MasukElena’s POV
Damien’s hand covered my mouth quickly. His eyes warned me to stay silent. My heart raced as the woman’s voice came again from behind the door. “Damien? I know you’re in there. The Velvet Board needs you downstairs now,” she called. She sounded impatient. He leaned close to my ear. “Not a sound,” he whispered. His cock was still hard against my thigh. “This doesn’t concern you yet.” I nodded under his palm. My body still buzzed from the orgasm he had given me. Cum leaked from my pussy onto the sheets. Damien got up from the bed without rushing. He pulled on a robe and walked to the door. He opened it just enough to block her view of me. “What do you want, Victoria?” he asked in a cold tone. “I told you I was busy tonight.” The woman laughed softly. “Busy with another new toy? The others are waiting. Rules are rules, Damien. You can’t ignore the Board completely.” “Give me ten minutes,” he replied firmly. “I’ll join you soon. Now leave.” The door closed with a sharp click. Damien turned back to me. His eyes looked hungry again. He dropped the robe and stood naked, his thick cock pointing straight at me. “Come here, Elena,” he ordered. “On your knees. We don’t have much time.” I crawled to the edge of the bed fast. “Who was that woman?” I asked while looking up at him. “And what is the Velvet Board?” He grabbed my hair gently but firmly. “Questions later. Right now, suck Daddy’s cock clean. Taste both of us on it.” I opened my mouth wide. He pushed inside slowly at first. The taste of his cum and my juices filled my tongue. “Mmm,” I moaned around him. It felt dirty and exciting. “That’s it,” Damien groaned. “Use your tongue. Good girl. Suck harder.” I bobbed my head faster. My hands held his strong thighs. He hit the back of my throat and I gagged a little. Tears formed in my eyes but I kept going. “Fuck, your mouth feels perfect,” he said. He thrust deeper. “You’re learning so quickly. Most girls choke and cry. But you take it like you were made for this.” I pulled back for air. “I want to please you, Daddy,” I said breathlessly. “Am I doing it right?” “Very right,” he answered. He pulled me up suddenly and threw me onto my back. “But I need to fuck you again before I go. Spread those legs wide.” I opened my thighs fast. My pussy was still wet and sore from before. He climbed on top and slammed inside me in one hard thrust. I cried out loud. “Too deep!” I gasped. “You’re so big, Daddy.” He covered my mouth again. “Quiet. We don’t want Victoria hearing you moan like a little slut.” His hips moved fast and rough. Each thrust shook the bed. “Take this dick. Milk it with your tight cunt.” I wrapped my legs around him. Pleasure mixed with pain in the best way. “Harder, Daddy,” I begged between his fingers. “Fill me up again. I need your cum.” Damien pounded me faster. Sweat dripped from his chest onto my breasts. “You love this, don’t you? Getting fucked by a man old enough to be your father while strangers wait outside.” “Yes,” I moaned when he moved his hand. “I love it. Don’t stop. Please, Daddy!” He flipped me over onto all fours. His hand slapped my ass hard as he entered me from behind. The sting made me wetter. “Push back on my cock,” he commanded. “Show me how bad you want it.” I rocked back against him. Our bodies slapped together loudly. “I’m close again,” I whimpered. “Can I cum, Daddy? Please let me.” “Cum with me,” he growled. His fingers reached around and rubbed my clit fast. “Now.” My body exploded. I shook hard and bit the pillow to stay quiet. Damien thrust deep one last time and released inside me. Hot thick cum flooded my pussy. He groaned loudly as he emptied every drop. We stayed like that for a moment. His cock twitched inside me. “Good girl,” he said softly. He pulled out slowly. Cum dripped down my thighs. “You took everything I gave you.” I collapsed onto the bed, breathing hard. My body felt used and satisfied. “That was amazing,” I whispered. “Will you stay with me tonight?” Damien kissed my shoulder gently. “Not tonight. I have to handle business. Sleep now. Tomorrow we continue your training in the studio.” He dressed quickly and looked at me one more time. “Leave the door unlocked again. And Elena… whatever you heard about the Velvet Board, forget it for now.” Before I could ask more questions, he left the room. The door clicked shut. I lay there in the dark, sore between my legs and full of his cum. The storm outside had calmed. My mind raced with thoughts about the mysterious woman and the Velvet Board. Just as my eyes started to close, my phone lit up on the bedside table. A new message from an unknown number. “Welcome to the game, little artist. The Velvet Board is watching you now.” My blood ran cold. Who sent this? And how did they know about tonight? I stared at the screen, heart pounding again as another message appeared. “Be ready. Your next lesson starts soon.”Sorenna’s POVThe messages kept coming. My phone vibrated again and again in my hand. I stood on the steps of Mara’s building with Kael beside me and watched the group chat fill with laughing emojis and sharp comments.Kael read the screen over my shoulder. His voice stayed quiet. “He took that picture without asking.”“Yes.”“Do you want me to say something in the chat?”“No. That will only make it worse.” I locked the phone and pushed it into my pocket. “I need to go inside and talk to Mara first.”Kael nodded. “I will wait out here if you want. Or I can leave. Your choice.”I looked at him under the porch light. The anger from the photo still sat in my chest, but it was not aimed at him. “Wait. Please.”He stepped back onto the sidewalk and leaned against the low wall. I went inside.Mara met me in the hallway. Her face told me she had already seen everything. “I tried to shut it down. Jett is being an idiot.”“He has been an idiot for months.” I walked past her into the living roo
Sorenna’s POVJett’s car idled at the curb. He kept his arm on the open window and stared at Kael like he owned the whole block.Kael did not move closer to me or step back. He simply looked at Jett and spoke in a calm voice. “I did not see any signs that said she was off limits.”Jett’s mouth tightened. “Everyone in the group knows. She says no for a reason. You do not get to show up and act special.”I stepped forward so I stood between them. “Stop talking about me like I am not here. I decide who walks with me. Not you. Not the group.”Jett’s eyes shifted to my face. “I am looking out for you. This guy is new. Cassian said he is only around for a while. Do not let him waste your time.”Kael’s voice stayed even. “She can decide that for herself.”The air felt thick. A car passed on the main road and the sound faded fast. I kept my arms at my sides and spoke clearly. “Go home, Jett. This is not your business.”He stared at me for another long second. Then he looked at Kael one more t
Sorenna’s POVI stood in the kitchen of Mara’s apartment with a half empty cup of soda and watched another guy from the group try his luck. His name was Jett. He leaned against the counter too close and smiled like he already knew the answer.“Come on, Sorenna. One date. Just dinner. I will not even try to hold your hand if you do not want.”I kept my voice even. “No, Jett. Same answer as last month.”He laughed like it was a joke. “You say that to everyone. One day someone is going to change your mind.”I turned away and rinsed my cup. Behind me the others talked and laughed. The group had been the same for two years. Mara, Tamsin, the guys who floated in and out, and me. Pretty much every guy in the circle had asked me out at some point. I said no each time. Not because I hated them. I just never felt the spark that made the risk worth it.Mara appeared at my side and bumped my shoulder. “You are going to run out of polite ways to turn them down.”“I still have a few left.”She grin
Mira’s POVMorning light slipped through the wide windows and landed across the bed. I woke to the steady sound of Rhys breathing beside me. His arm rested heavy over my waist. For a few quiet seconds I let myself stay still and feel the warmth of him.Then the memory of the last message returned. Watch the morning news. Your restaurant will not survive what comes next.I reached for my phone on the nightstand. Rhys stirred as soon as I moved. His eyes opened. He did not ask what I was doing. He simply sat up with me and waited while I unlocked the screen.No new messages. I opened a local news site and scrolled. Nothing about the restaurant. Nothing about me. Relief loosened the tight place in my chest, but only a little.Rhys took the phone from my hand and set it aside. “We handle this today. Together.”“How?”“I already sent a message to my lawyer last night after you fell asleep. Ethan made a threat. That photo was taken without consent on private property. We have ground to stan
Mira’s POVRhys pulled the car to the side of the road under a broken streetlight. The engine kept running. Soft heat came from the vents. I still held the phone like it might burn my hand.“Show me,” he said.I turned the screen toward him. The photo was clear. My open shirt. His hand on my waist. The kitchen light behind us. The message underneath left no room for doubt.Rhys read it once. His fingers tightened on the steering wheel until the leather creaked. “Ethan.”“It has to be.” My voice sounded thin. “He was right there. He must have taken it before I closed the door all the way.”Rhys stared at the photo for another long second. Then he looked at me. “He wants you to leave me.”“Yes.”“Are you going to?”The question hung between us. I shook my head. “No. But if that picture goes public the restaurant will suffer. Reviews. Customers. Everything I built.”Rhys reached over and took the phone from my hand. He locked the screen and set it in the cup holder. “Then we deal with it
Mira’s POVThe pounding on the front door kept going. Each hit made the glass rattle. I sat frozen on the prep counter with my shirt half open and Rhys still standing between my knees. His hands rested on my bare waist. Heat from his palms soaked into my skin.“Mira, open the damn door,” the voice called again. “I can see the light in the kitchen.”Rhys’s jaw flexed. He did not step back. “That is him.”“Yes.” My fingers shook as I started buttoning my shirt. The fabric felt too thin all of a sudden. “Ethan.”Rhys helped me with the last two buttons, his knuckles brushing my collarbone. The touch was careful but it still sent a shiver straight down my spine. “You do not have to open it.”“If I do not he will keep yelling until someone on the street calls the police.”Rhys gave a short nod and finally moved away. The space he left felt cold. I slid off the counter. My legs were unsteady. I smoothed my hair and walked toward the front of the restaurant. Rhys stayed two steps behind me,
Elena’s POVDamien stood in my doorway like a shadow. His naked body looked powerful in the dim light. My heart hammered hard against my ribs. I sat up in bed, pulling the sheet over my chest even though he had already seen everything.“Are you scared, Elena?” he asked in that deep voice. He steppe
Elena’s POV I stood at the door, my heart pounding like a drum. Damien kept thrusting into the woman on the bed. His eyes stayed locked on mine. That dangerous smile never left his face. My legs felt weak. I knew I should run back to my room, but his silent “Stay” held me there.He turned his atte
Elena’s POV I paid the taxi driver with the last of my cash and stepped out onto the gravel driveway, my paint bag slung over one shoulder. The mansion loomed in front of me, huge and old, with lights glowing in some of the windows. My stomach was doing that nervous flip it always does before som
Elena’s POVI followed Damien down the narrow stairs to the lower levels of the mansion, my heart beating fast in my chest. The air grew cooler and heavier as we descended. My short black dress barely covered my thighs, and I felt exposed already. Damien’s hand stayed firm on my lower back, guiding
