The precinct buzzed with the frantic energy of a hive under attack, phones ringing, voices overlapping in a symphony of urgency. I stood in the eye of the storm, my gaze locked on the incident board, a map of the city scarred with colored pins marking crime scenes. My city. My case. My promotion on the line. "Poppy, you've been at it for 36 hours straight," my partner, Mike, leaned against the desk, his face etched with concern. "Go home, get some sleep." I shot him a glare that could freeze lava.…

It was hard to pass the house's threshold for the first time since the afternoon it all happened. Even with Silas flush against my back, giving me all the strength he could. I knew I had to do this; I was already halfway through the summer break, and it needed to be done before returning to school. For the last two weeks, Silas has been trying to amp me up to go back here and last night I felt strong enough to finally face it. So, today was a good day as any, but it felt like there was a barrier that kept…

The scent of blood and death still clung to my skin, a macabre perfume that served as a reminder of the justice I had dispensed. The rat's fear had been exquisite, a symphony of terror that had fueled my dark desires. But now, as I stood under the scalding spray of the funeral home's shower, I found myself thinking of Pietro. I had taken a ring from the rat's finger, a trophy to add to my collection, but it was the second piece of jewelry that had my heart pounding in anticipation. The band was plain,…

I let my tongue trail up to swirl around her clit in endless circles before using my lips to push back her clit hood to give her exposed clit a gentle suck, making her gush against my chin and drip down my throat to pool in my clavicle. She gave a little scream as I rushed to lap up all of her slick. She was so sensitive and responsive that I couldn’t get enough of her. I needed to make her come, and I needed to make her come now. Abandoning her thigh, I let my fingers plunge into her and curl to push…

I tried to wait up that night to see exactly what he would do with that cooler of organs, but I must’ve fallen asleep because I missed it entirely. When I checked again, the cooler was gone, and in its place was a ton of cash in an envelope taped to my door. The envelope was addressed “Thank you for trusting me, Your Biggest Fan.” I closed the door behind me, taking the opportunity to count just how much I made. It was a whopping half a million. Taking a gasping breath, I fell to my knees as tears…

I lay there next to Vanessa, her head resting on my chest and my hand stroking her hair. I listened to her breathing, slow and even, and I knew she was asleep. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction as I thought about what had happened between us tonight. She was mine now in a way no one else could ever be. But as I lay there, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing. It wasn’t that I wanted more from Vanessa. It was that I knew she wanted more. She had said Hadrian’s…

I had been casing the Iron Serpents' hideout for days, watching their comings and goings, noting their security measures, and memorizing the layout of their grimy fortress. The plan was simple, but it had to be executed with precision. There was no room for error; Razor's life and the security of the Vultures hung in the balance. The night was dark, the moon a mere sliver in the sky, providing just enough cover for what needed to be done. I parked my bike a good distance away, the roar of the engine…

I cracked one eye open, the bright morning sunlight already searing my retinas. Ugh, another day, another dollar. Or in my case, another day of being a glorified nursing home attendant to my dear, sweet grandmama. I rolled over, my head pounding from last night's bottle of cheap cabernet. The Mothman stared back at me from his rightful place on my wall, his beady eyes judging me for my life choices. "Mornin' to you too, Mothey," I grumbled, reaching for the grimy, chipped mug of lukewarm tea on my…

The heavy door of the lecture hall thudded shut behind me, the sound carrying a sense of satisfaction that hummed through my veins. Jasmine's laughter chimed in beside me, her body pressed against mine as if drawn by some unspoken gravitational pull. Her perfume—light, floral, and expensive—clung to my senses like a familiar blanket. I tightened my arm around her waist, relishing the attention from the guys who offered their congratulations on last night’s game-winning goal. "Did you see…

The first thing I became aware of was the sound of my own breathing, a steady rhythm that matched the subtle rise and fall of Gideon's chest beside me. The tent was a cocoon of warmth, the early evening sun casting a golden hue through the thin fabric, illuminating the space just enough to see the contours of Gideon's face in repose. He looked peaceful, the tension that usually lined his forehead smoothed out in sleep, his full lips parted slightly. My body was sated in a way it had never been before, the…
