MasukThe black SUV glided smoothly through the late-night streets of New York as Ronan and Kai left the hotel. Streetlights cast long shadows across the dashboard. Ronan sat in the passenger seat, jaw tight, staring out the window with a distant expression.“You look worried,” Kai said, glancing sideways while keeping his eyes mostly on the road. “Is it because of tomorrow’s full moon?”Ronan exhaled slowly, leaning his head back against the seat. “That isn’t something to worry about. I’m used to the harsh curse from the Moon Goddess already.” He reached over and opened the passenger door slightly as they slowed at a light, then closed it again once they moved.Kai wasn’t convinced. “Why does your face say otherwise then?” He reversed smoothly at the intersection and hit the highway, heading back toward Ronan’s house. The city lights blurred past in streaks of gold and white.Ronan stayed quiet for a long moment before speaking. “Aurelia isn’t opening up to me. I can only read a few of her
In the grand marble foyer of the sprawling Brooks Mansion on the outskirts of New York, soft evening light filtered through tall arched windows. Aria Marcellus stepped inside, her heels clicking against the polished floor as she dropped her designer bag with a tired sigh.“Hi Daddy,” she called out, voice warm and affectionate.An elderly but still imposing man in his mid-fifties rose from a leather armchair near the grand fireplace. Marcellus Brooks opened his arms wide, a genuine smile breaking across his distinguished face. “I am fine, and I have been alone in this big house since you don’t want to visit your old dad, little bug.”Aria laughed softly and walked straight into his embrace. He hugged her tightly, pressing a kiss to the top of her head like she was still a little girl. “Take her bag back to her room,” he instructed one of the waiting housekeepers without breaking the hug.“Dad, come on. I’m a grown lady now,” Aria protested, pulling back slightly. “And you have a lot o
Selene turned slowly on the bed, her naked body glistening with sweat under the colorful neon lights spilling through the open door. A scoff escaped her lips as she took in her daughter and Mira standing there. “If it isn’t the whore herself,” she said coldly, waving a dismissive hand at the three men still tangled with her. “Out. All of you.”The guys grumbled but obeyed, pulling on clothes in a hurry. One of the younger ones, the one who had been in her mouth moments ago, shot Aurelia a lingering wink and a sleazy smile as he passed, brushing close enough that she could smell the alcohol on him. The door clicked shut behind them, leaving the room thick with the scent of sex, perfume, and spilled wine.Selene stood up without shame, grabbing a silk robe from the floor and slipping it on. She tied the belt loosely, her full breasts still partially visible as she walked over to the mini-bar in the corner. She poured herself a generous glass of red wine, the liquid glugging loudly in th
Sunlight streamed through the heavy curtains of Ronan’s bedroom, casting warm patterns across the rumpled black sheets. Aurelia stirred slowly, her body heavy with the kind of deep satisfaction that only came after hours of intense pleasure. She blinked against the brightness, realizing she was wearing one of Ronan’s oversized black shirts. The fabric reached mid-thigh on her like a short gown, carrying his scent, woodsy, spicy, and unmistakably masculine. It clung to her curves, soft against her bare skin.She stretched, a small smile tugging at her lips as memories from last night flooded back. Ronan’s hands, his mouth, the way he had taken her apart again and again until she had begged for mercy. But when she turned to the other side of the bed, it was empty. The sheets were cool, meaning he had left some time ago.Aurelia sat up, running a hand through her messy blonde hair. She slipped out of bed, the shirt brushing against her thighs as she padded barefoot across the room. No no
Ronan’s mouth moved lower, trailing hot, open-mouthed kisses down Aurelia’s neck to her collarbone. His large hand slid under her blouse again, pushing the fabric up until cool air met her heated skin. He palmed her breast possessively, thumb circling the stiff peak of her nipple before pinching it again, harder this time.Aurelia arched off the bed with a broken moan, her fingers tightening in his dark hair. “Ronan… please…”“Please what?” he growled against her skin, nipping the swell of her breast. “Please tell you where your mother is? Or please fuck you until you can’t think straight?”She whimpered, hips rolling up against the hard ridge of his cock straining through his pants. Her body burned for him, slick heat soaking her panties, but her mind still clung to the reason she had come here.“Tell me,” she gasped, even as her legs parted wider for him. “Where is she?”Ronan lifted his head, eyes glowing with dark satisfaction. He kept one hand on her breast, rolling her nipple la
Aurelia sat at her desk on the fifteenth floor of Innovatech, fingers tapping steadily across the keyboard as she finalized a debugging report. The office hummed with the usual afternoon energy, colleagues discussing deadlines in low voices, the soft click of mice, and the occasional burst of laughter from the break room. She glanced at the clock. Four-thirty. Close enough to wrap up for the day.She saved her work, shut down her computer, and grabbed her bag. On her way to the elevator, she pulled out her phone and dialed Mira.“Hey, girl,” Mira answered on the second ring, her voice bright.“I’m done for the day,” Aurelia said, stepping into the elevator. “I’m heading to Ronan’s house now to ask about Mom’s location. You still good at the hotel?”“Actually, I’m coming with you,” Mira replied without hesitation. “I need to see Kai. He’s been ghosting me since that night, and I’m not letting that slide. I want to confront him face-to-face.”Aurelia smiled as the elevator doors opened
