3RD PERSON POV
The note had been slipped onto her desk as though it belonged there. No envelope, no signature—just neat, deliberate handwriting:
“I would like to continue my treatment privately. Payment made in full. Address attached.”
Vivienne stared at it for a long moment, her stomach tightening. She knew before she even saw the scrawled address whose name was behind it. Dante.
By the time she signed out of the hospital, dusk was painting the sky in slow bruises of purple and orange. She told herself it was only professional—patients had home care all the time. Yet her pulse betrayed her, quickening with every mile toward his house.
When the door swung open, he was already smiling, a predator who knew his prey had walke
(THIRD PERSON POV)Alina stood in the marbled reception of Grant Enterprises, palms damp against her dress. Beside her, the frame leaned upright, sealed in brown paper and string. Inside was her boldest work yet — ropes burning red against pale painted skin, a blindfolded woman arched back in surrender, her body alive with hunger and defiance.She whispered to herself, This is the one, Alina. This is the door.“Mr. Grant will see you now,” the receptionist said crisply.Alina smoothed her dress, pressed her lips together, and left the frame by the wall. Her heels clicked down the long corridor, echoing too loudly.When she entered, Grant’s office swallowed her whole. It was wide, glass walls flooding the room with the city’s skyline. Behind a desk of black steel sat Grant himself, lean, silver-haired, and already watching her as though she had wasted his time by breathing.“You’re the artist?” His voice was a blade.“Yes, sir,” she said quickly. “My name is Alina. I brought a piece th
THIRD PERSON POVThe pouch returned to the host. His gloved hand swirled the wine in his glass, the ruby liquid catching the firelight, before he nodded for the next draw.Thalyra, still flushed from straddling her man, leaned forward, greedy for another taste of danger. She plucked a card, her laugh low and sultry as she read aloud: “Command your man to use your ass, here, now.”Gasps swept the table—shock, hunger, disbelief. Thalyra only smirked, violet mask glittering. She leaned over the table, palms flat on the wood, presenting herself like a queen demanding worship. Her man didn’t hesitate—he bent her, lifted her skirts, and pushed in hard. The cry she let out was raw, guttural, shaking the walls. The table rocked with the force of his thrusts, her nails clawing deep into the cloth as the women watched, transfixed by her shameless abandon.Eryndra’s hands shook as the pouch was placed before her again. She closed her eyes, whispering something like a prayer, and drew. Her lips t
THIRD PERSON POVFurther down, a woman with a jeweled mask had her breasts pulled apart by rough hands, her nipples sucked and bitten until she sobbed with pleasure. Her man spat wine over her chest, then licked it up greedily, leaving her body sticky, wet, and marked with bruises that would ache tomorrow. She came with his teeth still sunk into her nipple, her thighs jerking violently under the table.Another had her head tipped back, her man’s cock buried in her mouth while his fingers thrust into her pussy below. She gagged around him, tears streaking her mask, drool sliding down her chin. Yet her hand clawed at his ass, dragging him deeper, and when she came—squirting across the floor beneath her chair—it was with his cock still stuffing her throat.The air was thick with sex—moans, gags, wet slaps, and the sticky-sweet scent of liquor mingled with pussy. Masks glittered in the mirror light, but there was nothing noble left about these women. They were undone, their orgasms loud,
THIRD PERSON POVThe Mirror Hall gleamed like a cathedral of sin, its walls layered with tall mirrors that reflected the masked women a hundredfold. Ten of them, seated in a crescent of velvet chairs, their gowns shimmering under the golden light of chandeliers. Each mask was an artwork—gold filigree, feathers, dark lace, jeweled wings. They looked like goddesses summoned for a secret rite, yet beneath the perfection, nerves and hunger stirred.The host rose from his seat at the far end of the hall. Even masked, his presence held gravity—his posture immaculate, his voice deep and precise, every word a hook that snagged their attention.“Ladies of Velaria,” he said, lifting a black-gloved hand. Behind him, an attendant rolled forward a silver tray stacked with black envelopes. “Tonight, your desires shall be tested through games. Your choices will shape your pleasures. Your courage will mark your destiny.”The attendant moved gracefully, offering the tray to each woman. One by one, glo
THIRD PERSON POVCrescenta tilted her head back, baring her neck to her man as he obeyed her whispered command, his lips grazing skin like a promise before biting into it as though she were ripe fruit herself. Lumina arched against the table edge, her masked face tilted toward the candlelight as her man kissed trails of fire down her throat and over her breasts, exactly where she had demanded. Dahlira trembled as her man bent her hand behind her back, pressing her forward against the cleared surface, feeding on her shoulder, her spine, each touch an order she never had to give.Isolde gasped when hands spread her knees apart under the table, her mask turning sharply as she realized every gaze had indeed fallen on her. The attention made her body surge with heat, the apple’s spell unlocking a part of her that had been locked in shadows. Veyra bit her lip hard, smearing juice, then tilted her head back in challenge as her man bit the soft curve of her breast through her gown, hard enoug
THIRD PERSON POVThe laughter at the table swelled like music, the wine loosening tongues and teasing confessions. Masks glowed in the candlelight, jeweled eyes sparkling as the women leaned closer to one another, whispering jokes and sinful remarks that would have been unthinkable in their daylight lives. For a moment, it felt almost ordinary—ten women dining in luxury, enjoying their escape.Then came the sound of glass against crystal. Clink.The masked host at the head of the table lifted his goblet, his gloved hand steady, elegant. The room silenced instantly, the air tightening as if the walls themselves held their breath. His presence was not loud, but commanding; he spoke as one who needed no effort to be obeyed.“Ladies of Velaria,” he began, his voice smooth, low, carrying an edge of danger that thrilled as much as it unsettled. “Tonight marks your first step into freedom. Freedom not given to you by men, not bound by society, not limited by guilt. Tonight, you eat from the
