Secrets in the Shadows

Roberto watched Kyls from across the table, his gaze unblinking, as if studying every shift in her expression. She looked guarded, a trace of wariness hidden beneath her steady gaze, but also... intrigued. The warm glow of the restaurant's lights softened the lines of her face, casting a golden hue over her skin, but she remained alert, perhaps ready to retreat if he pushed too far."You enjoyed that kiss," he murmured with a hint of amusement, testing the waters. It wasn't a question-it was as if he already knew.Kyls's fingers tightened on her wineglass, eyes darting away for a brief second before returning to him. Her voice was measured, edged with challenge. "You're sure of yourself.""That's not an answer." Roberto's voice was steady, calm, yet beneath it lay something deeper-an invitation for honesty, if she dared. A faint smile crept onto her lips, and after a brief pause, she gave in, her words soft but unhesitant. "Fine. Yes."At that, Roberto allowed a satisfied grin. Reach

Power Play

Kyls stepped out of her car, the distant glow of the house lights casting long shadows against the driveway as she made her way toward the garage door. The Sheridan estate loomed in front of her like a brooding giant, an ever-present reminder of the weight she carried as a member of her family. Just as she reached the door, the faint scent of cigar smoke reached her, mingling with the cold tang of metal and engine grease. Her father's right-hand man, John, leaned against the wall just inside the garage, his face hidden in shadows, yet the set of his shoulders conveyed disapproval. She lifted her chin, meeting his gaze with a calm expression, though she could feel the tension tightening her spine. She'd known this was coming; there was no avoiding it."I had something to take care of," she said, her tone steady but laced with subtle defiance.John's expression remained unreadable, his eyes narrowing as he evaluated her response. Without a word, he turned on his heel, motioning for her

Sacrifice

The heavy tick of the grandfather clock punctuated the silence as Kyls hovered in the doorway of her father's study. The room was dim, lit only by the soft glow of a desk lamp casting shadows over shelves filled with leather-bound books and portraits of ancestors. Kyls felt those long-departed eyes on her, their gazes following her every move, as if they knew the secrets she kept and judged her for them."Come in, Kyls," her father's voice broke the quiet, calm and steady. But Kyls heard something beneath it-something unspoken yet profound. It was a tone that brought her back to childhood when every word he spoke held gravity, and every silence felt loaded with implications.She stepped forward, forcing herself to meet his gaze. Papa was standing by his desk, tall and unyielding as always, his frame casting a dark shadow on the wall behind him. His suit was immaculate, the only sign of weariness a slight slump in his shoulders and the shadow of stubble that marked his chin.He walked a

The Shadow of Power

The late evening cast long shadows over Roberto Connolly's office, the dim lighting accentuating the tension that hung thick in the air. Roberto sat in his leather chair, fingers interlaced as he leaned forward, his gaze fixed on the city lights beyond his office window. The glittering skyscrapers and bustling streets seemed a world away from the turmoil that gnawed at his insides.Seamus's grip over the Connolly empire tightened each day. His brother ruled their world with an iron fist, ruthless and unyielding, leaving no room for dissent or even hesitation. Every day, Roberto felt more like a pawn in Seamus's intricate game of power-a carefully positioned piece ready to be sacrificed at a moment's notice. And his younger brother, Liam, who once stood by Roberto's side, now seemed to support Seamus's unforgiving vision. It was as if the two of them had become faceless soldiers in Seamus's war, blind to any path other than the one paved in blood and dominance.Roberto's chest tightene

Deception

Sophia's povI pressed myself against the wall, letting the shadows in the narrow nook outside the library wrap around me. Roberto walked by, eyes straight ahead, his face set in that determined way he got when he thought he passed earlier. They never did. Years ago, I learned that if I wanted the real story-the knight no one was watching. He didn't see me here, hiding. Liam hadn't noticed me, either, we that didn't come filtered through the family's polite lies and careful smiles-I'd have to find it on my own. And I'd gotten good at it, too. Dangerous secrets tended to drift around this house, and I'd gathered more than my share by listening from the edges, out of sight. Like the fact that Roberto now had an FBI contact on speed dial.I shook my head, feeling a bitter twist of frustration. He'd always been so idealistic, even as a kid. For him, everything was so simple, so black and white. Right or wrong. He didn't get that in our world, those lines blurred until you couldn't tell o

Embracing the Pain

Kylie's PovThe home gym's cold walls loomed around me, and the sharp scent of rubber mixed with sweat filled the air. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the city stretched endlessly, a stark reminder of the freedom I lacked. My feet pounded against the treadmill, the rhythmic thud echoing in my ears like a relentless heartbeat."Come on, faster," I muttered, slamming my hand against the speed controls. The treadmill whirred in response, but my thoughts drifted back to the Hayes and my father's last words. "Focus on planning the wedding. Leave the family business to me." Frustration surged through me, and I recalled snapping at Micah. "I don't need the perfect flowers. I need to be in that room with my father!" The memory ignited my anger.Finally, my legs felt like lead, and I slowed the machine, gasping for breath. "I can't stay locked up like this. Not anymore," I whispered to myself, determination flooding my veins.As I climbed the stairs, each step burned with exhaustion. Th

Burning Desires

Kylie's PovI couldn't make sense of him, of the way he looked at me-like he was starving but still holding back. I'd come here ready to let go of every last inhibition, every doubt, to peel myself down to bare skin and heat, ready to have him any way he wanted. But he'd...turned me down. Well, not exactly turned me down. It was there, clear as a flame in his eyes-the way he looked at me, dark and deep, like he wanted to drown in me. It terrified me. Because beneath that want was something more, something that felt bigger than anything I could give.Everything.Then his lips claimed mine, coaxing me open, his kiss deep and consuming. My mind went blissfully blank as he pulled me in, his touch gentle but firm, one hand cradling the back of my head, the other resting at my waist. He didn't rush. God, no, he took his time, like he was savoring each moment, each tiny sigh he coaxed from me. We were both fully clothed, just a breath of distance between us, but I could feel his desire all t

Craving Him

Kylie's PovOh God. He actually wanted details. A part of me hesitated, but another-one that was quickly winning-wanted to tell him anything, if it kept him moving closer to that unbearable ache he'd built between my thighs. "Me on top, riding you. You, taking me from behind." His thumbs slipped beneath my panties, inching them down in a maddeningly slow tease. I let out a breathy laugh, half-desperate. "God, all different ways and places. The shower, your bed, the SUV again."His voice was a low murmur, like velvet on my skin. "You've spent a lot of time thinking about my cock inside you.""Yes." The word escaped me almost like a confession, and when my panties finally hit the floor, he glanced up, that slow, crooked grin doing wicked things to my heart rate. "I've said it before, and I'll say it again-you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen." He ran his gaze over me, lingering in a way that made me feel like I was something rare. "I don't think I'll ever get tired of looking

Haven in his Arms

Kylie's PovI lay there, barely able to catch my breath, as Roberto's fingers continued moving within me, stretching out my orgasm like he was savoring every last second of it. His mouth closed over my clit one final time, a slow, deliberate kiss that left my body trembling. When he finally pulled away, settling beside me, I felt like I'd melted into the mattress, warm and utterly sated. I stretched my arms over my head, feeling that delicious ache in every muscle, and then gave him a little nudge, pushing at his shoulder and urging him onto his back. He raised an eyebrow, maybe a little surprised, but he let me move him, grinning as I crawled up and straddled his waist. My grin matched his, a boldness rushing through me as I leaned forward, letting my slick heat drag along his cock, teasing us both. "You make me so hot, Roberto," I murmured, pressing down just enough to feel him against me. God, he was hard, and the ache low in my belly came roaring back.He groaned, gripping my hip

The Facade

I woke up wrapped in Roberto's arms, his warmth seeping into my skin, grounding me in the unfamiliar room. I blinked, trying to orient myself as the soft light of dawn filtered through the blinds, casting faint lines across his wall. This wasn't my room. For a split second, I tensed, but then the events of last night rushed back, and I relaxed, a sigh slipping from my lips. His scent-a mix of something dark and woodsy, undeniably him-filled the space, and I let myself sink into it for just a moment longer. He shifted behind me, his hand instinctively drawing me closer as he nuzzled the back of my neck, his breath warm against my skin. Part of me wanted to stay-just melt into him and let the rest of the world fall away. But reality has a way of creeping in, and I couldn't ignore the responsibility that sat heavily on my shoulders, something that seemed to press even harder after last night. As much as I craved this escape, being with him hadn't erased my worries. If anything, it had a
