Morning never really arrived.

The sky stayed the same bruised gray. Rain kept hammering the roof in heavy, unbroken sheets. When Tessa opened her eyes the living-room rug was empty and the blanket that had covered them was draped over the back of the couch. A fire crackled in the stone hearth—David must have built it while she slept. Three fresh candles burned on the mantel.

He stood at the window with a mug in his hand, back to her, watching the trees bend. Flannel pants, bare chest, hair

  • UNHOLY & FORBIDDEN    Signal Lost: Part 3

    A low mechanical click sounded somewhere above the car. Nessa’s head lifted. Cade was already on his feet, eyes on the dark control panel. The amber emergency light held steady. The thin strip of city glow through the glass panel had not changed. For three full seconds nothing else happened. Then the click came again, followed by a faint vibration that ran through the floor and into the soles of their shoes. The system was trying to reset. Cade turned from the panel and looked at her. Whatever time they had left was no longer guaranteed. He crossed the small space, backed her against the wall beside the glass panel, and kissed her with the same open hunger as before, only harder now, as if the possible return of movement had sharpened everything. His hands shoved the unbuttoned blouse off her shoulders. It dropped to the floor. The amber light cut across her bare breasts. Cade’s mouth dropped to one and sucked hard while his fingers pinched and rolled the other nipple with firm pre

  • UNHOLY & FORBIDDEN    Signal Lost: Part 2

    The amber emergency light had not changed. It still washed the small car in the same dull, uneven glow. The control panel remained dark. The thin strip of city light visible through the glass panel in the door had shifted slightly as the building’s systems cycled, but the elevator itself had not moved. Nessa sat on the floor with her back against one wall, blouse back on but unbuttoned, skirt somewhere near the opposite corner. Cade remained standing, watching the silent panel as if it might suddenly answer. It didn’t. He turned, looked down at her, and dropped to one knee between her spread legs. The floor of the car was cool against her bare thighs. Cade pushed the open blouse aside, lowered his head, and took one nipple into his mouth with deep, wet suction. His tongue moved in slow circles while his fingers worked the other breast with firm pressure, pinching and rolling until both peaks were tight and sensitive under the amber light. Nessa’s hands settled on his shoulders. The

    The elevator car jerked once and stopped between the twenty-second and twenty-third floors. Emergency lighting flickered on in a dull amber wash. The control panel went dark except for the red alarm button. Nessa’s hand was still on the rail when the sudden halt threw her half a step sideways. Cade caught her by the elbow before she hit the wall. The small glass panel in the door showed only the concrete of the shaft and a thin vertical strip of city light far below. They were alone. The building had emptied hours earlier. Both of them had stayed late finishing the quarterly projections. Now the car sat silent except for the low mechanical hum of the stalled machinery above them and the sound of their own breathing. Cade released her arm but did not step back. Late thirties. Dark shirt open at the throat, sleeves rolled, the residual tension of a long day still in his shoulders. Nessa had worked with him for nine months. In that time they had never stood this close without a confer

  • UNHOLY & FORBIDDEN    Cold Storage: Part 3

    Service had ended forty minutes earlier. The kitchen lights were half-off. The pass was wiped down. The last of the line cooks had clocked out. Sable stood at the dish pit finishing the final stack of hotel pans when she felt the shift in the air behind her. Rylan’s hand settled on the back of her neck, thumb pressing lightly against the side of her throat. He didn’t speak. He simply steered her toward the walk-in freezer at the back of the line. The heavy door opened under his free hand. Cold air spilled out in a visible wave. He guided her inside and let the door seal behind them with its solid metallic thud. The fluorescent tube flickered once and held. Twenty-eight degrees. Metal shelving. The constant low hum of the refrigeration units. Their breath turned white almost immediately. Rylan backed her against the far wall of the freezer, between two tall racks of vacuum-sealed product. He unzipped her chef’s coat and shoved it off her shoulders. The thermal shirt came next. Th

  • UNHOLY & FORBIDDEN    Cold Storage: Part 2

    The kitchen was still dark when Sable pulled the heavy freezer door open at 7:40 a.m. Cold air spilled out in a visible wave. The fluorescent tube inside buzzed to life and threw the same flat white light across the metal shelving and the vacuum-sealed cuts. Rylan was already there, back to her, moving a stack of labeled containers. He did not turn around right away. He finished what he was doing, closed the container, and only then looked over his shoulder. The door swung shut behind her. The seal caught with its heavy metallic thud. Rylan walked over, took the to-go coffee from her hand, and set it on a high shelf where it would stay cold. Then he gripped the front of her chef’s coat and pulled her forward until her hips met his. The kiss was harder than the night before, open and immediate, the kind that already knew the door was sealed and the kitchen outside was empty. His hands shoved the coat off her shoulders and let it fall. The thermal shirt underneath came next. He pu

  • UNHOLY & FORBIDDEN    Story 2: Cold Storage

    The walk-in freezer door sealed with a heavy metallic thud. Sable’s breath fogged instantly in the sharp air. Temperature sat at a steady twenty-eight degrees. Metal shelving lined both walls, stacked with vacuum-sealed cuts and labeled containers. The overhead fluorescent tube buzzed faintly and threw a flat white light that made every surface look harder. She had followed Rylan inside to pull the last of the dry-aged ribeyes for tomorrow’s service. The rest of the kitchen had already gone dark. Rylan turned from the far shelf and looked at her. Forty-one. Broad through the chest, black chef’s coat still on, sleeves rolled to the elbows, hands red from the cold. For eleven months she had worked under him. For eleven months they had argued over plating, timing, and control. Tonight the argument had ended with him telling her to get in the freezer and close the door. He walked toward her without speaking. The cold made the space feel smaller. When he reached her he took the clipb
