QUINN“What the hell is going on?” I yelled when I saw that the situation was getting weirder, and out of hand. Fiona shrieked in rebellion as they grabbed her behind me. A sick thud followed her cry, and she fell silent. Goosebumps scattered across my skin. I couldn't look behind for fear of what I would see. Was she…dead?Fuck. Fuck! I should have listened to my instincts. Apparently, they were still sharp as ever.My eyes traveled around the place, wild and crazy. Was this really a logistics company? We’d spotted some trucks outside, but then…that could be a front for something lethal going on within these walls. The receptionist’s smirk turned evil, and she leaned forward, brown eyes taking in every inch and speck of my attire. “Why are you here again?”“To meet with the CEO. If he's not here, we can come back some other time—”“You'll meet him. But you have to tell us why you came all the way here.” Her eyes twinkled with delight. “A friggin 'director of a well-known accounti

LUCIANO Things were beginning to go wrong in my world…in this perfect syndicate I crafted for myself in the midst of these foolish humans. Lounging on a couch in a VIP room in my casino, I wondered what could be setting off the fireworks. I never had a reason to worry about turf wars, but now, it seemed like the recent move of a notorious gang into the city would be more of a headache than I ever imagined. Vale had broken the news to me early this morning. The gang was a group of bikers known to dabble in various murky waters. Ranging from drug and women trafficking, to petty political thefts that were starting to destabilize the economy. It was wrong, no matter how much I thought about it. I thought I had this world in my control. Did they have no fear? Everyone behaved here, but these ones had been audacious enough to come into my turf and make stupid noise, wreak havoc. Truly, they had no fear. And that was why I'd been curious about that every minute of today. I

LUCIANO“I don't have the time for this, inspector.”Michael Thorne seemed to find something about those words amusing, as his lips curved in a smirk. He started across the space between us, and everyone parted to let him through, like they were all under his spell, and he was the one in charge here. He definitely had that controlled aura about him, and it pissed me off like hell.Irritation flared in my chest as he got up in my face. “Oh come on.” His voice dropped to a gruff whisper. “Surely, you can find some time between running illegal gambling houses and murdering people. You don't think so, my friend?”I scoffed, reeling from the urge to wipe that smirk off his face. “So, this is your idea of a clean sheet?”He shrugged, wearing a mask of disappointment. “A man gotta do what he's gotta do.” He flashed the video in my face again. “So, think you could explain this?”I didn't need to look hard at the video to tell what it was. The murder of those two little thieves a few weeks ag

LUCIANO“Seize him.”My ears were working just fine, because these bastards immediately caught my arms and dragged me across these dirty floors. They forced me to my knees, and I couldn't do a simple thing like fling them backwards. Something was happening to me. My legs were too heavy when I tried to move them. My mind seemed to be very foggy, slipping fast away from my grasp. My inhibitions to fight were leaving even faster.I watched helplessly as Vlad Ross pushed Lilith’s head down his cock with a filthy grin. “Ow! Fucking hell!” He snatched her mouth away and slapped her hard across her cheek. She fell to the side like a doll, plastic and unmoving. Something burned inside me. God, I hope she bit him.Vlad glared at my wife as he massaged his cock, pants hanging around his thighs. “Do that again, and I'll spill your blood and let your husband watch.”I stared hard at Lilith, trying to see her beyond my swimming vision. I couldn't tell what was wrong with her, but she was clearly

QUINNStars exploded somewhere in the distance, pulling me from the abyss. Or maybe it was the coffee-whiskey voice that whispered in my face. Heat coiled in my stomach. I could feel the hairs on my skin rising on end. I could feel…Up to a moment ago, I had been slipping in and out of unconsciousness. But now… I could feel surprisingly soft and familiar lips sliding over mine, gently probing.What was this warmth?My hands slid up and into soft hair, scraping over warm scalp. I didn't care to understand what was happening…I just wanted more of this. My body was tingling with heat and it seemed to be the most important thing to absorb that heat, right in the moment. All of a sudden, those lips moved away from mine and urged me to come back. Come back, princess. The voice echoed in the abyss, pulling me to the light. “Are you okay?” I thought this was some kind of déjà vu moment. Until I remembered. It was the same question he'd asked me that day, on the bridge. The first time we

ADRIENI watched the scene play out from the rooftop, triumph swimming in my chest.But there was another unsettled feeling that tethered nervously around the triumph, and it bothered me. Things were finally going according to plan. Luciano was just in a fight with his wife. That meant his vulnerability was beginning to crack open. I should be happy. But what I felt was an unexplainable melancholy. With my jaw clenched hard, I watched him drive out of the premises. Then my eyes moved back to the entrance. She was nowhere to be found. I cursed under my breath and left the rooftop without stopping to think about my next course of action. She was hurting, and I didn't like it. The last thing I needed was for Quinn to be distracted by stupid emotions. I had to remind her what was at stake. Going down to the house, she was nowhere in sight. I stalked over to the guard that stood by the side entrance. “Where's she?”The man eyed me cautiously, his expression stern. “Boss Draven’s wife

LUCIANOLast night, I drove until I ran into a fucking wall. I trembled with rage because I wanted her so badly it hurt. Fighting with her and yelling wasn't going to cut it. There had to be some kind of permanent escape from this madness. What were those tiny bursts of pleasure when I kissed her? It wasn't even that serious! I was just trying to get her to come back to her senses! What was that helpless feeling that coursed through me? What was that fire that burned me from within? Driving over to one of my penthouses downtown had been a desperate means of escape from her and the fire she radiated. I needed a place where I could think without her scent filling my senses. I felt betrayed by my own heart. The way it twisted earlier, back in that fucking place. At the rise of dawn, I sent out my men to storm LockeRidge logistics and bring me that asshole. Vlad Ross would have to explain why and how he got his hands on my wife. Lilith would have to explain too. After she's recovere

QUINNSomething unusual was happening. Luciano and Adrien were both beginning to pick an unusual interest in me. It both aroused and unsettled me. It made me wonder, what plans they had for me. I wish I could read their minds to know. Bringing me a box of chocolates I didn't ask for, was not part of the deal Adrien and I shared. But I couldn't deny that it was an endearing act that left me feeling warm and fuzzy.Then I tried to get some shut-eye, and Luciano appeared from nowhere and put a friggin neckpiece around my neck! What were these men up to? Why did they keep confusing me?I stood by the floor-to-ceiling window in my room, staring at the diamond pendant. I lifted my fingers to touch it, but I remembered what he said about fingering it when I was in some kind of trouble. I paused. The memory sent goosebumps down my skin. Did he have to word it like that? Did he probably feel guilty about the previous night? About how he yelled at me? Did he think that he could appease me wi

LUCIANO“I'm on a mission to bring you back home, Lucien.”My fists curled at my side as I glared at him. He would have no chance. And I had no plans of going back to the underworld anytime soon. Roku might be a deadly demon, but he was no match for me.“But I've missed playing around,” he continued. “Why don't you show me how weak you've got?”I scoffed. “Well come at me.”He ran towards me with a yell. His boots slammed the floors noisily. Irritated, I wanted this to end as soon as possible. So I coiled my body like a spring and dodged his fist when it flew at me. “Ha!” Roku laughed. “Is that all you've got? Fight me, Lucien. Or this gets ugly really fast.”I glanced over at Vale. He took the cue for survival. He grabbed a hidden knife in the boots of one of his captor, and slashed the man’s ankle.“Arghhh! Fucking hell!” The man screamed and staggered away. Roku lunged again. I dodged and kicked his shin so hard he flipped. He grinned at me from the floor. “That all?”The walls

ADRIENI won't lie, she swept me off my guard. I did not see that dare coming. I'd mentioned the first love I hated talking about without stopping to think about it. What in heaven's name is wrong with me?She snapped her fingers in my face. She had a smirk on. “What are you waiting for?”I offered her a weak smile. “My first love is not up for discussion. You would have to punish me, instead.”Her jaw dropped. “Punish you?”My eyes strayed to her lips. The fresh, soft, puckered skin begged to meet mine in the same hunger that burned my loins. “Yes, princess. The same way I would if you fail to answer any of my questions or do what I ask.”Her cheeks burned red. She scoffed and looked away. “I'm not interested in that. You can keep the information to your—”I grabbed her with one hand and settled her atop me, so that she was straddling me. “Are you jealous?”She became aghast. “Jealous of who? Someone I've never met?”My voice dropped to a low hum. “So why do you ask to know what hap
