Daisy povI sat there for a moment after Dad said it.Samuel.The name sat in the room like something heavy that nobody wanted to pick up."I will tell you more once I know more," Dad said, already reaching for his phone again. "For now, I just wanted you to hear it from me."I just noted lightly, my heart beat was rising. A part of me didn't care if Samuel was back or not. But another part of me wanted to know why. Why did he leave? No explanation, where did I go wrong? I loved him, I respected him. I even introduced him to my family. To Dad, to Ella and Queen.For being loyal, I deserved an explanation. "You may all go," he said, already half distracted by whatever was on his screen.Ella stood first, smoothing her dress, and Adrian followed without looking at me. Nobody said goodnight. The three of them filed out and left me sitting there a few seconds longer than I meant to.Then I stood too and walked out behind them. I heard Dad yell behind me, “Learn to be a better big sister

I only slept for a few hours, and I was up and ready to leave Italy.I decided to go to Jordan's room and ask him if he wanted to leave Italy with us. After all, he was only here because I was here.But Killian and Jordan in one car?For some reason, they clearly don't like each other. And I hate that because they are both the most important people in my life. I would have loved for them to be good friends because I can't pick one person over the other.A car hummed in the compound.There wasn't much time left. We were leaving soon.Maybe he might be interested.The house was quiet. It was still early in the morning. My hand hovered over the doorknob before I knocked once, then opened. I froze.He was wearing a pair of boxers only, with no underwear, which allowed him to show off his muscles. “Jes..Daisy, why would you just batch in like that? What if I were completely naked?” he jumped and reached for the pillow to cover himself. I locked the door behind me and walked to the edge

We were in the car ten minutes later, the villa shrinking behind us in the side mirror. I glanced at Killian. His hands were steady on the wheel, but something about the set of his shoulders hadn't fully relaxed yet. "What did Jordan say to you?" I asked. "Nothing important." "Killian." He glanced at me, then back at the road. "He just wanted to remind me he was here first." A pause. "I wanted to remind him that it doesn't matter." I studied his profile for a moment. "That's it?" "That's it." I didn't believe him completely. But I let it sit, because something told me pushing wouldn't get me anywhere right now and because some small, quiet part of me had liked watching him hold his ground. The villa disappeared around the bend. Italy was behind us now. And somewhere ahead, waiting in a city I hadn't thought about in years, was a man with a name I hadn't said out loud since. Samuel. Immediately we landed, Viktor was already there with a car key. A broad sm

Killian reached past me for something on the shelf."What about this one?" He turned it over slowly in his hand, studying it like he was inspecting a fine piece of jewellery rather than a sex toy. "Looks like it knows exactly where it's going."My whole body reacted before my brain caught up. Heat climbed up my neck so fast I had to grip the edge of the glass counter."Look at this," he said, voice low and almost sweet, nodding toward the wall beside us.I followed his gaze.Handcuffs. Velvet-lined, polished steel, hanging neatly from a brass hook."Imagine," he murmured, stepping closer, "your wrists right there. At the same time, I take my time with you. Piece by piece." His breath grazed my ear. "And you'd be begging before I even started."I forgot how to breathe properly for a second.This was the problem with Killian. He could turn a sentence into something physical, something that lived under my skin before I had any say in the matter. My knees actually felt unsteady. My finger

Her gaze on me was intense, like she needed just a confirmation from me before she went off on me.There was really no need to lie to her, yet I didn't answer."Killian," she called, with an intense gaze tearing deep into my body, down to my soul.I didn't respond."Did. You. Know. My. Ex. Was. In. Town," she asked again.Okay, okay, yes, I knew. And so what? Why does it matter if I didn't tell her? After all, I was only protecting her. Because I knew it would break her when she found out that her ex was in town and had a wife and a child.I had intended to scare him away from New York before Daisy ever heard he was around.But that son of a bitch had always escaped my men. And this trip to Italy made it a little tougher to fish him out from a distance.But I was back."Am talking to you, Killian," she yelled into my thoughts.I swallowed. "I am sorry, baby.""Answer the damn question, Killian."I tightened my grip on the steering wheel. "Yes, I knew he was in town, but I did…" I trai
