  • Don’t Make Me Love You   AN OLD DEBT

    Mason’s POV📍ITALYThe evening had settled into that particular kind of quiet I’d come to love about this house, the one that only showed up once the staff had gone home and the sound of the city outside had faded into something distant and forgettable. My study faced the garden, and through the tall windows I could see the last of the light catching the olive trees my late wife had insisted on planting years ago, back when this place was still new to both of us. I never had the heart to take them out, even after everything.I sat behind my desk with a glass of red wine I hadn’t touched in a while, my laptop open in front of me, working through a report from one of the smaller vineyards I’d taken an interest in over the past year. It wasn’t glamorous work, nothing like the perfume houses or the fashion investments that had made my name decades ago, but there was something calming about numbers that behaved themselves, about soil reports and rainfall averages and the simple, honest ma

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   WHAT HE WARNED ME ABOUT

    Adrian’s POVThe drive home felt longer than it should have, my mind circling back again and again to the way Lily had acted in my office earlier that day. Something about her had felt off, though I couldn't put a name to it. She'd been too composed in the moments that should have rattled anyone else, calm in a way that felt almost rehearsed, and then oddly reactive in places that made no real sense given everything else. She'd handed me a way out of losing the farmland and then, within the same conversation, seemed to take some quiet satisfaction in watching me squirm over the price of it. I couldn't explain the shift between the two. I only knew it sat wrong with me, the way a wrong note sits wrong in a song you've heard a hundred times before and know by heart.I told myself I was overthinking it. That stress could make anyone act strange, and Lily had more than her fair share of it lately, working under a boss whose company was bleeding money in public, whose name kept surfacing n

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   EXPOSED

    Lily’s POVI shut the door to Adrian's office and let out a breath of relief I hadn't realized I'd been holding in for so long. A small, satisfied smile tugged at the corners of my lips as I tucked my hair behind my ears. The satisfaction I felt from what had just happened was still fresh, and I was feeling every bit of it. If I'd known it would feel this good, I would have moved on with my plans much sooner, regardless of whatever feelings I might have been carrying for him.If only I'd known. I wouldn't have waited this long. But maybe there was a reason things had taken this much time to line up the way they finally had. My heels clicked softly against the floor as I walked down the hallway, running into Ellyn. She had been a little too present around me lately, enough to seem suspicious if she was somehow connected to Adrian in a way beyond work. But as far as I knew, their relationship had always stayed professional. So for now, she seemed clean in my eyes.The files in her hands

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   HELD CAPTIVE

    Lily’s POV"Impossible!" He thundered, his eyes shooting daggers at me. "I will never let this happen, Lily."I stood from my seat and paced around the office, trying to get some air into my lungs. It was true that I was enjoying his reaction more than I probably should have, but him outright telling me it was impossible to give my father's own family what they deserved had started to genuinely piss me off. He didn't even know what he was saying no to. He didn't know whose blood ran through the person sitting across from him, negotiating on behalf of the very man he'd wronged."Adrian, did you just say it's impossible to give him what he wants?" I asked, turning to face him fully. He was fuming, his chest rising and falling like he'd just run somewhere. "You talk like you don't know business anymore," I said, and that clearly landed under his skin."Lily, you don't get to tell me how to react to being handed complete nonsense." He yelled, his voice bouncing off the glass walls of his o

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   NEVER ENOUGH

    Damian’s POVFlashback…I had stopped believing that someone would come for me.It hadn't always been that way. When I first came to the orphanage, I used to get excited whenever a car pulled into the compound. I would run to the window with the other children and try to see who was inside. Sometimes it was a family coming to meet the children, and whenever that happened, I would spend the whole morning wondering if they would choose me.I always made sure I looked my best.The matrons would tell us to behave ourselves whenever visitors came, so I tried. I kept my hands in my lap, answered their questions politely, and smiled whenever they spoke to me. If they asked whether I liked school, I said yes. If they asked whether I liked helping around the orphanage, I said yes to that too.I thought maybe there was something I had to do to make them want me.But they never did.One by one, the children around me left.I watched them pack their little bags while the matrons helped them fold

    Lily’s POVThree Months Later…Damian hadn't spoken to me since Adrian's sudden, unwelcome visit to my house long weeks ago. For a whole three months, he'd been sleeping wherever the day left him, his office more often than not, and if that told me anything, it told me what I'd done was unforgivable. I had hurt him beyond repair, if I was honest with myself. Somehow he had figured out that I had said yes to him in the first place because I was trying to get over my feelings for Adrian, and what hurt him even more, what left him disappointed in me, was that of all men, I hadn't just fallen for Adrian Hastings, my father's much older ex-best friend, I'd also had his thick cock deep inside me, more than once, and enjoyed every fucking second of it.It was Monday, and I'd just arrived at Adrian Atelier. I turned quickly the moment I spotted Adrian heading out through the hallway that led to the lobby. Avoiding him these past months had never been easy. For a full month he'd worked from ho

    Lily’s POVI woke up to beeping sounds I could not make out. My eyes felt too heavy to open all at once, but I forced them apart slowly and looked around. Strange faces I had never seen moved to and fro at every corner of the room. The air smelled of antiseptic and medicine. That smell gave me a sm

It contained detailed information about Adrian’s whereab
