Calla woke with the taste of him still on her lips.

Her body ached deliciously — a reminder of last night, of his hands, his words, his hunger. She reached across the bed.

Empty.

Damien was already gone.

Of course he was.

For a man who demanded complete control, he was a master at slipping away. And that, more than anything, scared her. Because every time she touched him, he felt a little further from reach.

She rose, wrapped herself in his oversized shirt, and moved toward the window.

The mansion grounds stretched before her — trimmed hedges, silent fountains, armed guards who pretended not to look up when she appeared.

And then she saw him.

Julian. In the east courtyard.

With someone else.

She squinted.

A woman. Lean, athletic. Red lips, short platinum hair, a serpent tattoo curling around her exposed shoulder.

Not Elira.

Someone new.

She looked like trouble.

Calla made a mental note and left the room. Something in her stomach coiled — not quite jealousy. Suspicion.

  • OBEY ME SOFTLY   THE GALA OF MASKS

    The ballroom glittered with chandeliers and laughter, crystal glasses clinking in celebration of an alliance Adrian had orchestrated with the city’s elite. On the surface, it was a glamorous charity gala. Beneath the masks and gowns, everyone here was tied to the underworld in some way smugglers, financiers, power-brokers. And Adrian Maddox owned the room. Sienna clung to his arm, her emerald dress hugging her body like sin itself. The silk neckline dipped low, chosen by Adrian himself, leaving her feeling exposed in a sea of sharp gazes. “Stay close,” Adrian murmured into her ear, his hand pressing lightly against her lower back. “This world smells weakness like blood.” “I’m not weak,” she whispered back, her chin lifting. His lips curled into a dark smirk. “No. But you’re mine. And they’ll need reminding of that.” Before she could answer, Marcus appeared. Tall, confident, dressed in a tailored black suit that shimmered faintly under the chandelier’s light. He bowed his head e

  • OBEY ME SOFTLY   A DANGEROUS GAME OF JEALOUSY

    The mansion was unusually alive that evening. Adrian had called in several of his most trusted men, and Marcus was among them. Sienna felt his presence long before she saw him. His voice carried through the hall—smooth, commanding, threaded with an ease that made her skin prickle.She entered the lounge at Adrian’s side, wrapped in a soft silk dress that clung to her curves. Adrian’s hand rested firmly on her hip, guiding her like a shadow. The men fell silent as they entered, their respect for him palpable.But Marcus’s eyes flicked immediately to her.There was nothing lewd in his gaze no crude hunger, no blatant disrespect. It was worse than that. It was cool, assessing, like he was cataloging her, peeling her apart with his thoughts alone. And when their eyes met, he didn’t look away. He held her gaze until her pulse quickened, until she had to glance down.Adrian noticed.His hand tightened on her waist, his lips brushing her ear. “Don’t look at him,” he murmured darkly. “Your ey

  • OBEY ME SOFTLY   HIS BEST FRIENDS WARNING

    The morning light streamed through the heavy velvet curtains, muted and golden. Sienna stirred against the silk sheets, her body aching deliciously from the night before. Every inch of her felt claimed, marked, used in ways that left her trembling even now. She shifted slightly, wincing at the soreness between her thighs, but the memory of Adrian’s voice whispering, mine, made her shiver with more than pain.The space beside her was empty. She blinked, her chest tightening with the sudden absence. Adrian was always there looming, controlling, omnipresent. To wake up without him watching her, touching her, sent a pang of unease through her.She pulled the sheet around herself and slipped out of bed. The mansion was quiet, save for the faint murmur of voices down the hall. She padded softly toward the sound, heart thrumming with both curiosity and nerves.As she approached, she recognized Adrian’s voice—low, hard, edged with the same darkness he’d shown at the meeting. Another voice joi

  • OBEY ME SOFTLY   THE REWARD AND THE REMINDER

    The ride back to the mansion was suffocating. The city lights blurred past the tinted windows, but Sienna barely noticed. Her body still pulsed from the brutal release Adrian had torn from her in the elevator. Her thighs trembled, her lips were swollen from his kiss, and yet—the ache inside her only grew sharper.He hadn’t spoken since they left the high-rise. He sat beside her in the back of the sleek black car, his expression unreadable, his hand resting on his thigh instead of on her. The absence of his touch was torture. Every inch of her craved him, screamed for him, but she didn’t dare beg. Not yet.When the gates to the mansion opened and the car rolled inside, Adrian finally turned his head. His gaze pinned her in place, making her heart slam against her ribs.“You held yourself well,” he said, his voice low, steady. “You didn’t flinch when they looked at you. You didn’t falter when I touched you.”Her breath shuddered. “I… I tried.”“You obeyed,” he corrected. His eyes darken

  • OBEY ME SOFTLY   BLOOD AND OBEDIENCE

    The air in the boardroom was thick with smoke and tension. Sienna could feel it clinging to her skin as if the walls themselves had soaked up decades of violence and whispered threats. The table was long, sleek, polished wood, but the men around it carried an edge sharper than any blade. Their tailored suits couldn’t disguise the tattoos crawling up their necks, the scars etched into their hands, the aura of men who had killed before—and would do it again.Adrian guided her to a seat just beside him, his hand never leaving her thigh. Not casually on her knee, not gentlemanly on her wrist—no. His palm pressed firmly against the inside of her thigh, fingers splayed just close enough to make her pulse stutter. It wasn’t affection. It was possession.She sat, trembling inwardly, but his touch anchored her. More than that, it branded her. She was painfully aware of the way the others glanced at her, their eyes narrowing, their mouths twitching with smirks they didn’t dare let fully form. A

  • OBEY ME SOFTLY   A DANGEROUS CLAIM

    The night air was heavy, carrying the faint hum of the city far beyond Adrian’s mansion walls. Sienna sat on the edge of the leather armchair in his study, her body still sore from the punishment he had dealt her the night before, her skin carrying the echoes of his control. She had thought he’d be finished with her, at least for a few days. But the knock at the front gate and the sudden shift in his mood told her otherwise.Adrian straightened, phone in hand, his expression hardening as he listened to the voice on the other end. He didn’t raise his voice, didn’t curse, but the subtle tightening of his jaw and the way his eyes darkened sent a ripple of unease through her. Whoever was on the line wasn’t delivering good news.When he hung up, the silence between them stretched like a blade.“What happened?” Sienna asked, her voice smaller than she wanted it to be.Adrian’s gaze flicked to her, sharp, assessing, as though deciding how much she deserved to know. He crossed the room, every
