Chapter Twenty-One: Worship me

His weight was heavy on top of me. Not crushing. Just enough to make me feel held, anchored to a moment that shouldn’t exist.I could still feel him inside me, his length twitching, buried deep where no one else had ever reached. He hadn’t pulled out. He hadn’t tried to. He just stayed there, wrapped in the aftermath of what we’d just done, like neither of us could accept that it was over.And maybe it wasn’t.Not yet.His breath was hot against my neck, his chest heaving, skin slick with sweat. My legs were still spread, still shaking, still wrapped around him like I’d die if I let go.“I should move,” he rasped, voice gravel and regret.“Don’t,” I whispered, my fingers slipping into his hair. “Stay.”He did.He rolled us gently onto our sides, his cock softening inside me but not leaving. One arm curled beneath my neck, the other resting across my waist. His palm cupped my hip, like he couldn’t stop touching me, even now.Silence stretched between us, not uncomfortable, just full. Fu

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Lies We Wear

I woke to the smell of something warm and savory filling the air. Eggs, maybe. Toast. Coffee. The kind of smell that shouldn’t exist in the aftermath of a night like ours.For a second, I forgot.Forgot about the engagement. The Wolfe name. The lies we’d buried ourselves under.And then I remembered, this was Killian’s cabin. Killian’s bed. Killian’s scent still clinging to my thighs and the sheets wrapped around my body.I rolled over to find the space beside me empty but still warm.The ache between my legs reminded me he’d been there. That he’d taken me apart and put me back together in ways no one else ever could.I slipped out of bed slowly, Killian’s flannel shirt draped around my shoulders. It swallowed me whole, and yet I felt more like myself than I had in weeks. More his than I should’ve been.The moment I stepped into the small kitchen, he turned toward me.No shirt. Just sweatpants that hung low on his hips. He was plating food with quiet ease, like he’d done this before, c

Chapter Twenty- Three: Between Desire and Reality

The city lights blurred through the rain streaked window of my private office, a cold reminder that life didn’t stop, no matter how much I wanted to shut everything out. The familiar hum of the air conditioning was the only sound breaking the silence as I sat behind my desk, eyes fixed on the glowing screen in front of me.My office sat completely detached from the main Wolfe building. A hidden space. Unlisted. Untouched. Nobody came here except me, and I liked it that way. Here, I wasn’t a Wolfe. I wasn’t Victor’s shadow or my father’s mistake. I was just a man trying to hold together the pieces of a life nobody saw.Victor could have the cameras, the compliments, the curated spotlight. He’d always been the crown prince. I was the quiet blade working in the dark. Father gave him the praise, but he gave me the work that really mattered, the dirty, dangerous kind that built empires.Today’s headlines were another reminder of the role I played in this legacy. Another scandal, another whi

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Beginning After the End

I know we said that day would be the last.But I’m starting to think that day was the beginning.Because I don’t know how, and I don’t know why, but I’m back.Here.At the cabin.Again.All it took was one text from Killian: Come over.No punctuation. No explanation.And yet here I am, speeding through back roads like my body already knew the way before I told it where to go. Like the part of me I keep buried, the reckless, selfish, burning part, was always just waiting for permission to rise again.The second I opened the door, I felt it.That tension. That ache. The invisible thread that always pulls me back to him.He was already there, leaning against the kitchen counter, shirt half unbuttoned, glass in hand like he’d been waiting.For me.For this.“Ivy,” he said, like it hurt to say my name.I dropped my bag. Closed the distance between us.I didn’t even ask why. I didn’t ask if this was a mistake.I didn’t ask anything.Because the second his hands were on my body again, I alrea

Chapter Twenty-Five: Paint Me Like a Lie

It was late.Too late for him to text me.Too late for me to care.Killian: I’m a few miles away. Tell me which part of the house your studio’s in.I stared at the message, heart pounding.My studio?He wanted to come here?Panic gripped me first. Not fear, but the thrill of getting caught. The delicious, dangerous taste of risk. If my parents saw him, if Victor came by, if anyone even sensed something off…But then his second message came.Killian: No one will see. I just want to be with you.Something in me broke open.I should’ve said no.Instead, I typed:Ivy: Back wing of the house. Ground floor. The small door with the brass handle.I stood, barely breathing. My hands were already moving before I could question myself, stripping off the oversized sweater I’d been wearing, slipping into something far more inappropriate for painting and far too revealing for comfort.A silk camisole clung to my skin, no bra underneath. Black lace panties. That was it.I don’t know why I dressed li

Chapter Twenty-Six: Where the Silence Knows Us

Steam curled in the cold night air, rising in delicate tendrils around her bare shoulders like smoke from a ritual. Ivy sat across from me in the hot tub, her legs stretched out under the water, her eyes reflecting the stars and something softer, something I didn’t dare name.The silence between us wasn’t awkward.It was charged.Heavy with everything we couldn’t say. Everything we already knew.I watched a drop of water slide down her collarbone, tracing the shape of her. Slow. Unhurried. Like it worshipped her too.She caught me staring and tilted her head, a knowing smile tugging at the corner of her mouth.“What are you thinking about?” she asked.I didn’t answer.Instead, I moved closer.Her breath caught, just barely, but she didn’t back away.I took my time.Every inch between us felt earned.By the time our bodies touched beneath the surface, it was like the whole world had shifted. Like gravity itself had pulled us back into place.I reached up and tucked her wet hair behind h

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Salt and Sand

For the first time in a while, I woke up happy.Not nervous. Not guilty. Not buried in questions or consequences.Just… happy.I woke up warm, my body still humming from the night before. My skin smelled like memory, salt, cedar, sweat. Killian.The soft sheets smelled like him. Like cedarwood and heat. My legs were sore in the best way. My lips swollen from his kisses. And my heart, that traitorous, reckless heart, was still fluttering like it didn’t know better.I smiled without meaning to. My body ached in the most beautiful way. My heart was stupid enough to believe the ache was worth it.But then I saw it.The dress.Hanging like a ghost in the corner of the room.White. Perfect. Unwrinkled. Untouched. Waiting.My engagement dress.Reality didn’t come with a loud crash. It came quiet, cold, like fingers around my throat.I sat up slowly. The sheets fell away from my chest, exposing skin marked by the man I was never meant to love. My gaze stayed on the dress like it might vanish if

Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Quiet Goodbye

The ocean sounded different when you were lying naked beside someone you weren’t supposed to love.Waves brushed against the shore like sighs. The breeze kissed our skin, cool and constant, as if trying to ground us back to reality. But reality had no place here.We lay in silence, side by side on the sand, his hand resting near mine but not touching. Our breaths rose and fell in sync, our bodies warm despite the chill creeping in with the morning tide.I stared at the sky. It was streaked with lavender and soft blue, an open wound of light. Clouds drifted slowly above, indifferent and calm. The kind of sky that had seen lovers like us before. The kind of sky that didn’t promise happy endings.Killian’s voice broke the silence.“When did you know?”I turned my head, met his gaze. His eyes were tired, guarded, but curious in the quiet way he always was when something mattered.“That I’m not a Wolfe,” he clarified.I exhaled slowly. “The morning after your scandal hit the press,” I said.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: What’s Left Behind

I heard her leave.The soft rustle of fabric, the gentle shift of sand under bare feet. No words. No lingering glances. Just the kind of silence that tells you everything you never wanted to know.I didn’t turn to look.I couldn’t.Because I knew, this time was different. This time wasn’t like the others, where anger or lust or confusion dragged us back into each other. This time, she had already made up her mind.Before she even touched me.Before she even kissed me like she meant it.Before she whispered that name.Victor.Sweet, she called him.A good man.And maybe he is. Maybe he always was. Maybe he’ll stay that way in her eyes, untouched by the truths she buries behind her ribs.I hope he does.God, I hope she never sees what I’ve seen in men like him, the rot that hides behind kindness, the shadows behind a gentle voice. I hope Victor keeps his hands clean. Keeps his promises. Keeps her happy.Because I won’t be the reason she stops believing in sweetness.So I lie there.Naked

Chapter Thirty: The Days After You

The days before my engagement passed in a blur of silence.I didn’t go anywhere. Didn’t answer my phone. Didn’t see Victor.I stayed in my studio, surrounded by unfinished canvases and unopened paint tubes. I let the world turn without me.There was music, always. Songs I didn’t know the lyrics to. Songs that said everything I couldn’t. Sometimes I danced, alone, barefoot, with wild, aching movements that meant nothing and everything. Sometimes I lay on the wooden floor and stared at the ceiling for hours, tracing the tiny cracks in the plaster like they might spell out a reason for all this.But mostly, I just… existed.I didn’t cry.Crying meant I understood what I’d lost.And I didn’t. Not fully. Not enough to name it.What was I grieving?A man who wasn’t mine? A mistake I kept repeating? A touch I’d sworn I’d never feel again and still craved like breath?It shouldn’t have felt like heartbreak.It was just sex.Just a secret. A shame.I was engaged to Victor.Sweet, devoted, smili
