Calliope stared at her reflection, palms pressed to the cool glass of her bathroom mirror. Her heart pounded beneath the black silk blouse she’d chosen, one that draped gently over her still-flat stomach but made her feel beautiful, worthy. She hadn’t said the words aloud yet, not to anyone but herself, but tonight she would. She was going to tell him.

Tell Atlas she was pregnant. Tell him she loved him.

She dabbed on a final layer of lipstick, trying to slow her racing thoughts. This wasn’t just a conversation. This was a risk—a leap. But for the first time in weeks, she felt brave enough to take it.

“You’re doing this for them,” she whispered, placing a trembling hand over her abdomen. “And for you.”

She stepped out into the cool night, heart full of nerves and hope.

The elevator doors to Atlas’s penthouse glided open with a soft chime. She stepped inside, hands clenched tightly around her purse. She knew the passcode now, had been here before more times than she could count. But to

  • The Boss’s Darkest Demand   Game On

    The club was quiet now, the empty hallways echoing softly under the dimmed lights. The day shift was over, and I finally had a moment to breathe. I adjusted my mask in the reflection of the small mirror in my private office, making sure every strap lay perfectly, every line precise. Even now, when no one was watching, composure mattered. I couldn’t risk a single flaw that might give away who I truly was.The day had been long but uneventful. No patrons, no distractions, just the silent pulse of the club and the faint hum of the ventilation system. I moved through the space like a shadow, checking doors, double-checking the security measures I had helped set up years ago. Every camera, every sensor, every lock was a reminder that even in this world, control was everything.I allowed myself a slow exhale, a quiet moment of reflection. Atlas was somewhere out there, undoubtedly searching, undoubtedly curious. I could feel it in my bones, even without seeing him. The pull between us—the t

  • The Boss’s Darkest Demand   Velvet Restraint

    The room fell into a heavy silence the moment I finished speaking. My words hung between us, thick and tangible, weaving an invisible thread of tension that neither of us dared to break. The faint thrum of music from the main club seeped through the thick velvet curtains behind us, but inside this private room, the world was reduced to the heat of the air and the unspoken understanding between us.Atlas remained still for longer than I expected, the way his hand rested on the edge of the table, the faint rise and fall of his chest betraying a flicker of emotion he refused to show openly. I studied him from behind my mask, the dim amber lighting tracing the sharp planes of his jaw and the intensity in his eyes. He was trying to read me, to grasp at something he couldn’t quite place, but there was nothing for him to see beyond what I chose to reveal.“You’ve… thought about this,” he finally said, his voice low, deliberate, carrying a mix of disbelief and intrigue. “A

  • The Boss’s Darkest Demand   Questions

    The sunlight spilled through the blinds in soft golden stripes, stretching across the floors of the safehouse like warm ribbons. I stirred awake, feeling the weight of the night’s exhaustion in my bones. My body ached from the previous evening at the club, the adrenaline finally ebbing, leaving behind a lingering tension I couldn’t quite shake. For a moment, I allowed myself to linger in bed, listening to the house.Quiet. Dante must have already gotten up for his usual early breakfast routine. The twins, Dahlia and Delaney, were likely still tucked beneath their blankets, murmuring softly in the cocoon of sleep. A small smile tugged at my lips. These quiet mornings were fleeting, rare pockets of serenity in a life filled with shadows and vigilance. I had learned to savor them, to draw strength from the calm before the inevitable storm of responsibilities.Sliding out of bed, I moved silently down the hallway toward Dante’s room. The soft creak of the floorboards u

  • The Boss’s Darkest Demand   Shadows in the crowd

    The afternoon sunlight slanted through the blinds, painting the safehouse in muted golds and warm shadows. I sat at the small dining table, finishing the last sips of my coffee, my mind running through the schedule for the evening. Dante had already left for his after-school program, Dahlia and Delaney off with their piano lessons, and the house was quiet once again. It was a luxury I allowed myself rarely—silence—but it was never truly mine. Atlas was still out there somewhere, and I knew the threads of the past could snap back into my life without warning.I reviewed the plans for the night at the club, the routes I would take, the masks I would wear, and the contingencies Eli had suggested. Every detail mattered. I couldn’t afford the slightest misstep—not with Atlas, not with anyone who might recognize me or suspect who I was. My fingers traced the edges of the floor plan I had drawn for myself, noting every exit, every camera blind spot, and every potential threat.

  • The Boss’s Darkest Demand   Morning Light

    The sunlight had just begun to filter through the blinds when I woke, my body still sore from the previous night. The adrenaline from the encounter at the club had ebbed, leaving a lingering tension that my muscles refused to release. I took a deep breath, stretching my arms above my head and trying to shake off the last traces of fatigue. It was time to face the day. The triplets needed me, and no shadow from the past would keep me from them. I glanced toward their rooms, the familiar sounds of soft breathing reaching my ears. My heart swelled with love and protectiveness. Dante, the oldest, would be up soon, likely ready to argue about breakfast. Dahlia and Delaney, the twins, were still tangled in each other, murmuring softly in their sleep. My fingers tingled as I moved down the hallway to their rooms, placing a gentle hand on each of their doors before stepping inside. “Good morning, my loves,” I whispered, brushing back a lock of Dante’s hair as h

  • The Boss’s Darkest Demand   Boundaries

    The morning light was beginning to seep through the blinds, but I had just returned from the club, my heels echoing softly against the polished floors of our safehouse. My heart was still racing, the adrenaline from the encounter with Atlas refusing to leave my system. Even with everyone masked at the club, even with the darkness and the anonymity, I had recognized him immediately. There was no mistaking the way he moved, the confidence in his posture, the subtle menace in his tone. He had tried to engage me, had asked for a session, his voice low and controlled, but his intent had been clear. He had believed I was just another masked patron, yet there was a dangerous familiarity in the way he approached me. My refusal had set him off—anger had laced his words as he stated with certainty that I would come back. That single sentence kept replaying in my mind: You’ll come back soon. I set my bag down quietly, careful not to wake anyone. The house was stil
