Dark Tangled Truths – CS Berry

It might have been only a kiss, but the fear was there. I know how I felt. And every time he’s close, there’s a buzzing sensation like a warning alarm in my head. “It doesn’t matter what he was able to accomplish when you were younger.” Cam reaches over and takes my hand. “It’s what he hopes to finish now.” “A few threatening texts and a hot rose?” I blow out my breath.

I don’t want to live in fear, but that’s what we’re doing. “It’s like he isn’t even trying.” “It doesn’t hurt for us to be with you, Annie.” Hawk brushes my hair from my face. “We would want to be with you even if you weren’t under threat.” I nod and gesture for him to continue the movie. Even as we watch, I’m still unsettled by the thought we’re preparing for nothing.

That all of this is a huge mindfuck for no reason. We talk about sleeping over at Hawk’s, but knowing Damon’s watching settles me somehow. So we end up back in Damon’s room. “Does being scared turn you on, Annie?” Hawk leans on the headboard in only his boxers.

Cam is on his phone with a guy who might be able to access my mom’s texts. I just finished getting ready for bed. I pause on my way across the floor to consider it. “I like being chased by you and held down. The woods and waiting definitely gets my heart racing.” I shrug and climb onto the bed, crawling up to him in only a t-shirt and panties.

I braided my hair so it would be out of the way. He watches me with hooded eyes and a cocky smile. I don’t stop until I straddle his lap and put my hands around his neck. He toys with the hem of my shirt, but doesn’t do anything to guide me or take me. “You like it when we’re rough with you?” The tips of his fingers skate along the outside of my thighs, sending shivers through me. “Yes.” I meet his green eyes. “Did you prefer it when it was a secret?

A secret from everyone at school and then a secret from your mom? Did that get you off? Knowing they had no clue what you were doing?” Hawk teases the lace on the edge of my panties. My breath catches. “It definitely added a heightened risk to everything we did, but I don’t know if I prefer it. There’s still a risk of us getting caught together. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want you now that everyone knows.” “Not everyone knows yet, goody.” Cam tosses his phone on the nightstand and climbs in next to Hawk.

Honestly, I can’t get enough of seeing my guys’ bodies.

Berry OceanofPDF.com Author Note & Content List Dear Reader, Thank you for choosing Dark Tangled Truths.

First thing, this is a continuation from Whisper Pretty Lies and Brutal Little Secrets. If you really want to be confused, start here. If not, Whisper Pretty Lies and Brutal Little Secrets are also on Kindle Unlimited. This has been a crazy ride. What started out as a duet (what I can write short *eyeroll*) turned into a trilogy.

But I wanted to give this creative little director and her hockey playing men a fleshed out story. It’s kind of sad to say goodbye, but maybe we’ll see them in someone else’s story in the future. A side note: S. Massery let me use her NHL team for my book. If you like dark hockey romance, hers are *chef’s kiss*. This book contains darker themes, which can be found on my website csberry.com/lust-liars under content warnings.

Your mental health is important. If you’re concerned, you can always reach out to me. Evan and her guys will find their happily ever after! XOXOXO C.S. Berry Content warning: Dark themes including bullying, blackmail, chasing scenes, consensual somnophilia, kidnapping, and stalking. It also includes attempted sexual assault.
