Sin For Me, Sir. The Knife’s Edge
Chapter Twenty-FourThe Knife’s EdgeLeila’s POVThe silence was a wound.It bled between us, filling the room thicker than smoke, sharper than any blade. My lips still burned from Sebastian’s kiss, my chest still ached with Blake’s broken plea, and yet I felt Damian’s shadow pressing from the corridor like he’d carved himself into the bones of the air.Three men, three hungers, three traps.And me, the foolish center of all of it.I wanted to scream. I wanted to vanish. I wanted God help me to be kissed again.Instead, I stood with my palms pressed flat to the desk, shaking like the wood might steady me.Sebastian hadn’t moved. He stood where I’d left him, chest rising like he’d swallowed fire, his hand white-knuckled against the desk edge. His eyes burned into mine, dark and endless, and I could still taste the desperation he’d poured into me.Blake was different. His face was pale, jaw tight, his fists trembling with restraint. He wasn’t fire he was stone. Breaking himself from the
Sin For Me, Sir. The Fracture
Chapter Twenty-ThreeThe FractureSebastian’s POVThe door clicked shut behind her, and for the first time in years, I felt hollow.Leila’s voice still echoed in the room until then. A promise, a curse, a blade tucked neatly between my ribs.Blake stood across from me, chest heaving, his lip split, blood trailing the curve of his chin. He looked like a man who’d just watched his world slip from his grasp.We were both stripped bare in that silence, but Blake was the first to break it.“You don’t deserve her,” he spat, voice thick with fury.I let the words settle before I answered calmly with a sharp precision. “Neither do you.”His fist tightened at his side. I could see the tremor in his knuckles, the urge to lunge at me, to spill blood just to prove he could.“You think this is a game?” His voice cracked with something beyond rage something rawer, deeper. “Dragging her into your hunger, your chaos, like she’s a piece you get to move on the board?”“She’s not a piece,” I snapped, s
Sin For Me, Sir. The Office Glass
Chapter Twenty-TwoThe Office GlassSebastian’s POVThe sound of the watchers at the door gnawed at my ears like teeth scraping bone. Damian’s smile burned into me, that damn key clenched in his fist, the promise of power sealed in his silence.But it was her face I couldn’t shake….Leila’s face was pale, furious, frightened… and mine at that point didn’t matter.Damian had set the board, but I refused to be his pawn. I wouldn’t let him write the ending for me, not when her choice still lived raw in the air. She had moved toward him first but hesitation was not finality.I caught her wrist again but this time she didn’t pull back.“Come with me,” I whispered…not a plea, not a question it was a command laced with desperation.Her lips parted to argue, but the watchers slammed harder, and in the blur of chaos was Blake wrestling for breath, Damian standing like a statue carved from shadow I dragged her out.Down the corridor, and into the office, door slammed shut in silence of the kind
Sin For Me, Sir. The Quiet Mathematics
Chapter Twenty-one The Quiet MathematicsDamian’s POVLeila moves immediately not to Blake nor to Sebastian but rather to me.Her hand trembles, but it lifts anyway, closing the gap between us. She doesn’t touch my palm, but the intent is there, obviously her choice has been made.Sebastian reacts instantly as his hand clamps around her wrist, jerking her back. The key flashes in his other hand, silver teeth biting his skin.“She doesn’t choose you,” he spits. “She never will.”Leila yanks against him. “Let me go.”I don’t need to move. I don’t need to raise my voice. I only just said “You’re holding her too tightly.”Sebastian bares his teeth. “You gave her the key to destroy her and now you think I’ll let you finish what you started?”“Not think,” I replied. “Know.”Blake cuts in then, shoving himself between them, forcing Sebastian to take back a step. His body is rigid, ready to break if it means shielding her.“Both of you are done,” he snaps. “She isn’t a prize. She isn’t a we
Sin For Me, Sir. The Quiet Mathematics
Chapter Twenty The Quiet MathematicsDamian’s POVThe knock silences them.Of course it does.Three people, three different equations, all suspended by a sound they cannot solve.Inside, Sebastian stills first. Always the predator steadily pausing, calculating, deciding whether the sound is prey or rival because he never has a partner not even his wife. He will assume the latter. He has always assumed the world spins around challengers waiting for him.Leila’s breath stutters next. She isn’t afraid of the noise itself. She is afraid of what she doesn’t know always the impatient and she is clever enough to know she doesn’t know much. That awareness is both her strength and her fracture.Blake reacts last as he took steps closer, hand already tightening into a fist just like a protective reflex or maybe loyal reflex just perfectly the sort of reflex that kills men like him early, because loyalty is faster than reason.I could predict their exact words before they speak.Sebastian: shar
Sin For Me, Sir. The Quiet Mathematics
Chapter NineteenThe Quiet MathematicsDamian’s POVStillness is an equation, I know this because I have lived long enough to measure silence like currency.And tonight, the silence tells me everything.Sebastian has moved. Blake has followed. Leila has chosen neither, which is a choice in itself.I should let it play out and let Sebastian do what he does best seduce, consume, fracture. Let Blake do what he does worst believe. Let Leila dangle between them like the spark in dry grass, burning before she even knows she’s on fire.But I am not as patient as the watchers.Nor as cruel as Sebastian.Nor as faithful as Blake.I am something else. Something they keep forgetting because they want me to be only one thing: brother, traitor, ghost.But I am mathematician before all of it. I keep the numbers.And the numbers say this: if Leila keeps the key, the Crown will find her. If Sebastian takes it, the game accelerates too fast. If Blake shields her, he dies before dawn.So the numbers
