His Favorite Toy

"Kneel."
His voice is cold, without a hint of emotion. I frown.

"Excuse me?"

Killian steps closer, his grip suddenly closing around my chin, forcing my eyes up to meet the ice in his.

I can't breathe.

"Don't make me repeat myself, Aiden."
Silence stretches. My body refuses to move.

Another pause. Then a slow, wicked smile curves his lips.

"Because if you refuse... I'll remove you from this organization."

I freeze. Words die in my throat.

"So... what's it going to be?"

Killian Ward is only twenty, yet he has already climbed to the highest rank an assassin can reach: S+. Cold. Precise. Untouchable. And now he has been chosen as the new commander of the organization that trained him to be a weapon.

Everyone knows his name. Everyone fears him.
Everyone but one.

Aiden Cole, an A-rank assassin with a reputation for disobedience, refuses to bow to a leader barely older than him. He has survived too much to kneel for a stranger. Especially one who looks at him like he's already owned.

From the moment Killian steps into the headquarters, the air between them turns sharp. Aiden pushes back. Killian pushes harder. Power shifts, tempers clash, and somewhere between a blade and a heartbeat... desire sparks.

He wants freedom.
He wants control.
They both want each other.

In a world built on blood, dominance, and secrets that can kill faster than a bullet, their story begins with a threat... and turns into something far more dangerous.
