LOGAN
I realized, far too late, that I had broken years of discipline in a single night and the days after. For years, I had stayed away from unnecessary entanglements. No distractions, no meaningless sex. I had convinced myself that physical desire was just that 'physical' and nothing I couldn’t control. And yet, I had woken up in a hotel suite, tangled in sheets that weren’t mine, with the undeniable scent of sex still clinging to my skin. At first, I told myself it was because I had gone too long without it, and that was the easiest explanation I could give myself. The simplest one, but something gnawed at me the moment I opened my eyes. Something felt off. My head had been heavy, and my limbs weighed down by a sluggishness that wasn’t just exhaustion. The memories were hazy, fractured at the edges, like a puzzle with missing pieces. I could recall flashes of heated skin, breathless laughter, the way my hands had roamed without restraint, but there was something else. Something I couldn't put my finger on. She had been asleep beside me, her body curled up beneath the sheets, dark hair sprawled across the pillow. She had looked peaceful. As if the night before hadn’t been something reckless and impulsive. As if she belonged there. That was what unsettled me the most. I should have felt guilt. Regret. Something that made sense, but all I had felt was conflicted. I had no idea who she was, yet I knew that this night had been different. The way I had touched her, the way I had wanted her, had gone beyond simple lust. It had been raw, urgent, almost desperate, and I don't do desperate. Maybe that was why I had forced myself out of bed. I had dressed quietly and slipped out quietly, and somehow, fate decided that we were going to meet again, and this time, I wasn't going to let her go. I pressed her against my desk, my lips hovering over her ear as I whispered hotly, “I am going to fuck you for the rest of today. Don't worry about getting caught.” My fingers slipped beneath the thin strap of her panties, dragging them down her legs with practised ease. She slipped onto the table, parting her legs wide enough for me to yank them off effortlessly. Her breath mingled with mine as she hastily undressed, not even waiting for me to finish before crashing her lips against mine in a heated kiss. Her top landed somewhere behind her, forgotten, as my hands found her bare skin. She threw her head back, eyes fluttering shut, a moan spilling from her lips as I touched her. Fuck, she was beautiful. I took a step back, drinking in the sight of her naked upper body. My cock throbbed when she bit her lower lip and ran her hands over her breasts, teasing her nipples between her fingers as she shot me a come-hither look. Bold. Just the way I liked them. She knew what she wanted. She always went straight to the point, and I respected that. “What’s taking you so long, Logan?” she drawled, her voice dripping with lust. Her lips slackened, her eyes dark with need. Lifting her perfectly pedicured feet onto my desk, she spread her legs, revealing her wetness to me. “I risked my job for you.” I hissed through my teeth. “Fuck it,” I muttered, stepping back between her legs. I wrapped my fingers around her throat, pinning her deep into the desk as I captured her lips in a bruising kiss. My teeth sank into her lower lip, tugging at it, and she whimpered under my grip. She liked it. Just the way I did. She tried to roll her hips against me, desperate for friction, but I held her in place. I hated it when a woman tried to take control. That wasn’t how I played. I dominated. Always. My other hand trailed down her collarbone as I moved my lips from her mouth, peppering kisses down her chin. Catching her earlobe between my teeth, I nipped at it, relishing the way she shivered beneath me. My lips traced the delicate skin of her neck, inhaling her scent of roses and something deeper, richer. “You wore my favorite perfume, huh?” I murmured, my fingers catching her nipple, rolling it between my fingertips. She whimpered in response. “You know why you’re here, don’t you?” “Y-yes,” she whispered, voice thin with need. “Why?” I tightened my grip around her throat, just enough to make her squirm. She tried to grind against me again, and again, I pushed her back roughly. “Fucking speak,” I ordered. “And don’t try to take control. You should know by now that I’m in charge. Always. You submit to me. Now, why are you here, and what the fuck do you want, little slut?” “I am here because I want you. I work for you as an employee and as your slut,” she breathed against me as I teased her nipples, my cock pressing against her thigh. She wanted me as much as I wanted her, and her feelings didn’t matter. They never did. She knew that. “Is that all? Doesn't the money matter to you, too?” I asked, sinking my teeth into her shoulder. She gasped, fingers digging into my shirt. “I came here so you could fuck me,” she admitted breathlessly. “Money, too?” She sounded weirded out but I didn't care. A smirk tugged at my lips. Now, that's what I wanted to hear. “Now, spread those legs wide enough so I can see you.” She obeyed instantly. I pulled out a seat and sank into it, watching as she balanced her weight on the edge of my desk. My eyes raked over her silky thighs and her clean-shaven core, glistening with need. She squirmed, desperate for relief, but she didn’t touch herself. She knew better than that. She waited for my command. “Touch yourself for me, Isabella,” I ordered, drawing out her name with my thick accent. I knew how much women loved it. I could talk a stranger into stripping just by speaking. Her hand trailed down her belly, scraping her pubis before she tapped her wetness, letting me hear the obscene squelch. My cock throbbed painfully against my slacks as I undid my belt, groaning as I watched her circle her fingers around her clit. She threw her head back, leaning on one elbow as she pleasured herself. Her other hand found her breast, teasing it as she moaned. “Now, finger-fuck that pussy for me,” I growled, wrapping my fingers around my cock. She obeyed, slipping her fingers inside herself with ease, crying out as she picked up a rhythm. I stroked myself in time with her movements, groaning at the sight of her writhing on my desk, so fucking desperate for me, but I was a wickedly desirous man. “Don’t you fucking come,” I snarled. She whimpered but obeyed, and I was done playing. I surged to my feet, grabbing her hips and pulling her roughly against me before slamming into her. She screamed, not caring if the entire office heard. I felt lightheaded, drunk on her, on this, on the animalistic hunger consuming me. I pounded into her, gripping her so tight I knew she’d bruise. She screamed my name at the top of her voice, over and over, her pleasure raw and untamed. When she was close, I pulled out, flipping her over with ease. I arched her hips, smacking her ass hard enough to leave my mark, and she moaned as I slammed back into her from behind. She grabbed the desk, her knuckles white, as I thrust into her mercilessly. Gripping her hair, I yanked her upper body back, crashing my mouth over hers. The kiss was rough, desperate, our bodies moving in a frantic rhythm. My hand wrapped around her throat again as I fucked her. Her breasts bounced wildly with each thrust, and I grabbed one, kneading it roughly. “Logan,” she choked out, voice trembling. “Logan! I’m gonna come! Please!” “You only come when I tell you to. Get that?!” “Y-yes!” I bit into her back, tasting the mix of her sweat and expensive skincare. “Hmm… That’s my good girl.” Her legs trembled, but I didn’t stop. I was close. My thrusts turned erratic, my breathing ragged as the pressure coiled in my gut. Lifting her off the desk, I carried her across the room, still buried inside her. I was relentless, pounding into her with the force of a stallion, my strength unyielding. I slammed her against the wall, forcing two orgasms out of her before finally releasing inside her. She thrashed against me, her nails raking down my back, her teeth sinking into my skin. Her body sagged against mine, utterly spent. I slid out of her, breathless, and stepped away. Without a second glance, I walked to the bathroom to clean up, returning a moment later to pull on my slacks. She sat on the floor, watching me with wide eyes. “Go wash up,” I said coldly. “And when you’re done, leave.” “What? Logan—” I gave her a sharp look. “I have to be somewhere. I don’t do cuddles.” A smirk curled my lips. “Great sex, by the way.”ISABELLAThe moment I stepped inside, I felt it.That sudden drop in temperature as the cool air wrapped itself around my skin like a silk shawl. A whisper of citrusy air freshener danced faintly through the space, almost too pristine for something that already felt like it belonged to me.My sandals made a soft tap against the polished tiles, and the echo of my footsteps bounced off the walls like the place was welcoming me with open arms.It didn’t smell like food yet. There were no burnt garlic or sizzling spice trails, but it had the rich scent of new paint, soft woods, and fresh polish. There was still something ceremonial about it. As though I wasn’t just walking into a building. I was walking into a promise made flesh.My eyes swept across the main dining area. Every table was strategically placed for flow, intimate corners near the arched windows, and broader ones in the centre for groups. The chairs were dark mahogany, matte, and warm, contrasting against the cream floors tha
ISABELLAI tried to focus on the road signs, the way the city sprawled past in steel lines and glass teeth, but nothing could compete with the heavy weight ballooning quietly in my chest. I sat still beside him, hands folded on my lap, eyes pretending to follow the blur of motion outside the tinted windows. But inside, I was twisted into something raw and shivering.All I could think about were those damn comments. Words I hadn’t asked to see. Words I couldn't unsee.“I miss when he would make posts like this and tag his woman as the person behind his success.”His woman.My jaw clenched before I could stop it. My body had already betrayed me before my brain could step in with its well-rehearsed script about how I didn’t care. How it didn’t matter. How Logan could have a million past lovers and how it had nothing to do with me snd yet here I was, blinking too fast and sitting too stiffly, wondering what kind of woman made the internet collectively mourn her absence.His ex had to be
ISABELLAI woke up to the smell of coffee, the soft hint of it curling beneath my nostrils and teasing me back into consciousness. My lashes fluttered open slowly, and the ceiling came into focus first, a pale ivory that I knew too well, and it took all of five seconds for my mind to register the obvious, I was in my room.Not on the couch, not on the balcony, not halfway drooling on a cushion with a half-eaten popcorn kernel under my thigh but in my room.I sat up slowly, blinking hard. My fingers gripped the edge of the duvet as flashes of last night came back in a lazy montage. Logan's warm chest, the weight of his arm, his soft chuckles during the movie, the way he held me so carefully when I started to break down, like he was scared touching me wrong would make me shatter and then… nothing. I’d fallen asleep and clearly, he’d carried me to bed.I groaned loudly.God, how much did I weigh? Why the hell did I suddenly feel like a cement block with legs? I climbed off the bed and s
LOGANI left the balcony grinning like a damn teenager, like one of those overexcited kids who just got told their crush likes them back and suddenly thinks life’s a fairytale.My hands were shoved deep into the pockets of my sweatpants, and there was this ridiculous lightness in my steps I couldn’t even explain. One stupid kiss and now I was walking around like the world suddenly made sense.Then I saw the maid.She was hovering near the hallway, eyes darting around like she was either trying to remember what she came here for or trying to find a place to disappear into.The grin fell right off my face. “Why are you standing and looking around like a lost spirit?” I asked, voice flat and a little colder than necessary.She blinked, flustered, mouth opening to form some excuse, but I didn’t wait to hear it. I was already turning the corner, climbing the stairs back to my room. I wasn’t in the mood for awkward stammering and over-explaining. Not tonight.Inside, I stripped lazily, lett
LOGANThe silence that followed my father’s declaration was enough to wrap around my throat and choke me. I stood there for a beat too long, fingers curled tightly into fists at my sides, jaw locked, teeth clenched. My body felt stiff, like it had been plunged into ice water. “You want me to what?” I said slowly. “Take over your company? That’s what this is about?”He looked amused. That goddamn, tired amusement he always wore like some ancient crown he refused to take off. “Don’t look so surprised, son. You’re not exactly the first person I thought of, but I figured since you’re already floating around doing that… hockey thing, this could give you some real direction.”My nostrils flared. “That hockey thing?”“Yes. The ice-skating puck game or whatever it is.” He gave a dismissive flick of his wrist. “Fun, yes, but hardly a real career. Certainly not something to hang your future on."“Wow,” I muttered, dragging a hand down my face, heat crawling up my neck like it was preparing to
LOGANI had no idea how to process what had just happened.The whole thing with Isabella… it had thrown me off completely. The accusation and how she had spoken to me like I was an uncle? I didn’t see it coming. I never thought she’d go that far, especially after everything I’d done for her.The lengths I’d gone to ensure the damn video didn’t spread any further, to keep her dignity intact, to be her goddamn protector in a situation where no one should’ve had to play that role.She’d called me an accomplice. She’d accused me of being involved with Ethan in releasing that video, and the worst part of it all? She actually believed it.I had to breathe through it. The kind of hurt I felt was nothing I’d ever experienced before. I could handle betrayal. I could handle being used but this was different.The way she looked at me, the way she questioned everything I had done for her. I wasn’t some cold-hearted asshole. At least, I didn’t want to be but what the hell else was I supposed to do
