تسجيل الدخولI stepped out of Dr. Cole's office, my legs still trembling, my skin flushed from his touch. The air-conditioned hallway felt too cold against my overheated body, but I barely noticed.
What I did notice were the eyes. The nurse at the station… the same one who had called me back, was staring. Her gaze flicked down to my short skirt, then back up to my face, her lips pressed into a thin line. Did she know? A thrill shot through me. Had I been loud? Well, at this point I didn't care. With a slow, deliberate sway in my hips, I walked past her, heading for the exit. The click of my heels echoed in the silent hallway, I was almost at the door when a voice called out behind me. "Miss? Wait." I turned and a different nurse I hadn't seen before was holding out a plain white envelope. "This is for you.” I took it, my fingers brushing against hers. "Who's it from?" She shrugged. "I was just told to give it to you." Curious, I tucked it into my purse and left. By the time I got home, my nerves were humming. I locked my apartment door behind me, kicked off my heels, and tore it open. Inside was a single USB drive. No note. No explanation. My pulse spiked. I grabbed my laptop, my fingers trembling as I inserted the drive. A single video file popped up. I clicked play, and my heart stopped. The screen was filled with a grainy image of me. Bent over the exam table, my skirt hiked Dr. Cole's hands gripping my hips as he fucked me from behind. My moans filled the room, loud and shameless. "Oh my God." My stomach twisted. Who recorded this? The camera angle was high, like it had been hidden somewhere in the room. I slammed my laptop shut, my breath coming in short gasps. Who the hell sent this to me? Was it him? Did Dr. Cole record us? Or... was it someone else? A slow, dangerous heat curled in my stomach. Because despite the fear, the violation… my body reacted. My thighs pressed together, wet all over again and a shiver ran down my spine. There was only one way to find out. I was going to ask him tonight. ***************** My alarm blared, jolting me from a restless sleep. I hadn't meant to doze off, but my body was still wrung out from earlier. No time to waste. I jumped up, heading straight for the bathroom. The shower was quick, after a few minutes, I stepped out, toweled off, and faced the mirror. My cheeks were flushed, my lips swollen from where l'd bitten them. I looked... wrecked. Good. I reached for the short red dress l'd laid out earlier and slipped it on. It was perfect, and damn revealing. I swiped a deep red lipstick across my lips slowly, watching my reflection darken into something sinful. Perfect. My phone buzzed on the counter and a single message popped up. Dr. Cole: Outside. Two words. That's all it took to send my pulse skittering. I took a deep breath, grabbing my purse and slipping my feet into strappy heels. One last glance in the mirror. One last chance to back out. But the heat between my thighs said hell no. The night air was so cold, clinging to my skin as I stepped outside. His car was packed out, the passenger door opened before I reached it. And there he was. Dr. Ethan Cole. He wore a black suit, his tie loosened just enough to reveal the strong line of his throat. But his eyes-fuck, his eyes… were pure heat, raking over me like he wanted to devour me right there on the sidewalk. "You're late," he murmured, but the smirk on his lips said he didn't mind. I slid into the seat beside him, the leather cool against my bare thighs. "Had to look good for you." His gaze dropped to my lips, then lower, lingering on the swell of my breasts. A slow, wicked grin curled his mouth. "Fuck 'good.' You look ruinous." His fingers were already twitching like he couldn't keep them to himself. "This dress should be illegal." I arched a brow, biting my lip just to watch his eyes darken. "Arrest me, then." A growl rumbled in his chest. Then he placed his hand on me, sliding up my thigh. "Stop teasing me baby girl." My pulse hammered as his touch climbed higher, pushing the hem of my dress up. His palm burned against my inner thigh, inching toward where I was already wet. "Ethan…” I gasped. "Quiet." His fingers slipped under the lace of my panties, and I jolted. He dragged a finger through my slickness. I whimpered, my hips lifting shamelessly into his touch. "I was going to wait until we get there." His free hand grabbed mine, pressing it against the hard bulge in his pants. "Look what you do to me." God. He was so fucking hard. "So?" I breathed, rocking against his fingers. "What are you gonna do about it?" He chuckled and placed his lips on mine, kissing me roughly… his tongue claiming my mouth as his fingers pushed inside my pussy. I moaned and arched my back, but then, he tore his lips away with a snarl. His eyes locked on mine as he brought his glistening fingers to my lips. "Taste yourself," he ordered, pressing them against my tongue. I sucked them clean, watching his jaw tighten. "Good girl." His hand slid to the back of my neck, yanking me close. "Now move to the back and get on your knees." His words sent a lightning strike of heat straight to my core. I didn't hesitate. I clambered over the center console, my dress riding up, my heels catching on the leather, but I didn't care. I went on all fours. Just like he wanted. The back seat was spacious, but I made myself small, bending forward until my ass was high in the air, my cheek pressed against the cool leather. I heard him shift behind me, the rustle of fabric as he undid his belt, the low groan he couldn't stifle. "Fuck," he muttered. "Look at you."KAYLABy the time the food was gone and the tea had been refilled twice, something in me had unclenched properly for the first time since the plane landed.This… Zara talking with her whole body, both hands moving, nearly knocking her mug off the counter twice. Her laugh filling every corner of the room. I'd missed her in a way I hadn't let myself fully feel until right now.Darius had been quiet for most of it, he laughed when something was actually funny. Asked exactly two questions, both of them good ones. Refilled my mug once without being asked and I told myself that meant nothing and I almost believed it."Okay." Zara stood up suddenly. She stretched both arms above her head and groaned. "We have to go.""Already?""It is… " She checked her phone and made a face. "Kayla. It's almost midnight.""It is not.""It genuinely is and you just got off a long flight and I have a seven AM and if I don't leave right now I'm going to keep you up until three talking about nothing and you're
KAYLASomehow… I found my voice."Darius." I whispered. "What are you…”His fingers pressed gently against my lips lightly, and every word I'd been about to say dissolved completely. His eyes stayed on mine the whole time… and then he dropped his hand slowly. And then, before I could pull together a single thought, his fingers ran up my arm… the back of his knuckles dragging from my wrist to my shoulder like he was just… exploring. Like he had all the time in the world and intended to use every second of it.My heart skipped… and he noticed. Of course he noticed.His hand changed direction, drifting down now, and I knew I should say something, should do something, but my mouth had completely stopped cooperating and my legs were barely functioning and when he placed his warm palm against the outside of my thigh I made a quiet sound.The corner of his mouth shifted. "Still fine?" he asked.I hated him. I genuinely, deeply, passionately hated him for how unbothered he sounded right now.
KAYLAHe dropped the duffle against the wall and set it down easily, then straightened up and looked around the room for a second like he was doing a mental checklist. Making sure everything was in order. Like that was just a thing he did naturally.It was annoyingly attractive."You good?" he asked, turning to look at me. "Need anything?""I'm fine," I said quickly. Maybe a little too quickly. "Seriously, I'm great. Thank you."He held my gaze for just a beat longer than necessary and then nodded."Alright." He moved toward the door. "I'll get out of your hair then.""Okay. Thanks again. For everything.""Don't mention it."And then he was gone, pulling the door mostly closed behind him, and I heard his footsteps going back down the hall and I stood completely still until I couldn't hear them anymore.Then I let out the longest breath of my entire life.What… was THAT.I pressed both hands to my cheeks. They were warm. Of course they were warm. I'd been standing in a bedroom with a
KAYLASix years was a long time.Six years of FaceTime calls that cut out at the worst moments, voice notes sent at 2 a.m. because of time zone confusion, and text threads so long that scrolling to the beginning felt like archaeology. Six years of I miss you and when are you coming back and soon, I promise, soon… and now soon was finally, actually here.I pressed my forehead against the cool window of the cab and watched the city blur past, my fingers fidgeting with the strap of my carry-on like I didn't know what to do with my hands. Which, honestly, I didn't. I'd been on a plane for four hours and in my feelings for considerably longer, and the closer we got to Maplewood Heights, the more that anxious, giddy feeling in my chest threatened to crack me wide open.I was going home.Home was the house on Sycamore Row that my parents had both packed their separate boxes out of two years into my first semester, each leaving in different directions without much thought for the building the
MIAHis eyes widened for a split second, searching my face like he was waiting for me to back out, to laugh it off as some twisted joke. “You serious?” he asked, his voice filled with that raw hunger he'd been holding back.I nodded, my heart beating really fast. “Yeahhh,” I whispered, the word dragging out, my body already aching for what came next.That was all it took. He crashed his mouth against mine, his tongue pushing past my lips. I moaned into the kiss, my hands fisting in his shirt as he devoured me. His fingers dug into my hips, pulling me against him, and I felt the thick ridge of his cock pressing insistently through his pants, right against my core.Before I could even process it, he scooped me up, one arm under my knees and the other around my back. My legs wrapped around his waist on instinct, and he carried me toward the stairs, his mouth never leaving mine. Each step jostled me against him, grinding my soaked panties against that hard bulge, sending sparks shooting
MIAI was already dressed.A wine-free short dress, simple and soft, nothing tight, nothing that screamed look at me. I’d thought about wearing something that hugged my body more, something I knew would make his eyes linger, but no. I wasn’t giving him that satisfaction. Not today.I just applied a little lip moisturiser, nothing glossy, nothing dramatic, then let my hair fall loose down my back. I took one last look at myself in the mirror and nodded once, like I was convincing myself more than anything else.Good enough.I walked out of my room and into the parlour, the house quiet in that way that made every thought louder. I sat on the couch and crossed my legs, waiting.Why the hell did my father leave his card with him?Now Jake would start acting like he was in charge, like this was his territory, like he was responsible for everything. The thought annoyed me more than I wanted to admit, and I shifted on the couch, folding my arms loosely.I wanted to be pissed about it. I real
JAKEI was shaking.Not from wanting her… I wanted her more than I’d ever wanted anyone but from the war going on inside my head.She was asking. She was touching me. She was looking at me like I was the only thing keeping her upright.But she was still high.She didn’t fully know what she was doi
MIAMy alarm rang at exactly 5 a.m.I groaned and slapped it off, blinking through the haze of sleep as I pushed myself upright. My limbs stretched automatically, a long sigh slipping out as my body loosened. Every muscle felt sluggish, but in a good way… the kind of heaviness that came from real r
MIAHe set me on the bathroom counter, his hands lingering on my waist for a second too long before he pulled away.“Stay still,” he said, grabbing a small towel and running warm water over it.I watched him move as he crouched again. This time even closer.He lifted my leg gently and rested it on
MIAWe walked inside together, and instantly the air shifted.The warmth from outside disappeared, replaced by a thick, heavy awkwardness that settled between us. The echo of our footsteps filled the entrance hall, but neither of us spoke. Not a word.Not after what he’d just done outside.Not afte
