LOGINAudrina’s POV The phone call came right around breakfast. I was sitting at the kitchen island, staring into a mug of black coffee, when Ethan’s mobile started buzzing against the quartz counter. He picked it up on the second ring, listened for ten seconds without saying a word, and then his face went hard like granite.Two major investors pulled their backing from the firm after Richard spent the previous afternoon spreading rumors about a split. Just like that, the entire house felt like it was sitting under a storm cloud. Ethan didn't eat. He didn't even finish his coffee. He walked straight down the long hallway, went into his study, and shut the heavy oak door.He didn't come out for lunch. He didn't come out for dinner.By nine that night, the house was dead quiet except for the low, muffled sound of his voice behind that closed door, barking orders to lawyers and accountants in Chicago. My chest felt tight every time I walked past that hallway. I couldn't just sit in the living
Audrina’s POVThe door to Ethan’s office was open an inch. A bright strip of light ran down the dark hallway floorboards.I stood out there in the quiet house, my palm pressed flat against the drywall. My throat still burned from earlier, and my cheeks felt hot. Clara was down the hall in the spare bedroom, probably lying awake and waiting to hear if I was going to pack a bag. I took a deep breath, shoved the door open, and walked inside.Ethan sat behind his desk. He had pulled off his tie, throwing it across a stack of white paper, and his top shirt buttons were undone. A crystal glass sat by his right hand with an inch of whiskey in it. He didn't look up when the hinges creaked. He just kept staring down at a printed sheet, his jaw clenched so hard a muscle twitched in his cheek."Shut it behind you," he said. His voice was thick and raspy.I turned around and pushed the heavy oak door until the latch went click. "What is this about, Ethan? Clara is right down the hall, and it's
Audrina’s POVMy throat burned from the way I had laughed so hard. Clara sat and cross-legged on the chair, waving a crust of cold pizza around while she finished telling me about her old middle school gym teacher.For a few minutes, I actually forgot about everything even the delivery guy from earlier and the note I had received. My stomach was sore from laughing, and I actually felt it on my chin.Then the room went completely quiet.That could only mean one thing. Ethan was standing in the archway near the front door.I didn't hear his car on the driveway. I didn't hear his key in the lock or the front door swing open. He wasn't expected back yet, but there he stood in his dark work suit, his coat folded over his arm.I stopped to laugh, my lips parted. My mouth snapped shut, and every muscle in my back went cold.Ethan was standing, staring right at me. For a second his face looked off—his mouth was slightly open, like he'd just caught me doing something I shouldn't be doing."
Audrina’s POVA sharp knock hit the front door.I jumped. My hand jerked, and hot coffee splashed over my knuckles onto the kitchen counter. My heart slammed hard against my ribs."I'll get it!" Clara's voice came out loud from the living room."No, don’t worry!" I said back, wiping my hand on my jeans. "I'm right here."I walked down along the hallway, walking gently so my slippers made no sound. I reached the front door and pulled the corner of the curtain back to peek through the window.There was a guy wearing a black cap already walking back to white van parked on the driveway. He didn't wait. He didn't even turn his head around to check if anyone heard was coming or not.He sat right in the middle of the stone porch step, he held a tall, dark glass vase. It was filled with deep red roses.I unlocked the door and pulled it open a few inches.Cold, damp morning air hit my face. I leaned down, grabbed the thick neck of the glass vase, and pulled it inside the house.There was n
Audrina POVEthan stood near the front door holding his jacket. My mother was standing right beside him, fixing her pearl earrings in her compact mirror and checking her purse."We'll be back in two days, Audrina," Ethan said, grinning.He didn't make a big deal out of it. He spoke like he was just going down the street for coffee, not taking a two-night business trip with my mom."Okay," I said. My throat dry.Mom kissed my cheek quickly. "Be good, sweetie. Don't ruin the house."Ethan didn't touch me. He just held my eyes for a long second, his gaze running slow over my mouth. Then he turned, opened the door, and followed my mother outside.The front door clicked shut while I stood there staring at the door. A few seconds later, their car engine started up and the tires crunched over the gravel driveway, fading off into the distance.Then the house crashed into silence.My skin prickled immediately. My stomach did a weird, sick flip. The whole place felt wrong, like someone had suck
Audrina’s POVEthan yanked my hips off the back seat. He shoved me down onto my knees on the floor. My cheek slapped hard against the cold leather seat. My ass stayed pushed up high in the air.He unbuckled his belt with one quick, sharp metallic snap, pulling his thick shaft out and shoved it right into me from behind. A loud scream ripped out of my throat. The sheer size of him stretched me wide open. My fingernails dug deep into the leather cushion as he pounded into my body."Ethan! Oh god!" I gasped out, my breath cutting short."You like it like this, don't you?" he growled. His thick fingers clamped around my hips so hard his knuckles turned white. "No one touches you. Only me."He drove into me with heavy, brutal strokes. The whole car shook under his weight. My pussy walls locked around him tightly, completely soaked with my own slick. My body gave up trying to fight it. I couldn't stop the loud, embarrassing moans spilling out of my mouth into the dark."Cum for me, Audri
Audrina’s POVI turned and rolled on the bed. My head hurts. The sunlight filtering through the curtains felt too bright, like it was punishing me for something I hadn't fully remembered yet. I groaned softly, turning onto my side and pulling the blanket over my head. Bad idea. The moment I did
Audrina’s POVI was about to give a response when he lifted me into his arms. A quiet gasp left my lips. “Ethan…”"Be quiet,” he said, already moving. My heart pounded with every step he took. He went through my room door, straight to the bathtub. "You need to take your bath. You're not sleeping
Audrina’s POV“Audrina, answer my fucking question,” Ethan muttered in what sounded dangerously like a calm voice. "Why do you smell of alcohol?” "It's none of your business,” I said, my hands tightening around Max's. On a normal day, I wouldn't talk to him like this. He hated when I confronted
Audrina’s POVWhen my father died, he told me everything I needed to know about life and I decided I wouldn't give a fuck about it. That was what attending this party was about. Not giving a fuck. “Hey, Audrina," Max's voice pulled me back to the loud music echoing in the room. "Come back to me.”
