~Hermes~

I step inside, Jane hovering at my side, repeating for what felt like the hundredth time that she hadn’t informed my father about our sudden trip to Greece. I don’t answer. My eyes sweep over the villa—the one I promised June we’d see together back then. I thought maybe I’d find peace here. But I don’t even know why I came. Was it to look for her? Scoff. False confidence. If I truly wanted to find June, I would have gone to Las Vegas. That’s where she would be.

And yet… something in my chest keeps pulling me here, to this place.

“Don’t tell my father yet,” I murmur as I press the doorbell.

“Alright, Mr. Hermes,” Jane says, and before I can react, she steps closer. “Your hair—there’s something on it.”

She reaches up without hesitation, brushing it off. I murmur a quiet thank you, forcing myself not to see June in her. It’s a dangerous habit. A way my mind has been coping. I need therapy. I know that. But right now, it’s impossible.

Then my eyes move forward.

  • The Night Before I Knew Him   Bonus

    ~Hermes~A low growl rumbled in my throat. I knelt in front of her, hands immediately covering her breasts, palms warm against her soft skin. I rolled her nipples gently between my thumbs and forefingers, watching her breath hitch, her back arching to push them harder into my touch.“Like this, wife?” I murmured, voice rough. I tugged lightly, then twisted—just enough to make her gasp—before soothing the sting with slow circles. Her nipples darkened under my attention, swelling even more, so sensitive from the pregnancy that every pinch drew a soft whimper from her lips.“Harder,” she breathed, eyes fluttering shut. “Make them ache for you.”I pinched sharper, rolling the tight buds firmly, pulling them away from her body until she moaned, head falling back. Then I leaned in, tongue flicking one stiff peak before sucking it deep into my mouth—hot, wet suction, teeth grazing just enough to make her tremble.I switched to the other, lavishing the same attention, alternating between gent

  • The Night Before I Knew Him   Like this, Wife?

    JuneA low moan escaped my lips as Hermes knelt in front of me, his large hands covering my breasts, palms scorching hot against my sensitive skin. His thumbs and forefingers rolled my nipples with deliberate gentleness at first, sending sparks straight to my core. My breath caught, back arching instinctively, pushing myself harder into his touch, silently begging for more.“Like this, wife?” he murmured, voice gravel-rough, sending shivers down my spine. He tugged lightly, then twisted—sharp enough to make me gasp—before soothing the delicious sting with slow, maddening circles. Pregnancy had turned my nipples into live wires; every pinch, every roll made them swell darker, tighter, drawing helpless whimpers from deep in my throat.“Harder,” I breathed, eyes fluttering shut as heat pooled low in my belly. “Make them ache for you.”He didn’t hesitate. The pinches sharpened, rolling the tight buds firmly, pulling them outward until pleasure bordered on pain and I moaned, head falling b

  • The Night Before I Knew Him   I'm hungry

    ~Hermes~With a satisfied sigh, I scooped June up in my arms, her naked body light and warm against mine, the linen sheet draped loosely over us as I carried her from the beach. The sand crunched under my feet, giving way to the cool grass of the path leading to the villa—her villa, the one I'd eyed for months, dreaming of buying it to whisk her away here. But she'd beaten me to it, that bold, independent streak of hers shining through, and damn if it didn't make me respect her even more. She nestled her head against my chest, her short blonde hair tickling my skin, as we slipped through the doors into the bedroom.“I’m hungry,” she mumbled, her voice soft and sleepy as I laid her gently on the king-sized bed, the sheets rumpled from our earlier haste.“Wait right here, sweetheart,” I said, pressing a quick kiss to her forehead. “I’ll whip up something special.” I tugged on my pants, and headed downstairs to the kitchen, my mind racing with gratitude that we were here, together, afte

  • The Night Before I Knew Him   Be Mine

    JuneThe first thing I feel is the breeze.Soft, salty and cool against my skin, then the sound of the sea — slow, patient waves brushing against the shore like nothing in the world is in a hurry anymore.When I open my eyes, light spills across everything in gold and pale pink. The sun is just beginning to rise, low and gentle, not burning yet. It paints the water like melted glass.I’m lying on a beach bed beside my villa.For a second I panic — hospital, blood, fear — but then I turn my head.Hermes is there, sitting on the sand beside me, barefoot, one arm resting on the edge of the bed like he’s been guarding me all night. His hair is a little messy from the wind, his eyes fixed on the horizon, but the moment I move, he looks down at me.I’m not hooked to anything. No machines. No IVs. Just the ocean, the morning, and him.“How long have I been out?” I murmur, my voice rough from sleep.“Not long,” he says softly. “I just didn’t want to wake you.”I shift slightly, feeling the fa

    ~Hermes~I stepped out of the hospital, my chest tight with fury for my father. He caused this.My mind was still racing, and I called Jane to get updates but then I saw her coming out of a car, and behind her was him.My heart froze.How the hell did my father get here so fast? Vegas to Greece? Even by private jet, it would take at least thirteen, fourteen hours. Except…“Mr. Hermes… fortunately, your father was already here for a business trip, so…” Jane said, slightly out of breath as she stopped in front of me.I didn’t hear her. I didn’t care. My eyes locked on him. Lucien Grande, calm, unshakable, the same man I’d always hated for his control.How did I even trust him enough to think he would welcome June when I was unconscious. I couldn’t reconcile how he could be standing here, so composed, after everything. How he could move through the world like none of it mattered, while June—my June—almost died.“Hey, son,” he said, adjusting his sleeve, that stupid calm smile on his fa

  • The Night Before I Knew Him   Seeing his father

    ~Hermes~I snapped upright, my heart slamming against my ribs as I turned toward the doors.“Who’s her legal guardian?” he asks sharply.“I am—”“I am—”Kayla’s voice crashes into mine.We both stop.For a second the hallway goes dead quiet. Kayla turns to look at me, her eyes still swollen from crying. “He’s… he’s the baby’s father,” she tells the doctor stiffly. “But I’m her friend. Her roommate. I’m the one who’s been with her.”The doctor’s brows knit together, processing that fast. Then he exhales.“Fine. I need you both to listen carefully.”His face tightens as he flips through the chart.“She’s still losing blood,” he says. “We need to start a transfusion immediately.”“Then do it,” Kayla snaps.The doctor exhales, shaking his head. “The problem is that —her blood type is Rh‑null. Extremely rare. We don’t have any available in the bank right now.”My stomach drops. Rh‑null?Kayla’s eyes widen as she looks at me.The words don’t register at first.“What?” I say.“We’re checking
