TRAPPED IN HIS WEBS Chapter 17
The Contract I stood in the center of the office, my fingers trembling as I reached for the first button of my shirt. The air in the room felt different now that Marcus was gone. It was heavy and thick with the scent of David’s skin and the lingering heat of what we had just done under the desk. David didn't move. He just sat back in his chair, his eyes tracking every movement of my hands.I pushed the fabric off my shoulders. It pooled on the floor at my feet. Then I reached for my belt. I felt exposed, standing there in the moonlight while a man like David watched me like I was a piece of art he was about to break. Once I was completely bare, I didn't try to hide. I stood tall, my heart hammering against my ribs."You’re beautiful, Leo," David said. His voice was a low rasp. "But you’re shaking.""I’m not scared," I lied. My voice cracked just enough to give me away."It’s okay to be a little scared," he said. He stood up and walked around the desk. He didn't touch me at first. He

The CommandThe subway ride felt like it took hours. I sat on the plastic seat, my leg bouncing up and down. Every time the train screeched to a halt, I checked my phone. No more messages. Just that one command. Come now.I didn't go through the main lobby this time. David had sent a follow-up text with a code for a side entrance, a service passage that smelled of concrete and cleaning supplies. It was a maze of grey hallways, far away from the marble and the security cameras. I followed his directions until I reached a small, unmarked elevator.I swiped the key card he had left for me in a hidden magnetic box behind a pipe. The doors slid shut, and the elevator began its long, silent climb to the top floor. My heart was thumping against my ribs so hard I thought I might pass out. I looked at my reflection in the polished metal. I looked a mess. My hair was windblown, and my eyes were wide with a mix of fear and hunger.The doors opened directly into his private office suite. The room

The Double DateThe fluorescent lights of the university lounge felt like they were drilling into my skull. I sat at a long table, my textbook open to a page I had been staring at for twenty minutes. The words were just black ink on white paper. They didn't mean anything. My mind was still back in that guest room, the smell of David’s soap still clinging to my skin even after two showers."You're doing it again," Chloe said. She dropped a heavy stack of flyers onto the table, making the wood rattle.I didn't look up. "Doing what?""Disappearing," she said, pulling out the chair across from me. She leaned in, her eyes scanning my face like she was looking for a crack in a wall. "You’ve been back for two days and you haven't said more than ten words to anyone. Maya is worried. She thinks you’re still sick, but I think you’re just hiding.""I'm not hiding, Chloe. I'm catching up on work," I said, finally looking at her. I tried to make my expression flat, bored. The mask was heavy today.

The Return The elevator ride down from the penthouse felt like dropping into a cold pool. I was wearing a clean suit David had sent over—one of his, tailored and expensive—and my own shoes, which he had dried and polished. I felt like a different person than the boy who had collapsed in the rain, but my hand still throbbed under the bandage.I stepped out into the lobby and caught my reflection in the glass. I looked expensive. I looked like I belonged. But as soon as I hit the sidewalk, the humidity and the noise of the city rushed back in, reminding me that I was just a student with a massive secret.I took the subway back to the university. Every person who looked at me made my skin crawl. I felt like "Traitor" was written across my forehead in neon lights.When I reached the student lounge, I saw them. Maya and Chloe were sitting at a circular table, surrounded by stacks of floral foam and color swatches. Maya looked tired but happy. Chloe looked like she was ready to bite someon

Close CallThe darkness of the closet was thick. I stood perfectly still, my back pressed against a row of David’s wool coats. I could smell the leather of his shoes and the faint, lingering scent of his cologne on every piece of clothing surrounding me.My heart was thumping so hard against my ribs that I was sure Maya could hear it through the wood of the door. I held my breath until my lungs started to burn."Dad? You’re still in bed?" Maya’s voice was closer now. I heard the muffled sound of her footsteps on the heavy rug."I’m just waking up, Maya. You’re here early," David said. His voice sounded remarkably calm, but I could hear the underlying tension—the way he clipped his words."I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about the hospital gala and the seating charts," she said. I heard the sound of a paper cup being set down on the nightstand. "I brought you a latte. Extra shot, just how you like it.""Thank you, sweetheart. You didn't have to do that."I shifted my weight slightly,

The Quiet BeforeThe screen of my phone was bright enough to make my eyes ache. I sat up against the pillows, the silk sheets sliding against my skin. There were so many notifications. My mom had sent five texts, each one getting more frantic. Maya had sent three. Even Chloe had messaged me twice, asking if I had finally drowned in the rain.I started typing. My fingers felt stiff and slow.To Mom: Sorry, I fell asleep early. My phone was on silent. I’m fine, just tired. See you soon.To Chloe: Didn’t drown. Just sleeping off the drama. Talk tomorrow.Then, I opened Maya’s thread. My heart did a strange little flip.To Maya: Hey, I’m okay. I’m just going to sleep for a long time. I love you.I stared at that last part. I love you. It felt like a heavy weight, a lie that was becoming harder to carry every time I typed it. I hit send before I could change my mind.I looked toward the chair by the window. David had left a pile of clothes there. I climbed out of bed, my legs feeling like

The Breaking PointDavid PovThe rain was coming down heavily, blurring the city lights. I couldn't sit in my office anymore. I couldn't sit in my living room. Every shadow looked like him. Every time the wind rattled the glass, I thought it was his knock. I was a grown man, a man people feared, an

The Cracking MaskThe lecture hall was packed, but I didn't hear a word the professor said. I sat in my usual seat, right in the middle where everyone could see the "perfect student" taking diligent notes. My laptop was open, and my fingers moved across the keys, but I wasn't typing about market tr

The Broken GlassDavid’s POvI couldn't focus on the paperwork in front of me. For three days, I had been looking over my shoulder. Every time a door opened in the office, I expected to see those hazel eyes. Every time my phone buzzed, my heart skipped a beat. I was the CEO of a multi-billion dolla

The FeverMy head felt very heavy. When I finally forced my eyes open, the light in the room was soft and golden. It wasn't the harsh buzzing light of my dorm, and it definitely wasn't the cold, blue streetlamps of the park.I blinked, trying to clear the blur. The ceiling was high. The sheets unde
