POV: Clara

The day started with a literal dog show. Henry pulled up to the mansion in his beat-up car, grinning like an idiot while a golden retriever puppy licked his entire face.

"You have to take him, Clara," Henry said, shoving the ball of fluff into my arms. "My landlord will evict me by sunset if he hears one more bark."

"Are you insane?" I hissed, trying to keep the puppy from eating my hair. "Victor hates dogs. He thinks they’re messy and beneath him."

  • Sinfully His: Craving The Devil's Son   Trap

    POV: NikolaiThe silence that followed the slamming of those car doors was louder than any explosion. I stood frozen on my one good foot, my palm sweating against the grip of the Beretta. Through the thin slats of the blinds, I didn't see the flashing blue and red lights of local police cruisers. I saw three matte-black SUVs, their engines hot and ticking in the crisp morning air. Heavy-set men in tactical gear and balaclavas were spilling out of the doors, moving with a synchronized, military precision that I knew all too well.It was Victor’s private recovery team. His personal cleaners. They didn't come to make an arrest or build a case for the evening news. They came to wipe the slate clean and bring back the dead."They’re wrapping around the back," Henry whispered, his voice shaking but his hands steady as he checked the magazine of his Glock. He looked up at me, his eyes bloodshot and pleading. "Nikolai, I swear to you, I didn't want this. I can draw their fire. I can buy you

  • Sinfully His: Craving The Devil's Son   Henry's Betrayal 

    POV: NikolaiI leaned heavily against the log wall, my breath coming in short, ragged gasps. The fever was still playing tricks with my brain, making the room tilt slightly to the left, but my eyes were locked onto Henry. Clara was standing between us like a tiny, fierce shield, her shoulders squared and her eyes flashing with a commanding authority I’d never seen in her before. I liked it. God, I loved it. But I still didn't trust the air in this room. Something felt heavy. Something felt completely off.Henry was pacing the small floor space, his hands moving wildly as he explained the logistics of the northern bunker. He looked stressed, his face covered in sweat and dirt, his torn suit jacket flapping with every step. He was talking fast, entirely too fast for a guy who usually handled a crisis like a stone-cold killer."The route is clear for now, but we have to move within the next twenty minutes," Henry was saying, his voice tight as he checked his wrist. "If we miss the windo

  • Sinfully His: Craving The Devil's Son   Henry's Arrival

    POV: ClaraThe knock came again. It was three short, deliberate taps against the weathered wood, sounding incredibly loud in the suffocating silence of the cabin.My heart didn't just skip a beat; it stopped completely. My lungs froze, and I could feel the cold sweat gluing my oversized hoodie to my spine. Nikolai’s grip on my shoulder tightened until it was borderline painful, his fingers digging into my flesh like iron claws. He didn't make a sound, but his breathing turned into a low, dangerous hiss. He leaned his weight against the barricaded door, his good hand reaching blindly for the heavy wooden chair we had jammed under the knob."Clara," a voice called out from the other side.It wasn't deep and smooth like Silas’s. It was rough, gasping, and entirely familiar."Henry?" I whispered, my voice cracking."Open the damn door, Clara," Henry panted from the porch. "It's me. I'm alone. Hurry up before someone sees me."I looked up at Nikolai. His eyes were wide, bloodshot, and swi

  • Sinfully His: Craving The Devil's Son   Paranoia

    POV: NikolaiEvery second Clara was gone felt like a drop of acid eating away at my nerves. I lay on that dusty bed, staring at the ceiling, counting the cracks in the wood just to keep from throwing up from the pain in my leg. The fever was making my skin crawl, but the helplessness was worse. I was Nikolai Draven. I didn't hide in sheds while my girl bought groceries.When the cabin door finally creaked open, I almost took my own head off turning to look.Clara walked in, carrying two plastic bags. But she didn't look like she’d just gone to a small-town store. She looked like she had just seen a ghost. Her face was completely white, her lips were trembling, and she dropped the bags onto the wooden table with a loud thud."What happened?" I demanded, my voice sharp, instantly trying to sit up. A white-hot spike of agony shot through my thigh, and I hissed, digging my fingers into the mattress. "Clara. Look at me. Did someone see you?"She took off her sunglasses, her eyes wide and

  • Sinfully His: Craving The Devil's Son   Meeting Silas

    POV: ClaraThe little grocery store smelled like stale popcorn and old wooden floors. It was light-years away from the high-end boutique markets I’d gotten used to over the last few months. There were no imported cheeses, no organic juices, and definitely no private security guards waiting by the door to carry my bags. The luxury was gone, and the transition felt like dropping from a warm bed straight onto a block of ice.I pulled the hood of my oversized gray sweatshirt lower over my forehead, my heart hammering a frantic rhythm against my ribs. The plastic sunglasses I’d found in the truck’s glove box were slipping down the bridge of my nose because my face was slick with a cold sweat. I felt like a giant, glowing target walking down the narrow aisles.Every time a floorboard creaked, I flinched. Every time an old lady looked up from her shopping cart, my stomach did a sickening flip."Did she see the morning news?" I muttered to myself, my eyes darting toward the cash register. "Do

  • Sinfully His: Craving The Devil's Son   A Map Of Sins

    POV: NikolaiBy the time I woke up, my head was pounding a bit less than yesterday, but my throat felt like I’d swallowed a handful of dry sand. I stayed still for a second, just listening. The silence of the woods was heavy, but it wasn't all that was there. Underneath the sound of the wind in the pines, there was a faint, crackling noise.It was a radio.I blinked my eyes into focus. The cabin was small, smelling of old cedar and the damp clothes we’d shed last night. Clara was sitting at a small wooden table a few feet away. She’d found an old battery-operated radio on one of the shelves, and she was leaning over it, her forehead resting in her hands. She looked exhausted. She was still wearing a shirt that was three sizes too big for her, probably something I’d left in the trunk here years ago."Turn it up," I croaked.Clara jumped, her shoulders nearly hitting her ears. She looked at me, her eyes wide and bloodshot. "You’re awake. God, Nikolai, you scared me. You were talking in

    POV: ClaraThe greenhouse smelled of damp earth and rot, a heavy scent that stuck to the back of my throat. It was supposed to be a sanctuary, a glass-walled escape from the marble and steel of the mansion, but even here the air felt thin.I found my mother sitting on a stone bench, her hands folde
