He kissed me deeply while thrusting inside me. Sweat all over his body, harder, faster; his dark green eyes, which almost looked like green hazel.
My pupils dilated while my crimson lips parted.
My dress and his clothes were scattered around the floor, while my legs curled around his waist; my hair was already a mess.
The room was filled with my soft moans as he groaned in pleasure.
I could feel my walls tighten as I came; my nails dug into his neck as I bit my lip not to make a sound.
He cared less as he continued thrusting harder as he muttered, “fuck”, against my crimson lip, driving into me without mercy. I savoured the pleasure sting.
The wet sound of our bodies and my ass cheek smacks mixed with my moans filling the room as another orgasm surged, followed by his hot spills.
“Still so tight?” His voice croaked, his free hand tangled in my already messed hair, pulling me enough to tilt my head back.
My legs trembled around his waist as his cock twitched inside me, half hard; I could feel him leaking out of me.
The air smelled of sex and sweat as he finally stilled, staying that way for a long time while kissing me slowly before he pulled out. I felt a sudden, aching emptiness.
He feels so good at what he does.
He collapsed onto the bed, muttering what I didn't hear. He pulled the sheet and fell asleep.
I stared at the man beside me as my body ached from the aftermath.
How did I turn into this?
My first time was given to a stranger; I couldn't even tell his name. The part that frightened me most was how I was so attracted to him. It wasn't supposed to feel natural, but it did. I pulled the cover and slept from exhaustion.
Sunlight pierced through the curtains to my face as I opened my eyes slowly. I turned to the other side of the bed, but the sheets were already cold and empty.
I froze.
He left without a note, nothing at all, as if the night was just my imagination; nothing except the aching down there could even prove yesterday's incident.
A sense of relief washed over me, but I still felt a sink inside.
I frowned, pushing myself upward.
One reckless night with a nameless man meant nothing; at least it shouldn't.
I stopped in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection. My hair was a mess.
After years of careful reservation, always thinking before I acted, just last night changed everything.
I sighed, looking away. Maybe he regrets sleeping with me.
Wait, why should I even care? I didn't even know him, nor were we dating, nor had we made promises to each other.
But then, it all feels so strange.
I put on my dress, ran my fingers through my messy hair, reached for my bag and looked back at the room.
I muttered, “Hope never to see you again, stranger,” and left the room.
The cool air hit my skin as I stepped outside, and I released my breath.
Maybe when I got home, I could no longer think about last night.
I walked towards the road raising my hand to flag a car.
My phone rang.
I stared at the number that appeared on my screen.
The last person I wanted to talk to right now.
I sighed as I answered reluctantly.
“Hello, Mom.”
“Nyla”. Her voice softened. “Where are you?”
“ I went to grab some stuff”, I lied without a care.
“Good, I want us to meet up.”
“Mom, I'm not free; maybe some other time.” I frowned.
“I know, but I need to see you.” She said in a hushed tone.
“ Mom, can't it wait till tomorrow?”
There was a brief silence on the other end, then she said, “No, please, Nyla, there's someone I want you to meet.”
“Someone?” I raised my brows,
“You'll know when you get here.” She said,
Before I could say another word
The line went off.
Lucian's pov I stared at the unknown number on my phone for a second before answering.A familiar, lazy voice answered. “ Lucian, are you there?”“May I know who I'm speaking with.” I said.“Man, this is Cassie innit.” He said as he erupted in an annoying laughter.My jaw tightened. “Cassian.” I said flatly.My free hand curled into a fist. “Stay out of my business.”“Or what?” His tone sharpened. “You’re already fucking your new stepsister and you think you get to be territorial?”Silence stretched between us.“You’ve been obsessed with that face for three years. Don’t pretend this is new. Tell me more. I came for the gist .”“Cassian, please stay out of this.” I yelled.“Man, come on. When can we hang out to meet? It's been a long time since you visited my club.”“Just get off my phone. I have business to handle.”I ended the call without another word.I stood in the dark hallway walking towards her room, phone still in my hand, pulse heavy in my throat. A soft sound came from
Lucian's pov.Her eyes met mine as I walked back into the study. I opened my laptop to join the conference meeting, but I couldn't focus.She told me to stay away from her, but how was I supposed to do that when she was the girl I had crushed on and had loved secretly for three years? I sat unfazed during the conference meeting, my mind replaying our conversation in the garden. I dragged a hand down my face and exhaled slowly.I had kept my expression blank throughout breakfast, my voice bored. None of this was easy; every time our eyes met, that night surged through the present. The way she walked up to me that night, she looked at me, even the way her breath sounded that night. And now she's living under the same roof as me. How was I supposed to pretend nothing ever happened? I inhaled as I leaned forward.“Sir, what would you say about the market potential flop at hand?” My assistant's voice jolted me from my thoughts.“Send it to the PR team and advertising team to solve it;
I barely slept.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Lucian standing across the dining table.His eyes. His voice.The way he had looked at me when my mother called us family. I turned beneath the sheets and groaned.This was ridiculous.I couldn't spend the rest of my life jumping every time I heard his name.My phone sat on the nightstand. I stared at it.I still hadn't replied.A knock sounded at my door. I sat up.“Nyla? Breakfast.”My mother's voice. I glanced at the time. Seven thirty.“I'll be down soon.”“Don't take too long." Her footsteps faded.I dragged myself out of bed and stood in front of the mirror. I looked terrible. Dark circles sat beneath my eyes, and my hair was a mess.I quickly showered, dressed, and headed downstairs.I could perceive the smell of coffee when I entered the dining room. My mother was already seated beside Xavier.I smiled faintly.“Good morning.”“Good morning, darling.” Mom pulled out the chair beside her. I sat down.Then I noticed the empty ch
I felt a chill run down my spine the moment he walked in.Lucian.He stood like someone who had walked straight out of my worst nightmare. I couldn't breathe.His piercing dark green eyes met mine, and recognition flashed across my face.He knew me.The stranger I had promised myself I'd never see again. Was standing before me at my mother's new husband's house.And judging by the way Xavier looked at him, I could already tell.I gripped the edge of the table.No.This couldn't be happening. My mother glanced at us.“Nyla?”I forced my eyes away from Lucian. “I'm fine.”She smiled, unaware of the panic racing through me. “Good. Then you can finally meet Xavier's son.”I swallowed.Lucian stepped farther into the dining room.He looked different from the man I'd met that night.He wasn't dressed casually like before. His black shirt fit perfectly across his broad shoulders, and his expression carried an authority that made the room seem smaller.But his eyes were the same.Those unmis
I should have known my mother's words, "There's someone I want you to meet," would change everything.By the time I arrived at the address she sent me, I was so pissed off I could have just ignored her.I stared through the car window at the enormous metallic gates.They slowly opened.Beyond them stretched a long driveway lined with perfectly trimmed hedges, tall trees, and carefully arranged flowers. At the end stood a big mansion. “Are you sure this is the place?” I asked.The driver glanced at me through the rearview mirror. “Yes, ma'am.” Ma'am?I looked back at the mansion.The car stopped in front of the entrance.I paid the driver and stepped out, adjusting my bag over my shoulder.Before I could even knock, the front door opened.“Nyla!” My mother's voice instantly softened the tension in my chest.She hurried toward me and pulled me into a hug.I hugged her back, although my body remained stiff.“Hi, Mom.”She pulled away and looked me over.“You look tired.” “I am.”“You di
The music pounded through the room, some people at the party sang along with the music while others danced.Audrey and I sat in the corner watching everyone. My expression was unreadable after everything that happened today. It was enough reason for me to come here and forget. Audrey's cousins Maria and Carlos joined us shortly.“You guys are so boring," Maria said amidst the loud music.“Exactly, coming to a party, sitting and watching, that's not fun.” Carlos retorted without a care as he swayed his waist. In front of us, I grinned, and everyone laughed.“You guys would blame Nyla for being in a bad mood, forcing herself to be here.” Audrey leaned forward.They tried cheering me up, but my mind wasn't here at all. I couldn't stop thinking about everything that had happened today, being fired instead of being given a promotion, and my mom's call that afternoon as I walked out of my office building with my stuff. When my phone rang. I looked at my screen, and my mom's name appeared.
