PAINTED IN SIN Chapter 36: Just A Phone Call
They spent the next hour moving slowly through the space. Quentin did not rush her. He did not hover too closely either. He allowed her to stop wherever she wanted, to study brushwork, composition, texture, and emotion. Sometimes she asked questions, and to her surprise, he answered with depth. Not the shallow knowledge of a wealthy collector trying to sound cultured, but the understanding of a man who truly loved art. At one point, she stood in front of a large painting of a woman standing before a stormy sea. The brushstrokes were wild, almost violent, yet the woman’s posture was calm. Verity stared at it longer than the others. Quentin came to stand beside her. “You like this one.” “I do.” “Why?” She folded her arms gently. “Because she looks like she’s holding herself together while everything around her is falling apart.” Quentin said nothing for a moment. Then quietly, “That sounds familiar.” Verity’s chest tightened. She knew what he meant. But she chose not to answer.
PAINTED IN SIN Chapter 35: A little Ease
Verity followed Quentin out of the bedroom, still trying to pretend she was not curious. It was annoying, really. A few minutes ago, she had been sure she wanted to return to New York. She was sure that remaining in Malibu would only make everything worse. Yet now, because Quentin had said he had a surprise for her, she found herself walking after him like a woman who had not just been hurt by his words. She hated that about him. He had a way of shifting the air around her without trying too hard. One moment she was angry, the next she was curious. One moment she wanted distance, the next she wanted to know what he was thinking. It made no sense, and the fact that it made no sense irritated her even more. Quentin glanced back at her as they descended the grand staircase of the Sapphire Coastline estate. “You’re frowning.” “I am not.” “You are.” “I’m thinking.” “You frown when you think.” Verity narrowed her eyes at his back. “Do you always have to notice everything?” “Yes.”
PAINTED IN SIN Chapter 34: The Wrong Words
The sound of running water filled the spacious bathroom as Verity stood beneath the shower, her eyes closed as warm water cascaded down her body. She should have felt happy. Just an hour ago, she had been lying in Quentin's arms, sharing breakfast with him while the ocean stretched endlessly beyond the glass walls of their private Malibu estate. Everything should have been perfect. Instead, all she could hear was one sentence. “I have a girlfriend.” The words repeated themselves over and over until her chest felt tight. What was she even upset about? This marriage wasn't built on love. It was revenge. A contract. An arrangement. At least that was what she had been telling herself from the beginning. Then why did it hurt? Why did it feel as if someone had reached inside her chest and squeezed her heart? Verity turned off the water and wrapped herself in a robe. She stared at her reflection in the mirror. "You don't care," she told herself. The reflection looked unconvinced.
PAINTED IN SIN Chapter 33: Enough For A Honeymoon
Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling glass doors, warm and golden, carrying the faint sound of waves breaking against the cliffs. Verity stirred slowly, her body heavy with a pleasant ache that reminded her of every touch from the night before. She reached out instinctively, but the space beside her was empty. Quentin was gone. For a moment, she lay there, eyes half-closed, letting the memories wash over her. The way his mouth had worshipped her breasts, slow and unrelenting. His tongue between her thighs as she sat on his face, the impossible intimacy of watching him react while he brought her to shattering release. And then the way he had taken her from behind—deep, controlled thrusts that stretched her so perfectly, the edging that had driven her mad with need until they both broke together. Heat flushed her cheeks even now. Kingsley never made her feel like that, she thought, a small smile curving her lips. He would finish quickly, roll over, and leave her staring at
PAINTED IN SIN Chapter 32: Unspoken Feelings
Quentin remained buried deep inside Verity for several long moments, his body draped over hers as their breathing gradually slowed. The room was thick with the scent of their passion—sweat, sex, and the faint salt of the ocean drifting through the open glass doors. His heart pounded against her back, strong and steady, while her own pulse thrummed in her ears like the waves below the cliffs. Slowly, he eased out of her with a shared groan, careful not to jostle her oversensitive body. He rolled onto his side and pulled her gently against him, her back to his chest in a protective cocoon. One large hand stroked down her arm, over the curve of her waist, soothing the faint tremors that still rippled through her limbs. Verity felt utterly boneless, her mind floating in a haze of satisfaction she had never known before. Three shattering orgasms, each more intense than the last. Her body ached in the most delicious way, marked by his hands, his mouth, his relentless possession. For a whi
PAINTED IN SIN Chapter 31: Their Shared Pleasure
Verity’s body still trembled from the aftershocks of her second release, her thighs slick and her breathing ragged as she half-collapsed against Quentin’s legs. The sight of him—hard, glistening from her earlier strokes, pulsing with unmet need—only deepened the ache inside her. She had never felt anything like this. Kingsley had always chased his own finish, leaving her unsatisfied and hollow. But Quentin… he had unravelled her twice with nothing but his mouth and hands, worshipping her as if she were the only thing that mattered in his world. She could not wait any longer. “Quentin,” she whispered, her voice hoarse with desperation. She shifted, turning to face him fully, her eyes pleading. “Please… I need you inside me. I want to feel all of you. Fuck me. Stretch me. Make me yours completely. I’ll beg if I have to—I need it so badly.” Quentin’s dark eyes gleamed with satisfaction. He sat up slowly, one hand cupping her jaw as he studied her flushed face. A slow, predatory smi
PAINTED IN SIN Chapter 22: Feelings That Cannot Be Explained
Creating art has always come easily to Verity. It was her escape, her language, the one place where she felt completely free and in control. But right now, standing inside the beautiful private studio Quentin provided for her at the Pacific Palisades estate, it felt like the hardest thing she had e
PAINTED IN SIN Chapter 21: Disappointment
Quentin and Verity stepped into the triplex penthouse, their home now, after what felt like an endless day at their wedding reception. The door closed behind them with a soft, final click that seemed to echo through the vast, luxurious space. Verity didn’t know what was going on in Quentin’s head,
PAINTED IN SIN Chapter 20: More Than A Contract
The reception was unlike anything Verity had ever seen. As the black Rolls-Royce slowly approached the private oceanfront estate overlooking the Pacific, she found herself staring through the window in complete disbelief. The property had already been beautiful when Quentin showed it to her a few
PAINTED IN SIN Chapter 19: The Family That Needed Her
The next few days passed faster than Verity expected. Ever since Quentin announced the reception, her peaceful life inside the penthouse had completely disappeared. Every morning seemed to bring a new team of professionals through the private elevator. Event planners, designers, stylists, florist
