Topper And Rafe Novels & Stories

“Rafe… this is actually good.” “Actually?” he gasped in mock offense. “Woman, I slaved over that stove like Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel.” The Don shook his head, but Selena caught the ghost of a smile at his mouth. They ate together at the kitchen island, laughter spilling between bites. It was absurd—three people who had burned cities now sharing syrup and butter—but Selena couldn’t remember a moment that felt more human. After breakfast, Rafe dragged her to the garden, insisting she needed to see his “new hobby.” He had planted three small flowers—crooked, half-wilted—and stood proudly over them.

But Nick stayed silent, forcing himself to hold the line. Rafe gave a tiny nod and slipped into the backroom again. Nick exhaled, finally allowing tension to leave his shoulders. Tomorrow. He would return. But tonight… he followed. --- Rafe left the café thirty minutes later, stepping into the cool evening air with a backpack slung over one shoulder. He walked with a slight hunch, as though unconsciously trying to make himself smaller. Nick followed from a distance. Rafe didn’t notice him. His attention stayed flickering around the street—the neon lights, the passing cars, the people milling about. Every little sound made him tense, shoulders tightening in reflex.

The door creaked open and in came Rafe, I recognized his shoes. "Boss, there's an important matter we need to discuss." Rafe carefully told me. "I'm listening," I blankly uttered. I briefly looked up at him and noticed that it had become light outside again. Thousands of people dies and the world keeps spinning and the sun keeps shining. It must be some kind of sick joke that the universe keeps making. Over and over again. "It's Hera." Rafe uttered and my head shot up at him. I frowned before getting up from where I was sitting and frowned at him.

I love you, Maggie,' 'I love you too Jake please come home!' I end the connection I hate the fear in her voice. Rafe comes out of the undergrowth behind the doctor snorting to get his attention. He laid down my head at the doctor's feet in submission hoping he would get the message. He did. "You must be Beta Jake," He says. Rafe nods his head. "Your Alpha is in it deep, isn't he? We need to do something." Rafe whines his agreement.

The promise is completely dead with the owner of the promise. Rafe arrived in front of Cooper's study. He kicked the door so hard it swung open to reveal Cooper sitting on his throne with five heavily armed men pointing guns at him. Rafe gave the men a quick glance, then he stepped inside without the slightest fear of the bluff Cooper was making to frighten him. “You suddenly came to my house and broke the door of my study. What happened to you, Rafe?” "No need to pretend to be an idiot. I know you did the attack. You sent your men to kill me in Las Vegas."

He pressed a kiss to my head and moved to the kitchen counter to help his youngest brother. "How have you been?" I asked him, turning slightly so I could watch them work together. Their dark heads were almost identical in color, but Rafe's hair was longer. The hair's breadth of difference in their heights added to the picture of big, strong men. Dom was the tallest, followed closely by Turo. These two could have been twins were it not for the eight year difference in their ages. He looked up from the saucepan. Smiled. "Good. Playing with money is always fun for me."
