ANMELDENHe paid off every debt I had. In return, I gave him my body. Adrian Vale is older, richer, and used to owning whatever he wants. When he offered to save my dying mother and wipe out my future in one contract, I signed. I thought I knew what I was selling. I was wrong. He doesn’t just fuck me. He claims me. Every night. Every way. The more I try to remember this is only a transaction, the tighter he holds on — possessive, obsessive, and terrifyingly tender. Then the truth surfaces. The man who bought me… the man who can’t stop touching me… has a much older claim on my blood than I ever imagined. Now I don’t know if I should run from him or let my father keep me forever. Some contracts can never be broken.

The penthouse was darker than I expected. Only the city lights came through the wall of glass, painting everything in cold blue and gold. And there he was—Adrian Vale—standing with his back to me, shirtless, black trousers hanging low enough that I could see the deep cut of muscle above his hips. He didn’t turn around right away. He made me wait. Made me feel how small I was in his space.
When he finally faced me, his eyes dragged down my body like he was already deciding where to put his hands. Older. Mid-forties. Sharp jaw, expensive mouth, the kind of calm that only men with too much money ever managed.
“You’re smaller than I expected,” he said. Voice low. Controlled. “Take your clothes off.”
I swallowed. “We haven’t talked about the money yet.”
“You’ll get the money.” He stepped closer. The air between us changed. “You’ll get the apartment. The black card. Whatever pretty things you want. In exchange, you stay here. You stay naked when I tell you to. And you take my cock whenever, however, and as often as I want.”
I should have walked out. I had every reason to. My student loans were drowning me. My mother’s medical bills were worse. The only reason I was even standing in this penthouse was that Adrian Vale had somehow found out about both and offered a solution that didn’t feel like a solution at all. It felt like a trap with silk sheets.
My fingers still went to the buttons of my shirt.
He watched every movement. When I finally stood naked, cock already half-hard and flushing dark against my stomach, he made a soft sound of approval that went straight to my spine.
“On your knees.”
I dropped.
The marble was cold. His hand slid into my hair, not gentle, and tilted my head back. The thick outline of his cock pressed against the expensive fabric of his trousers, right in front of my mouth.
“Open.”
I parted my lips. He freed himself with one hand, heavy, veined, already leaking at the tip—and dragged the head across my bottom lip, smearing precum like a claim.
“You’re going to learn very quickly,” he murmured, “that I don’t ask twice.”
He pushed forward.
The blunt head stretched my mouth wide. Saliva flooded instantly. He didn’t stop until the thick shaft was buried deep enough that my nose pressed against dark hair and my throat fluttered helplessly around him. Tears pricked my eyes. He held me there, breathing steady, as if the wet, choking heat of my mouth was simply his right.
Then he started to fuck it.
Slow, deep strokes that forced me to take every inch. The wet sounds filled the quiet penthouse. My own cock slapped against my stomach, neglected and dripping. His grip in my hair tightened.
“Look at you,” he said, almost soft. “Already making a mess on my floor. You’re going to be perfect.”
He pulled out with a slick pop. A thick string of spit connected my swollen lips to the shiny head of his cock. I gasped, chest heaving.
His thumb wiped the spit from the corner of my mouth, then pushed it back inside.
“Bedroom. Now. I want you on your back with your legs open when I walk in.”
I scrambled up on unsteady legs and hurried down the wide hallway, heart hammering. The master bedroom was enormous—black sheets, another wall of glass, the city glittering like it was watching. I climbed onto the bed, lay back, and spread my thighs the way I’d been told.
He appeared in the doorway a moment later, completely naked now, cock standing heavy and flushed against his stomach. He looked at me spread open for him and something dark and satisfied moved behind his eyes.
He crawled onto the bed between my legs, pushed them wider, and leaned down until his mouth was right against my ear.
“I’m going to open you up,” he said quietly. “Then I’m going to fuck you until you can’t remember your own name. And when I come, I’m going to do it as deep inside you as I can get.”
His fingers, slick with lube he must have grabbed on the way, pressed against my hole.
“But first,” he whispered, pushing the first thick finger inside, “you’re going to tell me exactly how badly you want it.”
My back arched. The stretch burned in the best way. His eyes locked on my face, waiting, patient and ruthless all at once.
I opened my mouth to answer—
And his second finger slid in beside the first, curling hard against that spot that made white light explode behind my eyes.
“Louder,” he ordered, voice pure steel. “I want to hear you beg for it.”
I was still trying to form the words when his phone lit up on the nightstand. A single message glowed on the screen, bright enough for both of us to see.
She’s here. She knows about the boy.
Adrian’s fingers went still inside me.
His expression didn’t change, but the temperature in the room dropped ten degrees.
He looked down at me, still open and trembling around his fingers, and smiled like something dangerous had just walked into the building.
“Change of plans,” he said softly. “It seems we have company.”
I stood in the middle of the access road with laser sights painted across my chest and Soren Kade smiling as he had already won.Behind me, on the ridge, I could feel Adrian’s rifle aimed past my shoulder. His breathing was too loud in the quiet. Blood loss was dragging him under. He would not stay conscious much longer.Soren spread his hands. “Last chance, Noah. Walk to me and your father lives. Stay where you are and my men finish him before he can pull the trigger.”I looked at the men flanking him. Six visible. Probably more in the trees. Then I looked back at Soren.“You’re going to let him go,” I said. “You’re going to put him in one of those SUVs with a medic and you’re going to drive him to the nearest private hospital. When I have confirmation he’s stable, I’ll get in the car with you.”Soren’s smile thinned. “You’re not in a position to set terms.”“I am the only position,” I answered. “You said it yourself. I’m the asset. Kill him and I will never stop trying to put a bull
Dawn was four hours away.Adrian was already on his feet when the screens went dark again. He didn’t speak. He walked to the weapons cabinet, keyed it open with his good hand, and began loading magazines with sharp, precise movements. The bandage on his shoulder had started to seep through again. He ignored it.I sat up in the bed, still naked, still full of him. “He knows exactly where we are.”“Yes.”“How?”“Someone talked. Or he was closer than we thought the entire time.” Adrian racked the slide of a pistol and held it out to me. “Same rules as before. Anything that isn’t me, you shoot.”I took the gun. The weight felt more familiar now. That terrified me more than the message on the screens.Adrian pulled on a black shirt, leaving it open over the bandage, then a tactical vest he fastened one-handed. Every movement cost him. He never once winced where I could see it.“There are two exit routes,” he said. “Primary is the tunnel under the east wall. It comes out half a kilometer in
The note was still in the evidence bag when Adrian ordered the room cleared.Only the lead surgeon and one guard remained. Adrian sat up against the pillows despite the IV lines and the heavy bandage, eyes locked on the plastic-sealed paper like he could set it on fire by force of will.“One less obstacle,” he read aloud, voice flat. “He’s clearing the board.”I stood at the foot of the bed, still tasting him on my tongue, still feeling the ghost of him inside me. Victoria was dead. Executed. Soren had removed her the same night he let Adrian live.Adrian looked at the surgeon. “How soon can I leave?”“Mr. Vale, you lost a significant amount of blood. The wound—”“How soon.”The surgeon hesitated. “Against medical advice… six hours. If you stay on IV antibiotics and don’t tear the sutures.”“Prepare the discharge papers. Private transport. No paper trail.”The surgeon left. The guard followed at Adrian’s nod. The door sealed behind them.Adrian held out his good hand.I went to him. H
The hospital room stayed locked down for the next fourteen hours.No windows. Two guards outside. One inside. Adrian slept in broken stretches, doped on whatever the doctors had given him for the pain. Every time he surfaced he looked for me first. When he found me still in the chair, his body eased again and he drifted back under.I didn’t sleep.Soren’s mouthed word—Soon—kept circling in my head like a threat that had already chosen its moment.When Adrian finally woke clear-eyed, the clock on the wall read 11:47 p.m. He turned his head on the pillow and studied me for a long time.“You haven’t left this chair.”“No.”“Come here.”I stood and walked to the side of the bed. He shifted despite the IV lines and the heavy bandage on his shoulder, making space. I hesitated only a second before climbing up beside him carefully. The mattress dipped. His good arm slid around my back and pulled me against his chest, mindful of the wound.He smelled like antiseptic and blood and the faint gho
