The night didn’t end there.
We hadn’t even touched the bed when his hands lit me up again. We were on the living room floor, the rug beneath my bare legs, his mouth on my neck, and that way he kissed—slow at first, like he wanted to taste me, then hungry—completely undid me. His lips moved down slowly, leaving a hot, wet trail across my collarbone. My fingers tangled in his hair, tugging just a little, guiding him where I needed him. He knew. Every moan that escaped my lips pushed him further, made him more ravenous. Our bodies moved in sync, as if we had known each other forever, as if our skins spoke a language of their own. His tongue traced my stomach, and I arched against him involuntarily. Every touch of his was a fire. Every kiss, a dare. He looked up from below. His eyes glinted—dark, locked on mine. His mouth curved in that arrogant, confident smirk. He knew exactly what he was doing to me. And he loved watching me lose control. “You look beautiful like this,” he murmured, his voice low, rough, thick with lust. “Like what?” “Trembling for me.” And yes. I was trembling. My legs wrapped around his waist as he moved over me, his chest brushing mine, our breaths mingling. He kissed me again, deeper this time, his tongue sliding against mine with a rhythm that pulled a desperate, aching sound from my throat. I clung to him, not wanting space, not wanting to think. His hips pressed into mine, and everything in me ignited. The pressure, the heat, the friction—perfect. His mouth was at my ear now, whispering things that made me bite my lip, while his hands explored every curve of my body, every inch like it was new, like it would never be enough. And it wasn’t. I searched for him too. My lips on his neck, his chest. My fingers sliding down his abdomen, discovering every muscle. He was tense, panting, burning up just like I was. The sound of our bodies meeting was wet, raw, real. Our moans filled the silence of the apartment. Every thrust of his was deeper. Every movement, slower yet fiercer. Like he wanted to brand me from the inside out. I looked into his eyes mid-thrust. They were dark, intense, locked on me. His jaw clenched like he was holding something back. “John…” “Don’t ask me to stop,” he whispered, pushing deeper. “Because I won’t.” “I don’t want you to.” And he didn’t. He took me to the edge once, twice, again. He made me forget how to breathe. He made me beg without words—only with my body, my gasps, the way I clung to him. We collapsed hours later, drenched in sweat, our legs tangled, our chests rising and falling in the same rhythm. He looked at me with lips still red, eyes still clouded with need. And he smiled. “This is just the beginning.” I nodded. He was right. We still had so much left to burn.Cat narrates.There are no screams. No shattered glass or slammed furniture. But the silence flowing from the hallway is even more brutal. The whole house seems to hold its breath as they finally face each other—no masks, no courtesy disguise, no hypocrisy of self-control. Their voices are low, tense, loaded with everything they didn’t say while they touched through me, while they competed with hands and mouths, while they loved without wanting to admit it hurt more than it aroused.“Do you want to possess her, or do you want to love her?” John asks, his voice deep, restrained, as if he can barely remain standing.“And you? Do you really love her, or do you just want to beat me?” Demon spits back, with that edge that sometimes caresses me like a dagger and other times cuts me without mercy.I’m on the stairs, tangled in a sheet, breathless. My heart pounds against my chest as if trying to escape this scene, but my legs don’t move. I stay there, drenched in what happened last night, my
Narrated by John.I don’t care if last night was his turn.I don’t care if they made that ridiculous twenty-four-hour rule.I don’t care if he tied her up, if he talked dirty to her, if he tore moans out of her until dawn.Today is my day.My bed.My law.And I want her only for myself.I see her walking down the hallway, barefoot, wrapped in one of my shirts, her hair still damp from the shower. There are new marks on her thighs, on her neck. Some are mine. Many are not. And even though she smiles softly, as if nothing’s broken, I’m shattered inside.When she stops in front of me, I don’t say a word. I just grab her by the waist and lift her off the ground. She lets out a small sigh, a mix of surprise and anticipation, and clings to my shoulders as I carry her into my room—the one Demon is not supposed to cross today. I drop her onto the bed as if she were mine.Because she is.Even if she denies it with her lips, her body still remembers how my name sounds when she screams it betwee
Tension hangs in the air like the scent of a fresh wound.The beach house is too big, too perfect, and yet I feel every corner holds an echo of what we did last night. Of what we keep doing. Of what we can’t stop wanting, even knowing it will destroy us.I wake with my back pressed to John’s chest and my legs tangled with Demon’s, as if our bodies don’t know who they belong to, as if I haven’t been mine for days. As if they were two hells, and I was happy to burn in both.But today I need space. Air. Something more than skin and sweat and muffled moans.“Can we be alone for a while?” I whisper to John as he strokes my waist, as if he already knows I’m going to ask that.Demon says nothing. He gets up without looking at us, throws on some random shorts, and disappears down the hall. I hear him open a beer, even though it’s not yet noon. John looks at me. His face is a mix of affection and fatigue.“Of course,” he says. Kisses my forehead, as if we were still innocent.We sit on the ter
I wake with skin stuck to dried sweat, my body still trembling inside though the air is unmoving. I’m between them, as if I were the sin that binds them. The sheet tangled around my legs, the golden sunlight slipping between the curtains, outlining the shape of their bodies: one breathes slow, almost absent, the other watches me with an intensity that disarms me. The air weighs more than my conscience.John kisses my shoulder with dangerous sweetness, as if nothing in the world had exploded, as if we weren’t broken inside. His breath grazes my collarbone, and that serene, almost tender gesture splits a crack in my chest. But Demon is not calm. Demon is an open wound. His hand slides up my thigh without asking, and his lips sink into my neck with a bite that isn’t a caress, it’s punishment, it’s a claim. And I say nothing. I don’t stop him.I can’t.We stay like this for minutes. Three bodies burning in a bed that no longer distinguishes love from war. My muscles still vibrate with las
The press calls us depraved.On digital news sites, our faces are plastered under sensationalist headlines, cropped photos dripping with voyeurism, words trying to destroy what they don’t understand. “Sick threesome,” “immoral triangle,” “obsession of three bodies.”And yet, I see them now —see us— together, breathing the same air in this mansion by the sea, caught in a storm that isn’t meteorological but intimate, brutal, almost beautiful in its rawness.John’s house is a hidden jewel among the dunes: white marble, endless windows, the constant murmur of the ocean as background music. But no matter how luxurious it looks from the outside, it contradicts the electric tension that hums inside.I walk barefoot through the living room like a wounded animal, still wearing last night’s wrinkled dress, clinging to my skin like sweaty guilt. I bite my lip. I say nothing. My eyes are two storms spinning in opposite directions.John is leaning against the wall, silent, brow furrowed, fists cle
The lights at the gala are as bright as blades. Almost painful.The room is filled with perfect faces, dresses that shine brighter than the fake stars on the ceiling, and hollow smiles hiding sharp teeth.And there we are. John, in a suit black as a secret. Demon, with that razor-sharp arrogance in every step.Me, in the middle, wearing a red dress that feels more like a threat.“Don’t let go of me,” John whispers in my ear.His hand rests on the curve of my back—steady, but barely shaking.Demon circles us like a possessive shadow, never stopping his scan of everyone who comes near.The event is in his honor. Some charity thing, an art project, an excuse to prove that John Lambert isn’t just a billionaire CEO devouring his lovers—but also a generous, refined man, worthy of applause.But that illusion will last as long as a sigh.Because she’s here.“You see her?” Demon asks, voice like ice.“Yes,” I reply, without looking.I don’t have to. I can *smell* her. That sweet, poisonous ble
