LOGINEve
I’m still shaking, but the fury has gone ice cold. Dominik’s touch earlier wasn’t about pleasure. It was a vicious reminder that no matter how many shell companies I uncover, my body is the ultimate jurisdiction.
I stare at the data until the numbers start singing a hateful little song. He thinks he can use a cheap parlor trick to keep me contained. He thinks I’ll tire out and crawl to him for the sweet release of a good orgasm.
Not a chance in hell.
He has Enzo deliver dinner to my desk. Chilean sea bass, roasted vegetables, and a note that reads, ‘Eat it all. You need your strength to fight me.&r
DominikThe final sunset of our honeymoon paints the sky in violent strokes of orange, purple, and blood-red. It’s a suitably dramatic backdrop for the conclusion of this reprieve. Fourteen days spent isolated in this crucible of sun, sea, and sex, designed for the singular purpose of breaking her will and planting my seed.I watch Eve from the terrace as she stands at the water's edge, letting the gentle evening waves wash over her ankles. She’s wearing a whisper-thin black cover-up over one of the obscenely small bikinis I chose. The setting sun turns her silhouette into a dark, elegant flame against the fiery horizon.She’s different than the woman I brought here. The frantic, cornered energy is gone, replaced by a kind of wary stillness. The fire hasn’t been extinguished, and I wouldn’t want that, but it’s banked. Contained beneath a surface that has learned the futility of open rebellion. Her body is no longer a battleground, it’s fully occupied territory. She moves with a lan
EveThe waterfall cavern feels like a secret I carry under my skin. A temporary suspension of the rules, a moment where the lines blurred and the raw attraction between us eclipsed the power dynamic, if only for an hour. The hike back down was quieter, the sharp edges of our banter softened by a shared exhaustion and the lingering intimacy of the grotto. Dominik didn’t push me, didn't mock my slower pace. He simply walked beside me, his presence a solid, grounding weight.Back at the villa, the fragile truce holds. There’s a subtle shift in the atmosphere, a lessening of the constant, humming tension. He doesn’t crowd me. He doesn’t issue unnecessary commands. He reads reports by the pool while I lose myself in a novel, the silence comfortable rather than charged. It’s unsettling. This quiet détente is more disorienting than the open hostility. It allows space for thoughts I don’t want to have, for feelings that complicate the simple, clean lines of hatred I’ve tried so hard to mai
DominikThe fragile truce forged in the waterfall cavern lingers. An unfamiliar softness smoothing the jagged edges of our usual dynamic. Eve is more at peace, less overtly hostile. She meets my gaze more often, a flicker of something complex replacing the constant, simmering fury. Curiosity, confusion, maybe even a reluctant acknowledgment of the perfection of the raw lust we shared. It’s a subtle shift, but I register it. The temporary ceding of control, the focus on her pleasure, it achieved its purpose. It unbalanced her, introduced a new variable into her calculations. Predictability is a weakness I won’t tolerate, even in submission.This newfound quiet, however, is a thin veneer over the unchanging reality of my world. While Eve explores the villa’s extensive library or lies by the pool, lost in thought, my mind is half a world away, dissecting the implications of Armando’s move. Enzo’s initial response, the broken bones, the warehouse fire, was a necessary slap on the wris
EveI wake slowly, reluctantly, dragged from a dreamless void by the insistent warmth of the Caribbean sun streaming through the floor-to-ceiling glass. My body feels heavy, bruised in places I didn’t know could bruise, yet strangely… settled. Like a storm has passed, leaving behind a landscape permanently altered but, for the moment, quiet.Last night was… intense. Even by Dominik’s standards. His response to my questions about his past wasn’t just domineering, it was absolute. The memory sends an involuntary shiver down my spine, a confusing mix of fear and something dangerously close to exhilaration.I roll over carefully, expecting to find him gone, already immersed in whatever dark dealings occupy his early mornings. Instead, he’s sitting on the edge of the terrace just outside our room, bathed in the early light, staring out at the ocean. He’s dressed simply in linen trousers and a white shirt, sleeves rolled up his forearms. He holds a steaming mug, but his focus isn’t on th
Dominik"Did any of them make you feel… this?" Her question hangs in the warm, jasmine-scented air, a deliberate barb aimed straight at the core of my control. She stands before me, clad in barely-there lace, moonlight caressing her skin, questioning my history, demanding validation beyond the physical claim I've already made absolute.Part of me is furious. She dares to bring the outside world, the irrelevant ghosts of past encounters, into this sanctuary I've created? This bubble I created exists for one purpose. Her complete surrender and the conception of my heir. Her insecurities, her petty need for comparison, are distractions. Contaminants.But another part… another part feels a surge of dark, smug satisfaction. Jealousy. It's raw and unmistakable in her eyes, in the tight line of her mouth, in the way her body tenses despite her attempt at nonchalance. She wouldn't ask if she didn't care. She wouldn't care if she wasn't starting to see herself as mine, not just contractually
EveHis tenderness is a weapon I wasn't prepared for.The violence, the dominance, the rough claiming, I understand those. I hate them, my body craves them, but they fit the narrative. Dominik Grimaldi, the monster, taking what's his. But the sunscreen… that was different. The slow, careful glide of his hands, the unexpected gentleness in his touch, the way he soothed the soreness he inflicted… it throws my entire understanding of him off balance.I lie on the lounger long after he's gone inside, the coconut scent of the l
