Part 1

The steam from the shower had fogged up the large mirror, and I used my towel to wipe it clean. My hair was on the longish side, having put off getting it cut. My mother would sit me down and rectify that oversight the moment I stepped foot in the house again. It had taken 7 years to complete an undergraduate and master’s degree focused on business, finance, and economics. The work had been gruelling, but I didn’t regret a moment of it. I was almost 23 and ready for the next step in my life.I’d be going home in two weeks, wanting to finish off the year with all the on-campus parties and packing up my studio apartment. I wanted to stay for the easy sex as well, since I’d focused on my final exams and not getting laid.I left my towel on the counter and pulled on a pair of sweatpants. The bathroom door was slightly ajar, and I reached for the pistol that was hidden against the side of the potted plant as I stood to the side of the door.“I have to wonder why you’re in my room. I have

“Have you decided on what to do next?”My jaw ticked and I relaxed the clenched muscle. I decided to ignore his question. “Why the midnight visit from Gage?”“This family spilled a lot of blood to guarantee your generation the freedom you have now. There are no arranged marriages in your future, no official godfather seat up for grabs. To the public eye, we’ve gone legitimate and we’ve kept our noses clean ever since you were born.”“I’m aware,” I said. I was raised knowing exactly who and what we were. I knew how we made money, the tactics we used and the connections we had. I doubted another family was as powerful as ours were. The Vittori’s, the Volkov’s and Makolli’s were ruthless, and none of us minded spilling blood, not even me.“Your sister wants to expand her horizons and go to University,” Dominic said. It was said with a tinge of sadness. My twin had been stillborn and Honor had been a miracle after doctors told my mother she wouldn’t be able to conceive again. For that rea

My phone buzzed on the nightstand and I opened the family chat Wilder had created years ago.02:45 Wilder: I’ve been waiting all night to do this. 02:45 Wilder: I’ve got a good one.02:46 Saint: Give it your best shot.02:46 Niko: Why the fuck are you texting so early?02:46 Wilder: Did I interrupt sexy time with your hand, Nikki?02:47 Niko: Fuck off02:47 Saint: Just tell him to go ahead so we can all sleep.02:47 Niko: Go ahead, Wildy02:48 Wilder: Okay, okay02:48 Wilder: Why don’t melons ever get married?02:49 Saint: No clue, wild thing.02:49 Elian: What the fuck is wrong with you?02:49 Wilder: Oh goodie, Ellie joined the party.02:49 Niko: Just tell us, fuck face!02:49 Wilder: Do you have to be so mean?02:49 Saint: Ffs02:50 Wilder: Fine, fine02:50 Wilder: Because they cantaloupe … get it?02:50 Elian: That’s not even funny.02:50 Saint: It’s a little funny.02:50 Wilder: Thank you, Saint, you beautiful man.02:50 Niko: Cantaloupe?

Part 4

I was sitting behind my desk in my bedroom a week later when Wilder flung my door open and draped himself over my bed. His head was hanging off one side, making him look at me upside down. “You remain a beautiful man, Saint, no matter which angle I observe you from.”I snorted. “Are you drunk already?”“Sadly, no,” he said.“What’s going through that demented head of yours?”Wilder sighed and shifted to his stomach, resting his head on his hands. “Are they giving us complete freedom in Briarwood?”“From what Dominic said, I believe so.”“Are you looking at houses with basements?”I chuckled. “Yes. What if we need space for storage?”“Storage. I like that,” Wilder said, and huffed out a laugh. “Well, I’m just thinking if we’re going there to make our own mark on the world, we don’t need any interference from them. It won’t work if they stick their noses into our business.”“Then I’ll make that a stipulation when we have further discussions. From what Dominic said, our fathers all think

I was mid-thrust when my phone buzzed on the bed next to me. I gripped it in my hand and shifted back on my heels and pulled out. I motioned for Lacey to turn around and I pushed back inside her as she lifted her ass in the air.“Yes,” I answered, keeping one hand on her hip.“Did you know that Briarwood University has a female volleyball team?”“Fuck, Wilder. My phone’s on ‘do not disturb’. That means you only call when it’s an emergency.”“This is an emergency, SV. A volleyball team. I’m sending you pics.”Lacey moaned and thrusted back against me. She whimpered when I thrust hard into her and Wilder stopped talking on the other end. She moaned again and Wilder let out a shuddering breath.“Are you getting your dick sucked right now?”“No,” I said. She was clenching me with her pussy muscles, her walls fluttering around me. “I’m letting off some steam.”“Ah, mid-fuck, gotcha, SV. But while I have you … why don’t cows ever have money?”I huffed out a laugh as Lacey’s orgasm ripped th

Part 6

Three months laterI walked into the bar and looked around. The smell of beer, sweat and sex hung in the air, altogether not an unpleasant smell for a bar. The men all wore jeans, T-shirts, and the trademark leather cuts over it. Badges and ranks revealed some of the members to me and I didn’t feel too out of place with my darkwash jeans and the plain, fitted long-sleeved shirt I was wearing. My boots were unscuffed and the watch on my wrist screamed money, maybe the arrogance in my eyes did too.The man I was looking for was seated at the bar and our eyes met in the mirror. His gaze held amusement and I knew he wasn’t going to make this easy for me. The bartender had already given me a look that said, ‘Are you sure you’re in the right fucking place?’I sat down on the barstool, keeping one chair open between me and the large man. I could feel eyes on me, people sizing me up as a spoiled rich kid and thinking I was easy pickings. It made me grin as the bartender headed toward me.“Wha

Part 7

The formal dinner required a suit. We’d moved into the new house a week earlier and familiarized ourselves with the campus layout. I wasn’t a student, but I wanted to know where everyone’s classes were, the library, bookstore and so forth. If Honor called and said she was somewhere and needed help, I wanted to know exactly where to go. Classes started on Monday and throughout the week, students had arrived in full force. The dinner was being held in the same building as the registration offices. The large reception room had been turned into something resembling a ballroom with round tables and a bar. We walked inside the room, looking like we owned the place, and heads turned as we headed toward our table.“Good thing I tucked my stiffy away,” Wilder said, under his breath. I wanted to laugh, but I kept myself composed. “Tomorrow you can let little McClaren out to play.” Arya’s comment had me choking back a laugh but Wilder snorted loudly before coughing to hide it.The dean smiled

Part 8

Saint Vittori. He was every young woman’s wet dream. Demetria had seen pictures before the formal dinner. His family was elusive, keeping their lives private, and there wasn’t much she could find out from social media. He was coming to Briarwood and she knew that given half a chance, she’d make sure she ended up with him. It would be the society wedding of the year. They would be a dynamic power couple with her background and his wealth. There wouldn’t be a door that wouldn’t open for them.At first glance, he seemed bored, aloof mostly. He was tall and imposing. She could feel the power radiating off him. She was sure he was just playing it cool.“Mr. Vittori, I’d like to introduce my daughter, Demetria,” her father, Bryce Winthorpe, said.A ghost of a smile was on his lips and when he looked into her eyes, her breath hitched. “Call me Saint, please.”His hand was warm, not clammy or sweaty, just warm. For a moment she wasn’t sure what to say. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”She was i

Part 9

“You just need to get laid, SV, it’s been 3 weeks,” Wilder said.“Yeah, probably.” I wasn’t going to argue, perhaps he was right. I had work to do and not a lot of time to cast my net. Nothing was going to stop me from asserting my dominance over the people in this county. Briarwood was mine.My phone buzzed in my hand and Wilder sniggered. I opened our group chat and grinned.Wilder: Ellie! Get your hand off Nikki’s dick! I need to tell you something!Elian: If this is another stupid joke, I’ll hurt you.Niko: Go for it, wild thing. It’s been a while since we had a good joke from you.Wilder: Yeah, I’m awesome like that. Anyway … why was the plumber so good in bed?Saint: No idea, Wilder.Wilder: Because he knew how to handle a leaky pipe.Saint: You’re getting better at this.Wilder: I’m fucking awesome, just admit it.Niko: Hilarious, Wilder.Elian: Wait … if he’s good with a leaky pipe, does that mean he’s working on his own pipe or someone else’s pipe, because if it’s someone els
