LOGINLia’s POV
A real smile, not the annoyed half-smile he usually gave me. His eyes lit up as he looked at her, traveling down her body slowly, taking his time.
"I don't need anything for now," he said, and his voice was different. Warmer. Friendlier. Flirty, even.
"Okay, sir," she purred, holding his gaze for a beat too long. "Just let me know if that changes."
Then she turned and walked away, her hips swaying with each step. I watched as Rob's eyes followed her the whole way, glued to her ass as she disappeared through the door at the front. He didn't even try to hide it. Didn't even care that I was sitting right there.
He even licked his lips slightly, his tongue darting out as he stared after her.
My chest felt tight. My throat felt like it was closing up. But I pretended not to see. I turned my face toward the window and stared at the clouds, blinking rapidly to keep the tears from forming.
This was normal, I told myself. Guys looked at other women. It didn't mean anything. I was being insecure again, just like Rob always said.
But it hurt. God, it hurt.
He never looked at me like that. Never smiled at me like that. Never licked his lips when he saw me.
I closed my eyes and pressed my forehead against the cool window, feeling the vibration of the plane through the glass.
I must have fallen asleep because I was woken up by slurping sounds.
My eyes were still closed, my mind foggy as I came back to consciousness. What was that noise? Wet sounds. Rhythmic. And breathing—heavy breathing that wasn't mine.
I wondered what the sound was, my brain still half-asleep and trying to make sense of it.
Then I turned my head and opened my eyes.
The scene in front of me broke me. Completely shattered whatever pieces of my heart were still intact.
The flight attendant was on her knees in front of Rob. Right there on the expensive carpet of the private jet, her uniform skirt hiked up slightly, her perfect hair still pulled back in that bun. And her lips were wrapped around his cock, her head bobbing up and down as she sucked him eagerly.
Rob's pants were undone, pushed down just enough. His head was tilted back against the seat, his eyes closed, his mouth slightly open. One of his hands rested on the back of her head, his fingers tangled in her hair, guiding her movements.
The wet, obscene sounds filled the cabin. Slurping. Sucking. His quiet groans of pleasure.
I couldn't move. Couldn't breathe. Couldn't look away even though seeing it was killing me.
This wasn't hidden anymore. This wasn't just suspicion or insecurity. This was real. This was happening right in front of me, just a few feet away.
His eyes were closed so he didn't see that I had woken up. He was completely lost in it, in the feeling of her mouth on him, completely unaware or uncaring that I was right there.
Then the flight attendant looked up at me. Her eyes met mine directly, and I saw it—she knew I was awake. She knew I was watching.
And instead of stopping, instead of pulling away, she sucked harder. Her cheeks hollowed out as she took him deeper, her pace increasing. Her eyes stayed locked on mine, challenging me. Taunting me.
Look what I can do. Look what he wants. Look what you can't give him.
Tears ran down my face, hot and fast, streaming down my cheeks. I couldn't stop them. My whole body started shaking. I tried to stay quiet, tried not to make a sound, but a sob built up in my chest.
I choked back the sob, but a small sound escaped anyway—a broken, pathetic whimper.
The sound made Rob open his eyes. His head lifted and he turned toward me, our eyes meeting.
I waited for something. Horror. Shame. Guilt. An apology. Something that showed he cared that he'd just destroyed me.
But when he saw me, he didn't even look horrified that he'd been caught. His expression was blank. Annoyed, maybe. Like I was interrupting something important.
He didn't push her away quickly. Didn't scramble to cover himself. Didn't try to explain or lie or make up an excuse.
He just gently eased her head off his cock, his hand sliding through her hair almost affectionately. She released him with a wet pop, a string of saliva connecting her lips to him for a second before breaking.
Then he bent down and whispered something into her ear, his lips close to her skin. She nodded, stood up smoothly, and wiped the corner of her mouth with her thumb. She straightened her uniform, checked her hair, and left without a word. Without even looking at me again.
Just like that. Like nothing had happened. Like she hadn't just sucked my boyfriend's cock right in front of me.
The door clicked shut behind her, leaving Rob and me alone in the cabin.
The silence was deafening. Just the hum of the plane and my ragged breathing and the sound of my heart breaking into a million pieces.
"Why?" I finally managed to choke out, my voice broken and raw. Tears were still streaming down my face, dripping off my chin. "Why would you do this to me?"
I wanted him to say something. Anything. To apologize, to tell me he was sorry, to explain that he'd made a terrible mistake.
But Rob just looked at me with those cold, indifferent eyes. He reached down and calmly tucked himself back into his pants, zipping them up like this was no big deal.
"Don't overreact," he said flatly, his tone bored and dismissive. "The attendant was just doing her job."
Just doing her job. Like sucking passengers' cocks was part of the standard in-flight service.
I stared at him in disbelief, my mouth opening and closing but no words coming out. How could he say that? How could he act like this was normal?
"Besides," he added, his voice turning cruel, "she sucked my cock better than you ever did."
Lia’s POVI put on the robe she had laid out. It was white and soft and too fine for how nervous my hands felt. Joella tied the belt for me like I could not be trusted with knots. Then she pushed me into the chair by the window and told me not to touch my face.“The artists are coming,” she said. “If you start crying before they get here, I will be forced to ruin my own morning.”“I am not going to cry.”“You always say that. And then you cry. And then I cry. And then we both look crazy.”A knock came at the door not long after.The makeup artist and the hairstylist arrived together, rolling black cases behind them, polite and quick, already looking at my hair like it was a problem they were happy to solve. They set up near the window where the light was best. Brushes lined up. Palettes opened. A steamer hissed once. The smell of clean powder and warm tools filled the room.Joella watched them like a sergeant.She stood with her arms crossed at first, then circled. She asked if they h
Lia’s POVShe hugged me back just as hard, champagne and perfume and that old familiar Joella smell, vanilla and trouble.“I’m going to miss you when you go on your honeymoon,” she said into my shoulder.“I’m not going away forever,” I said. “I’ll come back soon.”I pulled back enough to see her face and smiled through the tears.“Besides. You have Callum and Cavern to occupy your time. Or even better… occupy you.”She smacked my arm.“Lia.”“What? I said what I said.”She tried to look offended. She failed. Her ears went pink.“Drink your champagne and shut up.”I did, laughing.The box sat open between us, red lace and fur and all her love dressed up as filth. Outside, the island was dark. Tomorrow I would put on a white dress and walk toward the rest of my life.I woke up the next morning to the feeling of someone jumping on my bed.The mattress bounced. Once. Then again. Harder. A spring complained under us. I made a sound that was not a word and tried to pull the blanket over my
Lia’s POVTime on the island flew by so fast.One day I was still pressing ice to my cheek. The next, people started arriving. Then more people. Then flowers in rooms I did not remember asking to fill. The bruise faded from ugly purple to something makeup could hide. The villa filled with guests Victor and Dante had invited. Servers too. Trays. Glasses. Quiet footsteps in the halls at hours when the house used to belong only to us.And just like that, it was the night before my wedding.Matteo and Lola had arrived on the island that morning.I heard Matteo before I saw him. Small running feet on stone. His voice calling for Dante, bright and sure, like he already knew Dante would answer. When I came downstairs, he was already in Dante’s arms. He talked too fast about the boat and the water and whether there would be cake tomorrow. He asked if he could wear big-people shoes. Dante laughed and said we would see.Matteo was going to be our ring bearer.I could already see him in the litt
Lia’s POVVictor on one side. Dante on the other. The sheets cool, their bodies warm. Dante’s fingers moved slowly through my hair while he told us a story from his college days. Something about a stolen sculpture, a professor who never found out, and Cavern pretending he had nothing to do with it even though he had driven the car.Victor made a sound that might have been disapproval and might have been pride.“You’re smiling, babygirl,” he murmured.“I like hearing him talk,” I said.Dante kissed the top of my head. “That’s because you’re easy to please, baby.”“I am not.”“You are,” he said, softer. “In the best way.”When Dante finished the story, the room went quiet again.Victor’s hand was on my stomach, unmoving, thoughtful.“We need to talk to you about something, sweetheart.”I opened my eyes.Dante’s hand stilled in my hair.“Okay,” I said.Victor turned onto his side so he could see my face. The lamp on the nightstand made the silver in his hair catch. He looked at the bruis
Lia’s POVWe all walked into the villa.The house was cool after the helicopter and the sun. Stone floors. Open doors. Somewhere deeper inside, a curtain moved in the breeze. The faint smell of coffee and the sea met us in the entryway, familiar now, like the place had already decided we belonged to it.From the sitting room came the sound of low laughter.Easy. Unforced. The kind that belonged to men who had known each other long enough not to perform it.Victor, Dante, and Cavern were sitting together.They looked like they were having a good time. Glasses on the table. Sleeves rolled. Dante saying something that made Victor shake his head, that almost-smile of his showing at one corner. Cavern laughed under his breath and reached for his drink. For one second I just stood there in the doorway and watched them, the photo box against my chest, my cheek still tight from the ice and the slap.It should have been a beautiful thing to come home to.Then they saw us.Victor and Dante stoo
Lia's POVWe left the boutique.The door closed behind us and the street noise rushed back in, ordinary and too loud. Sun on stone. Someone laughing down the block. A scooter passing too close to the curb. My cheek throbbed. Joella’s fingers were still laced through mine, tight, like she thought I might turn around and go back inside.Callum walked us to the car without making a speech about it. He opened the back door. I got in. Joella slid in after me. The leather was cool. In the sudden quiet, I could still smell the shop on my skin. Perfume. New fabric. That thin metallic edge that meant someone had bled.Callum started the engine.“Ice,” he said. “Then you sit. Both of you.”Joella leaned her head against the seat. “I’m not dying.”“No one said you were. Your hand is split and her face is swelling. That is enough for one afternoon.”He drove us toward the water.I watched the town move past the window and tried to feel like the girl who had walked into that studio an hour ago. Br
Lia's POV“Fuck, you’re still so tight,” he groaned. “Even after everything we’ve done to you tonight. This ass was made to be fucked.”He stayed like that, not moving any deeper, just letting me feel the thick head of his cock sitting inside my ass while I trembled underneath him. Every few second
Lia's POV"I know," Dante said. "But I still feel responsible somehow. Like maybe if I'd done more, been a better example, he would have turned out differently. Would have treated you better.""Or maybe some people just are who they are regardless of what others do," I suggested. "You can't take re
Lia's POVI dove back down, taking every thick inch until he pressed deep into my throat. My nose brushed the dark hair at his base, and I held there, swallowing around him, letting my throat massage his cock while spit ran messily down my chin. His thighs shook on either side of me. His hand fiste
Lia's POVBut even as I flew away from the island, even as physical distance grew between me and what had happened there, I knew something fundamental had shifted.I wasn't the same woman who'd boarded this plane days ago.I wasn't the same woman who'd accepted Rob's neglect and disrespect as norma
