~Clarissa’s POV~

“Good girl.”

The words were a low rumble, a sound that vibrated through the hushed club and settled deep in my bones.

I had just agreed to his insane terms.....his deal with the devil. But instead of feeling triumphant, I felt a strange mix of exhilaration and unease. And as my mind caught up to the present, I realized that Victor had said that word again. ‘Good girl.’

It was something he said a lot, I now realized, a little verbal tick that he used to acknowledge my defiance, my compliance, and my existence. It shouldn’t have made my stomach flip. It shouldn’t have sent heat racing down my spine like liquid fire.

But it did. Every time he said it, in that low, knowing tone, I felt something in me react before my mind could protest.

It wasn’t patronizing. It was possessive.

It felt like a brand, a mark of his ownership.

I wanted to roll my eyes, to scoff at how condescending it sounded, but the truth was, I liked it. More than liked it. I craved it, though I’d

  • Sweet Temptations: My lover, My Ex's Father    Chapter 14: The Devil's Playground

    ~Clarissa's POV~ My knees pressed against the cool marble floor, the chill a sharp contrast to the fire spreading through my veins. My gaze had fallen, unable to hold the intensity of his storm grey eyes, but I could still feel them on me. It was a tangible weight, a possessive stare that made my skin prickle with both dread and a twisted sense of pride. He wasn't just looking at me; he was drinking me in, like being a specimen under a microscope, a prize newly acquired and meticulously studied. A beat of silence stretched between us, thick with unspoken thoughts and raw tension. His voice broke the silence, low and dangerous.“Look at me, Clarissa.”The command wasn’t harsh, but there was something about it that made my chest tighten, a magnetic pull I couldn’t escape. I hesitated for a moment, before slowly lifting my gaze. His eyes locked with mine....dark, unreadable, yet there was a flicker in them that spoke volumes, as if he was waiting for me to crumble beneath the weight

  • Sweet Temptations: My lover, My Ex's Father    Chapter 12: Do we have a deal?

    ~Clarissa’s POV~ He was perfectly still, his eyes fixed on the small phone screen laid on the table between us. The sounds of our night filled the silence of the private booth....a low, rhythmic groan, a muffled cry, the soft thud of flesh against flesh. It was a raw, unfiltered reel, a short glimpse into a moment of pure, uninhibited connection. A moment I had captured as a shield and now used as a sword. I didn’t look at the screen, rather I watched his face, searching for a crack in the mask of his composure, but there was none. His expression was utterly blank. The video ended. The screen went black, reflecting the dim glow of the city lights outside. Slowly, his gaze lifted, moving from the screen to my face. His eyes, once sparking with playful intrigue, were now unreadable. Not angry, not shocked, but a cold, calculating grey. It was the look of a man who had been handed a puzzle and was calmly putting the pieces together. “Scarlet,” he murmured, the name a ghost on his lip

  • Sweet Temptations: My lover, My Ex's Father    Chapter 11: The Proposal

    ~Clarissa’s POV~ A thick, heavy silence fell between us, as soon as the words left my mouth. Broken only by the soft, ambient beat vibrating through the room. “I….I came to seduce you.” My confession hung there like a dangerous spark in the air, threatening to ignite everything around us. Victor didn’t respond immediately. He just stared at me, his expression carved in stone, his eyes sharp as if he was dissecting my very soul. Every nerve in my body screamed at me to look away, to backpedal, to laugh it off as a joke....but I couldn’t. My heart pounded in my chest like it was trying to break free, and my fingers twisted around the edge of my glass just to give me something to hold on to.Seconds dragged like hours. My throat felt parched, my palms clammy. I squeezed my eyes shut for a brief moment, bracing myself for the worst. I expected a sharp, dismissive retort, a cutting remark, for him to get up, call me delusional, or maybe even have security escort me out.But none of tho

  • Sweet Temptations: My lover, My Ex's Father    Chapter 10: To seduce you

    ~Clarissa’s POV~ My pulse drummed in my ears, a frantic rhythm against the quiet confidence of Victor’s footsteps. I followed him down the long corridor, the sound of my heels a soft echo behind his, the distance between us a silent, charged space. I was supposed to be the predator tonight, the one in control, but right now, I felt more like prey. I was a moth drawn to a flame, and the man in front of me was a raging, beautiful inferno. He walked with an unhurried grace, his spine straight, his shoulders broad and powerful even in the soft fall of his tuxedo. The fabric stretched just so across his back, and I found my eyes tracing the lines of his form, memorizing the way he moved. Every step was deliberate, certain. He didn't rush, because he had no need to. The world bent to him, not the other way around. He was the kind of man who didn't just walk into a room; he commanded it. And I, the girl who had planned every single detail of her revenge, was now just a follower, trailing

    ~Clarissa’s POV~ Oh. My. God. I can't believe this is actually happening, and not some made up illusion in my mind.....this was real. I'm literally staring into the eyes of Mr. Gonzales and I can't bring myself to look away. This is the exact moment I have looked forward to, but now that it's here, for some reason I can't help but feel tongue tied. And to think I had practiced this moment, over and over.Not just in my head, but physically standing in front of my bathroom mirror at ungodly hours, mimicking how I’d lean against a doorway, the exact tilt of my chin, the subtle way I’d cross my arms so it looked effortless but still flattered my collarbone.Don’t smile too much. You’ll look desperate.Don’t slouch.....posture is power.Don’t flip your hair. You’re not auditioning for a shampoo commercial.I’d even gone so far as to rehearse the eyebrow raise: one part interest, one part mystery.But now?Now that I was actually standing in a dimly lit corridor with Victor Gonzales sta
