A Desperate Lie

last update publish date: 2026-02-27 16:09:29

“ oh…. Mr Ethan….go in deep!” I said, as my voice was like a ragged, breathless whisper. My eyes, which had been closed, snapped open and locked on his. The fake pleasure on my face was a mask I had worn for years, but the look in my eyes now was something else entirely.

 It was a mix of triumph, desperation, and a raw, hungry animalism that I didn't recognize in myself. He fingered me so deep while I stroked so fast, my hand was like a frantic blur against his cock. The rhythm was primal, a silent language of pure, unbridled need. The world outside the small restroom had ceased to exist. There was only us. Only this.

His face was a mask of pure pleasure, beads of sweat glistening on his forehead. He panted, his ragged breaths hot against my face. "What's your name, beautiful?” he asked, his voice a low growl.

 My lips clicked together for a moment, a second of pure, silent panic. My real name, the name of the girl who died on a rainy night fourteen years ago, was a sacred thing. It was not for him. It was not for Malcovich.

I responded so fast, a lie I had practiced a thousand times. The name was a key, a lock, a way to keep my real self safe. "Norah…. Handsome “ I said, my voice husky and low. 

That's the name I want you to believe... that's the name I gave him. I watched as a small, triumphant smile spread across his face, and a sick wave of satisfaction washed over me. He had taken the bait. My deception was complete.

Immediately Ethan grabbed my ass, his fingers digging into my skin. He pulled me so close to his, our bodies pressing together in a way that left no room for air, no room for thought. His mouth brushed at my ear as he said "I want to fuck you right here, Norah.” His voice was a promise, a threat, a demand.

 It was a mirror of his father's cold, calculating words on that dark night. The memory, a sharp, bitter knife, sliced through my haze of fake lust. A flash of pure, unadulterated hatred shot through me. This wasn't about pleasure. This wasn't even about revenge anymore. It was about survival.

Without waiting for my answer he thrusted so quickly, a sudden, powerful force that took my breath away. A loud, shocked gasp escaped my lips, a mix of genuine pain and a raw, untamed pleasure that made my head spin. “God…. Ethan….fuck me “ I said, the words were like a desperate prayer. I grabbed his shoulder and digged my fingers in his chest as I moaned. The sound was not a performance. It was a cry from the deepest part of me, a part of me that had been buried alive for years.

Yes this wasn't part of the mission but it was still it. The initial plan had been a slow, calculated seduction, a long, drawn out game of cat and mouse. This… this was a train wreck. But it was still a part of it because I'm on to make the Malcovichs pay, whatever it will take, I don't mind. I had to let him in. I had to let him touch me, to feel me, to possess me. Because in the end, I would be the one to take everything from him. This was a sacrifice, a necessary evil, a lie I had to live to get my vengeance.

Ethan groaned as he thrust faster, his hips were like a powerful, frantic motion. The sounds of skin colliding was making it sound so pleasurable as I moaned, biting his shirt. The sound was not of a woman in love, but of a beast in a cage. He moaned so loud as he dug his fingers in my ass as he thrust so fast. The pain, the pleasure, the hatred, it was all a frantic, beautiful, and terrifying mix.

"I'm cumming baby…” he said, his voice a guttural roar, while his breath ragged. The words were a victory for him, a confirmation of his power over me. But for me, they were a sign that my mission was working. He was mine now. He was in my hands. The end was in sight.

I felt the pleasure building inside me, a wild, uncontrollable force that I had no power over. My body, a traitor, was responding to his. The world began to spin, the lights in the restroom blurring into a kaleidoscope of colors.

 My breath caught in my throat, a scream of pleasure and pain trapped inside. I said, almost like it just came out from my mouth because I was about to shut out an orgasm, “ I'm cumming too Ethan…. Arrrrrh” and that was it, hot liquid came rushing out as I dropped my head on Ethan's chest breathing heavily.

The world slowly came back into focus. The sounds of our ragged breathing, the distant music of the gala, the cold porcelain beneath me. My body was still trembling, a ghost of the frantic energy that had just consumed us. Ethan dropped his head on mine as we both held ourselves like lovers.

 His arms, that were so strong and possessive just moments ago, were now gentle, comforting. He held me close, his chest a warm, safe place to rest my head. It was a terrifying intimacy, a false moment of peace that made the hatred in my heart burn even hotter.

I heard his heart beating against my ear, a slow, steady rhythm that was a stark contrast to the frantic beat of my own. He was quiet, just holding me, and for a moment, I almost forgot why I was here. I almost forgot who he was, who his father was. But then he pulled away from the hug, looking at me as if I was his one time lost love. His gray eyes, so much like his father's, were now soft, vulnerable. The look was a dagger to my heart. 

Come on Ethan quit the stare, we weren't lovers, I thought, the anger felt like a cold, hard knot in my stomach. I was a weapon. I was not a lover.

But Ethan said immediately, his voice low and serious, "come with me Norah.”

    “No, no, Emily,” I said, my voice coming out as a strained, tight sound, a fragile barrier against the chaos that was threatening to consume my mind. I looked at Emily, my gaze firm, and with a slow, deliberate motion, I gently lowered my coffee cup onto the small, wooden table.The sound was a soft clink, a tiny, insignificant noise that felt deafening in the heavy, suffocating silence of the room. “Come on, Emily, you’re jumping to conclusions. I think Miriam is only trying to get some pictures for her Instagram reels or maybe a little bit of drama for her engagement.” I said the words, but even as I spoke, they tasted like ash in my mouth. I was trying to convince her, but more than that, I was trying to convince myself. I wanted to believe it was all just a wild, painful coincidence.Emily shook her head slowly, her eyes, usually so soft and kind, were now filled with a cold, unsettling certainty. Her hands, clasped around her own mug, were trembling, and I could see the fine trem

  • Sinful Vows   The Ghost of the Past

    "What does Miriam have to do with it?"The question hung in the stale air between us, a puzzle piece that didn't seem to fit. Miriam. The name itself was a bitter taste in my mouth, a reminder of the kind of life I had left behind. She was the princess, the society darling who had always seen me as her rival for Ethan's attention. Even before I had infiltrated his life as "Norah," Miriam had been a constant, buzzing mosquito in the background, her jealousy a sharp, pointed thing. The idea of her being involved in something so brutal, so... street, was hard to wrap my head around.I took a slow, painful sip of the coffee Emily had made for me. It was bitter, just like everything else. The warmth was a small comfort against the cold, hollow ache in my bones. I didn't care about Freddie's death. I told myself that.He was a snake, a man who profited from other people's misery. He had been sniffing around people's past for years, a persistent pest trying to dig up people's secrets. A part

  • Sinful Vows   A Promise in the Dark

    "You don't get it, Emily, I just don't want my coming back to be suspicious to Ethan."The words tasted like ash in my mouth, but they were the truth. I never needed him to wonder, to doubt. I never wanted him to feel the same gnawing uncertainty that had become my constant companion. I needed him to know that the woman he thought he knew, the one he called Norah, was nothing but the truth. It was a cruel necessity, a way to protect the shards of my heart that still clung to the memory of him.Emily's face, a mask of concern for so long, softened into a look of profound relief. A small, sad smile touched her lips, a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. She sat on the edge of the mattress, the springs groaning in protest. The room was small and airless, smelling of damp concrete and old dust. It was a far cry from the luxurious life I had been living, and it was a harsh reminder of where I had come from."I know," she said, her voice a low murmur. "I know. It's the only way this wor

  • Sinful Vows   A Lingering Phantom

    Days blur into an endless cycle of pain and despair. I lay on the thin mattress, staring at the water-stained ceiling. The pain was a constant, throbbing hum beneath my skin, it was a deep ache that had settled into my bones and refused to let go. Every breath was a shallow, and painful gasp, it was a reminder of the brutality I had endured. My body was no longer my own, it was a cage of agony.My mind, however, was a battlefield of a different kind. It replayed my moments with Ethan, a cruel paradox of kindness and my mission of revenge. The memory of his face, that was so open and honest, was a phantom that haunted my waking moments.I could almost feel his hands in my hair, his lips against mine, and the phantom sensations were so real that they were almost more painful than my physical wounds. I tried to build a wall of hate, telling myself he was the enemy, a Malcovich bloodline, but his image persisted, a phantom of kindness in my memory. I felt a consuming loneliness, trapped b

    "Why do you have to ask me such baseless questions? You know who did it."The words escaped my lips in a whisper of pure venom, a hiss of pain and rage. I tried to push myself up from the hard, unforgiving floor, every muscle in my body screaming in protest. A fresh wave of white-hot agony shot through my ribs, and I cried out, a broken, pathetic sound that was so unlike the woman I had become. I slumped back down, my body trembling, tears of frustration and helplessness welling in my eyes. The old, dusty floorboards seemed to mock me, the familiar scent of decay and lost dreams filling my lungs. This was my reality now, a brutal reminder of the world I had fought so hard to escape.Emily’s face, which had been a mask of shock, twisted into a look of anguished fury. Her eyes, usually so warm and full of life, were now a raging storm of anger and pain. She knelt down beside me, her hands hovering, afraid to touch the wreckage that was my body.“Aria, please,” she begged, her voice a ra

    I opened my eyes. The world was a spinning vortex of pain, a maelstrom of agony that had no beginning and no end. My body was a battlefield of bruises, a map of purple and black that stretched from my shoulders down to my legs. Now, i was in my old apartment in the slums, a place I had thought and vowed I wouldn’t come to see again. The air was thick with the smell of mold and despair, and the light that filtered through the grimy window was a pale, sickly yellow.I was lying on the thin, lumpy mattress, my body a cold, shivering wreck. I was only wearing my bra and pants, my clothes ripped away from me in a brutal display of power. A deep, bone-chilling cold had settled into my soul, a cold that had nothing to do with the temperature of the room. I felt it in my bones, a cold that had come to stay.I tried to sit up, but a fresh wave of pain shot through my body, and I cried out, a small, pathetic whimper that was swallowed by the silence. My body was a mass of broken bones and bruis
