Hades

When I was younger, a psychologist once recommended something called the two-minute rule. To be honest, I still don’t know why my father dragged me into therapy in the first place. There was nothing wrong with me. I wasn’t broken. I wasn’t unstable. I was just different.

Unlike most people, I didn’t waste time pretending to want what was good for me. I did what I wanted, took what I wanted, claimed what I wanted.

To me, the best things in life had always been the bad and forbidden ones.

I had an appetite for the things I shouldn’t touch, especially when they belonged to someone else. Therapy didn’t cure me of that. If anything, it gave me tools to enjoy it more. The two-minute rule was one of them

It was simple, give people two minutes before doing anything. Let them talk. Let them dig their own graves. Let them feel safe enough to make it fun when I pulled the ground out from under them.

I learned that the longer they rambled, the more mistakes they made. The more they tested

  • Lust For Me, Daddy's Good Girl    You’re acting like people have two lives

    Violet I slapped myself. It was not a light pat, or a playful tap. This time it was hard, the sting shooting across my cheek. The sound cracked in the silence. Even Hades froze. His brows lifted, his eyes widened slightly as though he didn't expect me to go this far.My palm lingered on my cheek. Sometimes the best wake-up call is a slap to the face, I told myself. For example, if your heart keeps beating faster whenever you see your ex-boyfriend’s father, it’s a damn good wake-up call. Snaps you out of it faster than chasing useless thoughts.I bit my lip, wincing. Okay, maybe I overdid it.A low chuckle rumbled beside me. My head snapped up. Hades Sinclair was looking amused, as if he had just peeled back my entire soul and found it entertaining. His lips curled, that devastating smirk making my stomach knot.He leaned closer, closing what little space I had left. His hand pressed gently to the top of my head, like I was some stubborn child he found amusing.“You don’t have to try

  • Lust For Me, Daddy's Good Girl    There is no place on earth to run from me

    Violet “You’re mine.”“Ahh!”My eyes snapped open as I jolted upright. My chest rose and fell too fast, sweat beading across my forehead. My heart hammered so hard I thought it might break through my ribs.For a second, I didn’t know where I was. I braced myself for shattered glass, the stench of burning metal, and my mother’s cold hand, but none of it came. Instead, I was in a room.My hands shook as I dragged them down my face, trying to steady myself. I let out a shaky sigh of relief, but the bitter taste in my mouth refused to fade.The same dream again.I’d been having them for as long as I could remember. I couldn’t recall what really happened the day of the accident, but I had nightmares about it. For years, they came only in fragments, but lately, they’d grown so vivid that sometimes I could still feel the pain from that day.I didn’t know if it was just my mind playing cruel tricks on me, or if these dreams were pieces of something real. But I knew I was close to finally see

  • Lust For Me, Daddy's Good Girl    Be patient, princess

    VioletBefore we even reached the exit, he shifted me slightly in his arms, as if I weighed nothing. With one hand holding me, the other slid out of his tailored jacket.I blinked up at him, confused. “What are you—?” I started but before I could finish, he draped it over my head.The heavy fabric fell around me, his scent filled my nose instantly. Whatever words I’d been about to say vanished on my tongue. My lips parted, but nothing came out.He leaned in, lips grazing my ear, his voice a low command. “Be patient, princess. It’s for your own good.”I bit my lip, hard, holding back the thousand things I wanted to say.The doors opened.Flashes of light went off instantly as cameras snapped him. Even through the fabric draped over me, the brightness burned my eyes, forcing them shut. I squeezed my eyes shut, instinctively pressing my face into his chest.He lowered me closer, pressing my face against him as though he had expected it all along. His chest was warm, and firm beneath my c

  • Lust For Me, Daddy's Good Girl    You wouldn’t be walking out of here with both legs

    Violet As if he could read the confusion in my head, Hades brushed my hair to the side, making my skin prickle. His lips grazed the bare skin of my shoulder, and I stiffened as his voice slipped low, for me alone.“Look at her, princess,” he murmured. “Do you really think she could compare to you? Not in a million years would she even stand close. Don’t waste your thoughts on her. To me, she’s nothing more than proof, that boy is a blind fool who doesn’t know the worth of a gem when it’s right in front of him.”A shudder ran through me, my lips parting before I bit down hard. I hated myself for the way his words made my chest ache and my pulse race.No. Don’t fall for this.I clenched my fist, nails digging into my palm. Don’t forget who he is. Don’t forget what he is. He’s your boyfriend’s father. The man who should’ve been untouchable. He’s luring you in, Violet. Don’t, don’t let him.I told myself, and yet, traitorous as it was, I felt myself leaning back toward him, craving tha

  • Lust For Me, Daddy's Good Girl    Bold of you to look at my woman, young man

    Violet What will you do, Violet?What will you do when you realize the man who had you pinned against the bathroom wall, the man who made you moan shamelessly, is none other than your ex-boyfriend’s father?Will you laugh it off, pretend to be indifferent, after all, it was just sex. Just a body pressed into another, nothing more. And it’s not like Matthew mattered anymore. He wasn’t even his blood father. And Matthew was a sorry excuse of a boyfriend, someone I should’ve walked away from much earlier.Or…Will you get angry? Because no matter how I tried to spin it, the truth was I had no idea who Hades Sinclair really was. But he knew I was his son’s girlfriend. And still, he fucked me senseless every chance he got.He even had the audacity to look me straight in the eye and tell me I wasn’t going anywhere.So what then? Did he expect me to stay? To just accept it, like this wasn’t the most twisted thing that had ever happened to me?I couldn’t move. I just stood there, the pieces

  • Lust For Me, Daddy's Good Girl    You’re mine, Violet

    VioletTwo years agoI was sitting across from Matthew at the dining table, absently twirling my fork in my pasta. Without thinking too hard about it, I looked up at him and asked. “Matthew, who is Hades?”The sound that came out of him wasn’t anything I’d ever heard before. His spoon clattered against the table, and he choked on his food.“Matthew!” My chair scraped against the floor as I rushed around the table. He was coughing hard, his face pale, eyes wide in a way that made my chest tighten. I quickly grabbed a glass of water and pressed it into his hand. “Here, drink this.”He snatched it up, gulping it down, his throat bobbing until the coughing finally subsided.I knelt beside him, my hand rubbing soothing circles along his back. “Are you okay? What was that? I’ve never seen you so—” I hesitated. The word sounded strange on my tongue. “scared before.”His breathing slowed, and he muttered hoarsely, “Thank you.”I raised a brow, still crouched at his side, studying him closely
