120 | The Things We Don’t Say

Harper stepped through the front door after a long shift, letting out an exhale. She kicked off her shoes, headed straight for the bathroom for a long, soothing shower, and slipped into her favourite silk.The house was quiet except for the distant hum of the air conditioning. Harper moved down the hallway, her heart already softening at the thought of him.She pushed open the door to the guest room they'd turned into his recovery space.Malakai lay propped up against a mountain of pillows, fast asleep. The past few days of treatment for his pericarditis had left him exhausted but stable.His dark hair had grown longer during his confinement, falling messily down his shoulders in soft curls that caught the warm lamplight.The top buttons of his white shirt were undone, revealing the steady rise and fall of his chest and the faint silver chain of the rosemary necklace resting against his skin. He looked peaceful. Almost princely, even in recovery.Harper stood in the doorway

121 | Soft Hands, Hard Truths

Malakai was undeniably turned on by Harper's bold words. He couldn't help himself. He cupped her face with both hands and kissed her hard.His mouth moved against hers with a desperation that stole her breath, his tongue sliding deep. Harper gasped into the kiss, surprised by the sudden intensity.This wasn't the careful, recovering Malakai she'd been tiptoeing around for the past few weeks. This was him being raw, possessive, and utterly consuming.Her hands fisted in his shirt as she kissed him back just as fiercely, melting into the heat of his mouth.The kiss turned filthy fast, their tongues tangling. A low groan rumbled from his chest, vibrating against her.Harper's pulse thundered. She could feel the thick, unmistakable length of him pressing against her thigh through his pants."Kai..." she breathed against his mouth, trying to pull back just enough to speak. "Your phone... it's still ringing..."He didn't even glance at it."Not important," he growled, his voice hoa

122 | Blurred Lines

Malakai's gaze drifted, as though he were running through something in his head."Kai?" Diana whispered. "He's just a child... I can't lose him like this. Please."Malakai blinked."...Send me the hospital details," he said.She started to sob even harder, and Harper couldn't help but feel awkward listening to the woman's cries."Thank you—thank you. I knew you wouldn't—"Malakai ended the call, and silence rushed back in.Harper slowly lifted her head, searching his face."Kai..."He didn't answer. His gaze was still on the phone. Something wasn't sitting right. He could feel it. Diana had sounded like she was putting on a performance. He knew her well enough to know what she would sound like if she was truly desperate.Also, none of this made any sense. If she had his son for all these years, why did she never reach out? She'd been married to a rich man. Knowing how scheming she was, she could've found a way to take enough money for herself. So, why did she have to come to h

123 | Irreversibly Yours

Harper's cheeks burned hotter at Malakai’s shameless question. She shook her head quickly, trying to steady her voice even as her thighs tried to press together beneath the robe."I'm not—I don't know what you're talking about," she lied, the words tumbling out too quickly. "You're just... focused. That's all. It's... impressive."Malakai's smirk deepened, that dangerous L edge glinting in his eyes even as the soft warmth of Kai stayed wrapped around it."Is that so?" he uttered, his voice low and husky. "Because you're looking at me like you want to devour me, darling."Before she could protest again, he leaned in and kissed her.He kissed her like he was claiming every doubt, every fear, and every inch of her uncertainty. Harper gasped into the kiss, her hands flying to his shoulders, her fingers digging in as heat flooded her body.He didn't let her pull away.Every time she tried to speak, to lie again, to deflect, he kissed her harder, his tongue driving deeper. Between kis

124 | Love In A War Zone

Detective Reyes woke up to ice-cold water splashing onto his face. He gasped, choking on the sudden shock, his body jerking hard against the ropes that bit into his wrists. His eyes flew open, wide and disoriented, water streaming down his lashes and dripping from his chin.For a split second, his mind scrambled.He had gone to bed in his own home. The doors had been locked, the security system armed. He even had a gun on the nightstand.Now he was hanging. Literally.His arms were stretched high above his head, his wrists bound tightly with thick rope that dug into his skin. His toes barely brushed the cold concrete floor. The room was dim and industrial, the air damp and metallic.Men in black surrounded him. There were four of them, maybe five. Their faces were hidden behind balaclavas, their bodies motionless and professional.Reyes's heart slammed against his ribs."What the fuck..." he rasped, his voice hoarse from the cold water still dripping down his neck.One of the

125 | A Debt Paid In Blood

Harper was constantly anxious. The fact that Aiden had been taken made her worry that the same thing could happen to her anytime. Worse, his captor wasn’t Reyes, as she had thought. But it was Eric Snow. He wanted Maddison out of jail in exchange for Aiden's release.But the problem was that Maddison was too unstable. If she was released at this point, Harper couldn't help but worry what that woman would do.But Kai cared too much about his brother to let him rot. The exchange was supposed to happen today. Harper felt suffocated even as she went through her routine at the care center. She didn't have anyone she could talk to about what was going on in her mind."You know, you have a very strange look on your face. It's making me worried," Tyson said to her during their break.She kept checking her phone for a new message from Malakai. But there was none.Tyson sighed."I reached out for help on your behalf," he said, and she perked up."What did he say?""He's digging into Re

126 | A New High

The bedroom was dimly lit by a single lamp on the nightstand, casting a warm, golden glow over the sheets. Harper lay in the centre of the bed, propped against the pillows, wearing nothing but one of Malakai's oversized button-down shirts. The sleeves were too long, the hem nearly reaching her knees. Her cheeks were flushed, her fingers twisting nervously in the fabric as she waited. The bathroom door creaked open. Malakai stepped out, limping slightly, a white towel tied low around his waist. Water still clung to his skin, sliding down the defined lines of his chest and abs. His hair was damp and tousled, the long strands falling over his forehead and cheekbones. The rosemary necklace rested against his collarbone, catching the light with every uneven step. Harper's gaze darted up to meet his. For a moment, the air felt thick and awkward, charged with everything they hadn't quite said yet. She shifted slightly on the bed, pulling the hem of the shirt down self-consciously.

127 | Playing Hearts

The next morning, in the backseat of the car, Harper and Malakai sat close together, their fingers intertwined on the leather seat between them. The driver kept his eyes politely forward. Harper turned her head slightly, meeting Malakai's tender gaze. "You really didn't have to follow me all the way to work just to say goodbye and drop me off," she told him, blushing. Malakai lifted their joined hands and pressed a kiss to her knuckles, his thumb stroking gently over her skin. "I wanted to," he said. "I want to spend as much time as possible with you. Every minute I can get." Harper's heart fluttered. "You're going to spoil me," she whispered. His smile deepened, a hint of that familiar mischievous spark returning to his eyes. "It's all your fault," he whispered, leaning in to capture her lips in a slow, tender kiss. "You're too irresistible. How am I supposed to let you go?" Harper giggled softly against his mouth. When they parted, she tilted her head and whispere

128 | Hands Off

Harper sat frozen long after the kiss ended abruptly. Her lips tingled from Tyson's sudden kiss, and her heart was pounding so hard she could hear it in her ears.For a second, neither of them moved. Then Harper pulled back, placing a firm hand on his chest to create distance. Her voice came out steady, but there was steel underneath."Tyson... no."Tyson blinked, breathing hard, his face flushed. He looked dazed for a moment, then his expression turned defensive."Harper, wait—" he started, his voice hoarse. "I know you feel it too. You know how much I like you. How much I care about you. I've been here for you through everything—Reyes, Malakai, all of it. I'm not just some colleague. You have to know that."Harper's eyes narrowed slightly. She didn't raise her voice, but her tone was calm and uncompromising."I do know you care," she said. "And I'm grateful for that. But this—" she gestured between them, "—can't happen. I'm with Malakai. We're working on things. I'm not goin

129 | An Eye For An Eye

Harper's breath caught as she stared at Nolan, who stood a few feet away, dressed entirely in black, his grey-blonde hair standing out. His usual cocky dimpled smile was gone. In its place was something colder. He looked... suspicious."Nolan?" she said, her voice wary. "What are you doing here?"Two of her bodyguards immediately came closer, positioning themselves between her and her stepbrother. One of them subtly reached towards the concealed holster under his jacket.Nolan raised both hands slowly, palms out, but his eyes never left Harper."Easy," he said softly. "Dad wants to see you. It's important. Family matter."Harper's grip tightened on her phone. Malakai was still on the line, she could hear his breathing shift on the other end."It's Nolan," she said into the phone, loud enough for Kai to hear. "He says Dad wants to see me."On the other end, Malakai's voice thickened."Harper, do not go with him. Tell your guards to escort you straight to the car. I'm sending som
