Her lips found mine again, slower this time, deeper. The kiss was full of promise and aching tenderness. Her hand slipped under my night dress, warm palm gliding over my stomach and up to cup my breast. When her thumb circled my nipple, I arched into her with a soft cry.I was soaked. My clit throbbed painfully with every heartbeat, begging for attention I didn’t know how to ask for. My hands grew bolder, pushing her shirt higher until she sat up just long enough to pull it off. The sight of her bare breasts in the dim light made my mouth go dry. She really had beautiful breasts.Mackline lowered herself again, skin to skin. The feeling of her breasts pressing against mine was electric. She kissed down my neck, sucking lightly at my pulse point, then lower, until her hot mouth closed over my nipple. I moaned, loud and shameless, my fingers threading through her red-streaked hair.One of her hands slid down my body, tracing the waistband of my pants. She paused there, lips brushing my s

I don't know how long I stayed curled into a tight ball on the floor maybe minutes, maybe an hour but eventually I heard the footsteps and that made me startle.My heart seized as I scrambled to my feet, wiping frantically at my wet cheeks, trying to make myself presentable, trying to erase any evidence that I had been crying. But there was no time. The footsteps stopped outside my door then suddenly the door was opened.And there he stood. His white shirt was rumpled, his jaw shadowed with stubble, his gold eyes bloodshot and hard. He looked like hell. And he was staring at me like I was the reason."We need to talk," he said roughly. It wasn't a suggestion. Before I could reply, he pushed past me into the room without waiting for an invitation, and my panic spiked so violently I thought I might vomit. He knew. Oh god, he knew. Mackline had told him, or he'd walked past my room last night and heard us, or..."Close the door," he ordered.My hands shook as I obeyed. The click of the la

I leaned against the closed door, my back pressed to the wood, and let out a breath I didn't know I'd been holding. The silence of the room wrapped around me like a blanket, heavy and suffocating all at once.Mackline hadn't followed me. I didn't know if that was a relief or not.The shower was the only place I could go where no one would follow. Where I could let the water drown out the noise in my head. I turned the handle as hot as I could stand it and stepped under the spray, hissing as the heat hit my skin.I scrubbed. Hard. My arms, my legs, my stomach, places Nigel had touched, places Mackline had touched, places I didn't want to think about anymore. The soap stung my eyes, and I welcomed it. At least that pain made sense.The bathroom filled with steam, and I stood there until my fingers pruned and the water started to run cold. I wanted to stay longer. I wanted to disappear down the drain and reform somewhere far away from here.But I couldn't.I stepped out and wrapped a towe

Raymond’s footsteps faded down the hall, leaving only silence and the heavy scent of his dominance lingering in my room like smoke. I stood there shaking, fists still clenched so tight my nails bit into my palms. The words “slave like you” echoed in my skull, mixing with Carleigh’s cruel laughter and the shattering of glass from the dining hall.I couldn’t breathe.My mother. Tomorrow. I wasn't going to meet her. All because I finally snapped.The walls felt like they were closing in. Raymond’s house. Raymond’s rules. Raymond’s perfect new Luna waiting to take my place. I was suffocating.Mackline.Her name rose unbidden, sharp and desperate. The only person who had looked at me like I mattered. The only one who had touched me like I was wanted, not owned. Even after everything I’d said to her this morning… I needed her. I hated myself for it, but I needed her.I wiped my face roughly and slipped out of my room before I could think better of it. The hallway was dim and quiet. My bare f

Mackline held me steady under the water for a few more moments, her arms wrapped tightly around my waist as I trembled through the aftershocks. Then, with surprising strength, she reached behind me and turned off the shower. She scooped me up effortlessly, one arm under my knees and the other around my back, carrying my dripping, naked body out of the bathroom.I buried my face in her neck, still catching my breath, as she laid me gently on her bed. The sheets quickly grew damp beneath us, but neither of us cared. Mackline climbed in beside me and pulled me close, our bare bodies pressing together in a warm, intimate tangle. Her leg slid between mine, and I felt the soft brush of her hair covered pussy against my sensitive thigh as we settled.We lay there in silence for a while, just breathing, her fingers tracing slow circles on my back.“Aurora…” she finally whispered, her voice soft and serious against my hair. “Talk to me. What happened tonight? You came in here looking complete
