SECRETS   CHAPTER 77: MEETING

    KNOXIf there’s one thing I’ve learned in this family, it’s that silence is not safe in the slightest stance.Silence usually means someone’s about to explode and right now Melissa was sitting across from me in my office, hands trembling so bad she couldn’t even get the cap off her water bottle. Her face was pale, her eyes rimmed red, and for the first time since I’d known her from birth—since she’d been dragged into this circus—she looked small. Breakable.I leaned back in my chair, folding my arms. “Okay,” I said quietly. “Talk to me. What’s got you shaking like a leaf?”Her laugh came out jagged, like glass in her throat. “You don’t… you don’t want to know.”“Melissa.” My voice came out sharper than I meant. She jumped, and I softened it. “Hey. It’s me. If you’re sitting in here like this, you already decided I deserve to know. So just… spit it out.”She swallowed, gripping the bottle so hard I thought it’d burst. Her eyes darted everywhere but mine. Finally, her voice broke.“It’s

His desk was as big as a judge's bench, his throne elevated above his level, and his presence—my father's presence—filled the entire room with the solemnity of a cathedral where his gospel was the only law and there I was in front of him, his blood in my veins but his shadow upon me."You seem bothered," he said to me, never looking up from the glass of whiskey that sat in his hand. His voice was like that velvet one, the sort that made you forget the razorblades sewn into the fabric."I am," I said, my jaw locked in a tight square.He smiled, never looking up. "I can only hazard a guess as to why."I shifted my weight. I did not wish to be here, in this manner, but o

  • STEEL'S CURVY SIN & SECRETS   CHAPTER 75: HEALING

    SINThe entrance door slammed behind me harder than I intended and, for once, I didn't mind waking up the whole damn building because right now my emotions are all over the place and I'm trying to stay calm.My boot heels pounded the marble floor, echoing like I'm marching around a cathedral instead of my own building.I yearned for silence. I yearned to crouch in my couch's corner, close my eyes, and allow the weight of the last hour to crush me until I could no longer feel it all.Instead, he stood.Sheriff Valour.Planting himself in my living room as if he were a guest who'd overstayed his welcome, hat on lap, eyes cast downward, shoulders too tense to be relaxed."Sin," he said softly when he saw me.I just wanted to yell. Or laugh. Or maybe both. But instead, I placed my purse on the table and crossed my arms. "Sheriff makes house calls these days?"His jaw tightened. "I wanted to talk to you.""Oh yeah." I untied my shoes and stomped past him, but his eyes followed me. Heavy. S

    MELISSA I’d gotten used to sneaking in through doors, used to shadows and whispers and soft bedsheets I shouldn’t have been tangled in. For three years, that was my reality with Jaden and Jasson — secret, sacred, sinful. It had always been just us, our private bubble that no one could burst yet I always prepared myself for the day we got caught; the boys had insisted we went public after my dad caught us but I wasn't ready neither was I sure that they took us seriously and I thought I had time until she walked in.Sin.The woman who raised them, the woman who had unknowingly been sharing me with them, their mother, my godmother, my idol whom I adored with my whole heart and the one person I wanted to come clean to before she caught us in this compromising position. The red of her coat seemed to blaze in the dim apartment light, her eyes sharper than any blade, her silence louder than thunder. My lungs forgot how to work properly, Jaden’s hand dropped mine like it was burning coal. J
