LOGINElena’s POV
I 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 me like I belonged to him completely. “You will serve drinks tonight, Elena,” he said in a low voice. “Be a good girl and stay quiet unless I tell you otherwise. The Board members expect obedience.” “Yes, Daddy,” I whispered back, my voice shaking a little. “I won’t disappoint you.” The door at the bottom opened into a large dimly lit room. Five masked figures sat around a long table. Their masks were dark and elegant, hiding their faces but not their powerful presence. Expensive suits and watches told me they were rich and important. My stomach flipped as their eyes turned toward me. Damien pushed me gently forward. “This is Elena, our new artist,” he announced. “She is here to serve you tonight.” One masked man with a deep voice chuckled softly. “She looks young and eager, Damien. Have you started her training properly?” “She learns fast,” Damien replied with pride in his tone. He handed me a tray with glasses of dark wine. “Go on, little one. Offer drinks to everyone.” I moved carefully around the table, my hands trembling as I held the tray. The dress felt too tight and too short. When I leaned over to serve the second man, his hand brushed my thigh under the table. I gasped quietly but kept moving. “Good service,” another member said. His mask hid his eyes but I felt his stare on my body. “Damien, you always pick the pretty ones.” Damien stood behind me now. His fingers traced my spine slowly. “She is mine to shape,” he told them. “But the Board can watch and enjoy.” Heat rushed to my face as I continued serving. Damien’s hand slid lower. He pushed the back of my dress up a little right there in front of them. Cool air touched my bare skin. I bit my lip hard to stay silent. “Spread your legs a bit, Elena,” he ordered softly near my ear. I obeyed, shifting my feet wider. His fingers found my pussy and stroked gently. I was already wet from the tension. One of the masked women at the table leaned forward to watch closer. “She responds well,” the woman said with interest. “Look at how her body trembles. Will you let her cum for us tonight, Damien?” “Not yet,” Damien answered calmly while his fingers circled my clit slowly. “This is only the first test. She must earn her pleasure.” Pleasure built inside me fast. I tried to focus on the tray but my knees felt weak. A soft moan escaped my lips before I could stop it. The members murmured in approval. Damien pressed one finger inside me then two, stretching me while everyone watched. My breath came in short gasps. “Please, Daddy,” I whispered only for him. “It feels too good in front of them.” “Shh, good girls stay quiet,” he reminded me and thrust his fingers deeper for a moment. Then he pulled away suddenly, leaving me aching and empty. “Continue serving.” I straightened my dress with shaky hands and moved to the next person. My cheeks burned with embarrassment and excitement. Their eyes followed every step. The mix of fear and thrill made my pussy throb even more. After the drinks were served, Damien pulled me aside into a small side room connected to the main area. The stone wall felt cold against my back as he pressed me there. Voices from the Board members still carried through the door. “I need you now,” he growled low. His body was hot and hard against mine. “You did well out there, but this pussy belongs to me.” He lifted my dress quickly and freed his thick cock. Without warning he pushed my legs apart and thrust deep inside me in one strong movement. The cold stone wall contrasted with his burning skin. I cried out but he covered my mouth with his hand. “Quiet, Elena,” he warned against my ear. “They are right outside. You don’t want them to hear how much you love Daddy’s cock.” I nodded desperately, my eyes wide. He fucked me hard and possessive against the wall. Each thrust lifted me onto my toes. The rough stone scraped my back lightly while his hips slammed forward. Pleasure mixed with the slight pain. “You feel so tight,” he groaned softly. “Watching them stare at you made me hard all night. This cunt is mine alone.” “Yes, Daddy,” I moaned into his palm. “Fuck me harder. I need you.” He pounded deeper, his free hand squeezing my breast roughly. My body shook with every thrust. I tried to stay silent but small whimpers still slipped out. The voices outside continued talking about business, completely unaware or maybe not caring. Damien’s rhythm grew faster. “Cum for me now,” he commanded in a whisper. “Milk my cock like a good little pet.” My orgasm hit strong and sudden. I clenched around him hard, waves of pleasure crashing through me. He kept thrusting through it until he buried himself deep and filled me with his hot cum. We stayed pressed together, breathing heavily. He kissed my neck gently after. “You are perfect tonight.” While he adjusted his clothes, I quickly pulled out my phone from the small pocket in my dress. I had managed to take a quick photo earlier of one masked man’s distinctive jaw and eyes. Now I opened my sketch app and made a fast simple drawing of his face shape and mask details. My heart raced as I saved it secretly. This might help me understand who these people really were. Damien didn’t notice. He took my hand and led me back toward the main room. But as we approached the door, I heard the members talking in lower voices. One man said clearly, “The new pet is coming along nicely. We should start breaking her in fully next week. The others broke so easily after the first tests.” Another replied, “Yes, push her limits. Make sure she understands what the Velvet Board really demands from girls like her.” My blood ran cold. Breaking in new pets? What did they have planned for me? I froze in place, gripping Damien’s arm tighter. He looked down at me with a dark smile, but I couldn’t tell if he knew what they were saying or not. The conversation continued behind the door. “She has talent with her art too. We can use that. But first, we break her spirit completely…” I swallowed hard, fear and curiosity mixing inside me. What had I gotten myself into?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 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 POVSunlight streamed through the big studio windows the next morning. My body still ached from last night. Damien’s cum had dried on my thighs. I stood in front of the blank canvas with shaky hands, trying to focus on work.The door opened suddenly. Damien walked in wearing a fitted black
Elena’s POVDamien’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
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
