LOGINBronte’s POV
I barely slept after slipping back into my room. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Rufus powerful body slamming into my mother. My fingers were between my legs three more times that night, but it wasn’t enough. I was soaked, in pains, and too obsessed. The next morning, I woke up with my heart already racing. I could hear movement downstairs. Mom had an early meeting, so she was probably already gone. That meant Rufus was still here. I chose my outfit carefully, it was a thin white tank top with no bra and tiny pink shorts that went up my ass when I walked. I told myself it was just because it was hot in the house. But it was all lies, I wanted him to look at me the way he had looked at her. I took a deep breath and went downstairs. Rufus was in the kitchen, pouring himself a cup of coffee. He was wearing grey sweatpants and a tight black tshirt. The same body I had watched fuck my mother senseless just hours ago. He turned when he heard me, his eyes moved slowly down my body, looking at my hard nipples, then lower to my thighs. “Morning Bronte,” he said, his voice a little rougher than usual. “Morning,” I replied, my voice a little down. I grabbed a glass and filled it with water, trying to act normal. “Sleep well?” I walked closer, with my heart pounding. “Not really, I kept waking up” I replied. “Anything on your mind?” He raised an eyebrow, taking a sip of his coffee while watching me. Just hearing his voice made my nipples harden under my thin tank top, I squeezed my thighs together I stopped in front of him, he was so tall. I could smell his perfume. “Yeah a lot, actually.” He put his mug down slowly, “Want to talk about it?” I told him no “You sure?” he asked, his tone a little lower. “If something’s bothering you, you can talk to me. I’m part of the family now.” I bit my lip and said“I saw you last night, with mom on the couch.” My cheeks were burning. Rufus went still, I actually thought he might get angry but instead, something dark and hungry were in his eyes. “You saw us,” he asked. I nodded, with my voice shaking. “I watched the whole thing. The way you fucked her, how deep you went and how hard you made her moan. I couldn’t look away.” “That was private, Bronte.” He stepped closer. “I know, but I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I touched myself while watching you and then again in my room”. I breathed. I could see the swell in his sweatpants growing, he wanted this too. “Fuck,” he muttered, running a hand through his hair. “You’re playing a dangerous game, little girl.” “I don’t care,” I whispered, stepping even closer until my breasts brushed against his chest. “I want you, Rufus, I want you to fuck me the way you fucked her maybe even harder.” His hand suddenly grabbed my waist pulling me against him, I gasped as I felt how hard he was. “You have no idea what you’re asking for, if we do this there’s no going back.”he growled, his lips brushing my ear. “I don’t want to go back, I want you to ruin me.” I said, my voice trembling with need. I kind of thought he was going to take me right there on the kitchen counter, his hand went down to my ass and squeezed hard. He kissed me with his tongue tangled with mine as his hand slid under my shorts, finding me soaking wet. He pushed two thick fingers inside me, fucking me fast while his thumb rubbed my clit. I moaned into his mouth, my hips owned by him. But then he stepped back breathing heavily, his eyes were dark with lust. “Your mother will be home soon,we can’t do this here” He said, with his strained voice. The word sent a cold feeling through my entire body. He wasn’t saying no I guess, he was just saying not now. “Okay daddy” I smiled, even though my pussy wasn’t okay. I could see his eyes flash immediately i said the word, he looked like he was barely holding himself back. I turned and walked out of the kitchen, feeling him stare at my back the entire time. My legs were shaking, and I knew I was dripping down my thighs again. Later that evening, when mom was in the shower, Rufus corners me alone in the hallway and this time, he doesn’t even walk away.bronte’s The hours before Mom came home moved too slowly and too fast at the same time.I tried to keep busy. I cleaned the kitchen. I folded laundry that didn’t need folding. I sat on the edge of my bed and stared at the wall. Nothing helped. Every sound in the house felt louder than it should have. Every time a car passed outside, my stomach tightened.Rufus stayed close without crowding me. He worked in his office with the door open, glancing up whenever I walked past. Once he called me in and pulled me into his lap, kissing me slowly while his hand slid under my shirt. We didn’t go further. He just held me there for a while, forehead against mine, like he was steadying himself as much as me.“Whatever happens when she walks in,” he said quietly, “you don’t have to face it alone.”I wanted to believe that. Part of me did. Another part of me kept hearing Jake’s messages and Chloe’s warnings and the way Mom’s voice had sounded the last time she left.Around six thirty, headlight
Bronte’s The next morning felt heavier than the ones before it.I woke up in Rufus’s bed again. He was already gone from the room, but I could hear him downstairs on a call. His voice was low and controlled the same tone he used when he was handling something important. I lay there for a while, staring at the ceiling, trying to ignore the knot in my stomach.Mom still hadn’t come home.I checked my phone. Two missed calls from Chloe. One long message from Jake that I didn’t open. And a short text from Mom"I’ll be back this evening. We need to talk properly. No more avoiding it."I sat up slowly, the sheet falling around my waist. The necklace felt colder than usual against my skin.When I finally went downstairs, Rufus was in the kitchen making coffee. He looked up when he saw me and held out a mug. I took it without speaking.“She’s coming back tonight,” I said.“I know.”“She’s going to ask again.”Rufus leaned against the counter and studied me. “And what are you going to say
Bronte’s After Mom left the second time, the house felt different.It wasn’t just quiet anymore. It felt judged. Like the walls had heard every lie and were waiting for the next one.Rufus didn’t say much after she drove away, he went back to his office and closed the door. I stood in the living room for a long time, staring at the spot where Mom had been sitting, replaying the look on her face when my phone lit up with Jake’s name. That look had said more than any of her words.She didn’t fully know yet.But she was close.I went upstairs and sat on the edge of my own bed for the first time in days. The room felt foreign. Smaller. I pulled the necklace off and held it in my palm, staring at the tiny engraving on the back. Property of R, for a moment I considered throwing it away. Instead I put it back on.My phone buzzed again.Jake, She called me after she left. She’s scared, Bronte. She asked me if I thought you were in danger.I told her the truth that I don’t know. But I’m no
Bronte’s POVI woke up alone in Rufus’s bed.The sheets still smelled like him. My body ached in familiar places. For a few seconds I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, trying to remember what day it was. Then the quiet of the house came over me and I remembered Mom was supposed to come home.I sat up fast. The necklace shifted against my skin.Downstairs I could hear movement a door closing, the soft sound of keys being set on the counter. My stomach dropped.She was already here.I pulled on one of Rufus’s shirts and a pair of shorts, then forced myself downstairs. Mom stood in the kitchen with her back to me, still wearing the same clothes from two days ago. Her suitcase was by the wall. When she turned around, her eyes found me immediately.“Bronte.”That single word carried too much weight.“Hi, Mom.”She looked tired, older somehow. Her gaze drifted over the oversized shirt I was wearing, then away again.“Where’s Rufus?”“In his office, I think.”She nodded once. “I’d l
Rufus’s POVI watched her sleep on the couch after I carried her upstairs and put her in my bed.Bronte always looked younger when she was unconscious softer, less haunted. The marks I’d left on her thighs and hips stood out against her skin in the low light. The necklace rested in the hollow of her throat. She still wore it even when she was alone. That detail pleased me more than it should have.Catherine was coming home tonight. I could feel it. The messages she’d sent earlier were careful, distant, full of the kind of quiet that meant she had already started making decisions. Jake was pushing harder. Chloe was calling more often. The walls were closing in, and Bronte was starting to feel the pressure in ways that made her hesitate.I didn’t like hesitation.I sat in the chair near the bed and opened my laptop. The security feeds from the house played in small windows on the side of the screen. The recordings from the guest lounge the night my friends came over were still encry
Bronte’s By the second day of Mom’s absence, the house had settled into a strange, dangerous rhythm.Rufus worked from home more than usual. He kept me close sometimes in his office while he took calls, sometimes downstairs on the couch with my legs draped over his lap, his hand resting possessively on my thigh. We fucked in almost every room. On the kitchen counter while coffee cooled beside us. Against the hallway wall. In the shower with water running over both of us. Each time felt hungrier than the last, like he was trying to stamp himself deeper into me before the real world came back.I stopped fighting the need. That scared me more than anything else.On the afternoon of the second day, Chloe called. I almost didn’t answer.“Where are you?” she asked the second I picked up. “Your mom is still at the hotel. She’s talking about coming home tonight. And Jake is losing his mind. He showed up at my place again this morning with more files. He’s talking about going to the polic
