LOGIN“Harder,” she whispered. “Please…”Elias growled as he heard those and gave her what she wanted.He thrust harder and faster.The sound of skin slapping skin filled the luxurious room.The big bed creaked under them.He fucked her deep, angling his hips so his cock hit that perfect spot inside her with every thrust.Layla’s moans turned into cries. Her breasts bounced with every hard push.Elias leaned down and kissed her messily — tongues sliding, teeth clashing.Sweat slicked their bodies.He reached between them and rubbed her clit in tight circles while he pounded into her.Layla’s eyes rolled back.“I’m coming… Oldie… I’m coming again!”Her pussy clenched tight around his cock as she came.Waves of pleasure crashed through her.She shook and cried out his name, nails raking down his back.The feeling of her coming around him pushed Elias over the edge. He thrust deep one last time and groaned loud against her neck.His cock pulsed inside her as he came hard.Hot, thick spurts of
Layla’s body jolted slightly in surprise, her grip loosening as the lunchbox slipped from her hand and dropped softly onto the floor beside them.She didn’t pull away. She couldn't,not when he kissed her like that.Not when his hold tightened, pulling her closer until there was no space left between them.The kiss deepened further.Layla’s fingers curled against his shirt, holding on as if she needed the balance.“Elias—” she tried to say, but the word barely formed before he kissed her again and again,each time drawing her in deeper.He shifted slightly in his chair, pulling her fully back onto his lap, his arms wrapping around her like letting her go wasn’t even an option anymore.Layla’s breathing had changed.Her head tilting instinctively as his lips moved against hers, slower now, but heavier with something that made her chest tighten.The office—The world—Everything else faded.There was just him.Just this and the way he held her like she belonged exactly where she was.When
“…what’s that?”Elias followed her gaze.“A lunchbox.”Layla turned to look at him fully now, her eyes narrowing just a little.“A lunchbox?When did you start making lunch for yourself?”There was something in her tone. Light but not entirely.Elias didn’t miss it.“I didn’t,” he replied calmly.Layla held his gaze.“Then who did?”There was a brief pause.“Serena,my secretary.”The name landed quietly but heavily.Layla’s fingers tightened around the strap of her bag.Her expression didn’t explode,instead—It shifted to a cooler one.“And you accepted it.”Elias watched her carefully now.“I didn’t ask for it.”“That’s not what I asked.”Her voice was still calm but there was tension underneath.The kind that hadn’t been there seconds ago.Elias straightened slightly.“She brought it. I told her to leave it.”Layla let out a small, humorless breath.“And you kept it.”“I haven’t touched it.”“That doesn’t matter.”Layla finally walked toward the desk, placing her own lunchbox down be
The city moved fast. Cars weaved through traffic, horns blaring occasionally, sunlight bouncing off glass buildings in sharp reflections that made everything feel alive, restless, constantly in motion.But inside the taxi—Layla sat quietly with her fingers wrapped around the strap of her bag, her thoughts running far ahead of her, racing toward a destination she hadn’t fully prepared her heart for.Chloe’s words echoed faintly in her mind.“You’re stepping into his world.”She exhaled slowly, her gaze shifting toward the window as the buildings grew taller, more structured, more intimidating.And then—The car slowed.“There,” the driver said.Layla looked up and saw Thorne Headquarters standing tall and imposing.The kind of building that didn’t just exist—it dominated.Glass and steel stretched upward like it had no intention of ever being overlooked, its presence alone enough to make anyone pause before stepping inside.Layla swallowed slightly.Then nodded.“Thank you.”She paid
The office was quiet,not the kind of quiet that felt empty or peaceful—But the kind that carried weight,precision and control.Everything in the space reflected it.From the sleek glass walls that overlooked the city below, to the neatly arranged documents on the desk, to the faint ticking of the clock that seemed almost too careful not to disturb the atmosphere—everything about the room spoke of a man who tolerated no disorder, no unpredictability, no weakness.And seated at the center of it all was Elias.He leaned back slightly in his chair, his phone still in his hand, his expression calm, though there was something beneath it… something sharper, more focused, more deliberate.The call with Layla had ended only moments ago. Yet her presence and her voice still lingered loudly in his mind like a subtle distraction.One he didn’t particularly appreciate.Or perhaps—One he simply wasn’t used to.His thumb hovered briefly over his phone screen before he placed it down slowly on the
The house felt… empty.Not in a lonely way A small smile tugged at her lips.“She left us food,” she said quietly.Chloe leaned over her shoulder.“Aww… that’s actually sweet.”Layla nodded, gently placing the note back down before lifting one of the covers.Warm steam rose instantly.Pancakes.Stacked high, golden-brown, soft and fluffy, with a small container of maple syrup placed neatly beside them.Chloe leaned in instantly.“Oh wow…”Layla lifted another cover.Scrambled eggs—creamy, lightly seasoned, with bits of herbs folded in.Another—Crispy bacon strips, perfectly cooked, not too dry, not too greasy.And beside everything—A bowl of freshly cut fruits: strawberries, apples, and grapes.Chloe placed a hand over her chest dramatically.“Okay,” Chloe said, already pulling out a chair. “Your mom deserves an award.”Layla smiled softly, spotting the small note beside the plate.Something about it made her chest feel warm.They sat down without wasting another second.Chloe grabbe
The boardroom no longer felt like a place of power. It felt like a battlefield and Ross Carter was losing. As almost all the board members left,the tension in the room had shifted from controlled concern to something far worse—panic, barely restrained beneath forced professionalism. Papers were sca
Miles away from the mess Layla was stuck in, the city Elias was in felt just as heavy. No peace. No calm. Just tall glass towers stabbing the sky, catching the last dying orange of the evening sun. The streets below hummed with money—quiet money, sharp money, the kind that never shouts but alway
“It means you’re grounded.”Layla blinked.“…what?”“You heard me.”Her chest tightened.“Dad, you can’t be serious.”“Oh, I’m very serious.”Her mother looked between them, shaken.“Maybe we should—”“No,” her father said firmly.“This ends now.”Layla shook her head.“No, it doesn’t.”Her father
“Because I don't want to.”Layla said.Her father stepped back slightly, like something in him had shifted.“Layla…you’re choosing him,” he said slowly.Layla didn’t respond because she already had and her silence was the answer.Her mother looked at her again.“…over us?”That question—That one—B
