เข้าสู่ระบบThe next morning, the beach in front of the Reed family mansion was alive with activity.Chloe had invited a few close family friends and cousins over for the first big summer beach party. Music played from a portable speaker, colorful umbrellas dotted the sand, and the smell of barbecue and sunscreen filled the air. Lisa looked elegant even in her swimsuit and cover-up, chatting happily with some of the guests. Gray was already in the water with a group of guys, laughing loudly.I tried my best to act normal.I wore a red bikini that I had bought specifically for this trip. It was a little more revealing than what I usually wore, but I told myself it was just because I wanted to feel confident. Deep down, I knew exactly who I wanted to see me in it.Marcus.He was standing near the barbecue area, talking to one of the uncles. He had taken off his shirt, and the sight of him made my mouth go dry. His body was powerful — broad shoulders, defined chest, and abs that showed he still work
After dinner, everyone was tired.Chloe stretched her arms dramatically and yawned. “I’m so exhausted. The drive back from school really drained me. Let’s all get some good rest tonight because tomorrow we’re hitting the beach properly. No excuses.”Lisa smiled and nodded. “She’s right. Harper, sweetheart, make yourself at home. If you need anything, just let us know.”Gray gave me a small smile as he stood up. “Goodnight, Harper. Sleep well.”I forced a bright smile. “Goodnight everyone. Thank you again for having me.”Marcus simply nodded at all of us, his expression as serious as always. “Rest up.”I followed Chloe upstairs to the guest room they had prepared for me. It was beautiful, with large windows facing the ocean and a comfortable king-sized bed. Chloe hugged me goodnight and disappeared into her own room.But I couldn’t sleep.I lay in bed for what felt like hours, staring at the ceiling. The sound of waves crashing in the distance should have been relaxing, but my mind was
The salty sea breeze hit me the moment I stepped out of the car. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart as I looked up at the beautiful beachfront mansion. This was it. I was really spending the whole summer here with Chloe’s family.“Harper!” Chloe screamed excitedly as she ran down the front steps. Her long brown hair flew behind her as she pulled me into a tight hug. “Finally! I’ve missed you so much!”I laughed and hugged her back. “I missed you too.”Chloe’s mother, Lisa, came down the steps right after her, smiling warmly. She was an elegant woman in her mid-forties with kind eyes and perfectly styled hair. “Harper, sweetheart! Welcome. We’re so happy you could spend the summer with us.”“Thank you so much for having me, Mrs. Reed,” I said politely, even though my eyes kept darting toward the house.Behind Lisa stood Gray, Chloe’s cousin. He was tall with messy dark hair and an easy smile. “Hey Harper,” he said, his eyes lingering on me a little longer than necessa
The woman led me down a long hallway I hadn’t seen before and stopped in front of a heavy black door again.“Mr. Rossi is waiting,” she said quietly, then left me standing there alone.My heart was pounding so hard I could feel it in my throat. I was wearing nothing but a thin silk robe he had left for me in my room. No underwear. Just like his rules demanded. My palms were sweaty as I raised my hand and knocked softly.“Come in.”I opened the door and stepped inside.The room was dimly lit with warm golden lights. It looked like a private study mixed with something darker. A large wooden desk sat near the window. In the center of the room was a sturdy leather chair and, beside it, what looked like a padded bench with leather straps and other tools attached. My stomach tightened.Lorenzo stood near the desk, wearing a black shirt with the top buttons open. His sleeves were rolled up, showing his strong forearms and tattoos. He looked calm, powerful, and completely in control.“Lock th
I barely slept that night.Every time I closed my eyes, I remembered Lorenzo’s deep voice telling me I belonged to him. The way he looked at my naked body. The way his thumb brushed my lip. I tossed and turned on the expensive silk sheets, my skin feeling too hot, my mind racing with fear and strange, unwanted thoughts.When morning light finally filled the room, I sat up slowly. I was still completely naked, just like he had ordered. My clothes from yesterday were gone. Someone must have taken them while I was asleep.I walked to the large closet and opened it. Inside were new clothes–beautiful but revealing. Dresses, skirts, and blouses that looked expensive. But there was no underwear. Not a single piece. I remembered his rule from last night and felt my cheeks burn with embarrassment.I chose a simple but elegant black dress that fell just above my knees. The fabric was soft and clung to my body. Without panties or bra, I felt exposed even though I was fully covered. Every movemen
The drive to Lorenzo Rossi’s mansion felt like it lasted forever.I sat in the back of his sleek black car, my hands clasped tightly in my lap. The two men who had brought me from the warehouse were gone. Now it was just me and the silent driver. Outside the window, the city lights slowly faded away as we drove further out, into a quieter, richer part of town. Tall gates opened automatically when we approached, and the car rolled smoothly up a long driveway lined with trees.When the car finally stopped, I looked up at the house. It wasn’t just a house… it was a mansion. Huge, modern, with sharp lines and dark glass windows. Lights glowed softly from inside. It looked cold and beautiful at the same time.A man in a black suit opened the car door for me. “Follow me, Miss Torres.”My legs felt weak as I stepped out. The night air was cooler here, carrying the faint smell of pine trees and expensive flowers. I followed the man through the large front doors into a wide entrance hall. It
