The morning sun came through the thin white curtains and fell across the dark blue silk sheets. I slowly opened my eyes still tired from the deep sleep I had For a few seconds, I stayed still, trying to wake up properly. My body felt light and relaxed but I could still feel a warm ache between my thighs. I reached my arm out across the bed, expecting to feel Erica's warm skin next to me. But my hand only touched the cool empty sheets. I blinked my eyes open and turned my head. Erica was not in the bed. She was sitting at the dark wooden desk on the far side of the room, right in front of the big window that looked out over the city. She had already showered. Her hair was still wet with a few strands curling around her neck and small drops of water ran down to her collarbone. She had a thick white towel wrapped around her waist, tied low on her hips. Her whole chest was bare and completely open. Her breasts rested naturally in the soft morning light. Her nipples were a deep
A sleek black town car pulled up outside the high-rise in Soho. The driver stepped out and opened the door for me. I took a deep breath before stepping into the cool night air, my mind still crowded with everything that had happened. After such a long drive i was elated to get out of the car. Standing outside Erica's penthouse building, I looked up at the massive glass tower glowing against the dark sky. The last time I had been here, I was too panicked to notice anything. Now, taking it in properly, it felt intimidating and looked ridiculously expensive like so completely out of my league Even the lobby boasted polished marble floors, soft ambient light, and a quiet guard at the desk. I crossed the lobby to the private elevator. Taking in one deep breath I got in and rode the elevator up to the top floor, watching the floor numbers light up one by one. My mind kept drifting back to Maya—how effortlessly she assumed I was waiting for some man to save me, how natural it was fo
I left work as soon as I could that evening. I desperately needed a break. It had been less than a week, yet somehow my life already felt like a complete mess. Between Erica, Vanguard Media, the secrets I couldn’t stop thinking about and everything that had happened between us, my head was exhausted and I didn’t want to think about any of it. So I called Maya and asked her to meet me for dinner. Now, sitting across from my best friend in a quiet corner booth, I finally felt like I could breathe. The lounge felt like another world, million meters away from the glass walls and suffocating pressure of Vanguard Media. Tonight, I just wanted to forget everything. Maya took a slow long sip of her cocktail, studying my face with that suspicion look that made me uneasy. She was the one who had dragged me out to that penthouse party two weeks ago. She is my best friend, the only person who knew how hard I had worked to pull my life together. "Okay, spill” Maya said excitedly, setting
My hand shook so badly that it took me three tries to turn the heavy metal lock. The small click sounded like a gunshot in the quiet room. When I turned back around, Erica was already right behind me. She didn't give me time to think or spiral. Her hands slid around my waist, fingers digging firmly into my hips as she drew me tightly against her, wrapping me securely in her arms. "Erica—" Her mouth slammed onto mine the second I called her name cutting off any more words before they could leave my lips. This kiss wasn't like the teasing ones before. It was deep, wet, desperate and possessive. She kissed me like she was starving for the taste of me, her tongue pressing deep into my mouth until I couldn't breathe. A slow moan left my lips and instead of pushing her away, I tightened my arms around her neck, drawing her closer and refusing to let go I hated how fast my resistance crumbled. Just two minutes ago I was crying, terrified that my life was over. Now, with her hands gr
My hands were still trembling when I ran into the executive restroom after the meeting. I locked myself inside a stall and collapsed against the cold tile wall. My stomach was in tight knots, my body still hot and slimy between my thighsWhat is happening to me?I pressed my cold shaky palms against my face as tears of confusion leaked through my fingers. I was twenty-two and I was straight. I had spent my whole life expecting to marry a nice man, buy a suburban house and live a normal quiet life. Now in less than forty-eight hours, a woman had turned my entire world upside down.The worst part wasn't even Erica’s dominance. It was how completely my own body betrayed me by totally submitting to her. I hated that I hadn't pushed her hand away under that table. I hated that every time her raspy voice whispered in my ear, a desperate craving opened up inside me. I was terrified of her, yet I yearn her touch so badly and that made me feel sick with guilt.Then there was Marcus. Acting li
I stepped out of Erica’s office with my knees giving out. The silver bracelet felt impossibly heavy around my left wrist as I tried to pull down the sleeve of my button-down shirt to hide it but before I could, a cold shadow fell over my desk. Marcus was standing right there… He leaned against my workstation, pretending to read a memo held casually in his hand. But his arrogant eyes weren't looking at the paper, it was darted straight to the silver bracelet on my wrist, then toward the heavy mahogany doors of Erica’s private suite. A slow cruel grin spread across his face almost immediately "Nice bracelet, Tiana” Marcus sneered, stepping closer so his voice remained a low whisper. "It looks expensive like something the CEO would keep on her desk" I choked on my spit, fumbling for words "It’s... it’s just mine, Mr. Vance” "Of course it is” he chuckled softly with a fake reassuring smile. "Make sure you don't lose it again. It would be a real shame if the Board of Directors st
