William Vance

The morning after the gala creeped on me. I was in my study by 5:00 AM, the blue light of my monitors the only thing cutting through the room.The house was recovering from the gala,the scent of stale champagne and wilted lilies still clung to the vents, a sickly sweet reminder of the night before.

Then, my private line buzzed. It was Marcus, my head of PR.

"Check the feed, William," he said, his voice sounding thin and professional, though I could hear the underlying tension.

    ElliasThe coffee shop was suffocatingly loud considering there were students studying in there.. I sat rigidly on the bench, refusing to lean back. My ass was still radiating a dull, throbbing heat that made every slight shift of my weight a painful reminder of my spanking.Leon took a sip of his drink, his eyes scanning my face. "You look terrible," he said, setting down his drink.I stared down at my untouched latte, my fingers tightly gripping the paper cup. My jaw clenched. "He caught us.""And?" Leon leaned forward, his interest piqued. "Did he flip out? Did he threaten to tell your mom?""No," I whispered, my face already starting to burn. I finally lifted my eyes to meet his, my voice trembling with a mix of lingering humiliation and fury. "He sent Julian out in under thirty seconds. And then...."Leon’s eyebrows shot up. "Eli, what did he do?"I swallowed hard, the coffee shop noise fading into a dull hum as the memory of last night flashed behind my eyelids. The heavy shado

    Ellias"William," I choked out, my hands flying back to brace myself against the mattress as he leaned closer. "Get off me." He reached out, his massive hand clamping around my ankle tightly. With one effortless pull, he dragged me back down the mattress until I was pinned beneath his shadow once more. “You wanted to play the brat? Fine. I'm going to treat you like one."He shifted his weight above me then flipped me over onto my stomach, pinning my lower back down with the flat of his forearm. The sheer weight of him made it impossible to breathe, let alone fight back."William, stop! Let me up!" I yelled, my face buried in the mattress, my fingers clawing uselessly at the sheets."Quiet," he ordered.He pulled me firmly across his lap as he sat on the edge of my bed. The position was entirely humiliating, leaving me completely exposed and helpless. I was panting, my heart hammering a frantic, erratic rhythm against my ribs, the skin of my bare back flushing hot against the cool ai

    ElliasFinding the match wasn't hard.Julian, a guy I shared one of my classes with. He’d been staring at me in the student lounge for about three months.All it took was a single seat next to him and a casual comment about being bored at home on a Tuesday night.By eight o'clock, his sleek silver sedan pulled into our driveway. I was waiting by the front window, watching the headlights cut across the dark lawn. Mother was at a spa resort two towns over.William’s car was parked in its usual spot. He was home."Nice place," Julian said as I opened the front door, his eyes scanning the place. He slid a hand around my waist, pulling me to him with a strong grip. "Thanks," I murmured, my eyes instantly darting toward the dark hallway leading to William’s study. The door was cracked open, a faint sliver of light spilling onto the hardwood floor.Yep, he was there."My parents are out of town," I said, raising my voice, making sure it carried down the corridor. "Come on upstairs."Julian g

    ElliasLeon stared at me, the lingering amusement draining from his face until his expression was completely blank. "You're out of your mind.""I'm strategic," I corrected, leaning back against and crossing my legs. A rush of pure adrenaline was already replacing the exhaustion from the mountain. "Think about it, Leon.He watches me. He pushes. He wants to see me break. Let’s see how he reacts when I bring someone home and smash his controlling little world right in his face.""And what happens when he tells your mother?" Leon asked, his voice dripping with skepticism."He won't," I said, my voice dropping to a fierce whisper. "If he catches me, he’ll try to handle it himself. He’ll try to punish me, or lecture me, or whatever twisted thing he does. And the second he oversteps,the second he puts his hands on me where he shouldn't,I have him. I can blow his whole life up."Leon rubbed his temples, letting out a long, heavy breath. "You are playing a dangerous game, Eli. Using sex as bai

    Ellias"And we didn't even talk!" I whined, flopping back onto the bed in Leon’s room. i was taking him through my eventful interactions with my step fathe in the woods.Leon chuckled, a low, rumbling sound. He closed his textbook,the one he’d been pretending to read for the last twenty minutes, and set it on the coffee table. "That's tough.""You think?" I forced myself up into a sitting position, my muscles still aching from that brutal mountain trail."I'm just saying... it sounds like your stepfather wants to be more of a daddy."My stomach twisted violently at his words, a hot wave of friction rushing straight up my spine. I let out an unsteady breath, my eyes locking onto his as I searched for words to counter him. But the memories of the last few days replayed in my mind like a loop of film I couldn't stop. William in the kitchen. William on the trail. William pulling down my hoodie to feel the frantic, terrified beat of my pulse. He was a commanding, demanding asshole."He lov

    Elliasmother had changed out of her heavy hiking gear and into a thick, oversized knit cardigan, which she was wrapping tightly around herself as if she were freezing to death. Her face was entirely drained of color, her skin looking almost translucent under the fading canopy of the pines.William stood up seamlessly, his relaxed posture vanishing in an instant. He stepped into his place right beside her, wrapping a heavy arm around her waist and pulling her close against his side. "Are you okay, darling?"She nodded rapidly, but her whole body was trembling, her hands clutching at his flannel shirt like a lifeline. "We need to leave. Now! We can leave everything here if we have to, but we need to leave. Elias, get your things. William, please, the keys."My own exhaustion vanished, replaced by a cold spike of dread. I forced myself to my feet, my sore thighs protesting violently from the brutal climb. "Mom? What's wrong? What did you see?"The moment I spoke, her eyes locked onto me

    ElliasWilliam’s voice was a low vibration against my skin. His gloved hand rested right against the base of my throat, his thumb pressing lightly over my pulse. I knew he could feel it.

I let my eyes linger on his face for one a second, watching the faint tremor of his lower lip before I stepped back, freeing him from the space between my boots and the chair. Elias instantly slumped against the nylon fabric, a ragged, unev
