Marina’s POV

I needed to find Adrian and tell him what I knew, immediately. My thoughts were spiraling too fast to sit still, and I knew if I didn’t say it out loud, it would swallow me whole.

Fortunately, Adrian was never far.

I spotted him near the corridor that led away from Vale’s wing, standing exactly where I expected him to be, arms folded, posture alert. When his eyes met mine, something like relief flickered across his face.

“Did you really think you’d lose me?” he asked lightly.

“No,”

  • Obey Me In Darkness   A Label

    Marina’s POV“If I say yes…”The words sat heavy in my chest, pressing against my ribs until I finally forced myself to breathe. I looked at each of them in turn, at the hope in their faces, at the future they were offering me so freely. My heart wanted to leap toward them. My fear held me firmly in place.“I don’t think I’m ready for an official label yet,” I said quietly. “I want this. I want you. But I need time to catch up to what my heart is feeling before I promise something I’m still learning how to hold.”The room went completely still.Lucian’s face fell, the brightness in his eyes dimming in a way that made my chest ache. Vale let out a slow, controlled sigh beside him.“Does this mean you don’t want us?” Lucian asked quietly. “You don’t want to be with us?”“No,” I said immediately, stepping closer. “That’s not it at all. I want you. I want all of you. I just… could we not label it yet? Could we see how things go without locking it into words that feel too heavy right now?”

  • Obey Me In Darkness   Terms And Conditions

    Marina’s POVI stared at Vale like the floor had just dropped out from under me.The words echoed in my head, looping, refusing to settle.The public playroom.Vale only ever took me there.My chest tightened so suddenly I had to draw in a sharp breath, like my body was bracing for a blow it recognized too well.I looked from Vale to Lucian, then to Adrian, searching their faces for something. A hint of hesitation. Guilt. Anything that would tell me I was right to feel the way I did.But they were calm. Careful. Watching me.Too careful.My silence stretched, thick and uncomfortable, until Vale finally spoke my name.“Marina.”His voice was soft, steady, the same voice he used when he wanted to ground me.It didn’t work.“Are you asking for my permission?” I asked quietly.Adrian shifted first. His expression changed, the cocky confidence fading into something more serious, more human.“We know you’ve been feeling like Vale has been pulling away,” he said. “Like he’s trying to replace

    Marina’s POVI snapped.The pressure in my chest finally tipped over into something sharp and ugly, and before any of them could say another word, I shook my head and stepped back.“No,” I said. “I am done.”Vale blinked. “Marina, wait.”“No,” I repeated, louder now. “You do not get to do this. You do not get to stand there, look at me like this is some sacred secret, and then tell me I need to earn the right to hear it.”Lucian took a step toward me. “That is not what we are doing.”“It feels like it,” I said, my voice shaking despite my effort to keep it steady. “It feels like you are closing ranks and deciding things for me instead of with me.”“That is not fair,” Adrian said.I laughed, short and bitter. “Neither is this.”I turned and headed for the door. My pulse roared in my ears. Every step felt like rejection, like being pushed to the outside of a circle I thought I belonged in.“Marina,” Vale called. “Please.”I did not slow down.“If you can withhold information that affect

  • Obey Me In Darkness   The Plan

    Marina’s POVI tossed and turned until the sheets felt like restraints instead of comfort. Every time I closed my eyes, Hugo was there. His voice. His smile. The certainty that he could reach into my life and ruin it simply because he wanted to. My heart raced so hard it felt like it might bruise my ribs from the inside.There was no point pretending I would sleep.I threw the covers aside and sat up, dragging a hand down my face. I hated that he had this much power over me. I hated that fear came so easily now, slipping into my thoughts like it belonged there. I needed something to break the spiral. Someone to remind me that I was not alone in this house full of shadows.Lucian’s words from earlier floated back to me. Any time you can’t sleep, my door is open.The thought of him, steady and warm, holding me until my breathing slowed, was enough to get me out of bed.The hallway was quiet, the lights dimmed low. As I approached Lucian’s room, I noticed the door was already open. Voice

  • Obey Me In Darkness   I’ll Help You

    Marina’s POV'I'll help you, Vale.' He responded with genuine gratitude, his voice warm and sincere. 'Thank you, Marina. You don't know what this means to me.' Curiosity drove me to probe further. 'So what do you have so far?' He explained the core of his strategy. 'We want to keep Lucian safe, but originally, Lucian was going to be on my way to torture Hugo.' I suggested an alternative that avoided real harm. 'Maybe there's a way to use Lucian against Hugo without hurting him.' He nodded approvingly. 'I like that idea.' Building on it, I proposed a deception. 'Maybe just threaten to hurt Lucian and make it seem like Lucian is here against his will.' Vale agreed it was promising. 'This is a great place to start. I'll need to talk to Lucian to finish the plan and see what he's on board for.' Relief washed over me as I thanked him. 'Okay, thank you for letting me in. I feel closer to you already.' He apologized for his earlier distance. 'I'm sorry for not coming to you after Cor

  • Obey Me In Darkness   A Kink

    Marina’s POVI left the bar and wandered away and found Adrian, Lucian, and Vale sat together on the couch in the corner of a playroom, their heads inclined toward one another in quiet conversation. From the way they were positioned, I already had a good idea what the topic was.“I have three guesses about what everyone here is talking about,” I said as I approached.Vale glanced up first. “Having Adrian work with Talia to reinforce security was a good call.”Adrian nodded. “She and I already hired a few new guys, and we’re installing more cameras. Coverage will be tighter by morning.”Lucian leaned back against the couch, his expression relaxed for once. “And you throwing a party to boost morale was the perfect move. Honestly, well done.”Vale added calmly, “But right now, I think we need to let people breathe. This is a morale night. Good morale goes a long way.”I smiled faintly. “Lucian looks like the natural party boy, but you and Adrian strike me more as the hang-around-the-edge
