Knox POVShe trembles under me, hips grinding in rhythm with my hand, her thighs shaking as the pressure builds. I press my forehead against hers, breath mingling with hers, keeping us close as I push her higher.“You’re not breaking, Red,” I whisper into her ear. “You’re burning. And it’s the most beautiful damn thing I’ve ever seen.”Her whole body tenses and her breath stutters. I feel the way she clenches around my fingers, and her moan becomes a cry that punches right through me. She comes hard, shaking beneath me, clutching at my shoulders as she rides the waves crashing through her.When she finally relaxes, chest heaving and lips trembling, I pull my fingers free, lifting them to my mouth without breaking eye contact. She watches, her breath catching again when I suck her taste from my fingers.“I need you,” she says softly, her voice still unsteady but sure.My jeans are already unbuttoned, but it’s her hands that push them down. She slides her palm along the length of my coc

Knox POVI don’t even get the chance to argue before Ghost calls out from across the room, already laughing. “He needs more than a slap, Theo. That’s a full intervention.”I sigh and run a hand down my face. “Can we not have a conversation across the entire fucking bar?”Theo’s only response is that crooked, too-wide grin of his. The kind that makes people nervous, and for good reason.“Shouldn’t you be working or something?” I ask. “Killing someone? Or sharing your new toy with Nathan and Mason?”His laugh is manic and wild. “I’m trying to share. Hence, I came here. Consider this a bonding exercise.”I groan and reach for the drink, tempted to knock it back after all.“I’m going to be tortured all night, aren’t I?”“Makes a change from you torturing women,” he says, waggling his eyebrows and stealing another shot.I fix him with a glare. “Did you actually want something, Theo, or are you just here to poke the bear?”He tilts his head like he’s genuinely thinking it over. “Well…” He d

Danielle POVHe leans in and kisses me gently. “Yes. We’re going to get you more confident about being outside. Your apartment is closer to work, so we’ll start there. You’ll walk, and I’ll follow, just in case.”I roll my eyes. “I can walk to work, Knox.”“Not when it’s dark, you don’t.”I stare at him. “What do you want, Knox?”“I want you to ask Greg for evening and night shifts. And if you walk to work without panicking, I think you should get a reward.”I can’t help the smile that spreads across my face. “I’m definitely on board with that.”He steps back and I pout, already missing his warmth.“Tomorrow,” he says. “It starts tomorrow. Not tonight. Now come on. Let&rsquo

Danielle POVWhen she doesn’t immediately push him away, he leans forward and presses his lips just beneath her jawline, right where her pulse jumps against her skin.“Ghost,” she breathes, caught between panic and something else entirely. “What are you doing?”“Kissing you,” he murmurs against her neck. “Unless you want me to stop.”She doesn’t say anything. Not at first. Then she shifts slightly, turning toward him and placing her hand on his chest like she means to push him back. Only, her fingers curl into the fabric of his shirt instead.“Oh shit,” Hex mutters, sipping her drink like this is the best thing she’s seen in weeks.Ghost’s hand drifts under Rose’s shirt, fingers grazing her skin, and she doesn’t flinch away. Instead, she leans in, lips brushi

Knox POV“You handled that well,” I murmur into her ear.“I didn’t do anything.”“Exactly,” I grin. “You didn’t panic. You didn’t run. You just let the chaos unfold and kept your head. You’re a natural, Red.”“Is that supposed to be a compliment?”“It’s the highest one I give,” I say, pulling her in for a kiss before she can argue.It’s soft, unhurried, nothing like the heat from earlier. This one is grounding, something I need, something she leans into without hesitation. When I pull back, her fingers linger at my jaw like she’s not quite ready to let go.“Come on,” I whisper. “Let’s go find somewhere quieter. I think we’ve had enough entertainment for one night.”
