Ash Stormの小説

Marina’s POVI pulled off my clothes and kept my eyes locked on Vale’s as I undressed.“Good girl,” he said. “Now get on your hands and knees.”“Yes, sir,” I replied.“Follow me.”He led me through the halls and back to his office. There, he sat in his chair behind his desk.“I want you to kneel between my legs with your legs open. I want the lips of your pussy spread.”I followed his orders. My lips parted wide, and I felt the cool air touch the wet space between them.“Now stay until I tell you to move.”“Yes, sir.”I stayed perfectly still and waited for his next words. It felt so good to obey him like that.Over the next three hours, he handled several business meetings and calls. He never acknowledged me or drew attention to me. But everyone who entered the room could see I was his submissive, his favorite.When half the day had passed, he finally reached down and pulled me close. He held me so we could both relax.“Do you want your reward?”“Yes, sir.”“What do you want? Pain or

Marina’s POVI rushed across the room and grabbed Adrian's arm just before he could open the door. My heart raced with worry for Lucian, who stood there looking so vulnerable. 'Wait,' I said, my voice firm but pleading. 'Let me take him.'Adrian turned to me, his broad shoulders tense under his suit jacket. The club's dim lights cast shadows on his stern face. 'As your bodyguard, I don't like you being alone with him,' he replied, his tone protective and unyielding.I nodded quickly, not wanting to argue. 'Fine, you can come with us then.'From the corner, Vale's voice cut in, sharp and commanding. 'No, Marina. You stay.'I ignored him for a moment and pulled Adrian aside, leaving Lucian standing alone by the door. He looked like a lost puppy, his eyes wide with fear, hands fidgeting at his sides. The room felt smaller, the air thick with tension from the music thumping outside.'He's obviously scared,' I whispered to Adrian, glancing back at Lucian.Adrian crossed his arms, his jaw s

Marina’s POVI saw Lucian standing right in the middle of the velvet and warm lights of the club floor like he thought he was the hero in someone’s story. The sight of him there made me laugh before I could stop myself. He really believed I was here against my will.But this place was my home. I would not have chosen anywhere else.“Did you hear me, Marina?” he said. “I’m going to rescue you.”I looked at him carefully. His voice sounded sincere. Too sincere.“Rescue me, Lucian,” I said before I could think.Before he could answer, Vale stepped into the space beside me like he had always been there. His presence shifted the air.“Quiet, Marina,” he said. “This is my home. Our home.”I felt Adrian arrive before I saw him. Then he came into view at the bar, calm as always. He placed a gentle, steady hand on Lucian’s arm. Not threatening. Just firm.“Relax,” Adrian said. “I’m here to make sure no one gets hurt. Unless they want to be.”Lucian’s jaw tightened.Vale’s expression cooled. “L

Marina’s POVVale’s mouth curved slightly, but his eyes were cool. “Interesting. But I don’t see it.”Adrian leaned against the desk with a faint smirk. “No one here likes her. A spy usually does better when they’re liked but stay invisible.”“Not to mention,” Vale added, “Yasmin is the type to start drama, not watch from the sidelines.”My fingers tightened on my pen until my knuckles went white. “So someone like Adrian then. Everyone likes him. Yet he just watches from the sidelines.”Adrian’s head snapped toward me. His expression flickered between shock and anger. “Have you forgotten that I saved your life yesterday?” he said quietly. “And Vale’s?”“Maybe the whole thing was a setup to cement your loyalty to us,” I said, my voice low.He was standing over me in a flash, his frame blocking out the light. The heat of his body reached me before his voice did.“You’re not so easy to intimidate,” he murmured, his lips close to mine.I met his eyes and forced myself to hold steady even

Marina’s POVVale might have been the owner of Velour, but it was Talia who made sure we survived nights like last night. She had been running security for years, and I depended on her more than anyone. If I was the one who kept the machine running, Talia was the shield that protected it.She opened her laptop and said, “We have a spy.”The words cut sharper than her tone. My breath caught. “Do you know who?”“Not yet. But there’s no way the attack on the party was a coincidence. Only the employees knew the celebration was for Vale, and no one outside our walls could have staged it so perfectly unless they had inside help.”“So…” My throat went dry. “It had to be one of our people.”Her silence was confirmation enough.I thought immediately of Adrian, Vale’s right hand. He had worked for Victor once, everyone knew that, but surely Talia would have flagged him by now if she thought he was a threat. Still, the thought lodged itself in the back of my mind, a thorn I couldn’t ignore.“I w

Marina’s POVThe cool night air hit my skin as we stepped outside. The waiting limo gleamed in the shadows, its black paint catching the streetlights. Adrian opened the door and guided me in, his movements as precise as always.The leather seats swallowed me whole as I sank into them, the silence pressing close around me.Adrian closed the door behind me, then circled to the front. He slid in beside the driver without another word, his profile unreadable.The leather interior of the limo wrapped around me like a cocoon, though it did nothing to quiet the storm inside my chest. Before I could gather myself, Vale reached for me, cupping my face in his gloved hands. The soft black leather pressed against my skin, a familiar comfort and a wall he always placed between us.“I was so worried about you,” he said, his voice low, almost tender. “For a moment, I thought I would never see you again. After all the work you put into my birthday, it’s a shame it had to be ruined by Victor’s petty r
