تسجيل الدخولELARA.He didn’t let go of my throat right away.His eyes stayed on the phone screen for another second. Then he locked it, slid it into his pocket, and looked at me like the visitor downstairs had already been handled in his mind.“Stay behind me. Do exactly what I say. If I tell you to run, you run. Clear?”“Clear.”He grabbed a second gun from a drawer and pressed it into my hand. The metal was cold. Heavy. My fingers closed around it because there was no other option.“Safety’s off. Point and pull if anyone who isn’t me gets too close.”We took the elevator down in silence. His body blocked most of mine. When the doors opened onto the private garage level, three men were already waiting. Two I didn’t recognize. The third I did.My old contact. The one who had promised to wipe my trail if I delivered one last envelope.He smiled when he saw me. It didn’t reach his eyes.“Elara. Or whatever you’re calling yourself these days. You’ve been busy.”The boss stepped fully in front of me.
ELARA.My mouth went dry.He was still standing between my thighs, hand under the shirt, fingers resting against the mess he’d left inside me like it belonged there. Waiting. Patient in the way only dangerous men could be.“I used to work for the same people Lina did,” I said.His entire body went still.The fingers between my legs didn’t move, but the air around us changed. Turned sharper. Colder.“Explain.”“Not as a dancer. Not as a plant.” My voice came out thinner than I wanted. “I did numbers. Cleaned money. Moved files. Small things. I quit six months ago when I realized how deep it went. Changed my name. Moved apartments. Tried to disappear.” I forced myself to meet his eyes. “The envelope I was delivering the night I walked into your room… it was the last job. One final drop for a contact who said he’d wipe the rest of my trail if I did it. I didn’t know the room was yours. I didn’t know any of this would happen.”Silence stretched. His jaw worked once. The hand under my shir
ELARA.He didn’t let me get dressed properly.A soft black shirt of his hit my chest while he finished buttoning his trousers. It hung to mid-thigh and smelled like him. No bra. No underwear. Just the shirt and the sticky evidence of what he’d done to me still between my legs.“Put it on. You’re coming with me.”My pulse kicked. “Downstairs?”“You heard what he said. Your name is in mouths it shouldn’t be in. Until I know how far that goes, you don’t leave my sight.” He grabbed his gun from the nightstand and slid it into the holster at his back like it was just another accessory. “Move.”The elevator ride down was silent except for the soft hum of the car. He stood close enough that his shoulder brushed mine. Every few seconds his eyes flicked to the way the shirt clung to my bare breasts or the faint marks he’d left on my thighs. Possession and calculation mixed in his gaze until I couldn’t tell which one was stronger.The private floor below the penthouse was all dark wood and low
ELARA.He answered the phone without looking away from me.“Talk.”Whoever was on the other end spoke fast. His expression didn’t change, but the hand resting on my bare stomach flexed once. Hard.“Handle it. I’m occupied.” A pause. “I said handle it.”He ended the call and tossed the phone onto the nightstand. Then he looked down at me again. Legs still open. Underwear still on. Chest rising too fast.“Where were we?”His fingers hooked into the sides of my underwear and dragged them down my legs in one slow pull. The lace caught for a second on my thighs before he yanked harder. Cool air hit the soaked heat between my legs. He tossed the underwear aside and stared.“Fuck.” The word came out low. Rough. “Look at you. Dripping down to the sheets already and I haven’t even put my mouth on you yet.”He shoved his trousers and boxers down just enough. His cock sprang free, thick and hard and already leaking at the tip. My stomach flipped. He wrapped one hand around himself and stroked on
ELARA.He kissed me like he already owned the air in my lungs. Slow at first. Then deeper. His hand under my jaw kept my face tilted exactly where he wanted it while his tongue slid against mine and stole every coherent thought I had left.When he finally pulled back I was breathing like I’d run up the stairs. He looked calm. Almost bored. The only tell was the dark flush high on his cheekbones and the hard line of his cock pressing against my hip through his trousers.“Elevator’s locked,” he said. “Penthouse is soundproof. No one comes up unless I call them.” His thumb brushed the corner of my mouth. “You’re mine until morning. Maybe longer. Depends how good you are at taking what I give you.”I didn’t answer. My lips still tingled. He stepped back and nodded toward the wide black couch facing the floor-to-ceiling windows. City lights glittered below us like they had no idea what was happening thirty floors up.“Sit.”I sat. The leather was cool against the backs of my thighs. My dre
ELARA.The door opened without a knock. One of his men stepped in, eyes carefully blank, voice low.“Boss. There’s a situation downstairs. Needs you.”The hand under my dress didn’t move. Thick fingers stayed pressed against the soaked lace of my underwear, holding me open and exposed like the interruption meant nothing. My face burned. I tried to close my thighs. He squeezed once in warning and I froze.He looked at the man over my shoulder.“Handle it. I’m busy.”“It’s about the girl from last week. The one who didn’t show.”Something in the air changed. The fingers between my legs stilled. Slowly, he pulled his hand free. The wet sound of it was obscene in the quiet. He brought those same fingers up between us and looked at the shine on them like he was confirming a fact.Then he looked at me.Really looked.The heat in his eyes didn’t disappear. It sharpened.“You’re not her.”It wasn’t a question.My stomach dropped so hard I felt it in my knees. I scrambled off his lap. He let m
