LOGINWhy the fuck do bad things happen to me? I feel like I just attract them. Because how the hell did I find myself in this predicament?
I thought and thought about what I really wanted to do, and if I even had a choice in the matter. I really, really didn’t want Dad to see or even know about the pictures. He would be so pissed. Last time he caught me sexting, he threatened to take away my college fund. “A lady doesn’t act that way,” he had said when he reprimanded me. If he found out I was doing it again, damn... Not just sexting this time, sending photos. Nude photos!! To his friend and business partner for fuxks sake! I'd be disowned for sure! So, I took my clothes off, knelt on the floor, and looked into the camera. My nipples were hard. My stomach was sucked in. My lips were pursed. I needed the picture to be perfect because I really, really didn’t want to retake it again for him. After I sent the stupid picture, I lay on my bed. My pussy throbbed at the thought of him in his meeting, dick hard against his pants. Him trying to hide his hard-on in front of Dad. Fuck. That was even more dirty than if his son had seen them. Even now, I couldn't quite tell which I preferred. I pushed my hand in my pants, teasing my clit. Fucking hell, everything about it was so confusing and so fucking hot. A few hours passed, and he didn’t text me back. I hoped that was enough to keep him over and to keep his mouth shut. FOREVER! At seven p.m. sharp, Dad yelled upstairs to me, “Amara, the Williams are here.” I grabbed my phone and smoothed out my conservative navy-blue dress. Making sure all of the goodies were covered up. I didn’t want Mr. Williams to get the wrong idea, especially with my family at the dinner table. When I walked down the stairs, my heart was pounding against my chest. Everyone was already sitting at the dinner table, waiting for me. As soon as I stepped into the room, Mr. Williams’s blue eyes pierced through mine. His cream sweater hugged his body. Lord have mercy. Bad-boy Kelvin was eying me, giving me that look he always did. Deep. Dark. Dangerous. Yet all I could think about was how I took a picture of myself, sitting on my knees, breasts on full display, and eyes wide, looking like I was waiting for his father’s cock. My cheeks flushed, and I sat down next to him at the table. Only wishing that this dinner would go as smoothly as every other one had. But of course, things never went as planned. Halfway through dinner, my phone buzzed in my lap. My heart jumped in my chest when I saw the message from Mr Williams on the scroll bar. Mr. Williams: Put your vibrator inside of you. I stared, wide-eyed, at the phone and gazed up at Mr. Williams to see him in conversation with my dad. Me: I don’t have a vibrator. After I replied, I went back to talking to Kelvin. Who had still not noticed what was going on between I and his father. From the corner of my eye, I watched Mr. Williams look down at his phone and glance at me. I averted my gaze immediately. The thrill of everything was getting to me. I knew his eyes were still on me, because I could feel the burning, heated gaze. He didn’t respond. Instead, he cleared his throat. “Steve,” he said, looking at my dad, “did you know that your daughter has excellent photography skills?” My head snapped right to him, just as my eyes widened as I glared at him, shock running through my veins. He smirked. Fuck him! Dad smiled. “No, I didn’t. That's news to me. You’re interested in photography, sweetie?” Oh, fuck me. And fuck the maniac sitting before me, smirking like he just played a winning hand in a game of chess. I forced a smile on my face. “Yes.” “Why haven’t we seen any of your work, sweetie? Shouldn't you share your work? With us? I could even help out, you know... Publisize it, put it out there so others can see it too. You don't want to share them? he asked. I clenched my jaw, anger boiling inside of me. Why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why. WHY? Why did he have to do this now? “I like keeping it to myself,” I stated, hopinghe would drop the subject. “I have some of her pictures, if you would like to see them,” Mr. Williams started.“Kneel.”She froze. Just for a breath."Now"Then slowly, like a trembling flame bowing to the wind, Aria dropped to her knees before him.God.The sight of her... submitting, surrendering, spine straight but hands trembling... made something primal roar awake inside him. His chest rose with a deep inhale, but he didn’t move. Not yet. He wanted to savor this. The sweet, slow crumble of her resistance.“I told you not to run,” he murmured, voice low and lethal.Her lashes fluttered but she didn’t look away. Her mouth opened like she wanted to say something... defend herself, maybe. But she must’ve thought better of it.Good girl.“Did he make you come?” Cole asked, crouching in front of her.The question sliced through the thick air like a knife. She blinked. Her mouth parted in shock, then clamped shut.He didn’t need an answer. Her blush told him everything. The shame in her eyes. The flicker of guilt behind her defiance.Cole leaned closer, one hand coming to rest on her jaw, forci
Aria's POVShe shouldn’t have looked.But something...some pull she didn’t want to name... had drawn her gaze like a thread, taut and trembling, right to where he stood.Cole.Her breath hitched. His eyes were already on her. Watching her like he had never stopped. Like he knew what she had been doing. Who she'd been with. The shame came first. Then the heat. It bloomed under her skin and settled low in her belly.He didn’t move. Just stared.God, she hated that he had this effect on her.Elias had just left her with one last lingering kiss, his soft words still ringing in her ear, but it was Cole she felt. The weight of his presence. The sharpness of his attention. It was like walking into a flame she couldn’t see but could feel, licking at her skin with every step she took.Her fingers curled tightly around the hem of her coat. She could still feel Elias’s hands on her. Could still taste the wine, the honey-sweet afterglow of his touch.And yet Cole’s gaze was the one burning throug
He didn’t sleep that night.He didn’t even go home.After Aria disappeared into that car, Cole went back inside The Velvet Room, walked straight past the dancers and the polished wood bars, down into the lower wing—a place few members ever saw. It wasn’t part of the club. Not really. It was his sanctuary. His temple of control.A locked room at the end of a private corridor.Cold steel. Low lights. A chair bolted to the center of the floor. Shelves of implements lined with precision. And in the corner—his journal. A black leather notebook with only one name on the first page now:Aria.He sat for hours. Didn’t touch a damn thing. Just stared at the blank space beneath her name, the pen poised in his gloved hand.She had let someone else touch her. That shouldn’t have mattered. The club was built for that kind of freedom. And Elias was harmless. Gentle, even.But Cole had seen it in her eyes the last time they were together—in the tremble of her voice when she said “Yes, Sir,” in the fl
Cole had been watching from the balcony.One floor above, behind smoked glass, he stood in his usual tailored black, a tumbler of bourbon forgotten in his hand. The club throbbed with dim red light and soft moans below, shadows of bodies flickering across velvet walls. But his eyes never left her.Aria.Hair a little messy. Lips swollen. Walk uneven—subtle, but not to him. She was trying to be discreet, trying to mask the aftermath of a good fucking. That would’ve amused him… if it wasn’t someone else who had given it to her.His jaw clenched, the muscle twitching under the weight of restraint. He didn’t move, didn’t blink. Just watched her. Her fingertips trailed along the gold rail by the staircase. Her dress was different from earlier. Not her choice. Elias had likely brought it in for her.Of course it was Elias. Soft-spoken, painfully polite Elias, with his tender little commands and slow caresses. The kind of Dominant who whispered things like "Good girl" and meant it in a nurtu
Aria could not sleep... Could not think, could not get her mind to wrap around the difference between Cole and Elias. Either way, she knew she needed to go back again. For Elias.Maybe it was her. Maybe it was Elias.Maybe it was the soft way she’d left the last time—barefoot and wrapped in silence, feeling like a balloon Elias had carefully untied instead of popped.She told herself she shouldn’t come again.And then she found herself standing in the lounge, scanning the room for him.Not Cole. Elias. And there he was.In the same seat. Same black slacks. Different shirt—gray this time, sleeves still rolled. His hands were folded in his lap, not clutching a drink, just waiting. When his eyes lifted to hers, he smiled like he already knew she’d show.“Aria,” he said as she approached.“Hi.”She sat before she could think. No games. No small talk.She leaned in. “Can I lie on you tonight?”Elias’s eyes softened.“You can do anything you want.”And that’s how it started. No rules. No r
The next time Aria returned to The Velvet Room, she wasn’t sure why she was there.Cole hadn’t summoned her. Hadn’t left a note, a text, a whisper through staff. And yet… she came anyway.She wore red this time. Tight, elegant. Still no panties. Her body still ached from their last session, but more than that, it remembered him. The weight of his hands. His mouth. His voice.She didn’t know if she wanted more of it, or if she simply didn’t know where else to go.But when she entered the lounge, he wasn’t there.Instead, she was greeted by a soft-spoken woman in a gold corset. Not a handler—something else. She approached quietly, and offered Aria a warm, knowing smile.“Cole isn’t seeing anyone tonight.”Aria’s stomach sank before she could stop herself.“Oh.”“But there’s someone else. He… asked about you.”That surprised her.“Who?”The woman tilted her head toward a booth in the corner. “He’s quiet... A little different, but safe.”Aria hesitated. Then followed her gaze.He sat alon
