ONE NIGHT WITH A STRANGER

∆EZEKIEL POV∆"Ah… Ummm... No...." Yelps like moans escaped my lips. "Take it easy, it hurts. Don't push hard," I continued the broken plea. What replied me are heavy breaths and I tried thrashing under the iron-like hold pinning him down. "Shut up and lift your hips," A voice ordered from behind, coming out as hoarse and husky. It made something pool up in the bottom of my stomach. Another rough sigh escaped my lips as I felt my legs widen involuntarily. The blurred image pinning me down continued his relentless thrusts, not slowing down even for a minute. Moans tore from my lip as the coarse hands held my thighs in place. Slim, veiny fingers played with my nipples and a soft whine escaped my lips. "More please!"' I arched my back slightly, giving in to the pleasure coming from him. I felt so filled up and tight but somehow content. My vision blurred with pleasure, wet sounds and moans were becoming hard to differentiate and in the heat of the moment, a question that was de

THE DRAGON ON HIS SHOULDER

∆EZEKIEL POV∆"I'm on my way!"That's all I managed to say before I hung up the call and the rest is history.Before I could even think about how I managed to rush out of the hotel room with scattered dressing like a hooligan, the cab pulled to a stop outside the location Ryan had sent. Police tapes were everywhere and forensic agents were patrolling the building. My fingers moved to smooth the creases in the jacket. I don't even have enough time to stop at my apartment at least for a quick change. "Zeke," I snapped my head up at my name. It was Ryan, he was walking slowly towards me. "Finally you're here, the chief has been ranting because of your absence," He said, his face set in a grim expression.I gave a short nod as I could hear my heartbeat accelerate. Ryan was always cheerful so before whatever happened here could dampen his mood, it meant it was brutal. "Where's the chief and the other officers?" I asked after a beat. "Inside," He nodded his head towards the direction

FOR HER, I'LL WALK INTO DARKNESS

∆EZEKIEL∆"What about her?" I asked slowly. "You are aware her condition is getting worse and you don't have the money for the transplant. You don’t have enough money, and you won’t be able to raise it in time." Raymond sneered, while watching my reaction carefully.I clenched my fist not understanding how he got to know about the money I needed for my sister's heart transplantation.Leaning back leisurely in the chair, Raymond smiled, "Listen to me Ezekiel, a private personality is backing up the investigation and he has promised to give your sister the best medical treatment by shifting her to one of the top hospitals in the city, if you can succeed in the mission." My throat went dry, they had me in a corner and he was doing it intentionally. "Why me?" This time my words came out as a whisper. "Because you're Ezekiel, and I trust in your capabilities," He replied, "take your time Ezekiel, no rush, once you made up your mind, come to me, I'll be waiting for you!" I stormed out

HIS CRUEL REMINDER

∆EZEKIEL∆“Start whenever you want, Ezekiel.” Raymond’s voice came out very casually and I frowned at those words.“Whenever I want?” I repeated, my brows pulling together. “Are we really planning an operation… or are you sending me to die?”Raymond didn’t answer immediately. He simply stared at me, calm and detached, as if my life had already stopped mattering.“That depends on you,” he said at last.My jaw clenched, however I forced a dry smile making myself composed.“At least give me something,” I said. “Information, locations, close contacts, anything that can lead me to him.”Raymond leaned back in his chair lazily, and threw an unbothered glance at me.“You’re the agent,” he replied smoothly. “Finding him is your duty. My duty was assigning the mission, I’ve done my part, and the rest… is yours.”Silence fell between us, it's heavy and suffocating.I looked at him, realisation slowly sinking in, it's very clear that he wasn't helping me, in fact he never intended to.This wasn’

THE WEAKNESS HE WON’T EXPECT

∆EZEKIEL∆"Open the damn door, Zeke.... I know you’re inside." Madison’s voice crashed through the silence of my apartment along with the violent pounding that rattled the door on its hinges.I didn’t move.I lay flat on my back, staring at the ceiling that hadn’t changed in three days, watching the faint crack that ran across it like a scar that refused to heal. The room smelled stale, a mixture of sweat, alcohol, and neglect, and somewhere near my feet, an empty bottle rolled lazily when the pounding hit the door again.My phone buzzed on the bedside table for what felt like the hundredth time.I ignored that too."Zeke, don’t make me break this door," Madison shouted, his voice rough with something that sounded dangerously close to panic more than angry.I let out a slow breath, but my body refused to cooperate. Even lifting my hand felt like a task too heavy to complete.The pounding stopped.For a moment, there was nothing, I thought he left already.Then the familiar sound of

ENTERTAIN THEM?

∆EZEKIEL∆"If you want to win against someone like him, you need to know him first." Madison’s voice echoed in my head as I stood outside the restricted records room, staring at the biometric scanner like it had personally insulted me.The agency building felt colder than usual that morning, as if I were standing in a mortuary instead of an office.The fluorescent lights hummed above me, and agents moved past with files tucked under their arms, their conversations seemed to be low and professional, their expressions remained neutral. Everything looked normal, and everything felt wrong.I placed my thumb against the scanner anyway.The red light blinked, clearly indicating that my access was denied."What the hell…" I muttered under my breath, staring at the scanner like it had personally betrayed me. For a moment I was dangerously close to smashing my fist into the damn thing, but somehow I managed to restrain myself."Come on," I grumbled, placing my thumb on it again. "Don’t act

RUNNING TO THE DEVIL

∆EZEKIEL∆"Spread my legs? My ass," I shot back before my brain could catch up with my mouth. "Try it and I’ll break yours."For half a second there was silence, thick and uneasy.Then they laughed.Not normal laughter, but the kind that crawled under your skin."Well, listen to that," one of them chuckled behind me. "The kitten’s got a temper." Another voice joined in, amused and cruel. "We’ve got a fierce kitten here. I like him already."A hand tightened around my collar smoothly."Still talking big," the man near my ear murmured lazily. "You really don’t understand where you are, do you?"I frowned in anger, but the bravado in my chest was already starting to crumble.Great job, Zeke. Absolutely brilliant strategy.Walk into a den full of predators and start threatening them, maybe next time I should try insulting a pack of wolves too while I’m at it.The situation shifte

ANYTHING YOU SAY

∆NO POV∆"Tell me," Zachary said quietly, his voice smooth and controlled as his dark eyes remained fixed on Ezekiel’s bruised face, "what makes you think I’ll protect you?"Ezekiel’s chest rose and fell unevenly as he stared back at the man he had been sent to investigate, his mind racing through a thousand possible answers and discarding every single one of them before they could even reach his lips. His throat tightened as several answers flashed through his mind one after another."Because your men are about to assault me.""Because you're the devil of this city.... Because you’re the only one who can stop them.The truth sat painfully obvious in his throat because the men behind him had been seconds away from tearing him apart, yet saying that truth out loud would mean admitting weakness in front of the very man he was supposed to capture.Instead, he forced a crooked smile that looked more like a grimace because of the blood on his lip and the bruising already forming along his

KIDNAPPED BY THE DEVIL

∆EZEKIEL∆"Didn’t you say you would do anything I say just a minute ago?" Zachary asked from the door, watching me with the calm patience of someone who already knew how this situation would end.For a brief moment I simply stared at him, then I forced out a bright laugh that sounded far more confident than I actually felt."Did I really say that?" I asked with exaggerated confusion while lifting both hands in surrender. "You must have misheard something because I definitely don’t remember making any kind of agreement like that.... Heavy noise and music... Mistakes happen while hearing." He remained exactly where he was, his dark eyes following every movement I made without any kind of slightest change in his expression.That silent stare made every survival instinct in my body wake up immediately."Well," I continued while giving him a polite smile, "it was lovely seeing you again tonight, but I suddenly remembered that I have very important business somewhere else that urgently req

A DANGEROUS LIE

∆EZEKIEL∆"What's your motive behind following me?" Zachary asked in a voice that had suddenly lost all trace of amusement as his eyes fixed on me with a cold intensity that made the air in the room feel heavier.My heartbeat stumbled immediately because that tone was very different from the teasing one he had used just moments ago."Wh-what?" I asked quickly while trying to keep my voice steady even though my brain had already begun screaming that something had gone very wrong. "Why would I follow you?" Even the little distance between us vanished before I could blink because Zachary was suddenly too close to me, and his hand suddenly closed around my throat.The movement was quick but controlled, the pressure firm enough to pin me against the mattress without actually choking me, yet the message behind it was impossible to misunderstand."If you are not following me," he said quietly while leaning closer, "then tell me what exactly you were doing in a place like this, do you think
