last update Last Updated: 2025-12-14 01:46:15

Lauren stopped before the solid black wooden door with the same raised-relief symbol that sealed the invitation: the flame encircled by a ring. She took a deep breath, her fingers tightening around the small clutch she carried like a useless anchor for her nerves. It was dark outside, and the silence of the street made her heart beat even louder in her chest.

She had taken three days to open the envelope. Three days between desire and fear. And now she was there, wearing a tight wine-colored silk dress, her hair in a low bun, with light makeup—but her eyes… her eyes were ablaze.

The doorbell was a small, discreet silver button. When she pressed it, an almost electric sensation ran down her arm. As if that touch already marked the point of no return.

The door opened with a soft click.

On the other side, a tall, silent man greeted her with a nod. Not a word. Just a gesture indicating the interior.

Lauren entered.

The hallway was lit by amber lamps embedded in the sides. The dark wooden

    Jaston climbed the stairs behind her like a marked man. Each step was a warning of what was to come—and his body, far from hesitating, begged for more. Hellen walked ahead, hips swaying, naked, assured, as if she knew every inch of her was a sentence for him. An obscene promise.As soon as they entered the room, she closed the door slowly. The dry click of the latch seemed to seal something inside. He stood still, waiting."Lie on the bed. On your back," she ordered, without needing to raise her voice.Jaston obeyed. The sheets still carried the smell of the morning, of the second round. He lay down with his arms at his sides, his eyes fixed on her, his heart pounding.Hellen opened the nightstand drawer and took out the black leather handcuffs. His gaze ignited."You really brought them…""Of course. A prepared woman is a powerful woman."She climbed onto the bed slowly, straddling him, sitting on his abdomen. The cuffs dangled from her hands like promises of surrender."Arms above y

    The smell of freshly brewed coffee filled the apartment with promises of a fresh start—but for Hellen, that morning wasn't about beginnings. It was about continuation. About the lingering warmth between her thighs and a mouth still marked by Jaston’s kisses.She rose naked from the bed, her entire body still radiating sex. Her skin bore the traces of the night and the fierce second round. She felt deliciously used, as if every part of her had been explored and claimed. With tousled hair and bare feet, she walked toward the kitchen, where Jaston was fulfilling his promise.He was naked. His back to her, stirring something on the stove. The muscles in his back shifted with each movement of his arm. Hellen stopped in the doorway and simply watched, her gaze unashamedly trailing down to his firm backside. She bit her lip and said:"You cook naked often, or is it just my lucky day?"Jaston turned with a mug in his hands. The smile playing on his lips betrayed how much he was enjoying this

    The morning light filtered through the gaps in the curtains, golden, lazy. The room still reeked of sex—rumpled sheets, the smell of the previous night mingled with Jaston's woody cologne. Hellen's body ached deliciously: thighs throbbing, throat dry, skin sensitive. She woke with the feeling of being watched.And she was.Jaston was sitting on the edge of the bed, wearing only black boxer briefs, holding a coffee mug. His eyes were fixed on her as if he hadn't slept—or as if he was already ready to wake her in the most indecent way possible."Sleepyhead," he teased, his voice still hoarse.She stretched slowly, her bare breasts rising with the movement. "After last night, it's the least I deserve."He smiled. "And you're still going to blame me?"She turned on her side, looking at him over her shoulder. "Only if you don't get up here right now."The mug was set on the nightstand with a soft "clack." In a second, he was on top of her, his warm skin against hers, his hard cock rubbing

    The rain tapped lazily against the windows of Jaston's apartment, as if the world outside was trying to spy on what was about to happen inside.Hellen pressed the doorbell with fingers still damp, her skin gleaming under the tight fabric of the little black dress. The high heels accentuated every curve of her leg, and her loose hair, a little damp from the drizzle, fell to the middle of her back. She knew she looked delicious. And she knew that Jaston knew it too.The door opened with that slow, sensual creak that matched the night. And there he was: black button-down shirt open almost to his chest, dress pants, barefoot. The gaze... that gaze that undressed her right then and there, before a single word was spoken."Hellen," he said, as if savoring the name on his tongue."Jaston," she replied, entering, her hips swaying subtly with each step.He greeted her with a glass of red wine already poured. His fingers brushed lightly against hers as she took the glass—and the shiver came lik

    The silence that spread through the room was almost unbearable. I felt my chest rise and fall in short breaths, as if my whole body were a hostage to the memory of the kiss we had just shared. It was more than a simple touch of lips; it had been a dangerous invitation, a warning that there was no turning back.Adrian remained still before me, his eyes fixed on mine, as if he could pierce through every layer of my skin to reach what I was hiding. And yet, I couldn't move. It was as if my legs wouldn't respond, as if my mind had surrendered to his mere presence."You know you shouldn't be here," I murmured, my voice faltering.He smiled crookedly, a slow smile, laden with mischief, as if he were savoring my hesitation."I know." He took a step forward, so close I could almost feel the heat of his body. "But you also know you want me here."The confession pulsed within me, overwhelming, as if he had spoken aloud the secret I spent nights trying to deny. I averted my gaze, but he raised m

    The corridor seemed narrower than it really was. Gabriela walked hurriedly, clutching a stack of papers to her chest that barely made sense—it was just a disguise to keep her hands busy, so no one would notice the tremor that insisted on running through her fingers. Since the near-accident that almost gave them away, her heart hadn't returned to its normal rhythm.She tried to maintain her composure, but inside her a whirlwind grew. Guilt, fear, and something even more dangerous: her addiction to Adrian's presence. Every exchanged glance, every disguised touch, was like a drug.Gabriela knew that if anyone caught them, there would be no possible excuse. Lucas trusted her blindly, treated her as part of his life, his home, almost like family. And yet, she was losing herself in the arms of the man she should least desire.Fate, however, seemed to enjoy playing with them.Adrian appeared at the end of the corridor, leaning against the wall in a relaxed manner, but his eyes burned her.
