KANE
I found myself staring at the naked woman in front of me, her youthful charm and perfectly proportioned curves making her undeniably attractive—the kind of woman who could easily be anyone’s ideal. She was exactly my type, the kind I’d normally be eager to be with. But as I reached down for my cock, my heart sank. My body wasn’t responding. *How? What the hell is going on?* I thought, panic creeping in. Normally, just the sight of a seductive, unclothed woman would be enough to get me going, but today was different. My mind raced. Was it because I hadn’t had sex in a week? Or had I somehow managed to break it? Shit! The red-haired woman stared back at me, her fake lashes fluttering in confusion and impatience. Sweat began to trickle down my back as I frantically tried to figure out what to do. *Think, damn it! Think!* Then my mind wandered to the only woman who had managed to occupy my thoughts again and again without fail. I imagined her completely bare, her fair legs spread right on that bed and her wet cunt exposed, begging me to enter her and fuck her roughly without restraint. Just the thought of her skin against mine, a mixture of her tears and our sweat got my dick hardening like a damned rock. Her pussy was sweet, I'd taste it again and again, and I didn't think I'd ever be tired. The woman— my supposed client-smirked while staring down at my cock, enthralled. I rolled the condom onto my dick, my hands trembling slightly as I reached for the soft black material. Carefully, I tied it around her eyes, sealing her vision. One rule was already broken. My clients always dictate what works for them—what ignites their desires. My role is to follow their lead and to cater to their kinks and fetishes without question. But this woman had never mentioned a preference for blindfolds. I was crossing a line, acting without her consent. Yet, I felt I had no choice. The fear of losing my erection if I looked directly at her face drove me to act. And as I secured the blindfold, her features blurred in my mind, quickly fading from memory. “So, you’re into this kind of thing, handsome?” she murmured, her voice dripping with amusement. “Well, it’s not really my thing, but since you’re into it…” Her words trailed off, seductive and teasing, as I pushed her onto the bed and entered her with a forceful thrust. A small gasp escaped her lips, her body arching slightly in response. I paused, worried I’d hurt her, but she chuckled softly, her arms wrapping around my neck. “Rough, just how I like it,” she whispered, her tone playful yet encouraging. I began to move again, this time with more intensity. The rhythm grew harsh, and she stopped speaking altogether, her words replaced by breathless moans of pleasure. I winced slightly as her moans filled the room, grating on my nerves. She leaned in again, her lips seeking mine, seemingly forgetting what had happened nearly forty minutes ago. This time, I stopped her by pressing my palm firmly against her mouth, pinning her head to the bed. She let out a muffled groan of protest, but I ignored it, focusing on the rhythm of our movements. It didn’t take long for her to reach her climax, and we continued for hours until she was left panting, utterly spent, and satisfied. As I grabbed my shirt and prepared to leave, a thought struck me. I was planning to visit Nina, and I couldn’t show up reeking of sweat and sex. Reluctantly, I accepted the woman’s offer to use her bathroom to clean up. Stepping into the bathroom, I turned on the shower and stepped under the water. I wouldn’t exactly call it a proper bath—I avoided the bar of soap and shampoo, both heavily scented with patchouli. The overpowering scent was irritating, almost nauseating, and I didn’t want it clinging to my skin. As the water ran over me, a quiet voice in my head chimed in: *“What a convenient excuse to visit Nina’s place and stall for more time.”* I was done bathing and put on my pants before walking out of the bathroom. As I grabbed my shirt and prepared to leave, she reached out, her fingers brushing my arm. “Kane,” she said, her voice soft but insistent. “Stay. Just for a little longer.” I paused, glancing at her. Her blindfold was still on, but her lips were curved into a smile that was both inviting and pleading. “You’re different,” she continued. “I’ve never met anyone like you. I want you to be mine. Exclusively. I could pay you millions. I've got the money” Her words caught me off guard. I stared at her, unsure how to respond. She was beautiful, yes, and the offer was tempting. But my mind drifted back to Nina, to the way she consumed my thoughts even when I was with someone else. “I’m flattered,” I said finally, my voice distant. “But this is just a job for me. Nothing more.” She pouted, her lower lip trembling slightly. “But it doesn’t have to be,” she insisted, sitting up and letting the sheets fall away once again. “I can give you everything you want. Money, freedom, pleasure. Just say the word, and I’m yours.” I shook my head, stepping back. “It’s not about that,” I said, my tone firm. “I’m not looking for anything exclusive. At least not with you.” Her face fell, and for a moment, she looked genuinely hurt. But then she shrugged, her smile returning, though it didn’t quite reach her eyes. “Your loss,” she said lightly, though there was a hint of bitterness in her voice.Salem~ Lucian Vale was my mom's ex-lover. A man she couldn’t stop thinking about, not for a second. He occupied every corner of her mind, every glance, every breath. Because of him, the warmth in our home died slowly. The way my father used to look at my mother—with soft eyes and quiet admiration—turned into something bitter, hard. He started coming home later and later. Stopped talking during dinner. Until one day, he packed his things, signed the divorce papers, and walked out of our lives like he’d never belonged in them. As a kid, I didn’t understand why my father left. I thought maybe he just didn’t love us enough. Maybe he was the problem. But now… now that I’m older—now that I see the world for what it really is. I realized the truth. There was something wrong with my mom. Something obsessive. Twisted. She didn’t just love Lucian Vale. She worshipped him. My father probably got tired, frustrated, watching the woman he married fall to pieces over a man who wasn’t e
Salem~ I was only seven years old the first time I saw him. Still young and innocent, my mother had taken me to his mansion. I vividly remember how she looked—wearing a short red dress, cheeks flushed, eyes cast shyly at Mr. Lucian. She didn’t waste a moment pampering me with toys and my favorite sweets before slipping away down a shadowy hallway with him. At the time, I was excited, convinced my mother was simply trying to make me happy, like any loving mom would. But I didn’t realize then how hard she was working to keep me out of the way—distracting me, stalling me—so she could get exactly what she wanted. It didn’t just happen once. Or twice. It was every time we came. She’d take me there, drop me off in the living room with some toys and sweets, kiss my forehead like that made it okay, and then vanish down that dark hallway with him. But I was a kid. I noticed. And one day, I couldn’t help it. Curiosity shoved me off the couch, and I found myself tiptoeing toward that ha
AVA’S POVThe WeddingSometimes, I catch myself staring at her—Maria just to remind myself she’s real.Six months old, and already the center of our world. She had Wolfe’s lips and my nose, and eyes that were still deciding what color they wanted to be. Sometimes grey, sometimes brown, sometimes a soft storm between.Right now, she was in my mother’s arms, dressed in a tiny satin gown that had bows on the sleeves and frills that made her look like a walking cupcake. Wolfe had picked it out himself. Said it looked “regal.” He couldn’t stop fixing the bow on her headband all morning like it was the most important job he’d ever been given.I still couldn’t believe he was mine.He wasn’t supposed to be. But here we were. On our wedding day. And he was waiting for me at the altar.---When I first told my parents about Maria, I was terrified.They’d flown in the next day. Wolfe opened the door, and my mom just stood there, frozen, blinking past him into the living room where Maria was lyin
A nurse pressed our baby into her arms, and Ava let out this broken, breathless sound, like she couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Ava's hands trembled as she cradled the tiny bundle close. The baby’s cries softened into little hiccuping whimpers, and she just stared, transfixed, her lips parted in shock. I couldn’t take my eyes off either of them. She was here. The baby was here. And I— I didn’t know what to do with the way my chest felt like it was caving in and expanding all at once. The nurse leaned in, smiling. “Congratulations. You have a daughter.” A daughter. I choked on air. She turned her head slightly, finally looking at me, her eyes wide and swimming with tears. “Wolfe,” she whispered, voice raw. “She’s—she’s ours.” I reached out, my fingers brushing the top of the baby’s head. It was so soft, so impossibly small and then I cupped her cheek, my thumb sweeping away the tears. “Yeah,” I rasped. “She is.” Our daughter. *Ours*. She let out a shuddering breath, he
WOLFE’S POV I heard her breathing before I even saw her. Labored. Tight. Shaky like she was holding it together with all her strength. And then I turned the corner and saw her half-collapsed by the garden, hands curled into the dirt like she’d fallen and hadn’t had the strength to get back up. My heart dropped. I don’t remember getting out of the car. I just remember the weight of her in my arms, her skin damp with sweat, her lips pressed into a thin, trembling line as she fought off whatever the hell was happening. She tried to speak, and I leaned in, desperate. “My back hurts,” she whispered. “And my stomach. It keeps coming and going like… waves.” I didn’t know what that meant, but it didn’t sound good. Didn’t sound normal. I got her in the car and drove like the devil himself was chasing me. My knuckles went white on the wheel. I broke every traffic law I ever learned. She winced beside me, and I swear my chest cracked open. She was in pain. And I didn’t know how to stop
I didn’t know which number it was.I stopped counting after the fourth time he made me cum. He took me again and again until my body gave out, until pleasure bled into pain, and pain blurred into something deeper. Something darker.Something only he could give me.By the end, I could barely move. Could barely speak.I felt his weight shift, the mattress dip as he finally stilled—buried deep inside me, one final possessive thrust holding him there. I whimpered when he pulled out, my body too sensitive to even breathe right.I lay still, my body sore in places I hadn’t even known could ache. My skin was warm with sweat, my legs too weak to move, my mind heavy but clear. The room smelled like sex. The sheets beneath me were damp, tangled.I felt him shift behind me. His arm slid from under my ribs, and for a moment I thought he was getting up. But then he lowered himself instead. Carefully. Slowly.He pressed his forehead to my chest, right above my heart, and let out a quiet breath. His
