LOGIN5 - I Hate Liars
Aiden
I was expecting to see Ivy sleeping between my pillows and blankets, her pouty lips parted, looking like a sweet angel.
What I was not expecting was her soft voice, whispering my name over and over again with a gasp between them. As soon as I walked upstairs, ready to wake her up after my early workout in the gym, I heard her moans.
Her sinful whimpers drew me closer to the unlocked door, my eyes squeezing shut.
“Aiden,” I heard her breathy voice. “Please…”
My skin tightened, and blood rushed down to my crotch. I clenched my jaw, controlling myself with pure will when my dick pressed against the boxers, urging me to use my hand. Or barge inside and order her to beg more. Hear her little whines of desperation. Tell me what she wanted.
My naughty little Petal.
I heard the wet sounds of her cunt, soaked with her arousal. My breathing turned harsh, and I wanted nothing more than to wrap my hand around her throat and use my hands on her. Plunge my fingers inside her dripping sex, choking her until she begged me to come.
But I wouldn’t allow her to come until she begged prettily, used her pouty lips on me. Fuck. What I wouldn’t do to feel her warm mouth around me, her blue eyes tearing up when I feed her my cock.
“Please fuck me.”
I exhaled sharply, hearing her muffled moans. I knew she came, climaxed in my bed with her fingers covered in her cum, trying so badly to stifle her whimpers. I counted to ten, controlling my breathing and forcing my boner down.
If I acted on my urges, I would take her pretty ass over my lap, spank her and have her throat fucked before she would beg me to fuck her. I wouldn’t be gentle, I would be rough. I didn’t want that for Ivy. If it had been someone else moaning my name, I would have fucked them by now and told them to leave. But I couldn’t do that to Ivy.
Never with my Petal. She deserved more.
I would need a lot of hours to worship her body, memorize the curves of her skin on my tongue and lips before edging and denying her orgasms. Until she was nothing but a desperate, wet, needy Petal. Then I would slide inside her, holding her neck to see her eyes pinned on me, reminding her I was making her feel all the pain and pleasure.
Hearing the soft rustling sound of my bedsheets, I straightened up. A moment later, the door opened.
I gazed at the wide blue eyes of Ivy. Wearing nothing but a long tee shirt that reached her thighs. I wanted to turn her around and pin her to the wall. Yank that tee shirt over her ass and give it a good spanking before checking how wet she was from her orgasm.
Would she enjoy my hands on her body? Manhandling her, holding her, ordering her to stay still? Would that make her pretty pussy wet?
“Aiden…”
“Little Petal,” I drawled, my eyes dipping to her chest. Her nipples pebbled underneath my scorching stare. Naughty mixen. I raised my eyes and asked, innocence lacing my voice, “Did you just wake up?”
Her cheeks flushed, and she tried to cover her breasts with her hair, crossing her arms. “I did,” she lied, faking a yawn. “I might sleep in today before our session.”
I let her walk past me, the scent of feminine arousal and the musky scent of sex clinging to her. I let her because I didn’t trust myself to be gentle with her when she had just lied to me.
“Ivy.”
She stopped, turning towards me with wide eyes, knowing I rarely called her by her first name. “One thing you should remember is that I hate liars.”
Her body shuddered, her eyes tracking over my clothes, my skin, covered in a thin sheet of sweat from strength training.
She licked her lips. “You do?”
“Yes. I prefer bitter truth than sweet lies, Ivy. Even if the truth seems daunting.”
She knew that I knew.
“What do you do when you catch a liar?” She asked, her eyes dancing with curiosity. It was no doubt that she found it thrilling. Wanting to know what I would do next.
“I make them confess the truth.” Leaning closer to her face, I whispered in her ear, “And if a liar is as pretty as you, I punish them.”
I pulled away, watching her breasts heave, a red flush creeping up her neck. “P-punish them?”
I hummed.
“How?”
Smiling darkly, I tapped her nose. “Let’s hope you won’t have to find that out, Petal.” I turned, walking into my room. Pausing, I said, “Don’t be late like yesterday. I don’t like tardiness.”
Before I could close the door, Ivy said, “Or what? You’ll punish me too?”
I gazed at her through my lashes, her curvy frame and the teasing smile on her lips. She didn’t know how dark my desires went, how she fueled them since the day I had the urge to protect her.
Keep her safe and ruin her for me.
“I will if I have to, little Petal.”

“And this is the third guest room,” the pretty redhead waved her arm around the empty room as I glanced around the walls. I walked past her, towards the window that was directly against the house across from the one I was standing in. And a kid, no—a girl was playing with her gaming controller as a man joined her in the living room, ruffling her hair and picking up another controller.
I clenched my jaw and glared at the redhead, my real estate agent. Her eyes turned wide, seeing my face, and she looked away.
“You didn’t tell me this house had neighbors.”
“W-well, Mister Aiden, this is the only house that fits all your needs from two garages to more rooms and security. I’m sure you can overlook neighbors living in such a cozy home. And those are the Millers, I can introduce to them when we—”
“No need.” I left the room. I wasn’t here to make neighbors, just to see another house from the few that had disappointed me. Miss Poppy, the real estate agent, was right. The house suited me perfectly, with tall ceilings, beige walls, a fireplace, and more rooms than I’d ever need.
It would have been perfect for a family if—
I wasn’t going there. Addison had shown her true colors, and that was it. I was moving on. I had already moved from Denver and the house could be another step.
“Do you want to check the pool?”
“No, thank you.” I tilted my head and said, “Where can I sign the papers?”
Forty-five minutes later, I walked out of the agency building with a set of keys in my pocket and a bottle of Champagne gifted from a very flushed Poppy. I hope her boss paid her well. She was sweet and professional.
Checking my watch, I sat in the driver’s seat in my car. Thirty minutes to start my session with Ivy. She didn’t know I was looking at houses. I could take her to dinner—no, that’s too romantic. I could order Chinese takeout to celebrate and we could watch another movie together.
Derek“Yes, Paige. I’m so sorry for canceling it—I know I promised you but this case was… I couldn’t risk it.”I felt like a dick, an asshole, a prick.Everything I promised her I would never be.The silence in the office was maddening, but I was deep in a complex corporate acquisition brief, and for the first time in years, I hated being a lawyer.Because I missed my wife.Paige’s voice was soothing as she replied, “Derek, it’s okay. I know how busy it can get. Get home when you can. I’ll save you leftovers.”I glanced at the clock on my monitor. It was eight-fifteen on a Friday night. My stomach twisted with guilt. I should have been home two hours ago, enjoying a quiet, candlelit dinner with my wife.Instead, I was alone, exhausted, and working in an empty office.“I promise I’ll make it up to you,” I said, meaning ev
PaigeI either looked different or the mirror was defective.Because I barely recognized myself looking this happy and so beautiful. The makeup artist had outdone herself, sharpening my features and making my hazel eyes pop.Derek had recovered in a few days after the kidnapping, and thankfully, Lily was okay as well. As soon as he was back on his feet, he wanted to get married soon. And since Jack was rotting in prison, I had agreed.The wedding dress hugged my curves and hid the small baby bump as ivory silk draped around me, whispering softly each time I moved.“Cold feet yet?” Summer asked from behind me, adjusting the delicate veil that cascaded down my back.Her reflection had a mischievous smile in the mirror.“No,” I laughed, shaking my head. “Not even a little.”“Are you sure? Because I’ve got the car running outside if you want to make a break f
DerekThe rope burned against my wrists as I worked them back and forth, feeling the fibers give way and the rope loosen.I thought he was lying about hurting Lily. Despite his rocky relationship with Paige, he had never done anything to harm her. Even when he snatched her, he took her blanket and favorite elephant soft-toy with her.That’s not something someone would do to hurt a kid.Jack paced in front of me, his movements erratic, while Cillian’s voice crackled through the tiny earpiece lodged in my ear.“Keep him talking,” Cillian murmured. “We’re checking every room upstairs.”I swallowed hard, tasting blood where he had punched me. “Jack, listen to me—”“Shut up!” He turned around, his eyes wild. “Just shut the fuck up, Derek.”My fingers found the loosened knot.Almost there. Just a little more.Th
Paige“Drink some water.”Derek’s voice cut through my panic. His suit jacket was draped over my shoulders and it felt warm with his scent. But I didn’t deserve it when my daughter was out there somewhere, scared and alone.I took the water bottle from him with trembling hands. My eyes were swollen from crying and every blink hurt, every breath hurt.Everything hurt.It had been an hour since Jack had broken into our penthouse, fought Sarah and Richard and taken my baby girl with a gun.Sarah had a scratch across her cheek where Jack had shoved her aside. Richard had fallen trying to stop him, hit his head on the coffee table, which resulted in a minor concussion. But he had really tried.We watched the security cameras. Jack had stormed in with wild eyes and that gun and took Lily away. The baby monitor had captured her cries that would haunt me forever as he had snatched her from her
DerekI was pacing around the penthouse because my father was going to arrive soon. To meet Paige and my soon-to-be daughter, Lily.He had been married four times and divorced three times. He was someone I vowed never to be growing up, because he taught me everything about what not to do in a relationship.“Derek,” Paige said with a hand on my arm that stopped my pacing. “It might go well. You don’t know until you give him a chance.”“He has never been good at chances,” I said, remembering all the time I accepted his lunch or dinner invitation, thinking he was finally ready to have a talk with me as my father, only to meet his new wife.But I let her pull me close anyway and found myself being comforted in her warmth.“Then maybe it’s time he learns,” she whispered, kissing my cheek. “For Lily, for the baby and maybe even for you.”The doorbell ra
DerekPaige said yes because it ‘made sense.’Those words had been circling my brain for weeks now, even though I was over the moon about her agreement.Maybe I was moving too fast. We went from fake dating to fake engagement to actual dating the moment her divorce was finalized, and barely months later, we were preparing for marriage.Am I rushing her? Pushing her into something she isn’t ready for?But she was carrying my baby. Our baby. And I wanted—no, I needed—to make it official.I stared at my laptop screen with Lily sitting perched on my lap, her tiny hands grabbing at my keyboard, babbling nonsense that I found infinitely more interesting than my work.Working from home was supposed to be productive. Instead, I spent the last hour browsing forums about being a new dad while Lily occasionally ‘helped’ by smashing the space bar.
