LOGIN→ Lena ←My body ached with a deep, lingering strain the moment I stirred, every muscle protesting as I shifted. Beneath me, I felt something soft. I was on a bed.Right. Last night, I remembered passing out.I blinked against the morning light filtering through the curtains and glanced down at myself. I was wearing just my panties under the thick duvet, and my skin felt entirely clean.Did he clean me up? And tuck me into bed? Well, that was the least he could do after draining me out last night. I pushed the covers back and swung my legs over the edge of the mattress, padding quietly toward the vanity table. As I approached, a small foil pack caught my eye, sitting neatly beside a fresh glass of water.A pack of emergency contraceptive pills.The sight of it brought a sudden rush of memories flooding back from the night before, the undeniable reality of him finishing inside me without holding back.He must really love taking precautions. Most ladies would actually seize this oppor
→ Lena ←Pleasure.Deep, rolling, almost unbearable pleasure.I can’t remember the last time I ever felt it.God, I forgot it could feel like this.With Oscar, sex had always been something I performed. I tried to please him, moved the way I thought he wanted, made the sounds I thought he liked. I was awkward and inexperienced because he was my first, and most nights it felt like I was just trying not to disappoint him. There was never any real heat for me. Just effort and silence afterward.But this?“Ughhhh—”Kieran’s fingers were already on my clit, rubbing in tight, relentless circles that sent sharp sparks straight up my spine. He didn’t ease into it. He assaulted the swollen bud like he already knew exactly how sensitive it was, pressing and circling until my hips jerked against his hand.The pleasure hit me so hard, coiling low in my stomach until I couldn’t stay still.He slid his fingers lower, rubbing my opening until I was soaked, then pushed two of them inside me in one
→ Lena ←A cold shower was exactly what my body needed right now.I was exhausted. Between the journey back to Westervale, the auction, and everything that had happened afterward, I felt as though I had been on my feet for days. We hadn't come straight to the auction from where we'd been staying, either, but that didn't mean I'd had enough time to rest before being thrown into the middle of Kieran's little public performance.And what a performance it had been.I still couldn't believe Kieran had actually done it.I dragged a hand over my face and continued toward the stairs, desperate to get to my room, take a shower, and sleep for as long as my body would allow.I had no intention of thinking about any business plans, the Devereauxs, or my supposedly devoted fiancé for the rest of the evening.Unfortunately, I hadn't even reached the stairs when I spotted Bobby walking out of Kieran's private study."Bobby, are you leaving now?" I asked.He turned toward me. "Yes. Do you need me to
→ Oscar ←I stormed into the estate and headed straight for my bedroom, slamming the door behind me hard enough to make the walls vibrate."That bastard, Kieran!"I slammed my fist into the wall, barely feeling the pain that shot through my knuckles as I glared at the spot where my hand had landed.Kieran fucking Vincenzo. What a wild way to answer that woman's surname. Did she know about this?Why the hell had that bastard born out of wedlock decided to show his face now?He should have stayed hidden, just as he had all these years. He should have continued living whatever miserable life he'd chosen for himself instead of coming back to Westervale and interfering in matters that had absolutely nothing to do with him.But no. The bastard had to return, and he couldn't even have the decency to do it politely.He had walked into that auction, outbid everyone without blinking, and taken the land we had spent weeks preparing to acquire. A billion dollars. He had spent a fucking billio
→ Kieran ←I arrived at the private villa, one of my minor properties in Westervale, with the satisfaction of knowing that everything had gone exactly as I had planned.Securing the land was the primary objective, but having William and Oscar show up in person had been a wildcard I hadn't anticipated.My initial plan was to outbid everyone at the auction and let the national broadcast do the rest. The event was being televised live, which meant William would inevitably watch me return to Westervale in real time, whether he wanted to or not.I had imagined his reaction when he discovered that I was the man who had bought the land he desperately wanted, but seeing him sitting there with Oscar and Theodore while I dropped a billion on their target had been even more satisfying than I expected.As I stepped through the entryway, the familiar scent of home-cooked food drifted down the hallway, and I found myself relaxing before I even reached the dining room."There's my baby boy!"Mom dro
→ Lena ← Kieran said we were headed to this auction to make our first public appearance as a couple, especially to the Devereauxs, but buying a piece of land worth one billion was far too much. What was he thinking? If I knew this was his plan, I would have talked him out of it.That wasn't even the worst part. The worst part was the fact that the land was registered in my name! I was still holding his arm as he spoke to someone on the phone, talking about meeting her when the night was over.Who's thos her?We walked out of the auction hall into the polished marble lobby, only to find Oscar, William, and Theodore waiting like sentinels. They really couldn't wait to see us, huh?"And the prodigal son returns!" William sneered, stepping forward.Silence stretched through the lobby. I froze, my hand tightening slightly on Kieran’s sleeve as confusion flickered through me. Son?It's pretty obvious that there's a lot of things Kieran hasn't told me about himself, especially what he ha
