Stevan

The selfishness of my own morality choked me. I couldn’t keep acting like a victim when he was saving my mother’s life.

“Eric, wait,” I called, my voice coming out louder and more urgent than I had planned.

He stopped, releasing the doorknob. His brown eyes narrowed slightly, assessing the drastic change in my posture.

“What is it, Stevan?”

I took a step forward, closing the distance between us until I could feel the heat radiating from his body. My hands clenched the fabric of the robe

  • Just Say Yes   A Different Kind of Calm

    EricI didn’t know exactly how to describe what I was feeling for Stevan at this point. In these months, a lot had changed. I had changed; Stevan had changed too, and that shift had gained even more force after the conversation I’d had with his mother.The worst part was that with every day that passed, the end of the contract drew closer, and I didn’t know what to do with that. With what I was feeling.The drive to the company was silent. Stevan didn’t push after my warning about Ernesto. He simply accepted it, with that quiet loyalty that disarmed me more than any provocation. But my head was still boiling.Seeing Ernesto again after so long had been like opening a drawer I kept locked. His smile, the way he had been standing so close to Stevan in that bathroom, woke something up inside me. The anger rose hot, and visceral. For a second I wanted to lose control of the way I had at that branch in Omaha—punch his face until the charming smile turned into blood. I wanted to pull Stevan

  • Just Say Yes   Ernesto

    StevanThe voice was warm, well-modulated, and almost welcoming. I turned my face and found a tall man with dark hair slightly silvered at the temples, an impeccable suit, and a smile that seemed practiced to disarm anyone. He was handsome in a classic way and confident—the kind of man who walks into any room and makes people want to get closer.“Good evening,” I answered politely, drying my hands.He approached the sink beside mine but didn’t seem in any hurry. His eyes—light brown, penetrating—assessed me with open interest.“You’re with Eric, aren’t you? I saw you at the table.” The smile widened, charming. “Stevan, right?”I blinked, surprised. I didn’t remember being introduced.“Yes. And you are…?”“Ernesto.” He extended his hand. The grip was firm, lasting a second longer than necessary. “An old… acquaintance of Eric’s. Enormous pleasure to meet you in person.”There was something in the way he said “in person” that put me on alert. But his smile stayed in place, disarming. I a

  • Just Say Yes   Something Is Changing

    StevanI had already finished the report. Eric had reviewed it, and everything was ready for the dinner with a few investors.“Shall we?”I lifted my eyes and found Eric standing in the doorway, leaning against the frame. He looked as good as always—the suit still perfectly aligned, only one or two strands of hair out of place—and he was watching me with that professional expression that, at the same time, looked like he was imagining a thousand and one things he would rather be doing right then, none of which included a business dinner.In moments like this, I still remembered when he mentioned fucking me in his office. I know that at the time the idea had scared me, but—embarrassingly—I had to admit it would be interesting.“Let’s go,” I answered and stood up before my traitorous body could give away what was running through my thoughts.When I passed him, Eric rested his hand lightly on my back. A gesture that to anyone else might have looked normal and casual, but I knew it wasn’t

  • Just Say Yes   Surgery

    StevanI tried not to show how worried I was. I wanted to give her nothing but the confidence that everything would be fine, but I couldn’t stop her from noticing how tense I was.“Don’t worry so much. She’s going to be okay.” Diego’s hand landed on my shoulder, pulling me out of my thoughts.The waiting room was the slowest place in the world.Diego had come with me to the hospital. He arrived the same day I sent the message and was staying in the apartment I was using. When we got here, he dropped into the chair beside me without saying anything for a while. That was typical of him—Diego, who normally couldn’t stay quiet for more than two minutes straight, knew exactly when silence was what the situation called for.“How are you?” he asked eventually.“I don’t know,” I answered honestly.He nodded as if that were a complete answer.“She’s going to be fine,” he said again. “Your mom is the most stubborn woman I’ve ever met. She’s not giving up now.”“She complained about my face befo

  • Just Say Yes   Compatible

    StevanI still didn’t know exactly how to define what existed between me and Eric.It wasn’t just the contract—that had been clear for a while now, even if neither of us admitted it out loud. But it also wasn’t what I had dreamed about my whole life when I thought about being with someone. It was something else. Something that didn’t fit into any of the categories I knew, and that I had stopped trying to force into one somewhere along the last few months.Months.When I thought about it—the time that had passed since that night at the club in Omaha, since the contract signed out of desperation, since the first time I woke up alone in a bed that smelled like his cologne—it seemed impossible that everything had happened so fast and, at the same time, so slowly.Ever since the night he gave me control, something had shifted between us in a permanent way. It wasn’t a single dramatic moment—it was gradual, almost imperceptible, like the change in temperature between autumn and winter. One

  • Just Say Yes   Mrs. Lúcia

    EricThe hospital had that specific smell that always bothered me whenever I stepped into one—antiseptic, bad coffee, and the muffled sound of equipment monitoring vital signs in rooms along the corridor. I went to the information desk and asked which room she was in.Stevan didn’t know I was coming.I hadn’t told him because I hadn’t planned it. I had simply reached a conclusion in the middle of a projections report, set the pen down on the desk, and driven here.His mother was awake when I knocked and entered the room. She looked at me and couldn’t hide the confusion on her face, not knowing exactly who I was or what I was doing in her room.“Mrs. Lúcia, I’m Eric Winter, Stevan’s boss.”“Mr. Winter,” she said, with a voice that still carried the fatigue of treatment, but held a firmness of its own. “I’m very happy to see you here.”“Mrs. Lúcia.” I approached, pulled the chair beside the bed, and sat without being invited. “How are you feeling today?”“Better than yesterday.” She stu

  • Just Say Yes   Discomfort

    I grabbed my things and stood up. I needed to clear my head, and Diego, as always, had a way of making that easier.I headed downstairs and spotted him leaning against a shiny new BMW. I never understood how he pulled it off. He wasn’t rich—at least, not on paper—but he’d always lived surrounded by

  • Just Say Yes   Reality

    Stevan“Your mother is going to need additional dialysis sessions.”The doctor said it with the same detached tone someone might use to confirm an appointment time, not like he’d just split my life open. He kept talking after that. Kidney function. Test results. Percentages. Numbers.None of it rea

  • Just Say Yes   The Test

    I glanced at Diego. For a split second, I had the uncomfortable feeling that he’d read every silent word I hadn’t dared to say out loud.“If you were up for it, we could straight-up auction off your virginity,” he blurted, nudging my shoulder with a grin, clearly amused by his own idea.I nearly di

  • Just Say Yes   The Offer

    We pulled up in front of a private club.The place instantly set off every warning bell I had.Diego greeted the bouncers at the door like old friends—too comfortable, too familiar—and we walked straight in. The club wasn’t open yet. A few staff members moved around the main floor, adjusting lights
