LOGINELARA
He carries me out the back exit like I weigh nothing. The night air slaps my bare legs; my panties are somewhere on the floor of the bar, probably being swept up by a janitor who’ll never know what went down there.
A black limo idles at the curb. Which I guess is his because the driver doesn’t blink when he deposits me in the back seat and slides in after me; instead, the partition rises with a soft hiss.
I curled against his chest, with his jacket still around me and my dress a crumpled mess. The city lights streak across the tinted windows like comets. His heartbeat is steady under my ear...too steady. While mine is beating like a hummingbird trapped in a cage.
“Are you comfortable?” he asks.
I nodded, too wired to say anything. He doesn’t say anything. Just watches me with that predator stillness.
The car glides forward. I shift, trying to get more comfortable, and my thigh brushes the hard tent still straining against his zipper. He hisses through his teeth.
“Stop moving.”
“I... or what?” I said clearly, Playing with fire.
His hand clamps over my mouth in a possessive way. “Be still, little girl. Or I’ll take you right here.”
The threat should terrify me. Instead, heat pools low in my belly again. I squirm, deliberately grinding against his palm. His eyes flash.
“Fuck it.”
He yanks the jacket away and shoves my dress up to my waist. His two fingers plunge into me without warning; my juice made it easier for his fingers to go in slick, easy, and deep inside me. I moan into his hand.
“Quiet,” he growls. “I only want to hear you moan for me; I'm not ready to share your delicate voice with others.”
I bite his palm to muffle the sounds. He curls his fingers, hitting my G point, only to stroke it mercilessly. My hips buckled, and the leather seat creaked beneath us.
“Look at you,” he murmurs against my temple. “Still greedy after I split you open.”
I come hard, clenching around his fingers, tears streaking my cheeks. He keeps going, drawing it out until I’m sobbing, oversensitive, begging in broken whispers.
Only then does he withdraw. He licks his fingers clean while I watch, dazed. “Better,” he says. “Now hold still.”
The limo stops. I looked up only to see a skyscraper I don’t recognize; it is all glass and steel and money. He scoops me up again, bridal style, which I notice he does flawlessly, and strides through a private lobby. The doorman averts his eyes. He uses the keycard to open a private elevator. The doors close, and we begin to ascend.
I started trembling again, maybe out of adrenaline and aftershocks; who knows? He sets me on my feet but keeps an arm around my waist. “Welcome to my penthouse,” he says to me. His voice is rougher now. “I am going to keep to my promises of giving you an escape, little girl.”
The elevator opens directly into his penthouse. His house is designed with floor-to-ceiling windows, with the city a carpet of stars below. Everything is black marble and chrome, cold and perfect. He doesn’t give me time to look.
He backs me against the nearest wall, hands already tearing at his shirt. Buttons scatter. His chest is a map of scars...knife wounds, burn marks, and a tattoo of a wolf mid-leap over his heart. I trace one scar with shaking fingers.
“Later,” he snaps. “You need to tame the beast you woke up in the vehicle; I can't wait.”
He lifts me, and I put my legs around his waist. He raises me a bit and aligns his cock to my entrance and enters me in one quick thrust, stretching me so far that I can feel him in my chest cavity. From this angle, it felt deeper and rawer. My back scrapes the wall with every slam of his hips as I scream in pleasure.
“Tell me,” he demands, teeth grazing my throat. “Tell me who you belong to.”
“You,” I gasp. “Only you.”
"Yes, only to me. Look at you, little greed, little thing. You take me so well; you were made for me, weren't you? Little girl. I have no patience to go slow now."
He hooks his fingers under my bra and pushes it up, releasing my tits from their confinement. He bent down and caught my right nipple in his mouth, sucking and tasting it. His ministration caused my pussy to drip wet and clench him more, which in turn made him more rabid because he began
He fucks me faster, like he’s trying to fuse us, skin, bone, and soul. Slamming into me back and forth until my second orgasm rips through me so violently I black out for a heartbeat. When I come to, he’s carrying me down a hallway, still hard inside me and moving.
He took us into a bedroom with a massive bed and black silk sheets. He throws me down and flips me onto my stomach while instructing me to raise my ass in the air. Listening to his commands, I do exactly as he asks. He strokes his penis and enters me from behind. The new angle makes me scream.
With one hand, He tangled my hair, and the other tweaked my nipples all at once; this sends a lot of my nerves into overdrive.
I can hear the wet sounds of our mating body echoing over the sounds of moans.
I can feel the orgasm coming, and this is greater than I have ever felt. Starting at my tailbone, it hit me like a shock wave; my body buckled, and I screamed out while driving my face into the bed. He groaned and shuddered while spilling his cum inside me.
After a few minutes I can feel his penis bulging and pulsing inside me, and that should have been the indication that he will be ruining me for life.
DAMIENI'm in the car with Hayes, Marcus Reid secured in the back seat, when Elara's text comes through."Elena's missing," I tell Hayes. "Change of plans. We need to find her before she gets too far.""Or before she does something desperate," Hayes adds grimly. "Cornered narcissists are dangerous."Marcus speaks up from the back seat. "She has a backup plan. She always does."I turn to look at him. "Explain.""When we first started working together, Elena told me she had contingencies for every scenario. If things went south, she had places to go, identities to use, with money stashed away." Marcus looks at us nervously. "She said she'd been planning her escape route since high school. Just in case.""Since high school?" That's fifteen years of preparation. "Where would she go?""I don't know the specifics. She kept that information compartmentalized, she said if I didn't know, I couldn't tell anyone even if I wanted to." Marcus shifts uncomfortably. "But she mentioned Canada once. S
ELARAThat evening, as we're doing final preparations to leave for the safe house, my mother calls me.I almost don't answer. But something makes me pick up."Mom.""Elara, sweetheart, we need to talk." She sounds tired and defeated. "About Elena.""There's nothing to talk about...""She's in trouble. Real trouble. The police called us today. Said they're preparing to arrest her for fraud and conspiracy." My mom's voice breaks. "They said she could go to prison for decades.""She committed crimes, Mom . Serious crimes. She should go to prison.""But she's your sister. Our daughter. We can't just abandon her.""She abandoned herself when she chose to destroy people for sport." I'm so tired of this conversation. "Mom, she orchestrated a murder plot. She hacked into federal databases. She framed Damien for securities fraud. These aren't mistakes. This is who she is.""She's sick, Elara. She needs help, not prison.""Then she should have gotten help before she committed felonies." My voic
DAMIENMarcus Reid sits across from me in the empty building, looking like a man who's just been handed a life preserver."Elena's calling me." He holds up his phone, showing the three missed calls. "She never calls three times in a row. She's freaking out.""Because she knows you've been compromised." I lean back against a concrete pillar. "The question is, what are you going to tell her when you call back?""What do you want me to tell her?""The truth. That you're scared. That the SEC is closing in and that you want out." I meet his eyes. "But not that you've met with me or that you're cooperating. You play it straight, like a nervous partner who's getting cold feet.""She'll know something's wrong.""Let her. Paranoid Elena makes mistakes. Comfortable Elena is dangerous." I check my watch. "Call her back. Put it on speaker. Let's hear what she says."Marcus dials with shaking hands. Elena answers on the first ring."Where the fuck have you been?" She didn't bother with greeting. T
DAMIENBy next morning, I recieve Hayes texts at 6 AM.Hayes: Marcus Reid has been acquired. He's at the foundation site. Though he is confused but he is cooperative. How do you want to handle this?Me: Give me thirty minutes. I'll meet you there.I slip out of bed without waking Elara, dress up quickly, and leave a note on the pillow: Meeting with Marcus. Back soon. Stay inside. -DThe foundation building looks skeletal in the early morning light, bare concrete and steel beams, frozen mid-construction.Marcus Reid is sitting on a plastic crate in the center of the empty first floor, flanked by two of Hayes's security team, looking so terrified."Mr. Reid." I approach him slowly, in a non-threatening manner. "Thank you for agreeing to meet.""I didn't agree to anything. Your people grabbed me off the street...""My people offered you a ride to discuss a business opportunity. You accepted." I sit on a crate across from him. "But you're right. This isn't voluntary. So let's be honest wi
ELARAI kiss him then, pouring all my gratitude, fear and desperate hope into it.Damien meets me with the same raw intensity that II felt his mouth is slow and deliberate, like he’s memorizing the shape of my mouth all over again. There is no rush or frantic act of tearing at our clothes. Just this deep, searching kiss that tastes like relief and everything we’ve been too afraid to say out loud until now.His hands slide under my shirt, as he glides his warm palms up my ribs, his thumbs brushes the undersides of my breasts. He breaks the kiss only long enough to pull the fabric over my head, then returns immediately, his lips trail down my jaw, throat, and the sensitive spot just below my ear that makes my breath hitch. I tilt my head back, offering more skin to him.He lays me down gently onto the rumpled sheets that still smell faintly of last night’s sweat and sex and he settles above me, he braced his weight on his forearms so he doesn’t crush me. His eyes never leave mine.“I lov
DAMIENWe spend the next two days in the penthouse, finalizing our travels.Movers come and go, packing our belongings into storage and the penthouse slowly empties. By the second evening, the space looks sterile, unlived-in.Like we were never here.Elara stands at the window, looking out at the city skyline one last time. "It feels strange. Leaving like this.""It's temporary." I come up behind her, wrap my arms around her waist. "Three months maximum. Then we come back and reclaim everything.""If the plan works.""It will work. Elena thinks she's won and that makes her careless." I rest my chin on her shoulder. "And while she's celebrating, we will be building a case that destroys her."My second phone that I had encrypted buzzes with message from Hayes.Hayes: There's a development sir. Marcus Reed made contact with Elena two hours ago. We have the footage and audio. You need to see this.I show Elara the message."Already?" She turns in my arms. "We've barely been dark for forty
ELARAThe safehouse is nothing like I expected.When Damien said "off-grid," I pictured a rustic cabin with questionable plumbing and wildlife on the porch. Instead, we pull up to what looks like a modern fortress disguised as a luxury mountain retreat; it's all steel, glass, and stone nestled into
DAMIENAn hour later, I'm in the boardroom with my executive team, but my mind is split between quarterly projections and the operation unfolding across the city.My phone vibrates silently. A text from Macklin: Target acquired. Visual confirmation. Standing by for orders.I tap out a response: Obs
DAMIEN I set my wine glass down with a soft clink on the coffee table. The sound is sharp in the quiet penthouse. Elara watches me, her eyes dark and intense, her wine glass still cradled in her hands like a shield. “You’re strong,” I repeat, “and you’re mine.” I cup her face in my hands, st
ELARAElena is being held in a private medical facility on the Upper East Side; it is not a hospital, but the kind of discreet place where wealthy people go when they need treatment they don't want publicized."Damien arranged it," Macklin explains as we ride the elevator to the third floor.
