Liak’s POV

It was as if every single thought required an enormous, agonizing effort just to exist. Every decision felt too heavy to carry. Even the simple act of staying awake had become a losing battle.

So, despite the danger, I fell asleep.

And for the first time in a very long time, I didn’t wake up screaming.

The nightmares still came, of course. They always did. The distorted faces, the mocking voices, the cold sting of syringes, the sterile white rooms, and the rough hands holding

    Liak’s Point of ViewWe arrive at the hospital with apprehension written on everyone’s faces. Unfortunately we still can’t see her right away, but Doctor Harrison soon appears and confirms what Garrett had already told us: Hunter’s mother was helped in time, she is stable, and there is no risk of lasting damage.Lacey hugs him tightly, and I see the relief mixed with the weight of the night slowly melting from his eyes. He thanks her from the bottom of his heart for acting quickly and calling for help in time. I stay a little farther back in the reception area, watching the scene in silence, but I feel genuine happiness for him. He looks at me for a second, and I’m sure he can read the empathy and relief in my eyes.The doctor explains that Mrs. Sônia needs complete rest now because of the medication and that she will only be able to receive visitors the following morning.It’s already past two in the morning when we finally return home. Hunter thanks Lacey again at the front door. Th

    Liak’s Point of ViewI hear Hunter calling me from the other side of the door:“Liak?”I try to control the uneven rhythm of my breathing and wipe the sweat from my face before answering:“Wait a second.”I straighten up quickly and open the door. He stares at me in surprise, his eyes scanning my tired face and my still uneven breathing. I can see that he understands what’s happening to me. He breaks the silence with concern:“About our conversation earlier… Are you okay?”I try to hide the frustration I feel with myself for not being able to fully control these reactions:“I am.”He lets out a heavy sigh, fighting his own impulse to step back, but unable to move away. Suddenly his voice breaks the silence with a raw need:“Don’t do that.”I look at him, surprised and confused:“Do what?”In a decisive movement, Hunter steps into the room, closing the door and pressing my body against the wall beside it. Our chests collide and I feel his heat fill the entire space. He looks straight i

    Liak’s Point of ViewThe rain starts falling outside, heavy and rhythmic against the window. From my room, I stay silent studying, until I hear Hunter’s footsteps in the hallway. He has finally managed to finish and send the mission report to the base.I know the last few days haven’t been easy for him. The news of the combat deaths of his fellow soldiers, Davis and Claude, weighs on the house. I see the shadow of this profession in his eyes and wonder, in silence, how much this reality affects him and worries him about his own future.Around two in the afternoon, I smell hot food. Hunter appears at the door of my room, which I left open, and calls me to eat pizza in the kitchen.“I’m coming,” I answer, gathering my things.I head to the kitchen. The atmosphere immediately becomes charged with our presence sharing that small space. Since the trip to his mother’s house, the tension between us has only increased, and the conversations we’ve had have left a trail of unspoken things in th

  • The Commander’s Dark Desire   Chapter 67

    Liak’s Point of ViewI walk toward the bathroom in my room with a heavy body that burns from the inside. The inhibitor medication and the therapy guidelines help me keep my mind clear, but the remnants of the substances in my blood still exact their price. The chemistry in my system forces involuntary and painful reactions that I have to control at all costs.After splashing cold water on my face, I leave the bathroom and sit on the edge of the bed. My breathing is short and I feel cold sweat on the back of my neck. But unlike the suffocating panic of the first times, today I can face the process with more firmness and less anxiety. I’m trying to reclaim dominion over my own body.I pass my hand over the shorts, feeling the uncomfortable pressure. I close my eyes, swallowing hard to hold back a sigh of pain and frustration. It’s an invasive sensation, a heat I didn’t ask to feel, but from which I need to free myself without depending on anyone’s help.I place my hands on the waistband

  • The Commander’s Dark Desire   Chapter 66

    Liak’s POVOn Monday morning, we left early. I drop Hunter off for his routine and head to my appointment with the therapist, while he takes Lacey to handle her affairs downtown. We arrange to meet again around noon, since he still has to give statements at the military base.When he picks me up later, I can tell from his eyes how draining the day at the base was. The situation involving my past and the investigations with my father is a constant weight. We stop briefly at a diner, where he tries to gauge how I’m doing, and then we head straight home.As soon as we arrive, he feeds Josie and goes into the living room. I sit on the sofa and pick up my phone to answer a few messages. I watch Hunter sit on the other sofa and pull out his own phone. Our eyes meet for a moment before he returns his attention to the screen.Noticing the stiffness in his shoulders and how overwhelmed he seems, I ask:“Everything okay?”He looks at me with a tired expression and decides to shift the focus of

  • The Commander’s Dark Desire   Chapter 65

    Liak’s POVI stand there, watching Hunter and Lacey. She hugs him with intimacy and kisses him on the mouth in a way that makes the nature of their relationship clear. An uncomfortable tightness rises in my chest, but I try to keep my face expressionless. Suddenly Hunter seems to notice the awkwardness of the situation and gently pulls away, using the excuse that he can’t leave me alone in the living room.When they return to the kitchen, Hunter’s hair is messy from her touches. I notice the change in my own posture and lower my gaze. I feel that he notices my reaction and becomes uncomfortable with the situation, but I remain silent.At night the four of us go out: Hunter, his younger brother Garrett, Lacey, and me. We go to an open bar. Garrett orders beers for everyone, but I prefer to stick with a Coca-Cola. Little by little I see the effect of the alcohol on Lacey. She becomes more uninhibited and pulls Hunter onto the dance floor.I watch the two of them dancing together for a f

    I opened the backpack and showed him the set of clothes I had brought. He looked at them attentively, but I couldn’t dress him with the handcuffs on. I took out the keys I had taken from the laboratory, showed them to him, and said: “I can open these, but you have to promise me you won’t run away

    In later videos, the same woman in the white coat repeats what she did before, stroking him, and then slaps his cock hard, making him cum instantly. I feel slightly unsettled watching it. They laugh at something and inject more of the liquid into his vein. In the following videos, I see them fitt

    He flinches in fear and I lose patience. I point my gun at him and force him to move. We are outside now, moving through hidden corners. I don’t want to get gunned down like the others. I notice more enemy soldiers arriving and quickly drag the prisoner into a concealed spot with me. We stay hi

    I walked a short distance and saw that the two soldiers we had left on guard were down, along with one more enemy. I moved further out and found a similar scene outside: five enemy soldiers and our four men dead. Davis was still twitching in agony. I approached him and he grabbed my uniform, gasp
