LOGINMy boyfriend didn’t just cheat. He did it with my twin sister. In my apartment. On our anniversary. And the worst part? They planned it. He dated me to destroy me. She gave him every secret I ever trusted her with. Just because she wants to ruin my future and my career. So I walked into a bar, ready to drink myself unconscious. But no one would serve me. Because of him. The hot, sexy stranger in the VIP lounge with cold eyes, a sharp voice, and a presence that made everyone move back without a word. In my delirious state, I confronted him. He didn’t care. Instead, he said: “If you want to forget everything, I’ll give you something worth remembering.” One night became two. Two became three. When I escaped his bed, I promised myself I would never see him again. But fate has a cruel sense of humor. On Monday, I was reported to the CEO’s office—my ex’s final attempt to destroy my job. I walked in trembling. And there he was.

I slammed the shot glass on the counter so hard that I'm sure a crack shot across the rim.
“Another,” I ordered.
My voice sounded so hoarse, scraped raw, and barely human.
The bartender...a wiry guy with a snake tattoo curling up his throat...shakes his head. “Sorry, sweetheart. Boss says you’re cut off.”
I laugh, a cracked sound. “Boss? What boss?” His eyes flicked behind me, like someone stood there holding a loaded gun to his spine
I followed his stare through the blur of neon lights and bodies, but I only saw a shadow move behind smoked glass. But I don’t care. I need another drink, or I’ll drown in my own heartbeat.
I shoved the empty glass forward.
He didn’t move. His Adam’s apple bobbed.
“I’m not drunk.”
God, I wish I were.
I might forget Lucas’s voice:
“Elara told me everything. Your secrets. Your insecurities. You were never the one I wanted. I just needed someone who would help me look serious in my workplace, and you were the easy one.”
My stomach twisted so violently I thought I’d be sick.
I slammed my palm on the counter.
The bartender lifted a shaking hand and pointed toward the VIP behind me.
“Orders from him.”
I turned towards the rooms once again to see who it was that kept denying me drinks.
I caught the eye of a man who didn’t pretend not to stare.
A chill wrapped around my spine.
No. Tonight was already hell... I wasn’t letting some arrogant rich asshole control me, either.
I grabbed my bag and stormed toward the private lounge, heels striking marble like gunfire. The guards stepped aside without objection or question.
Like they’d been waiting for me, but right now I don't care or want to reason why.
I shoved the curtain aside.
The room smelled like expensive whiskey and cologne. Low light flickered over the man sitting at the center, his sleeves rolled to the forearms, his wristwatch glinting, and his jaw sharp enough to cut glass.
He is not handsome. He is Devastating.
His eyes are what hit me hardest; they're cold, dark, and unreadable.
I slapped both hands on his table.
“Let me guess,” I snapped. “You own this bar, so you think you get to control what I drink?”
He lifted his gaze slowly. His voice was calm. Too calm for my liking.
“You’ve had enough.”
“I decide when I’ve had enough.”
His eyes lowered to my shaking hands. “Your body disagrees.”
My breath caught, part rage, part humiliation.
He leaned back, his voice cool as ice. “The man who decides everything in this building.”
It wasn’t a threat. It was a fact, and I can see it in his eyes.
Anger burned hotter than the alcohol ever could. I grabbed his untouched glass of whiskey and swallowed it in one vicious gulp. The burn scorched down my throat. I welcomed it.
His jaw tightened.
“You’re out of your depth, little girl.”
Little. Girl.
That snapped something inside me. 'Little Girl,' I hate this nickname; I can hear Lucas's taunting voice as he was riding my sister, "You greedy little girl, see how you are taking me in so well, unlike your bland sister that wants to keep herself till marriage.
I leaned forward, close enough to smell his cologne... his dark, expensive, dangerous cologne.
“Little girl? You want to control me?” I whispered. “Fine. Give me alcohol. Or give me something else instead.”
His eyes sharpened. “What exactly are you looking for?”
My heart was a live wire. My voice didn’t shake.
I stop between his knees. My cheap black cotton dress, the one Lucas said made me look “fuckable but forgettable,” rides up my thighs.
“To lose my virginity.”
Silence slammed between us, and the interest flared in his eyes.
Slow, predatory interest.
He stood, and I felt small for the first time tonight, not because I was weak, but because he was a storm wearing a suit.
He towered over me, breathing heat against my ear.
“If you’re lying,” he murmured, “I’ll punish the lie.”
A shiver shot down my spine.
His hand closed around my waist, firm, claiming. Suddenly, I can't feel the existence of the bar anymore. Not the music and certainly not the people. All I can feel is just his body and the weight of my rash decisions.
“Run now, little girl,” he whispered, voice dark and lethal. “If you stay, I’m not letting you go home tonight.”
I lean into his grip. “I stopped running the second I saw my life collapse in front of me.”
Hunger flares in his eyes. He backs me up until my spine meets the glass wall. His mouth finds my ear. “Then let’s ruin you properly.”
His mouth came crashing upon mine in a not-so-gentle kiss. It’s all teeth, tequila, and the taste of my own desperation. I bite his lip hard enough to draw blood; he growls and pins my wrists above my head with one hand. The other slides under my dress, calloused fingers tracing the lace edge of my panties.
“Virgin,” he says against my mouth. Not a question.
I nod, both ashamed and electrified.
He rips the lace away like it offends him. Cool air hits wet skin. I whimper. “Legs around me.”
I obey. He lifts me effortlessly, dress bunched at my waist, and carries me to the chaise. My back hits leather still warm from his body. He follows me down, knees forcing my thighs wider.
“Look at me,” he commands.
I do. His pupils are blown wide, with only a sliver of iris left. “This will hurt,” he warns. “And you’ll thank me for it.”
He frees himself with one hand. I can see his thick, heavy, and veiny pulsing penis along the underside. I should be terrified. Instead, I arch up, already wet and ready.
He presses in a slow and relentless inch. I feel him stretching me, and it burns white-hot. I choke on a scream. “Breathe,” he orders, thumb stroking my clit in lazy circles. “Relax and take what I give you.”
Another inch. My nails rake his shoulders through his shirt. “Please...”
“Please, what?”
“More.”
He surges forward, burying himself to the hilt. The pain is exquisite, behind my eyes. For one suspended second, the world is nothing but the place where we’re joined.
Then he moves.
Slow at first, letting me adjust, letting the hurt bloom into pleasure. My hips learn his rhythm without permission. The chaise creaks and wails. He angles deeper, hitting a spot that makes me see stars. My back bows. “That’s it,” he rasps. “Let me feel you cum.”
That did it. The orgasm crashes over me without warning, so violent and shredding, nothing like the fumbling fingers I’ve known. I screamed and put his mouth over mine, swallowing the sound, fucking me through it until I’m limp and trembling.
He flips me onto my stomach and yanks my hips up. The second thrust is brutal. I fist the leather, moaning into it. His hand tangles in my hair, arching my neck. “Say you’re mine.”
I’m too far gone to care. "Yours"
He spills inside me with a guttural sound, heat flooding deep. For a moment, we’re locked together—sweaty, breathless, and the sticky evidence of our wilderness.
He pulls out slowly, left only to come back with a warm cloth.... where did he get it? ...and he cleans me with clinical tenderness. The contrast makes me shiver.
I expect him to leave. Instead, he sits, pulls me into his lap, and wraps his suit jacket around my shoulders. “Wait a little,” he says. “We will soon get to my penthouse, where I will satisfy you more.”
DAMIENOn the second morning she wakes before me.I can hear her moving through the villa, then I hear the soft slide of the terrace doors, and then nothing but the sea. I lie there for a moment staring at the ceiling, my hand on the warm space where she was, and make a decision that I've technically already made but have been carrying around for three weeks like something fragile.I get up, and walk towards where she is.She's standing at the railing with coffee in her hands, her hair is loose, and she is also wearing one of my shirts with nothing else. The coast spread out below her in the early morning like a liquid gold, this looks something that shouldn't be real. She doesn't hear me come out. I watch her for a moment, enjoying the stillness that she gives off when she doesn't know she's being observed, when there's no crisis to manage or performance to give, it is like she's just herself inside her own skin.I've loved her longer than I've admitted it. Even to myself.I go bac
ELARAI wrap my legs around his waist and pull him deeper. He shifts us so I’m straddling him, while still joined. Bracing my hands on his strong thighs, I start to ride him slowly, in deep rocks that let me take every inch of him. Each time I sink down, he fills me to the root. I lean forward, pressing my breasts to his chest, and suckle his nipple again, licking and tugging him while I grind on his cock.Damien’s hands roams my body. He cups my breasts, kneading the soft weight, and teaseing my nipples with feather-light circles before drawing one into his mouth. He sucks deeply, flicking his tongue, and grazing his teeth on my nipples, switching from one to the other until I’m gasping and trembling.The pleasure builds up slowly, and inevitably. My walls flutter harder around him in rhythmic pulses milking his length with every glide. His fingers slip between us to find my clit, rubbing it in slow, firm circles that match the rhythm of my hips.When I come it’s quiet and devastatin
DAMIENI didn't tell her where we're going.She has asks twice in the car to the airport, but gets nothing both times, and eventually settles into her seat with an expression she wears when she's decided that demanding information is less interesting than waiting for it. Arms crossed, with one brow slightly elevated and the ghost of a smile she won't give me yet.I've learned to read her the way you learn a city...not from a map but from walking it until the streets make sense in your body.Hayes loads the bags and I hand her a glass of wine the moment we board and she looks at me."Are you bribing me?""I'm softening you.""For what?""The flight time."She takes the wine. "How long?""Long enough to finish that."She looks out the window at the tarmac sliding past and I watch her let it go....the question, the control, the constant low-level vigilance she's carried for months. By the time we're airborne she's asleep with her head against my shoulder, her wine half finished, and sho
ELARAI recieved my mother's calls on Thursday evening, two hours after their therapy appointment.I'm at my desk working on the foundation proposal when the phone rings and I look at her name on the screen and let it ring twice before I answer. Not out of cruelty, just because I need the two seconds to decide who I'm going to be in this conversation."Mom.""Hi, sweetheart." Her voice is different. "We went to the therapist today.""How was it?"She pause. "Hard. It was hard." She exhales slowly. "She asked us to talk about patterns. In our family. How we responded to conflict, who we protected and who we expected to manage." There is another pause, longer. "Your name came up a great deal."I don't say anything."I want to see you," Mom says. "In person. Your father too. We're not asking for anything ...we're not asking you to forgive us or pretend or go back to the way things were. We just want to see you." Her voice tightens slightly, still she sounds like she controlled her emotio
