MasukARIELLA The room was still dark, the faintest hint of early morning barely touching the curtains, and for a second I was too lost in the feeling of him even to think properly. By the time he finally pulled back, I was breathing hard, completely flushed, my chest rising and falling rapidly. I tri

ASHER I know she wants me. I know she wanted me to finish what had already started earlier. What was about to happen with me inside her. She is practically aching for it. However, this is not going to happen as I had planned before. With no time to lose, I'm going to take it hard and fast… but I’l
ARIELLA I move fast, shower, dress, steady myself and head downstairs. The moment I reach the last step, William appears as if summoned. “Mrs Romano, good morning.” “Good morning, William.” “I hope you had an amazing night and Welcome. If you don’t mind, the dining room is this way.” “Thank yo

For once, I felt like it was our home. I felt at home. But then, at around three in the morning, while in bed, asleep,
