Chapter 25 Alyssa After waking up and taking a shower since I passed out right after whatever the hell last night was- begin packing up Zuris and my things .
She had stirred some time during the night , hat thankfully , 1 had formula and water on the dresser .
To my surprise , she fell right back adeep , allowing me to sleep a litle longer .
I dont know when Grays flight lands , but I want to be packed and ready for when he gets here .
Finding my way downstairs in the dark with the flashlight on my phone , I head into the living room to search for any toys I happened to leave in here last night .
What are you doing ? I jump at the sound of Kings deep , gravelly voice , my heart racing .
I dont know why , but it takes me back to all those times I tried to leave with Zuri , only to find Isaac waiting to catch me .
King , seated in his armchair with a drink in hand , raises a brow at my startled reaction .
I Em sorry , just let me … catch my breath , I choke out , collapsing onto the couch , clutching my chest , which feels like its being squeezed by ari invisible hand .
My hands tremble uncontrollably , and my heartbeat roars in my ears .
Okay , I think Im having a panic attack right now .
And right in front of King Great lin vaguely aware of King striding across the room and sitting beside me , yanking me into his lap .
I didnt mean to scare you .
Just breathe , be murmurs , placing a hand on my chest .
I try to pull away from him , embarrassed .
Im okay , I just- Breathe , I obey , closing my eyes and taking deep breaths .
His bold tightens , and somehow , in both comforts me and freaks me the hell out at the same time .
We sit in silence for what feels like whatever until I can breathe normally agan .
Good girl , King praises .
Now what were you doing wondering around in the dark ? .

I hop off his lap , and he leis me , his eyes tracking my every movement .
Sorry , that was weird .
Can we just forget that happened ? I ask with a nervous laugh , He just stares at me , waiting for me to answer his question .
I sigh , rolling my eyes .
Fine .
I thought Id get our things packed before Zuri woke up .
You know , to make it easier for Gray .
His expression suddenly darkens .
I dont want you to leave , he growls , and my eyes widen in shock .
As he rises from the couch .
I instinctively take a step back Youll tell Gray you want to stay here , that you dont feel safe being so close to your husband , he adds , obviously not caring or not if he sounds insane or not .
Ifrown , confusion mixing with my frustration Why would I tell him that ? Im sure hell have protection put in place A storm of emotions form in his eyes , and in the blink of an eye , I find myself pressed against at the wall .
Tell him .
Alyssa .
Or fill tell him about us .
Heat surges in my chest at his threat , my hands curling into fists .
Good .
Tell him that all three times you fucking initiated it , I spit out , my voice trembling with anger .
How dare this asshole try to blackmail me again ! He tilts his head , his eyes raging with intensity .
And what about Niko Im sure your brother will be interested to hear that you let him fuck you with a whiskey bottle .
I recail at his words , shame Gooding my checks .
Why are you doing this ? I whisper , feeling small and helpless under his imposing figure .
My mind wharls , trying to understand his twisted logic .
I watch his throat bob as he swallows , and its hotter than it has any right to be .
No.
Stop .
Nothing should be hot about him right now .
You and Zuri will be safer here .
Gray wont be able to protect you the way I can he says between clenched teeth .
And blackmailing me to get what you want is the answer ? I ask , shoving against his chest , but he doesnt budge .
Instead , he grasps my chin in his 2:41 PM Chapter 25 calloused hand , forcing me to look at him .
His eyes soften slightly .
Stay here just until isaar is dealt with .
Then you are free to go anywhere you want .
My heart races .
Does he know that I planned on leaving after I went to Grays ? No , maybe he just means in general .
How could he know ? I havent told anyone Why do you w Want me here so u badly ? I ask , my i one sharp .
So you can use me until you get tired of keepang me around as your little toy !? His eyes flicker clown to my lips , the tension between us growing stronger .
Is he going to kiss me I hope not because my vagina haset exactly been on my side lately .
You dont like when I play with you , kiten ? Because it sure the fuck didnt sound like in last night That wasuh different .
I trail off , grappling for words .
Hon ? He waits patiently , his inverse anther gaze locking onto mine , sending my heart into a frengs I growl , jurting my chin defuntly .
Its not like you gave me a fucking choice His expression turns arrogant , and I already have a sense of whatever dumb shit hes about to say .
And when you asked me to fuck you ! What was Stupidity .
Weakness .
Depravity .
Im sure all of those words explain it .
When I dont answer , his smirk deepens .
Come with me .
The boys and I put something together before they left to go meet Gray at the airport , Id have liked so go with them , but maybe its best that Gray meets Zuri at the house .
I dont want hun yelling at me in the middle of the airport .
King lendi me back upstairs , and I notice a door ajar that I havent been in yet .
I never really cared to look in it , but now that its open .
Im curious .
He leans against the doorframe , gesturing for me to enter , י My jaw drops as I take in the sight before me , theyve set up everything King bought for Zuri yesterday a white crib with pink bedding in the corner , pink curtains , paintings of baby animals on the wall , a rocking chair , and a colorful toy box filled with toys .
What the hell is going on ! They all did this for Zurit For met I blink away the rears forming in the corners of my eyes , unable to wrap my mind around any of this .
They literally tormented me in high school and now king wants me to live with him .
And then they stayed up last night and decorated this room for my daughter .
I know Mason just does what hes told , but what about King and Niko ? I relieve in believe this is just about sex , they could get that anywhere .
So , why am 1 so special ? What else do they get out of the ! What do you think ? Kangasks when it takes me soo long to react .
I tum to him , finding his expression guarded , like hes afraid of the answer I bite my lip .
Um , its beautiful , I answer honestly .
It just looks mare permanent than its supposed to King flashes me a condescending smile .
The what moving ( marks are for , kitten Okay , smartass , I murmur , rolling my eyes , As soon as the words leave my mouth , his hand shoots out wrapping around the front of my throat and pressing me against the wall of what supposed to be Zuris room .
My breath catches , and I gaze up at him , wide eyed .
His thumb brushes along my bottom lip , and I swallow hard , the movement sending a surge of lust jolting through me .
Careful , kitten .
Ill try to be nice to you while youre here , but that means you have to behave like a good girl And what are you going to do if Im not ? I challenge , my hear rate skyrocketing Last night was just a little sample of what can do , he whispers in my car .
Disrespect me like that again and Ill tie you up and tease you until youre dripping all over my bed , and then Ill just leave you like that ? I blink rapidly as y as his words sink in .
Holy shit .
Why do I want that to happen ! I shouldnt .
If Im going to let him blackmail me into this , we need to have some sort of boundaries .
He cant just hold all the fucking cards in his hand all the time .
The sound of Zuris shrill cry snaps me out of my thoughts .
I was wondering when she would wake up , he says , stepping away and allowing me to breathe some air that isnt tainted with his scent .
His demeanor shifts , turning softer as he glances towards the door of the guest bedroom .
Both of you need to get dressed and ready for breakfast .
They should be here soon .
With that , he disappears downstairs , leaving me to rush and get Zuri , my head still spinning from our conversation .
