Chapter 11: Things are not always what they seemPriest       I watch as Sage walks off with Hunter. Her face is pale and haunted. And it’s all my fault. But I can’t think about that right now. Not when these two men seemed to have an agenda. It doesn’t take me long to get to my place. Dragon is already there waiting for me with my prisoner. The man is handcuffed to a single chair in an insulated supply room I use to keep hazardous materials.       He’s begging Dragon to let him go. Too bad that he doesn’t know that Dragon is the least sympathetic person that he’ll ever meet. Dragon would be more likely to cut his throat than let him go.Stepping completely into the room, I close the door behind me and stand next to Dragon. The man’s face loses all color when he sees me. His face is still bloody, and his clothes are soiled and torn from our scuffle earl

PriestStepping out of Sage’s room, I lean my back on the doorway and let out a deep breath. The woman is an incredible temptation. Having her body against mine earlier and seeing her with Connor and Tariq has taken me beyond my endurance limit. I don’t even know how I managed not to throw her down on the bed and fuck her brains out.It takes me a couple of seconds to calm my body down and head to the kitchen. Sage’s apartment is surprisingly roomy. The whole place is an open concept with exposed brick and cream-colored furniture. Looking through her cabinets, I take some utensils and begin to cook.Unfortunately, my relaxed state only lasts until I hear the sound of the shower running. My imagination is in overdrive at the thought of her perfect naked body sliding into the shower. Every curve of her body is recorded in my mind. I remember the taste of her stiff nipples, the concave swell of her navel, and the weight of her firm breasts against

Priest       I’ve never slept with a woman before. Actually... let me clarify what I just said. I’ve had sex with women, but I’ve never had one sleep in my bed before, other than Sage. From the first moment she came to my home, I found it a little disconcerting to wake up with her in my arms. However, it’s not a horrible experience. It’s actually the complete opposite. Yesterday was a turning point for us. Not because of the sex, which is mind-blowing, but because I realized that letting her go is not an option. Up until I saw her with Connor, I fooled myself into thinking that what we did was just sex. But no one has ever made me feel this connection that I feel with her. I’ve also come to the realization that I’ve punished myself for what happened to my brother enough. I need to let him go and live my life─ perhaps fall in love.However, I’m not sure if I’m ready to discuss

Priest       Sage’s hand settles against my chest as each button reveals a sliver of olive skin. My chest tingles with every touch of her fingers, and my stomach contracts when she pulls the collar back to slide the shirt off my shoulders. She gasps in pleasure when she reveals my powerful chest and ridged stomach. To my utter delight, she leans close and kisses her way down my jaw, neck, and chest. Savoring her touch, I slip off my shirt and pull her naked chest against mine. I swallow a groan when the soft buds of her nipples rub enticingly across my coiled stomach. Wanting to feel more of her naked body, I slide my hands down to her rounded bottom and lift her higher to rub her soft folds against my hard cock.Pleasure zings through my body as she grinds her hips against mine and arches her back for a deeper contact. Our mouths meet again, nipping and sucking wildly. We both fall back onto the bed. Her legs wrap around my waist w

Priest/ Aidan“What the fuck, Priest? How could you do that to her?” Stryker growls out in bewilderment. Pacing across the floor, I sift my fingers through my hair and take a few deep breaths. “She had me investigated Stryker. She fucking knows about Corbin and Tanya!”Stryker holds up his arms in a calming nature. “Just think about this, Priest. Why would she do that, and how would she be able to do it?” I shrug my shoulders. “I don’t know. Look at the file!” I gesture to the papers strewn haphazardly across the floor.Stryker picks up the papers and gives me an intent look. “It makes no sense, man. Even if she knew your name, she wouldn’t have a reason to investigate you. The woman is in love with you.”I shake my head. “I don’t know, but the proof is there.”Stryker thinks things through then looks back at me. “This is not right. First of all, why wou
