My life. our plans, and all the money we thought we would have once Kaida was out of the picture.It was too bad that instead of celebrating her death, it was Lucien fighting for his life in the hospital. And if it was anything from my last chat with the doctor—the cops had barely allowed it—even if he survived, he wasn't going to be like he was before.And no one gave a fuck about us. The scandal already painted us as the villain, and with Lucien kidnapping my dad and then proceeding to try and rape Kaida in the conference room before he was shot by security—that was the story going around—there was really no coming back for us.I let out a heavy sigh, then let my head fall against the sofa, my eyes slipping closed. At least this way, I could escape reality for a few seconds.I couldn't.My company was gone, and soon the bank was going to come for me, like blood-hungry hounds, to take over everything. And it all circled back to one person.Ka
KAIDA REED POV I shattered with a scream, my orgasm ripping through me like lightning. My walls pulsed around him, milking his thick length as waves after waves of pleasure crashed over me. Tears pricked at the corner of my eyes, my nails breaking skin as he thrust through my climax until I was a trembling, oversensitive mess underneath him.Only then did he chase his own release. With a guttural groan, he slammed deep one final time, spilling hot and thick inside me. The feel of him pulsing, claiming me so completely, triggered an aftershock that almost had me seeing black for a second. It was so intense, I thought I would die.We stayed locked together for long moments, his weight pressing me into the bed, his cock still buried deep as he softened. Then his hand loosened on my throat, his fingers sliding up to cup my cheek instead as his eyes held mine. The tenderness in his eyes, his touch...after all that roughness had my lungs closing up with overwhelming emotions. And those e
KAIDA REED POV I gasped as Zavian's fingers tightened on my jaw, a treacherous heat blooming low in my belly at how rough he was being with me. God, why did this scare me and turn me on at the same time?"Do you understand. Nod if you do," he murmured, his voice a velvet rasp against my ear, "give me a little nod and I might just have a little bit of mercy on you," he said while actively holding me down and making sure I couldn't move even a muscle."You won't nod, right? Does that mean you want to be punished instead?" He asked, his hand sliding from my hip to the curve of my ass and squeezing hard enough that I knew his fingerprints would linger. Then, without warning, his palm cracked down in a sharp smack that echoed in the silent room."Ah!" I cried out, my body jerking in shock, but I didn't get to break his hold or even move an inch and that made me panic a little. "Zavian—""Count them," he ordered, his tone dark with promise. Another smack landed on the same spot, harder thi
KAIDA REED POV I gasped awake, the bright white light blaring directly into my eyes from the ceiling making me wince."Ugh," I groaned, my eyes squeezing shut for a moment. "Where am I?"Feeling a bit out of it, I slowly sat up, my hands moving to my chest and feeling over my heart to check if it was still beating, then I let it crawl toward where the needle had pinched me as the memories from before I passed out flooded into my head."He really did that huh," I muttered as I felt the slightly sore raised skin. "I know he's a total psycho, but did he really have to..." I started to turn my head, then froze, my heart skipping a beat as I came face to face with Zavian."Zav... Zavian?"He closed the book in his hand, the expression on his face unreadable as they bored into mine."I'm a psychopath huh?" He asked, arching an eyebrow, then without warning, he leaned in, his hands slamming down on the bed.I flinched, my breath hitching as his familiar scent filled the air between us. The
YILENA HOLT POV His jaw clenched hard, his eyes blazing but it wasn't just with anger, there was desire too and no matter how much he denied it, he wanted me just as bad as I did."Do you dare to deny it," I whispered as I let my other hand drift lower, fingertips dipping just beneath the waistband of his pants. His abs tightened instantly."You can lie to yourself all you want, but I know the truth..." I kissed the side of his neck, then bit down gently, tasting salt and skin. He hissed, hips jerking forward as much as the waist belt allowed. The small movement made me dizzy with want. Fuck. I wanted more."I don't want you," he gritted, tongue darting over his dry lips."Liar." I cupped him through his pants, feeling the growing hardness there despite his clenched jaw. "You're hard for me and you still try to deny it?""Yilena," he warned again, but his voice had roughened further, breath hitching when I squeezed lightly. "Don't—""You turned me into this Kaiser," I interrupted, my
YILENA HOLT POV Kaiser was the one behind the door. My heart skipped, then started pounding, every beat of it drowning out the pain from before. "How..." I started, my voice trailing off as I slowly moved toward him."I told you I was going to make him yours, didn't I?" She asked drawing my gaze from Kaiser. "I always keep my word."I turned to face Kaiser, my mouth drying at the sight of him. He was firmly secured against a heavy wooden St. Andrew's cross bolted firmly at the center of the room. His arms were stretched high and wide, wrists bound tightly with thick black leather cuffs padded just enough to prevent immediate bruising but not enough to offer any real comfort.His legs were spread apart too, ankles secured to the bottom of the X with matching cuffs. A wide leather belt wrapped around his waist and cinched him tight to the center of the cross, keeping his torso completely pinned so he couldn't twist or slump even if he tried.I swallowed hard as I stared at his bare
KAIDA REED POV I walked into the house, my heart drumming as Lucien’s heavy footstep echoed behind me.Why the hell wasn’t he running off like he normally did in the past?Was he planning to spend the night? With me?I stopped dead in my tracks.There was no way.I slowly turned to face him, my ha
KAIDA REED POV Lucien was going to lie to the very end.I even gave him an out, but just as I expected, he didn’t take it, because despite what he’d said in the past about killing me because I’d manipulated his emotions into marrying me, the truth was that it had only ever been about the money he
HELENA REED POVYilena glanced up, her brows furrowing as she saw me."Why are you back so early?"I threw my purse on the table and then dropped into the couch. "I need a drink.""Already? Don’t you think it’s too early to drink?""After the shitty day I had, it’s not."Yilena scoffed, got up, and
KAIDA REED POV Zavian’s eyes held mine captive, and they burned with such an intensity that it had my breath catching in my throat. I couldn’t look away.I stood, pinned in place, but it wasn’t out of fear. It was something heavier. Something almost forbidden.I blinked, my hands clenching the sid
