LOGINEden's POVI left the library with Michael’s files burning a hole in my mind and found Daddy exactly where I expected him, walking the perimeter of the estate like he did every evening. The moment he saw me coming toward him, his expression shifted. He could always read me. One look at my face and he knew something was different tonight.He didn’t ask questions out on the grounds. He simply took my hand, led me inside, and brought me straight to his bedroom. The heavy door clicked shut behind us, sealing the rest of the world out.Daddy turned to face me, his strong hands gently cupping my face. “What happened, Prinzessin?”I leaned into his touch, letting his presence calm the storm in my mind. “Michael found more. A lot more. It’s about Greta… and someone named Marcus.”.“Talk to me, Prinzessin,” he said, his voice low as he backed me toward the bed.I shook my head. “Not yet. I need you first. I need Daddy.”His eyes darkened instantly. He understood. Sometimes words came later. Ri
Eden's POVMichael came to the library on a Friday afternoon with his laptop and the look he wore when he'd found more than he expected."Talk," I said.He sat, turned the screen toward me, and started from the beginning. "Marcus is based in Hamburg. Private security background, twelve years working intelligence for a European financial consortium I've been pulling apart layer by layer. He's careful, the kind of careful that tells me this isn't his first operation like this. But careful people still leave patterns, and I followed his long enough to build a picture.""Give me the picture.""Greta Voss has been working with Marcus for at least eighteen months. Before she ever came anywhere near this family. Before Elena died, before Voss died, before any of us knew her name." He pulled up a file, a clean grid of dates and transfers and locations that told the story more efficiently than words could. "She wasn't recruited by Elena's grief. She recruited herself. Went to Marcus with a pro
Eden's POVEven after he came, Daddy stayed inside me for a long moment, grinding slowly and making sure I felt every inch of him as the hot water continued to fall around us. He kissed my neck and shoulders possessively, his hands roaming over my body while we stayed locked together under the spray. Finally, he pulled out, turned off the water, and dried me off with a thick towel before carrying me back into the main bedroom.My body was still buzzing from the intense shower sex, my legs a little shaky. Daddy laid me down gently in the center of his enormous four-poster bed. The soft black and burgundy linens felt cool against my heated skin. He stepped back for a moment, admiring me with those dark, hungry eyes that always made me feel completely owned.“Arms above your head, Prinzessin,” he ordered, his voice low and commanding, the full Dom in him on display.I obeyed immediately, stretching my arms up toward the headboard. Daddy retrieved soft but sturdy black silk ropes from a d
Eden's POVDaddy didn’t say anything more after I started crying against his chest. He simply wrapped his strong arms around me tighter, then bent down and lifted me bridal style as if I weighed nothing. I wrapped my arms around his neck and buried my face in his shoulder, letting the tears fall quietly as he carried me out of the office. I had never been to his room before. We had always fucked in the open spaces of the house where the others could watch, or in his office like we just did. This felt different. Intimate in a new way.He carried me up the grand staircase and down the long hallway to the east wing of the mansion. The door to his room was heavy, dark wood carved with the Schmidt family crest. When he pushed it open, I lifted my head and looked around in awe.Daddy’s room was massive, befitting the head of the Schmidt family. The ceilings were high with intricate crown molding. An enormous four-poster bed dominated the center, draped in the finest black and deep burgundy
Eden's POVThe morning light filtered softly through the curtains as I slowly woke up in Luca’s bed. My body felt deliciously sore from the long night of intense sex. Luca was still sleeping peacefully beside me, his arm draped over my waist. For a brief moment, the warmth of his body almost made me forget the pain that had driven me to his room. Almost. But as soon as I opened my eyes fully, the memory of Felix returning smelling of Greta came flooding back. The hurt settled heavily in my chest again.I carefully slipped out of bed, not wanting to wake Luca. I needed a bath. I made my way to the bathroom, turned on the hot water, and sank into the large tub. The steam rose around me as I soaked, trying to wash away the lingering ache in my heart along with the evidence of last night’s activities. I scrubbed my skin thoroughly, letting the hot water soothe my muscles. By the time I dried off and dressed in a simple silk slip dress, I felt a little more composed, though the pain was st
Eden's POVAfter Daniel finally left my room, the heavy silence wrapped around me once again like a thick, suffocating blanket. His strong arms and comforting words had given me some temporary relief from the pain, but the moment the door closed behind him, the sharp sting from Felix’s betrayal came rushing back with full force.The memory of him walking into his room the next morning, reeking of sex and Greta’s distinct perfume, kept replaying endlessly in my head no matter how hard I tried to push it away. I didn’t want to think about it anymore. I didn’t want to feel the deep hurt, the burning anger, or the humiliating betrayal any longer. I simply wanted to forget everything, even if it was only for one single night.I wiped the remaining tears from my face, changed out of Felix’s shirt, and slipped on a simple black silk robe. Without allowing myself any more time to overthink the situation, my feet carried me down the hallway until I stopped right in front of Luca’s door. I rais
Daniel’s POVThe water of the pool was still vibrating with the aftershocks of her release, the turquoise surface shimmering under the midday sun. I watched the way Eden leaned against Silas, her body limp and pliant, her skin flushed a deep, beautiful rose. She looked like a masterpiece that had f
Eden’s POVThe master suite was quiet at 3:00 AM. I was awake between Daniel and Silas. I did not care about the time. I needed to know if I belonged to both of them. I turned to Daniel. He was on my left. I reached under the duvet and found his massive cock. It was already hard and heavy in my han
Daniel’s POVThe basement of my estate did not smell like the rest of the house. Upstairs, there was the scent of beeswax, old money, and Eden’s floral perfume. Down here, behind the soundproofed steel door, the air was cold, sterile, and smelled faintly of copper and industrial cleaner.It was a p
Daniel's POVI slept like a fucking baby. No nightmares, just black, heavy sleep that knocked me out cold the second my head hit the pillow.Which was ironic, considering the chaos that had detonated in my head the night before. And then I woke up to a hard dick, like I was some sort of teenager. I
