LOGINElian breathed hard, his senses going haywire as he jumped Dex and they both went down hard. Dex fell to the floor first and then Elian, right on top of him.
Elian wrapped around Dex's neck and he squeezed with a sickening glint in his eyes. He wanted to see as life left his eyes, he wanted to be the last person Dex saw as his world went black. But Dex didn't struggle, he just chuckled, despite being choked, and stared back into Elian's wild eyes. His bloody nose only made his grin more demonic. “Do it.” Dex rasped as Elian squeezed tighter. “Finish it, little viper. Let's see if you have the guts, you'll kill me and then be my widow. Either way you're still my little bitch.” He sneered. The mockery snapped the last threads of Elian's restraint, and before he could think of any other way to kill his husband, Dex's hands came around Elian's wrists with an overwhelming strength and yanked them off. In one swift motion he flipped them both and suddenly, he was on top of Elian and Elian found himself beneath the man he was trying to kill a few seconds ago. Dex's knees pinned Elian's thighs to the floor as he held his wrists above his head, pinned to the floor. Elian let out a frustrated breath, he really needed to start getting comfortable in this position. “Get off me you filthy bastard.” He hissed and arched his back, trying to get him off. Dex leaned down close, very close. All of a sudden, the subtle sexual tension beneath the physical tantrum came to life. It was a wild, hungry energy that felt like a live wire inbetween them. They weren't just looking at each other, they were literally fucking each other with their eyes, it was like a silent battle to see who would break first. “Look at you.” Dex whispered dangerously. “All that screaming, all the fight.” He continued as he pressed a knee against Elian's hard member. “You're so fucking hard for me. Admit it, you don't like the thought of any other person touching me. The thought makes you want to crawl out of your skin…. into mine.” “I'd rather fuck a cactus!” Elian spat, his chest heaving. “I'd rather let a pack of rabid dogs use me as their chew toy than admit I want a single thing from a pathetic, narcissistic stain like you.” Dex barked out a laugh, surprising Elian. He wondered what was so funny and the thought only irritated him more. To Dex, the unhinged insults were like a drug. “Is that so? You have such colorful imagination sweetheart, such a shame I'm about to ruin that for you.” He whispered and leaned closer, his dark gaze dropping onto Elian's lips. Elian's breaths had already became shallow long ago, his heart slammed against his ribs as he fought so hard to keep himself at bay. But the knee pressing down on his dick wasn't making anything easier. “You want me to fuck the anger out of you.” Dex whispered against his lips. “You want to see if I am dangerous in bed as I am with a gun.” Dex's words were like fuel to Elian's fire. It only made everything worse and he hated it, he hated that he was feeling so much desire for the man he wanted to put a bullet into his brain. “I’d rather be buried alive.” Elian choked out and Dex smirked. “We'll see.” Dex said and leaned closer. Instead of a kiss, he took a bite of Elian's lower lip. Elian gasped, the sharp sting of pain instantly melting into white-hot wave of unexplainable heat. He tasted his own blood, mixed with the overwhelming scent on Dex's cologne, and it was the most intoxicating thing he'd ever felt. He squeezed his eyes shut and tried to control himself but his body kept on betraying him. Dex was the culprit, because with just his knees, he was keeping the right pressure on the right places, giving very little to no strength like Elian wanted. In such craze filled state, he wished Dex would just grab his dick and jerk him off until he came into his hands. But he couldn't. Not when Dex was looking down at him like he was winning. “Liar.” Dex breathed, rubbing his free hand on his hip, dangerously close to his groin. “You're hard as a rock. Beg me, Elian. Beg me to fuck you right here on floor.” Elian looked at Dex's face, eyes filled with agony of lust. “Go to hell…” he barely manegad to let out. Dex chuckled darling, licking his lips as he looked at the man beneath him heatedly like he wanted to ruin every single part of him. “I'll go to hell…but I'll make sure to take you with-” The dark, lust filled moment was suddenly broken by a sharp, electronic ring. It was Elian's phone, discarded on the floor near the sofa, probably during their heated fight. The phone was vibrating violently as if it was about to blow. Dex growled and reached out for the phone with his free hand. He checked the caller ID and his face immediately shifted to a cold mask. Before Elian could ask who was calling, Dex swiped the screen and held it between their faces. “The both of you. Get over here right now!” Jacob's voice washed over them like a bucket of cold water. They knew it wasn't a request, it was an order. Dex hung up and looked down at Elian. The wide, sickening grin from earlier returned to his face as his eyes lingered on Elian's bitten lip. He released Elian's hands from his hold and stood up, reaching out his hand. “Duty calls, husband. But don't worry I'm not done with you yet.” Elian rolled his eyes and got up himself, ignoring Dex's hand that was reached out to him. “You can go and fuck yourself.” He said and walked past Dex, leaving him alone in the room. Dex chuckled to himself, biting his lips as his eyes followed Elian's figure walking out the door. “We'll see about that sweetheart.”10 Years Later(After Nora's Kindergarten graduation) Nora is now 15 Dylan is 10 It was that time of the year again, when the city softened under lights, when cold air carried the smell of pine and sugar. Inside the house, the season had already claimed every corner. Gold ribbon, warm lamps, a tree bright enough to make the windows glow against the evening. They were preparing for a tradition that had held steady for twelve years now, ever since they all came together one in a while, they decided to make it a routine. Three years after Nora came into their lives, the gatherings had begun only a few times. And what started as cautious dinners slowly became a ritual. Dex, Elian, Nora, then Mark and James, later Dylan, and eventually the newest member of the family, Jayden. “When are they getting here?” Nora asked, hovering near the front table in fuzzy socks, already dressed for the evening gathering. Dex glanced up from adjusting a stack of plates. “Soon.” As if the universe ha
5 years later- Nora's Kindergarten Graduation Ceremony“Don’t you think we might be doing too much?” Dex muttered as the car rolled to a stop outside the school gates. Beyond the entrance, pastel balloons drifted against the celebration hall’s glass front, and clusters of parents moved in their own private separations, full of pride and camera flashes.Dex sat still for a second longer, eyes scanning the building like it was a venue that might grow teeth.“We look like we came to buy the school, not attend a graduation.” he lamented. Elian unbuckled his seatbelt with unbothered elegance. “Everything is fine. I’m sure half these kids have parents as rich as we are. It doesn’t look like a big deal here.” He glanced sideways, mouth curving. “It’s our daughter’s graduation. Stop looking so damn constipated and wary of every little thing. You know Nora is going to notice if you walk in like you’re expecting an ambush.”Dex sighed, rubbing a hand over his face, and deliberately softened
Elian’s fingers tightened on the page. “Fuck.” He lowered the letter and looked properly at the child. She was tiny, around six months, barely able to sit up on her own. The loose clothing on her body was faded and thin from too much washing, clearly one of the few things she owned. Her face was blotchy from crying, lashes wet, breath hitching in small broken waves. Underfed. Alive in the middle of a room that nowhere promised her a future. Elian looked at her, and he felt something unexpected spark in his chest. A strange, sharp longing he had no idea what it could be. He didn't even know when he began reaching out, slowly. And to his surprise, the baby reached back, small arms stretching toward him with absolute trust she had no reason to give. Elian lifted her into his arms and stood. She barely weighed anything. The lightness of her was unsettling. His eyes flicked to the malnourished body on the floor, and any question about whether the child had been properly fed answer
Several months had passed since the start of the Russo-Virelli Era, and the near-fracture of everything Elian and Dex had forced into existence. In that time, the impossible had become routine. The Russo side and the Virelli side learned how to occupy the same structure without constantly reaching for each other’s throats. It did not happen easily of course. Old loyalties died hard, men who had grown up hating the opposite name had to take orders under a joint rule, share routes, split revenue, and answer to two dons who refused to rank one bloodline above the other. Then there were meetings that nearly turned into brawls, sector captains who tested the new chain of command and learned, publicly, what the cost of nostalgia was. There were nights of cold cooperation that slowly hardened into something more stable than either side expected. Not everyone adapted of course. That was impossible. Some went rogue, and while some some just turned the other side, some tried to carve pri
Mark stood outside James’s door longer than he meant to, shifting from one foot to the other. The hallway was quiet, too quiet for how hard his pulse was working. After pondering all night. He now had a plan to get his boyfriend to forgive him. He had done this kind of thing before. All he had to do was just show up, look sincere, give him the best puppy eyes, and most times it worked. Though tonight he was not so sure. James had walked away from him twice already, something that had never happened before. Finally, after summing up all his courage in one breath, he knocked. A few seconds later the door opened, revealing the face of his boyfriend that he'd missed so damn much. James took one look at him and rolled his eyes. The reaction hurt much more than Mark expected. He bit his lip to cover it, but the truth felt ugly in his heart. James had never looked unhappy to see him before. At least not like this. If his boyfriend was regarding him with this much irritation, then he
Dex stepped out of the elevator and checked both directions before starting down the hallway, phone pressed to his ear. “What room number was it again?” Mark’s voice came through, low and careful. “107.” “Noted.” he replied and hung up. He kept walking until reached the room with the brass numbers on the door matching the exact number he had in mind. He stopped in front of room 107, stared at it for half a second, took a deep sigh, realizing how stupid this was, how stupid he was. He stood there for several more seconds then pressed the doorbell and waited. A few seconds passed, then Elian’s voice came from the other side, “Who is it?” Dex cleared his throat and tried to make his voice sound like it wasn't him. “Room service.” There was silence at first. Then the lock turned. The door opened to Elian in a bathrobe, hair still wet from the shower, eyes carrying zero surprise and even less welcome. The look he gave Dex was dry enough to make Dex realize that Elian knew it was h
Dex slammed Elian against the glass wall of the bathroom, getting out a low groan from him. In a swift move, he turned on the shower and the water came down on them like a storm. The water was a deafening roar against the glass wall that did nothing to cool the fever burning between them. Elian’
“I expected you to be occupied with each other.” Jacob said coldly, looking at their disheveled state. “But I did not expect you to be so occupied that you would allow three million dollars worth of high grade weaponry to be stolen at the warehouse, by a street gang.”Elian's breath hitched as he r
Elian's fingers drummed on the table repeatedly as Marie, his personal assistant, ran through the details of the ongoing shipment of weapons which seemed to be at stake at the moment. But Elian didn't hear anything Marie was saying, all her words were flying over his head as he kept staring at the
Elian stormed into the wildly decorated bedroom, already peeling off every layer of clothing on him. He threw the million dollar suit on him to the floor and turned to glare at his rival, aka his husband, who just walked past him, pretending as if he wasn't even standing there.Anger boiled in him
