Three weeks later, Niran watched Kaleo dress in a white suit and shirt, then slip his socked feet into white loafers, frowning slightly. His boyfriend had mostly healed. The vivid bruises on his ribs had faded to faint yellow shadows, and the lingering pain had become bearable. It was a beautiful, sunny Wednesday morning. Niran wanted to take Kaleo to Komorebi because the club's core members had requested an emergency meeting. Niran knew Agnes Kathani had made the request, no doubt to addr

Kaleo woke up the next morning at six o'clock, as always. He was still in the hospital; a bedside lamp cast soft shadows across the room. He let out a quiet sigh and shifted. He blinked when he found Niran lying on his right side, watching him. He smiled and reached for him. “Don’t move,” Niran said, his voice rough. “The nurse just put medicine in your IV line.” “Oh,” Kaleo said, finally noticing the catheter taped to his left hand. “I wonder what it’s for?” “Pain reliever,” Nira

Jake’s call connected to Command. The tactical team had heard Kaleo call out East Marsh Farm, and Niran’s sharp curse as he ended the call. “Command, this is Rasul. We are slipping away from Blossom Street and heading toward East Marsh Farm.” Rasul’s voice crackled through the comms. “The local police and the Royal Navy team are still locked down processing the house, so we're keeping our exit quiet. The situation is delicate. I don’t want the cavalry tracking us and turning this into a mas

To make up for all the literal cliffhanging, you're all invited . Just two more chapters of the trouble then back to fun things. Cheers.

“Kal?” Niran’s voice shook with panic. “Baby?” A beep sounded, and the call ended. Niran leaned forward to yell at the helicopter pilot. “Go faster, goddammit. We’re running out of time.” “Boss.” Rasul pulled him back into his seat, but Niran shook his head. “I shouldn’t have let him go alone. I should have insisted on going with him,” Niran said, tasting bitter, metallic dread. “Boss, don’t beat yourself up like this. He is an adult with a company of his own to run. You coul

After a beautiful weekend in Delbury, Kaleo received a call from Yaya on Sunday night. A problem at the Camfield project site needed Kaleo’s attention. So Niran’s helicopter picked them up from Balhill early Monday morning, and they returned to Camfield City. “I’ve increased your security,” Niran said to Kaleo as he watched him settle into the back of a large black Range Rover SUV. Outfitted with heavy armor, the vehicle’s windows and windshield were all reinforced with bulletproof glass.

Contemplating the ending now and feeling very nostalgic, and these comments are giving me life, hahaha. Thanks for the amazing gallery of comments! I've loved it very much. Final chapters coming up. Look forward to it.

After lunch, Jill and Tilly insisted on going to the orchard to check on David, who had been working with a crew to oversee the harvesting of peaches ripening on the trees. Kaleo took Niran along as they walked down a wide dirt path leading to the orchard. “Your father likes farming,” Niran said, holding Kaleo’s left hand as they followed Jill and Tilly, who were skipping ahead excitedly. The girls wore jeans and T-shirts. Their brown hair was covered with wide-brimmed sun hats. They

The Case of the Commandery Princess and the Prime Minister’s Narrow Escape Chapter 26 Azula climbed into the opulent carriage gifted to him by Basileus Dio and sat on one of the plush velvet benches. Basileus Dio expressed his disappointment that he couldn't talk to him but promised to call him to the palace soon. Soriel hugged him and promised to visit when she could get away. Azula was sure it would not be soon since she was in charge of investigating Olneth, and that did not look li

The Case of the Commandery Princess and the Prime Minister’s Narrow Escape Chapter 25 Azula’s gaze settled on Dio, who was still holding the Nerasa Kingdom’s letter from Trevan Pearcliff. He hoped the Basileus wouldn't tear it up, because it was the only copy. Of course, he could not let anyone know that truth. The only other person who knew the truth was Alise, who knew to ask for a new one if the island needed it. Azula and Alise had promised each other that if he was truly lost

A sudden, sharp knock on the office door shattered the quiet intimacy of the room. Niran sighed and buried his face deep into the warm curve of Kaleo’s neck, letting out a soft, terribly put-upon groan that vibrated against Kaleo's skin. A fond flutter of affection swelled in Kaleo's chest at the dramatic display. “I miss our days on the yacht,” Niran whispered, his lips brushing against Kaleo's pulse point in a lingering, reluctant caress. “There were no interruptions. I’m suddenly resentf

The next morning, Kaleo woke to the rich scent of fresh coffee, bergamot, rose, and warm spice on his pillow. He shifted on the bed and tugged at the covers, unwilling to leave the bed just yet. “Morning, kitten,” Niran’s soothing voice said. Kaleo opened his eyes and peeked over the covers to see Niran sitting in one of the two armchairs arranged around the coffee table near the tall windows, enjoying a cup of coffee. He wore a black sweater and comfortable dark pants. His dark hair w

Brandon is a headache. I want to put him out of his misery now, hahaha. I really could have. I thought about it, but then I didn't want to deal with a cliffhanger, so I posted it all at once like a jellybean special! Kaleo, when you piss him off.

Brandon stared at the ringing phone on his desk with a heavy frown. The trucks he used for transportation were late in completing a critical delivery for one of Rivenrose’s construction projects. They were late because Sean Dean had half of his trucks waiting at Shawick Co. for a suspiciously delayed shipment, and the other half had a new crew that was late returning from the capital. Ever since Hank had gone missing and his seasoned crew had scattered, Brandon had been forced to use Sean D

Seems so, he's like the best way to hold on is to tie him legally 😂.
