LOGINMom left for her errand and didn’t come back for hours. By the time the front door clicked shut behind her that evening, the apartment felt charged with electricity. Marcus had spent the afternoon “working” from his laptop in the living room, but his eyes followed me everywhere I went, dark, possessive, promising.
I tried to stay busy. I took a long shower, changed into comfortable shorts and a thin tank top, and attempted to study for my upcoming exams. But every time I closed my eyes, I felt his fingers inside me again, heard his low growl calling me “good girl” while I came for him right under Mom’s nose.
By 9 PM, Mom texted that she was having dinner with a friend and wouldn’t be home until late. “Bond with Marcus!” she added with a heart emoji.
Bond.
If only she knew how we’d already bonded.
I was in the kitchen grabbing a glass of water when Marcus appeared behind me. His presence filled the space before he even touched me. Strong arms caged me against the counter, his hard body pressing into my back.
“Finally alone,” he murmured against my ear, lips brushing the sensitive skin. “You’ve been teasing me all day in those tiny shorts, princess.”
“I wasn’t teasing,” I whispered, but my voice trembled with anticipation. My nipples tightened against the thin fabric of my tank top.
“Liar.” One large hand slid under my tank top, cupping my breast and pinching the nipple lightly. I gasped, arching into his touch. “You’ve been wet for me since the kitchen this morning. I could smell it on you.”
His other hand slipped into my shorts, fingers finding me already slick and aching. He stroked through my folds slowly, teasing my clit until my knees weakened.
“Marcus… we shouldn’t..”
“Call me Daddy when we’re alone,” he
corrected, voice rough and commanding. Two thick fingers pushed inside me, curling perfectly against that sensitive spot. “And tell me the truth. Do you want me to stop?”
I moaned softly, hips rocking against his hand.
“No… don’t stop.”
“Good girl.”
He spun me around, lifting me effortlessly onto the kitchen counter. My shorts and panties were yanked down in one motion, leaving me exposed. Marcus dropped to his knees, spreading my thighs wide.
“Been thinking about tasting this pretty pussy all day,” he growled before burying his face between my legs.
His tongue licked broad stripes up my slit, then circled my clit with firm pressure. I cried out, fingers tangling in his dark hair as he devoured me like a starving man. He sucked my clit into his mouth, two fingers thrusting deep inside me, curling and stroking until pleasure coiled tight and fast.
“Come for Daddy, sweetheart,” he commanded against my flesh. “Let me taste how sweet you are when you fall apart.”
I came hard, thighs shaking around his head as waves of ecstasy crashed over me. My cry echoed in the quiet kitchen while my pussy pulsed against his tongue. He licked me through every tremor, greedy for every drop.
Only when I was trembling and oversensitive did he stand, freeing his thick, hard cock from his pants. The head was already leaking precum as he stroked himself once, eyes burning with hunger.
“Watch me take you,” he said, positioning himself at my entrance. “Watch how perfectly you take Daddy’s cock.”
He thrust in deep in one powerful stroke, stretching me deliciously. I gasped at the fullness, still sensitive from the orgasm. He set a steady, deep rhythm, hips snapping against mine, the sound of skin slapping skin filling the kitchen.
“You feel so fucking good,” he groaned, one hand gripping my hip while the other pinched my nipple. “So tight. So wet for me. Come again, princess. Come on my cock like the good girl you are.”
The angle hit perfectly with every thrust. Pleasure built rapidly. I came a second time, walls clenching rhythmically around his thick shaft as I moaned his name or rather, “Daddy” the word slipping out naturally in the heat of the moment.
Marcus’s control finally snapped. With a deep, guttural growl, he buried himself to the hilt and came hard, spilling hot and thick inside me. His cock pulsed as he filled me, grinding deep as if he wanted every drop to stay.
We stayed locked together, panting. He kissed me softly, almost tenderly, then rested his forehead against mine.
“This is dangerous,” I whispered, reality creeping back in. “If Mom finds out…”
“We’ll be careful,” he promised, voice low. “But I’m not giving you up, Lila. Not after feeling how perfectly you fit me. Not after hearing you come so sweetly for Daddy.”
He helped me down from the counter, cleaning me gently with a warm cloth before pulling my shorts back up. Then he carried me to my bedroom, laying me on the bed and curling his big body around mine.
For the first time since catching Jake and Mia, I felt safe. Wanted. Cherished.
We didn’t have sex again that night, not fully. Instead, Marcus held me, his fingers tracing lazy patterns on my skin while we talked in low voices.
He told me about his business, the companies he owned, the long hours, the pressure. I told him about college, about how Jake’s betrayal had shattered my confidence. He listened, really listened, his hand stroking my hair.
“You’re stronger than you know, sweetheart,” he murmured. “And you deserve someone who sees how special you are.”
By the time Mom’s text came saying she was staying over at her friend’s place, we had already fallen into a comfortable, dangerous rhythm. Marcus’s hand rested possessively on my hip as we lay in my bed.
“Stay with me tonight,” I whispered.
He kissed my forehead. “I’m not going anywhere.”
The next morning, we woke tangled together. Marcus made breakfast while I showered, and when Mom finally returned mid-morning, we acted perfectly normal polite stepfather-to-be and stepdaughter.
But every glance across the room carried secret heat. Every accidental brush of hands sent sparks through me.
Mom announced happily that Marcus would officially move in by the end of the week. “We’ll be a family soon!”
Family.
The word should have made me feel guilty.
Instead, it sent a forbidden thrill through me.
That night, with Mom asleep in her room down the hall, Marcus slipped into my bedroom after midnight.
He didn’t say a word. He simply locked the door, pulled me into his arms, and kissed me like he’d been starving for me all day.
This time, he took his time.
He stripped me slowly, worshipping every inch of my body with his mouth and hands. He made me come three times, first with his tongue, then with his fingers while whispering filthy praise, and finally on his cock while I rode him, his hands guiding my hips.
I came hardest the last time, crying out softly into his shoulder as pleasure overwhelmed me. Only then did he let himself go, filling me again with a deep groan.
Afterward, as we lay tangled and sweaty, he held me close.
“This is just the beginning, princess,” he whispered against my hair. “I’m going to take care of you. Heal every hurt Jake left behind. And I’m going to keep making you come until you can’t remember any man but me.”
I should have been terrified of how quickly this was escalating.
Instead, I curled closer to his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, and whispered back the words that sealed our dangeroussecret:
“I don’t want to remember anyone else, Daddy.” The forbidden line had been crossed completely.
The sharp pain hit me in the middle of the night like a sudden wave. I gasped and sat up in bed, clutching my side. It started low in my back and spread around to my belly, tightening hard. I breathed through it, counting the seconds. Then another one came five minutes later but stronger.“Marcus…” I shook his shoulder. “It’s time. The baby is coming.”He woke up instantly, eyes wide. “Okay, okay, breathe. I’ve got the bag ready.” He jumped out of bed and helped me stand. My legs shook as another contraction hit. I leaned on him heavily while he grabbed the hospital bag and my phone.The drive to the hospital felt longer than usual. Every bump in the road made me wince, it felt like I had to scream. Marcus drove fast but carefully, one hand on the wheel and the other holding mine. “You’re doing great, princess. We’re almost there. Just keep breathing like they taught us.”At the hospital the nurses rushed to me and took me straight to the labor room. They checked me and said I was a
It had been four months since Marcus came back into my life. True to his word, he hadn’t left my side. He worked from home now so he could stay close. Still, every morning when I woke up, a small fear lingered in my chest — that today might be the day he disappears again. But he was always there.My bump was big now. Very visible. We were expecting our little bean any time soon. Marcus barely let me do anything around the house. He handled the cooking, cleaning, and even made sure I rested most of the day.Two weeks ago, David got married to his girlfriend. They left for their honeymoon right after. Before he went, he promised to visit once the baby arrived. He said he would be the godfather. I smiled when he said that. He had earned it.Two months ago, when Marcus went back to finalize the divorce with Esther, I was sure he wouldn’t return. But he kept checking on me through video calls every single day. Esther sent me some threatening messages during that time, but I ignored them al
The next day dragged on slowly. I went through my morning like a robot — shower, dress, eat a little, then head to the cafe for another shift. My body felt heavy but I pushed through the orders and cleaning. David texted me once to check in, but I kept my replies short. I didn’t mention Marcus. Not yet.By evening I was back home, exhausted. I changed into comfortable clothes and sat on the couch trying to rest. My chest started feeling tight. At first I thought it was just stress from the past few days. I stood up to get water but the tightness got worse. Sharp pain spread across my chest. I tried to breathe deeply but it felt like something was squeezing my lungs.I grabbed the table for support. My vision blurred at the edges. “Not now,” I muttered. The room started spinning. I took two shaky steps toward the door before my legs gave out. I fell to my knees, gasping for air. My heart pounded too fast, like it was trying to break out. I couldn’t get enough oxygen. Panic hit me hard.
“Princess, please open the door.”I woke up to Marcus’s voice. My neck hurt from sleeping against the wall all night. I thought he would have left by now, but he was still out there. I checked my phone. It was past 3 AM. I sat there rubbing my eyes and stretching my stiff back. My bump felt heavy after the long day at the funeral. I stood up slowly and walked to the door.I went ahead and opened itMarcus was leaning against the wall opposite. He looked worn out, with tired eyes and messy hair. He straightened up fast when he saw me. We just stared at each other for a few seconds without saying anything.“You’re still here,” I said.“I told you I wasn’t leaving.” He took one step closer. “Can I come in?”I moved aside and let him enter. Then I closed the door and locked it. The apartment felt too small with him standing there. I crossed my arms over my chest and stayed near the door.Marcus looked straight at my bump. It was showing clearly now under my loose t-shirt. “You’re really
Marcus stood at the door staring at me but I closed the door back and locked it. I didn’t want to say anything. I had too many questions in my head but I couldn’t stand looking at his face right now.“Go away! I don’t want to see you!” I shouted from inside. My heart was beating so fast it felt like it might jump out of my chest.So after everything, after months of silence, he decided to show up here. On what ground? Today of all days — the day I buried my mother. The nerve.“Lila please open the door,” he called, knocking again. The sound echoed through the apartment.“Go back! I don’t want to see your stupid face!” I screamed, pacing from the door to the couch and back, my hands shaking. Part of me wanted to call David and tell him to come back. He would handle this. But what would I even say? That Marcus is back and I don’t want him? Or that deep down I still wanted to open the door and run into his arms like nothing happened?I stopped in the middle of the room and pressed my b
Before we got to the venue, the sun had already set, leaving the sky a dark shade of grey that matched the heaviness in my chest.What surprised me was the number of people gathered there.I didn’t recognize most of them.Men in black suits. Women holding tissues. Some standing in small groups, whispering quietly, while others simply stared ahead in silence.For a moment, I just stood there, gripping the edge of David’s sleeve.I had never met my mom's coworkers before.I never really asked about her life outside our home.And now I was realizing just how much of her world I had never been part of.The thought made my chest tighten painfully.David stayed close beside me, not saying much, just silently supporting me as we walked inside.The hall was dimly lit. White flowers lined the entrance, their scent soft but suffocating. At the center of the room stood the coffin.I stopped breathing for a second.My legs almost gave out.David gently steadied me, but I couldn’t take my eyes off
