“Give me one reason, Liv.” He stalked toward me, cornering me against the edge of the desk. “One good reason why I shouldn’t bend you over this desk and fuck you senseless.” My breath caught. “This is wrong, Damon. So wrong.” I pressed my palms flat against his chest, trying to create space. “You’re my brother-in-law…” “Not yet, love,” he whispered, fingers curling around my waist possessively. “You’re still engaged to him, but the man you’ll be getting married to…” Two fingers slipped into my heat, making me gasp. “…is me.” I should’ve walked away. I should’ve resisted. But I couldn't forget what it felt like to be his. * Olivia have the perfect life. The perfect fiancé. Marcus is everything she thought she wanted—sweet, charming, dependable. Safe. She thought she have it all figured out... Until the night of her engagement party, when she comes face-to-face with Damon—her ex.

Olivia; I was a mess. My heart slammed in my rib cage as I stared at the massive building through the car window beside me. “Come on, Olivia,” my fiancè, Marcus Kingston, said softly, and I turned to stare at him, his deep blue eyes trying to give me all the reassurance I needed, but I was far from being calm. “You need to relax, baby. You've been fidgeting throughout the ride. Barely even said a word.” “ What if they don't…y'know, like me?” My voice was low, but desperate. My other hand absentmindedly flicked the engagement ring on my left finger. A habit I'd grown accustomed to since Marcus proposed. Don't get me wrong, I love Marcus, but I just didn't know why I was this nervous. Maybe it was because I'd never officially met the Kingstons and I sure as hell had never been engaged before. "You're kidding," he chuckled, "our marriage is literally arranged by both families, Liv. I don't see why you should be this nervous." "I know that. But this is the first time I'm officially meeting them. I'm allowed to be a little nervous." "And I love that you care, baby. I do too. This shows that this is more than an arranged marriage." He smirked. “Yea, but...can we reschedule?” I took off the seatbelt and climbed onto his lap, finding his lips for a kiss. “We cant.” He wrapped his arms around me, chuckling. “It's our engagement party tonight, which happens to be the only day I get to see my complete family. My sister….” “.... haven't been home for years now, and my stuck-up brother, who never values family, will be there.” I finished for him with a resigned sigh. “Took the words right out of my mouth again.” Marcus smiled and cupped my face, “Really, you have nothing to be nervous about, baby. I'm here beside you. For better, for worse?” “Hey!” I hit his chest, laughing, “You're getting ahead of yourself, aren't you?” His lips brushed over mine slowly, “ It's only a matter of time. To me, you're already my wife. I love you so much, Olivia.” He took my lips, his fingers sliding into my hair as he kissed me deeply. The hand on my waist pulled me closer. I kissed him back. Hard. Pouring my worries into it, while his lips did their best to reassure me. Still, it didn't help to untangle the knots in my belly. I slid towards him, straddling him, my hips automatically grinding against him, wanting desperately to feel him. To get rid of this ache. "Here?" he asked, breathless, looking out the car window. "Baby, we're literally...." "Please," I whispered through his mouth. "I need this." We were in his car, outside his parent's estate and right now, I don't care. I just needed something to cling to. Besides, no one can see us through the tinted glasses from outside. Marcus pulled away slightly, and trailed kisses down my neck, sucking on the skin there. "Let me help you relax, then," he murmured against my skin, his fingers sliding under the hem of my dress, slowly dragging it up to my hips. The moment the fabric was bunched at my waist, he hooked a finger around my panties and tugged them aside. The cool air met my wetness, and I shivered—part nerves, part desperate want. Then his fingers slid between my folds. Slow and unhurried at first, teasing me. I let out a soft moan when he found my clit and began circling it, his other hand pulling me closer. “God, you’re so wet for me,” he growled against my lips. My breath came out shaky as I reached for his belt, my fingers fumbling. But once I got it open and unzipped his pants, his cock sprang free, hot and hard against my palm. I didn’t wait. I rose just enough to position him at my entrance, then sank onto him slowly. “Oh—fuck,” I gasped, my walls stretching to take him in. My nails dug into his shoulders as the pressure built inside me, pleasure shooting up my spine. Marcus’s head fell back with a guttural groan, and his hands gripped my hips tightly, guiding me as I began to move. I rocked against him, slowly at first, then faster, our bodies falling into a rhythm. Each thrust sent a jolt of electricity through me. My hands slid up his chest, gripping his shoulders as I rode him, chasing that high, needing more. The sound of our bodies slapping together filled the car, filthy and breathy. He met my hips halfway, fucking up into me from underneath. His lips found mine again, and I moaned into his mouth as one of his hands slid up to cup my breast, thumb flicking over my nipple through the fabric. “You’re driving me fucking insane,” he groaned, his voice ragged. But I was already gone. The knot inside me tightened, my thighs shaking as the climax built fast and furious. I clenched around him and bit down on his shoulder to stifle the scream that wanted to rip from my throat. I came hard, my body trembling against his. Marcus cursed and followed seconds later, pulsing deep inside me as he buried his face in my neck, breathing hard. Afterward, I slumped against his chest, still catching my breath as the silence in the car wrapped around us. Marcus brushed a kiss against my forehead, his fingers trailing down my spine with comforting ease. For a moment, everything felt still, like the rest of the world didn’t exist beyond this space, this touch, this man who wanted to marry me. But that peace didn’t last long. Reality crept back at the moment I looked out the window again, at the estate, at the people already arriving, and the soft glow of lights spilling out from inside. My stomach coiled. Marcus tucked himself back in and adjusted his shirt, then leaned in with a smirk. “Still want to reschedule?” I managed a soft laugh, tugging my dress down my thighs. “Let’s just get this over with.” We stepped out of the car, hand in hand. My heels clicked lightly against the pavement as we walked up the stone path toward the grand estate. The warm evening breeze carried the scent of flowers and expensive cologne, mingled with soft jazz drifting from inside. The lights from the hall spilled through the open doors. A handful of people were already inside, dressed to perfection, glasses of champagne in their hands, and laughter echoing through the space. I straightened my spine. Smile, Olivia. You’ve got this. Marcus' hold on me tightened in reassurance, "Don't worry. They're just old relatives. They'll be gone before you know it." Then I stepped through the doorway, my eyes flickering around. And everything in me froze. At first, it was just a flicker, out of the corner of my eye. A flash of platinum blonde hair. What...? No...It can’t be. I turned fully, and there she was. Standing confidently near the center of the room, dressed in a skin-tight red gown that clung to her every curve. She was smiling, her head tilted slightly as she chatted with someone I didn’t recognize. My fingers curled into fists. My throat tightened. I couldn't swallow. What the hell was she doing here?Chapter 65Olivia;For a few seconds, I couldn’t breathe. Kimberly’s bare body was pressed against his, her arms wound around his neck, her head thrown back in pleasure. And Marcus, who had his face buried in her chest with his hands on either sides of her waist, was guiding her up and down his cock— both of them completely lost in each other.I froze at the spot. I didn’t even know what I was supposed to feel. Anger? Pain? Betrayal? I was just… numb. Watching them. Absorbing the sight like a wound I’d been expecting all along.And strangely, there was a sort of relief in that moment. Maybe because I’d been waiting for something to finally break. Maybe because I needed to see this, so I wouldn’t keep feeling guilty for my own choices. Still, it was bizarre — Marcus doing this, with his stepsister of all people.“Liv?”It was Marcus. His voice broke through the fog. I blinked, realizing he was staring at me now, wide-eyed and frozen. Kimberly turned too, shock written all over her fac
Chapter 64MARCUS;“Stop,” she whispered, pressing a finger to my lips. “Stop it.”"Why? Your mom is down there doing everything to make this wedding a success. We have been doing everything possible to ensure everything is in place for the big day. But what if all this is just a fruitless effort?""Can you just stop being so pessimistic? Come on, Marcus, give yourself a break. At least....""Can you not downplay my feelings about this. It's not a joke."She sighed, as she tangled her fingers in my hair. "I know. Just take it easy on yourself. You shouldn't be scared of Damon. Even if he plans to do anything of...that sort, he doesn't really have enough time for that. So relax, and leave the worrying to me."Somehow her voice soothed me a bit. She was staring directly into my eyes, which was fluttering as the sensations of her fingers in my hair was driving me crazy.Her breath brushed across my face as she whispered, "I should be the one most stressed about this wedding, you know?""
Chapter 63After Damon left, I sat on the bed for a long time, staring at the door, completely lost in thought. My mind wouldn’t stop replaying everything he’d said, every look, every silence that had followed.Then I stood, unable to sit still any longer, and began pacing the room.I really needed to talk to someone — to let this heavy mess out of my head — but the only person I trusted right now was Grandma. And I didn’t want to trouble her anymore. She’d done enough already.I feel guilty. The thought came out like a confession I couldn’t swallow. But should I?The proposal had caught me completely off guard, but I’d tried to be honest, careful, gentle even — not wanting to hurt him. Yet somehow, I’d ended up doing exactly that.I sighed, rubbing my arms as if I could ease the unease crawling under my skin.He’ll come around, I told myself. He will.But the words didn’t sound convincing anymore. The longer I stood there, the heavier the silence felt — thick and suffocating.Before
DAMON;An hour later, I took the last sip of the chicken soup she’d made. The warmth filled my chest, though the ache beneath it still lingered. She sat beside me, watching quietly, and then reached for a napkin to wipe the corner of my mouth.I sighed and took it from her. “I’m no longer a kid, Mother.”“I know.” She smiled, her eyes soft. “You’re still my baby boy. I can’t believe how much you’ve grown.”There was tensed silence for a while as I watched her absentmindedly tracing her fingers along the rim of her cup. I stared back at the finished bowl of soup before me, suddenly realizing how much I've really missed her.It felt like everything went downhill ever since she left. “You still love her, don’t you?”I stared at her. “i never stopped.”The period between the time she opened that front door to this moment still felt like a blur. In my need for her comfort, I'd spilled. Telling her everything. My mother and I had a very close knit relationship, but I'd harbored a--what I
DAMON;I stepped out the door on shaky legs. And a very heavy heart. Maybe this was a bad idea. Maybe this was too fast for her.But the glaring truth in front of me wasn’t hard to miss. She wasn’t certain.I dared myself to take that bold step. Maybe I was too confident of what I thought we had. Of what I thought we've been able to restore back. It was pretty obvious she’d entertained the idea of being with me, but never truly accepted it. She said she loved me — but love and trust weren’t the same thing.I dragged a hand through my hair and leaned against the wall outside her door, letting out a bitter chuckle. My chest burned, every breath cutting like glass.I pushed off the wall and walked down the hall, each step heavier than the last. My thoughts were everywhere — her face, her hesitation, the way her eyes softened when she said she loved me but followed it with a “but.”There was always a but.I didn’t blame her entirely. After what happened with Marcus, she had every reason
CHAPTER 60"I need you tell you something." He said, and my brows furrowed as I racked my brain on what it could be. "Did something happen? Is something wrong?""No, no. Just...just listen please."There was a pained look on his face. I could detect it in his voice as well, but I nodded."So you know...we, um..." He cleared his throat. "We'd only known each other only a few months back in New York when I realized I couldn't live without you Peach. You showed up that very day. The very day I saw you and I just knew you were mine."My lips widened in a half smile, but for some reason I was really anxious. I found his hands and held them between us. "Relax, baby." I murmured, "you're shaking."He smiled softly, letting in a deep breath before exhaling softly. "If had known..." He continued. "If I had known you were the same girl arranged for me. If I had known it was you all along, I wouldn't have hesitated in claiming you for myself. I wouldn't have hesitated in making you my wife."Is
