INICIAR SESIÓNMaya’s POVThe drive to Lara’s house was a blur. I gripped the leather of the car seat until my knuckles burned, every inch of me trembling from a wildfire of anger I had no intention of hiding. Adam sat beside me, calm as always, but the intensity in his gaze was enough to steady me. “Deep breaths,” he said softly. “We have to handle this the smart way, Maya. Not just with fury.”I swallowed, tasting the iron tang of adrenaline. “Being smart doesn’t stop me from wanting to…”“From what?” His hand brushed mine lightly. “From going in there and putting her on the floor?”I flinched, half-scolding him and half-grateful for the grounding touch. “Exactly.”“Then leave that part to me.”I wanted to argue and insist that I had every right to get physical. But Adam had a plan, and his plans always did the job.. I exhaled, and he gave my hand a gentle squeeze, just enough to anchor me.Adam parked, and I noticed the way he observed the property, the subtle markings, the security measures, as
Chapter 100Maya’s PovLee picked at her food at dinner, chewing slowly. She ate two bites and then pushed her plate away.“My tummy hurts,” she said.“You need to eat a little more,” Adam said, his tone even but distant.She sighed but obeyed, lifting her fork again. Halfway through another bite, she paused, her eyebrows knitting together.“Mama?”“Yes, sweetheart.”Her voice dropped, suddenly quieter. “When Sami was talking before court… he said something.”My heart slowed, then began to pound again. I kept my voice gentle. “What did he say?”She fiddled with the edge of her plate. “He said if he didn’t listen, he would go away forever.”The air in the room shifted and Adam’s fork stilled mid-movement. I did not speak immediately. I did not want her to sense the change. “What do you mean, listen to who?”Lee shrugged, eyes still on her food. “He didn’t say. He just kept saying he had to be good or he would go away.”My fingers curled slowly into my palm beneath the table. Adam lifte
Maya’s PovMy vision blurred instantly, tears burning my eyes. I swallowed hard, forcing myself to remain still as the room seemed to tilt around me. Adam’s jaw tightened so sharply I feared it might crack. What has gone wrong? This boy was practically always with me, he loved me, he even defended me. What could have changed his mind? I felt betrayed and broken but in the end, the child chose family. I was just a nobody, a stranger. Lara’s lawyer rose immediately and with a smooth and confident voice spoke of the instability, stress, and emotional risk that would come with staying with me. “The child had improved greatly but since the hearing began, he has shown visible signs of fear around Ms. Maya, avoiding her gaze like a plague,” she said. “He is withdrawn and quiet. Children speak in more than words, "Your Honour.”I stared straight ahead, heartbeat pounding in my ears. Adam stiffened beside me.“The father has made his position clear,” the lawyer continued. “He has no inten
CHAPTER 98Maya’s POVSunday came quite fast and we had to return to base. I had had so much fun and honestly, I didn't want to leave. But thankfully, this place was Adam's and we could come back whenever. For now, we had to face real life. The air around the villa felt warm and normally, it soothed my nerves but tonight, it did not land the same way. Something sat too tightly in my chest, an unease I could not shake no matter how many times I tried to reason it away.……..We arrived at our house at early evening and I went straight into making dinner. We were just rounding up dinner when I noticed what was really wrong. Sami was unusually quiet and less clingy. This was not a post-play silence that came after a long day in the sun or the pensive kind either. This was different. He barely touched his food, pushing the pasta around his plate with slow, distracted movements and every few seconds, his eyes lifted towards me and then flicked away too fast, as if he had been caught doin
Aria's PovI didn't need to say more. He pushed in with one slow, relentless thrust and the stretch stole every ounce of air from my lungs. I clutched his shoulders and my head fell back against the pillow. He stilled when he was fully inside me, forehead pressed to mine, both of us shaking.“Fuck,” he breathed. “You feel…”He didn’t finish. He just started moving and I forgot how to think. It was fast and hard and perfect. The bedframe knocked the wall with every thrust and I didn’t care who heard. I wrapped my legs higher around his waist and met him stroke for stroke, chasing the heat that was already coiling tight and bright low in my belly. His hand slid under my hips, tilting me so he went deeper and I cried out his name.“That’s it,” he growled against my ear. “Let me hear you.”I did. I couldn’t have stopped if I tried. Every sound he dragged out of me felt like something I’d been holding in for years and when the orgasm hit it was sudden and blinding. I arched off the bed, cl
Maya’s Pov“Relax, Maya,” Adam murmured in my ear. My body listened before my mind did and my shoulders softened. Then his hands drifted lower. Just enough to brush the curve between my back and my waist. His palm pressed lightly over my lower back and my breath broke.A soft moan accidentally escaped and aside the ocean that kept moving, everything else stopped.His hands remained exactly where they were on my lower back, warm against my skin but it seemed like he did not breathe for a second. And neither did I. Heat rushed through my entire body and my eyes closed in embarrassment.Slowly he turned around me until he sat facing me. Close enough that our knees almost touched. He reached up and gently lifted my chin with two fingers and my lips parted helplessly. I bit down lightly on them, flustered and unable to hide it.His voice came low and roughened. “Is it that good?”I swallowed hard but no words came out. I only held his stare. My chest rose and fell with uneven breaths and
