All Chapters of Rough Mercy: A Collection of Dark Passions: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

After his husband's betrayal, a man finds a devastating form of revenge: seducing his own father-in-law. At first, it was just a game until it turned into so much more.CHAPTER 1The evidence had been there, on his face for ages, but he ignored it. He didn't want to think of him in that light. He wanted to think of Adam as the man he knew him as, the one he had fallen in love with years ago.Adam had cheated, not even once, not even fucking twice. He had gotten away with it all these years, while Dave tried to turn a blind eye, just because of his love for him.But it wasn't enough anymore. He had done something he would never forgive him for. He had not only cheated, but he also gave his company shares to that bastard.He got a kept mistress, one Dave had just found out about. Instead of throwing a tantrum, he decided to visit his father-in-law. He was the only one he had. As an orphan, Leonard had taken him in when he got married to Adam. Leonard had been there for him through thick

“Tell me to stop,” Dave echoed against his skin as he unfastened Leonard's belt with clumsy, urgent fingers. The buckle clinked softly. He got the button open, the zip down, and pushed the trousers and briefs over Leonard's hips.Leonard's cock sprang free, thick and full, curving up against his stomach. The head was flushed a deep, ruddy red, already wet at the tip. Dave stared, his mouth going dry. He'd imagined this in some dark, shameful corner of his mind, but the reality was more than he had ever imagined. He was freaking bigger than Adam, than all the lovers he had ever taken. He only hesitated for a few seconds before he wrapped his hand around the base, feeling the heat, and the velvety skin. A drop of pre-cum beaded at the slit, and he leaned in and licked it away, tasting salt and musk and something uniquely, essentially Leonard's.Leonard cursed, his hips jerking involuntarily as Dave took him into his mouth slowly, letting his tongue flatten against the underside, tracin

Dave came to him for protection. He wouldn't give out his location, not even if Adam begged him. At the mention of the bastard he wanted so badly to forget, a cold spike drove through Dave's chest.“Show me,” Dave said. His voice surprised him. He sounded too calm, compared to that rage that was slowly getting bigger in him, so big, he knew it would have engulfed him if he had gone somewhere alone and not sought Leonard out as he did.Leonard frowned. “Are you sure?”“Yeah, just show me.”“If you insist.” Leonard crossed the room and sat on the edge of the bed. He held out the phone and scrolled through the messages for Dave to read. He also watched his face, to know if he was softening for him. He wouldn't blame Dave if he actually wanted Adam back. They were married, of course. He wouldn't have stayed with Adam for as long as he did, if he didn't like that bastard.Dave stared at the name on the screen, at the name of the man who promised him a life, then fractured it with a strang

When his boyfriend's shy younger brother asks him for an intimate lesson, he provides a hands-on demonstration of the pleasure one man can give another, falling deep into a trap he never saw coming.CHAPTER 1The door to his room creaked open and Ethan stirred, the sound pulling him up from a shallow sleep. He squinted, his eyes adjusting to the slice of hallway light framing a silhouette in the doorway. At first, he thought it was his lover, until he noticed that the person standing by the door was leaner and shorter. Kael. The kid just stood there, unsure of what he was doing.“Ethan?” He whispered.At the sound of the familiar voice, Ethan pushed himself up on his elbows, the thin cotton sheet pooling at his waist. He was shirtless, but thankfully, in his briefs. He liked going to bed naked, but with how restless the day had been for him, he only remembered to remove the shirt, not the brief. “Kael? What's wrong?” The sleep in his eyes vanished immediately, replaced by a concern f

Ethan didn't get to see Kael until later that night. When he woke up in the morning, he learned from James that Kael had left early that morning, claiming he had an early morning class.Ethan had felt guilty when he heard those words, believing Kael was avoiding him. He must have felt disgusted with him for giving in.Just like the night before, Ethan had retired alone to the guestroom instead of the room he shared with his boyfriend. It was the second day of the promised week he had given James, and he thought he would spend it alone.However, at exactly 11 PM, at the same time Kael showed up the night before, the door to the guest room opened without a knock. Ethan was sitting up in bed, reading on his phone. He looked up, expecting James, and his breath caught.Kael stood silhouetted in the hallway light, but he wasn't in pyjamas. He wore a pair of soft, grey sweatpants that hung low on his hips and nothing else. The light traced the sharp lines of his collarbones and the flat plan
