ELISE

It’s finally the big day.

I’ve flooded my system with strong painkillers just to make sure everything goes according to plan.

I could barely open my eyes this morning, let alone move. Every muscle screams in protest, like I’ve been taken apart and stitched back together wrong.

The throbbing between my legs has only worsened. It’s so swollen that walking feels like punishment. And my skin... I don’t even want to look at it.

The stylists buzz around me with caffeinated energy, carefully sliding the backup wedding dress over my head.

The silk feels cold on my skin, totally unforgiving. This isn't the dress I picked out last month, that one's hanging in the closet collecting dust, its gorgeous beadwork deemed "too slutty" by Alexander after our last fitting.

Sunlight pours through the huge windows of the bridal suite, making everything glow with false perfection.

"Arms up, Miss Blackwood," the head stylist says cheerfully. "We need to make sure the bodice sits perfectly."

    ELISENatasha materializes through the crowd, her crimson gown drawing attention like a flame.She positions herself strategically within Alexander's sight line, making sure he notices her every movement."Alexander," she purrs, ignoring my presence entirely. "That display was absolutely breathtaking. Your father has outdone himself.""Dad knows important occasions deserve memorable celebrations," Alexander responds as his eyes linger on her longer than propriety allows.He leans toward her magnetic pull, his body betraying what his words conceal. The chemistry between them crackles with intensity, visible to anyone paying attention.Vivienne watches this exchange with sharp eyes. Nothing escapes her notice—not Alexander's lingering gaze, not Natasha's possessive stance, not the history evident in their familiar interaction. Yet she says nothing.Her silence speaks volumes. She's fine with this affair despite her obsession with appearances. Of course Natasha is just the mistress. I'm

    ELISEThe grand ballroom transforms into a theater of wealth and power. All eyes turn toward the centerpiece of the evening: a towering seven-tier cake that stands like a monument to excess. Delicate sugar flowers cascade down its pristine white surface, interspersed with edible gold leaf that catches the light with each rotation of the display platform. Some poor pastry chef probably hasn't slept in weeks creating this monstrosity.I’m pulled away from my father less than two minutes after he unknowingly shielded me from Natasha’s scrutiny.Alexander looks impatient as he guides me through the crowd with a firm hand at my lower back.His touch feels possessive rather than supportive, subtly reminding me of my role in this elaborate production.The pain medication begins to fade, allowing sharper sensations to break through. Each step toward the cake needs more concentration than the last."Smile," Alexander murmurs through barely moving lips. "Everyone important is watching."The cro

    ELISEThe elevator doors slide open with a soft chime, revealing the glittering ballroom beyond.The gala's still in full swing.Classical music mixes with fake laughter, creating a bubble of high-society nonsense that feels like it belongs to another planet now. Nothing about this polished scene excites me. Ella squeezes my arm before stepping away."Remember to breathe," she whispers. "I'll be watching from a distance."I nod, grateful yet terrified.The painkillers have dulled the worst of my physical pain, creating a weird disconnect between my brain and my body's trauma. Nothing, though, can numb the anxiety running through my veins like ice water.Each step feels like wading through quicksand, my body remembering violations my mind's trying desperately to forget.The crowd parts slightly, revealing Alexander across the room.He stands rigid among business associates while scanning the entrance with barely hidden impatience.The moment he spots me, his expression shifts from irr

    ELISEI grab the bottle from Ella's hand without hesitation. The childproof cap resists my weakened grip for several agonizing seconds before finally yielding."Elise, wait—" Ella starts, concern etching deeper lines around her eyes.I ignore her warning and shake two white pills into my palm, then toss them into my mouth without water. The bitter taste floods my tongue. Still I swallow hard, desperate for relief from the constant throbbing that reminds me of every moment spent in his office.My body propels forward with sudden urgency, pushing past the pain still radiating through every limb.The bathroom beckons like a sanctuary where I might reconstruct some semblance of the woman who walked into this building over an hour ago."I need to shower.” My voice sounds foreign to my own ears. "Alone."Ella hovers by the doorway with concern evident in her expression. "Are you sure? You seem unsteady.""I'm sure." My tone leaves no room for argument. "Just... have the dress ready for when

    ELISEKieran’s grips my hips like he’s trying to brand himself into me, thrusting through his climax with ragged intensity until we’re both trembling.Our mixed fluid drips slowly down my thighs, sticky and slick.My legs give way beneath me and I collapse on the desk. Each desperate breath makes my chest heave.Humiliation washes over me while I lie there, exposed and used.My body hurts everywhere as the pain spreads through every inch of me. Still, underneath all this discomfort, I feel a weird sense of accomplishment mixed with my shame. Whatever just happened was worth it for what I got in return!I try to push myself up when my arms and legs shake from exhaustion.Just getting to my knees takes everything I have.I reach for my purse on the floor, dig through it until I find my buzzing phone.Ella's name lights up the screen. I can feel her worry through each missed notification.My fingers tremble as I type: "Coming now."Then I look up and see Kieran watching me.He's already

    ELISEKieran stands tall before me, his grip firm on the whip with the predator’s gleam still glinting in his gaze. There’s no warmth in it. Only calculation, hunger, and cruel amusement.His shirt remains smooth, revealing parts of the lean muscle of his chest and the ridges of his abdomen flexing with each breath.Then it snaps through the air without warning.The sharp sting lands directly across my clit.“Fuck!!” I cry out, my body jolting upward as if struck by lightning, accompanied by the heat that floods my limbs.The pain is laced with pleasure so fierce it feels like it's tearing something loose inside me.My core clenches violently around nothing, aching, empty, yet burning.Another strike. Then another.Each one is precise. Measured. Kieran knows exactly where to land them… where I’m soft, swollen, drenched.My bud swells with every lash. It’s no longer hidden but fully exposed, engorged and sensitive to the point of agony.Kieran watches me closely. Too closely. His pupil

    ELISEMy body accommodates him, entirely helpless against the relentless rhythm of his savage thrusts.The constant pressure of his thick length plunging deep inside sends electric waves through me. My toes curl and legs tighten just to stay standing.His movements are unyielding and merciless. My face scraps across the desk with each powerful jabs, making my cheeks grow red and raw from friction.I bite down hard on my lip guard, stifling moans that threaten to reveal my struggle. I'm not sure what I'm fighting against, but deep down, I refuse to make any more lewd sounds in this room where dignity seems forgotten.Smack! Another brutal strike rocks into my soft flesh under his grip and my curvy butt bears red imprints from his fingers. My shoulder blades strain upwards like butterfly wings from exertion while black hairs spread messily across my back, swaying helplessly with his movements, creating a stunning tableau of black against flesh.Between my legs blazes red from his pound

    ELISEI lose track of time, feeling as if my jaw might dislocate.My fingers dig deeper into his abdomen as I struggle to maintain consciousness through the darkness threatening at the edges of my vision.Saliva and his essence leak from where my lips stretch around him, soaking his skin before dripping down my chin on my breasts. Yet Kieran shows no mercy.His suffocating length pounds into my mouth like a merciless piston. He shows no concern for my gagging or muffled cries.One of his hand twists in my long hair while his hips snap forward brutally, claiming every inch of my mouth with savage thrusts.I’m in agony. It feels like my throat will tear, like someone is striking the back of my head with a club. But I can't fight back… I can only keep my mouth open as he takes what he wants with brutal force.I kneel there coughing for a long time when he releases me at last.My face is a mess, drenched in saliva with my skin reddened and raw from his coarse hair rubbing against it.Kiera
