Divorced, Desired, Dangerous Chapter 27: The Mariel Deceit
NILAHSlipping out of the bedroom, my movements were completely silent as I hurried down the dark, marble staircase. I reached the grand foyer just in time to see the bright red taillights of Darien’s sports car tearing through the gates, his engine roaring like thunder in the storm."Miss Nilah?"I spun around, my heart leaping into my throat. Jackson was standing near the security console in the corner, his black tactical vest already strapped tight over his chest, a heavy radio buzzing on his shoulder."Where is he going, Jackson?" I demanded, walking straight up to him, refusing to let my voice shake. "Tell me the truth."Jackson sighed, running a hand over his face. "Sir gave strict orders. You are supposed to be upstairs in the bedroom, Miss Nilah. The alpha squad is already moving downtown. It's not safe for you to be out of bed.""I am not sitting in a dark room while Darien burns the city down in my name," I snapped, stepping right into Jackson’s space, my eyes flashing with
Divorced, Desired, Dangerous Chapter 26: At War With the Odds
NILAHThe heavy rain was still hammering violently against the bedroom balcony windows, the sound echoing through the pitch-black room. The air was thick, suffocatingly hot, and completely filled with the sharp scents of rain, liquor, and the raw adrenaline of what had just happened between us.Darien’s massive frame was still heavy against me, his face buried deep in the crook of my neck. I could feel the violent, rapid thud of his heartbeat hammering directly against my chest, his rough, ragged breathing hot against my bare skin. My wrists were finally free from his steel grip, falling limply to my sides, but I didn't move an inch. My knees were still trembling, my body completely paralyzed against the cracked drywall from the intense, shattering climax he had just forced out of me.Slowly, Darien pulled his head back. In the dim light filtering through the storm, his grey eyes were entirely blown out, dark and unhinged. The savage pride dancing in his gaze made my stomach twist int
Divorced, Desired, Dangerous Chapter 25: Forbidden Touch
NILAHThe heat coming off Darien's body was too much. It burned right through the freezing rain soaking his clothes, radiating off his skin in waves that made my head spin. He kept my wrists pinned tight above my head with one massive hand, his grip like steel around my bones. I couldn't move an inch. His other hand slid down my waist, his rough, calloused fingers digging into the soft flesh of my bare thigh, forcing my legs apart until I was completely open to him against the wall."Darien, please," I choked out, my head tilting back against the hard wood. The rain had soaked through my thin shirt, plastering the fabric to my skin, my nipples hard and aching against the wet material.His mouth left mine, biting a path of heavy, hot kisses down my jaw straight to my neck. His teeth scraped against my pulse point, his tongue dragging over the sensitive skin, tasting the rain and salt and the desperate heat pouring off me."Please what, Nilah?" he growled against my skin, his voice thic
Divorced, Desired, Dangerous Chapter 24: The Wet Floor
NILAJThe heat coming off Darien's body was suffocating, He kept my wrists pinned tight above my head with one hand, His other hand slid down from my waist, his rough, calloused fingers digging into the bare skin of my thigh, forcing my legs apart until I was completely open to him against the wall."Darien, please," I breathed, my head tilting back against the hard wood as his mouth left mine, tracing a path of burning, heavy kisses down my jawline to the hollow of my neck.My tits were pressed against his chest, my nipples hard and aching, rubbing against the wet fabric of his shirt with every breath I took."Please what, Nilah?" he growled against my skin, his voice thick, gravelly, and completely undone. His teeth grazed my collarbone, biting down just hard enough to make me gasp."Tell me exactly what you want."I couldn't answer. My heart was hammering so violently against my ribs I could barely swallow. The raw male dominance radiating from him was overwhelming, erasing every s
Divorced, Desired, Dangerous Chapter 23: Possessive Claiming
NILAHThe bedroom door flew off the latch, slamming against the drywall. I jumped out of bed, my bare feet hitting the cold floorboards as my heart instantly slammed into my throat.The room was pitch black, but Darien’s massive silhouette filled the doorway like an apex predator locking onto its prey. He was completely soaked from the storm, his wet shirt clinging to the heavy muscles of his chest, and the raw stench of freezing rain and pure, unhinged fury came off him in suffocating waves.He didn't say a single word to me. He marched straight across the dark room, his heavy boots thudding against the floor. Before I could even step back, his large, calloused hands gripped my waist, lifting me completely off the ground."Darien, let me go!" I choked out, my fingers clawing desperately at his wet shoulders. "What is wrong with you? Let me down!"He didn't listen. He shoved me flat against the heavy wooden wall of the bedroom, his massive body pinning mine down so hard the air left
Divorced, Desired, Dangerous Chapter 22: Name A Price
DARIENThe downtown warehouse district was completely dead. Thick fog covered the docks, and the freezing, heavy rain made it almost impossible to see two feet ahead.My eyes locked onto the shadows of her father, Arthur, standing under a rusted metal side . L"You're late," Arthur gasped, spinning around. He clutched his chest, his pale face turning even whiter when he saw the expression on my face. " Darien, you scared the hell out of me. Did you empty the guards like I told you? Are we completely alone?""We're alone," I said. My voice was completely dead, freezing right through the sound of the pouring rain. I stepped closer, using my massive frame to trap him against the rusted metal wall. "You have exactly two minutes to tell me why you dragged me out of my house in the middle of the night, old man. Talk."Arthur didn't look scared anymore. Suddenly, his face twisted into a desperate, hardened look. He stepped right up to me, trying to look brave despite the rain dripping down

DarienThe tires of my sports car screeched loudly against the wet road as I tore out of the mansion’s driveway, the engine shouting through the empty streets.The rain was coming down in thick sheets, hammering against the windshield, but I didn't slow down. My hands were gripping the steering w
Divorced, Desired, Dangerous Chapter 20: Our First Fight
NILAHThe bedroom in the Castellano mansion was too big, and it was entirely too quiet.I sat on the edge of the massive king-sized bed, my hands tightly gripping the hem of my old, oversized sweater until my fingers turned white. It was my first night being married. Of course, I didn't expect sex

Divorced, Desired, Dangerous Chapter 17: The Attack
NILAHDarien’s words hung between us, heavy and absolute. “We are getting married tomorrow morning.”My breath hitched, my hands still pressed flat against the crisp, expensive fabric of his tuxedo jacket. I could feel the violent, rapid thudding of his heart beneath my palms. He wasn't just angry
