LOGINThis is an extended version of Cade and Lily's story from chapter 20ish....just as y'all had requested.
"And if you lose him anyway?"He looked at me then, really looked at me. "Then I lose him. But I'm not ready to think about that yet."I wrapped both hands around my mug and looked out the window. The city was grey and quiet and beautiful in that bleak winter way."I'm not asking you to define this," I said carefully. "I'm not asking for labels or timelines. I just need to know that when I drive away today, this doesn't—" I stopped. Started again. "I need to know I'm coming back.""You're coming back." No hesitation."And you'll still want me to?"He made a sound low in his throat and set his mug down, and then his hand was cupping my face and he was turning me toward him. His eyes were serious and dark and completely steady."Lily. I spent fifteen years being careful. Doing the right thing. Keeping every line exactly where it was supposed to be." His thumb traced my cheekbone. "And then you walked into that kitchen and looked at me like that, and I crossed every single line I had. Yo
Cade and LilyI woke up slowly.Not the jarring, disoriented kind of waking that happened in my dorm room when my alarm dragged me out of sleep at seven AM. This was different — gradual and soft, like surfacing from warm water. The kind of waking that happens when your body feels safe enough to take its time.For a moment I just lay there, blinking at the ceiling, cataloguing sensations before my brain fully caught up. The sheets were soft and smelled like him — clean, faintly woodsy, something underneath that was just *Cade.* The arm around my waist was heavy and warm. The light coming through the tall industrial windows was pale and grey, the particular quality of winter morning light that made everything look like a photograph.His apartment.Sunday.I had to leave today.The thought arrived like a stone dropping into still water, and I felt the ripples of it move through my chest before I could stop them. I made myself breathe through it. Made myself focus on right now instead of t
And he does.We make love—not fuck, make love—slow and sweet and perfect. Like we have all the time in the world. Because we do.No more sneaking around. No more hiding. No more shame.Just us.After, we lie tangled together in the dark, and I think about how we got here.About the first session when I decided I was going to seduce him. About the weeks of pushing and testing and manipulating. About the moment he finally broke. About losing everything and finding each other anyway.It's fucked up. I know that.We're fucked up. The age gap. The therapist-patient history. The scandal.But we're also happy.And maybe that's enough."Sloane?" Ethan says quietly."Yeah?""I love you.""I love you too.""Even though I ruined your relationship with your parents?""You didn't ruin it. They did. And I choose you anyway.""Even though I lost my career?""You're building a new one. And I'm proud of you.""Even though everyone thinks I'm a predator and you're a victim?""Fuck everyone." I kiss his
"Yes. God, yes.""Then stop trying to protect me from myself and just... be with me. Really be with me. Not sneaking around. Not hiding. Just us."He stares at me for a long moment.And I can see the exact moment he makes the decision.The moment he stops fighting."Fuck it," he says."Yeah?""Yeah. Fuck it. Fuck ethics. Fuck rules. Fuck everyone who thinks this is wrong." He kisses me hard. "I choose you too."Joy and relief and love surge through me all at once."Really?""Really." He kisses me again. "I'm probably going to regret this. You're probably going to realize I'm too old and boring and—"I cut him off with a kiss. "Shut up."He laughs. "Okay.""Take me home," I say. "Your home. I want to spend the night. I want to wake up with you. I want all of it.""What about your parents?""I'm an adult. I'll tell them I'm staying at a friend's.""Sloane—""Ethan." I look him in the eye. "If we're doing this, we're really doing this. No more hiding. No more being ashamed. I'm with you.
"I've wanted to do this since session three," he says, kissing down my neck. "When you described your fantasy. About being bent over my desk.""Do it," I beg. "Please. Fuck me on your desk like you wanted to."He groans, flipping me over so I'm face-down on the cool wood. His hands pull my hips back, positioning me."You're sure?" he asks."I've never been more sure of anything."I feel him line up, feel the head of his cock pressing against me.Then he pushes inside in one hard thrust.We both cry out.He doesn't go slow. Doesn't ease into it. Just fucks me hard and fast against his desk, his hands gripping my hips so tight it's going to leave bruises."Fuck," he groans. "I missed this. Missed you. Missed being inside you.""I missed you too," I gasp. "So much. Every day. I couldn't stop thinking about you—""I couldn't stop either." His hand slides around to find my clit. "Drove myself crazy thinking about you. About this."The dual sensation—his cock inside me, his fingers on my cl
"No." He crosses to me in three strides, grabs my shoulders. "Don't you dare. I made the choice. I'm an adult. I'm the professional. I knew the consequences and I did it anyway. This is on me.""But if I hadn't—""If you hadn't what? Been you? Been beautiful and smart and completely impossible to resist?" His grip tightens. "I wanted you from the first session, Sloane. Before you ever tried to seduce me. Before you ever crossed a line. I wanted you, and I should've referred you to someone else the moment I realized it. But I didn't. Because I'm selfish. Because I wanted to keep seeing you. So don't you dare take the blame for my failures."Tears are streaming down my face now. "What are you going to do?""I don't know." He lets go of me, steps back. "I have to close the practice. Find a new career. Start over. Again.""I could testify," I say desperately. "Tell them it was consensual. That I pursued you—"He laughs bitterly. "That makes it worse. You were my patient. Consent doesn't m
Lily's POVI'm nineteen years old and still a virgin, and I'm so fucking tired of it.Not because I feel like I'm missing out on some magical experience, or because I'm embarrassed, or because of social pressure. I'm tired of it because every guy I've been with at college has been a complete disapp
"Tell me what you want to do to me," I whispered, my hand working him from base to tip. "Tell me your fantasies. The things you've thought about late at night when Mom's asleep beside you."His eyes snapped open, blazing with desire. "You really want to know?""Every filthy detail."He grabbed my h
He stood abruptly, taking me with him, and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He carried me out of his office and down the hallway toward the kitchen, his mouth attacking my neck with bites hard enough to leave marks."Someone might see—" I started."No one's home," he cut me off, setting me down
Mia's POVI thought once would be enough.That scratching the itch would make the craving go away, that finally knowing what Rick's cock felt like inside me would satisfy whatever sick twisted need had been consuming me.I was so fucking wrong.If anything, having Daddy inside me just made me hungr
