Moon light spilled through the windows as I dropped to my knees in the middle of the rug, the fibers soft against my bare skin, but nothing could cushion the way my fucking body trembled.

The nightdress had slipped further during my stumble inside, one strap dangling off my shoulder.

Gage circled me slowly, his bare feet silent on the floor, the weight of his gaze heavier than any goddamn touch.

Then he stopped in front of me, close enough that I could see the outline of his cock straining

    He didn’t answer. I stood up, pushing the chair back a little harder than necessary. My notes and laptop were still spread across the table, but I suddenly couldn’t stand to be in the same room as him anymore. “You can have the Study to yourself,” I muttered, more to myself than to him. “I’m not sitting here while you act like you’re doing some kind of psychological experiment on me.” I nudged his shoulder as I walked past and headed for the door without looking back. “Saraphina, he called but I ignored him. His hand shot out and caught my wrist before I could reach the door. His grip wasn’t rough, but it was firm enough to stop me in my tracks. “Hey,” he let out, his voice lower now. “I’m talking to you.” I tried to keep moving anyway, but he didn’t let go. Then he sighed, the sound tired and a little frustrated, like he was annoyed at himself more than at me. “It seems like you took my words completely the wrong goddamn way,” he muttered, voice low. “I wasn’t trying to ta

    Noah’s eyebrow lifted slightly, like he hadn’t expected that answer. He stayed where he was, leaning against the edge of the desk now instead of the doorway, arms still crossed over his chest.“Offended?” he asked, almost amused.“Shouldn’t I be?” I shot back. “You make it sound like I only got in because of my last name.”He didn’t argue and just watched me with that annoying poker expression of his. The silence stretched as he hovered near the desk, picking up one of my notebooks and flipping through it absently.I tried to refocus on my laptop, but it was impossible with him standing there. His presence filled the room in a way that made it hard to think straight. Every time I tried to read a line, I could feel his eyes on me or hear the faint rustle of pages as he kept flipping through my notes.After a few more minutes of it, I finally dropped my pen and looked up at him, exasperated.“I can’t concentrate with you here,” I said bluntly.Noah glanced up from the notebook, tilting

    I climbed out and followed him, the cool evening air brushing against my skin. As I passed Mr. James, he gave me a small, reassuring nod, but his focus was already on the car, lifting the hood to inspect whatever had caused it to die so suddenly in the middle of the road.Noah didn’t say much as I slid into the passenger seat of his car. He just started the engine and pulled away, leaving Mr. James behind to deal with the broken-down vehicle. I stared out the window as the trees blurred past, my mind still spinning. After a while, I finally spoke, my voice quiet.“Do you think the car breaking down was an accident?”Noah’s grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly, but he didn’t look at me.“Who knows,” he let out after a moment, his voice low.I didn’t push him and could tell he wasn’t in the mood to talk — or maybe he just didn’t want to tell me the truth. Either way, I stayed quiet, watching as the tall iron gates of the mansion came into view.As we got closer, the gates be

    SERAPHINA °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ Riley’s smile faltered, as if she was genuinely shocked by my response. Did she seriously not realize how incredibly creepy she was being? Then she laughed lightly. “Oh. Okay. No problem. Maybe another time then?” I nodded, still smiling even though my hands were shaking. “Yeah. Maybe.” She stood there for another moment, studying me like she was trying to read something on my face. Then she gave a little wave, turned around, and walked back to her car without another word. As she drove off, I let out a shaky breath and leaned back against the trunk. Mr. James' eyes stayed sharp as he glanced between the road ahead like he was still expecting trouble. “Do you know her?” he asked quietly. I let out a shaky breath, still trying to steady myself after everything that had just happened with Riley but my hands were still trembling. “Um… yeah,” I let out, my voice small. “We met at school. She’s in one of my classes. Her name’s Riley.” A sudden gust of wind

    ❁✿❀ I kept my hands steady on the wheel even though my pulse was hammering like it wanted out of my chest. Seraphina’s taillights glowed a few car lengths in front of me and the night was thick around us, trees lining both sides of the narrow stretch, their branches thrashing in the wind with that low, constant whooshing sound that made everything feel far too quiet and too alive at the same time.I’d been following her since she left campus.Her phone sat in my cup holder, the same phone I’d gone through hell to get access to. Pretending to be the nice new girl, the one she “accidentally” bumped into and offered to walk her back to her class. The passcode had been easy once I had thirty seconds alone with it. Memorized it while I gave her my number. Now the screen lit up.A text from Kai.I glanced down fast but it was nothing useful, just a casual text. “You make it home safe?” “Useless,” I muttered, eyes snapping back to the road. All that risk for a code and I still had nothin

  • Daddies Taste Better    CHAPTER 301: But Phases Don’t Last Years

    I don’t know why. Maybe because my mother had spent so many years trying to convince the world—and herself—that Noah Ashford was nothing. And here he was, already treated like nothing by the very people who were supposed to love him. Or maybe it was the mystery of it. Whatever the reason maybe, I found myself being infatuated by him.I opened a new tab. Then another and searched old high school records, archived social media, news articles and after hours of digging, I did find fragments. A mention in a police report from seven years ago with charges dropped when Ashford legal team arrived. A blurry photo from someone’s old Instagram story, Noah in the background at a club, head thrown back in a laugh that didn’t reach his eyes. A single line in a business journal from when he was twenty: “Noah Ashford, once considered the future of Ashford Holdings, has reportedly stepped away from college to pursue independent interests.”Independent interests. That could mean anything, drugs,
