When I arrived at work I couldn’t help but admire my design. The paint should be dry by now. And they should be moving the furniture in the afternoon. But when I arrived at my desk my phone rang. A text message. “You have the day off today. Your project is already ahead of everyone else’s. I also suspect you are sore today after last night. So there will be a driver arriving in 10 minutes to take you to a spa to relax. I wish I could spend the day with you, but business waits on no one. I will be there to collect you after you appointment though. See you this afternoon ~A”.
Why does he know that my body is aching and is screaming in protest at every move I make? Is it because I painted yesterday? Probably so. I make my way down to the front doors and wait on the driver. He takes me to a high end spa. When I walk in they treat me like I’ve always been a member. They have a full day of treatments planned. I don’t know how this is going to go, but hey, it’s free right? When I was about to get a massage, the lady stated the oil is going to sting my shoulder for a little bit. I asked her if it was normal for the oil to do that. She said no, but when it comes to broken skin it can’t be helped. “Broken skin? What do you mean by broken skin?” I asked. As she was massaging me, she said “well miss Blackwood, you have a deep bite mark. Not enough to draw blood, but enough that your skin broke. But don’t worry. The oil will heal it up in no time”. It took me a good 10 minutes to fully understand what she was telling me. I had a bite mark, on my shoulder, and where I was bitten in my dream. It…it was a dream wasn’t it? Couldn’t possibly have happened right? But my denial faded as I settled into my body more. I could feel the difference from now compared to yesterday. I did, in fact, have sex with my boss. He had come into my apartment at night. He was in my bed. And he…he made love to me. Right? That’s what it was, wasn’t it? Although I don’t feel like I love him yet, and I doubt he loves me, but he did take care of me like a man is supposed to when a woman loses her virginity. And he’s taking care of me today. So it’s not like…like he is discarding me. Not like he’s using me. I…I hope. With those last thoughts, I decided to not worry about it. Just focus on relaxing my body and my mind. I tune out everything except my breathing and the feeling of the hands pressed into my skin. Today was going to be a long, peaceful day. And I damn sure needed it. It was 4pm and I was laying in the sauna with my eyes closed. The heat relaxing the pain deep within my core. They said not to drift off to sleep, but I couldn’t help it. I know I wasn’t out for very long when a pair of large hands touched my face. I jumped and sat straight up, bumping heads with that person. “Owe little one, I didn’t know you were so skittish and easily shareable. You weren’t like that last night. Are you okay?” He said as he looked into my eyes with worry. I looked down at my fingers and began pinching the inside of my thighs rather than make eye contact with this man before me. “I…I’m okay. The spa has helped me today. Although, I didn’t realize the dream I had last night was real until the masseuse said my bite mark would sting from the oil…” He looked at me with concern and had me turn to show him my back. “It’ll be alright. It will heal up in no time at all. A week max. Promise”. I looked deep into his eyes. “Atlas…I…did you know?”. He looked at me with a confused expression on his face. “Did I know what Allie?” “That I…that I was a virgin” I said. And he stood straight up then. Fists clenching at his sides. “No. I didn’t. But you are very small you know. So I…I wanted to take care of you. But I…I do apologize for taking that away from you” he said. I stood up and walked around him to face him. “You, you didn’t take that choice away from me. I gave it freely. I’ve been…I’ve been dreaming about you for a few days now. And I thought that it was one of those dreams. It was perfect”. He was still looking away at the wall of the sauna. “Look at me Atlas” I said as I touched his face. His eyes jolted to look at me as soon as my hand touched his cheek. “You gave me something I’ve been waiting for my whole life. And you don’t need to feel sorry for giving me that experience. Let me…let me do something for you. I want…” “You don’t know what your asking for Calliope” he said. Looking my into my eyes. “I may be inexperienced Atlas, but I know what I want” I said as I dropped my towel and started to remove his from his waist. I made one last look of determination before I looked down and took in his size. That…that monsterous thing was inside me last night? Damn. It wasn’t super thick, but it was long. And it was hard. Just for me. I looked back up at him as I dropped to my knees. I took both hands and gripped him, not too hard, but with a decent amount of pressure. He had closed his eyes as I began to work his member. Slow. Teasingly. And then I leaned forward and licked the soft head. It was like velvet. I tasted the precum on my tongue and wanted more. I opened my mouth after one last long lick up his entire length, wrapping my lips around the most delicate part of him. And I licked the slit. Swirling my tongue all around him. Getting ready for the moment that I knew would take things too far. I released my lips just enough, had my tongue pressing into him, and took him all in my mouth. Or at least as far as I could go, making sure that I swirled my tongue all around him in a circle to the best of my ability. A deep moan erupted from his chest. He placed his hands on my head, playing with my hair. He then looked at me with those piercing blue eyes of his. And I started bobbing my head, taking him, releasing him, and taking him again. I started sucking my cheeks together and releasing the pressure as I continued my motions. His hands started to grip the hair on my head. He was panting. Sweat rolling down his face, his abs, as he let me taste him. I started to feel him twitch. His breathing became rapid. “Little one, I’m close. Prepare yourself” he said. And then suddenly he slams himself deep into my throat, pinning my head there with his hands. I’m gagging at the sensation. His cum spilling deep into my throat. I can’t move. “Swallow my seed Calliope. Drink every last drop. My essence is a gift. And you’re the only one I’ve chosen to give this part of me to” he said as he grinded into my mouth. With tears brimming my eyes and rolling down my cheeks, I swallowed. Multiple times. Still pinning me to him, he released one hand from my head and wiped my tears. “You are beautiful Calliope. And you are mine. Do well to remember that” he said. And he let me go. I was so tired after that experience. I was still needing on the ground when I started to drift to sleep. I barely remember being swept up off my feet and carried out of the sauna.The ringing wouldn’t stop. Calliope groaned, pressing the heel of her hand against her temple. It wasn’t just her phone—it was her emails, her private messages, her socials. Every notification hit like a hammer, filling her apartment with relentless buzzing. For days, she had stayed tucked inside the cottage Eli had moved her into, quiet and invisible, but apparently invisibility wasn’t protection anymore. She grabbed her phone and thumbed the screen, already dreading what she might see. Breaking: Rumors of Jones & Vale Executive Scandal—Anonymous Source Claims Affair Her stomach sank as the headline scrolled across the news feed. There was a grainy picture beneath it—her own figure, pale and tired-looking, stepping out of the hospital doors. Eli’s shoulder was there too, broad and protective, but his face was blurred, turned just enough that the press couldn’t identify him. The caption was merciless: Who is the mystery man with Calliope Laurent? Sources close to the Jones family
Calliope sat in the quiet of her cottage office, the soft whir of her laptop fan the only sound. She had tried to drown herself in work, building spreadsheets, reviewing design proofs, anything that would tether her to normalcy. But the silence pressed heavy, demanding her attention, dragging her mind back to everything she was trying not to think about.She clicked on the muted television in the corner. It had become a bad habit—checking the morning news to make sure her name wasn’t being dragged through the mud again. Except this time, the anchor’s voice cut through her fragile hope.“In corporate news, Atlas Jones’s fiancée—or perhaps ex-fiancée, depending on what story you believe—was spotted at the hospital earlier this week with an unidentified man. Rumors swirl about a potential affair. Witnesses report the man stayed close to her side, even leaving with her later that evening. The photo we obtained seems to confirm this mystery companion…”Calliope
Calliope had hoped that working from her safe apartment would finally allow her a few days of calm. But calm was a fragile illusion, one shattered by the persistent storm that was Jessica.She sat at her desk, her laptop open, trying to focus on a report for work, when a sharp ping from her news alert made her stomach twist. Groaning softly, she clicked it, only to freeze.The headline was designed to grab attention: “Calliope Blackwood Spotted With Mystery Man at Hospital—Affair Rumors Fly.”Her heart raced. Her pulse spiked. She scrolled down, and her stomach sank. There it was—a photo from the hospital. Eli had been with her, but the angle of the shot conveniently left his face obscured. To the public, it looked like she was with someone else entirely, someone unknown.A low growl escaped her lips. Jessica had done this. No one else had access to her life at the hospital, no one else could have leaked that photo. She could practically hear Jess
Calliope woke to the sterile hum of the hospital room, the morning light filtering weakly through the blinds. Her body still ached from the collapse, her muscles stiff, her stomach tender. But for the first time since the last confrontation, she felt a faint glimmer of control returning. She was alive. The babies were safe. And she had Eli—her anchor in a world that had spun wildly out of control.Eli was already at the chair beside her bed, his laptop open and documents spread across a small side table. He glanced up as she stirred, offering a faint smile. “Morning. You slept a little better than last night. That’s progress.”Calliope forced a small smile in return, even as her hand instinctively rested over her stomach. “How long… how long was I out?” she croaked, voice weak.“Not too long,” Eli said, tilting his head. “You’ve been stable. Just enough to need observation. You pushed yourself too far with the stress. You can’t do that anymore.”S
The ambulance’s wail had barely faded into the night when Calliope’s consciousness began to return in fragments. The world was muted, gray around the edges, her body heavy, and every breath felt like she was pulling through thick water. Her last memory floated in the haze—the heated video call with Atlas, the sharp accusations, the sting of mistrust that had burned into her chest. And then, nothing.Her cheek pressed against the edge of her desk in the small cottage, the hard wood cold against her clammy skin. The dim glow of her laptop screen flickered faintly, Atlas’s face still frozen in the video call frame. She wasn’t awake to see him, but somewhere, his sharp blue eyes mirrored the panic that had driven him to relentless calls and inquiries.Eli’s boots thumped against the floor as he moved toward her. The faint sound of his voice came first, calm and firm, as he checked her pulse and lifted her gently into his arms. Her body sagged like a weight too heavy fo
The video call had ended hours ago, but Calliope sat at her desk, staring at the blank screen as if it still held Atlas’s image. His words replayed in her mind on a loop, every accusation, every sharp edge of doubt cutting deeper than the last. She pressed her trembling hands to her stomach, whispering under her breath as if the triplets could hear, “I’m fine. We’re fine.”But she wasn’t.The stress pressed down like a vice. Every muscle in her body ached from holding in tears, from holding herself upright in front of Atlas. She knew what Jessica was doing, how expertly the woman had woven her lies, but knowing didn’t soften the damage. Atlas believed her.Calliope rose from her chair, her movements slow and stiff, and walked into the kitchen. The cottage Eli had tucked her away in was small but cozy—soft cream walls, exposed beams, and wide windows overlooking the stretch of woods beyond. It should have felt like peace. It should have felt like safety.Instead, it f
