LOGINMARCUS:
I shove myself deeper inside her, my movements hollow and robotic.
The woman beneath me on my desk lets out a breathless moan, her fingers clawing at my suit jacket. Physically, my body is going through the motions. My dick is rock-hard, throbbing with an unholy intensity that should mean I am on the verge of losing control. But inside my head, I feel absolutely nothing.
My mind is completely trapped in the events of yesterday. I can still smell Chloe's intoxicating perfume. I can still feel her wet panties against my bare palm. Her annoying voice echoes through my skull, tormenting me in ways I hate to admit that I like.
“Arthur is incredibly hot... imagining what he could do to me... it just drives me crazy.”
Fury rushes through my veins. The thought of my best friend touching her, or seeing her the way I saw her in that guest room, makes my chest tighten. Abruptly, I grip the woman's hips and pull myself completely out of her.
She gasps in shock, blinking up at me from the desk as I turn away, completely frustrated and unsatisfied. My cock is still hard.
“Mr. Vance, I can...” She attempts to touch me, but I raise my hand.
“Don’t!” My voice comes out louder than intended. Then I sigh, tucking my dick back into my pants.
"Is everything okay?" she asks, sliding off the desk.
"We're done," I reply, grabbing my jacket to cover the heavy bulge in my trousers. "Your paycheck is on the desk with my secretary outside. Leave."
Her face flushes. She sighs, pulls down her dress, and collects her underwear and purse before quickly exiting the office without another word.
The second the door shuts, I slump into my chair, burying my face in my hands. I am thoroughly restless. My skin feels too tight for my body. I pull out my phone and speed-dial my driver.
"Jerome. Prep the SUV immediately. We are heading back to the house."
Ten minutes later, I am sitting in the car, staring blankly out the window as the Hamptons skyline blurs past. Guilt presses down heavily on my chest.
Forty-eight, I remind myself, my jaw clenching so tight my teeth ache. I am forty-eight years old. Chloe is twenty-three. She is my daughter Maya’s age. I am older than her own father.
Thinking of her father, Richard, triggers a toxic anger in my chest. I remember the exact night eleven years ago when a terrified, sobbing twelve-year-old Chloe showed up at my doorstep out of nowhere. She had run to me begging for help. That was the night we finally uncovered the monster Richard truly was—the night he brutalized Chloe’s mother so badly she landed in the intensive care unit.
I used every ounce of my power and legal influence to ensure Richard was locked away in jail where he rightfully belongs. I swore back then to protect Chloe, to guide her like a father figure, to keep her safe from the wolves of the world.
But her twentieth year changed everything. Her sudden growth spurt, the lush curves of her body, and that raw, venomous sexual confidence completely shattered my ability to see her as a child. She isn't a child anymore, and I am just delusional for trying to pretend otherwise. My hunger and her temptation are perfectly designed to ruin me.
Needing a drink to numb the thoughts, I groan and pop open the built-in wine compartment.
Instead of a vintage bottle of red, my eyes lock onto a tiny piece of silk tucked neatly inside the slot. I reach forward, my heart hammering against my ribs, and pull out a pair of red lace panties. Attached to them is a small, folded note written in her elegant handwriting:
Hope you like your gift, Mr. V.
My pulse thunders in my ears. I want to ask Jerome when she managed to sneak into my vehicle, but I force myself to stop. I never drink wine in the morning, so there is no telling when she slipped them in.
Without thinking, I reach forward and slam my thumb against the console button. The glass privacy partition slides up, completely cutting me off from the driver. I am entirely alone in the back.
Down in my trousers, my hard dick twitches violently, begging for release, completely overwhelmed by the scent wafting from the lace in my hand. I fight the urge for only a single second before my control completely fractures.
Fuck it.
I unbutton my pants, letting my cock free. Then I press her panties directly against my face. I inhale her sweet, sinful scent, cupping my shaft with one hand.
“Mmh...” I groan as my hand moves up and down.
The veins pulse in my forearms as images of her arching on the sheets, moaning, and driving that toy into herself flood my brain. Mentally, I replace the plastic with myself, imagining driving deep inside her, burying the entire length of my shaft into her tight, soaking-wet hole. I imagine the exact feel of her stretching around me, her wet walls clamping down to trap me inside her. I want to hear her scream my name in that high-pitched voice. I want to feel her bucking her hips against mine, completely helpless under my weight.
I stroke faster, harder, my breathing turning into ragged, desperate growls until an explosive climax rips through my body, splattering against the leather seat.
The aftermath leaves me feeling utterly horrible, dirty, and consumed by guilt. I wipe myself down in furious silence with a huge stash of tissues, stashing the panties away. Maya would never forgive me if she knew what her father just did.
I grip my thighs hard.
That's it, I resolve as I finish cleaning up the mess. I am putting myself in a strict time-out. I will completely avoid her. I will ignore her presence, stay out of her way, and keep my distance until her summer stay is over and she leaves my estate.
Soon, the SUV slows down, pulling up the driveway of the mansion before coming to a smooth stop. I step out of the car, adjusting my suit jacket and forcing myself to look like the dignified man I am supposed to be.
But then…
Chloe marches angrily out from the back of the house, heading straight across the manicured lawn. She is wearing nothing but a tiny string bikini that leaves every single inch of her skin exposed to the sun. Right behind her is Chad, trailing after her like a desperate dog.
“Baby, please. I am sorry. It was a mistake,” he keeps pleading, trying to grab her arm.
She keeps walking, ignoring him entirely. The second she spots me, she rushes toward me.
"I have moved on, Chad. And my boyfriend doesn't like it when people trespass on his property."
Before my brain can even register what she just said, she wraps her arms around my neck and presses her lips hard against mine.
CHLOE:My brows crease as I pull away from Marcus’s grip.“What are you doing here?”“Do you two have no shame?” she asks, standing with her arms crossed.I let out a short chuckle. The nerve of her being in this room after not showing up to the hospital is crazy.“You say we are dead to you, so why are you here?”“I wish you two actually were, so I would not have to live through the horror of my best f…” She pauses. “Ex-best friend standing in the middle of the street tonguing my father.”“Baby…” Marcus starts, but I press a hand to his chest and turn to face him.I pull him by the collar and slam my lips against his.“How about now? You don’t need the world to report it to you.” Her face creases. “What are you gonna do about it? And just so you know, I was fucked so good against those walls.” I point at the wall, pouting.Her eyes water slightly.“Why are you doing this to me, Chloe?” Her voice cracks. “You could have anyone. The city loves you. You could fart and everyone would che
CHLOE:I get into my car, and the driver takes me back to the hotel where Marcus is lounging on the bed like there, holding a paper in his hand.“You are back?” He says in a calm tone, and I stand for a second, brow raised,wondering if I am dreaming.“Well, yes I am.” I reach down to take off my shoes and he slides off the bed. “Okay, I am giving you the reports before you do. His father was nice, talked about us not being serious as long as we aren't married and even if we were divorce could happen. Before you start talking about how you do not want me near them, it is just a deal and..”Marcus presses his lips against mine before I can finish, and my body completely melts into his. I let out the breath I didn't realize I was holding in.“I don't care what anyone says,” He grabs my butt, pressing into it. “I missed you and I know you did great, but you can talk my ears off if you want to.”My brows crease slightly.“What? Did I have a concussion or is my boyfriend still holding me af
Chloe:"I promise I will not overstay with him," I say, turning to face Marcus. "No drinks, no chats, just business, and I will be back. I just couldn't say no. It is for my mum and…"He kisses me before I can finish the sentence, soft and unhurried, like he already knows the rest of it."I know, love," he says against my lips.He pulls me close by the waist, holding me to his chest, and I let myself sink into it for a moment, breathing him in."You'll do great, even if I am not there," he murmurs into my hair. "And I will be here, waiting until you get back."Of course, I think. That is code for he will be watching me from afar.I push the thought down and kiss his cheek instead. "Okay," I say. "See you later."Downstairs, a chauffeur is already waiting by the car in front of the hotel. I slide into the back seat, smoothing my skirt, and pull out my phone.I am on my way, I text Tommy.The reply comes almost instantly. Already close to the building. My dad loves getting to places ear
CHLOE'S POV:"Really?" Marcus asks and I look at him with a smile."Yeah. I mean they are too stressful. I cannot imagine myself raising a girl as stubborn as me."He chuckles, his eyes narrowing."Well, Beatrice did and she turned out fine." He kisses my hand, intertwining our fingers.My heart thumps weirdly as I watch his face look relieved. The fear of us breaking apart again vanishes instantly.Of course it has been my dream to have a family, but being with him feels safe even if it is not the smoothest of relationships."How about adoption?" he asks and my eyes widen."No. I have never thought of that.""Mmh." He nods. "Well, I have. After having Maya we decided to give her the best, sadly my marriage split before she grew up. It ruined chances of having another child, but you know now we have each other we can work on that."My throat dries up and I force another smile, wider than the last."That would be..." I pause. "Great."He kisses my chest. "I know. A child we both get to
CHLOE’S POV:"Do you refuse other women you've been with?" I ask, my voice low as I hold his gaze, increasing my pace on his cock.A rough groan escapes his throat. "No."I watch the subtle tremor across his abdomen as I rub his tip, a traitorous smile tugging at the corner of my lips. "Then why do you refuse me?"He answers with a bruising kiss, savoring my mouth like it was a full course meal. It almost makes me give in, but then I press my palm firmly against his chest, feeling the uneven thud of his heart under my hand.When he finally breaks the kiss, breathing heavily, I look down at him. "You're afraid of losing control. Or coming off as submissive."A chuckle rumbles in his chest. "That's not it.""Then flip over," I tell him, my tone leaving no room for argument.His brows furrow, searching my face."Do it."He shuts his eyes and rolls off me, laying flat on his back on the mattress with his feet planted firmly on the floor.I get to my knees on the floor, reaching for the
MARCUS’S POV:My lips are open as I stare down at her.“I love you too,” I breathe, but she shakes her head.“Not like that,” she says, her breath coming in shallow hitches. “I know we have said it before, but this is different. You were here all through it... like you had no life, no job. You were just here, Marcus. I...”I cup her cheek, my thumb smoothing away her tears. “Hey, you don't need to thank me.”“I need to,” she insists, looking straight into my eyes. “My mother is okay, and you made all the calls. You have your flaws, but you might just be perfect for me.”I smirk against her lip and kiss her briefly again.
