MasukWhen they’d finally come down from their highs, Vin pulled Callie close to him and carried her into the shower while whispering how much he loved her.
He’d cleaned them both up, only to dirty her again by making her come twice more on his cock. He would never get tired of hearing his name on her lips, especially when screamed during bouts of pleasure.

Vin’s world tilted on its axis. If Soren was right, it was Ella’s pinky and ring fingers inside that box that was sent to his office at The Tomb. Z must have left it there within the small window that Vin and Soren weren’t there. There still must be a few men who were loyal to Z inside the compound. They would need to fix that immediately.And the hair that came with it, tied with a red silk ribbon, was not Ella’s blonde locks, but quite possibly Liam’s dark hair that looked so similar to Vin’s.Fingers were straightforward; it meant the person was tortured for information. Hair, however, meant the person’s will had been broken. Vin wasn’t a man of belief, but he prayed to whichever god would listen; he begged that Z not hurt Liam; that this was some fucked up mind game he was playing.
When they’d finally come down from their highs, Vin pulled Callie close to him and carried her into the shower while whispering how much he loved her.He’d cleaned them both up, only to dirty her again by making her come twice more on his cock. He would never get tired of hearing his name on her lips, especially when screamed during bouts of pleasure.“No more, Vin,” Callie gasped when Vin’s fingers grazed her clit as he wiped her dry with a clean towel. Her eyes were already fluttering closed, struggling to stand on her jelly legs with Vin supporting most of her weight.Vin responded with a chuckle but relented anyway. He carried Callie to the bed, and by the time her head hit the pillow, she was out like a light. Vin slipped in behind her, tuc
He’d been gone too long.Callie nibbled on her thumbnail as she waited by the elevator doors. She’d been sitting on the carpeted floor, with her legs crisscrossed in front of the elevator, since she hung up on Vin.He said he’d be home soon, but Callie couldn’t help the anxiety building inside her. He’d gone to Cullen Reich. She knew that meant revenge, that Vin would be her executioner. But hadn’t they both been through enough? All she wanted was for Vin to come home. She missed him, and with him by her side, she could try to forget the past few days.The minutes ticked by, each feeling longer than an eternity. And when the elevator doors finally opened, Callie was on her feet and dashing towards Vin. She crashed into his arms, and he lifted her, enveloping her in his arms.“Songbird?” he spoke softly, as if afraid to scare her.Callie buried her face into his neck, inhaling deeply. His hair was still damp, and his skin smelled of soap. He’d made sure to rid himself of all evidence o
“What have you got?”Vin slowly disentangled himself from where he was wrapped around a sleeping Callie. He kept his voice low, unwilling to wake his songbird. She needed her rest.It’s been two days since the bombing. Two days since Callie was safely in his arms again, but Vin couldn’t rest. Not until he was certain Reich was six feet under.“Nothing yet,” came Soren’s reply. He’d volunteered to start Reich’s interrogation. Vin knew Soren didn’t trust anybody else right now, and the crime lord was thankful for Soren’s initiative, for he didn’t want to leave Callie’s side sooner than necessary. “But I’ve barely begun. He’ll be singing soon.”Vin scoffed. “Gotta give him credit. I thought he’d break before you got started.” Soren replied with an empty chuckle, which didn’t escape Vin’s notice. His second was tired of this shi,t too. All of them were. “I’m on my way.”Vin was showered and dressed in dark clothing and was at The Tomb in record time. With everything going on, his group ha
Callie wrinkled her nose at the ticklish feeling of hair brushing across her face. The smell struck her before anything else. The scent of soap and freshly brewed coffee filtered into her nostrils as she opened her eyes.She stretched and winced as she realized her neck was stiff from her sleeping position.Huh?She was in a bed, a firm one with soft blankets. Didn’t she fall asleep on the couch with Vin inside the panic room?“Finally awake, I see,” came Vin’s familiar voice. “I carried you to the bed if that’s what you were wondering.”“Vin!” She finally turned toward his voice, basking in the warmth coming in from the drawn curtains. She must have slept through the entire night and most of the morning.Carrying a steaming mug of coffee, Vin strode toward and sat on the bed. It dipped with his weight, and he handed the mug to Callie.“How are you feeling?” he asked, noticing that Callie had been staring at him like she couldn’t believe he was real. “Are you alright, Callie?”The fra
Another explosion rocked the building. Lights flickered off, and suddenly their forms were bathed in the bright white of the emergency lights. Outside, windows shattered, and everything was in chaos.Callie didn’t even realize that Vin had covered her body with his, shielding her, holding her steady as explosion after explosion pummeled the house.“Hold that thought, sweetheart,” he whispered against her ear, smirking. “There’s something I need to take care of first. Hold onto me.”Before Callie could respond, Vin had her comfortably settled in his arms as he carried her out of the room.By the sound of the explosions, they came from the opposite side of the building—the least protected, but at least it was the farthest away from his safe room.Only members of his security teams and his circle knew of this weakness, but he chose to file that information away to dissect later. He needed to get Callie to safety first. These attacks would not stop until he had Reich six feet under.His m
Callie has had her fair share of awkward moments. On stage, in class, on long drives such as this one.The air in the car seemed to get thinner and thinner with every mile that they took. Back-and-forth looks were exchanged between Callie and Vin, as well as with Callie and the rearview mirror.Liam h
“Be sure to visit us again, Callie,” said Millie while giving Callie one of her fiercest hugs. “You have my number now, so if you need anything—anything at all, just give me a call, alright?”“Of course,” replied Callie. “I wish you and Wyatt only happy days to come. And hopefully to see you again so
It had been two days since the three of them arrived at the resort, and in those two full days, Liam had refused to leave the room.On the first day, Liam shot down the idea of going to the pool almost as immediately as Vin suggested it. The two adults shared a look but ultimately decided not to push
The walk back to their room took no time at all, and once the door closed behind them, Callie was pulled into Vin’s arms.His kisses were soft and gentle. There was none of the aggression and urgency of their time earlier.“Vin?” Callie whispered, pleased but worry seeped through her emotions. “Is eve
