They've always been close-but never close enough. Ka'Zar "Kaos" Morris is reckless, ruthless, and never the type to settle down. Demetrius "Meech" Hayes is calculated, quiet, and fighting battles nobody knows about. In their world-where loyalty, survival, and power mean everything-neither has the room to admit the truth about what they want. But one moment of passion changes everything. Bound by secrets, jealousy, and the weight of the streets, Ka'Zar and Meech find themselves pulled into a dangerous push-and-pull that could either destroy them-or finally force them to face what's been between them all along. And in a game where one wrong move could cost them their family, their crew, and their lives, love might be the riskiest choice of all.

Pushing himself from the door Gulian neared her, standing in front of her. "I want you to stop seeing 𝙝𝙞𝙢, that's what I want." Kyomi scoffed as she shook her head. "Why would I stop doing that? Just 'cause you call yourself asking nicely?"

When you find yourself lost deep inside the woods, you don't have much choice but to follow a stranger back to his secluded cabin. "Thank you for letting me stay the night, who knows what animals could have been waiting in the shadows for me" "Sometimes the most dangerous beasts aren't the ones you find within the woods"

When you're left with a dead body in your kitchen and there's only one man you can call. The man you hate more than anything. With nobody else to turn to, you're stuck doing this under his terms. ••• "You just love to piss me off don't you?" His jaw ticks as he leans down towards me. "I don't really give a fuck about you Kain. I was just trying to have some fun before you went and ruined my night." "Oh you knew exactly what you were doing. I don't buy anything else for a second. You saw me. You knew you were pissing me off and you pushed me further. Well Drea, you pushed too fucking hard."

He's obsessed, insane even. He has to know her, watch her, touch her. She's his, and nothing will stop him. But she's smarter than he thinks.. ••• "You call me if he bothers you ever again, yeah?" "It's really nothing I-" he cuts me off "You'll call me." He says firmer "okay?" "Okay" I say softly, looking up at him. He's so fucking close to me. We just stand there for a moment and I'm having trouble remembering how to breathe. He leans closer, gently tilting my head up so that my eyes stay on him. "Good girl"
