QUINN

My heart hammered steadily in my chest throughout the rest of the ride, threatening to explode all over the place.

I appreciated the silence, and pondered what the hell just happened. For a second there, this lunatic would've had us killed. Pulling that stunt while I was driving was without doubt, batshit crazy. I realized in that moment, the first similarity with his mother.

For some reason, it seemed like I’d struck a chord by mentioning her. What kind of relationship did he have with

    QUINN“What the hell is going on?” I yelled when I saw that the situation was getting weirder, and out of hand. Fiona shrieked in rebellion as they grabbed her behind me. A sick thud followed her cry, and she fell silent. Goosebumps scattered across my skin. I couldn't look behind for fear of what I would see. Was she…dead?Fuck. Fuck! I should have listened to my instincts. Apparently, they were still sharp as ever.My eyes traveled around the place, wild and crazy. Was this really a logistics company? We’d spotted some trucks outside, but then…that could be a front for something lethal going on within these walls. The receptionist’s smirk turned evil, and she leaned forward, brown eyes taking in every inch and speck of my attire. “Why are you here again?”“To meet with the CEO. If he's not here, we can come back some other time—”“You'll meet him. But you have to tell us why you came all the way here.” Her eyes twinkled with delight. “A friggin 'director of a well-known accounti

    QUINNThe car pulled to a stop in front of the tall glass building. Vale turned the engine off and pulled the key out.I stared at him, askance, expecting him to hand it to me. But he just turned and stared at me.“Go ahead. I'll keep the keys.”My eyes burned bright. I was immediately furious. “What? Why? It's my car.”His jaw ticked irritably. “You don't own a driving license. You wouldn't want such a pretty car confiscated from you.”I heaved a deep sigh, feeling the radiation of reassurance from the purse that held an unlimited black card. One I could use as freely as I wished! “Fine. Just be here when I'm ready to get off work.”“Without doubt.”Squaring my shoulders, I got out and slammed the door shut. The walk down the entrance to the revolving doors was a familiar one. Guards calling out greetings and never taking their eyes off me the entire way. People scrambling out of the way and staring as I breezed through the lobby… It was all too familiar. The attention soaked me i

    QUINN“Why don't you ask Veritas yourself?” Adrien’s voice was dangerously cold when he responded. “Come on. You'd know better. You're crazy about her.”Adrien…crazy about a woman? That wasn't me?Now I was very curious about her. “Enough! Don't think you can speak so freely and with stupid confidence. You're guilty of that too.”“You know I'm not, brother. You'll keep your hands off my wife, or you'll be asking for trouble.”The shuffle of feet towards the door startled me, and I pushed off it and started to race towards the stairs. “You're falling for her, aren't you?” Adrien’s voice stopped me, his dark chuckle unsettling me. “A human woman. Damn, brother. You choose to follow in Morgayne’s steps?”“You have no right to speak her name!” Luciano snarled. Morgayne? Who the hell were these women? And why did the mention of this one in particular seem to stir something strong and violent in Luciano?“You still love them, don't you?” Adrien chuckled. “Veritas and Morgayne. Both wome

    QUINNPlaying with fire was becoming a habit I couldn't control. There was definitely no other explanation for why I floated across this space to the man on the other side. Adrien standing there with that apple, looking all devilish and cunning, reminded me of the legendary serpent who fed an innocent woman a fruit of good and evil. That scene happened to be replaying right in the moment. For a split second, I could understand why Eve would have taken that apple without stopping to think. There was something so irresistibly appealing about these otherworldly creatures. Because why else would my body come alive with heat at the sight of a grim reaper and the way his beautiful hands held a friggin apple?Was it the way he took a bite off the sleek red skin? Or the way his lips moved in a half smile as he chewed? Or the way those eyes sparkled with intense delight?“You seem to be enjoying this game all too well.” I cleared my throat as I stopped next to him by the window. I tilted my

    QUINNMy heart almost stopped when I heard his voice.Then I saw Adrien flying backwards, away from me. And I knew that Luciano was furious. Fuck. What was I thinking, being here like this with Adrien alone? Curiosity kept me, certainly. Curiosity about how much hotter his fingers could burn…how much warmer his breath could feel on my face…how much cleaner he could smell.The thoughts vanished as soon as Luciano’s gaze fell on me, gray eyes freezing me over. He wasn't…pissed at me, was he? I didn't do shit. Just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. “No wandering at night,” he said in a voice that chilled me right to my bones. “Especially not around my wife. Head back to your room, will you?”I was torn between walking out and just standing here until Luciano’s obvious rage had taken a considerable decline. I wasn't sure which was the best path to take.Adrien's eyes found mine across the room as he staggered to his feet, swiping his thumb across his lip. Those warm

    ADRIENI was beginning to have a little too much fun playing this game. Luciano’s expression in the rearview mirror back in the car, was pure gold, tickling me right to my toes. The possessive idiot couldn't even hide the fact that he was getting quickly sucked in by his wife's charm. Lilith’s beauty played a big role, yes. But it was Quinn’s spirit working the real charm here. That woman had some kind of irresistible aura about her. Her vivaciousness never failed to shine through every time I looked at Lilith, and she didn't even have to do too much. Just exist in Lilith's body. I would've taunted and commended her about it the minute we were left alone back at the precinct, but I wasn't in the right state of mind to even talk to her. So I snuck out when she wasn't looking and stayed beside myself, simmering with rage. There was no telling what I would have done if I remained within range of that man who looked so much like Hayes Draven. My mind had been on flames ever since. My
