Eve's Temptation: Bound By His Obsession

Eve's Temptation: Bound By His Obsession

My chest pounded excitedly as I pulled him closer, ignoring the “this is your boss” warning in my head. I tugged at his tie, my fingers itching to undo his buttons. His hands shifted the lacy underwear, his fingers sliding to reach my entrance. When they slid in, I let out a loud gasp. “Shh, Eve. You're not allowed to scream.” Eve Keller has always lived quietly, overlooked, and inexperienced. Her only escape is the voice she obeys in secret: Dom Daddy, the mysterious man whose erotic audios pull desires from her she’s never dared to explore. But on her first day at Kingston Corp, she hears that same commanding voice… from her new boss, Dominic Kingston. Cold. Ruthless. Every word, every glance, pulls her closer to a darkness she’s only dreamed of. When she realizes the voice she secretly worships belongs to him, Eve’s world tips. Dominic sees everything, her secret, her cravings, her limits, and he begins a game of control that is as thrilling as it is dangerous. Stolen touches, whispered commands, forbidden tension. Eve is drawn to him, terrified by him, and utterly captivated. Every time she resists, questions, or defies him, Dominic’s obsession only grows. Add in Alex, her kind and protective colleague, a jealous rival, and a family determined to control everything, and Eve finds herself caught between safety and temptation, desire and power. One wrong choice could unravel her, and yet…every defiance pulls her deeper into a world of obsession, submission, and passion she never imagined.

Chapter: 064: Boating Regatta
-Dominic-“Dominic. Explain to me why the hell Grace Langley just called off your engagement?! Call me!” The voicemail sang.I wasn’t going to call. At least not now.I let out a small sigh, tucking my phone back into my pocket. It was finally Saturday afternoon, and the Kings Corp Annual Boating Regatta had transformed the docks into something between a corporate retreat and a county fair.Mini tents flapped in the breeze. Donation boxes for the company's designated charities sat at every intersection, painted in bright colors that didn't match.“You look unimpressed,” Seb said, coming from behind me.“It’s quite colorful.” I admitted.“I looked into the Accounting team’s designated charites,” Seb began. “Two of the three charities are linked shell companies. Those two charites have received the hightest donations in the last three years. I also have names.” He said handing me a tablet.“Most of these names were involved in my father’s hotel acquistion.” My brows furrowed trying to p

Chapter: 063: Blood and Stranger
-Eve-I got a DM from my post. The one about Rachael.The text came in at 7:14am, but I didn’t see it until now—noon—while trying to drain water out of my ear after humilating myself in front of everyone because of Alex…and Vanessa.“Hi Eve Keller, I’m writing on behalf of Rachael. She saw your post. She’s the one in the photo. She’ll be in NYC from Boston today, Friday. She’d like to meet if you’re free.”Friday. Today.My heart slammed hard against my chest. Water finally flowed out my ears.Yes. I typed. Yes, I’m free. Please tell her.The bubbles appeared immediately. Thank goodness she was online.“She’s here until tonight. Here’s her number.”I copied the digits before my brain could catch up. My thumb hovered. I almost called Sal first. I couldn’t. We hadn’t made up.I was on my own this time to figure what out what to wear, what to say, how to breathe.I thought of what to do. If I delayed any further, I’d have to wait till whenever she was in New York again.I pressed call.O

Chapter: 062: Training Season II
-Dominic-Vanessa and I never cared for these things, but with Alex and Eve involved, she wanted to be there—so much so that she dragged me out of bed yesterday and made me come all the way out here.Today, I was assigned to coach the team leads, which meant proximity to Eve and her blistered hands and her determined refusal to look at me for more than three seconds.I let her avoid me. It was more interesting to watch her try.On Friday afternoon, while I wandered around the marina, I found the accounting team captain and another member behind the equipment shed. There was something off about them. Their voices hummed low, head bent over a phone. I didn't announce myself, I simply stood in the shadow of the building and listened.“Yes sir, we're doing our best out here. Although the marketing team is quite competitive, they're no match for us,” the captain was saying.“Good stuff. Just make sure to do your parts and leave the rest to me,”I knew that voice anywhere. It was Mr Rogers

Chapter: 060: Training Season I
EVEI stood at the edge of a wooden platform, listening to a sunburnt man named Coach Scott explain “boating” to us, the participants.I zoned out, listening to the facilitators orientation instead. And for very specific reasons too. Alex was there.Their group was situated about ten feet away from across us, and Alex wouldn't stop making eye contact with me. It was the only way we could communicate without getting attention.After Ana's discovery the other day, Alex and I had to set up some ground rules to keep our relationship secret.I was just about to steal another glance at him when Coach Scott’s voice cut in, loud and sharp.“Hey, you. Velma with the bun,” he barked at me. “You're team four. You're the captain.”I blinked. “Wait What? Me?”“Captain.” He didn't look up from his clipboard. “New face. Too happy. Captain.”That was it? I was being punished for looking too happy?I didn't realize Ana was by my side until she leaned in and whispered. “Congratulations, our lives are o

Chapter: 059: Person of Interest II
-Eve- I had never been to a police station, not even when Sal nearly got us arrested. She had called me twice already, and once again, I ignored it. I wouldn't be here if she had just kept her big mouth shut. The police station smelled like antiseptic mixed with sweat and distress. I sat on a hard plastic chair, counting ceiling tiles till I lost track and started over. My heart raced faster than it should've. What if they hooked me up to a lie detector? What if I'm arrested? What if— “Put yourself together, Eve.” I blurted out. At the same time, the door opened. Detective Harris entered, holding a folder with an unreadable expression. Behind him, a voice I knew. Raymond. Yes, he stopped being my father the day he told me not to look for Rachael. My heart sank. He walked past me without stopping. Dark suit, briefcase, and that judgemental look on his face. He spoke to Harris in a low tone, too quiet for me to catch. But I saw the folder. The name on the tab. Co

Chapter: 058: A Psycho Wrapped in Pedigree
-Dominic-My lips twitched as I pulled away from Eve's building. I imagined the look on her face when she opened the bag, the conflicted rage too.I let out a dry chuckle, then caught myself. I had to be at the Langley's in an hour, at Mother's stern request. Also, it was time Grace Langley and I had a chat.The dinner table stretched too long for six people. My father sat to my right, my mother to my left, her hand resting on mine beneath the table cloth like a silent warning.Please behave yourself tonight, Dominic.My father was already three drinks in, laughing at something Victor Langley said about market projections.Grace sat across from me. She had dressed carefully tonight, she was the picture of modest elegance, looking up at me occasionally.I didn't spare her a glance, because beneath all that prim poise, I knew what she was. A psycho wrapped in pedigree.Assaulting Siena Coleman wasn't enough, she had gone as far as attempting murder.I had seen something similar on her

As soon as Athena was certain she had escaped Diana’s watchful glare, a soft sigh escaped her lips. She paused on the hallway, her annoyance reignited by the guards trailing closely behind her.For a second, she just wanted her former freedom, but the men wouldn’t budge. Just as she turned to make a warning, Travon appeared from the corner, his expression neutral. “That was a powerful speech, Athena.” He said, his voice soft and calm.“Thank you.” She nodded, unsure of what to do, his scent kept messing with her head. There was a sudden shift in her tone as she turned to him and said, “Please tell your men to stand down, I’ve managed on my own for the past five years, and I can very much survive on my own right now.” With that, she stormed away.Travon quickly gestured for his men to stand down as he watched her in awe as she left.She return to her room, pacing back and forth as her mind thought of the next line of action. “What next?” She thought, she had to admit that Lucy was right

The council door swung open, and Aria and her father stepped inside, dismayed to find they were much too late. The council members were already bowing to Travon and Athena, chanting; "The goddess save the Alpha, The goddess save the Luna." At the same time, Kaius noticed the hurt in Aria's eyes, his inner wolf howled in pain, but he couldn't do anything than look away. "I object!" William's voice suddenly rang throughout the room, causing a collective gasp as all eyes turned to him. "This is against our customs." He continued, his eyes set on Travon, as he walked through the rows of elders. Philppa's subtly gave him a look, begging him to stop, but William looked away, damning the consequences of his action. "Athena has not completed the thirty days ritual and yet, here she is, being reinstated as the Luna." He paused, turning to the elders, "Elders, how can you all blindly agree to this, have we quickly forgotten our customs? How can we simply accept her return like this

Athena stared at Travon’s face, her expression unreadable. Her mind reeled from the fact that she could have been dead if not for his intervention. Slowly, she stepped away from him, despite his heroic save, she still considered him an enemy--he had hurt her badly, and one daring act didn’t erase the pain. Sensing her hesistance, Travon maintained his distance, his face etched with pain. With a small sigh, he told her, “My men will escort you back to your quarters, and keep watch till dawn, while I get to the bottom of this.” Athena slowly nodded, eager to escape his presence. Quietly, she bowed her head to show her gratitude, her eyes avoiding his. Then swiftly, she turned on her heels and walked away with the guards hovering closely around her. Travon’s eyes lingered on her retreating figure, his expression filled with a mixture of regret and sadness. His lips parted as if to call her, but he remained silent, respecting her boundaries. Back at her quarters in her bedroom, Athe

"In two days, Athena will finally attain visitation rights," the pack doctor began, his tone cold and measured. "Our faction is growing restless. We can't just sit idly by, cowering like frightened dogs. We must do something." He paused, his gaze locked on William and Aria. William leaned back in his chair with a calculating glint in his eye. "You've made some valid points, Doc," he said, his voice dripping with condescension. Aria nodded in agreement, her expression smug. "But Aria and I have already discussed this," William continued. "We'll stick with our original plan." The doctor's eyebrows shot up, curiosity etched on his face. "You mean, poisoning?" he asked, his voice laced with skepticism. William smirked. "Yes," he replied coolly, as if he were discussing the weather. The doctor scoffed, his expression surprised. "Have you forgotten she's currently under tight security?" he asked, his voice rising. William's smile was icy. "That's exactly why it's the perfect plan,"

Travon's room was thick with tension as Kaius paced, his eyes narrowed in concern. "What exactly were you thinking?" he asked, his voice laced with frustration. Travon sighed, rubbing his temples. "I wasn't thinking, Kaius. I just couldn't resist the mate bond. You wouldn't understand since you haven't experienced it." His eyes dropped. Kaius scoffed, "Trust me, brother, I understand much more deeply than you can imagine." A hint of pain flickered in his eyes, but he quickly masked it. Travon's gaze snapped up, curiosity sparking. "What do you mean?" Kaius waved his hand dismissively. "Later. For now, what's your plan?" Travon's jaw clenched. "We wait. The elders say Athena earns visitation rights after seven days. In the meantime, put a trusted maid to watch and report back to you. I don't trust those stuck-up elders." His lip curled in disgust. "And Aria? What about her?" Kaius asked, his tone concerned. Travon shifted uncomfortably. "I've never seen Aria as anythi

Travon sat in the meeting room, surrounded with his mother and the elders, making deliberations on how to handle Athena’s return. However, his mind wandered, clouded with thoughts of Athena. It had been two days since she interrupted his marriage ceremony, but he couldn’t shake off her scent, which had seemingly imprinted itself on his mind. He was growing restless, wanting to see her, wanting answers to his numerous questions, wanting to know how and why. Without another thought, he slammed his hands against the table, sending a wave of silence across the room. He stood up, his eyes fixed on the door, and stormed out. The Sacred Quarters, situated on the estate grounds, served as both a confinement zone and a purification quarters. Travon took hasty strides, his men hurrying behind him, until they reached the quarters, heavily guarded by Epsilons and female elders who catered to Athena's needs around the clock. The elders quickly reinforced their guard by standing in front of the
