JUNO HAYES

I didn’t cry.

Not when I got home. Not when I locked the door. Not even when I looked in the mirror and saw the bruise blooming on my cheek like a secret I couldn’t hide.

I just… sat on the floor.

Cassie was out with friends. The house was quiet. Too quiet.

And my mind wouldn't stop replaying that moment—Rhett’s voice, his eyes, the way my body reacted.

Because the voice I heard in that lecture hall…

It wasn’t familiar.

It was too familiar.

But no. That was ridiculous.

Rhett Voss was my client. My student, technically. Younger. Brash. Not at all the man who—

I shook my head hard.

It had been months. I ended that part of my life. Closed the door. Locked it. I wasn’t going to let one deep voice undo everything I rebuilt.

Buzz.

My phone lit up beside me.

Unknown Number:

Room 806. Midnight. Kneel.

My stomach twisted.

My heart pounded.

I stared at the message, thumb frozen.

He hadn’t texted in months. After I cut contact, I figured it was over. Maybe it was. Maybe this wasn’t even him.

But it was the same room. Same tone. Same three words.

Kneel.

I set the phone down.

Don’t go.

That should’ve been the end of it. I should’ve blocked the number. I should’ve curled into bed and let the night pass.

Instead… I stood.

And walked to my closet.

The hood was still there. Buried in the back of a drawer I swore I’d never open again.

I ran my fingers over the soft fabric, breathing in deeply. It still smelled faintly of leather and something darker. Something that made my knees go weak.

No. Not now. Not with this bruise. Not with Drake’s voice still echoing in my head.

And yet… my body ached for it.

Not to control.

To let go.

Even just for one night.

My fingers brushed the lace lingerie still tucked inside the drawer, and before I could stop myself, I was packing it.

Not for him.

For me.

The Velvet Crown hadn’t changed.

Gold lighting. Velvet walls. A front desk clerk who didn’t ask questions.

Midnight came fast.

The elevator dinged. I stepped in.

My pulse roared in my ears.

I wasn’t here for answers. I wasn’t here to confirm anything.

I was here to breathe.

The eighth-floor doors opened.

I exhaled for the first time in hours.

Room 806 stood exactly as I remembered. I stepped in. The door closed behind me.

Silence.

The penthouse was warm, dimly lit, everything exactly as it had been months ago.

I stood in place, staring.

My chest rose and fell fast. I could barely catch my breath. Not from fear. Not even from the bruise on my skin.

Arousal.

Thick. Dangerous. Thrilling.

He would be here soon.

I reached into my bag. Changed quickly.

Lace. Hood. Skin exposed.

Heart racing.

I walked to the center of the room and knelt.

Back straight. Hands on thighs. Head bowed.

Waiting.

Every second stretched like a thread ready to snap.

The door behind me clicked.

Footsteps.

Measured. Calm

. Heavy.

A familiar presence swept in.

I didn’t turn.

I didn’t breathe.

Then…

His voice. Low. Dark. Close.

“Good girl.”

    RHETT VOSSImmediately the door closed shut behind Juno, I slowly turned to Natalie, pulling her hand away from mine with as much patience I could give. “Why are you here?”She pouted, tilting her head, that practiced model-girlfriend face sliding on. “Baby, you haven’t called me. Not once. What was I supposed to think? You disappear into rehab, no texts, no nothing. I thought maybe you forgot about me.”My jaw flexed, not from guilt, but from the sheer noise of it. She always spoke like she was on camera. Always performing. I let her talk, let her eyes dart to the door Juno had just slipped through. She caught herself staring and then forced a little laugh.“She’s… really pretty,” Natalie said, pretending it was casual, but her nails dug into my arm just enough to betray her. “That was your trainer, huh? What was her name again? Professor Hayes? I swear I’ve seen her at campus events.” Her smile tightened. “She’s your rehab specialist too? Multitasking, I guess.” She dragged her hand

  • The Hockey player's submissive professor    The Other Woman

    Emma stared at the pictures plastered across her wall. Every inch of the room was his Rhett frozen in time, caught in stolen frames: lacing his skates, laughing with teammates, sweat plastering his shirt to the hard lines of his chest. Not one corner of the wallpaper showed anymore; it was all Rhett. Only him.Candles burned low around the room, the air thick with melted wax and smoke. The floor was littered with scorched photos of women she had crossed out, their eyes slashed through with sharp red ink, black X’s carved across their faces. No one else belonged here. No one but Rhett.Her hand trembled as she pressed her knuckles to her lips, a feverish smile curving her face. “Baby, I’m back,” she whispered to the sea of images. Her chest rose and fell too fast, her eyes glazed, drinking in his picture like water.One shot drew her in — Rhett mid-game, his shirt soaked, his chest visible through the fabric, his jaw set hard in focus. She tore it from the wall with shaking fingers and

  • The Hockey player's submissive professor    Hungry Eyes

    “What have I done?” I muttered to myself, practically speed-walking down the hall toward the rink. My chest still heaved, and my brain wouldn’t shut up: You just had sex with Rhett in the lounge. You’re insane. Absolutely insane.I was so wrapped up in my own head that the tap on my shoulder made me yelp. I spun around, ready to swing, only to freeze when I saw Adrian.“Whoa, easy,” he said, both brows lifting. “It’s just me.” His gaze swept me up and down, concerned. “You okay? You look… flushed.”“I’m fine!” I blurted too quickly, way too high-pitched. My hand flailed in the air like it could wave away his suspicion. “Totally fine. Just… really hot.”Adrian blinked, then glanced around at the sheets of ice stretching across the rink. “Hot? Juno, it’s like… fifteen degrees in here.”“Sixteen,” I corrected without thinking, then immediately winced at myself. “I mean—I just run warm, you know?”He gave a slow nod, his lips twitching like he was fighting back a laugh. “Right. Warm. In a

  • The Hockey player's submissive professor    What Have I Done

    Juno gasped, the door press cold against her belly as Rhett drove into her again and again. Heat and pain tangled in a blur; each thrust hit so hard it felt like the world narrowed to the meeting of their bodies.“You keep making me lose my mind,” Rhett growled. His fingers constricted in her hair, hauling her head back so her throat opened to him. She clung to the wood for purchase, nails biting into the surface as his hips pistoned without mercy.Thwop. Thwop.Her sound split the small room, raw and desperate. Tears bled from the corners of her eyes — but they were half-pleasure, half-overwhelm. “Slow,” she tried to whisper, voice high and broken, and Rhett stalled for a breath, chest heaving. For a second his expression flickered — the line between fury and worship.Then he spoke low, in that dangerous hush that had always made her knees go weak. “You asked me to show you what happens when you tease the world and come back to me,” he rasped. “You wanted me feral. You wanted to be w

    Jake, skating past, leaned close enough for Rhett to hear. “Damn, man. Relax. You look like you’re about to snap his neck.”Rhett didn’t so much as blink.“I will,” he muttered. And then, with the same ruthless determination he took into that ring, he started striding across the ice straight Juno.Juno stiffened the moment she spotted Rhett cutting across the ice toward her. She bit down on her lip, realizing with a jolt that—just for a moment—she’d almost forgotten he was even there while talking to Adrian. She tried to summon a smile as he closed the distance, but the look on his face made her heart pound, and not from fear.He stopped close—too close. Close enough that she had to half-turn toward him, her breath catching as his presence swallowed the space between them. The chill of the rink was nothing compared to the heat radiating off his body, searing through the thin layers of her clothes.“What’s going on here,” Rhett muttered, smiling—though it wasn’t a smile at all, more li

  • The Hockey player's submissive professor    The Rival’s Touch

    JUNO HAYES“Rhett, look this way!” the photographer called, snapping his fingers as the camera shutter clicked in rapid bursts.Rhett adjusted his grip on the hockey stick, tilting his body just so, the bright arena lights bouncing off his helmet and pads. The whole setup screamed polished—logo placements on the boards, gleaming skates, perfect posture. This was an ad for a major sports brand, and everyone in the rink knew he was the centerpiece.He gave the camera what it wanted. Strong jaw. Cold, unbothered glare. Every inch of him carved into perfection.But then his eyes slid. Just slightly. Just enough.Toward me.Heat shot straight through me when his gaze snagged mine. His look wasn’t the detached, glossy veneer he gave the camera. No—it was darker. Hungrier. Thirstier than he had any right to look in the middle of a professional shoot.My face went hot instantly. I snapped my eyes away, staring far too hard at the clipboard in my hands, willing my skin not to betray me. Profes
