LOGINThe bedroom was dim only the soft orange from the streetlamp outside sneaking through the thin curtains. Adeyemi’s bed was big enough for two to sleep comfortably, three if they didn’t mind getting tangled. Four was pushing it; someone would end up half on the floor. That was kind of the point tonight.
She lay in the middle on her back, legs spread, black silk slip pushed up around her waist. Chidi’s come still leaked slowly from her; Khalid had licked most of it away, but not everything. She glistened. Her chest rose and fell in slow, steady breaths. Khalid stood at the foot of the bed still hard, still leaking, eyes burning with that quiet, barely contained fury that comes from being made to wait. “You won the right to stay,” she told him softly. “But winning doesn’t mean you get me all to yourself. Not yet.” She crooked a finger at Tobi and Yusuf, who’d been hovering near the doorway like kids sent to the principal’s office. “Come here. Kneel on either side of me.” They climbed onto the mattress right away knees sinking in, cocks bobbing with every shift. Chidi stayed in the small armchair in the corner, arms crossed, jaw tight. He’d already come inside her once tonight. That should’ve been enough. It wasn’t. Adeyemi reached out, wrapped one hand around Tobi’s shaft, the other around Yusuf’s. She stroked them slow lazy, almost distracted while she looked straight at Khalid. “Fuck me now,” she said. “Slow. Deep. Make it last. And while you do, these two get to use my hands. Chidi watches. If anyone comes before I say anyone at all you all leave. Except the one who lasts longest. He gets to sleep beside me tonight.” Khalid’s nostrils flared. He climbed onto the bed, positioned himself between her thighs, and pushed in without rushing. She was slick, open, ready. He sank to the hilt in one smooth glide and held there, letting her feel the stretch, the heat, the throb of him inside her. Then he started moving long, deliberate strokes that dragged every ridge along her walls. Eyes locked on hers. No blinking. Tobi groaned low when her fingers tightened around him. Yusuf’s hips jerked forward on their own. She kept the rhythm steady slow pumps that matched Khalid’s thrusts. Every time Khalid bottomed out, her thumbs brushed over their heads at the exact same moment. Chidi shifted in the chair. His cock was hard again, untouched, straining. He looked like he wanted to break something. Probably Khalid. “Jealous?” Adeyemi asked him without looking away from Khalid. Chidi’s voice came out rough. “You let him stay. After I filled you first.” “You came without permission the second time,” she reminded him. “That’s why you’re sitting there. Watch. Learn.” Khalid’s pace didn’t change, but something dark flashed in his eyes at Chidi’s words. Triumph. Possession. Adeyemi felt it the tiny shift in Khalid’s rhythm, the way he angled his hips to hit deeper, claiming more of her with every roll. She arched under him, let out a soft moan that made Tobi and Yusuf both twitch in her hands. “Tell him,” she whispered to Khalid. “Tell Chidi how good I feel wrapped around you right now.” Khalid’s voice came low, almost a growl. “She’s dripping for me. Still full of you, but tighter now. Hotter. Like her body knows exactly who’s supposed to be here.” Chidi’s fists clenched on the armrests. Tobi cracked first. “Miss, I mean Adeyemi” His voice broke. “I can’t I’m gonna” She let go of him instantly. “No.” Tobi whimpered, hips bucking into nothing. A thick bead of pre-come welled at his tip and dripped onto her wrist. He didn’t come, but he was right on the edge shaking, flushed, miserable. Yusuf lasted another minute teeth gritted, breathing through his nose before he rasped, “Please” She released him too. Both boys knelt there, cocks dark and throbbing, untouched now, chests heaving. Khalid never slowed. Adeyemi hooked her legs around his waist, pulled him deeper. “Make me come,” she ordered. “Then you can finish. Inside. Deep.” He shifted his angle short, grinding thrusts now, pubic bone pressing hard against her clit with every roll of his hips. She gasped, nails digging into his shoulders. The pressure built fast too fast after everything tonight. She came with a sharp, startled cry back bowing off the mattress, walls clamping down so hard Khalid hissed through his teeth. He fucked her through it steady, relentless until the spasms slowed. Then he buried himself to the root and let go. Hot pulses flooded her deep, claiming, more than before. She felt every spurt, the way his cock kicked inside her as he emptied completely. When he finally stilled, breathing ragged against her neck, she stroked his back once almost gently. “Good boy,” she murmured. “You lasted.” She looked at the others Tobi and Yusuf still kneeling, aching, denied; Chidi rigid with barely contained rage in the chair. “You three,” she said softly, “get dressed. Quietly. Leave. No touching yourselves until tomorrow after class. If I find out any of you came tonight without me, the punishment will be worse.” They moved like they’d been hit silent, humiliated, hard as stone. Chidi was the last to leave. He paused in the doorway, eyes locked on where Khalid still lay half draped over her, softening inside her. “Tomorrow,” he said quietly. “I’m not sitting out again.” She smiled slow, dangerous. “We’ll see.” The front door clicked shut behind them. Silence settled. Khalid lifted his head, looked down at her. “You enjoyed that,” he said. Not really a question. She traced a finger along his jaw. “I enjoy watching you all fight over scraps of me. It makes the winning taste sweeter.” He kissed her then slow, possessive, nothing like the frantic need from earlier. She let him. They stayed tangled like that sticky, spent, breathing together until the street outside quieted and the fan’s hum was the only sound left. He would sleep beside her tonight. The others would dream of it. And tomorrow at school, the tension would be thick enough to choke on.The call came on a Tuesday afternoon, while Adeyemi was lounging by the pool in her Jumeirah apartment, skin still slick from sunscreen, a half-read novel open on her lap. Her agent’s voice crackled through the phone—excited, almost breathless. “Amina, darling, you’re not going to believe this. London shoot. High-end production. They want you specifically—your presence, your chemistry. Partner’s a Brit-Nigerian guy, mid-thirties, built like he lifts cars for fun. Script’s got that slow-burn edge you love. Flight’s booked for Friday. You in?” She paused, letting the idea settle. London—cooler than Dubai, grittier, a city she hadn’t touched since a quick layover years ago. A change from the desert heat might be good. And the script? She’d skimmed the outline they sent—intimate, power-play elements, but with her in control. Sounded intriguing. “Green,” she said simply. Her agent laughed. “That’s my girl. Pack light. They’ll have wardrobe there.” She flew business class—window seat,
The moon hung low and fat over Dubai that night—full enough to wash the city in silver, bright enough to make the sand dunes outside the city glow like spilled milk. Adeyemi had rented a small desert camp for the weekend—just her, Malik, Layla, and Zara. No agency involvement. No cameras. A private Bedouin-style setup: low cushions around a fire pit, canvas tents with open sides, lanterns strung between palm fronds. The air smelled of wood smoke, cardamom, and the faint salt of the gulf carried on the wind. They arrived at dusk. Layla immediately kicked off her sandals and ran barefoot toward the dunes, laughing as the sand swallowed her ankles. Zara followed with her sketchbook, already looking for the perfect angle to capture the firelight on skin. Malik carried the cooler of wine and fruit, glancing back at Adeyemi with that slow, knowing smile. She walked behind them in a loose white kaftan, hair down, bare feet sinking into the still-warm sand. The heat of the day lingered on
The heat in Dubai had finally cracked—just a little—enough for the evenings to carry a faint, welcome breeze off the gulf. Adeyemi had spent the day alone: long swim in the building’s rooftop pool, a new poetry collection open on the lounger beside her, skin still warm from the sun when Malik knocked at her door after 10 p.m. He stepped inside carrying nothing but a small bottle of chilled rosé and that slow, knowing smile she’d come to crave. “No bag tonight?” she asked, closing the door behind him. He set the wine on the counter, turned, and looked her over—bare legs under a thin cotton slip, hair still damp from the shower. “Tonight I only brought myself,” he said. “Thought you might want to unwrap something different.” She laughed low, stepped close enough that her breasts brushed his chest through the fabric. “Then unwrap slowly.” He didn’t speak again for a while. He kissed her first—standing in the kitchen, slow and deep, hands sliding up her thighs to cup her ass and
The Dubai summer had turned the city into a furnace air thick, sun merciless, nights that refused to cool. Adeyemi had taken a rare month off from shooting. No contracts, no call times. Just space. She spent most days reading on the balcony or walking the Marina at dusk when the heat finally broke. One evening she met him at a quiet rooftop bar in Jumeirah Malik, thirty-two, Nigerian-born, raised between Lagos and London, now running logistics for one of the big property developers. Tall, broad-shouldered, skin the deep midnight of someone who never quite left the sun behind. He wore a simple white linen shirt, sleeves rolled, the top two buttons open. When he smiled it was slow, confident, like he already knew the answer to any question she might ask. They talked for hours first about Lagos (the traffic, the food, the way the city never let you forget you were alive), then about books, then about nothing at all. When the bar started to empty he leaned in close. “Come back to my pl
The Dubai years settled into Adeyemi like fine sand warm, persistent, impossible to shake off completely. She was forty-three now. Amina Ray had become a quiet name in certain corners of the industry: not the loudest, not the most prolific, but the one people remembered for scenes that felt lived rather than staged. She worked selectively four to six projects a year, always with directors who understood restraint. She said no more often than yes. The agency respected it. Her bank account stayed comfortable. Her conscience stayed clear. Karim remained her most frequent co-star, but they’d long since stopped counting shoots. What started as chemistry on camera had turned into something steadier off it late dinners in hidden restaurants, weekend drives into the desert, nights when they didn’t touch at all, just talked until the call to prayer drifted through the open windows. Layla and Zara were still part of the circle. They travelled together twice a year Bali one time, Greece anoth
The Santorini trip happened in early spring off-season, fewer tourists, the island quiet enough to hear the sea breathe. Adeyemi flew in with Karim, Layla, and Zara. No agency cameras this time. No schedules. Just a whitewashed villa perched on the caldera cliffs, infinity pool spilling toward the Aegean, bougainvillea spilling over every wall. They arrived in the late afternoon, sun already low and golden, air thick with salt and wild thyme. Layla dropped her bag in the living room and immediately stripped to her bikini top and shorts. “I’m claiming the pool first,” she announced, laughing as she ran barefoot across the terrace. Zara followed with a sketchbook under her arm, already looking for the best angle. Karim carried Adeyemi’s suitcase inside like it weighed nothing, then paused in the doorway to watch her. She stood on the terrace in a loose linen dress, hair loose, wind tugging at the hem. The sea stretched endless below blue so deep it looked black at the edges. He step
