51. Waking Up to Face the Music

AYRAI woke up to soft sheets and an expensive, familiar cologne that made my stomach flutter. The room was dark, so I rose slowly from the bed to avoid hurting myself.I made my way out of bed and padded softly across the floor. I could hear sounds coming from somewhere in the house. Was that music? And the sounds of pots clanging. I ran my hands through my messy hair as the events of last night came flooding back to me in vivid detail.The sex toy shopping. The drunk phone calls. Liam picking me up. And the vibrator buzzing out of nowhere before I threw it in shock.Oh my God, I groaned, covering my face with my palms. I can't believe I did that. I tried remembering what happened after the flying vibrator incident, but my memory got fuzzy after he buckled me in. I must have blacked out.This is why I always say Brielle plus me equals a recipe for disaster.I looked down at what I was wearing and realized I wasn't in my clothes. I was wearing one of Liam's shirts again. It's becoming

52. How Did I Get So Lucky?

AYRA"You don't have to say a thing. I've just been exploring possibilities. Nothing is set in stone. Nothing happens unless you want it to. However, I wanted to have real opportunities ready to present to you, rather than just vague ideas. I wanted everything to be perfect, if you want it, of course. This isn't me forcing it on you. I just felt like this is something you could go into and thrive. You are a brand, Ayra. I don't know if you know that yet. And I'm not that dumb to bet on something I know wouldn't win. I always win, so I always bet on winners. And you, Ayra, are a winner."Unshed tears pooled in my eyes at his confidence in me and what I stood for. The words were stuck in my throat as I couldn't find the right ones to speak.How did I get so lucky?Where had he been all my life?"Why are you so nice to me?" was all I could manage. "Why do all this for me?""Because you're talented, because you deserve options, because..." He stood up as both hands found their way to my

53. Good, Sexy, and Powerful

AYRA"Yes, no pressure. If you don't want to meet her, it's fine. Just keeping you in the loop. Don't worry, she isn't as tough as she looks or sounds. She's always concerned, and you two have a lot in common." He smiled."We do?""You're both nosy." He laughed as I swatted his hands away.I was still nervous about the whole thing, but his comment put me at ease. I guess that would be a bridge I'd cross when it arrived.We pulled up to my apartment building, and before I got out, Liam pulled me in for one more kiss. "Tonight, seven o'clock. Wear something that makes you feel good, sexy, and powerful." He smiled."Good, sexy, and powerful. Got it," I smiled."And Cupcake, text me throughout the day. I want to know how filming goes. I want to know when you get the news.""What news?""You'll see." He kissed me again.********I arrived at the set with Raven and felt like I was on top of the world. Everything with Liam felt more settled now. We were defined, and it felt as real as any r

54. Scarlett

LIAMI smiled as I remembered Ayra's confession about her feelings for me and her desire for us to be together exclusively. Finally, she was mine, officially exclusive without hesitation or doubts. The wait had been worth it, but now that she was committed, I planned to make sure she never regretted choosing me.I picked up my phone to make a call to Matteo's. It's a private and exclusive dining establishment that doesn't advertise or take walk-ins. You have to know someone who knows someone, and even then, you must be vetted before being given access.But my good friend Matteo had already had everything fixed and planned for me. Before I came back, he wanted me to have a good time. And that was where I was meeting him the night I went to the nightclub where I met Ayra for the first time, which led to us being here today.I'm forever grateful to Matteo for that invitation. It was crazy how she thought I was working there. A server had initially spilled my drink that night and was so

55. The Star of the Show

AYRAI stood in front of my closet, staring back at the dress I'd picked out. It was elegant but sophisticated, with a neckline that dipped down a bit on my cleavage. It showed without being too obvious and had a slit that revealed enough leg to be interesting. I thought of the way he would look at me when he saw me in it, the heat in his eyes and the promises of things he would do, and I blushed.My phone buzzed, snapping me back to reality. It was a text from Liam. "Car is downstairs. Take your time, Cupcake. I'm not going anywhere."I smiled as I took one last peek in the mirror, satisfied with my makeup and outfit. My hair was styled in simply curls, and my makeup was a bit heavy around the eyes but soft glam all through. The dress complemented it, balanced it out. I looked powerful and sexy, just like Liam had suggested, and I looked powerful but felt a tad bit nervous.I smile as I thought about what tonight would bring and what he'd implied.I'm not like Brielle with all her w

56. A lesson on Control

AYRAMy stomach flipped as I grew anxious about what was about to happen."Yes." My voice came out more like a squeak than a reply."Good girl," he said. The praise felt warm, sending shivers down my spine. "Now I'm going to ask you some questions and I want honest answers. Can you do that?"I nodded."Use your words, Cupcake. You're going to need your words tonight.""Yes, I can do that.""Have you ever let someone tie you up before?"My eyes widened slightly. "No.""Have you ever been blindfolded during sex?""No.""Have you ever let someone have complete control over when you come?""Yes, and that was you."His smile was proud and tender at once. "That's good. Tonight is going to be full of firsts, but only if you trust me. Do you trust me, Ayra?"I looked into his honey-brown eyes and saw nothing but desire mixed with genuine care. "Yes, I trust you.""We'll be putting that to the test," he said, and he loosened his tie. I looked at him, curious, wondering what was about to happen

57. A lesson on Surrender

AYRA I was going to lose my mind. Liam's hands kept bringing me to the edge, then pulling back just when I thought I'd finally get relief. My whole body was wound tight, trembling with need, and I couldn't stop the frustrated sounds escaping my throat. "Liam," I pleaded, my voice breaking. "Please." "Please what?" His fingers traced lazy circles on my inner thigh, so close to where I needed him but not close enough. "Use those words, Cupcake." I was beyond embarrassment now. Beyond caring about anything except the aching need building inside me. "Please let me come," I gasped out. "I need... God, I need to come so badly." "Better," he said, and I could hear the smile in his voice. "But we're not quite there yet." I heard movement beside the bed, then felt something new. A gentle vibration against my skin, starting at my ankle. The toy. My breath caught as he traced it up my leg slowly, the sensation was amplified by the blindfold. Every nerve in my body was

58. Lesson Learned

AYRALiam stood from the bed, and I watched with hungry eyes as he unbuttoned his shirt slowly, deliberately. Each button revealed more of his chest. My mouth went dry watching him, remembering how he'd felt that first night we were together."Come here," he said, his voice rough with want.I got up on shaky legs, still feeling the pleasant aftershocks of my orgasm making my thighs tremble. When I reached him, his hands found my waist, pulling me flush against him so I could feel exactly how much he wanted me."Your turn to take control," he murmured against my ear, his breath hot on my skin. "Show me what you want to do to me. I'm yours, Ayra."My hands trembled slightly as I reached for his belt, but not from nervousness this time. From anticipation. He didn't help, just watched me with those intense honey-brown eyes as I fumbled with the buckle and his jaw clenched with restraint."Take your time," he said, his voice strained. "We have all night."Finally getting his belt undone, I

59. He is Crazy.

RAVEN I was lounging on my couch, reviewing the schedule for Ayra's filming, when I heard a knock on my door. I frowned since I wasn't expecting anyone and it was nearly ten o'clock. Looking through the peephole to check who it was, my stomach dropped immediately. I saw Nathan standing outside, holding flowers and smiling wide. I felt uncomfortable as warning bells began to ring in my head. While I debated not answering, he knocked again, harder this time. I rolled my eyes in annoyance. He doesn't get it, does he? I wanted to be left alone. He was by no means a bad guy, but thinking on what Ayra said last time had me putting some things into perspective. Nathan was too controlling, and I had to admit that. I'd taken a step back to see if I wanted to push forward with the way our relationship was developing or if I wanted to cut him off, and he does this? "Raven? I know you're home. I can see your lights on." Running my hands through my hair, I cursed internally. After a couple

60. Definitely

RAVEN"What are you saying? Let's not do this, Raven.""I'm certain. Please, leave me alone. Get out.""You don't want to push me, Raven. You don't want to know what I would do.""What are you saying? Are you threatening me?""Take it as whatever you want. I know so many people in the industry that could make your boss's life and your life very, very difficult. The threat against Ayra made it very clear what I needed to do."As I pushed him toward the door, I said, "Get out before I call the police."My phone kept ringing and I snatched it back. I saw that Brian was calling. I picked it up, hoping that would give Nathan a reason to leave me alone."Hello?" I said shakily.Brian could notice something was going on. "What's wrong?""Oh, I'm fine. Nothing's wrong. Just doing pest control." I looked at Nathan.Nathan looked at me. "This isn't over. You'll regret this." And he left.As he left, I sighed in relief as I heard Brian calling. "Are they that bad? Do you need me to come pick you
