Stevan

You know that saying about digging your own grave? I think that was the moment I finally understood what it meant—when Eric walked toward me.

I can say that day was one of those when I almost had a full-blown anxiety attack. I tried to avoid Eric as much as possible at the company, as if that could somehow change what was waiting for me that night.

While the elevator climbed, my stomach dropped, and there was nothing I could think about that managed to distract me. I stared at my shoes,

  • 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   What Remained from the Night Before

    EricI woke before the alarm.That wasn’t unusual—I rarely needed an alarm. My body had learned years ago to rise before anything external had to pull me back into the world. What was unusual was staying in bed after waking, staring at the ceiling, without the immediate urge to get up and start the day.The room was silent. The way I had always preferred it. But there was an emptiness in it—in my bed—that hadn’t bothered me before.There was something different about the silence that morning. A specific absence I could locate with inconvenient precision: the guest room, where I had left Stevan sleeping.When I returned to my own room, it was already late. We had continued the dynamic of letting him take control for a while longer until both of us were spent. Stevan dictated the pace at which I should enter him. It had been torturous and, at the same time, extremely arousing.I had placed the glass of water on his nightstand before coming back to my room. I always did that before leavi

  • Just Say Yes   All Mine

    StevanThe guest room was dim when I pushed the door open.Eric walked in first. I closed the door behind me, leaning my back against the wood for a second, looking at him standing in the center of the room. He looked back at me with that dark, patient expression that made me want to rush everything and, at the same time, take it slow just so I could keep watching.“On your knees,” I ordered.Eric held my gaze for a second. His jaw tightened slightly, but then he obeyed.Seeing Eric Winter on his knees in front of me was one of the most absurd and most powerful things I had ever experienced. This man who walked into rooms and made everyone step back, who spoke and things happened, who had bought me with a contract—was on his knees, looking up at me, waiting.I stepped closer, took his chin in one hand, and tilted his face up to mine.“Undo my pants,” I said, trying to keep control in my voice.He obeyed without looking away from my eyes, his fingers working the button and zipper with

  • 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
