“What He Does in the Dark”

Adrian.

Adrian

Adrian wasn’t used to feeling this way.

Restless. On edge. Like something small, like ants, was crawling under his skin.

He was in a room. The place looked like something out of a movie. A big, old warehouse somewhere in the outskirts of the city. There were no signs, no windows, just cracked concrete and rusted doors. Inside, the only light came from a single bulb swinging from the ceiling, flickering like it was about to go off at any moment.

The room smelled like sweat and kerosene. The room wasn’t cold, but it was the kind of place that made your skin crawl regardless of the weather. The city kept moving—cars honking, lights flashing. But down here, it was quiet. Too quiet.

In the center of the room, a man was on his knees. The man on the floor—his name was Myles Carrington, a reporter from one of those gossip blogs. His hands were tied behind his back. His lip was split. Blood dripping from his nose to his collar. One eye swollen. One eye

  • Under The Wolfe Name    Chapter 25: Dinner . Tonight. with someone important

    Adrian sat back down at the head of the glass table, his face unreadable as Julian’s voice carried on about profit margins and creative leverage. The room was alive with murmurs, pens scratching across notepads, executives nodding at the figures flashing across the screen.But Adrian wasn’t listening. Not really.His mind was still fixed on the phone call. His grandfather’s lawyer. The request. Dinner. Tonight.He kept his posture composed, hands resting on the table, but a thought pressed against the back of his head like an unfinished task. He would have to tell Elara. She’d need to be home on time. She’d need to know it wasn’t optional.Julian clicked to another slide, stealing a glance at Adrian’s face. “As you can see, gentlemen, the sponsorship isn’t just an investment—it’s branding. Visibility. Legacy.” His tone carried weight, each word sharp, deliberate.The board nodded, several murmurs of agreement circling again.Adrian leaned back slightly in his chair, his gaze lowering

  • Under The Wolfe Name    Chapter 24 : You are just a wife on paper...

    The steady click of heels reached him before she appeared, echoing faintly down the wide staircase. He didn’t lift his eyes right away…he never liked to give her that satisfaction but the sound drew him all the same. When she finally came into view, he allowed himself one glance, measured and sharp.Elara descended slowly, one hand grazing the railing. Her hair, loose today, caught the morning light in soft waves that framed her face. She wore a cream blouse tucked neatly into a high-waist short. Subtle makeup just enough to sharpen her eyes and color her lips…made her look almost untouchable, like she had dressed not for him, but in spite of him.She didn’t greet him when she reached the dining table. Not even a glance. Just lowered herself gracefully into the chair across from him, her silence as deliberate as the way she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.“You said you wanted to see me,” she said finally, her tone steady, clipped.Adrian’s eyes flicked up from his untouched b

  • Under The Wolfe Name    Chapter 23: This is so embarrassing

    Elara woke up with her stomach twisting. The moment she opened her eyes, She woke up with a smile on her face. She had dreamt about Lily .. In the dream they were sitting together, laughing the way they used to before everything in her life changed. She could still hear the sound of her friend's excitement, and for a moment, it had felt so real, like Lily was right there with her again.Her smile slowly faded when Adrian’s face suddenly came into her mind and her brow creased. Why did he always have a way of creeping into her mind, even when she didn’t invite him there?Heat rushed to her cheeks as flashes of the night before, came rushing back. His hand, his voice, the way she had looked at him—it was all too much. She pressed her palms to her face, wishing she could erase the memory, but it only made it worse.God, what was she thinking letting it get that far? Why didn’t she stop herself? She wasn’t supposed to be thinking about him like that, let alone letting him touch her. It w

  • Under The Wolfe Name    Chapter 22. Oh my God, you do like him...

    Elara was still sitting on her bed, hair slightly messy, her cheeks still warm from earlier. She hadn’t fully processed the way Adrian had looked at her before they pulled away from each other. Her heart was steadying, though every now and then, a memory of his touch would rush through her chest again.She was still simmering with anger—at him, yes, but more at herself. For letting his words crawl under her skin. For letting their argument replay in her head like a wound she couldn’t stop poking.A knock came at her door.She froze.Her first thought was him—again. Maybe he’d come back, maybe he wanted to continue what had almost happened between them. She pressed her palm over her chest to calm herself before standing up and crossing to the door. Finally, with a frustrated groan, she yanked the door open expecting to see Adrian, but instead there was a sleek little robot standing there. A small robot no taller than her knee blinked up at her, its metallic frame sleek and silver. It

  • Under The Wolfe Name    Chapter 21. No other Girl made me Cum...

    Elara lay there, chest rising and falling, her skin still humming with the heat of everything that had just happened. Adrian hadn’t moved away; his hand was still on her waistElara’s chest rose and fell in uneven waves, each breath mingling with Adrian’s, their foreheads almost touching. The fire that had consumed them still lingered in the air, heavy, restless.For the first time since their argument, they had been quiet.Adrian shifted onto his back, his breathing steadier now. He didn’t look at her right away, but she felt his presence so strongly it made her chest flutter.Elara tried to stand, but the moment her knee wobbled and gave in, she sat back down with a soft thud. A frustrated sigh escaped her, and when she finally looked up, she caught Adrian’s gaze locked on her.The air stilled between them. He wasn’t smirking, he wasn’t teasing—he was simply staring at her with an intensity that made her flush deeper. She fidgeted with her fingers, wishing her face wasn’t betraying

  • Under The Wolfe Name    Chapter 20. Steamy Night

    Elara paced her room, bare feet dragging against the carpet as her eyes kept darting back to her phone. The message stared back at her—still unanswered. Her chest tightened, fingers curling around the nightgown she wore. She pressed the phone to her palm again, rereading the words she had sent, half tempted to delete them, half burning with anger that he hadn’t bothered to reply. He has ignored her all day again. With a frustrated sigh,she flung the phone onto the bed.Then she heard it—the low, familiar sound of his black car pulling into the driveway. Her heart skipped, but she felt a rush of relief and frustration . She yanked on the jacket of her nightgown, tying the robe around her waist hastily before heading for the door.By the time she reached the stairs, she realized she was too late. He was already upstairs, in his room. His heavy footsteps fading down the corridor toward his room.Her jaw clenched. No. She wasn’t going to let him brush her off again.—The penthouse was q
