LOGIN[Alma]"What clarity are you talking about?" I stared at Mr Steele but he only tilted his head, stretching out those huge hands toward me again."Don't let me haul you up Princess. Give me those pretty hands. Now."I swallowed.My lips pressed into a tight line as I stared from his hand back to those hazel eyes.I wanted to say no—to tell him I wasn’t going anywhere with him until he made me understand what he meant by those words. But the way he said them… those commands had a way of unraveling me without effort.My hand moved before my mind caught up.It landed in his open palm.Warm. Solid.The same hands that had held me hours ago like I wasn’t something fragile, but something he intended to completely take apart and put back together at his own pace.My breath caught at the memory.Mr. Steele’s mouth curved slightly, like he knew exactly what was going through my head."Good girl," he murmured.His fingers tightened around mine just enough to remind me I wasn’t going anywhere.Th
[Alma]"Is he being serious right now?" I whispered for what felt like the umpteenth time, my eyes fixed on Mr. Steele beside me. His hand was still firm around my waist, holding me as though I might vanish the moment he let go.But that wasn't the fucking funniest part.He had his head tilted back, resting against the headrest of the car, sleeping like he didn't just force me to get dressed to God knows where.And now here we are. The car had been parked for over thirty minutes, but he still hadn’t let go. His hand stayed firmly around my waist, his chest rising and falling in a slow, steady rhythm.I shifted my gaze toward the driver. His attention was locked on Mr. Steele through the rearview mirror, his brow drawn tight, confusion etched deep into his face."Okay, if you really want to sleep here till dawn, can you at least let go of me?" I whispered, staring up at him.He didn't bulge.His eyes were still shut tight, those lashes casting shadows over his face as the warm amber g
[Alma]"Remember, you respect your husband so much, don't you?"I would have preferred another slap to my already bruised cheek than hearing him say those words back to me with his fingers deep into my pussy.I opened my mouth to say something, only to shut it back because I had absolutely nothing to say.A smirk curled up his lips—that same smirk that makes me want to slap him and kiss him at the same time."Don't you think it's wrong?" Mr Steele murmured. "Begging to cum on my fingers when you respect your husband so...""Just stop!" I yelled, trying to control how loudly my heart was thumping. "You talk like I chose this... It's all your fault... And right after this trip, this has to come to an end... I... oh fuck!" A loud moan burst from my throat as he pulled out and drove back in with force."It has to do what?" He leaned in, tilting my head to stare into his eyes. "Tell me?"His finger curled into that dangerous spot, and I fucking saw stars.My body jerked, my eyes rolling de
[Zevyn]"I don't even remember him..." That was all I heard her say when I walked in, and then I watched as she raised her hand and smacked her cheek hard.I'm not a man of emotions. I don't know how to console people and I sure as hell don't know how to be nice; it's never been in my nature.But the sight of that bruise blooming across her cheek like spilled ink made something ugly twist inside my chest.I'd walked in just in time to stop her from doing it again.For one brief second, I wanted to grab her chin, force her to look at me, and tell me exactly what could drive a woman to hit herself hard enough to leave marks.Alma whimpered in my arms, pulling me back to the kiss as she wrapped her arms around my neck.It's not the first time I've kissed her and I knew she wasn't kissing me because she needed it. She kissed me like someone trying to outrun a thought.Like someone desperate to think about anything else.And if she wanted to use me to forget whatever was going on with her,
[Alma]The moment I looked up and saw the figure in front of me, my body locked.Like something inside me had been grabbed mid-motion and held there.Mr Steele was right there.One hand in his pocket. The other hanging loose at his side. But it wasn’t his posture that got to me — it was his eyes.His brows were pulled together, that faint crease between them deepening like whatever he was seeing wasn’t making sense.My chest reacted before my thoughts even formed properly — a hard, sudden slam against my ribs that made my breath catch halfway in.When did he walk in?The thought hit too late.Because I hadn’t heard anything.Not footsteps. Not the door. Not even the shift in air that should’ve come with him.How the fuck did I not notice?My fingers went slightly numb.My throat tightened like it was closing on the question.Did he hear me say anything?My breath stalled right there, stuck behind my ribs like it didn’t know where to go next."You’re… You’re back?" I said.The words ca
[Alma]My fingers paused on my keyboard for what had to be the hundredth time as I stared at the closed oversized door, my brows drawing together as my gaze lingered on it far longer than it should have. "Why did he rush out like that?" I whispered under my breath, replaying the way Mr Steele had rushed out all over again.At first, I'd convinced myself he'd rushed out because he was late for somewhere important, maybe some business meeting or something work-related, but the more I thought about it, the less it made sense.There had been something in the way he looked at me before leaving, the way his eyes stayed on me for just a little too long as though he wanted to say something but couldn't, and somehow that unsettled me more than if he'd walked out without a word."It's still none of my business," I reminded myself again, dragging my attention back to the glowing iPad screen in front of me.I saved the few chapters I was done working on, my fingers moving almost mechanically ove
