LOGINARIA POV Today is Sunday, which means it’s Adrian’s day off. I let out a sad little smile as I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. After everything that happened last night, the way he showed up in my room, the kisses, the way he made me forgive him with his hands and his mouth, I still woke up missing him. The bed felt too big and empty. My body still ached faintly, from the intense act, and that only made me want him more. But he wouldn’t be here today, no black car waiting in the driveway. No cold “Miss Bennett” in the morning followed by a secret look through the mirror when he thought I wasnʼt looking. I dragged myself out of bed, picked up my hair brush, and ran it through my hair, to straighten out the nest it had formed. Then I headed downstairs. The house smelled like fresh coffee and warm bread, the usual Sunday morning routine. My father was already in the dining room, sitting at the head of the table exactly as he always did. Phone in his right hand, newspaper spr
ADRIAN POV The door was pulled open, and the sight of her froze me in my spot. Aria stood there at the entrance, the soft glow of her bedroom lamp illuminating her frame, her eyes were bloodshot and swollen, her cheeks were stained with dried tears. Her lips were shaking badly. She looked small, broken, and so fucking beautiful. The sight of her made my chest tighten in a way I didn’t like. I know I had done this. I didn’t need to ask her what happened to know it was my fault. I was mean to her this morning, and now she was crying because of me. For one second, the cold mask I wore almost ripped out. I wanted to pull her into my arms, kiss the tears off her face, and tell her the truth. But I couldn’t. I still didn’t know if she was the “girl” her father was using as a weapon. So I did the only thing I could. I stepped inside slowing, closing the door quietly behind me. I drop any fake facade I wore when I was with Victor. “Aria…” My voice came out rough, lower than I int
ADRIAN POINT OF VIEW I stood in front of the Bennett mansion, staring at the grand stone walls with pure contempt. I was supposed to be done for the day. I should have driven straight back to The Den and focused on the war I was planning. But I couldn’t do so. There was something important I still had to do. I checked my watch, 7:00 PM.By now, Richard Bennett would certainly be in his study by now, and that gave me a chance to converse with Aria. I know it was risky going to her room after the way I had shut her down this morning. After being all cold, distant and professional towards her. But I needed to see her. I could use the excuse that she hadn’t waited for me to pick her up from school. Yes, she hadn’t. I had waited at the usual spot for over an hour, patiently waiting for her, my eyes scanning every face that left the campus. But she never appeared. I went to her class, still no sight of her. That was when I decided to call her father. He told me she was already ho
ADRIAN POVAs soon as Aria slammed the car door shut I zoomed off, without looking at the rear-view mirror. Clenching my fist hard around the steering wheel until the leather creaked under my grip. I knew I hurt her last night, I knew I should have come back after I left her on the edge over and over again, dipping and begging for more. But I didn’t, because I couldn’t. And the reason I couldn’t was exactly why I was speeding toward my underground casino right now. I had a bastard to deal with. The encrypted report that had come through during that second phone call last night was still leaving an ache in my mind. While Aria lay in her bed aching for me, my men had uncovered something far more dangerous than I expected. They reported that Victor Bennett wasn’t just trying to sabotage my shipments. He was using his own daughter as part of the game. I didn’t know how deep Aria was in it yet. I didn’t know if she was a willing player or an innocent pawn. But the pieces were s
ARIA POVThe morning light stabbed through my curtains like it had a personal grudge with them. I woke up sore, sticky, and furious. My ass still burned from Adrian’s hand the night before. My pussy ached with that deep, unsatisfied throb he had left me with, denied, and abandoned. I didn’t even know when I fell asleep eventually. Now I woke up exhausted and frustrated, due to being kept on the edge for a long time without cumming. After punishing me, after making me beg and promise I belonged to him, after kissing me like he owned my soul, he just walked out when that damn phone rang again. The worst part, he never came back. I hated how much it hurt. I hated how much I still wanted him. I dragged myself out of bed, wincing as the silk sheets brushed over the welts on my ass. I ran to the shower, to help me feel better. But it only helped a little, because the hot water only reminded me of how sensitive I still was.After getting a bit better I got out of the shower. dress
ARIA POV The door was closed shut immediately. Adrian stood there in my dim glowing bedroom, filling the space with that same commanding presence that always made my knees weak.He hadn’t spoken to me, or even touched me yet, he just kept staring at me like he was accessing me. The air between us felt thick. My robe was open at the front, barely covering my naked body, my thighs were still slick, still shining with the fresh evidence of what I had just done. I could feel my own cum cooling on my skin, dripping slowly down toward my knees. My heart slammed against my ribs cage so hard I was sure he could hear it. “Adrian… I...” I tried saying... “Shh.” He said with a low calm, and dangerous voice. One of his fingers was pressed firmly against my lips, silencing me instantly. “You had your chance to be a good girl. Now you’re going to show me exactly what you did while I wasn’t here.”A fresh set of shame and embarrassment hit me. His dark, stormy, and unreadable eyes dropped
ARIA POVI could not concentrate at all. Adrian's words kept replaying in my head over and over again, the way he said 11pm sharp, as if it were not even a suggestion but something he already knew I would obey. It was annoying how much it got to me how just those two words could sit in my chest and
ARIA POVThe same cold, rude guy, or whatever the hell his name was, brought me back home exactly as Adrian had ordered.This time I didn’t even try talking to him. I couldn’t. I was too lost in the thought inside my head, too busy trying to ignore the way my body was still screaming.Every bump in
ADRIAN POVI stared at Aria, who was still bent over the table exactly as I had left her. Naked, ass bright red and marked with my belt, her thigh vibrating, as she rubbed them together desperately, chasing any scrap of friction for that aching, denied pussy.She was still dripping. The evidence of
ARIA POVI stayed kneeling, but now every second felt like hours, the silence was suffocating. He didn’t speak at first, and that silence was far worse than any punishment. My skin prickled, every second. Finally, his voice filled the room. “Forty-five minutes,” he said. “You’re forty-five minutes
