Melissa’s POV

After spending the rest of the day hiding in my room and crying like a literal horse I fell asleep. The next day i woke up feeling like death.

My body was heavy, my stomach churned, and my head throbbed with a dull, persistent ache. The message from yesterday haunted me, replaying over and over in my mind like a broken record.

I stretched slowly, wincing at the stiffness in my muscles. Every part of me wanted to crawl back under the covers and hide. The thought of facing a party full of strangers, of smiling and pretending everything was fine, made me want to be sick all over again.

But I didn’t have a choice.

This was important to Mom. Important to Gavin. And I couldn’t let them see me fall apart.

I dragged myself out of bed and into the shower, letting the hot water cascade over me until my skin turned pink. It didn’t help. The nausea remained, sitting heavy in my gut like a stone.

When I was finally done and made my way downstairs, I stopped short at the bottom of the

  • Craving My Mother's Hot Fiancé   Chapter 85

    Melissa’s POVWarm water cascaded over my skin, washing away the evidence of the night.I stood in the massive shower, my legs still trembling, my body deliciously sore in places I’d never been sore before. The steam surrounded us like a cocoon, blocking out everything except this moment. It was just I and Gavin in our own perfect world.Gavin stood behind me, his large hands gentle as he worked shampoo through my hair. His fingers massaged my scalp carefully.“Mhmm.” I moaned softly from how nice it felt.“Tilt your head back,” he murmured.I obeyed, letting the water rinse the shampoo away. His hands followed, making sure every strand was clean.Then he pressed a soft kiss to my wet hair. Something in my chest tightened at the gesture.“I can do this myself, you know?” I said quietly, but there was no real protest in my voice.“I know.” His hands moved to my shoulders, soaping them gently. “But I want to, you don’t have to do anything when I’m here.”I closed my eyes and let him tak

    Melissa’s POVThe cuffs felt cold and heavy on my wrists. Gavin clicked them shut, locking them to the headboard. My arms stretched up high, pulling my body tight. I couldn’t move much. My back arched a little, pushing my breasts out. My legs fell open. I was bare, wet, and I couldn’t do anything but wait for him.He stood at the end of the bed. His eyes roamed over me slowly as he undressed his beautiful tattoo coming into view making my pussy clench at just the sight of him . He was naked now, his cock hard and thick, pointing up. Veins stood out along its length. I licked my lips without thinking.“You know the word,” he said, his voice deep and calm.“Red,” I whispered back.He nodded. Then he climbed onto the bed, kneeling between my thighs. He didn’t touch me right away. He just looked at me. His gaze felt like a touch, making my skin hot.“You’re so wet already,” he said. “Dripping down your thighs. All for me.”I felt my face get warm. He was right. I could feel the slickness

    Melissa’s POVThe words hung in the air between us, heavy and undeniable.I love you.I stared at him, my tears still falling, my breath still coming in short gasps.He loved me.Gavin Cross…this powerful, dangerous, controlled man…loved me.I reached up with shaking hands and wiped my tears, smearing them across my cheeks. Then I leaned into him, my hands finding his face, pulling him toward me.“Gavin,” I whispered against his lips.Then I kissed him.He responded immediately, one hand angling my head exactly how he wanted it, the other gripping my hip hard enough to bruise. His tongue swept into my mouth, claiming, possessing, kissing me like he was starving and I was the only thing that could satisfy him.I melted against him, all my fear transforming into something else entirely. Something hot and desperate and consuming.“Gavin,” I gasped against his mouth.He didn’t need me to finish. Didn’t need the words.His hands were already moving, pulling at my jeans, yanking them down m

    Melissa’s POV“Come here, Melissa.” His voice was quiet. Too quiet.I stood in the doorway, my heart pounding, every instinct in my body screaming at me to run.Gavin sat on the couch in the darkness, illuminated only by the soft glow of the Christmas tree lights. He held a coffee mug in one hand, he looked casual, and very relaxed. But his eyes…those piercing blue eyes…were locked on me with an intensity that made my blood run cold.This wasn’t the Gavin who’d held me gently in the hidden room. This wasn’t the Gavin who’d looked at me with warmth when I opened my Christmas present.This was something else. And he was dangerous.“I… I should go to bed,” I said, my voice coming out shaky. “It’s late and…”“Sit. Down.”The command in his voice made me flinch.I took a hesitant step forward, then stopped. My body was screaming at me. Every nerve. Every instinct.Run.RUN.I’d learned a long time ago to trust that instinct. My father had taught me that before he died…when something feels

    Jason’s POVMy phone buzzed on the nightstand, with the message I got from dad.I grabbed it without opening my eyes, squinting at the bright screen in the darkness, I pushed the brown haired beauty by my side. She mumbled something as she faced the other side and continued her sleep. I sat up immediately. Gavin didn’t send messages at three in the morning unless it was important.I opened it.The message was encrypted…one of those apps he’d made me install months ago for “family business.” I entered the code and waited for it to decrypt.An address appeared. Troy Daniels’ apartment. Followed by a single line of instruction.Make it hurt.A slow smile spread across my face.Finally,I’d been waiting for this. Watching that piece of shit circle around Melissa like a vulture, I tried to act blind to it because a warrior girl could handle herself.

She’s safe.I stared at the message for a long moment, the words settling something in my chest that had been tight since the gala.I set the phone face down and stood from my chair. The leather creaked softly in the silence.The penthouse was dark except for the warm glow of Christmas lights Diana had insisted on stringing everywhere. They cast golden shadows across the walls, making everything look softer than it was.Everyone was asleep. Diana in our bedroom down the hall. Jason out doing whatever Jason did at this hour.
