STELLA

I sit in the cramped airplane seat, staring out the window at nothing in particular. The flight back to our home country feels like being stuffed in a casket and tossed over the ocean. Zane sits right by me, his knuckles white against the cover of a book.

He’s trying to act nonchalant. To hide the protective energy radiating off him. I’m not falling for it. Beside him, Kiki glares at me spitefully. Her gaze is frozen on the side of my face. I ignore them both, spending hours watching the sun fade into a bruised sunset.

I deliberately left Sandy and Jamie in the dark about my arrival. I shouldn't expect a welcome party. They can barely keep up with tasks as it is.

Still, I imagine the smell of Jamie’s pasta. The sound of Sandy’s high-pitched laughter as I walk through the front door. I need a reminder. Stella was never a simp. A billionaire with red eyes wasn't going to change that.

"We’re here,", Zane says in a low tone, snapping me out of my void of thoughts.

    STELLAI stumble into the house at 3:00 AM. It’s dark and silence is eerie as expected of dawn. I wouldn’t expect active movement so early in the morning.I can’t quite put my finger on it but it is both comforting and unnerving. My head throbs and my blood is heated, being under the influence of alcohol. But the fire in my gut? That’s stone-cold sober.I don’t wait for the sun. I don’t ask for permission. I just clutch that manila envelope, wobbling further into the house. Why does the truth always feel like it's trying to snap your wrist?I march straight for the master bedroom. No breathing. Just motion. As I throw the door open, the wood cracks against the wall.I expected to find Jamie alone. Maybe nursing a drop of guilt. But no. Life doesn't work like that. I find the final nail in the coffin instead.They’re right there. In our bed.The sheets I picked out. The pillows where I whispered all those pathetic dreams. Sandy is tangled up in Jamie’s arms, their skin slick with swe

    STELLA The morning sun burns against my eyelids, but sleep remains farther away from me. I had spent the entire night tracing the cracks in the ceiling, listening to the echo of Luca’s voice. A distraction is what he calls me. That was all I was to him. I couldn’t help but notice how he hadn't even blinked when he tore my world apart. My skin still hums from the heat of our last kiss, but his words now act like ice, freezing any warmth left in my chest. I move through the bedroom, slumped and exhausted to even exist. My feet feel heavy, dragging across the plush carpet as I pull my suitcase from the closet. I reach for a floral dress, the one I wore on one of those nights he actually looked at me. A sharp pain tugs at my heart and immediately, tears are drawn into my eyes. But I won’t let the tears fall. It’ll only prove Luca right. I simply fold the fabric, smooth out the wrinkles, and tuck it away. With every shirt and skirt I tuck away, a memory of a man who no longer

    LUCA I stand over the man, my shadow swallowing his broken form as sirens wail in the distance. I have already arranged the files. Every document and digital trail points directly to this "shifty-eyed worm" as the sole architect of the fraud. He shakes on the floor, making wet, gurgling sounds. I look down at my red knuckles and feel nothing but a cold, empty hole where my divinity used to be. "Luca, stop! You’re going to kill him!", Stella’s small voice cracks with fear. I turn slowly, my eyes burning with a rage I couldn’t even understand. I want to tell her that this man is nothing. I want to tell her that I have already agreed to a much worse death. I want to tell her she has no idea how much I hate what I’m about to do to her. But her fragile self needn’t know that yet. "He's still breathing,", I snap, wiping the blood onto my slacks. "Be grateful for that." When the police burst through the door, I grab her arm. It isn't gentle. I can feel that damn terrifying fragi

  • 365 Days Of Pleasure: Please Me!   Bloody Consequences

    LUCA The rhythmic thumping beneath my ribs feels like an insult to my very existence. The Devil? With a heart? I snickered half heartedly, disbelievingly. Every beat is a countdown, reminding me that the divine ichor in my veins is thinning into something as common and as fragile as water. I am rotting from the inside. I am becoming a creature of seasons and expiration dates. I know Stella, her eyes glued on my slumped form, could feel frustration radiating off my skin. The air tenses. “My people think I’ve abandoned them,”, I say, the words feeling like shards of glass in my throat. They say I’ve traded my throne for a silk robe and a mortal’s breath.” “My court is in shambles because I am here, playing at domesticity.” I don’t look at Stella. I can’t. If I do, I’ll see the light in her eyes. I’ll see the very thing that is acting as a parasite on my divinity. “But they have no idea that the punishment is heavier. I know it too, no matter how much I pretend to not care.”

  • 365 Days Of Pleasure: Please Me!   Little Brawls

    Stella lays awake just as the first weak light of dawn bleeds through the curtains. Stella stretches, feeling an unfamiliar mix of deep physical satisfaction. She stares at the pile of clothes on the floor, brushing through her messy hair with her fingers. A sudden realization crushes her. Then comes the dread. She needs an after pill. But she hasn’t packed any. I mean, who prepares for sex when everything is already a mess? She quietly slips out of Luca’s warm embrace and pulls out a thick terry-cloth robe from Zane’s wardrobe. She steals a glance at Luca, finding him deep in sleep. It’s the first time she’s seen him fall asleep like everyone else. She pads across the living room floor, ignoring Luca’s soft expression as he sleeps. She makes her quiet exit, and assumes the door next to Zane’s must be Kiki’s bedroom. Pausing, she takes calming breath before knocking softly on the closed door. Zane yanks the door open, his eyes were bloodshot and ringed with dark shadows. His h
