LOGINI wasn’t looking for a roommate. Not really.
But when Dean offered me the second bedroom, it was perfect. Big, cheap, close to campus. And he was hot but safe. We were friends. We'd known each other through mutuals for a while. He wasn’t pushy. Didn’t flirt at least not outwardly. Until I noticed the way he watched me when I walked around in sleep shorts. Or how he paused every time I bent over to grab something from the fridge. There was tension. Always had been. But we danced around it like it was breakable glass. That ended when I came home one Friday night and saw a contract printed neatly on the kitchen table. The Roommate Agreement. My name typed at the top. His at the bottom. Pages of terms and bullet points, like a legal doc made just for the kind of tension we'd never dared act on. Clause 1.1: All engagements must be consensual and initiated verbally or through previously agreed nonverbal cues. Clause 2.3: Control dynamics will be mutually respected. Clause 3.4: Safe words apply. Red stops everything. Yellow slows. Clause 4.0: Emotional detachment is not required. My heart was pounding before I even turned to the second page. Then I saw it, his signature at the bottom. Inked in bold, deliberate strokes. He’d signed it. And beside the blank space where mine was supposed to go, he'd written a single line in his handwriting: If you're brave enough to stop pretending. I carried the contract into his room like it was a weapon. Like it was a key. He didn’t look up at first just sprawled across his bed shirtless, scrolling on his phone. “This is a joke, right?” “Do I look like I’m laughing?” I could barely speak. “You, you’ve been thinking about this?” He met my eyes then. Slowly. Dark. Unapologetic. “For two years.” “You’re insane.” “You’re wet.” My thighs clenched. Hard. And then I said the stupidest, bravest thing I’ve ever said: “Where’s a pen?” First Session I didn’t sleep that night. Couldn’t. The moment I signed it, I wasn’t just his roommate anymore. I was something else his to control, to please, to ruin. That first night, he told me to show up in the living room at midnight. Barefoot. In a robe. No underwear. I obeyed. He was already waiting fully dressed in black joggers, hoodie sleeves rolled up, a glass of whiskey in one hand. He didn’t even speak at first. Just walked around me in silence. Circled like a panther. I felt stripped even though I hadn’t taken the robe off yet. “You nervous?” he asked. “No,” I lied. He stepped behind me. Pulled the sash on my robe. The fabric slipped. And so did my breath. “You’re trembling.” “I’m turned on.” His hand slid between my thighs and confirmed it. I was soaked obscene and glistening. “I want you to remember something,” he said, fingers stroking lazily. “This is still your choice. Always.” “I know.” “Good. Then get on your knees.” I knelt on the rug, eyes locked on his. He didn’t unzip immediately. He made me wait fingertips trailing my jaw, tracing my lips. “You want to taste it?” “Yes.” “Then beg.” “Please, Dean. Let me suck your cock.” He groaned low in his throat, then freed himself. God. He was huge. Thick and veined, already hard. I wrapped my lips around the head slowly, then deeper, letting him feel every inch of my mouth as I sucked him in with a soft moan. He hissed. “Fuck, your mouth was made for this.” He held the back of my head, guiding me, praising me between breathless groans as I licked, sucked, and swallowed every drop of arousal he gave me. But he didn’t finish in my mouth. He pulled me off with a pop, eyes wild, and growled: “Bed. Now.” The Couch. The Spanking. The Control. He bent me over the armrest like I weighed nothing. And then came the spanking. Not too rough. But hard enough to make my skin burn and my core throb. Between each smack, his fingers explored slipping between my folds, playing with my clit, dipping just enough to make me whimper. “You’ve been thinking about this too, haven’t you?” “Yes.” “About being bent over like a little slut for your roommate?” “Yes.” He spanked again harder. “What are you?” “Yours.” He moaned into my neck, grinding against me, his cock teasing my entrance until I was shaking. But he didn’t fuck me. Not yet. “Tomorrow,” he whispered, hand cupping my sex possessively. “Tomorrow I ruin you.” The Next Night He kept his promise. He blindfolded me. Tied my hands with silk. Spread me on his bed like a feast. And then? He went slow. Licked every inch of me. Worshipped my thighs. Bit into my hipbones. When he finally slid inside deep, hard, without warning I screamed. He didn’t stop. He gripped my wrists. Fucked me like he owned every part of me. Like he'd waited years to claim this exact moment. And I let him. I came three times before he did. And when he collapsed beside me, panting, he whispered, “No contract will ever be enough. You’re mine now.” And I whispered back, “I know.”He noticed her restraint before he noticed her beauty.She didn’t sit fully back in the chair. Most people did collapsed into it, surrendered to the safety of upholstery and permission. She perched instead, spine straight, ankles crossed, hands folded neatly in her lap like she was afraid of spilling something if she relaxed too much.Her wedding ring caught the light when she moved.“I don’t know how to say this without sounding ungrateful,” she said.Her voice was soft but deliberate. Not timid. Controlled.He inclined his head, pen hovering above his notebook, posture open but professionally neutral.“You can say it however it comes,” he replied.She drew in a slow breath, eyes lowering.“My husband is kind,” she began. “He’s responsible. He never forgets anniversaries. He never yells. He provides.”A pause followed heavy, expectant.“And yet,” she continued, lifting her gaze, “I feel invisible in my own marriage.”The sentence landed with a quiet finality. She seemed surprised by
They never asked if she wanted it.The envelope waited on her kitchen table when she came home, black against the pale wood like a bruise. No stamp. No seam. Just her name pressed into it embossed, not written as if the paper had been taught to remember her.Inside lay the key.It was larger than she expected, old-fashioned, its teeth asymmetrical, almost organic. When she lifted it, warmth bled into her skin, spreading slowly up her arm. The metal carried a faint scent iron, skin, something intimate and closed.She wrapped it in a cloth and placed it in a drawer.That night, she dreamed of mouths opening where doors should have been.At first, nothing happened.Then came the awareness.Not of the key itself, but of him the man she worked with, the one whose presence had always felt carefully neutral. They had shared elevators, meetings, nods of professional courtesy. A man who never leaned too close. Never let his eyes linger.Until they did.It was small. A hesitation before he look
The EvaluationThe convent smelled of candle wax, lavender soap, and rain drifting through the open arches. Sister Clara moved like a whisper through the corridor, the rosary brushing softly against her hip. Today was the day of her final evaluation the last step before she gave up her life to God completely.She felt ready.Or at least she thought she did.When she stepped into the office, she expected white hair and wrinkled hands measuring her soul like an old ledger. Instead, the man waiting by the window was young too young. His back was straight, his shoulders tense, and his eyes touched her before his words did.“Good morning, Sister Clara,” he said.His voice wasn’t heavy with authority. It was quiet, curious almost cautious.“Good morning, Doctor,” she answered, bowing her head.He didn’t offer a hand. Doctors usually did. He only gestured toward the chair, his fingers rigid near his side like he was afraid of his own movements.“My name is Daniel Hayes,” he said. “I’m here t
The Voice That Should Not ExistThe cathedral was too large for her voice.That’s what everyone said.Eliora was sixteen when Bishop Adrien first heard her sing small in stature, shy in posture, a single drop of sound in a chamber meant for thunder. She blended into pews, into shadows, into her own silence.No one expected him to notice her.But on the night of the Saint’s Vigil, when she lifted her voice for the final hymn, something shifted in the air like a veil being drawn aside.Her tone was fragile soft as candle flame but it carried. Not loud. Not powerful. Just piercing, like truth whispered.It wasn’t talent.It was something else.Bishop Adrien froze where he stood behind the altar steps. His hands tightened around the cold silver of the censer, smoke lifting between his fingers. His heart usually steady as stone missed one beat. Then another.It was the way she sang.As though she wasn’t performing.As though she was praying from the marrow.The cathedral responded to her y
The Lesson That BurnedElias had grown up in a house where every word of Scripture carried weight, and every glance from his parents was measured. Curiosity was a sin. Desire unthinkable.Yet when she arrived, everything changed.Her name was Selene. Ten years older, with a presence that made the air vibrate. Her hair fell in dark waves, eyes that seemed to see everything beneath the surface, and a smile that promised mischief she couldn’t suppress. She was the new tutor assigned to help him with Latin and Biblical studies a necessity for his coming confirmation.From the first moment, Elias felt it. A strange heat in his chest whenever she bent over the books, pointing to a verse, her perfume trailing like a forbidden whisper.She noticed him staring.“You’re more attentive than most,” she said softly one afternoon, voice low, velvet and teasing. “But is it the Scriptures that interest you, or me?”Elias flushed violently. He opened his mouth, but no words came. Selene chuckled, a wa
The Watcher Who FellShe always felt ita presence that wasn’t entirely human.Not dangerous.Not frightening.Just watching her. Protecting her. Holding a breath she didn’t know she could steal.Mara had grown up with the strange sensation that someone stood behind her whenever she cried, or smiled, or whispered desperate prayers into her pillow. A warmth on her neck. A featherlight pressure on her skin. A calming hush in her ears when her world felt loud.She never saw anything.Never heard anything.But she felt him.And tonight, she felt him stronger than ever.The storm outside had swallowed the moon. Rain streaked the windows of her tiny apartment. She was curled on her bed, hugging her knees, drowning in the heaviness she hid from everyone else.“Why does nothing ever feel enough” she whispered into the dark.The air changed.Softly, just softly the room warmed. Like someone had lit a candle inside her chest.She froze.“Mara.”Her name floated through the room like it came on
