LOGINBronte’s POV
The days got blurry after that. Mom left for her conference on Friday morning, hugging me tight at the door and telling me to behave. If only she knew, Rufus stood beside me, the perfect husband, waving her off with a warm smile. The second her car disappeared down the street, the mask he put on dropped. He turned to me slowly, his eyes were dark with hunger. “Text Chloe,” he said. “Tell her tonight.” My fingers were shaking as I typed the message because i had no idea about what was going to happen. Chloe replied immediately, excited about our girls night. By evening, the house felt and looked different. Chloe arrived around seven, carrying a bag full of snacks, face masks, and two bottles of cheap wine. She hugged me hard at the door. “I’m so glad we’re doing this,” she said, pulling back to look at me. “You look like you need it.” I forced a smile. “Yeah… I really do.” Rufus was in the kitchen when we walked in, he greeted Chloe politely, and even charmingly, he offered her a glass of real wine from his collection. She accepted, a little moved by how handsome and composed he was. We settled in the living room at first, talking about school, boys, and stupid drama. It all felt normal for a while. But I kept catching Rufus watching me from across the room, patiently and waiting. Around ten, he stood up. “I’ll leave you girls to it,” he said smoothly. “I have some work to finish upstairs. Enjoy your night.” The moment he left, Chloe turned to me, with her eyes wide. “Okay, be honest. Is it weird living with him? He’s… intense.” I swallowed my saliva hard. “You have no idea.” We moved up to my room eventually, laying out blankets and pillows on the floor like we used to do in high school. We drank the wine, laughed a little. But the tension never left my chest. Around midnight, my phone buzzed, it was Rufus asking me to come his room. My heart started racing fast. I told Chloe I was going to the bathroom. Instead, I slipped down the hall to Rufus’s bedroom. He was waiting, the second I closed the door, he pulled me against him, kissing me like he’d been starving for it all night. His hands roamed under my shirt, possessive and rough. “They’re here,” he murmured against my mouth. “My friends. Downstairs in the guest lounge. Are you ready?” I froze. “Tonight?” I whispered. Rufus pulled back just enough to look at me, his hand gripping my face. “You don’t have to do anything you don’t want,” he said softly. “But I think you do. I think you’ve been craving more for a while now.” His fingers traced down my neck, over the necklace. “Tell me the truth, Bronte. Do you want to feel what it’s like to be completely taken?” I stood there shaking, in a position between terror and a dark aching need I couldn’t deny anymore. Down the hall, Chloe was waiting in my room, completely clueless. And downstairs, Rufus’s friends were waiting. I looked up at him, with my voice in a whisper. “Yes.” “Good girl.” Rufus said and smiled in a satisfied way.Bronte’s POVThe days got blurry after that.Mom left for her conference on Friday morning, hugging me tight at the door and telling me to behave.

Bronte’s POVI have not been myself for the past few days, it felt like walking on broken glass.Mom was watching me more closely now. She’d ask little questions like “You’ve been quiet lately,” or “Is everything okay with Jake?”And every time I lied, I felt the necklace burn against my skin like a brand.Rufus noticed the shift in the house too. Instead of pushing harder, he became strangely patient. Or can I say sweet.He’d bring me coffee in the morning, kiss my forehead in front of Mom like a perfect stepfather, then later corner me in the laundry room and make me come on his fingers while whispering filthy things in my ear.The whole thing was driving me insane.On Wednesday afternoon, I was alone in the house when Chloe showed up unannounced. She had snacks and a serious face.“We need to talk,” she said, dropping onto my bed.I closed the door quickly.She didn’t even wait for me to sit down.“Jake is losing it, Bronte. He showed up at my place again last night. He’s talking a
Bronte’s POV The necklace felt like a chain around my throat. I wore it under my shirt all day, constantly aware of its presence. Every time I touched it, I heard Rufus’s voice in my head: “Every time you touch it, you’ll remember who owns you.” Mom returned from her short retreat that evening, exhausted but in a good mood. She made her famous lasagna and talked about work the whole dinner. I smiled and nodded, but my mind was elsewhere. Rufus sat across from me, calm and charming as always. But under the table, his foot kept brushing against mine like a silent reminder. Later that night, after Mom went to bed, I got a string of messages from Chloe Jake won’t let this go. He’s really worried. He said he’s thinking about talking to your mom, please be careful. I’m scared for you. I was typing a reply when Rufus walked into my room without knocking. He saw me on my phone “Who is it?” he asked “Chloe,” I said quickly. He took the phone from my hand, read the messa
Bronte’s POVI barely had time to process what I had told Chloe before the consequences hit.The next morning, Mom left early for a weekend work retreat, leaving Rufus and me alone in the house for two full days.I thought it would be heaven. Instead, it became a pressure cooker.Rufus was different today, he was quieter, and more calculating. After breakfast, he called me into his office. Not for sex. He sat me down in the chair across from his desk like I was in a business meeting.“I’ve been thinking,” he said, leaning back. “You’re getting too comfortable lying to everyone. That needs to change.”My stomach tightened. “What do you mean?”“From now on, when you’re with me, you don’t get to feel guilty. Guilt makes you sloppy.” He slid a small black box across the desk. “Open it.”Inside was a delicate silver necklace with a small pendant. It looked so beautiful until he turned it over. On the back, engraved in tiny letters. Property of R.Is he fucking kidding me.“I want you wea
Bronte’s POVThe drive back from meeting Jake left me shaken.He had begged me to tell him what was going on. He said I looked scared. He said he still loved me, for a moment, sitting on that park bench, I almost broke. I almost told him everything, that I was fucking my stepfather, that I couldn’t stop, that the danger turned me on more than anything ever had.But I didn’t.I lied. I told him I was just stressed about school and the new marriage. He didn’t believe me, but he let me go.Now, as I stepped back into the house, the weight of my double life pressed down on me harder than ever.Rufus was waiting, he was sitting on the couch in the living room, legs spread, looking every inch the man who owned me. The second I closed the door, his eyes locked onto mine.“Come here,” he said.I walked over slowly. He pulled me onto his lap, straddling him. His hands immediately slid under my sundress, gripping my bare ass.“Did you shut him down?” he asked, voice low and dangerous.“I trie
Bronte’s POVSunlight poured through the half open curtains, warm across my bare legs. I stirred slowly, every muscle in my body protesting. A deep, delicious ache throbbed between my thighs. My ass burned faintly where Rufus had spanked me, and my wrists carried faint red lines from his belt.For a moment, I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, trying to process everything that had happened last night.'Daddy', the word echoed in my head, sending a fresh wave of shame and heat through me. I had begged him. I had called him Daddy while he fucked me like he owned me. And the worst part? I had loved every second of it.I turned my head. The bed was empty beside me, but I could hear movement downstairs. The smell of coffee drifted up from the kitchen.Carefully, I sat up and winced. My body was covered in marks, fingerprints on my hips, a hickey just below my collarbone, and the unmistakable evidence of his cum still sticky on my inner thighs. I looked like I’d been claimed.
