LOGINAlex Before I could answer he moved in fast. His mouth crashed against mine. The knife clattered to the floor but he kept me pinned with his body. I tried to push him off but my arms felt weak. Part of me did not want to. The kiss got deeper and messier. “Mark stop,” I gasped when he pulled back for air. “We need to get you help.”“Shut up,” he muttered against my neck. His hands moved rough over my skin. “Just let me have this.”I kept talking even while my body reacted to him. “This is not going to fix anything. You need a hospital. Tests. Real doctors.”He did not listen. Instead he flipped me over and pressed me down. His voice cracked when he spoke again. “I fucked up with my brother. I cannot fuck this up too. Not with you. Let me feel something good before it all ends.”We went at it again right there on the floor. Hard and fast like he was trying to outrun his own thoughts. I dug my fingers into his back and tried to focus on getting through to him between breaths.“You are
Alex Mark pulled the knife again right there. We were still lying on the floor, trying to catch our breath after everything that had happened. The room was quiet except for the sound of our breathing. Sweat slowly cooled on my skin, and my muscles still felt weak. For a few seconds, I thought the worst part of the night was over. I believed we could finally calm down and talk like normal people.Then I felt him move beside me.At first, I thought he was only reaching for his clothes. Instead, I felt something cold touch my side. My whole body went stiff when I realized it was the knife again. He was not pushing it into my skin, but he kept it there just enough to remind me that he was holding it. I did not dare make a sudden move. Even breathing felt difficult.Without taking his eyes off me, he leaned over with his free hand and picked up my jeans from the floor. He searched through the pockets without any hurry. A second later, I heard my keys and phone make a soft sound as he dro
AlexI blinked a few times and tried to sit up on the couch. My head hurt bad like someone smacked it. The lights in the back room at the station were too bright. A cop stood near the door looking at some papers in his hands. I felt dizzy and confused.“You okay there kid?” the cop asked me.I did not get a chance to say much. The door opened and Jax came in quickly . He looked mad and worried at the same time. His shoulders were stiff. The cop gave him a nod because they knew him from all the other times stuff went wrong around me.Jax crossed his arms and leaned on the wall. He stared right at me. “They called me. Said you passed out right in the lobby. What the hell happened Alex?”I rubbed my face with my hands. Everything from the night with Damien and his dad and the gun and now Knox came rushing back into my head. It made my stomach feel sick.“I went there to talk to Knox,” I told him. My voice sounded rough and tired. “But he is gone. He escaped. Took his daughter and just le
Alex Rival political families? A hidden affair from way back? Or maybe Damien’s dad had covered up something bad involving my parents years ago and now it was all coming back around.It started clicking in my brain piece by piece while I stood there getting dressed. I could not just sit here and try to get over it. This felt bigger than just me and Damien fighting. I needed real answers and Knox was the only one who might have them. He had mentioned an enemy before in our talks. What if that enemy was Damien’s family the whole time? What if this whole mess tied back to something Knox knew about?I grabbed my jacket and keys fast. My hands were still shaking a little but I kept moving anyway. Jax was nowhere in sight and I did not have time right now to hunt him down and fix things between us. That would have to wait. I headed out the door and got in his car. The drive to the station felt longer than usual because my mind would not slow down even a little. I kept thinking about all
AlexI stood there in the doorway still wearing Jax’s oversized clothes. The shirt hung loose on my shoulders and kept sliding around. The pants were too big and I had to keep pulling them up so they would not fall down my legs. Damien’s car had already disappeared down the street but my heart kept pounding hard like it wanted to jump out of my chest. Everything from the night before felt stuck to me. The mess from the sex. The yelling. The gunshot. All of it.Jax stepped closer and put a hand on my arm gently like he was trying not to scare me. “Alex come on. Breathe okay. He’s gone now. We can figure this shit out together. Just take a second.”I yanked my arm away so hard I almost tripped over those stupid loose pants. “Figure it out? That is rich coming from you Jax. Damien always does this to me. He pulls me in close like I am the only person in the world who matters and then he spits out some crap about depression or how he used to be straight or whatever excuse makes him feel
Alex I heard the knocking on the door get louder and louder and my heart started pounding hard in my chest because I knew this was bad news after everything that had just happened between me and Damien. I was still sitting there on the bed feeling the mess from the sex dripping down my legs and Damien froze right next to me with his eyes wide. “Alex quick put these on as fast as you can” Damien said, pushing his jacket and shirt into my hands and I grabbed them fast even though my body ached everywhere. I pulled the shirt over my head and it felt rough against my sore nipples but I did not complain out loud. “This is really stupid Damien you know that right” I told him while I stepped into the pants that were way too loose on me. He picked up the gun from the nightstand and held it tight in his hand. “I know it’s stupid” he said with his voice cracking a bit “but I just can’t leave without you Alex I love you so much please understand that.” I sighed and shook my head because it
Nancy We kept talking through it a little more because neither of us could shut up completely even though we were both getting all worked up again. Sara’s hand stayed on my leg and she kept rubbing her thumb back and forth in this slow way that made my skin feel too warm under my jeans. I shifted
Alex We walked into the big house, lights everywhere, people laughing, music playing low. Lila grabbed my arm tight, nails digging in like a warning. Her parents spotted us immediately."Darling!" her mom called out, waving us over. "And this must be Alex. We've heard so much."Lila switched on th
AlexI stepped into the shower and let the hot water hit my back, hoping it would wash away some of the mess from last night. My ass still ached every time I moved, the new tattoo burned like a fresh brand, and my chest felt tender as hell. I grabbed the soap and started scrubbing, trying not to th
Alex Damien left sometime after the shower. I didn’t even hear him go, just woke up again later to an empty bed and that stupid lonely feeling creeping back in like it always did when he disappeared. The spot where he’d been felt cold already. My ass ached from everything we’d done, the fresh tatt
