Mag-log inKEAGAN'S POV~
"I missed you so much after our one-night stand. I missed you terribly. Did you miss me too?" She fluttered her eyelashes, which flustered me.
She bit her lip, her fingers suddenly moving to my belt, savagely tugging at the buckle to undo it. Her frenzied gaze never left mine, making my heart beat furiously against my ribcage. Fuck she was so fucking hot. I wanted to drag her to her knees and ram my cock into those full lips.
My head was spinning with lust, fueled by her seductive movements and the way she stared at me, but I knew this was all shades of wrong.
Fuck! I was married, and my mate was asleep and exhausted just right behind me, a few walls separating us. I forced a frown on my face before taking a step back, watching Emma’s mouth part in shock.
"Emma... You need to stop this right now. I'm a married—"
"It doesn't even matter!" she whisper-yelled, moving towards me. "I know how much you miss me. Just let me prove it to you and show it how it was between us.”
Warning bells began to ring in my head. This was bad... So, so bad but I couldn’t stop.
“Please,” she begged, her leg imploring me closer to her molten core, dress riding up her hip to expose one long, smooth leg to my hand. When her eyes found mine, they were misty and greedy. “I need to feel you inside of me. Don't deny me this.”
Oh shit! Her words were enough to drive a man to madness. This couldn’t be happening right now. Despite my mind saying no, my body was responding with frightening eagerness to her hunger. Her hand captured me between the legs, where she rubbed my firm length through my linen pants with a satisfied smirk. “Feel this? I did this to you. Let me give you mind-blowing sex ever.”
Grabbing her wrist, I roughly yanked it away from my throbbing cock with a glare. “Don't you fucking get it? Things have changed, and whatever that happened between us, it was an accident and besides, it happened way before my marriage!"
Her eyes still stared at me with challenge. And it was then I realized something. Emma was sexier and had that spirit to challenge, and that was a wild charm. Jessica was the opposite, dull, weak, and always exhausted. I couldn't stand her anymore but Emma on the other hand…fuck.
Sighing, I looked away and felt her walk closer. “ Just this once, baby. One more taste, Alpha Keagan and you will never regret this.”
With a nod, I knew my fate had been sealed.
Emma led me quietly out of the room, heading in the direction of the guest room. She quickly began to undress, my eyes trained on her. I felt my mouth drooling and at the same time, my hands began to slide over the buttons of my shirt.
“Turn around," I ordered. And she did as she was told.
“Bend over," I growled again, I wanted this to be done quickly. Emma walked to the mattress, bending over like I ordered.
“Such a good little slut. So fucking eager for my cock. Spread your legs.” I reached down for my cock, positioning it at her entrance.
“Fuck me harder… please.” She whined. I didn't even like that needy sound.
“You’re a dirty slut, aren’t you?” My hand slips beneath her head and I wove my fingers into her hair, yanking at it. It drew her head back to expose her throat to me, making her whine louder as her eyes rolled back.
My head bent to capture her moan in my mouth; devouring the sound and feeding it back to her as my hips and tongue turn sloppy and rough. I pounded into her, feeling Emma reach that point of no return.
“I—I—Oh. My. Fucking. Goodness,” Emma gasped, words punctuated by emotion. Her hands climbed up her body to her mouth, fingers catching between her teeth. Her breath began coming in pants so loud, I knew she was about to shatter.
And just as she tightened around me, I rolled her onto her back once more and pounded relentlessly inside of her, the cries of ecstasy exploding from her lips unchecked, and I swallowed them with my mouth.
It felt so good feeling Emma convulse and throb all over me, pulsing and shaking as I fucked her into oblivion. As her wild, keening moans escalated, I slip a hand over her mouth, sliding my fingers inside her mouth, where she licked and sucked them wildly. My hips bucked when she contracted around my turgid length.
I kept fucking her until she screamed, before I placed my hands over her mouth to muffle it, watching her come apart on my cock.
Immediately I had my release, fuck! I felt my senses return to my damn body. The room turned silent, all that was left was the harsh, rasping sound of our breath as we rode the high of our orgasms.
Guilt coursed through my veins like ice, chilling me to the bone. A heavy weight settled on my chest, making it difficult to breathe. My heart sank into the pit of my stomach, a queasy sensation taking hold.
An unrelenting tightness gripped my throat, and I found it challenging to swallow past the lump that had formed there.
Fuck!
What if Jessica sensed the betrayal through the mating bond? I couldn't face her.
Shit! I couldn’t even think about how her facial expressions were going to shatter with hurt.
Hanging my head, I squeezed my eyes shut, attempting to escape the accusing images that danced behind my eyelids. My face contorted with remorse, a deep line creasing my brow as my lips pressed into a thin, grim line.
With trembling hands, I raked my fingers through my hair, gripping it tightly as if I could somehow purge the guilt from my mind.
Fuck. Fuck. What the fuck did I just do?
Emma tried touching me, but I shot her a warning glare. Hissing under my breath, I moved away from her and sat up on the bed.
I was totally fucked.
Authors POVEmma sat across from Keagan, the live camera blinking red on the console behind him. Her mouth twisted into a smile, still wearing her perfectly contoured face like it could save her now. But the room was quiet—the kids were at Jessica's mother's house. Keagan had made sure of it."You can end this right now," Keagan said, his voice flat. "Or I can let her press charges for attempted murder, kidnapping, identity theft, child fraud—""Stop!" Emma snapped, her face cracking. She turned to Jessica like a demon cornered. "You wanted a confession? Fine. You want to know what I did? I killed her. I burned that house and walked away like she never existed. I forged those kids' birth certificates. I bribed the hospital staff. I made sure those twins would never know their real mother."Jessica stood frozen, lips parted. Her fists trembled at her sides.Emma kept going, her voice a rising screech. "And you know what, Keagan? You didn’t even notice! You were so obsessed with your st
Jessica — First PersonIt was less than twelve hours to the Cannes Awards.Not that I was counting.Okay, fine—we were all counting. Liam had a whiteboard. Wilhelmina drew a ticking time bomb beside the number 12. And every hour that passed, they’d update the board and go, “Operation Vindication in T-minus—”“Eleven hours, thirty-seven minutes, and seventeen seconds,” Liam muttered like a tiny NASA technician, fiddling with his high-tech device.“It’s not Operation Vindication,” I corrected gently, trying not to laugh as I applied mascara to my left eye. “It’s just a simple fact-finding mission.”“It’s revenge,” Wilhelmina said, unapologetically chewing on a stick of licorice like it was a cigar. “Like Batman. But with makeup.”I stared at my reflection.Sylvia Reynolds was gone tonight.The face I painted into the mirror was someone older, bolder—sharp cheekbones, new wig, slightly crooked red lips. I’d contoured the heart right out of my face.I looked like a woman who didn’t know h
Jessica — First PersonI heard it.I wasn’t trying to listen, but I heard it anyway. Their voices drifted through the hallway crack like a blade cutting too close to my skin.“Can’t we go and see her?” Liam’s voice, small, pleading.“She didn’t do anything wrong,” Wilhelmina added, quiet but firm.Silence.Then Keagan’s voice.Cold. Sharp. Unforgiving.“You will stay far away from her. Do you understand me? You don’t go near Sylvia again. I don’t care what she tells you, or how she looks. Stay. Away.”It felt like a slap. No, it felt worse.Because I didn’t even cry this time. I just stood there on the other side of the wall like a ghost, listening to a man I used to love tell my own children—our children—not to come near me. Like I was filth. Like I was the thing that needed to be avoided.But I didn’t let it break me.Not this time.Because I’d already decided something hours ago.I was done curling into corners and letting the world drag me like trash. I was done watching them rip
Emma – First PersonGod, it was finally happening.The way everyone looked at Jessica now? Disgust. Contempt. Suspicion.Exactly what she deserved.And I? I was the good one now. The one who cared. The one who stayed. The one who stood beside Keagan when everyone else was turning into monsters.I sat cross-legged on the living room rug, surrounded by the toys Jessica always bought but never played with. Liam was sitting nearby, curled into himself like a little sulking mushroom, silent and pale. That stupid mop of dark curls was covering half his face.I tried to coax him. Smiled. Held up a toy truck like it was a sacred offering. “Vroom, vroom,” I said gently. “Come on, sweetie. Don’t be sad.”He didn’t even blink.Spoiled little brat.My smile stretched wider. “You know you’re safe with me now, right? I’d never hurt you. I’m not like her.”Still nothing.Ungrateful little rodent.I reached for his arm to yank him up. I didn’t do it hard. Just firm enough. Just enough to shake him ou
Jessica – First PersonThe second he pulled her into his arms, I ran.I didn’t wait to see what came next. I didn’t want to.I shut my bedroom door so hard the frame rattled, then I collapsed like a pathetic little wreck against the cold floor. My nails dug into the marble as sobs tore out of me—ugly, choking, humiliating sobs that made my throat burn and my eyes swell until I couldn’t breathe.He hugged Emma.Not me.Her.My chest felt cracked open. My lungs refused to work. Every corner of this house felt like it hated me. My babies—Liam, Mina—they hated me too now, didn’t they?He told them.Of course he did.Keagan told them what I did. Poison. Lies. The kind of story you can’t untell, even if it isn’t true.I don’t remember when I passed out. All I know is the crying stopped only because my body gave up. I must’ve drifted off on the floor, still in yesterday’s clothes, eyes swollen, lips dry.And then—“Get up, you pathetic girl.”I snapped awake with a gasp, heart slamming. I sa
Keagan – First PersonI didn’t sleep.Not a second.I sat there all damn night, watching Mina’s little chest rise and fall, her hand wrapped around Liam’s like she knew he was scared too. She didn’t wake up. The doctors said she was fine, that she was resting, but every minute that passed without her eyes fluttering open carved a deeper hole in my chest.Liam had cried himself to sleep. Asked too many questions I wasn’t ready to answer.“Why did Mina fall, Daddy?”“Why was she bleeding?”“Why did she scream like that?”I lied at first. I said she ate something bad.But my son looked me in the eye like he knew I was bullshitting.So I told him the truth.Jessica poisoned her.It fucking shattered me to say it. Watching the belief in his mother flicker and die behind his little eyes. He shook his head at first. Told me it wasn’t true. Said Mommy would never hurt Mina. That Mommy loved them.But I gave him the full story. Everything. From the lunch to the symptoms to the timeline. And he
