KANE
I walked into the hospital ward, feeling a mix of hope and dread. The sterile air was thick with the sound of labored breaths, but the moment my little sister, Emma saw me, her eyes lit up. Despite the machines and her serious illness, she smiled—a shining light in her tough fight. At just nine years old, she had spent her entire life-fighting cystic fibrosis, a merciless condition that ravaged her lungs and digestive system. There was no cure, only a never-ending cycle of treatments and medications that barely kept her afloat. The doctor had once told me that with proper care, she might live past fifty. "Hey, kiddo," I said softly, pulling a chair closer to her bed. "How are you feeling today?" "Better now that you're here," she replied, her voice thin but warm. "The nurses said I might get to go outside tomorrow if the weather's nice." A grin spread across my face. "That's great! We'll make it a big deal. I'll bring your favorite book, and we can sit in the garden. Maybe even sneak in some chocolates if the doctors don't catch us." She laughed, a sound that quickly turned into a cough. I reached out, gently patting her back until it subsided. "You always know how to make me smile," she said, catching her breath. "But... don't get in trouble for me, okay?" "Hey, trouble's my middle name," I said with a wink. "Besides, what's a little scolding compared to seeing you happy?" Her expression softened, and for a moment, the playful glint in her eyes faded. "You work so hard for me," she said quietly. "I see it, you know. You're always tired. I don't want you to... to wear yourself out because of me." I smiled leaning forward and taking her small hand in mine. "Listen to me," I said, "You're my little sister. My only family. There's nothing I wouldn't do to keep you safe and healthy. You're worth every late night, every long shift, every... everything." Tears welled in her eyes, and she blinked them away, her lower lip trembling. "But what if it's never enough? What if I'm never strong enough to beat this?" My grip on her hand tightened, and I looked her straight in the eye. "Don't talk like that. You're the strongest person I know. You've been fighting this since you were born, and you're still here, still smiling. That's not luck—that's *you.* And as long as you keep fighting, I'll be right here beside you." She sniffled, her small fingers curling around mine. "Promise?" "I promise," I said, my voice unwavering. "Always." A mischievous grin crept onto her face, and she tilted her head. "Even if I ask for double chocolates tomorrow?" I laughed, the sound rich and warm in the quiet room. "Especially if you ask for double chocolate. But don't push your luck—I'm not risking a full-on hospital lockdown." "Deal," she said, her laughter mingling with mine. I chatted with her briefly, and it didn't take long for the effects of the medicine she took to kick in before she fell asleep. I tucked her in and left the hospital at 12:30 PM, just thirty minutes before my appointment with a client. As I crossed the street, my thoughts drifted back to the night everything changed. Emma's treatment bills kept increasing every week. She was all the family I had left, and I was willing to do anything to keep her alive. Yet, no matter how many part-time jobs I juggled, the bills always outpaced my earnings. My financial situation was a sinking ship, and I was running out of ways to bail it out. Desperation led me to *that* website. They were recruiting escorts, and the pay was staggering—$40,000 for a single contract. It wasn’t enough to cover a full year of her treatments, but it was a lifeline compared to the paltry $500 I could scrape together in three months of grueling work. The virtual interview felt unreal. Carie, the woman conducting it, seemed almost too eager, her eyes appraising me with a mix of curiosity and approval. By the end of our conversation, she upped the offer to $100,000, promising to triple it if I “performed well.” The words made my stomach churn, but the thought of my sister’s smile steadied me. For her, I was willing to take the plunge. At 20, Carie became the first woman I slept with. She was impressed—enough to promote me on the website. Within days, I had over 16 clients vying for my time. One was a man, but I declined; that wasn’t what I signed up for. I wasn't gay and I could never imagine sticking my dick into a guy's rectum. He didn’t take it well. He left a scathing one-star review, tarnishing my perfect 10.0 rating and dropping it to a 9.9. That bastard. By the time I turned 24, I was earning over $1 million a year. I was one of the few who could satisfy women so thoroughly that they kept coming back, begging for more. The thrill of it began to seep into my veins and I was starting to enjoy it: the money, the pleasure, the endless stream of women—tight, wide, every kind of pussy imaginable—all while earning more in a night than I once did in a year. I never planned on settling down. In fact, I made it a rule to never sleep with the same woman twice. Over the years, countless proposals have come my way, but I always declined. Relationships weren’t my thing, and I had no interest in being tied down. That was until the algorithm presented me with a proposal that stopped me in my tracks. It appeared on my dashboard one evening. At first, I skimmed it out of curiosity, but the more I read, the more intrigued I became. The woman—Nina—was offering something I couldn't resist: she wanted a man to impregnate her. There are no strings attached and no expectations beyond that. It was bold, almost audacious, and it stirred something primal in me. I’ve always been careful. I never slept with a woman without protection, and I made sure to dispose of any evidence myself. The last thing I needed was a child I didn’t plan for, or a woman using pregnancy as leverage. But Nina’s proposal was different and the idea excited me. The thought of spilling my seeds into her over and over again until she was all swollen with life, and knowing I did it to her hardened my dick. The first time I met her, I told myself I’d satisfy my curiosity, walk away, and never look back. But the moment I tasted her, something shifted. There was a warmth to her, a raw, magnetic pull that I couldn’t resist. I thought I’d grow bored, as I always did, but instead, I found myself craving more. Her body moved with a rhythm that had me intoxicated with obsession. The way she rode me, her slick, tight warmth pressing down as if she wanted to swallow my dick whole, was unlike anything I’d ever experienced. Every time I left her, I told myself it would be the last. But I always found myself back at her doorstep, drawn to her like a moth to a flame. It had been seven days since I last saw her, and the desire was driving me mad. It didn’t take long before I found myself standing in front of the imposing doors of a sprawling mansion. The door creaked open, revealing a stern-faced servant—likely the butler—who ushered me inside without a word. His movements were precise, almost mechanical, as he led me down a dimly lit hallway and into a room that could only be described as a princess’s fantasy. The walls were a soft blush pink, adorned with delicate gold accents, and the air carried a faint scent of roses. The butler closed the door behind me with a quiet, respectful click. “I’ve been waiting for you,” a voice purred, smooth and velvety. I turned to see a striking woman with fiery red hair cascading over her shoulders. Her emerald-green eyes sparkled as she approached me, her heels clicking softly against the polished floor. She wore a seductive smile. I wasn’t here for pleasantries. Without a word, I shrugged off my shirt and let my pants fall to the floor, leaving me in nothing but my boxers. Her gaze lingered for a moment, and then she stepped closer, her fingers tracing slow, deliberate circles on my chest. Her touch was warm, almost electric, but I wasn’t in the mood for games. I caught her wrist gently but firmly, stopping her. “Let’s not waste time,” I said, my voice a bit cold. She raised an eyebrow, a playful smirk tugging at her lips. “Straight to the point, are we?” she teased, her breath warm against my skin as she leaned in, her lips inches from mine. I tilted my head back slightly, just enough to avoid her kiss. Her smirk faltered for a moment, a faint blush coloring her cheeks, but she quickly recovered, masking her embarrassment with a laugh. She stepped back, her fingers deftly working at the buttons of her dress. The fabric slid to the floor, pooling at her feet, and she stood there, confident and unashamed. I didn’t wait. I pulled off my boxers and stared at my cock in my hands.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
