Jaxen

I remained standing where I was for several seconds, my hand still hovering close to the door handle as Viktor's words replayed in my head.

“It's too late,” Viktor’s voice echoed.

Too late for what exactly?

Too late to leave?

Too late to realize that following Damiano to a warehouse in the middle of nowhere had probably been one of the stupidest decisions I had ever made?

Or too late because these people genuinely planned on holding me hostage until I agreed to participate in whatever no

  • I Want Her Bare, Always   Chapter 149

    Jaxen The drive across the city was strangely quiet. Hazel didn't pressure me into talking again after everything I'd told her at the restaurant, and honestly, I appreciated it. My head already felt heavy enough without having to explain things I barely understood myself. She simply kept both hands on the steering wheel, humming softly to whatever song was playing on the radio while I stared out of the passenger window.The streets looked normal—people crossing roads, couples laughing together, children chasing each other along sidewalks—but I couldn't remember the last time my own life had looked anything close to normal. It was almost painful watching everyone else live so freely while I felt like I had spent months running from one disaster straight into another.After nearly twenty minutes, Hazel slowed the car in front of a modest apartment building tucked away on a quiet street. There was nothing particularly special about it. No expensive gates, no security guards standing out

  • I Want Her Bare, Always   Chapter 148

    JaxenWalking into the restaurant almost felt unreal. For the first time in what seemed like forever, I wasn't surrounded by armed guards, abandoned warehouses, secret hideouts, or people speaking in riddles about my past. Instead, there was soft music playing through hidden speakers, the smell of fresh coffee mixed with baked bread, and ordinary people having ordinary conversations. I had forgotten what normal looked like. It felt strange... almost foreign. I stood by the entrance for a second, scanning the room until I spotted Hazel waving both hands at me from a table near the window. The moment our eyes met, the huge grin on her face made me smile despite everything weighing on my shoulders.The second I reached the table, Hazel stood up and wrapped both arms around me so tightly I almost lost my balance. She made it look like I had previously been declared brain dead, and only just made a miraculous recovery. She held onto me for several seconds before finally pulling away, thoug

    Charles Everything's just unraveling at the wrong time!The club was louder than I remembered. Music pounded through the walls, colorful lights flashed across the room, and people danced as though they didn't have a single problem waiting for them outside. Laughter rose from every corner while waiters moved between tables carrying expensive bottles and overflowing glasses.Brad and I sat inside one of the private booths overlooking the dance floor, but unlike everyone else in the building, neither of us looked interested in having fun. A glass of whiskey sat untouched in front of me as my thoughts wandered from Jax to Viktor, then to Jackson and every secret that seemed determined to destroy whatever peace I had left.Brad noticed before I even spoke. Ever since surviving the shooting, he insisted he was back to normal, even though his movements occasionally reminded me otherwise. Still, he carried himself with the same confidence as always, leaning comfortably against the leather se

    Jax The room became painfully quiet after Viktor's last words, and for the first time in what felt like forever, I couldn't think of a sarcastic response. My mind kept circling the same questions without finding a single answer. Siblings? Biological parents? More secrets Charles didn't know? It all sounded too ridiculous to believe, yet something about the confidence in Viktor's voice made it difficult to dismiss everything as another manipulation.I folded my arms tightly across my chest and began pacing the room again, hoping the movement would somehow untangle the mess inside my head. Instead, it only made the silence louder, and Viktor didn't interrupt me once. He simply watched, almost as though he understood that I was fighting with myself more than I was fighting with him.Just as I was about to demand that he either prove everything he had said or stop wasting my time, the heavy warehouse door opened. A man dressed in a black suit walked inside carrying a weathered brown pack

    JaxenI marched straight toward the exit without looking back, my heartbeat pounding louder with every step I took. I had heard enough for one day, and if one more person claimed to know something about my life that I didn't, I was going to lose whatever little sanity I still had left. My hand reached for the metal handle, but the moment I pulled it, the door refused to move. I frowned and pulled harder, convinced it had only gotten stuck. It still didn't budge. Letting out an irritated breath, I rattled it a few more times before finally noticing the large guard standing a few feet away, watching me with an expression that was neither hostile nor welcoming."Excuse me," I called, forcing a polite smile that I definitely didn't feel. "Can you open the door?"The man straightened slightly before shaking his head. "I'm afraid I can't."I blinked. "You... can't?""No, ma'am."I pointed at the door. "There's a lock.""Yes.""You have the key.""Yes.""So open it."The guard folded his han

    Jax I was still glaring at Viktor as though my eyes alone could set him on fire when Damiano stepped between us and rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. He looked like a man trying to diffuse a bomb, which was funny considering he had personally driven me to the bomb in the first place."Don't look at me like that," he said, letting out a small breath as he shoved his hands into his pockets. "You make it seem like I kidnapped you.""You practically did," I replied immediately, folding my arms tightly across my chest. "I asked you to take me home, Damiano. Home. Not to some dusty warehouse where a billionaire suddenly develops feelings and starts confessing them like he's in a romantic comedy."Damiano snorted and briefly looked away. "To be fair, I didn't know he'd say that.""Really?""Really.""You expect me to believe that?""No.""Good."The corner of his mouth twitched upward, but his expression softened moments later as he glanced toward Viktor and then looked back at me."Ju

    CharlesThe car came to stop beneath a flickering streetlight. I got out, the gravel, broken glass, and grime of the warehouse district crunching under my shoes.It’s a depressing place, but it’s also quiet—perfect for my meetings and for all the violence. We’re parked in front of two small, dark

    Jax“You’re awake.”The voice is husky and the scoff that followed made me rub my eyes. It took an extra second to realize what was going on. Shit… I really did fall asleep?“You wanted me to die in my sleep?”“I’d give my life to Christ if you did. You know? Never call myself the devil.” That was

    JaxI can't remember the last time I had a meal like this. Like an actual traditional breakfast. “Good morning,” Martha said with a small smile, placing a tray on the table. “I didn't know if you'd like to eat outside your room so I brought breakfast here.”An omelet with vegetables and cheese, a
