ログインThe early morning sun was just beginning to cut through the tall glass panes of the grand foyer, casting long, pale shadows across the hard marble floor. I was still there, right where Cassian had left me. My body was shivering, every muscle aching from remaining in the exact same spot all night, but my mind was completely quiet. I had obeyed him. I had endured the cold and held my desires in check for my master.
Suddenly, the sh
"Get ready," Cassian commanded, his voice cutting cleanly through the warm acoustics of the music room like a crystal blade. "We have only one hour left before the gala begins.""Yes, Master," I replied without a second's delay.I hurried up the grand staircase toward my quarters, my heart drumming a wild, erratic rhythm against my ribs. Moving with urgent efficiency, I pulled out a crisp, pristine white dress shirt from the wardrobe. Standing before the full-length mirror, I adjusted the thick, polished black dog collar around my neck, ensuring it sat snug and tight against my throat. Then, taking painstaking care, I buttoned up the high neck of the white shirt, flipping the collar up and securing every single button until the dark leather band and the deep, violent purple bite marks hidden beneath it was completely veiled from the outside w
The heavy iron gates of Cassian’s private suburban estate swung open like the mouth of a quiet sanctuary, swallowing our limousine into its sprawling, secluded grounds. The ride back had been filled with a suffocating, electrifying quiet a heavy atmosphere where the dark leather collar around my throat felt like a hot, glowing brand, continuously reminding me of the price Cassian had paid for my freedom in that subterranean garage.When the car came to a smooth halt in front of the villa’s grand entrance, Cassian stepped out first, his tall, imposing silhouette framed against the warm exterior lights. I scrambled out right behind him, keeping my chin low, my fingers habitually checking the high fabric of my dress shirt to ensure every bit of my neck was hidden.Instead of guiding me toward his master suite or the lounge, Cassian walked down a long, quiet corridor in the west wing o
The heavy wooden doors of the back office clicked shut behind us, leaving the lingering scent of leather, sweat, and my own suppressed desperation trapped within those four walls. My hips were still burning from the relentless strike of Cassian’s belt, and every step I took felt like a treacherous tightrope walk. The intense, aching pressure low in my gut was a constant, throbbing reminder of his absolute command: Without my explicit command, you are not allowed to cum today.I kept my head bowed, walking half a step behind Cassian as we stepped into the private executive elevator. The polished steel walls of the cabin reflected our contrasting images Cassian standing immaculate, untouchable, and cold in his tailored suit, while I stood as his silent, marked shadow, adjusting my high collar to hide the dark purple bruises blooming over my neck.
The heavy mahogany door of the back office clicked shut, the sound of the deadbolt locking into place echoing through the quiet, soundproofed room like a final sentence.Before I could even take a full breath, Cassian turned around. His eyes were cold, unyielding, and dark with a dangerous intensity. He stepped forward, his long fingers wrapping tightly around both of my shoulders, and slammed me backward against the edge of his executive desk. The hard wood pressed painfully against my lower back as he leaned his massive frame over me, trapping me completely between his arms.My heart hammered wildly against my ribs, my breathing turning shallow and fast as his shadow engulfed me.Cassian leaned down, his face inches from mine, his dark eyes boring into my soul. "How did I teach you at home?" he whispered, his voice dangerousl
The steaming hot water of the shower washed away the physical exhaustion of the night, but it did nothing to soothe the burning heat lingering beneath my skin. Standing before the fogged-up mirror, I buttoned up a crisp, high-collared black dress shirt. I meticulously adjusted the fabric, ensuring every millimeter of the dark leather collar tightly gripping my throat and the deep, purple bite marks beneath it—was completely hidden from the outside world.When I descended the grand marble staircase, Cassian was already seated at the head of the long mahogany dining table in the lounge. Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, highlighting his immaculate profile as he silently cut through his breakfast.I took my seat beside him, keeping my posture rigid and my eyes low. As we ate in silence, Cassian set his silver fork down, the quiet clink echoing softly in the room.
The heavy silence that followed our explosive, violent union was the sweetest noise I had ever experienced in my entire life. For the first time in years, the screaming voices, the blinding paparazzi flashes, and the agonizing panic attacks inside my head were completely silenced.I lay curled up tightly on the expansive mattress, my head resting heavy and warm directly on Cassian’s broad, bare chest. The steady, deep thrum of his heartbeat vibrated against my cheek, serving as a soothing lullaby that anchored my chaotic soul. His large hand remained loosely draped over my hip, his lingering warmth branded into my skin. Wrapped safely inside his powerful arms, surrounded by his scent and marked by his brutal touch, I drifted off into the deepest, most peaceful sleep I had known since childhood.When the pale morning light began to streak through the sheer drapes of the master suite, the
