The Don's Dirty Obsession Coffee with the Ghost of What Could Have Been
Marcus was already there when Cedric pushed through the door, sitting in a corner booth like he belonged in a goddamn movie, wearing a soft grey sweater that had absolutely no business making him look that good. The coffee shop smelled like cinnamon and fresh bread and every stupid, ordinary thing Cedric had spent six years convincing himself he didn't want.A hot cup of black coffee sat waiting across from him.Cedric stared at it. "You remembered.""Some things you don't forget." Marcus smiled, small and careful, like he was afraid of spooking him.Cedric sat down and told himself this was fine. Completely fine. Just two people. Coffee. No mafia. No Falcone. No wire. Just this.They talked about nothing for a while, the kind of easy, stupid nothing Cedric had forgotten people actually got to have. Marcus complained about his soccer team's defence, which was apparently a disaster, and Cedric teased him about it because it was genuinely embarrassing. Cedric told him about the pit bull
The Don's Dirty Obsession The Punishment
Cedric stood with his back against the wall, chest rising and falling fast. The silence in the penthouse pressed down on him heavier than any fist. Falcone hadn't yelled. He hadn't hit him. That would have been too simple.“Strip,” falcone said, voice low and steady.Cedric’s fingers fumbled with his shirt. He pulled it off and dropped it, then shoved his pants and underwear down his legs until he stood completely naked. The cool air raised goosebumps on his skin. Without waiting for another order, he sank to his knees on the thick rug, head slightly bowed.“Tell me everything that happened last night,” falcone commanded. “Every word Marcus said. Every touch. Every second of that kiss. Leave nothing out.”Cedric’s voice shook as he forced the words out. “I snuck out and met him at the parking garage. He was covered in blood, his partner’s blood. He grabbed me and slammed me against the pillar. He was furious. Yelled that I fed him the Red Hook location and got his partner shot. Said s
The Don's Dirty Obsession Blood on His Hands
Cedric crept out of the penthouse at 3 AM, moving as quietly as he could. His bare feet barely made a sound on the cold marble floor. He left his phone on the nightstand on purpose. If falcone woke up and checked it, at least he wouldn’t be tracked right away. The elevator ride down felt like forever. His heart wouldn’t stop racing. Marcus’s text kept flashing in his mind, partner shot, spine, ICU. All because of that fake Red Hook location falcone had forced him to send.Outside, he flagged down the first cab he saw and gave the driver the address of the abandoned parking garage on the far west side. The whole ride he kept glancing over his shoulder, half expecting one of falcone’s black SUVs to appear behind them.The garage was pitch black except for a single car with its headlights cutting through the darkness. Marcus was already there, pacing like a caged animal. His white shirt was stained dark with blood that clearly wasn’t his own.Cedric stepped out of the cab, nerves tight.
The Don's Dirty Obsession The Vet Clinic Lie
Cedric stepped through the glass doors of the veterinary clinic, the smell of antiseptic and wet fur hitting him instantly. “Mr. Santos, welcome,” a smiling receptionist said, standing up quickly. “Dr. Ruiz is waiting for you in the back. We’re really glad to have you here.”Cedric forced a nod and followed her down the bright hallway lined with spotless exam rooms. State-of-the-art equipment everywhere. Clean cages. Soft voices. For the first few hours it almost felt real. He helped set a broken wing on a pigeon, gave fluids to a dehydrated cat, and even laughed when a staff member joked about his steady hands.He almost forgot.Then the back door buzzed. Two of falcone’s men walked in carrying a third man between them, blood soaking through his shirt from a fresh gunshot wound in his shoulder.“Back room, now,” one of them barked.Cedric froze in the hallway. The man they called Dr. Ruiz didn’t even blink. He just waved them toward a side door marked “Procedure.”“What the hell is
The Don's Dirty Obsession The Price of Protection
Cedric knelt beside his mother, still holding her trembling hands. “Ma, breathe. Just breathe. We’ll figure this out.”Linda Santos stared at Ray’s bleeding body on the floor, the frying pan lying beside him like evidence. “I didn’t mean to… he was going for Lily. I had to stop him.”“I know,” Cedric said, voice tight. “You protected her. That’s what matters.”Before he could say more, heavy footsteps sounded in the hallway. The broken door creaked wider. Falcone walked in like he owned the place, dressed in a sharp black suit that looked straight out of a business meeting. Two of his men followed right behind him, faces blank, eyes scanning the room.Cedric shot to his feet. “What the hell are you doing here? I told you I’d handle this alone.”Falcone’s gaze swept over the blood, the broken furniture, and landed on Lily still curled in the corner. His expression stayed unreadable. “You’re not handling anything alone anymore, Cedro. Not this.”He turned to his men and gave a short nod
The Don's Dirty Obsession The Morning After the Truth
Cedric woke with a start, the heavy weight of last night’s revelations slamming into him before he even opened his eyes. He was in falcone’s bed again, naked except for the platinum necklace that never left his throat. The sheets smelled like sweat, come, and that dark cologne falcone always wore.He turned his head.Falcone was already awake, sitting in the leather armchair beside the bed, fully dressed in a black shirt with the sleeves rolled up. Those dark eyes watched him without blinking, calm and possessive.“Morning, Cedro,” falcone said, voice low. “You were talking in your sleep again. Kept saying my name.”Cedric sat up fast, ignoring the ache in his body from everything they’d done hours earlier. “What the fuck are you doing? Just sitting there staring at me like some creep?”Falcone’s lips twitched. “Enjoying the view. You look good in my bed. Always have.”Cedric swung his legs over the side and reached for his pants on the floor. His hands shook a little as he pulled the
