LOGINAvery's POV.
I wanted to resist but Ryan had a way of making it hard to refuse.
His eyes were his seductive charm and he knew how to use them well. I slowly moved towards him, sitting on his thighs and he shifted me closer to his groin.
I gasped when I felt his hardness underneath my thighs.
His palm raked the sides of my body, and his lips bit my nipples through my clothes, making a shudder breath escape my lips.
“I think it's high time you had your first car sex. I'd love to do you the honors,” his voice sounded even more arousing when I was sitting this close.
My body trembled but my crotch twitched as slick gathered down there. My brain screamed no, but my throbbing pussy wanted this.
Ryan's hand delicately slipped in between my thighs, parting my legs for him. My fingers dug into his shoulders, holding onto him for support.
His fingers grazed over my folds and I gasped, closing my eyes as heat crawled up my neck.
“Eyes on me, love. Watch me touch you,” Ryan ordered and the way I submitted to him was quite alarming.
I bit hard on my lips as I stared into his eyes, and then his fingers traced the curves of my folds, making a soft whimper escape my throat.
“Fuck. You're so wet love. I want to eat you out right here while they watch us. You'd like that, right?” He asked even though he knew the answer to that.
My breath hitched as his fingers slid up and down my panties. At this point, I wasn't sure how long until I could sustain the teasing.
I shook my head, affirming his question but he pressed his hand deeper, making me moan.
“Use your words, love.” He whispered.
“Ye–yes, I'd like that.” I answered breathlessly and he slid my panties to the side.
In Ryan's arms, nothing else mattered–not that Chris and Drake were watching, or that I didn't know them, or that I was afraid of them hurting me.
All I wanted was his fingers to keep touching me.
“We're here boss!” The driver's voice boomed through the speakers and Ryan dropped me to the chair beside him.
There were no traces of the dominant man who was doing filthy things to me and the switch was surprising.
My pussy throbbed with disappointment but I brushed down the feeling. It wasn't like I was willing to do it anyway. Though, I was sure to give in if Ryan kept talking me through it.
“Princess, you're going to love this place,” Chris grinned as we stepped out of the limo.
~
To the public eye, it was just celebrities hanging out.
But between the four of us, we were celebrating our union.
My men had taken me to several places to mark the day–from the beach, to an art studio, to a cinema and then some shopping after.
Even though Ryan was the only one who could touch me romantically, Chris and Drake were flirting with me with every subtle glance and accidental touches.
Their love was overwhelming, and at the same time it was scary.
They way they cared for me like I meant the world to them, the way they protected me like I was their priceless treasure.
They were so intentional about me and it made my present life feel even more surreal.
I didn't know whether to trust them because the last time I saw the good in people, I died for it.
A part of me loved that I belonged to such attractive billionaire boyfriends but another part of me was anticipating something bad happening.
I couldn't afford being hurt the second time so I decided to limit how much I interacted with them, even as I was romantically connected to them.
This time in the restroom was the only time I had to myself without my men watching me.
After turning on the flusher, I stepped out of the area and I marched my way to Ryan's room.
He'd asked me to come see him before we joined the others for dinner.
As I walked towards his room, memories from the car flushed through my mind, making my pussy throb in anticipation.
When I pushed the door open, I was welcomed with his woodsy scent and I walked in.
His room was luxurious to the letter and nothing was out of place. Not even the books on the bookshelf. His bed was neatly arranged. It was difficult to tell if he even touched anything in this room.
“Ryan, I'm here,” I muttered softly, but all I got in return was silence.
I walked further into the room, opening his bathroom that was built with glass walls but he was not there either.
My eyes darted to his walk in wardrobe but the lights in there were turned off.
Why did Ryan ask me to come here if he wasn't going to be here?
After searching everywhere I could, I noticed his laptop came on its own. That was the only sign that Ryan had been here.
He must have stepped out.
I moved closer to his study table, wanting to turn off the laptop. But as I got closer, the bluish light from the laptop morphed into a figure.
My eyes widened in terror when I recognized the face.
It was him.
The same man from my dreams.
The man who killed me in my previous life.
Dominic.
My heart stopped for a second.
So Ryan knew Dominic?
Avery's POV "Relax," Tyler said, though his tone suggested anything but relaxation. "I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to spend some time together. Like we used to.""We never spent time together. I don't even know you."He laughed—a short, sharp sound that made me flinch. "Still playing that game? It's not as cute as you think it is."I pressed myself against the door, as far from him as I could get in the confined space. "Where are we going?""My apartment. Don't worry, it's not far." He studied me with those too-intense eyes. "Tell me about your day. How was the rehearsal?""How do you know about my rehearsal?""I always know where you are, Clara. I thought we'd established that." Another laugh, this one slightly more unhinged. "So? How was it?"I didn't answer. Couldn't answer. Fear had locked my throat closed.We drove in silence for what felt like hours but was probably only fifteen minutes. When we finally stopped, we were in front of a high-rise building in the expensive
Avery's POVChelsea took a sip of water, her hands shaking so badly the glass rattled against her teeth. She set it down carefully and finally looked at me."That was David," she said quietly. "My boyfriend.""I got that part." I tried to keep my voice gentle, even though fury was still burning in my chest. "Chelsea, he was screaming at you over a sandwich order. That's not normal. That's not okay.""He wasn't screaming. He was just... frustrated.""Frustrated? Chelsea, he grabbed you. I saw it.""Because I wasn't listening." Her voice took on a defensive edge. "I get distracted sometimes, and it pisses him off. He has every right to be angry when I mess things up."I stared at her, barely able to believe what I was hearing. "Are you listening to yourself? You're making excuses for him treating you like garbage.""He doesn't treat me like garbage. He's just... stressed. Work's been hard for him lately, and I'm not always the easiest person to deal with." She wrapped her arms around he
Avery's POVI stood there, frozen, as Dominic's words echoed in my head. “I can't stay away from you.”What the hell did that mean?But he was already walking away, disappearing into the crowd of crew members and models. I wanted to chase after him, demand he explain himself, but the director was calling for everyone to return to their positions.I forced myself to focus on the rest of the rehearsal, running through the routines mechanically. But my mind was elsewhere, replaying Dominic's words, his expression, the way he'd looked at me when Mateo caught me."Earth to Clara!" Mateo waved a hand in front of my face, grinning. "Are you still with me?"I blinked, realizing the rehearsal had ended. "Sorry. Just distracted.""I noticed." His expression turned teasing. "You know, most people would be embarrassed about tripping on the runway, but you looked like you were ready to murder someone. That sponsor guy really got under your skin, huh?""Something like that," I muttered."Well, forg
Avery's POV "You're staring," I said, sitting up and letting the sheet pool around my waist."Can you blame me?" His voice had gone rough. "You're naked in my bed and I can't do a damn thing about it because we're already late.""We don't have to be late." I reached for him, but he caught my hand."Yes, we do. Because if I start, I won't be able to stop." He pressed a kiss to my palm. "And you have a job to do."He was right, of course. But that didn't make it any less frustrating.I got up and started getting ready, very aware of Ryan's eyes following my every movement. I took my time, deliberately slow, and watched his control fray with each passing minute."You're doing this on purpose," he accused as I bent to pick up my clothes."Doing what?" I asked innocently."Testing me." He stood up, moving closer. "And you're going to pay for it later.""Promises, promises."By the time I was dressed and ready, Ryan looked like he was barely holding on. He drove me to the rehearsal venue i
Avery's POVDrake stripped me efficiently, his hands roaming over newly exposed skin as each piece of clothing hit the floor. By the time he was done, I was completely naked and bound, trembling with anticipation."Beautiful," he murmured, his eyes drinking me in. "Absolutely fucking beautiful."He trailed the flogger down my body—between my breasts, over my stomach, along my inner thigh. The leather was soft, teasing, making me squirm."Please," I breathed."Please what?" He dragged the flogger back up, letting it ghost over my nipples. "Use your words, Clara.""Please touch me.""I am touching you." His smile was wicked. "You're going to have to be more specific."Heat flooded my face, but I forced myself to meet his eyes. "Touch me. My... between my legs.""Your pussy?" He said it so casually, like we were discussing the weather. "Is that what you want? You want me to touch your pussy?""Yes," I gasped."Since you asked so nicely." He set the flogger aside and slid his hand between
No Other ChoiceChelsea's POV "Obviously," I said. My voice sounded hollow, even to my own ears."Look, what you heard—it's not—" David stood up quickly, nearly knocking over his beer."What I heard," I interrupted, "was you complaining about me. Calling me clingy and exhausting. Talking about getting back with your ex-girlfriend because she's 'less drama.'""No, baby, you're misunderstanding—""Am I?" I crossed my arms over my chest, trying to hold myself together. "Because it sounded pretty clear to me, David. You think I'm too much. You want someone easier. Someone like Sarah."David moved toward me, his hands raised like he was approaching a frightened animal. "You're taking it out of context. It was just guy talk. You know how it is—we complain about our girlfriends sometimes. It doesn't mean anything. All guys do it.""It means something to me.""Chelsea, come on." He reached for my hand and I let him take it, too tired to pull away. "You're overthinking this. You're emotional
