Sophia Bennett

“Ah, fuck, Mark, yes, I love this, you're so big—”

The words shattered something inside me. A strangled gasp escaped my lips before I could stop it.

Tears streamed silently down my cheeks. For several seconds, neither of them noticed me standing there.

I wished I could move. I wished I could run, but my feet felt rooted to the floor. My eyes remained fixed on Ethan. Five years, Five years together, Five years of believing he loved me. And now I was watching him look happier than I had ever seen him.

My chest tightened painfully.

The man lying beside him laughed softly. "You've got to be kidding me, Ethan."

My voice came out as nothing more than a broken whisper, The room fell silent. Both men turned toward me.

I waited for shock, or panic, or guilt. Instead, neither of them looked surprised.

Ethan simply stared at me.

The other man sighed.

"See?" he said, looking at Ethan. "I told you she would react exactly like this."

The words hit me harder than a punch. "You knew?" I asked.

Neither answered immediately. My hands trembled.

"You knew I would find out?"

Ethan rubbed his forehead.

"Sophia—"

"Don't say my name!"

My voice cracked.

The other man stood from the bed and reached for his shirt.

"Ethan, maybe I should go."

"No."

Ethan immediately grabbed his arm. The simple gesture shattered another piece of my heart. He was comforting him. Protecting him. While I was standing there falling apart.

I laughed bitterly. "You can't be serious."

"Sophia, calm down."

"Calm down?" I stared at him in disbelief. "I caught my fiancé cheating five days before our wedding and you want me to calm down?"

The other man shifted uncomfortably. "I'm sorry," he said quietly.

Something inside me snapped. I marched toward him. Before I could reach him, Ethan stepped directly between us.

"Move."

"No."

"Move, Ethan."

"No."

My hands clenched into fists.

"He knew!"

"He isn't the problem."

I stared at him. For a moment, I wondered if I had heard him correctly.

Then the other man spoke again.

"Ethan, just tell her."

The room became eerily quiet. Tell me what? I looked from one man to the other. A horrible feeling settled in my stomach.

Ethan avoided my eyes. That was when I knew. There was something I didn't know yet.

"What are you talking about?" I demanded.

Nobody answered.

"What are you talking about?"

Finally, Ethan exhaled. "The wedding was never about love."

My heart stopped. "What?"

His jaw tightened. "The marriage was necessary."

Necessary?

The word echoed through my mind. Not wanted. Not dreamed of, Necessary. "What does that mean?"

Ethan looked away.

"Our families needed it."

I felt sick. "You proposed because of your family?"

Silence.

The answer was written all over his face. Every memory flashed through my head. The proposal, The promises, The future we had planned, All lies.

"You never loved me?"

The question came out barely audible.

Ethan remained silent, that silence was answer enough. A sob escaped my throat.

The other man looked genuinely uncomfortable now.

For the first time, I hated both of them. I lunged toward him again.

Ethan blocked me a second time. "Stop it!"

"Get out of my way!"

"No."

"Why are you protecting him?"

"Because I love him!"

The words exploded from Ethan's mouth. The room froze, Nobody moved, Nobody breathed, I stared at him, And just like that, every last illusion died.

He loved him, Not me, Never me, Rage surged through my body, I raised my hand.

But before I could do anything—

SLAP!

The force of the blow snapped my head to the side, The room went completely silent. A sharp pain burned across my cheek.

Slowly, I turned back toward Ethan. His hand was still raised. His eyes widened slightly, as if even he couldn't believe what he had just done.

A drop of blood touched the corner of my lip.

Then Ethan whispered five words that made my blood run cold.

"You should never have come.”

  • After Midnight With Him    Chapter Nine: Ten Million Dollars

    Sophia BennettMy face burned as if I’d been slapped, the heat spreading down my neck and across my entire body until even my fingertips felt scorched. Embarrassment choked me like a too-tight collar, making it hard to draw a full breath. I sat on the edge of the massive bed, the sheet clutched desperately to my chest, wishing the floor would open up and swallow me whole. God, I hated this. I hated the sticky evidence of last night clinging to my skin, hated the faint ache between my thighs that served as a humiliating reminder, and most of all, hated the polished stranger standing a respectful distance away, envelope in hand, watching me with careful, professional detachment.“Name your price,” he said again, his voice smooth and unwavering.I stared at him, anger cutting through the shame like a knife. “Do I look like a sex worker to you?” The words flew out sharper than I intended, laced with disbelief and rising fury. My voice cracked slightly on the last syllable, betraying how c

  • After Midnight With Him    Chapter Eight: You Fucking Asshole

    Sophia BennettThe morning sunlight sliced through the room like an unwelcome intruder, painting everything in harsh golds and forcing me to squint against its glare. I let out a heavy sigh, rolling over in the unfamiliar bed, my body heavy with the remnants of sleep and something far more unsettling. “Babe, close the curtains, Ethan,” I mumbled, my voice thick and groggy. “Ethan?”No answer. Just the soft hum of air conditioning and the distant murmur of city life far below.“Are you done with your dream? Are you awake now?” The voice was deep, calm, and completely wrong. Not Ethan’s.My eyes snapped open. I turned slowly, and the world tilted on its axis. A man stood by the tall window, silhouetted against the bright morning light. He was tall, broad-shouldered, with dark hair tousled just enough to look effortlessly perfect. His features were sharp—strong jaw, piercing eyes, the kind of face that belonged in magazines or on billboards, not in whatever fevered hallucination this was

  • After Midnight With Him    Chapter Seven: Are You a Virgin

    Sophia BennettI froze the moment the words left his mouth. The heat that had been consuming me, the desperate ache between my legs, everything stuttered to a halt as Damien’s low, commanding voice cut through the haze.“Are you a virgin?”The question hung in the air like a challenge. My heart slammed against my ribs. I lay there beneath him, breasts still exposed from where he’d yanked my bra down, my panties somewhere on the floor, my body slick and trembling with need. He was watching me too closely, those dark eyes searching my face as if he could peel back every secret I’d ever kept.He asked again, slower this time, his voice rough with restraint. “Are you a virgin, Sophia?”“No,” I whispered, the single word barely audible. Heat rushed to my cheeks. I wasn’t—not technically—but the way he was looking at me made me feel exposed in a way that had nothing to do with being naked.His gaze dropped between my thighs, where his fingers had just been buried deep inside me, stretching

  • After Midnight With Him    Chapter Six: Please, Daddy, Put It In

    Damien BlackwoodI wasn’t the kind of man who acted on impulse. Discipline had built everything I owned—my empire, my reputation, my control. I stuck to my decisions and lived by my rules. One of the most important: I didn’t fuck women without protection. No exceptions. Ever.Yet here I was, standing over the bed with my cock throbbing so hard it bordered on painful. Twenty-three. The number echoed in my skull as I looked down at the woman lying beneath me—Sophia. Seventeen years between us. A gap wide enough to remind me this was reckless, but not wide enough to kill the hunger roaring through my veins. I hadn’t felt this kind of raw, primal need in years. My body was betraying every careful principle I’d built.I placed one knee on the mattress beside her, bracing my hand near her hip without touching her yet. Clarity first. Always clarity.“Do I have your consent?” My voice came out low, rough.She nodded quickly, eyes glassy with want.“Use your words,” I commanded. “Not your head

  • After Midnight With Him    Chapter Five: I Am Going to Suck a Dick

    Sophia BennettThe words echoed in my head like a filthy refrain I couldn’t silence: I am going to suck a dick.I was kneeling on the bed in nothing but the thin tank top that had ridden up my hips, my hands wrapped around a stranger’s waist. My cheek hovered so close to the sharp cut of muscle disappearing beneath the dangerous white towel that I could feel the heat radiating from his skin. In any other circumstance, I would never have done this. No amount of alcohol, no depth of desperation, could have pushed me to my knees like this in real life. Even with Ethan—when he refused to touch me, when he finished in under two minutes and left me aching and unsatisfied—I had never begged. I had simply turned away, swallowed my frustration, and pretended it didn’t matter. I had my pride. I had boundaries.But this wasn’t real life. This was a dream, and my body was screaming for it.My skin felt too tight, my pulse throbbed between my legs, and every breath dragged like fire through my lun

  • After Midnight With Him    Chapter Four: I Was Getting Hard

    Damien BlackwoodI frowned down at the woman lying straight in my bed, wearing nothing but lingerie.Why does it always happen? This is no longer a coincidence.The last time I saw a lady who was half-naked, placing her legs on top of my desk inside my office trying to get my attention, the next one was my business partner in a meeting—her legitimate daughter pulled her leg up to my dock, trying to get my attention also; another one was a girl I saw lying down on my chair.Why are all girls the same? Why do they want to fuck me so badly?I understand where all this is coming from: from my dad—the old man has been forcing each of them to seduce me—but I was not interested in them.Wait, I never said I never had sex. I am still a man. I love sex, so whenever I want to, it’s just like an arrangement: you come at me and you have fun together; I satisfy you in different styles, and you satisfy me with pleasure. But no, child, I was never ready.But it always made my dad angry and caused hi
