Eve's Temptation: Bound By His Obsession

Eve's Temptation: Bound By His Obsession

18+ Mature Content: This story contains explicit sexual scenes, BDSM dynamics, and dark romance themes. Readers’ discretion is advised. 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: 046: Flowers
-Eve-God, I hated Mondays. I reminded myself as I walked to the elevator in boots that squeezed my feet.“Hey, Eve!” I heard a familiar voice behind me. I turned to see Ana, waving and smiling at me.When did we even become friends?“Hey, Ana.” I said, forcing a smile once she ran up to me.She held onto my shoulder, breathing like I had forced her to run.“Don’t mind me,” she waved her hand dismissively, “just catching my breath.”When she finally straightened, she smiled in my face. I walked on, and she followed.“Soo, how was your weekend?” She grinned.“Great.” I nodded. Curt. Flat.“And the launch—oh, I’m sorry about what happened with those witches from Accounting. Periods can be the worst sometimes.” She blabbed.I let out a small sigh. I wish she’d just shut up.She didn’t.“I have a random question. Are you having an affair with Mr. Kingston?” My heart skipped, “because if you are…I won’t say anything.” She grinned.I turned to her, keeping my expression neutral. “Where did

Chapter: 045: Crash Out
-Grace-What the fuck?! What the actual fuck?!My mind screamed at me as I barely made it into the bathroom without tripping over my heels. I could feel the weight of his eyes still burning into my back even after the door swung shut.I gripped the edge of the sink.Hard.My reflection stared back at me—wide eyes, flushed cheeks, lips trembling just enough to give me away if anyone looked too closely. Anyone like him.Shit.He knew.No… no, he couldn’t know. He was bluffing. He had to be bluffing. Pushing. Testing. Watching for cracks.And I had almost handed him the entire fucking confession on a silver platter.I turned on the faucet with shaking hands, letting cold water rush over my fingers. The chill did nothing to calm the heat crawling up my spine.I know you followed Siena to the bathroom. I know you did that to her, Grace. His voice echoed in my head.My stomach twisted violently.It wasn’t an accusation. It was certainty. “No… no, no, no…” I whispered under my breath, gripp

Chapter: 044: Interrogations
-Dominic-The loud banging in my head woke me up—no, not my head.It was the door.Fuck, I shouldn’t have drank so much. Someone—maybe more than one person, was pounding on it, stabbing the doorbell like they were trying to break it.I let out a small sigh as I got on my feet, dragging my way across my bedroom to the entrance door.I checked the door cam and two figures filled the frame. A man and a womanWho the hell were they and what the hell where they doing at my condo? Either way, I opened the door before realizing the only thing I had on were my boxers.They glanced down my form, then at my face like they had a lot to say.I’d admit, it wasn’t one of my best moments. The last thing I remember was crashing out after I called Seb.“Good day, Mr. Kingston. I apologize for the rude awakening,” he smirked. “I’m Detective Harris, and this is my partner, Detective Lee.”He said as they both held up their badges.Detectives, huh?“To what do I owe this… wake‑up call?” I asked, resting

Chapter: 043: A Ghost From The Past
-Alex-“Do you already have something planned out?” She asked, gently freeing herself from my grip.I blinked, blankly.Her eyes rimmed, tears disappearing into the corners like they’d never been.God, she was beautiful.“Um…not quite, any ideas?” I quietly admitted.I didn’t have a plan when I blurted those words earlier. I just wanted to make her feel a little better, and thankfully it worked.“Tell me,” I leaned in. “What’s your ideal first date?”A smile tugged her lips, “It’d be a range of things.”Indecisive. Cute.“A walk or a ride?” I asked, walking up to my car,“I’d start with a ride.” She said as I opened the passenger’s door for her, “Somewhere we can talk…or not talk, if we feel like it.”I grinned, and got into the car.I kept one hand on the wheel, sneaking glances at her like it was the first time she’d been in here.She was quiet at first, fingers tapping the seat, drumming to the rhythm of the music, eyes tracking every passing car.Even like this, she was mesmerizin

Chapter: 042: Closed Chapter
-Eve-I turned in the direction of the voice and froze in my seat.It was a kid. A boy.He was around eight or nine. Brown hair, brown eyes. The spitting image of my father.Before I could answer, the door opened and my father appeared in the doorway.“I asked you to stop wandering,” he said to the boy, gesturing for the secretary. “Take him for a walk.” Then, turning to me, he motioned inside, his expression unreadable.I followed behind him, eyes darting across the space.The office had been expanded and redecorated in white and beige, fitted with a small parlor set of leather chairs in front of the desk—fit for a partner.I wanted to congratulate him, but I couldn’t. To do so would make me a hypocrite. I wasn’t happy. Not in the least.He sank into one of the chairs, and I slid into the one across from him.“What can I offer you, Eve?” His tone was casual. Almost too casual. “Water, whiskey, juice—”“Nothing.” I blurted. I wanted to cut straight to the point.He nodded, as if he ha

Chapter: Choices We Make
41(Official)-Eve-I tossed and curled under the blankets, my eyes fluttering open to the sharp brightness of the morning.A cramp stabbed my lower abdomen before my senses fully registered where I was.It was Saturday and I was in Alex’s apartment. In his bed. Wearing his shirt.Last night came rushing back. Dominic. Him.How we had left immediately. How he saw the stain on my dress and pulled over to a pharmacy, buying everything he could get his hands on, doing it without a word.Every atom of embarrassment had fled out the window the moment I asked him to take me back to his apartment.And, that was how I ended up here.“Good morning, sleepyhead,” he said, stepping in with a tray balanced carefully in his hands.On it, golden-brown waffles, fresh berries, a little drizzle of syrup, and a steaming mug of coffee that smelled like heaven.He placed it on the bed, leaned down, and kissed my forehead.“How did you sleep?” He smiled.My cheeks flushed as I nodded shyly. “Well.”In that

Chapter: Chapter 15
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

Chapter: Chapter 10
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
