Admit You’re Mine (House of Velvet #1)

MADDOXI built the House of Velvet to be a sanctuary of control, but the one thing I can’t command is the man guarding my life. Rylen Wilson has been my shadow for thirteen years.

He’s the only person I trust, the only one who truly knows me—and the only one who refuses to see what’s staring him in the face. I’m done with the professional distance.

I’m done being the "loyal friend." I want him on his knees, admitting he’s always belonged to me, even if it burns the House to the ground.

RYLENI don’t just run security for the most exclusive club in LA, I guard the only thing in this world that matters. Thirteen years of survival have led to this, and I’m not going to throw it away for a night of misplaced obsession. Maddox is my anchor; if I let myself touch him, I lose everything. I’m trying to focus on Bry, letting him be the distraction I need to keep the noise in my head quiet.

But it doesn’t matter who else is in my life. Every time I close my eyes, I’m still standing at Maddox’s back, wondering how much longer I can keep from snapping.
