LOGINHIROTO'S POV
I went. There was no way I could not go. The power he held over me was absolute, and as much as I hated the humiliation, the pull of his dominance was a drug I was already addicted to.
The gym was dark, the air smelling of floor wax and sweat. I found the showers in the back, the flickering fluorescent lights making the white tiles look like a hospital ward. I heard the water running before I saw him.
Neven was standing under a spray of cold water, his back to me. He was naked, his muscles rippling under the stream, the water falling down the broad expanse of his shoulders.
"Close the door," he commanded, not turning around.
I locked the heavy metal door. "Why did you do that at the shop? Kenji was right there. You’re going to get us caught."
Neven turned, the water slicking his blonde hair back. He stepped out of the stall, his massive dick swinging heavy between his thighs. It was distracting. He walked toward me, dripping wet, until I was backed against the cold, tiled wall.
"I did it because it was fun," he murmured, his hand coming up to grip my throat, his thumb tracing the leather of the collar. "And as expected, your expressions were worth it. You’re becoming a very good liar, Hiroto."
"I have to be," I hissed, trying to push him away. He kissed me on the neck, his large hands caressing my face. I knew where this was headed.
“Keep your weekend open,” he muttered against my skin.
"I have work at the club this weekend. I can't keep doing this every time you have a whim,” I snapped. It was annoying enough that he knew that it was Kenji that was there that day and still chose to keep it a secret from me.
Neven’s grip tightened slightly. “Is it because of the money?”
“Why else would anyone do what I'm doing?” I frowned. Usually, I'd be swayed by his good looks but I was not in a good mood today. I pushed his hand away.
“Someone's cranky today,” he snickered.
"I can't just skip work, Neven! I need the money for the next semester, the club pays—"
He cut me off by slamming his mouth onto mine, a brutal, possessive kiss that tasted of mint and cold water. He pulled back just an inch, his eyes burning.
"I’ve already put enough in that envelope to cover your semester. If it’s money you want, it would be in your best interest to mooch off me instead of shaking your ass for strangers,” he brushed his thumb over my lips. “Now, stop being cranky before I lose my patience,” he pressed his thumb into my mouth, having me suck on it. He was so annoying but there was no way I could turn down such an offer. We were already doing it, so what difference would it make if he gave me an allowance? This was a lot better than having old men ogle me.
Seeing me sucking on his thumb so eagerly made him lick his lips. He spun me around, slamming my chest against the wet tiles.
“You—” my words got caught in my throat as he shoved his dick into me, my scream echoing off the tiles and drowning in sound of the shower.
He was relentless, his hands gripping my hair and pulling my head back as he hammered into me. My knees buckled, my feet slipping on the wet floor, but he held me up.
"Say it," he hissed, his teeth grazing the marks on my neck. "Tell me who owns you."
"You... you do!" I sobbed, the pleasure peaking into something violent. "Professor Karlsson... Neven... please!"
I came against the tiles, my release washing away in the cold water. He followed a moment later, his low groan vibrating through my entire body as he filled me.
“I hope you're not going to call it quits after just one round?” He spread my butt cheeks apart, watching as cum leaked out of it. I shook my head. I know it was pathetic—one minute I'm angry at him, the next minute, I'm craving him.
“Good boy. Now turn around and wrap your arms around my neck,” he instructed and I did as he said without hesitation. He lifted one of my legs and leaned in closer, his forehead resting against mine.
“There are a lot of things I'd like to do with you and to you but I'm afraid we'll be caught if we do them on school grounds,” he licked my lips before kissing them softly. I felt the tip of his dick press against my butt hole, making me wince. “Try to hold back your moans as much as you can,” he pinched my now erect nipples as he thrust into me. I let out a half gasp, half moan but he wouldn't give me time to adjust before pounding into me, the squelching sound feeling the air. I wanted him to go deeper and harder.
“You're such a fucking slut,” he bit my ear, seeing how much I craved him.
I couldn't tell how many times we'd done it before he came for the last time. As I slumped against the wall, shivering and ruined, Neven stepped back and turned off the water. The silence that followed was heavy.
"My driver will be at the dorms at noon on Saturday," he said, drying himself off with a towel as if we’d just finished a business meeting. "Don't keep me waiting, Cinder.”
LYSANDER'S POV I looked down. Even through the thick fabric of his tailored trousers, I could see the unmistakable, massive ridge of his erection. My pupils dilated. The challenge was right there, staring me in the face.I dropped to my knees on the rug."What are you doing?" Taye’s voice was a low, warning rumble, but he didn't step back."Giving you the reaction you've been hiding," I purred.I reached for the button of my own trousers, sliding them down until I was bare. I didn't care that the room was cold. I started to touch myself right there at his feet, my fingers slick and rhythmic, my eyes locked on his face. I wanted him to see what he did to me. I wanted him to be forced to watch.Taye turned his head away, his jaw so tight I could see the muscle leaping. "Get up, Ly. This is inappropriate.""Look at me, Taye," I commanded, my voice dropping into that melodic, manipulative tone. "See how much I want you. See how hard you've made me."When he wouldn't look, I shifted tacti
LYSANDER'S POV The storm had turned the sky grey and everything else into a mess. I sat in the back of the Audi, my forehead pressed against the cool glass, watching the rain blur the world outside. The studio session had been a disaster. My voice was thin, my focus was gone, and the flashing lights of the paparazzi at the gates had been the final blow.I didn't like being crowded. I didn't like the feeling of walls closing in, or the way the cameras felt like firing squads. My breath was coming in short, shallow hitches, and the edges of my vision were starting to fray."Mr. Zeni. Breathe."Taye’s voice was the only thing I could hear in the car. Before I could spiral into a full panic attack, he shifted. He didn't ask; he simply reached across the seat and hauled me into his lap. He used his body to block out the sight of flashing cameras outside. He held me against his chest, his large hand cupping the back of my head, forcing my face into the crook of his neck. I could hear his h
LYSANDER'S POVHe leaned in closer, his scent filling my head until I couldn't think straight."Your pulse is through the roof," he murmured, his eyes locking onto mine.He stayed like that for a long moment, his thumb still pressing into my skin. I could feel the weight of his gaze, the way he was analyzing me. Slowly, his eyes drifted down. He looked at the way my robe had fallen open, exposing the pale, smooth line of my chest. He looked at the way I was shivering, not from fear, but from the sheer opportunity of being this close to him.The silence changed. It went from a security check to something heavier.Taye’s grip on my neck tightened, just a fraction. It wasn't enough to hurt, but it was enough to let me know he was in control. His eyes darkened, I could see the mild annoyance on his face."There was no one on that balcony, Ly," he said calmly. He hadn't left any room for my opinion."I... I thought I saw—
LYSANDER'S POVThe silence of the estate was starting to feel beyond draining. Three days of playing by the rules, three days of being a "wholesome artist," and three days of being ignored by the giant, tanned mountain of a man who followed me like a shadow.I was bored, and a bored Lysander was a dangerous thing."You’re overthinking it," Callie said, sprawled across my bed while she buffed her nails. She didn't even look up when I paced past her for the tenth time. "He’s a professional, Ly. You’re just a paycheck in a hoodie to him.""Nobody looks at me and sees a paycheck, Callie," I snapped, stopping in front of the full-length mirror. I pulled at the lapel of my silk robe, letting it slip just a fraction more off my shoulder. "He’s human. He has to be. I just need to find the right frequency to shatter that glass exterior.""So, what’s the plan? More 'accidental' towel slips? Beca
LYSANDER'S POV The afternoon didn't get any better. Callie arrived around two, trailing a cloud of expensive perfume and complaining loudly about the "peasant-level" traffic. She wandered into the sunroom where I was pretending to read a script while Taye stood guard by the glass doors."Ly, darling, you look miserable," Callie said, dropping into a chaise lounge. "And who is the gargoyle by the door? He’s… hot.""That's Taye," I muttered, not looking up. "He’s an Aegis Prime robot. I think he runs on batteries."Callie’s turquoise eyes lit up. She loved a challenge as much as I did. She stood up, smoothing her designer skirt, and sauntered over to Taye. She did the whole routine—the hair flip, the hand on the arm, the "damsel in distress" eyes."Taye, is it?" she purred. "I’m starving and the kitchen staff is being dreadfully slow. Do you think a big, strong man like you could find me something... sweet?"I held my breath, watching.Taye didn't even look at her hand on his sleeve. H
LYSANDER'S POV The 0600 wake-up call was a war crime.I ignored the first three knocks on my bedroom door, burying myself deeper into the cotton sheets. I expected a maid or Merrick to come in and coax me out with coffee. Instead, the door opened with a firm, decisive click."Mr. Zeni. It’s six-oh-five. You’re behind schedule."That voice. It was like a low-frequency hum that vibrated right through the mattress. I pulled the covers down just enough to see Taye standing at the foot of my bed. He was already in his suit, looking crisp and disgustingly alert. He didn't look at the expensive art on my walls or the messy pile of designer clothes on the floor. He just looked at me—or rather, through me."Go away, Taye," I groaned, flipping onto my back and purposely letting the sheets slide down to my waist. I wasn't wearing a shirt. I knew exactly how the morning light hit the lines of my stomach. "I don't do 'schedules' before noon.""You signed a contract," Taye said, his expression unc
