LOGINI should’ve left right after.
I should’ve pulled on my clothes, run out of the house, and pretended none of it ever happened. That I hadn’t let my best friend’s father bury himself inside me. That I hadn’t loved it. But I didn’t leave. Because when he kissed me again, slow and filthy, his fingers still between my legs, I realized I didn’t want to. Mr. Callahan. . . Daniel. . . was addictive. And I was already hooked. I stayed the night. We didn’t sleep. He had me on the bed, then against the door. On the floor. Even in the shower when we tried to cool off and failed. I lost count of how many times he made me come. How many times had he whispered things in my ear that no man ever had. “You’re mine now. No one touches you but me.” I knew it was dangerous. That we were playing with fire. But I also knew I would burn for him a thousand times over. The next morning, I slipped downstairs in nothing but his T-shirt and nothing underneath, skin still tingling, thighs sore. The scent of coffee filled the kitchen, and I found him shirtless again, leaning on the counter like a sin I hadn’t confessed yet. He looked up and smiled like I belonged there. “I made you breakfast.” “You keep feeding me,” I murmured, stepping into his arms. He pulled me into his lap like it was second nature. “I plan to keep you well-fed,” he said, kissing my neck. “And well-fucked.” I laughed into his shoulder, cheeks flushing. “I’m serious, Emma. You’re not some one time mistake. I want more than last night.” I leaned back, surprised by the seriousness in his tone. “I’m not just Ava’s dad,” he said. “I’m also a man who hasn’t wanted anything real in a long time. Until you.” My heart stuttered. “But this is… complicated.” “It doesn’t have to be.” His hand slid up my bare thigh. “You’re not a child. You’re not my child. And Ava’s gone for the next six months.” “But when she comes back” “We will deal with that when it happens.” His hand reached higher, he found my pussy. I gasped. “Still so wet for me.” “Daniel” “I want you upstairs,” he said. “On your knees. Mouth open.” “Here?” I breathed. He stood, picking me up with ease. “No,” he growled. “Now.” Ten minutes later, I was kneeling on the bed, naked, thighs pressed together for any kind of friction. He stood in front of me, slowly stroking himself while watching me squirm. “You don’t know what you do to me,” he murmured. I leaned forward, licking the head of his cock. I feel his breath hitched. “Don’t tease me, baby. Take it.” I opened my mouth and wrapped my lips around him. He groaned and sank deeper, fingers in my hair as I sucked him slowly, deliberately, moaning around him. “That’s it,” he hissed. “Such a good mouth.” I worked him harder, faster, loving the way his body tensed because of what I was doing to him. His hips began to move in shallow thrusts. Controlled, but hungry. “You gonna swallow me like a good girl?” I nodded. He growled and pushed deeper into my mouth. I took him all, throat relaxing, eyes watering, but I didn’t stop. I loved the power of having him come undone because of me. His grip tightened in my hair. “I’m gonna come! fuck! Emma!” He spilled into my mouth with a groan, hips jerking. I swallowed every drop, licking him clean. When I looked up, his eyes were wild. “You’re gonna be the death of me.” I smiled, wiping my mouth. “Then die happy.” For the next two weeks, we couldn’t get enough of each other. I stopped by under the pretense of “grabbing more boxes” or “feeding Ava’s cat” until those excuses no longer mattered. Daniel started texting me, telling me when he wanted me, and where. He came to my apartment one night and bent me over my kitchen counter. I saw him in his car outside my campus, dragging me into the backseat before I could say hello. He pulled my panties down and slid inside me, hand over my mouth so I wouldn’t scream his name too loud. The secrecy only made it hotter. Every glance across the dinner table. Every stolen touch. Every time he pinned me against the wall before I could say no, and made me come so hard I forgot my own name. I was falling. Fast and Deep. And I didn’t know how to stop it. But the obsession went both ways. One night, I was out with classmates, nothing serious. Just drinks and studying. But when I didn’t answer my phone for an hour, Daniel showed up at the bar. He didn’t care that my friends were there. He found me near the back booth and dragged me out by the wrist. “What the hell are you doing?” I hissed, stumbling after him in heels. “You didn’t answer me,” he growled, pushing me against his car. “I was studying, Daniel.” “You were with guys.” “And?” He slammed his hand on the car behind me. Not hard. Just enough to make me jump. “And You’re mine, Emma.” “That doesn’t mean you get to act like you own me” “I do own you,” he snapped. “You gave yourself to me. I’ve been inside you more times than I can count. I know how you taste. I know how you sound when you fall apart. And I know no other man will ever touch you again.” I stared at him, chest rising and falling. “You’re jealous.” “I’m possessive.” Then he opened the passenger door. “Get in.” “Why?” “Because if I fuck you against the hood of my car, your friends are gonna see.” My pulse exploded. I got in. He didn’t drive home. He drove to a dark street, parked, and pulled me into his lap right there. “Ride me.” I straddled him, hiking my dress up and lowering onto him in one motion. He filled me completely, and I gasped against his shoulder. His hands gripped my hips, guiding me up and down. “You make me crazy,” he muttered. “I should’ve walked away the moment you moaned my name.” “I don’t want you to walk away.” He thrust harder, deeper, until the windows fogged and the car rocked. “I’ll never walk away,” he promised. “You’re mine now. And I don’t share.”Moh’s POV The morning light the next blasted me while making it feel like a physical weight. It was too bright, too honest for a house built on shadows. I had dressed with trembling fingers, putting on a thin, white cotton dress that felt like a shroud over my body. Around my neck, the silver locket, the secret-keeper clinked against my skin. It was a heavy, cold reminder of the previous night in the attic. I felt different, my body is different. My body was a map of Julian’s possession. My inner thighs were tender, my skin was sensitive, and there was a deep, dull ache in my core that felt like a permanent mark. I was no longer the girl who had arrived here a few weeks ago. That girl was gone, buried under the weight of Julian’s body. When I walked into the breakfast room, the air was surrounded by the scent of fresh coffee and expensive flowers, which my mother must have made sure were provided. My mother was already there, looking perfect in a silk robe. Julian was at the head o
Moh’s POV The attic was not like the rest of the manor. While the lower floors were a testament to Julian’s public-facing power, all marble, mahogany, and vast, open spaces, the attic was cramped, sweltering, and smelled of dust, old cedar, and the sharp tang of linseed oil. It was a graveyard for the things the Thorne family had outgrown, a labyrinth of draped furniture and stacked crates. But it was neat! As much as it could be. And at the very end of the narrow hallway sat the "secondary study." It was a small, circular room at the base of the manor’s north turret. There were no grand bookshelves here, only a single, heavy drafting table and a low, velvet chaise longue that looked like it belonged in a nineteenth-century brothel. The windows were small, diamond-paned, and currently glowing with the bruised purple of twilight. I stood in the doorway, my pulse a frantic drumbeat in my ears. The silence up here was absolute. The rest of the house felt like it was miles away. "You
Moh’s POV The porcelain of the bathtub felt like ice against my skin, but I didn't turn on the hot water. I needed the chill. I needed to scrub the scent of Julian, that intoxicating mix of expensive sandalwood and raw, spent lust, off my body before my mother walked through the front door. Every movement was a struggle. My inner thighs were tender, the skin chafed from the friction of his trousers, and there was a heavy, persistent ache deep in my pelvis that made my legs tremble. I looked at myself in the mirror, horrified to find my lips weren't just swollen, they were bitten, a dark, bruised red that no amount of lip balm could hide. I heard the crunch of gravel outside. The Mercedes. My heart leapt into my throat, like a frantic and a trapped bird. "Moh! Julian! I'm home!" My mother’s voice drifted up the stairs, bright and buoyant, slicing through the thick, illicit atmosphere of the house like a sharp tool. I threw on a high-necked sweater, even though the morning was warm
Moh’s POV The smell of old leather and Julian’s sharp, masculine musk swirled around me as he pinned me against the bookshelf. The spines of the ancient books dug into my shoulder blades, a hard, unyielding reminder of where we were, and who he was. My breath was coming in short, panicked hitches, but my body was screaming for him to fill the void he had created. "Look at me, Moh," he commanded, his voice a low vibration that seemed to rattle my very bones. I looked. His face was a mask of dark, concentrated hunger. He didn't look like my mother’s husband, he looked like a man who had finally dropped the burden of civility. He reached down, his large hand cupping my heat, and then his fingers slid through the slickness between my folds that my pussy had produced while under his desk. "You are fucking shaking," he murmured as his thumb found my clitoris and applying a crushing, rhythmic pressure that made my knees give way. He caught me, his other arm hooking under my thigh and
Moh’s POV The shadows beneath the mahogany desk felt like a confessional, cramped and smelling of expensive leather and the faint, sharp scent of wood polish. I curled into the small space, my heart hammering so hard I feared he could hear it through the floorboards. From this vantage point, all I could see were his legs, long, powerful pillars clad in dark trousers, and the polished gleam of his shoes. The heavy thud of his leather chair settling above me signaled the start of my ordeal. Then came the click of the speakerphone on the desk's surface, followed by the sterile, professional chime of the dialing tone. "This is Julian," he said. His voice was different now, crystalline, cold, and utterly authoritative. It was the voice that moved markets and crushed competitors. It was impossible to reconcile this man with the one who had just told me I tasted like honey. "Good morning, Mr. Thorne," a chorus of voices responded from the speaker. "We have the Hong Kong representativ
Moh’s POV The early morning sunlight that filtered through the heavy velvet curtains of my bedroom felt like an intruder. I had spent the night in a fever dream, my skin still humming with the ghost of Julian’s touch. Every time I drifted off, I felt the phantom weight of his fingers in my sensitive parts, the rough silk of his voice against my ears, and the crushing realization of what I had become. I was a predator’s prize. And the worst part. . . the part that made me pull the duvet over my head in a fit of self-loathing, was how much I wanted to be caught again, so i could experience my punishment all over again. I dressed slowly, my body aching in places I had never felt before. There was a dull, throbbing heat between my thighs, a constant reminder of the way he had opened me up on that desk. I chose a simple sundress, something light and innocent, as if cotton and floral prints could mask the corruption blooming beneath my skin. As I walked down the grand staircase, the
