เข้าสู่ระบบElara pov The night the King’s Commander came for me started like any other. The cloying scent of my mother’s stew simmered on the hearth, my father was repairing a fishing net by the weak light of an oil lamp, and I was trying to mend a tear in my own simple dress. The The knock on the door did not sound like a friendly one, It was heavy, sharp, and seemed to suck all the warm air out of our small cottage.My father froze, his hands hovering over the rough twine. My mother stopped her stirring, the wooden spoon dripping a pale broth onto the stone floor. We all knew who that was–no one usually got knocks like that unless it was the King’s men.My father straightened as much as he could and went to the door and opened it just a crack. "Yes?" he asked, his voice thin. “How may we help you?”The door was pushed open without ceremony, and in stepped a man dressed in black leather and polished steel. The King’s Commander. I’d seen him before, from a distance, during the harvest festival
Kimberly pov The next few minutes were an eternity. We stood in our respective corners, the silence filling the room like a physical presence. The initial haze of lust was gone, replaced by a cold and sharp clarity. Every detail was hyper-real, the lingering, musky scent of sex, the rough texture of the wall against my back.I buttoned my ruined blouse as best I could, the gaping hole a constant, silent scream. I felt exposed, marked. My body ached in places I hadn't thought about in years–a pleasant, lingering soreness that was a direct contradiction to the turmoil in my head.He hadn't moved. He was just watching me, his arms crossed again. But the posture was different now, less like a cage and more like a shield. He looked as uncomfortable as I felt. The powerful, arrogant predator was gone, and in his place was a man who had just made a catastrophic mistake with a woman he couldn't stand."You good?" he finally asked, his voice rough.The question was so plain, so ridiculously
Kimberly povHe hissed, his hips jerking forward into my hand. "Fuck, Clarke.""That's the idea, Croft," I shot back, stroking him, my thumb spreading the wetness already beading at his tip.He shoved my skirt up around my waist, his fingers hooking into the waistband of my panties. He didn't pull them down. He ripped them. The thin lace gave way with a sharp sound, and I moaned, a deep, shameful sound of pure lust.He kicked my feet apart, and then his fingers were there, sliding through my wet folds, finding my clit with unerring, brutal accuracy.I cried out, my back bowing off the wall. His touch was nothing like I imagined. It wasn't gentle or tentative, It was knowing and possesive . He circled the hard nub, pinching it, rubbing it until my thighs were shaking."Is this what you wanted?" he murmured against my jaw, his fingers working me, pushing me closer to the edge. "To get fucked in an elevator by the dinosaur?"I couldn't answer. I could only pant and moan, my hips riding
Kimberly povThe heat was the first thing that became unbearable.It wasn't a sudden feeling, but a slow, creeping oppression. The tiny, sealed box of the elevator was an oven, baking us in our own body heat. The starched collar of my blouse was already damp against my skin. I could feel a trickle of sweat slide down between my shoulder blades and the single red light seemed to pulse in the suffocating darkness.Across from me, Julian shifted, the sound of his shoes scuffing on the floor loud in the silence. He unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt, rolling the sleeves up to his elbows, revealing his thick, corded forearms dusted with dark hair. The sight was so random that it sent another jolt through me."Hot in here," he said, his voice a low rasp."No kidding," I shot back, my throat dry. I wanted to take off my blazer, but the thought of being in just my blouse– of exposing more skin while he was less than a few feet away, made me feel strangely vulnerable. So I just stood there, my
Kimberly povI should have been home an hour ago. I should have been pouring a glass of cheap red wine and sinking into my couch. Instead, I was staring at the back of Julian Croft's head.He was leaning over my desk, pointing at a paragraph in the quarterly report. His jacket was stretched tight across his shoulders, outlining the hard muscle beneath. His tie was loosened–a rare sign that he was tired. "Here, Clarke," he said, his voice a low rumble that vibrated through my desk and up my arms. "This projection is extremely favorable."I didn't look up from my screen. "It's an educated projection, Croft. Based on emerging market trends. A concept you might not be familiar with, since your entire department seems to operate on 'what we did last year'."He straightened up, and I felt his presence behind me like a furnace."My department brings in sixty percent of this company's revenue, Clarke. Your 'emerging market trends' are a gamble. A very expensive one."I spun in my chair to fac
Chapter 4Celia pov"I've been ready since last night," I breathed.And with that, he surged into me. The water made the movement slow, fluid, but the sensation was just as overwhelming as it had been before. He filled me completely, stretching me in a way that was both painful and intensely pleasurable. I wrapped my arms around his neck, holding on as he began to move.He set a slow, deep rhythm, each thrust a long, hard stroke that hit me in just the right spot. The water buoyed us, making us weightless, and the only sounds were our ragged breaths, the gentle slap of water against our bodies, and my soft, helpless moans."You feel so fucking good," he growled, his hands gripping my ass, pulling me deeper onto his cock. "So tight, so wet."I couldn't form words. I could only hold on and ride the wave of pleasure he was creating. My head fell back against the tiled wall, my eyes closed, my entire world narrowed down to the feeling of him inside me, the sensation of his hands on my sk
