LOGINJune's pov
His hands were all over me and his kisses on my skin were burning with an intense passion. He pushed me hard against the wall while he ripped open my shirt, easily exposing my already hardened nipples that were begging to be touched.
“You like this, don't you?" Blake muttered under his breath, as he pinched my nipples with one hand, the other was already under my night gown.
My own body betrayed me, my hips were arching forward as a soft moan escaped my lips. I could feel his hard cock begging to enter me.
“Gosh, you're so hot” I whispered as I bit my lips.
He smiled and leaned in to kiss me when the sound of my phone shattered everything.
I woke up with a sharp breath hanging in my throat, his name on my lips.
I let out a loud sigh, staring at the ceiling as my heart refused to settle.
I dragged a hand over my face, “Oh, crap." I muttered under my breath. I could feel how wet I was from a dream where I fucked my boss.
My phone rang again as I reached for it half dazed.
“Hello?”
“Miss Harper,” a calm voice said on the other end. “I’m outside.”
I blinked.
“Outside?”
“Yes. Mr. Grayson sent me to pick you up.”
My stomach dropped.
Right.
Today.
I sat up too quickly, glancing around my apartment like I’d forgotten where I was.
“I’ll be down in ten,” I said quickly, already moving.
“You have five.”
The line went dead.
“Shit."
Everything after that blurred. I opened drawers, threw clothes into a bag. Essentials, if I could even call them that–stuffed together without order.
Not that I had much to pack.
Five minutes later, I was rushing out the door, hair barely in place, bag slung over my shoulder like I was running from something.
Maybe I was.
I sat in the back seat, my bag beside me, fingers lightly gripping the edge of my hoodie as the city slowly changed outside the window. Buildings grew taller and next thing I knew, I was in the rich part of the city.
The gates alone were enough to remind me I didn’t belong here. They opened before the car even came to a full stop.
Staring back at me in all its beauty, was a Mansion that spoke for itself. Literally.
“Miss Harper.”
I got out of the car to meet the maid who was dressed more expensive than I was.
“This way.”
I followed, because what else was I supposed to do?
The closet was already arranged. Bed untouched. Bathroom stocked.
Like I had always been expected.
“Mr. Grayson is currently occupied,” she added.
Of course he was.
“Will he be joining me before work?” I asked.
A brief pause.
“He will meet you when necessary.”
I nodded slowly. “Thank you.”
She left without another word.
I stood there for a moment longer than I should have.
Then exhaled.
Get it together, June.
It was a fucking dream come true…except the one where I fucked Mr Grayson.
I shook the thought out of my head and moved quickly after that, shower, change, a little makeup until I looked like someone who belonged in a place like this.
Or at least someone who could pretend. I had to get used to it.
By the time I stepped out again, everything felt… quieter.
I checked the time. We were running late.
A small frown pulled at my brows.
If this was supposed to be a performance, then timing mattered. Appearances mattered.
And Blake Grayson didn’t strike me as someone who tolerated delays.
So where the hell was he?
I stepped into the hallway, heels softer now against the polished floor as I moved carefully, trying not to look like I was wandering.
Even though I was.
“Mr. Grayson?” I asked one of the passing staff.
“He’s in a meeting,” came the response.
That didn’t sit right.
I kept walking.
One hallway turned into another, until I reached one door that wasn’t fully shut.
I hesitated, then pushed it open slightly.
“Mr. Grayson?” I called, just enough to be heard.
No response.
The faint, steady sound of a shower running came from inside the room.
I took a quick swallow and stepped inside.
The bed was huge, the room clean to perfection and everything in order… except for one detail.
A popular sex toy, very expensive and I knew because I tried purchasing one a while ago and it was far above my pay grade. I should have turned and walked away. This room was obviously not Blake's but I wondered if I could–
“Looking for someone?”
The voice came from behind me.
I froze mid-step and turned slowly.
Water still trailing down his skin down to his waist and stopped by the tip of his cock. He obviously didn't care that he was dripping water on the floor or the fact that his cock was staring at me with thick veins and a pink head.
“Uhm…I.” I whispered softly trying to take my eyes off it.
“You’re new,” he said.
I managed to meet his gaze and shifted finally realizing that I'd been holding my breath.
“I was looking for Mr. Grayson,” I replied, trying to keep my voice steady and my eyes up.
Couldn't he get a towel or something?
“And instead,” he continued, head tilting just slightly, “you found me.”
“Interesting,” he murmured.
“Sorry, I got the wrong room." I risked another quick glance before trying to scramble out of the room. But he blocked my path immediately.
His hand moved quickly to my waist pushing me closer to his damp body and his bulging groin.
He leaned closer to my neck, taking in my scent. When I met his gaze again, his eyes were a different color.
“Oh, you're…”
"Yes, I am.” His growl vibrating through my bones.
"I'm sorry, I'll get out of your hair."
“Not so fast."
His eyes darted behind me and I followed his gaze to the toy on the table.
“What were you about to do?"
“I… I didn't mean to…look I wasn't trying to take it… I just wanted to–”
"Try it right?”
"Uhm , no I just…”
"Don't lie… I can smell your fear and I can smell how wet you are.”
I parted my lips to say something but the words died in my throat.
“Turn around," he continued. “Take it, but you can't leave with it.”
"Huh” that was the only thing that could escape my throat.
"I said take it.”
I glanced at the table and thought of a way to run without him ripping me to pieces.
“Don't think about running human, you won't make it past the door and no one would listen to your screams.”
"look, I'm really sorry, I'll just leave and forget I saw anything.”
"It's too late for that, and I want to help you,”
“Take it, I want to watch you use it or I use it on you myself.”
June's pov"Take off your clothes."I nearly dropped the glass of water I was holding. I gasped, coughing slightly as a few drops spilled onto my shirt.The woman standing in the middle of my bedroom didn't even blink. She was impeccably dressed in a sharp grey pantsuit, her silver hair pulled back into a tight, flawless bun. Behind her, three younger assistants stood in a straight line, holding massive, heavy garment bags."Excuse me?" I asked, wiping my mouth with the back of my hand."Mr. Grayson paid forty thousand dollars for that dress," she said flatly, checking a sleek tablet in her hand. "And I need to make sure it fits perfectly. We have exactly four hours before the Gala. Strip, please."My jaw dropped. I had never experienced anything like this in my life. Before I could even protest, the woman waved her hand, and the assistants moved in like a well-trained military unit.For the next three hours, my bedroom was turned into a high-end luxury salon. I was poked, prodded, br
June's povI didn't sleep at all that night. Every time I closed my eyes, I kept seeing Blake’s dark, serious face or Nathan’s wicked smile. When the clock finally struck twelve, I was standing outside his heavy oak office door. I took a deep breath, knocked once, and pushed it open.Blake was sitting behind his massive desk. He looked immaculate, his black suit perfectly tailored, but there was a dangerous edge to his posture. He didn't look up immediately. He finished typing something on his laptop, closed it with a soft click, and then fixed his dark, intense gaze on me."Sit down, June," he said, his voice a low, commanding baritone.I walked over and sat in the leather chair across from him, crossing my legs tightly. I wanted to look brave, but my heart was hammering against my ribs. "Are you going to fire me?" I asked, getting straight to the point. "Or is this where you cancel the contract?"Blake leaned back in his chair, a cold, dark smile touching his lips. "Cancel the con
June's pov "Put that photograph down, June."Nathan’s voice didn't sound like him at all. It was too quiet. Instead of putting it down, I gripped the silver frame tighter. "You three looked really close," I whispered, looking from the bright, laughing faces in the picture to the dark, rigid expression on his face. "You, Blake, and Parker. What did you do to each other?"Nathan didn't answer with words. In two long strides, he crossed the floor of the loft. Before I could even blink, his large hand clamped over mine, his long fingers forcing my grip off the silver frame. He used his bulk to crowd me, pressing his chest right against mine until the small of my back hit the bookshelf. The heavy books rattled behind my head."I told you to put it down," he breathed, his face inches from mine.The air between us instantly turned hot. "You're hurting me," I lied, my voice dropping to a breathy whisper.Nathan’s eyes darkened, turning a shade of amber that made my knees weak. He didn't
June's pov"You have exactly five minutes to get dressed before I leave without you."I groaned loudly into my pillow, pulling the blanket over my head to block out the light. "Good. Leave.""You're coming with me," Nathan said, his voice dropping all its usual playfulness.I rolled over, my eyes squinting against the bright morning sun. Nathan was standing in my bedroom doorway again. "Why?" I asked, sitting up and pushing my hair out of my face.Nathan grinned, a wicked spark in his eyes. "Because my brother would absolutely hate it."That was honestly the strongest argument he had made all week.Forty minutes later, I found myself sitting in the passenger seat of Nathan's sleek black SUV while the busy city streets stretched out around us. Blake had already left the estate hours ago for his urgent board meeting. Nathan had apparently taken his brother’s absence as a personal invitation to take me out of the mansion."So, where exactly are we going?" I asked, looking out the window
June's povThe first person who knocked on my bedroom door the next morning wasn't Blake.It was Nathan, carrying a tray of pancakes and a whole lot of bad decisions.I cracked the door open and just stared at him through the narrow gap. He grinned back at me. "Good. You're awake." I looked down at the silver tray in his hands. He had piled it high with pancakes, fresh fruit, a steaming mug of coffee, and what appeared to be an entire, unopened bottle of maple syrup."Nathan," I said."June.""What exactly are you doing?""Being the favorite brother."I blinked, my hand still gripping the edge of the door. "You only have one brother.""Exactly. The competition isn't difficult."Before I could even think about stopping him, he used his shoulder to push past me, strolling right into my bedroom like he owned it."Hey!" I protested, turning around."Relax." He set the heavy tray down on a nearby side table and immediately made himself comfortable on the velvet couch, stretching his arms
June's pov The air in the room was so thick with heat I could barely breathe. Maybe it was because Blake was standing so close I could feel the warmth radiating off his skin.Or it was because of the last forty-eight hours—the lies, the brutal fight, and the terrifying photographs sitting on the mattress. Maybe it was because Blake had just admitted more in five seconds than he had in the entire time I’d known him.He wanted to break things at the mere thought of me leaving. I should have walked away. Instead, my stomach did a violent flip as his eyes dropped to my lips.Blake took a slow step forward, completely erasing the distance between us. He reached out, his large hand cupping the side of my neck. His thumb brushed right over the tender mark he had left there weeks ago, and a jolt of pure electricity shot straight down my spine."June," he murmured, his voice a low, rough growl."Blake," I whispered back, my hands instinctively reaching out to find purchase against his ches
