LOGINHis lips followed the path her fingers traced, leaving searing trails across her skin. She arched against him, feeling the heat of his body pressing close, every inch of him responding to her touch.
"Tell me," she whispered, her nails grazing his scalp as she tilted his face up to hers, "who do you belong to?" "You, master," he groaned, his hands sliding up to cup her breasts, his thumbs brushing over sensitive peaks until she gasped. "Only you." She guided him down again, her legs falling open to give him better access. His mouth found her most intimate spot, and she cried out, her back bowing off the bed as waves of pleasure washed over her. He took his time, drawing out every sigh, every shiver, until she was trembling beneath him, begging without words for more. When he finally rose over her, she could feel how much he wanted her—hard and ready against her thigh. She reached down to stroke him, her touch firm and deliberate, watching his eyes flutter closed at her caress. "Beg for it," she commanded, her voice husky with desire. "Please, master," he rasped, pressing kisses along her jawline. "Please let me be inside you. I need you more than air." A smile played at her lips as she guided him to her entrance, wrapping her legs around his waist to pull him deeper. He filled her completely, and they both moaned at the feeling—warm, tight, perfect. He moved slowly at first, letting her adjust, then building a rhythm that matched the pounding of their hearts. She ran her hands down his back, feeling the muscles flex beneath her touch, and dug her heels into his hips, urging him faster. He obliged, his lips crashing against hers in a kiss so fierce it stole her breath away. Their bodies moved together as one, lost in the heat of the moment, every touch sending sparks of pleasure shooting through them both. Just when she thought she couldn't take anymore, he brought his fingers to her again, and she shattered, her body convulsing with release as he followed close behind, his name a prayer on her lips. They collapsed against each other, slick with sweat and breathless, their hearts still racing. He rolled to the side but kept her close, pulling her into his arms and pressing a soft kiss to her forehead. "Sweet purple," he said quietly, using her real name for the first time, "I don't want to be just your toy." She looked up at him, her eyes still clouded with passion but growing clear with something deeper. “What, did we just fucking together once and you’re already falling for me?” She teased, a playful glint in her eyes as she stretched against the sheets. “Remember—this is just about pleasure, not love,” she reminded him, her voice turning crisp and businesslike. Then a warm smile crossed her face—one he hadn’t seen before. “But I’ll be honest… you’re incredible. Never would have guessed someone like you was a virgin.” “Who said I was a virgin?” He asked, propping his head up on his hand as he looked at her, amused. “Tsk—never mind,” she waved a hand dismissively. “At least you’re not someone I’ll regret.” She reached into her handbag and pulled out a checkbook, quickly scribbling out a sum before signing it with a flourish. Sliding the paper across the bed to him, she said, “It’s a million USD for tonight. Do well next time, and the amount will be even higher.” He accepted the check with a grin that held just a hint of disbelief. “Good deal for a ‘beginner,’” he said, sitting up to pull his clothes back on. “Tomorrow night again—masks on, lights off,” he added with a smirk. “We won’t stop until I get pregnant,” she stated matter-of-factly, then gestured toward the door. “You can go now.” Early the next morning, Purple ooked radiant—her lips pink, her skin glowing, her features as striking as ever. She found herself replaying every moment with him from the night before… until her phone buzzed with a text that pulled her back to reality. Alex: Come to the house today if you want me to sign the divorce papers. She didn’t bother replying, just switched off her phone and began getting ready to drive to the Hawthorne residence. She had no idea what he was planning, but she’d go—so long as divorce was on the table. When she walked through the door, she wasn’t prepared for what she found. Her mother-in-law was there with Alex and Amber, all three staring at her with open disdain. For two years of marriage, Purple’s mother-in-law had never treated her like family—only like a servant. She’d constantly reminded Purple that she was “lowlife” and undeserving of her son, insisting that marrying into the Hawthorne family was a privilege she should be grateful for every single day. The Hawthornes had never been a dominant force in business—until Alex married Purple, and the Hearts family began secretly funding their company. As for Amber Delgado… the woman they paraded around as a “saintly heiress” was nothing more than a demon in disguise.“Sir Echo… we’ve been trailing that woman ever since she left the restaurant. She’s heading toward the city center now. How much longer do you want us to keep watch?”Echo sat back against the leather seat, one long finger tapping slowly against his jaw, a faint, knowing smile curving his lips a smile that held secrets only he knew. He watched the figure walking alone on the sidewalk, every line of her posture, every small movement, burning into his mind like something he had already memorized.It is her, he thought, his blood thrumming hot and heavy in his veins. There is no doubt. It is the same woman who lay beneath me in the dark, who breathed my name like a prayer and a sin all at once.“I know it is her,” he murmured, so quiet the driver barely caught the words.“Who is she, Sir?” the man asked again, curiosity warring with respect.Echo’s gaze snapped back to the road, his tone shifting instantly to sharp command. “Never mind that. Just drive.”The car turned toward the old fam
Purple lifted her head, breath catching in her throat as she stared up at the man who had stepped between her and the blow. She had braced herself for the stinging impact of Amber’s palm, had already prepared herself to stand tall through the humiliation—but in a heartbeat, it never came. Echo had moved faster than her eyes could follow, catching Amber’s wrist mid-swing with a grip so firm it made the heiress gasp, the cruel sneer on her face freezing into shock.Amusement flickered in Purple’s gaze, tangled with a quiet, weary disbelief. For so long, no one had ever stepped in for her. No one had ever cared enough to block a blow meant for her, not even the man who had sworn to be her husband. Now here was a stranger, shielding her like she was worth protecting—and it made her chest ache in a way she hadn’t felt in years.“Thank you,” she said, her voice soft but steady, as she pulled herself upright. “Who are you?”The man turned his gaze to her, dark and intense, and something in h
The high-backed leather chair scraped harshly against the polished marble floor as Echo rose to his feet, the sound cutting through the low hum of the restaurant like a blade. His chest rose and fell with slow, deliberate breaths, his dark eyes sweeping over Amber with a look of quiet, scathing disappointment that felt colder than any shout.“I never thought the so‑called heiress of Heart of Jewels would carry herself with such… disheartening lack of grace,” he murmured, pressing a hand over his heart as if truly wounded—though the cruel curve of his lips told a different story. “Do you remember, Amber? Years ago, I would scrub floors until my knuckles split, run errands until my feet bled, just to hand you every penny I earned. I believed if I gave you everything, if I worked myself to the bone, I would finally be worthy of standing beside you. But I see it now. I was never the one unworthy. That title belongs entirely to you.”He sank back into his seat with effortless poise, leani
Echo rose slowly from the bed, dressing with calm, deliberate movements, every motion precise and unhurried. Before he turned to leave, he paused, his gaze lingering on her silhouette beneath the sheets.“Remember—take good care of your health,” he reminded her softly, his voice steady and sincere. “We have a long road ahead of us.”Purple nodded, a faint, warm smile touching her lips, unseen behind the mask that still separated their faces. “I will,” she replied quietly.Then he asked the question that had lingered unspoken between them “When… will I finally see your face? When do we set aside the masks completely?”Purple bit her lower lip, nerves flaring sharp and sudden in her chest. Fear coiled tight in her belly—fear that once he saw her truly, he would look at her differently, judge her, or see nothing but the discarded wife she had been to everyone else.“About removing the mask… please let me think about it a little longer,” she answered gently. “Honestly, I keep our faces
Purple sank to her knees exactly as Echo had commanded, thick beads of sweat slicing down the column of her throat to vanish beneath the neckline of her silk dress. The first stroke of her tongue drew a guttural, half‑moan curse from his lips—“Fuck!”—his hips jerking sharp and sudden, pleasure coiling so tight and white‑hot in his gut he thought he might shatter right then and there. His fingers knotted roughly in her hair, then clamped hard around the curve of her neck, and he hauled her upright only to slam her back against the mattress, the impact jolting through her bones and stealing the breath from her lungs.“Now let me serve you, master,” he rasped, his voice stripped raw with need, and his broad hands spanned her thighs to pin her open to him. Purple arched so deep her spine bowed, her head falling back as her fingers fisted tight in the sheets until her knuckles blanched white.“Fuck… that feels so good,” she breathed, her voice thin and trembling, broken on every syllable
“You’re already ready, sweet Purple,” Echo murmured against her ear, his voice low and dangerous. “I brought a few things to make tonight more interesting.”Purple’s smile was slow, shadowed. Behind his mask, his eyes glinted with wicked amusement.“What things?” she asked, arching a brow. “I’m not a child.”A soft chuckle left him. “Adults have their own kind of toys.”He opened the box just enough for her to glimpse what lay inside, and her breath caught. Heat rushed to her face, but she refused to look away.“Are those for me?” she asked, pointing to herself, half-disbelieving, half-daring.Echo’s smirk deepened. “Who else, sweet Purple?”Before she could answer, he lifted a strip of black lace and stepped behind her. His movements were careful, almost tender, as he tied the blindfold over her eyes. Darkness swallowed her whole, sharpening every sound, every breath, every brush of his fingers against her skin.Then, without warning, he swept her into his arms.“Echo—” she gasped a

“So why did you call me here?” Purple demanded, arms crossed tightly over her chest. She stood rigid and tall—every inch the untouchable woman she’d become.“Have you no shame?” Mrs. Hawthorne snapped. “You are the one who filed for divorce from my son—ungrateful brat!”“The divorce will benefit u
Echo returned to Altheya to visit his parents, pulling up to their penthouse—an estate worth billions, guarded by imposing gates and lined with luxury vehicles. Inside, pale gold floors gleamed beneath massive crystal chandeliers, and maids bowed in perfect unison.“Welcome home, Mr. Reid,” they ch
The limousine glided through the city’s wealthiest district, past gates that stood taller than houses and gardens that glowed like emeralds under streetlights. Purple pressed her palm against the cool glass, watching her old world come into focus—her world, the one she’d walked away from for love.
