MasukAndrea’s POV
His lips crash against mine, hard and sure. The kiss is nothing like the soft ones I imagined in my head for my first one. It is demanding. His hand stays firm behind my neck, holding me exactly where he wants me. My hands stay cold at my sides, but I do not pull away. I cannot. This is what I signed up for.
Tristan presses closer until my back hits the wall. The red lingerie feels too thin between us. His body is warm and solid, and I feel every inch of him. He breaks the kiss just enough to look down at me. His grey eyes are dark now, but still cold.
“Bed,” he says, voice low.
Before I can move, he lifts me. My feet leave the floor. In two strides he drops me onto the big bed. The mattress bounces under me. I lie there, heart pounding, staring up at him as he stands over me.
He reaches for his shirt and tears it open. Buttons scatter across the floor with sharp little clicks. The sound makes me flinch. His chest is broad, muscles tight under smooth skin. He looks powerful. Dangerous. Nothing like the boys I have seen in my old neighborhood.
I try to sit up, try to do something, anything. My hands reach for him, clumsy and unsure. I want to match his speed, to show I am not completely lost. A small sound escapes my throat, something between a moan and a nervous breath.
“Calm down,” he says, voice rough. He pushes me back down with one hand on my shoulder. “Follow my lead. That is what you are here for.”
His fingers hook into the thin straps of the lingerie. He pulls them down my arms in one quick motion. Cool air hits my breasts. My nipples tighten instantly under his stare. He does not waste time. His palms cover them, rough and possessive. He squeezes, thumbs brushing over the sensitive peaks until I gasp.
“You like that?” he asks, pinching one nipple harder.
A sharp spark shoots through me. I nod fast, words stuck in my throat.
“Answer properly when I ask you something.”
“Yes,”
“Yes, Master.” He corrects.
I swallow. “Yes… Master.”
The word feels strange on my tongue, but his eyes flash with approval. He leans down and takes one nipple into his mouth. His tongue is hot and wet. He sucks hard, then bites just enough to make me arch off the bed. My hands fly to his shoulders, gripping tight. I do not know if I am pushing him away or pulling him closer.
He moves to the other breast, sucking and licking while his free hand slides down my stomach. His fingers dip between my legs. He finds me already wet and pushes one thick finger inside without warning.
I gasp, thighs trying to close around his hand.
“You are very tight,” he mutters against my skin.
Is that supposed to be a compliment or a complaint?
Before I find an answer to that question, Tristan adds a second finger, stretching me. “Haven’t had a good fuck in a while, huh?”
I bite my lip and stay silent.
I cannot tell him the truth. Not now. Not when everything feels so intense. He probably thinks a girl bold enough to fake her entire life must have experience. I do not want to ruin this moment.
He pumps his fingers faster, curling them in a way that makes heat coil low in my belly. His thumb finds my clit and circles it roughly. Pleasure mixes with the slight burn, my breathing comes quick and shallow like pants.
“Tell me how it feels,” he demands.
“Good,” I whisper.
He stops moving his hand. “Try again.”
I force the word out. “Good, Master.”
“That is better.” He rewards me by pressing harder on my clit. My hips jerk. He chuckles, low and dark. “Look at you. Already dripping for me. Such a good little liar.”
He keeps working me with his fingers, sucking on my nipples until they are swollen and aching. My body starts to tremble. The pleasure builds fast, almost too fast. I whimper, unsure what is happening to me.
Tristan pulls his fingers out suddenly. I feel empty. He stands up and unfastens his belt. The metal clinks. He pushes his pants down. His cock springs free, thick and rock hard, the head already glistening. My eyes widen. It looks too big. Too much for me to contain.
He climbs back on the bed, spreading my legs wide with his knees. No more slow teasing. I swallow hard, eyes following his every move. Shit. Maybe I'm not too ready for this.
Before I'm given the chance to change my mind, Tristan lines himself up and pushes inside me with one rough thrust.
Pain explodes between my legs instantly.
“Ouch! Ow!” The scream tears out of me before I can stop it. It hurts. It feels like I am tearing apart inside.
Tristan freezes, buried only halfway. His jaw tightens. “What?”
“Please wait… ow!” Tears prick my eyes. I push at his chest with weak hands. “It hurts.”
“Andrea,” He calls carefully, a frown settling deeply between his brows, his grey eyes narrowing. “Are you a virgin?”
I nod carefully, biting my lip to keep from crying out again.
“Fuck,” he curses under his breath.
He pulls out instantly. The sudden emptiness makes me wince. Without another word he zips himself up, grabs his torn shirt from the floor, and walks out of the room. The door clicks shut behind him.
I lie there on the bed, naked, legs still spread, the red lingerie tangled around my waist. Confusion and embarrassment burn through me. My body still throbs where he was. The pain fades slowly, but the shame stays sharp.
He just left. No explanation. No goodbye. Nothing.
I pull the sheet over myself and curl up tight. What happened? Where did I go wrong?
Chapter SevenAndrea’s POV“The contract is terminated.”Tristan’s voice hits me the moment I step into the dining area. I freeze right there in the doorway, still in the soft white robe Claire left outside my door this morning. My inner thighs ache with a dull throb from last night, a constant reminder of that one rough push he made before everything stopped. I woke up too early because Claire said Mr. Hale wanted to see me before he left for work. Now I wish I had stayed in bed.He sits at the head of the long table, already dressed in a sharp dark suit that makes him look even more untouchable. The jacket fits perfectly over his broad shoulders. His hair is neat, not a strand out of place. A folder lies open in front of him with papers inside. He does not look up at first.Sunlight from the tall windows catches on his watch, the expensive kind that probably costs more than a year of my mother’s salary. He looks every bit the powerful man who can end my problems with one phone call

Andrea’s POVBy eight o’clock I am already sitting at the long dining table like he ordered. My back stays straight, hands resting on my lap the way I practiced a hundred times in front of cracked mirrors at home. The table looks like someone is throwing a party for twenty people instead of just two. Plates of roasted meat, creamy pasta, fresh salads, grilled fish, and little desserts I cannot even name cover every inch. Everything smells rich and expensive. My stomach should be growling, but all I feel is a tight knot sitting heavy inside me.I wait.The chair feels too big under me. The lights above shine too bright. Even the cool air from the vents feels too perfect. I keep telling myself this is what I wanted. This is the life I spent months faking. But sitting here alone in all this luxury makes my old pretending feel cheap and silly.Minutes drag by. Still no sign of Tristan.Claire appears from the side door, her steps quiet and quick. She gives me a small polite smile that do
Andrea’s POV“Welcome, Miss Vale. We’ve been expecting you.”The duplex penthouse at Tristan Hale’s estate is even more imposing than I imagined. The long drive out of the city had been two hours of nerves and anticipation, every mile counting down to this moment. I had tried to focus on anything other than my racing heartbeat, but it didn’t work. Nothing could distract me from the knowledge that I was walking into a life I wasn’t sure I was ready for.His housekeeper meets me at the entrance. She moves with sharp efficiency, and something in the way she carries herself suggests Tristan’s standards run deep.“I’m Claire,” she says with a small, polite smile. “I’ll be taking care of you while you’re here.” Without waiting for a response, she takes my box and instructs me to leave it with the maids downstairs. No arguments allowed.The elevator opens directly into the penthouse. I step out and pause, unsure whether to breathe or collapse. The space is enormous, grand, and extravagant in
Andrea's POVI get home that night, and the first thing I hear is my mother crying.It’s not the first time, and it probably won’t be the last, but it never gets easier standing outside the kitchen door listening so I linger for a moment before walking in. She wipes her face quickly and straightens up, pretending like I haven’t seen anything.“Mom,” I say. It’s the best I can manage after everything tonight. “I'm fine, Andrea.” She replies, not looking at me, shuffling the papers on the table.I sit across from her and pull the stack toward me before she can stop me. I already know what they are without reading a word. The red stamps at the top say it all. Three new invoices, all marked OVERDUE. The total on the last one is so bad I have to turn it face down because I can’t let her see my reaction.“When did these come?” I ask.“Today,” she says quietly. “The hospital called too. They said if we don’t make at least a partial payment by the end of the month, they’ll have to pause Etha
Andrea's POVThe whole room turns at once.Security stops moving, the host straightens, and every whispered conversation around me dies when everyone heard that voice.I turn slowly, and the first thing I notice is that he isn’t looking at the broken pieces on the floor, or the host, or any of the people staring… he’s looking directly at me. My throat tightens, and I look away quickly because there’s something in his gaze that feels like it can see straight through everything I spent months building.The host clears his throat and says, “Sir, this piece comes from a private European collection. It really isn’t something that can just be…”“I said add it to my account, Gerald.” The man doesn’t raise his voice or look away, and that’s exactly what makes Gerald stop mid-sentence and nod like a man who knows better than to argue.“Of course,” Gerald says tightly. And just like that, it’s over. Staff appear to clean the mess, the crowd drifts back to their drinks and chatter, and I’m lef
