This three-way date felt awkward. Watching Wulf and Skyler chatting away like old friends, even flirting with one another, was not something I could accept. I held my tongue, however, as I would not let him win this quarrel between us. If I had to play along to win, I would do so, but I was constantly on edge as I expected to say something to wind me up.
I dug at the steak on my plate idly. I really couldn’t figure out Wulf’s plan for me. So far, things had been quiet because he hadn’t tried to insult me. Perhaps he is hoping I’ll be the one to start on him? I refuse to sink to his level.
As another trilling laughter escapes Skyler’s lips, I put the piece of meat into my mouth. I watch as those two continue to flirt and talk with each other, but I have no interest in what they’re saying. I’m paying just enough attention to hear if I am needed to reply to something, but otherwise, I stay silent.

The awkward date continued for a while longer until things got worse. Much worse. Skyler had another client to see, and now that means I am left alone with Wulf. I refuse to use his first name, even after all this. Any sign that I’m giving in to him will only encourage him more and there is no way in the Outlands I will allow that.As I watch my only protection vanish into her client’s car, I feel my anxiety flare-up. Glancing as subtly as I can towards Wulf, I see that he still has his eyes on Skyler for the time being. I cannot believe that he wants to spend time with me in bed. If I was shallow enough to care about nothing but the money, maybe I’d give in and do it just to get rid of him, but I can’t bring myself to sleep with anyone other than Kain.“I can feel you watching me, as always,” Wulf torments me with his words. I quickly look away again and hiss, “not for the reasons you hope. We will never

“You live here?” Wulf’s question made me vaguely aware that not everyone knew Kain had forced me to live in one of his apartment rooms. I hadn’t intended to let Wulf follow me home, but after drinking a bit too much, I wasn’t really thinking straight when he offered to take me home and now the two of us were just outside the building with him gawking up at it in envy.“I guess I do?” Came my reply with a shrug of my shoulders. I wasn’t so drunk that I couldn’t speak or walk, just drunk enough to let my guard down a bit too much, it seemed. It never crossed my mind to keep my living situation hidden from anyone. Not that I had ever shared it with anyone, but thinking about it now, perhaps it wasn’t a good idea to let others know.Wulf’s gaze looked back at me, his brow raised slightly at my reaction. “You guess?” He inquired as he took a few steps closer to me. “Th

I can feel my whole body grow uncomfortably hot from the pressure of Kain’s stare. A bead of sweat drips down my forehead as he waits for me to answer his question. We moved into my apartment, but his annoyance at not answering his messages has not lessened, even after I said I was sorry and that I had just been preoccupied with my client. “I don’t understand why this is still an issue? Did I not already say sorry for not noticing and replying? You didn’t have to get riled up like this,” I said, furrowing my brows. It wasn’t the answer to his question. He had wanted to know what client was so important that I had neglected to tell my boyfriend that I’d be late home. However, not once did he ever mention he wanted to spend the night with me! He said he’d be back late himself! Pushing his glasses back up on his nose, Kain stared down at me with a flare of annoyance. However, he took in a deep breath to calm himself before answering, “because I wo

Light, feathery kisses trail down my neck to my collarbone as I feel familiar warm hands sneak up my chest until they reach my nipples. With a slight tweak between his finger and thumb, I can’t help but let out a lustful moan. Squirming on his lap, I cannot escape his touch, as I struggle against the bonds that hold my wrists behind my back. And if that wasn’t enough, he also had me blindfolded, so I couldn’t see anything. I know for a fact that I do not own any of this stuff in my apartment, so the only other option was that Kain had had the items with him. Had my boyfriend planned this all along as punishment for my actions? Or was he waiting for me with these things, anyway? They were the only explanations I could think of. Now that I couldn’t see or use my hands to fight off Kain’s fondling, all I could do was to submit to his every whim. I felt his hands now grabbing my backside with a tight squeeze, pushing me up flush against his body. A

SLAP!I quickly pull back my hands as the piano instructor slaps down her stick on my fingers. She wasn’t harsh with her strike, but it’s still enough to cause a stinging sensation to vibrate throughout my hand. I sigh and close my eyes. I don’t know why she has become so strict lately, but for whatever reason, she has been in such a foul mood whenever I mess up a key.“Again, from the top!” She chides me and taps her stick against the music sheet. I want to take a break as we’ve been at this all morning, but I have no desire for her ire right now, so I make no sound to protest. I have to focus on the music notes until I can play this song off the top of my head. That was my order for the day and if I failed to perform to standard, then I would have to spend all night here until I got it right.I couldn’t allow that to happen. Kain had promised me something special if my instructor reported that I

“Say it again!” I almost yell out in excitement to Kain as we wait for the elevator to head down to the car park. I have to get him to say it again because it doesn’t seem real! “You have to say it again! Say it!” A small smirk crosses Kain’s lips at me, even as I hold on tight to both of his arms and peer up at him with wide eyes. I don’t even care that people are staring at us right now, because what Kain just said to me has my mind full of energy! I stick my bottom lip out into a pout while I give him the best puppy-dog eye expression I can muster. Rolling his eyes at me, though still holding that smirk, Kain mutters low enough for only me to hear, “can you get any cuter?” He keeps his pose professional, a far cry from me right now. I find myself blushing and withdrawing a little. I am just too happy with this news. “Sorry, it’s just… you’re not joking? I really will?” I ask, looking back at Kain with bright, hopeful eyes. Ka

To say I am intensely nervous would be an understatement. This week passed by so fast that I didn’t have time to process my position! It was only now, the night of my first performance, that everything suddenly felt real to me. I took a deep breath in, then let it out again slowly. I had to calm my nerves before the show started, or else I might make a mistake and that wouldn’t reflect well on me, nor Kain.Speaking of the man, Kain had made sure I had been dressed to impress, and that we had a matching set. It was cute of him to make us match. He couldn’t openly tell people we were a pair, but he showed it in his secretive ways, and that thought alone warmed my heart.“I’m surprised you asked me to be your plus one tonight,” Skyler says as she drags my attention away from Kain. I offer her a smile as we sit in the limo on the way to our event. She looks absolutely beautiful, though not a

Looking over at the piano, I noticed this one was much grander than the one I practised with. Not that the practice one was of poor quality. Oh no. Even that piano had been made for Kings. The only thing that separated these two, was that the training one had been played so often by trainees that it had grown a bit weathered.I was nervous about performing in front of such an enormous crowd, but I knew I could do it. There was no way I was going to pass up this opportunity of a lifetime. If I could impress people here today, then I knew I’d be able to continue down this path Kain had picked for me. It wasn't my original goal but I trusted him.For now, the ballroom was mostly empty, as people were being entertained elsewhere, but they would start pouring in eventually, and then it would be my turn. Well, not just me, but a few others would play something before and after me, but that doesn’t stop me from feeling
