All Chapters of Nailed: Men In Heat: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

PREMISE: After surviving an assassination attempt from within his own ranks, Saxon is forced to go into lockdown at his remote family estate—until it’s safe to resume business. He demands the best protection money can buy. He wasn’t expecting Cain Castellano. The one who left him broken. The one he never forgave. The only man who ever made him beg. Now they’re trapped in a mansion laced with surveillance, power plays, and lust they can’t ignore. Cain swore he’d keep Saxon alive. But can he do it without losing control? Chapter One: Assignment: Saxon The Rivera Estate was quieter than it should’ve been for a place crawling with killers. Cain Castellano didn’t bother to knock. He pushed the heavy wrought-iron door open and stepped into the marble-floored foyer, boots thudding slow and hard against the polished stone. He’d seen this mansion before—on grainy surveillance footage, news reports, under the names of shell companies and aliases. But never like this. Never inside.

Chapter Three: I Dare You06:43 A.M.The surveillance footage didn’t lie.Cain watched the loop again, arms folded tightly across his chest. Saxon—barefoot, shirt half-unbuttoned—was in the east courtyard last night with Luca, the new guard. Laughing. Smirking. Standing too close. Touching his shoulder.Cain didn’t see a threat.He saw a game.And he was about to end it.—08:10 A.M.The estate’s training room was a brutal stretch of reinforced floors, wall-to-wall mirrors, and weapon racks lining every edge. It was Cain’s favorite room. His sanctuary. The only place he could release what Saxon kept caging inside him.Until today.Because today, Saxon walked in.Tight black compression shirt. Black joggers. Freshly showered. Still damp. And smiling like the devil had handed him a dare.Cain didn’t look at him. Not at first.He just kept punching the heavy bag—thud, thud, thud—his knuckles wrapped, his jaw set.“Your technique’s gotten sloppy,” Saxon said behind him. “Or maybe you’re

Chapter Five: What We Never SaidCain didn’t answer.He squeezed the tube of ointment instead, focusing on the wound, not the man.“You disappeared the night before my engagement,” Saxon continued. “Didn’t call. Didn’t warn me. I waited for you. And you didn’t show.”“I had to go,” Cain said.“No, you chose to go.”Cain leaned back on his heels, jaw locked. “I was ordered to leave. By your father.”Saxon’s eyes darkened. “He hated you.”“He was right to.”Saxon sat up—wincing slightly, but defiant.“No,” he said. “He hated that I loved you.”Cain’s hand froze mid-air.Those words… landed like gunfire. Deep. Clean. Devastating.“You were the only real thing in my life,” Saxon said, voice quieter now. “And you let him scare you off.”Cain’s mouth opened.Then closed.He stood, walked to the window, shoved a hand through his hair.“I didn’t want you dead,” he said finally.Saxon blinked. “What?”Cain turned, voice hoarse. “He told me if I didn’t leave, he’d make you disappear. He alread

Chapter Seven: Let Me Destroy You 06:43 A.M. The video in high definition burned through their eyes. Cain stood frozen in front of the flat-screen, jaw tight, arms folded. Saxon was on the couch behind him, shirtless, lips parted, watching himself on the screen with wide, stunned eyes. The video played on loop. His back arched. His thighs spread. Cain’s hands gripping his waist. His moans filling the speakers. Grainy. Stolen. Obscene. It was them. Their first night in the safehouse. Cain didn’t need audio to hear it. Didn’t need visuals to know how he sounded when he came inside Saxon the first time after thinking he’d lost him forever. “You were mine before you ever knew what the word meant,” his voice snarled on screen. Cain shut off the TV. Saxon whispered, “That’s… online?” Cain nodded once. “Who has it?” Cain’s voice was ice. “Don Vincente.” Saxon’s breath hitched. “How?” Cain turned to him, jaw flexing. “Someone tapped the feed. Probably befor
