Jennifer’s POV
I’d always been an early bird. But lately, it was the nights that made me feel most alive—something about the quiet, the city lights shimmering through the gym windows, the hum of the equipment, the stillness. It felt like I belonged to a different world at night. A more daring one. I had a habit of showing up just before the sun dipped below the skyline. Everyone else had cleared out by then—except Chase. Chase, my trainer. We were always the last two. Just the sound of our breathing, the clink of metal weights, and his voice, deep and smooth, guiding me through every motion. He had a presence that made me feel… safe. And hot all over. His hands lingered when they didn’t have to. When he corrected my form or helped stretch out my legs on the mat, they’d brush against my thighs, my hips, sometimes my ass. It was never long enough to be inappropriate—but always long enough to make me crave more. And I knew he looked at me. I caught his gaze drifting over my curves more than once—especially when I bent down to grab a dumbbell or stretched out during cool-downs. And when I caught him? He’d just flash that crooked little smile, like he wasn’t doing anything wrong. Like he was daring me to call him out. I never did. Our conversations were always soaked in playful teasing, loaded with flirtation and double meanings. We laughed like nothing was happening, but everything was happening. There was electricity in every glance. Every touch. Every second we spent alone in that empty gym felt like we were dancing around something we both desperately wanted. Until that night—when we stopped dancing. “Alright, that’s enough for today,” Chase said, brushing sweat from his brow after our usual two-hour grind. “You did amazing, Jennifer.” I gave him a soft smile. “Thanks.” I turned and walked toward the showers, heart pounding harder than it had during cardio. My skin was slick with sweat, and my muscles ached in the best way. But my thoughts… they were on him. The way he looked at me. The way I wanted him to touch me more. I stepped into the stall and let the hot water stream over me, washing away the soreness, the tension… and maybe the restraint I’d been clinging to for weeks. That’s when I saw it—a shadow on the other side of the frosted glass. My breath caught. “Chase?” I called, turning slightly. The door opened. He stepped inside like he belonged there, towel slung casually over his shoulder, a wild glint in his eyes. “What are you doing?” I asked, my voice barely a whisper, wavering between shock and excitement. “I thought we should finish our session properly,” he said, stepping forward until the space between us vanished. Before I could stop him—or myself—his mouth was on mine. Hot. Demanding. Devouring. I melted into him instantly, moaning into the kiss as his arms wrapped around me. My hands gripped his shoulders, nails digging into his skin as the water poured down over us. He pinned me gently against the cool tiles, one hand cupping the back of my neck while the other traveled down the curve of my spine. “This what you wanted, Jennifer?” he murmured against my lips. “Yes,” I breathed, arching into him. “I want you.” His mouth moved to my throat, kissing, nibbling, sucking—making my knees weak. His hands explored every inch of my body like he’d memorized it already. When he dropped to his knees, I almost lost it. “I’ve wanted this for so long,” he said, looking up at me from between my thighs, eyes heavy with lust. “Please. Let me taste you.” The sight of him on his knees for me made something primal rise in my chest. “I’m in control now,” I said, cupping his face. “You follow every instruction. Understood?” “Yes, ma’am.” “Good.” I pulled him closer. “Now taste me.” And god—he did. His tongue danced over my folds with expert precision, teasing, then plunging deeper. I gasped and clutched his hair, grinding against his mouth. The pleasure built fast—too fast—but I didn’t stop him. I wanted all of it. “Harder,” I panted. “Don’t stop.” He groaned into me, the vibration sending sparks through my core. His hands gripped my thighs, pulling me open wider. One slid up to my breasts, massaging and pinching my nipples just how I liked it. “Fuck, Chase,” I moaned. “Just like that…” I came hard, crying out his name, thighs trembling as he lapped up every drop of me like he was starving. But he wasn’t done. In one swift move, he stood, grabbed my ass, and lifted me against the wall. I wrapped my legs around his waist just as he slid inside me—slow, deep, thick. We both gasped. The stretch. The heat. The feeling of being completely filled. “Oh my god…” I moaned into his neck as he began to move—slow at first, then faster, deeper, harder. The sound of our bodies slapping together mixed with the water hitting our skin, our grunts and moans echoing off the tile walls. I bit his shoulder, raked my nails down his back, leaving red trails. He didn’t stop. “Say it,” he growled. “Tell me how good I feel.” “So good,” I panted. “You feel so fucking good inside me, Chase.” He slammed into me, again and again, driving me wild until we were both close—so close. And then, together, we fell. Our orgasms crashed over us like a tidal wave, our cries lost in the hiss of the water. His arms held me tight as we shook against each other, trembling, panting, completely undone. When we finally collapsed to the floor, tangled in each other, I could barely speak. “That was…” I whispered breathlessly. “Unexpected?” he chuckled, kissing my temple. I smiled, still dazed. “Perfect.” He brushed a wet strand of hair from my face. “I’ve wanted you for so long, Jennifer. I just didn’t know if I should cross that line.” “You didn’t,” I whispered, pulling him in again. “We crossed it together.” And something told me… this was only the beginning.Isla’s POVI should’ve been exhausted.After what Damian did to me—after what I let him do—my body should’ve been limp with fatigue. My mind should’ve been swimming in confusion. But all I felt was… clarity.My skin still tingled where he’d kissed me.I could still feel the soft burn of the silk ropes.And every time I closed my eyes, I saw him—between my legs, at my throat, in my soul.I had never wanted anything more in my life. And that terrified me.⸻It had been two weeks since the night in The Crimson Chamber.Two weeks of daily sessions—each one more intense than the last.Ice cubes trailed down my spine. A flogger that made me cry out in pain and pleasure. Kneeling for hours with a gag in my mouth while he read business reports like it was the most normal thing in the world.He never left marks. Never crossed boundaries.He pushed me to the edge—and taught me to beg for the fall.But tonight felt… different.Damian had texted me just one word again: Ready?When I entered the l
Isla’s POVI stood in front of a door with no sign, no label. Just a single red light glowing softly above it, like a warning… or an invitation.My dress clung to my body—a scarlet silk slip chosen per Damian’s command. No bra. No panties. Just silk on bare skin. The air outside was cool, but my body was already flushed with anticipation.He hadn’t touched me since I signed the contract. Three days had passed.Three days of silence.Three days of thinking I’d imagined the hunger in his kiss.Then today, a car. A note. A single word: Tonight.And now I was here, heart pounding like a war drum behind my ribs.The door clicked open.Damian stood on the other side, dressed in a black button-down shirt, sleeves rolled up, no tie, no smile. Just those dark eyes, raking over me slowly, thoroughly, like he owned every inch of my skin.“Come,” he said simply.I stepped inside, and the door shut behind me with a finality that echoed in my spine.The room swallowed me.It was nothing like I imag
Isla’s POV The clink of champagne glasses, the soft hum of orchestral strings, and the sparkle of a thousand-dollar chandelier should have calmed my nerves. Instead, I stood near the edge of the ballroom, fingers clenched tightly around my flute of bubbly, trying not to show that my world was falling apart. This gala was supposed to be my chance to find salvation. And he was my last hope. Damian Voss. He stood across the room like a shadow dressed in Armani. Dark suit. Darker eyes. A glass of scotch in his hand. Untouchable. Unbothered. The kind of man who made powerful people nervous—and powerless ones like me ache. He’d already said no once. I had pitched my ideas. Presented my portfolio. Begged for a meeting. And he’d declined without even blinking. Yet here I was, invited to his party, wearing the most expensive dress I could rent, praying he saw me. And then—he did. His gaze found me like a brand, hot and sharp. My breath caught. I couldn’t move. Damian Voss did
Cassy’s POV The collar cinches tight around my neck, cool leather pressing into my skin, branding me with something far deeper than touch—ownership. His fingers brush along my jaw, lingering at the hinge, then drift down the column of my throat. I shiver. “Breathe, pet.” I inhale shakily through parted lips, the blindfold keeping me in darkness, heightening every other sensation. My hearing sharpens—his soft breaths, the faint jingle of metal tools on the wall behind him, the wet sound of a moan from another room. But it’s his presence that consumes me. A living force. Dominant. Controlled. Predatory. “On your hands and knees.” I obey instantly, knees sinking into the soft leather flooring, palms pressed flat. I feel exposed—naked and displayed—but it also awakens something wild and primal in me. He walks around me slowly, deliberately, like he’s appraising prey. I can’t see his eyes behind the mask, but I can feel them, scorching down my spine. “I will teach you to obey,” he
Cassy’s POV“I’m not so sure about this,” I say, my voice barely above a whisper. My heart pounds against my ribcage as I glance up at the massive black doors in front of us, my fingers twitching with nerves.Lily rolls her eyes and loops her arm through mine, her grin as mischievous as ever. “Cassy, relax. It’s not like we’re about to skydive naked—although that’s next on my list for your twenty-first. This… this is just a club. A gift. And you need to stop being so stiff.”I take a deep breath and try to laugh, but it catches in my throat. A BDSM club. Me. Inside one.I’ve read about them in the darkest corners of my romance novels, imagined what it might feel like to surrender, to give in to something wild and primal—but now I’m standing on the threshold of that fantasy, and I feel like my entire body is about to short-circuit.Still, I follow her in. I signed up for this, didn’t I?A sharply dressed man with a golden tan and piercing eyes steps forward. “Welcome to The Red Room,”
