MasukChapter 2 - The Deal He walked around the desk and stopped in front of me and looked down at me from a few inches away. He was taller than I'd thought and broader, up close I could see the scar on his jaw and the way his eyes moved over my face. "Take your clothes off.” I did and then I stood there in my bra and underwear in the middle of the back room of a bar with the murmur of the front room coming through the wall. Drake looked at me for a long moment. Then he reached out and put his hand flat on my stomach and slid it up under my bra and cupped my tit and rubbed his thumb over my nipple through the lace. Nghh…” "Take it off," he said. I reached behind me and unhooked my bra and slid it off my shoulders and dropped it on the floor. "Get on the desk," he said. "On your back." I lay down on the desk on my back with my head at the far edge and my legs hanging off the near edge and he stood over me and looked at me for a long moment. Then he pulled his sweater off over hi
Chapter 1 - The DebtThe bar was called The Anchor and it sat at the end of a street I'd never had any business walking down, and I stood outside it for a long time with my hands shoved in the pockets of my coat and my breath fogging in the cold before I finally pushed the door open.I walked up to the bar and stood there with my heart pounding and waited."You Sonia?"The bartender was a big man with a shaved head and a scar through one eyebrow."Yes.""He's in the back. Go through that door."I went through the door.The back room was smaller and warmer and quieter than the bar, and there was a desk in the middle of it and a man sitting behind the desk with his feet up and a phone in his hand. He looked up when I came in and set the phone down and looked at me for a long moment without saying anything.Drake was thirty-nine years old. I knew that because I'd looked him up. I knew a lot of things about him that I wished I didn't… the businesses he ran, the properties he owned, the m
Chapter 5 - Caughtso slow and deliberate. The sound of two palms meeting at a leisurely pace, one beat after another, like someone applauding a performance they'd been watching for a while. Adrian froze inside me. I turned my head toward the sound. Elena was standing at the corner of the house with her arms crossed and her weight on one hip, still in her travel coat with her hair pinned up, and she was smiling. Not a warm smile. The other kind… the kind that has nothing behind it but the pleasure of being right. "Don't stop on my account," she said. "You were both doing so well." Adrian pulled out of me so fast I gasped. I scrambled off him and into the water up to my chest and stood there with my arms crossed over my tits and my whole body going cold despite the heat. "Elena," he said. "I thought you were…" "In another country. I know." She walked toward the pool at an unhurried pace, heels clicking on the tile. "I never left. I've been two blocks away this whole ti
Chapter 4 - The Pool It was a Saturday afternoon when he called me and told me to come over. The heat had been sitting on the city for a week and the house was cool and dim behind the drawn blinds, and I found him out back by the pool with a drink in his hand and his shirt already off. "You're early," he said. "I was bored." He laughed and set his drink down and pulled me into the water with him, clothes and all, and I shrieked and splashed him and he kissed me while I was still laughing, and then the laughing stopped and the kissing didn't. He walked me backward through the water until my shoulders hit the tile wall, and he pinned me there with his hips and kissed me deep and slow with one hand fisted in my wet hair. His other hand slid down my back and under the water and grabbed a handful of my ass and squeezed hard enough to make me gasp into his mouth. "Oh… Adrian…" "Shh. Don't be loud now." "Not when you're so good.” He laughed against my throat and then h
Chapter 3 - Series of Sex The first month was the best month of my life. I learned things about Adrian that no one else in the office knew. I learned that he liked to have his hair pulled when he was close. I learned that he talked in his sleep sometimes, low murmurs I couldn't make out. I learned the exact sound he made when he came… a rough, breathless groan that started in his chest, and I learned that I would have done almost anything to hear it again. We fucked in the office after hours with the blinds down and the door locked. The first time was a Tuesday. He'd kept me late going over a contract and I'd been standing at his desk with my back to him, reading a clause out loud, and I heard his chair push back and then his hands were on my hips and his mouth was on the back of my neck and I dropped the contract on the floor without meaning to. "Lock the door," he said against my skin. I walked over on legs that already felt weak and turned the deadbolt and came back to him,
Chapter 2 - The Seduction On Monday I wore a skirt that was two inches shorter than anything I'd ever worn to the office. I told myself it was nothing. I told myself it was a warm day. But I saw the way his eyes flicked down when I walked past his door, and I felt the small hot thrill of it move through me, and on Tuesday I wore the blouse with the extra button undone and on Wednesday I did my makeup the way I did it when I went out at night, and on Thursday I dropped a file on purpose and bent over to pick it up with my back to his open door and held the position a beat longer than I needed to. When I straightened up and turned around, he was standing in the doorway of his office watching me. Neither of us said anything for a moment. Then he said, "Maya. Come in here for a minute." I walked past him into his office and he closed the door behind me and I stood there with my heart pounding and my hands at my sides and waited. "You've been doing that on purpose," he said. "I don
