I exited the hospital and ordered a ride to take me back since I couldn't wait for James.

It was a gorgeous and sunny afternoon my ride was about ten minutes away. So, I decided to settle in the restaurant that was literally around the corner.

Given that I hadn't eaten all day, I ordered a massive burger the moment I sat down. And because of my ride that was on its way, I requested a full meal take-out.

I didn't know if James ' newest staff would whip up to meet my cravings, so I had to get mor

  • BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE)   THE CONFESSION I OWED MYSELF FIRST

    I didn’t go home that night. I left Darius's hotel, but I didn't return home. I drove. No music. No destination. Just Lagos at 2am, empty roads and streetlights making long lines on the windshield. Lagos wasn't known to be quiet, not even at night. But somehow the night was silent. Like it knew I needed the quiet and it was respecting my wish. Darius’ words were still in my head: "I followed instructions. Yours."Instructions I wrote when I was 19 and terrified of my own wanting. Instructions I buried and then dug up and pretended I didn’t recognize.By 4am I was parked outside my house. James’ car was there. His light was on in the study. He was finally back. There was no excitement at the thought of his return. He was probably waiting. Or pretending not to.I sat in the car until the sky turned pale. Then I went inside.He looked up from his laptop. He looked tired. Older. "Where were you?" he asked. There was no anger. Just exhaustion. Like he had finally come to terms with th

  • BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE)   THE NAME I GAVE HIM

    I didn’t answer Jessica when she texted again. I didn’t answer Darius either. After the two workers had left, I sat in the dark until the sun came up and the house filled with that thin, grey light that makes everything look like evidence. I didn't know whether to feel guilty for allowing my body control me, or to appreciate the good fuck that had somehow settled my nerves to an extent. My body still tingled from their touch. My pussy ached sweetly, reminding me of how many times they'd brought me to a good end. That was the best fuck I'd ever had. Maybe because it was with two men, but no one, not even Darius had even made me squirt so much I was practically swimming in my juices. I knew the maids would have a field day while cleaning the dining room. We'd made so much mess, it was impossible for them to not know what had happened there. At 9:12am I did the thing I’d been avoiding. I searched for the name: D_arkVisitor and m_hidden19. They appeared on the same forum. Same year.

  • BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE)   GHOST IN MY DM

    I didn’t sleep again. At 3am I had returned to Jessica's house and was on her couch with my laptop burning my thighs and a blanket I hadn’t touched."Show me," Jessica said, voice low. I hesitated, then turned the screen toward her.The forum was still up. Archived. My username from 4 years ago: m_hidden19 My last post: "What if the only way I feel free is if I’m not the one choosing?"Under it, 2 replies. The first was some troll. But the second was from a D_arkVisitor:"If you ever mean it, I’ll help you mean it. No judgment. No rescue. Just you, deciding."Jessica read it out loud. Then looked at me. "That phrasing," she said quietly. "Doesn't that sound like Darius's?"My stomach dropped at the statement. I clicked his profile, but it was deleted. But the site kept quote-replies. And there, buried under 4 years of threads, was my reply to him."You wouldn’t know how. You don’t know me."Sent: June 3rd, 2:14am. From an IP address I still used. It was from the first home James

  • BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE)   FORGOTTEN DRAFT

    I didn’t sleep. At 6:40am the sky turned grey and I was still sitting on the bathroom floor with my phone, the collar on the counter, and 6 drafts staring back at me.All sent from a burner email I made at 19.miriam.hidden@gmail.comI opened the first one.Date: March 12th, 4 years ago.To:Subject: If you’re serious [redacted]"I don’t want to be asked. I want to be told. Then I want to choose to obey. Can you do that without making me feel small afterwards?"I read it twice. My hands went cold.That was Darius’ exact tone. Low. Certain. No pleading.Second draft."Don’t convince me to stay. If I leave, let me. If I come back, it’s because I decided to."Word for word what he said to me last night.The third draft was worse.A list. Tasks. Boundaries. Safe words. Things I told myself I’d never say out loud. Things I had just lived through with him.I closed the app. I opened it again. Like that would miraculously change the things that were there. Maybe someone hacked me. Maybe it wa

  • BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE)   GREE TO CHOOSE

    The car was still. I hadn't started it, too confused with the thoughts that spiraled in my head. I just sat still, stains of his release still covered my dress. The strap of my gown had slid down to reveal an almost red spot where he'd bit me. My nipples still ached from his mouth. My pussy still throbbed from his size and how good he'd made me feel. But somehow, those feelings weren't enough to settle me. The hotel behind me was still. Everything felt like they were holding their breath. Waiting..My phone screen lit up in my hand."Do you now know why you keep choosing me?"I didn’t answer. Because the question wasn’t about Darius anymore. It was about me. I thought I loved the freedom. I thought I wanted it. But I wasn't so sure anymore. How could I? When freedom was looking like it should?I started the engine. The road was empty at 12:20am. Lagos at night always felt like a secret. Like the city was holding its breath just for you.I drove without music. Just the sound of my bre

  • BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE)   FREE TO BE TRAPPED

    I left earlier after Jessica called, her voice still lingering in my head even after the line went dead. She had dropped the call and then disappeared into whatever life waited for her outside mine.Now, i was in my room, unable to sleep. The house was silent, not calm because my mind wasn't. Not restful. Just… silent in a way that pressed against my ears, like it was asking me questions.I lay on my back, staring at the ceiling, counting the slow rhythm of my breathing. It didn’t help. My mind refused to settle.It kept drifting back to Darius.I shut my eyes briefly, as if that would block him out, but it only made things worse.His voice came clearer in the dark. The way he spoke, low and calculated.I turned sharply onto my side."No," I muttered under my breath.But denial didn’t erase memory. If anything, it sharpened it.The way he watched me. Greedily, hungrily, and.... intently, all at once. Like he was studying something he already understood but wanted to confirm.That loo

  • BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE)   EXPLORE

    I wanted things to work between James and I. I wanted so badly for him to see me as more than just a woman he married, more than just a possession he could bring out, decorate, fuck, and tuck away when he was done. Maybe if he ever looked at me like I mattered, like I had desires too, I wouldn't h

  • BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE)   FIRST PUNISHMENT

    I stared at the text. “Don’t be late.”I knew I didn’t want to find out what my lateness would cost, so I got dressed and left without the driver. I boarded a cab and went there.I was scared and uncertain, but I still went. I got there and walked into the apartment in this lonely off-town place. A

    Scared I was exposed. I got up quickly and hid away the package I got and went to freshen up. I was panicking so bad, thinking: who was this person? Who saw me? I had a lot of questions, and I needed to uncover this secret. Nobody was supposed to find out about my secret.James got back. I kept on

  • BEHIND THE MASK (DARK ROMANCE)   PLEASURE AND GUILT

    I hurriedly got up, but the person had already left. I was wondering who could have seen me. Nobody should ever see me like this. I went to bed and eventually managed to sleep.The next day, I saw Jessica, and I kept looking at her face, hoping to see something. Anything. Who was in the house with
