Lyra spent the rest of the morning in her room, trying to distract herself with work emails and gallery business.

But she couldn't focus.

Her mind kept drifting back to Damien. To the way he'd touched her in the library. To the dark promise in his voice. To the tenderness when he'd wiped away her tears.

What did he want?

And more importantly, what did she want?

Around two in the afternoon, there was a knock on her door.

"Lyra?" Isabelle's voice. "May I come in?"

"Of course."

Isabelle entered, l

Isabelle asking about Damien was awkward and intense! Lyra also didn't tell DarkVeil about what Isabelle asked her.

    "It's not mine yet.""It could be.""It might be." She set the bowl down carefully on the table. "Ask me again in a month.""I will.""And in the meantime.""Yes?"She crossed the room and put both hands flat on his chest, over the soft gray wool, and felt his heart pounding under her palms."Show me the bedroom," she said. "I want to see if the bed is still ridiculous."His breath caught. His hands came up to cover hers. And his eyes, in the last gray light from the garden, went dark and warm and slow and certain."It's still ridiculous," he said.***They were still in the bedroom at nine that night.The big room was dark except for the faint glow of the garden lamps beyond the glass. The sheets were a tangle. Her hair was damp, and her limbs felt weightless, as though she'd been taken apart and put together again slightly differently. Damien lay on his back beside her with one arm flung over his eyes and the other wrapped around her waist, and every now and then he made a low, cont

    She took his hand. She didn't have much choice. She stepped down onto the pavement with her knees not entirely steady, and the cold wind came off the river and pulled at her coat, and she let him lead her up the three steps. A man in a dark jacket stood just inside the door, and nodded once, and said, "Mr. Nightbane. Miss Lyra," and vanished silently into a side room.The foyer was warm and dim and smelled faintly of cedar. A staircase climbed along one wall, polished wood, with a runner the color of ink. Marble underfoot. The same marble, she thought, that her heels had clicked on months ago, It felt like years."Damien," she said quietly. "Why here?"He closed the door behind them. The sound of the street went away.He stood for a moment with his back against it, with his coat still on and his hands at his sides, looking at her. In the low light of the foyer, his face was very serious."The penthouse is where I hold meetings," he said. "It's glass and leather and board members. It's

    "That I'm leaving. That I'm choosing him and not you." Lyra's voice shook. "I'm not. I'd come home every Sunday. I'd call every night if you want. I only... Mama, I don't know how to say it without hurting you. I need to be somewhere where I'm not afraid of every floorboard."Isabella was silent."I know it's soon," Lyra said. "I know the timing is terrible. If you ask me to stay, I'll stay.""No.""Mama....""No." Isabella lifted her hand. She smoothed a nonexistent crease from the tablecloth. Her eyes were bright. "No, I won't ask you that. I want to, God knows. I'd like to lock you in your room and throw away the key." A tiny, shaky laugh. "But I think I've done enough of that, in my way.""You haven't.""I have." She looked down at her hands. "I did it for years. I held you so close that you couldn't breathe, and then I wondered why you ran to Rome. I don't want to do it again."Lyra's throat tightened."I'd like to ask you something," Isabella said. "Is he good to you?""Yes.""D

  • Pleasured By My Elder Brother   Chapter 337: Moving Out

    The house was quiet for four days.It was not a peaceful quiet. It was the quiet of a place where everyone was being careful. Aldrich came and went with his leather case. A counselor named Dr. Hale, recommended by Isabella's own physician, arrived on Monday afternoon and spent an hour with Karla behind a closed door in the south wing. Karla came down to dinner each night in a plain cardigan, ate a little, said "thank you" to the housekeeper, and went back upstairs. She spoke to no one unless spoken to. When she did speak, her voice was soft and polite, and Lyra, watching her across the table, couldn't tell whether she was seeing remorse or a very good imitation of it.Isabella moved through it all like a woman walking on a frozen lake. She was gentle with everyone. She poured tea. She asked Victor if he'd slept. She kept stopping in the middle of rooms with a look on her face as if she'd forgotten why she'd come in.On the fourth evening, Damien found Lyra on the window seat at the to

    "Listen to me." Isabella came back across the room and knelt in front of the window seat, so their eyes were level. She took Karla's hands. They were cold, and trembling, and thin. "I'm going to tell you what happens now, and I need you to hear all of it."Karla nodded."You will not go to the studio. You'll give your keys to Mr. Aldrich. Your access to every account is gone. You'll stay in this house. You'll see a counselor, someone good, someone I choose, twice a week. And you will sit down with Mr. Aldrich and tell him everything. Every login, every payment, every person you spoke to. Everything.""And if I do?""Then we'll decide the rest together. As a family.""That's all?""That is the only thing I can promise."Karla was silent for a long time. A tear fell onto Isabella's wrist. She did not wipe it away."You're not angry," Karla said at last, wondering."I'm furious," Isabella said. "I'm so angry I can hardly stand. And I am also your mother. I find I can be both."Karla's fa

    "I wanted her not to have it."It was said so simply that it took Isabella a moment to hear it."Karla.""You asked me to be honest." Karla lifted her head. Her eyes were very bright. "I'm being honest. I didn't want her to have it. I didn't want her to have anything.""Why?""Why?" A short, dry laugh. "Mama. Do you really need me to say it?""I'd like to hear it."Karla set the book aside. She uncurled her legs and sat forward, with her hands gripping the edge of the cushion, and when she spoke her voice was low and rough, nothing like the soft, sweet voice she used at the dinner table."I was born in this family. I'm the one who should have grown up in this house. I'm the one who should have had the room at the end of the east hall and the window seat and the blanket that you couldn't move. You didn't know. That's what everyone says. Nobody knew. It was an accident. And I believe that. I do. But it doesn't change what happened.""I know.""Do you?" Karla's voice shook. "I grew up in

    Lyra set her phone down with shaking hands and stood up.Her legs felt weak, her body hypersensitive. Every movement of fabric against her skin made her gasp.She walked to the full-length mirror in her room and looked at herself.Her hair was disheveled from the flight and the stress. Her face was

    Lyra stared at her phone screen, her heart still racing from the encounter in the hallway.DarkVeil: Welcome home, little one.

    Her phone screen glowed accusingly in the darkness, her shameful confession staring back at her. With shaking hands, she minimized the app and clutched the phone to her chest, heart hammering so hard she thought it might break through her ribs.Footsteps on the stairs.Light, measured and feminine.

    Lyra's fingers trembled as she typed, the blue glow of her phone the only light in her darkened bedroom.LyraNight: I thought about him again today.
