I stared at him, my breath hitching. Stay? The word echoed inside my head like a warning bell.

God, I wanted to. That was the most terrifying part of all. A small, reckless part of me wanted to forget the entire world outside the walls of his penthouse. I wanted to forget my morals, my responsibilities, and just stay right here, tangled in his sheets.

But reality always found a way to crash back in.

"My parents are waiting for me," I whispered, trying to pull back, though my body betrayed me

    "Come on, shorty. I haven't got the whole day." I picked up my phone and followed him out of the lounge. "So what do you miss about home?" "Food." I stopped walking. "I was thinking of a person" "Well, I was going to say seeing my beautiful little sister, but she's been particularly unpleasant." "Good. At least you still have some sense." He laughed, slipping an arm around my shoulders as we walked towards the hotel lobby. The evening breeze greeted us as soon as we stepped outside. Ibiza was beautiful, especially around this time of the evening. The streets were alive with tourists, music drifted from nearby restaurants, and the warm Mediterranean air carried that unmistakable holiday feeling. "So, how long are you staying?" I asked. "Depends." "On what?" "Whether my mother still remembers that she has a son." I snorted. "Oh, please. She would be thrilled. You know she wanted you more than she wanted me." He grinned. "Aww. Someone's jealous." "Keep dreaming." We appro

    The next morning came with a little more excitement than I'd anticipated.Mum had an early conference session, which meant I had the entire morning to myself. After breakfast, I decided to explore more of the hotel.I was halfway through replying to a message on my phone when I heard someone speaking from somewhere behind me."Well, well, well. Look what we have here."I stopped.That voice.I slowly turned around, and a familiar figure stood a few feet away.I blinked.No way.Of course, I knew who it was.It was Chase. Old, lovely Chase."Chase, what are you doing here?""Hey, that's no way to greet your brother"I pulled him into a big, tight hug.Man, he was now so damn muscular. It's been ages."Mirabella Castellano, the love of my life. Been forever.""How's my knight in a shining armor?""Just as you left him."So Chase is my half-brother. Mom had him with her first husband, Jones, before they divorced and she got married to Dad. He used to stay with us, but his dad remarried t

    The first thing I noticed when we arrived in Ibiza was the weather.The second was how beautiful everything looked.Even from the car, I could see the coastline stretching into the distance, the sparkling blue water and rows of palm trees lining the roads. The sun was brighter than what I was used to, and for the first time in days, I found myself genuinely looking forward to something."Beautiful, isn't it?" Mum asked from beside me.I leaned closer to the window."Very.""Wait until you see the hotel."I turned towards her. "You've been here before?""Once, a few years ago, with your father. We had a wonderful time, although he spent most of it trying to convince me that he could cook better than the hotel chef."I laughed."Please tell me you didn't let him near the kitchen.""Unfortunately, I did. Your father is very confident in his abilities.""That's a polite way of saying he's terrible."She burst out laughing.The drive continued for another fifteen minutes before the car fin

    Lucien: How are you?I stared at the message before replying.Me: I'm okay.His response came almost immediately.Lucien: That's not convincing.I sighed.Me: I'm fine, Lucien.Lucien: You don't have to keep saying that.I sat on the edge of the bed.There was something frustrating about how easily he could tell when I wasn't being honest.Me: My mum is going to Ibiza next week. She's attending a conference and wants me to come with her.This time, his reply took longer.Lucien: When?Me: Tuesday.Lucien: For how long?Me: Four days. I'll be back Sunday.Lucien: Okay.I stared at the screen.That was it?Just okay?I knew I shouldn't have expected him to argue or demand that I stay, but something about his response still bothered me.Me: You don't have anything to say?Lucien: Would you like me to tell you not to go?Me: I don't know.Lucien: BellaMe: What?Lucien: If you need a few days away, take them.I read the message twice.Me: You're not bothered?Lucien: I'm not particularly

    I didn't sleep.I tried. God knows I tried. I turned off the bedside lamp, pulled the duvet over my shoulders and closed my eyes, but every time I drifted off, something brought me straight back.Fiona's voice.Her words.The casual way she'd said it, as though she were telling me something insignificant.Two women before me.Two women who had stood in that same corner, picking out blindfolds, being taught things I was only just beginning to understand.And the worst part was that she hadn't even seemed particularly bothered by it.You replace them fast.I rolled onto my side and stared at the empty space beside me.Lucien had never made me feel like I was competing with anyone. At least, not until now. He had a way of making everything feel intentional, from the smallest things he did to the way he looked at me when he thought I wasn't paying attention.But how much of that was real?Had he treated the others the same way? Had he made them feel special too? Had they also believed the

    I woke up to the smell of coffee and sunlight filtering through the curtains. Lucien was already dressed. He sat in the armchair beside the window, wearing dark trousers and a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up. A cup of coffee rested in his hand, and his eyes were fixed on me. "How long have you been awake?" "A while." I narrowed my eyes. "That's creepy." He chuckled softly. "Perhaps." I stretched beneath the sheets, then immediately regretted it when I felt the soreness in my body. My cheeks warmed as memories of the previous night came rushing back. "What time is it?" "Nine." "On a Saturday? That's practically a crime." "Agreed." He placed his coffee on the small table and walked over, settling on the edge of the bed. "I've been thinking about something." I glanced at him. "Should I be worried?" "About what you said last night." My expression softened slightly. "Which part?" "Your request for me to teach you." My stomach fluttered. I hadn't expected him to brin
