But after that night…. After that werewolf had me pinned, Ineededto be untouchable. Unbreakable. Powerful. No weaknesses.
“I’ll do it,” I said, steady and sure.
Ezra’s eyes looked into mine, hesitant, unsure. Did she not think I was strong enough? Like them? Was she doubting me now?
Almost like she could hear my thoughts, she finally nodded, accepting me like the others. “All right, Niya. Let’s make the Syndicate ours. Let’s make ituntouchable.”
I stepped up beside my siblings so all of us stood together.
Even broken, we werestilla unit. We were family. We were the Syndicate.

STALKER
5 YEARS LATER
Don’t touch your dick. Don't touch your dick.
The pixelated screen in front of me didn't do her justice, it never did, but I’d learned to work with what I got. Hands running up and down my jeans, my dick twitched at the sound of her voice through the speakers.
“Darling, I know you’re trying, but it's just not hot.” Her head shook at the trembling blonde in front of her. Those sharp, diamond-studded nails folded in front of her face, balancing her chin on them as she looked the fairy woman up and down. “You’re hot, don't get me wrong…” I begged to differ. No one, not a single soul on this Earth could be more stunning than my star, but this was her area of expertise, so I let it go.
Learning back in her chair, she tilted her head and asked, “What do you like to do? What kind of sex doyoulike?”
The blonde’s eyes looked down while her hands fidgeted in front of her, still not saying anything. My star sighed, getting up from her chair like this wasn't her first time having to do this. My eyes snagged on those gorgeous, delicate wings that settled downher back like a see-through fabric that barely concealed her mouthwatering bare back. My finger lifted like it had a mind of its own, unable to stop myself from touching the screen, wishing with all of my being that I could touch them, caress them, lick them.
“Kylee.” She sat on her desk in front of the fairy, crossing her jewel-studded heels at the ankles and her arms in front of her. “I’m not in the business of keeping people who don’t want to work here.” The blonde's head snapped up, eyes wide, but she continued, “I know that you have your brother to think about, so I can find you some different kind of work?—”
“No. I-I need this job,” this Kylee woman belted, causing my star to close her mouth. A delicious curve appeared at the seam of her lips, and my mind went right to teasing that line with my tongue, getting them to part just for me.
“I-I… I like sex.” When my star's eyebrow lifted, the trembling fairy took a deep breath and continued. “I-I like it w-when they take c-control.” Her eyes shifted, her voice going so soft I had a hard time hearing it, even with the upgraded sound I’d purchased. “B-but I don’t like it t-too hard.”
She kicked out her heel and stood up, gliding toward the fairy woman on those expert dancer legs. “Soooo…” she went around the back of the woman, whispering in her ear over her shoulder, “You need a soft dom, a master who will take care of you, someone who will have you bend to their will for your own good. One who will have youbeggingthem for more.”
Her finger gently touched the curve of the fairy woman’s neck, and the woman's eyes shuttered. Her lips parted just as those diamond-encrusted nails grabbed her chin, turning it to faceher, their lips only an inch away from each other. “I can work with that, darling.”
A cold chill ran down my spine. Hot, rhythmic bursts of air coming in and out of my nose was the only sound on this side of the lens as I glared through the screen. This woman didn’t know how lucky she was to be receiving this treatment from a woman like my star.She doesn’t deserve it. Doesn’t deserve her hand, her attention, her direction.The woman's shoulders relaxed, her body instinctively curling toward my star, and my chest rumbled from the growl I was keeping inside.
Heels clicking along the floor had me snap out of my rage haze. My star was already sitting down at her desk again, typing out something on her computer. “I’ll make a note of this on your file. We’ll take you off the floor and have you on the card for requested services. This way, we can partner you with someone more to your tastes.” She kept typing as she asked, “Do you have a preference between male or female?”
The blonde fairy thought for a second before she shook her head and whispered, “N-no. Just someone n-nice.”
“Nice yet firm. The perfect dom for you.” My star smiled with all her teeth, and the fairy’s lips gave her a hesitant, delicate curve of her own.
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Perfect!” My star clapped her hands, then motioned to the door behind the fairy. “Grab your stuff and move it to the fourth floor prep room. This is where you’ll get ready and wait until your name is called. I’ll let Mr. Tempest know of the change, and he’ll give you your new schedule.” She nodded, backing up until herheel hit the door, turning the knob as she said her thank you’s again and disappeared through the slight opening she’d made.
My star’s head went back against the headrest as she closed her eyes for a second. My eyes glued to her through the screen, I watched every shift her body made, every rise and fall of her chest. I could make a song from just the sounds of her breathing, and I bet it would be a hit, selling out platinum right away… which would just infuriate me because she wasmine, so I cataloged that into the “private only” space in my head.
A beep came from the phone on her desk, causing her to roll her eyes before she pushed a button. “Speak.”
The smooth-as-whiskey voice of her second-in-command rang clear. “This is your twenty-minute reminder.”
Smirking at the phone, she nodded before she responded in a low tone. “Vaannn, you know how you're supposed to do it.” The silence from the other end was loud as her lips rolled inward to hold in her giggles. She leaned closer to the receiver. “Do you remember who you work for?”
