All Chapters of Touch Me,Daddies : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

IVY’S POVI woke slowly, like the world was pulling me up from somewhere deep and warm.My body felt heavy in the best way, wrapped in warmth and steady heartbeats. The sheets smelled like us, like skin, sweat, and a faint tang of wine. My hair was a mess, my lips still felt swollen from kisses , and every inch of me hummed with the memory of last night.I didn’t open my eyes right away. I didn’t need to but I could feel them.An arm was curved protectively over my waist. A broad chest pressed to my back. A tangle of legs anchored me in place, holding me there like I belonged.When I finally looked, the morning light was soft, gold seeping through the curtains and spilling across the bed.On my right was Asher with a sharp jawline, dark hair mussed from sleep, and lashes long enough to cast shadows on his cheeks. Even unconscious, there was something controlled about him, like he could wake up and take charge

ASHER’S POV“He’s back.”“ He took her.”The words were like iron in my mouth. On the other end of the line, there was a cut of silence from both Levi and Kai clean, sharp, like a blade sliding free of its sheath.Kai spoke first, voice low, steady. “I suspected it. One of my guards said he thought he’d seen him at the diner last week, but he wasn’t sure.” A brief pause, like he was replaying the sighting in his head. “Said it was the walk. Couldn’t swear to the face.”Of course it was the walk. He never hurried, never strained. He moved like a man who believed the room already belonged to him.“You should’ve told me,” I said. The tightness in my jaw was an old feeling, familiar as an old scar.Kai didn’t flinch. “I didn’t have proof. I do now.”Levi cut in, blunt and heated. “He took a kid. That’s low, even for him.”He had always preferred leverage that bled slowly. Something that forced your hand and made you choose.“ Jace picked Ella because she’s ours,” I said. “Because he thinks

ASHER’S POVThe guilt gnawed at me, sharp and insistent. Ella was out there because of me.Because of us.I rubbed my face, pulling at the stubble along my jaw. Feeling bad didn’t fix anything. Words didn’t undo this. Actions did. And right now, action was all I had.“Kai,” I said, voice tight, eyes scanning the screens in front of me, “what did you get from the Lantern?”He didn’t flinch. Calm, precise, eyes flicking between his tablet and mine. “Bartender says he was there last night. Had a meeting with someone I don’t recognize. Mentioned a cave… or some terminal port. Took notes, diagrams, maybe plotting something. Looked like scouting.”I exhaled, long and low, already thinking a dozen steps ahead. “List every cave, every terminal port in the area. Every exit near water. Every blind spot. I want coordinates, access routes, timings, everything.”Kai nodded, swiping the screen. “Six terminal ports near the sea. Three already occupied, teams in position. Fourth just left, should be

IVY’S POV Cold. That was the first thing I felt when consciousness dragged me back my skin damp against the rough wooden chair, wrists burning where coarse rope bit deep. My head was heavy, foggy, every blink a battle against the pounding in my skull.I forced my eyes open.And froze.Ella.She was tied to another chair, not far but not near enough to touch, her head tilted forward, dark hair falling across her face. My breath hitched.“Ella! Ella!” My voice cracked, raw, echoing against steel walls. “Wake up, baby, please wake up!”But she didn’t move.Instead, boots shuffled. One of the guards glanced my way, smirking. “She’s awake.”A ripple of awareness passed through the room. And then he appeared.Jace.He stepped out from the dim light, his frame cutting sharp against the shadows. That smile that promised pain curled slowly on his lips.“You really don’t want her to see you like this,” he said, his voice low, calm, taunting.My chest heaved. “Let my sister go. Please. Don’t hu

IVY'S POV Darkness cradled me. Weightless, soundless. For a moment, I wondered if this was heaven or if my soul was still caught between this world and hell. My body felt too fragile to move, too heavy to lift.Then the sharp sting of antiseptic hit my nose. A steady beeping filled my ears. Slowly, painfully, I opened my eyes.White. Blindingly white. The ceiling, the sheets, the walls. Soft drapes fell over wide windows, the muted hum of machines surrounding me. A private room. Too large, too neat, too expensive to be anything ordinary.A hospital. A VIP ward.Alive.But how?I swallowed, throat burning. My mind raced, piecing fragments of chaos together the factory, the ropes, the gunshots. Jace.My heart jolted violently. Ella.I gasped, bolting upright. "Ella!"The sound ripped out of me raw and panicked. The monitors spiked, shrill alarms echoing.Kai's head shot up from the chair beside me where he'd been slumped forward, his hand still on the edge of my bed. Across the room, L
