June

"Haaa..."

I sigh wearily, dragging my palm down my face. A stubborn strand of hair falls into my vision, and I blow it away without much care, eyes fixed on the ceiling. I’m not counting the tiles this time — I usually do — because today my mind is elsewhere.

Which, of course, has been my default mood ever since I found out I slept with my boss, but today is different.

Because I’m no longer confused about what I feel for Mr. Grande anymore. I’m finally facing the truth.

Despite everything he’s done. Despite how arrogant and proud he is.

I actually wanted to hug him today.

That's after my conversation with Lia.

She had asked where I was, and I told her — the garden — adding that Mr. Grande had met me there, then stormed off in an unusual dramatic way. I’d been craving clarity, but Lia’s reaction wasn’t what I expected.

Her eyes flew wide. "You went to the forbidden garden?"

I frowned. "Why? Why shouldn’t I be there?"

"Duh," she rolled her eyes and flared her hands. "I just call it

  • The Night Before I Knew Him   Rain and Ares

    ~Hermes~I thought the worst thing I’d ever done to her was leave.I was wrong.I stand in front of June—my woman, my fiancée, the mother of my child—and for the first time in my life, I realize something that makes my chest ache worse than the bullet ever did.I didn’t just lie to her.I trained her to doubt her own reality.Every time she asked what was wrong and I said nothing.Every time she felt something was off and I kissed it away.Every time she loved me harder while I was quietly preparing to disappear.I taught her that her instincts were wrong.That her fear was imaginary.That the distance she felt between us wasn’t real.And now she stands here shaking, pregnant, wounded by my father—but part of that wound… started with me.I see it in her eyes.Not anger.Not hatred.Something far worse.A woman who doesn’t feel safe trusting what she feels.Because the man she loved once looked into her eyes and lied while he was dying.I swallow.I had told myself I was protecting he

  • The Night Before I Knew Him   Unresolved Conflict 2

    Song recommendation: Cardigan by Taylor SwiftJuneI grab his hand before he can take another step.“Don’t go, love. Don’t go to him.”Hermes freezes. I can feel his pulse through his skin—fast, scared, ready to explode.My fingers tremble around his sleeve.I tell myself it’s because of Lucien. Because of the way his voice still crawls under my skin.Because of the things he said.Because of the way he looked at me when I was begging him not to take Hermes from me.But that’s not the whole truth.My meeting with Lucien had gone well. I saw fear in his eyes when I told him I could take Hermes away from him. I felt powerful for the first time since everything shattered. I thought that would make me feel better.It didn’t.Something was still missing.And then I had walked back into the villa…and seen Hermes on the floor, pale, shaking, gasping like he was dying—My chest tightens.Flashes slam into me:Hermes bleeding.Hermes unconscious.Hermes on a hospital bed, machines screaming.

    JuneMy hand twitches across the mattress.It's empty.June isn’t there.My eyes snap open.She said she was going to pee. Why wasn't she back?Cold crawls up my spine.Did something happen to her. Did she collapse in the bathroom?I’m out of bed before I even think, heart hammering like it knows something I don’t.“June. June, June—” I knock once, then shove the bathroom door open.Nothing.“June.”The room is empty. Sink dry. No light. No sound.Fuck.Calm down. Just—calm down.I stagger back into the bedroom, grab my phone off the table. Maybe she stepped outside. Maybe she told me and I slept through it.Why did I sleep that deep?I drag my hands down my face. My chest feels too tight.I haven’t slept like that in months. Not since I lost her. Not since everything broke. And now that she’s here again—now that she’s finally mine—she’s gone.I call her.No connection.We’re supposed to get married today.The thought hits me like a blow.Did she run?Does she not want this?Was I too

  • The Night Before I Knew Him   You wouldn't dare

    JuneThe next day—after rounds and rounds of lovemaking that left my body soft and aching in the sweetest way—I lie on my back, staring at the ceiling while Hermes is curled against me, warm and heavy, like he belongs there.The room is dim, curtains still drawn, the early morning light barely slipping through. I run my fingers through his hair, slow and careful, counting in my head.Twenty-four… twenty-three… twenty-two… twenty-one… nineteen…“Ugh. Shifty bastard,” I breathe under my nose.Hermes shifts, his face pressing deeper into my shoulder. “Do you want something?” he mumbles, voice thick with sleep.“Don’t worry, love,” I whisper, still stroking his hair. “Sleep.”My lips press together.We promised we’d get married today.A promise born half out of love and half out of wrecked, breathless pleasure.But I’m not ready.Not yet.There is too much between us that hasn’t been said. Too much blood. Too much pain. Too much truth that’s been sitting in my chest, waiting to be acknowl

  • 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
