Calla could feel Vanessa’s glare even after the car door had closed. It lingered in the air like the last flicker of a matchstick, trying, failing, to burn her.

Killian slid in beside her a moment later. He didn’t say a word. Just looked straight ahead as the car pulled off, his jaw set like granite.

Calla tilted her head slightly toward him. “That woman is obsessed with you.”

“She’s obsessed with control,” he replied, his voice clipped. “I just happen to be the part she never mastered.”

“And what about you?” she asked, watching him closely. “Is this… your idea of control?”

His eyes flicked to hers. “You think I brought you here to control you?”

“I think you brought me here to make a point.”

He didn’t confirm it. He didn’t have to.

Calla looked out the window, her reflection staring back at her in the darkened glass. The dress, the car, the man beside her—it all felt like someone else’s life. Someone who belonged.

But she didn’t feel like she belonged. Not yet.

    "I'm sorry ma'am," he said kissing her stomach. She reached out to touch his face, "You're forgiven," she whispered. "Now, get back down there and eat me out like the good boy you are."James didn't need to be told twice.As he moved back down between her legs, Selene let out a satisfied sigh. This was exactly what she needed after that disastrous night with Damien. A night of rough, no-strings-attached sex with someone who actually knew how to please her, at the same time she kept thinking of how to wrap Damien round her finger while she made her way to Killian's side, Calla can't be with Killian when she selene dreams of being right by his side dominating the world. * * * Killian sat at his office in La Fiamma, the familiar scent of leather and smoke swirling around him. He leaned back in his chair, staring blankly at the ceiling. His hand trembled slightly as he poured himself a glass of whiskey, the ice clinking against the glass. His cigarette burned slowly between his finge

    Damien slammed the door behind him, the sharp echo bouncing off the cold walls of his penthouse. His chest rose and fell with ragged breaths, blood dripping from his knuckles, the aftermath of what that bitch had done to him. Rage burned in his eyes as he staggered toward the kitchen counter, slamming the drawer open and yanking out the first aid kit. Selene wasn’t home. Of course she wasn’t. He remembered the look in her eyes before he slapped her. She must still be pissed. He muttered under his breath, his voice low and venomous. “She’ll get over it.” He tore open an alcohol swab, wincing as he dabbed it over the raw wound. The sting only made him angrier. His teeth clenched as images of the bar flashed through his mind, her, that woman, the smirk on her lips, the silence in her eyes. The way his hand moved to sign the papers no, forced to sign them. His pride shattered. “Calla,” he growled, the name tasting like poison. “You fucking witch.” Meanwhile… Selene leaned back again

    The soft morning light slipped through the blinds, painting golden streaks across the sheets. Killian stirred first. Calla was curled beside him, her hair a soft halo around her face, breathing slow and deep. He watched her for a second, brushing a thumb gently across her cheek before slipping out of bed.He returned from the bathroom, towel slung low on his hips, water still glistening off his chest and tattoos.Calla’s sleepy eyes cracked open, and then widened. Her gaze clung to the way the water trickled down his toned torso, resting far too long on the sharp lines and the ink that coiled across his skin.Killian smirked. “I'm guessing, no I'm hundred percent sure you're loving what you see. I know have sexy.”Calla’s face flushed instantly. “I’m don't, no you're aren't sexy, gosh it's too early..”“You were staring, kitten.”“I just woke up, my eyes were adjusting,” she mumbled, rolling over, clearly flustered.Killian chuckled and leaned down to press a kiss to her forehead,. “M

    Damien tried to keep his cool as he looked at the woman before him, dressed in a skintight red dress, blood-red lipstick matching the rage in her eyes. “Who sent you? Was it Calla? Or was this part of what she wanted Killian Black to do?” Damien asked, his voice trembling, trying to sound brave. Neva smiled slowly, almost sympathetically, as she leaned against his desk. “So many questions, Damien. But none of them matter. What matters… is this.” She said pointing at the divorce papers. Damien tried to buy time. Maybe if he moved just right, he could press the red button near his elbow, alert the guards, and end this madness. But before his hand got anywhere close, WHACK! “AH!” Damien groaned as Neva’s fist smashed into his nose. “Goddamnit!” he cursed. “What the fuck is wrong with you?!” “Last warning,” Neva said coldly. “Sign the papers.” pressing the knife harder to his balls. Damien froze. The sharp tip of the dagger pressed against his balls made his next breath catch in h

    Meanwhile…Neva stood in front of the mirror in a her room, her reflection a weapon in itself.The black dress she wore clung to her curves like it had been sewn onto her skin. Her lipstick was blood red, her heels sharp enough to stab. But the real threat wasn’t visible, it was tucked into the thigh holster under her dress. Cold. Metallic. Deadly.“Tonight’s the night,” she whispered, fixing her curls. “If he won’t sign the damn papers willingly, he’ll do it at knifepoint.”Her smile was cruel.She had tailed Damien all day. Watched him pace. Drink. Crumple the divorce papers. Uncrumple them. Contemplate them like they were laced with poison. He couldn’t sign. Couldn’t let go.Even after Calla publicly humiliated him… he was still clinging to the marriage.Weak. Men always needed a little push.And tonight? She would be that push.**The black luxury cab pulled up just outside the club’s velvet-roped entrance. Neva stepped out gracefully, her crimson lipstick immaculate, her dress h

    “Killian,” she moaned, her legs wrapping around his waist. “Oh, Killian…” “Again,” he demanded, his hand slipping between her thighs. “Killian!” she screamed as he entered her in one swift motion, her nails raking down his back. He pounded into her, hard and fast, his grip on her hips bruising. Calla clung to him, her cries of pleasure echoing off the walls of the shower as he took her with a fierce intensity. As he kissed her hard, his tongue dominating hers as he continued to thrust into her. Calla felt herself spiraling out of control, her orgasm building with each stroke. “Come for me, Calla,” Killian ordered, his fingers finding her clit. She screamed, her body convulsing as pleasure washed over her. Killian followed soon after, as he pulled out making sure he didn't let it get into her as he groaned her name. They stayed there for a moment, their bodies intertwined, their hearts racing. Then Killian slowly lowered her to the floor, his arms wrapping around her as he kisse
