A little more time

KAMARAH'S POV He noticed. A slow, knowing smile tugged at the corner of his mouth as we moved to the table. We sat across from each other, but the space between us felt electric. Every time our eyes met, the air grew thicker. I caught him staring at my mouth while I took a sip of wine. I looked away, cheeks warming, only to feel his gaze return seconds later.The food was exquisite — perfectly grilled sea bass with a light herb crust, buttered asparagus, and fragrant saffron rice. But I barely tasted it. My attention kept drifting to the way the candlelight played across his sharp jawline, the way his fingers wrapped around his wine glass.“You’re quiet tonight,” he said, his eyes flicking to my lips again before meeting mine. “Long day?”I nodded, forcing a small smile. “Just a lot on my mind.” I hesitated, then asked the question that had been burning since breakfast. “Zephyr… why are you doing all this? The breakfast, giving me space today, this rooftop dinner. I thought a man l

A surprise?

KAMARAH'S POV The smell of fresh coffee pulled me from sleep. I opened my eyes to find Zephyr already dressed in a black shirt, standing beside the bed with a small box in his hands and a dangerous smile on his face.“Good morning, siren.”Before I could respond, he leaned down and kissed me — slow, deep, and full of promise. When he pulled back, he placed the box on my lap.“Open it.”I sat up, still wearing his t-shirt, and lifted the lid. Inside was a sleek key fob with a familiar logo. My eyes widened.“You got me a car?”“Not just a car,” he corrected, pulling me to my feet. “A safe one. Come see.”He led me down to the private garage. Parked in the center was a sleek white Mercedes SUV, elegant but powerful. The kind of car that screamed money and protection. Zephyr opened the driver’s door for me, watching my reaction closely.“You said you wanted freedom during the day,” he murmured, his body close behind mine. “This gives you that. With tracking, of course. For safety.”I ra

Where were we?

KAMARAH'S POV “Ready for another surprise?” he asked, taking my hand and pulling me close.I smiled up at him. “You’ve already given me a car today. What more could there possibly be?”His eyes sparkled with mischief as he kissed my temple. “You’ll see.”He drove us himself this time in one of his sleek black cars. When we arrived at one of the city’s most exclusive malls, the entire top floor had been cleared out just for us. Security stood discreetly at the entrances, and soft instrumental music played through the speakers as we walked hand-in-hand through designer boutiques that normally required appointments months in advance.Zephyr was enjoying himself way too much.He sat comfortably in the private dressing room lounge like a king on his throne, legs spread, watching me with dark, hungry eyes every time I stepped out of the fitting room.The first dress was a flowing midnight blue evening gown. I stepped out shyly, smoothing the fabric over my hips.Zephyr’s gaze slowly trave

Not tonight

KAMARAH'S POV A single red rose lay on the pillow beside me when I woke up, its petals still dewy. Next to it was a handwritten note in Zephyr’s bold handwriting.“Had to handle an early meeting. Breakfast is waiting for you. Think of me while you eat. I’ll be thinking of you.’ — ZI brought the rose to my nose, inhaling its sweet scent as a confusing warmth spread through my chest. This man kept doing things that didn’t match the ruthless Mafia Don I remembered. Or the one I had feared for five years.After a quick shower, I found a beautiful breakfast spread waiting on the dining table — fresh croissants, fruit platter, smoked salmon, and perfectly brewed coffee. I ate quickly, then headed out.I took Nevan to the city botanical garden, a peaceful glass-domed paradise filled with exotic flowers and butterflies. The moment we stepped inside, his little face lit up despite the slight pallor in his cheeks.“Mama, look! Blue butterflies!” he whispered excitedly, pointing upward. His

Couldn't he see it?

KAMARAH'S POV The scent of vanilla and butter woke me up, warm and comforting. I blinked against the soft morning light streaming through the penthouse windows and found Zephyr already in the kitchen, sleeves rolled up on his black button-down, looking far too attractive for someone flipping pancakes at 8 a.m.He glanced over his shoulder, and the moment our eyes met, a real, unguarded smile spread across his face — the kind that made my stomach flutter and my heart ache at the same time.“Morning, siren,” he said, voice still rough with sleep. “Come help me before I burn these.”I padded over barefoot in his oversized t-shirt, the hem brushing my thighs. The shirt still smelled like him — dark, expensive, and entirely too comforting. “You cleared your entire morning schedule for this?”Zephyr set the spatula down and pulled me in front of him, caging me gently against the marble counter with his strong body. His arms wrapped around me from behind as he rested his chin on my shoulde

Missing you

KAMARAH'S POV The scent of coffee and warm toast pulled me from sleep. I opened my eyes to find Zephyr already dressed in a crisp black shirt, standing by the bed with a tray in his hands. His smile was soft, almost boyish, as he set the tray down and leaned over to kiss my forehead.“Morning, siren,” he murmured against my skin. “I made you breakfast before the day steals me away.”I sat up, heart doing that dangerous little flip it always did when he was like this. Gentle. Attentive. Nothing like the man I’d once run from. We ate together in bed, him feeding me bites of perfectly scrambled eggs while I stole strawberries from his plate. For a few precious minutes, it felt like we were just a normal couple.Then his phone rang.The change was instant.Zephyr’s expression hardened the second he saw the caller ID. He answered with a voice I barely recognized — cold, sharp, and laced with authority.“What?” he snapped. “I told you to handle it quietly… No. If he thinks he can move ag

Are you okay?

KAMARAH'S POV The bed felt too big when I woke up. I reached for Zephyr out of habit, but my hand only found cool sheets. He was already gone.A single white rose and a handwritten note waited on his pillow.‘Business won’t let me go today. I’ll be thinking of you every second. Stay safe, siren. I’ll come back to you.’ — ZI held the note longer than I should have, tracing his bold handwriting with my fingertip. The emptiness in the penthouse pressed in around me. This was day one of whatever storm had pulled him away, and already the silence felt heavy.I made myself coffee and tried to shake off the strange ache in my chest. Missing him this quickly felt dangerous. I wasn’t supposed to miss the man I’d run from.I drove to Mrs. Delgado’s mid-morning. Nevan’s eyes lit up the second I walked through the door.“Mama! You’re here early!”I scooped him up, kissing his warm cheeks. “I’m all yours today, baby. What do you want to do?”We decided to build the biggest blanket fort the ap

I'd like that

KAMARAH'S POV The second day without Zephyr felt heavier than the first.I woke up to silence again. No rose. No note. Just the faint scent of his cologne lingering on the pillow like a ghost. I lay there for a long moment, staring at the ceiling, trying to ignore the strange emptiness in my chest. This was what I had wanted once — distance from the dangerous man who could ruin everything. Now the distance felt like a slow ache I couldn’t shake.I made myself get up and drove to Mrs. Delgado’s. Nevan was waiting by the door, bouncing on his toes despite the slight shadows under his eyes.“Mama! Today we go see puppets?”I smiled and scooped him up. “Yes, baby. Puppet show day.”The children’s theater was a small, colorful building downtown. We arrived early and found seats near the front. Nevan’s eyes sparkled as the lights dimmed and the colorful puppets came to life on stage — a brave fox, a clever turtle, and a singing bird on a magical journey. He clapped and laughed along wit

In trouble

KAMARAH'S POV The third day without Zephyr felt like walking through fog.I woke up reaching for him again, only to find cold sheets and an empty side of the bed. The silence in the penthouse was starting to feel personal, like it was mocking me. I made coffee and stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the city wake up below. Somewhere out there, Zephyr was handling things that involved blood and power. And I was here, missing a man I had every reason to fear.I tried to keep busy. I cleaned the already spotless kitchen, played the piano for an hour, even attempted a new sketch with the art supplies he’d bought me. Nothing helped. My eyes kept drifting to my phone, hoping for a call or even a simple text. Nothing came.By midday, I couldn’t stay in the penthouse any longer. I drove to Mrs. Delgado’s and picked up Nevan.Today we tried something new — a small community baking class for kids at a local bakery that had a children’s corner. The owner, a kind older woman, let u

Ten days

KAMARAH'S POV Sunlight spilled across the bed, warm and golden. For the first time in days, I woke up with Zephyr’s arms still wrapped around me. He was already awake, watching me with those stormy gray eyes that always seemed to see too much. The moment our gazes met, a slow, hungry smile curved his lips.“Good morning, siren,” he murmured, voice rough with sleep and something deeper.Before I could respond, he rolled me onto my back and captured my mouth in a deep, possessive kiss. His body pressed against mine, heavy and warm, as his hands explored my skin like he was rediscovering every inch after days apart. There was no rush this morning. No urgent calls pulling him away. Just us.He kissed down my neck, sucking lightly at the sensitive spot that always made me gasp. His mouth moved lower, trailing heat across my collarbone, then my breasts. When he took one nipple into his mouth, teasing it with his tongue, I arched into him with a soft moan. His bandaged hand from earlier
