JANICE

FOUR YEARS AGO

I was hot.

Today was a fucking hot day.

The afternoon sun filtered softly through the dorm window, casting this warm glow over the tangled sheets. I was sprawled on my stomach across the table, my laptop open in front of me, typing furiously on my part of the group project the lecturer had graciously given to us just yesterday. My hair was a mess, and I was wearing one of Noel’s old hoodies that still smelled like him.

Like sandalwood and mint.

Mila was lying beside me on

  • Just One Night to Own Me, Daddies   Not the worst price to pay

    LUCIANThe men ambushed us just minutes after we arrived at the coordinates Calder had sent.We had moved in silently, splitting into teams to cover the hidden approach points around the estate. Once Calder’s words about who owned this place settled in me, it became easier for me to understand why she would choose a place like this.Once you were expecting it, there was no way anyone would be able to ambush you here.Except you were an idiot. And the woman we were coming for was not an idiot in any means or manner.“Hands up! Drop your weapons!”“Fucking hell!” Aiden cussed beside me. “They couldn’t give us a five minute head start, seriously?”If they didn’t have guns pressed against our backs, I would have laughed at that. Because Aiden had hated this plan and told me it would backfire badly.“I said, hands up!”I raised my hands slowly, signaling the others to do the same. Our guns clattered to the forest floor, at the same time metal cuffs snapped around my wrists, biting into my

  • Just One Night to Own Me, Daddies   Sign, Calder Vaughn

    CALDER“I have a plan,” Cassandra had said to me one morning, a few months before I married Valentina. It wasn’t the first time she did something like that during the off period of my relationship.I nodded. “Where are we going?”Cassandra took me to this estate—a sprawling property hidden behind thick woods and high walls, far from the prying eyes of whatever neighbors she might have.“Bought it in my brother’s name and all.”When I asked her why she was sinking so much of her money into a place tied to her but not technically hers, she smiled that same crooked smile and said, “I just wanted something off the grid, honey. Something that belongs to me without the world ever knowing.”It had made sense at the time.A woman like Cassandra was always paranoid, always three steps ahead. We had walked the grounds together, and when we reached the archery range, her eyes had lit up with that dangerous sparkle that always came once in a while. She picked up a bow and arrow, testing the strin

  • Just One Night to Own Me, Daddies   Uncuff me

    CALDER“No.” My voice was ice. “I’m going to slam your head against this wall and watch the light leave your own eyes if you say another word.”The woman’s bloody grin only widened. Even with my hand crushing her throat and the chair pinned against the wall, she laughed like this was the funniest thing she’d ever heard. Her pulse fluttered wildly under my fingers. For some reason, I wanted to squeeze that damn throat until that pulse stopped. I wanted to erase the poison she’d spat about my woman.How dare she? She probably… no, I was pretty sure she did not know Janice.“Calder!” Lucian’s voice cut through the red haze. His hand locked around my wrist, stopping me from committing murder right now. “We have to leave this place right now or else we get blown up. Move!”After I released her only because Lucian was already dragging me away, one of the men we brought with us grabbed both the woman and the chair, hurling her like she was nothing but baggage. My injuries screamed with every

  • Just One Night to Own Me, Daddies   Russian roulette

    JANICEThe business sister or Cassandra or whatever she wanted to call herself, took me away from the first location to what I could only describe as an estate, and placed me in a rather vast room. With no window, the crystal chandeliers were the only source of light, casting this sickly amber glow across the room.After being forced to sit on a chair with my hands and ankles bound, all I had to be grateful for was the clothes I had on—an oversized shirt and sweatpants Cassandra tossed at me before taking me away from that place. The clothes smelled faintly of detergent and they were warm. After that damp chill of the warehouse, the threat of pneumonia felt too real.But I was alive, right?That was the most important thing at the moment.No… it wasn’t. The most important thing right now was getting any information about my sister like she was alive. Nancy had to be alive.The best way to get such information is to escape from this room and estate. That was highly unlikely. After the

  • Just One Night to Own Me, Daddies   Screwed

    LUCIANThe sudden force slammed straight into the side of the door, too close to comfort to Calder’s body, showering his body with the sharp sound of iron hitting iron.CRACK!We took cover behind a row of rusted shipping containers at the side of the warehouse, quite close but still too far away from the door to just rush in. The night air here was cold and damp, carrying the faint smell of oil and decay from all around us. My men moved silently around us, checking their weapons and positions with the efficiency of men who had done this multiple times.Calder was breathing hard beside me, clearly not ready to be on a mission like this, but refusing to stay behind. Aiden was on the other side, jaw tight, eyes scanning the building.“Hide here,” I ordered instantly, not giving them the opportunity to do what they actually wanted. “I’ll take Anton and locate the sniper. The rest of you find a safe way in that doesn’t get us picked off one by one.”Calder nodded once, gripping his gun ti

  • Just One Night to Own Me, Daddies   Snipers

    AIDENWe were in a room filled with so many computers and not enough people, in my opinion. And it was quite musty too. Perhaps it was the exhaustion from staying awake for almost twenty four hours that was making me see these things, even with sleep being nothing but a luxury none of us could afford now.Calder sat opposite me, looking like death itself with how pale he looked mixed with the beads of sweat trailing down his forehead, despite the fact that it was cold as fuck in here. Across from me and beside Calder was a man I had never met until today—tall, wiry, with the same sharp eyes and the knowing smirk of a mad man.That wasn’t the strange thing here. In our line of work, it was perfectly normal to know people the others didn’t.What I found strange was the way the man kept calling Calder “baby boy” and scuffing his hair every chance he got. The ratty man was also shorter and younger looking.The history there was not the type I was ready to bug Calder about.Maybe on a bett

  • Just One Night to Own Me, Daddies   An apology

    JANICEAiden’s mouth was still on mine.He was kissing me… kissing me… fucking kissing me. And because I was a woman with needs, I kissed the asshole back, lost in the familiar heat, the anger, the need to feel something other than the crushing weight of everything else and Valentina’s words which

    JANICEFourth time was the charm, right?I remained outside the private hospital room, hand hovering over the door handle for the second time this fucking evening, my heart pounding like it wanted to escape my ribcage that exact moment.

    AIDENWhen I was a boy of fifteen, a man of twenty, and even a man of twenty five, all I wanted to have was a successful business. I didn’t come from money like the rest of my classmates, but my mother made sure I never lacked anything.The best schools she could afford? I went there.Extracurricul

    JANICEThis was the third time in three days.I didn’t know what kept bringing me back here. With all the time I spent with Nancy in the hospital, coming back to this sterile private hospital room with all the soft beeping machines and getting the smell of antiseptic all up in my nose, I never woul
