I walked with heavy steps into my apartment building and leaned my body against the side of the cool elevator as I rode it up to my floor.
The entire drive home, I was thinking of Isaac and Whitney. I was imagining them throwing handfuls of flour on each other and laughing together. I imagined Isaac grabbing her from behind playfully and picking her up, even tickling her.
I imagined that their stomachs would hurt from laughing so much that they were forced to stop, and then they would go to the shower together to clean off.
Tears rimmed my eyes as I thought about them together. I had only made it worse by actually seeing them together tonight. Now that I had a face to the name, I could imagine it clearer, and I hated that. I shouldn’t have stopped by without texting or calling him first, I wasn’t thinking clearly.
Once the elevator dinged, I took a second before pushing myself

Dominic left my skin tingling everywhere that he touched me, and even some placed that he hadn't. I never would have admitted that I wanted Dominic Knight before, but in my emotional state right now, my body was screaming for him.I knew it was wrong, so I forced words out of me that I thought would make him stop, even though I knew that I would be disappointed if he actually did.“You’re… selfish… conceited… egotistical, and… pompous.”“Keep going,” he whispered as he moved his lips up to my neck and wrapped one arm around my waist, the other on my neck, beginning to walk us back and toward the bedroom.He let his hand slip underneath my tank, making me gasp slightly at the feeling of his warm palm on my bare flesh.The slight facial hair on his jaw was prickly on my neck, but the gentleness of his lips outwei

Dominic continued his slow thrusts and put his right hand on my spine, slowly moving it upwards along the curves of my back and up to my hair.He grabbed the hair of my ponytail and wrapped it around his hand like they were the reins on a horse before tugging. The pain was oddly delicious and I found myself moaning as my head tilted back.He leaned forward and put his body on top of mine, continuing his thrusting.His mouth was right next to my ear as he said, “Tell me what you want, Monster. Harder? Faster? Or slower?” He slowed down even more to show me the fucking torture that speed would be.“Faster.”“Faster….?”I rolled my eyes at him, “Master.”Dominic raised himself with his left hand as his other was still in my hair and picked up the pace like he was making up fo

We went back and forth all night, and he ended up spending the night after we both fell asleep from exhaustion. I didn’t get to shower until I woke up, and Dominic insisted on showering with me. I’m sure you can imagine what happened there.“I’m disgusted with myself,” I mumbled from my side of the bed where I was getting dressed, not thinking Dominic could hear me from the other side of the room.“Well, you can’t blame the wine,” he joked and I glared at him over my shoulder before going back to my shoes.“I was emotional, and you took advantage of the fact.”“I told you that third time’s the charm and all you had to do was say no one more time.”“I said no dozens of times last night!”“Yeah, but we did it like… six times, I think… I lost count

The rest of the week was hell. Dominic would send me suggestive text messages and call me at absurd hours of the night asking what I was wearing, but those were the nights I was thankful for. Other nights he would simply show up at my door. He was everything that I always accused men of being: a pig.Any time that he threatened to end our collaboration if I didn’t obey him, I wanted to threaten to cut his balls off in his sleep, but I was so worried that his threats are legit that I end up doing as he says, and beating myself up every day for it.The only good thing that I had to look forward to this week was my day with Isaac this weekend. I feel like I’m going to burst open at any moment now that I have realized my feelings for him.He needs to know. I need to tell him that I love him too, and he needs to leave Whitney before it becomes too late. She always seemed cold to me, and I couldn’

“Steph, I’ve known you your whole life and I know when something is up. Just tell me. You know you can trust me.”The tears came so quickly that I couldn’t even try to stop them. “I’m broke.”I crumbled and my body shook as I cried, “The business is spiraling the drain and I had no other choice than to make a deal with the devil and collaborate with him.”Isaac brought me into a bear hug and let me drape my legs over his lap as I cried into his jacket.“Why does it have to be him? Can’t you collaborate with someone else?”“Not at this point. I’m too far down the rabbit hole by now, I’ve already surrendered to him and he will never let me go now. It’s like he has this leash on me and I have to go everywhere he wants me to go, do everything he tells me to do, and say anything that

Isaac POVHer eyes were teary, and her chin quivered as she looked at me with a pleading look.I can’t believe this is happening right now. The girl I’ve been madly in love with for the last twenty-four years has finally confessed that she feels the same… And it’s too late.She’s in a rough spot right now, and I fear that this feeling of hers is only a phase. I fear that I will end up losing everything. It’s a battle of my mind versus my heart right now.I love Whitney, I do, but there’s always been something missing from our relationship. I was never as comfortable with her as I am with Stephanie, and I constantly question why that is.It’s most likely because I grew up with Steph and she knows me inside and out, and I worry if Whitney will ever get to that point.I know I tease Steph ab

I sobbed as soon as Isaac shut the door behind him. I wanted to run after him, but I was too hurt and weak to get up from the couch. He pulled away like my body had just burst into flames and burnt him or something. It was so sudden, and so fast that it made me jump at first. He stared at me like he was ashamed and like he regretted kissing me, and it shattered my heart. I thought when he didn’t push me away at first that we could get past the awkwardness and he would realize that I was the one for him, but no luck. So I remained on the couch and cried my feeling out. Isaac was so beautiful, so strong. His chest was perfectly firm and his muscles flexed as he hovered on top of me as I had always imagined. I couldn’t decide what part of his body to feel first, so I let my leg wander his, my left hand felt his chest, and my right hand dug into his hair.

Dominic nearly growled at my answer when I referred to him as “Master" without him even having to ask.His hand trailed between my legs and began stroking my wet folds, making my breathing heavier as I was pinned against the door. Dominic's head leaned down and into the crook of my neck where he inhaled my perfume.“Well, aren’t you yummy,” he murmured, letting his hot breath fan my neck before he placed his lips there and gently sucked on the skin.My eyes rolled to the back of my head and my head tilted back against the dark-stained wooden door. My hands slowly raised and held onto his biceps as he continued sucking on the delicate skin there and I squeezed gently to show my approval.My lips parted and a soft moan escaped my lips as Dominic’s other hand reached for my breast and gave it a harsh squeeze.“Careful there,
