Nicole Harper ~•~The next few days were even harder than the last. I was the one avoiding Tristan this time.Mike texted me regularly, but anytime he did, I recalled how I’d gone home after our date and let Tristan touch me how he wanted to. The memory of Mike was now stained with Tristan too. The man had a way of creeping into every part of my life.I even went out on a second date with Mike that Friday, but I spent the whole time in the theatre thinking about Tristan. If I’d been in the theatre with Tristan, I didn’t doubt that his hands would be in my panties at some point. The man was unhinged and somehow, that was the way I liked it.Saturday was such a drag. I had nothing to do but still spent the entire day in my room. I went down for dinner and went back up when it was time to sleep, but sleep evaded me.I tried to watch a few of my favorite shows but none of them brought me the comfort they usually did. I was very much distracted and there was nothing I could do about it.I

Nicole Harper~•~Tristan’s mouth crashed back onto mine like he’d been starving for it.The kiss was nothing like the careful, testing ones from before. This one was hungry without room for second thoughts. His hands were already everywhere. One was wrapped around my waist, the other sliding down to grip my ass, pulling me flush against him so there was no space left between our bodies. I should have stopped him. I should have shoved him away again. Instead, my fingers dug into his shoulders and I kissed him back like I was starving because I indeed was starving for days.He groaned low in his throat and turned us around, walking us backward until my back hit the smooth tiled wall of the pool. The impact pushed a gasp out of me. He swallowed it and angled his head deeper, his tongue stroking mine in a rhythm that felt filthy.He showed one of his thighs in between mine, pressing up against my core. I whimpered into his mouth at the sudden friction, my hips rolling forward on instinc

Nicole Harper ~•~ Tristan was an animal. I stood naked in front of my mirror, unable to believe the amount of bruises he’d left on me. There were numerous hickeys on my neck as well as my chest that had darkened into deep purple. My hips were bruised from his hard grip last night. My mouth was still swollen and my back had red lines from pressing into the pool wall. My legs were weak and my pussy was sore. He’d fucked me last night like he wanted to ravage my body and he did. I’d never slept with a man who was so interested in a woman’s body. And he was doing it for my pleasure, not his. I didn’t know how to face him. I didn’t know how to face my mother. I didn’t want to go downstairs at all, but then I remembered a very chilling detail. I’d let Tristan release inside me. I didn’t waste any more time staring at myself. I got showered, wore the largest hoodie I could find, paired with a pair of shorts. I used makeup to cover the visible bruises before I rushed out of the h

Nicole Harper~•~I paced around the room, my hoodie zipped up to my chin, shorts clinging to my already damp panties purely from the waiting. The door was unlocked, just like he’d said. My heart was beating so loud that I feared my mom would hear from her room next to mine. Had she left already? How long had I been waiting for? He sure took his sweet time coming up. Was he even going to come at all?What was I doing?I knew that the moment I gave in last night, I’d basically surrendered myself to him, consequences be damned, but it wasn’t easy to give this up. I didn’t know the kind of hold he had over me but I didn’t see myself letting go anytime soon.And now I was waiting for my stepfather to sneak into my bedroom while I didn’t even know whether or not my mother was still around or if she had gone to the spa.The logical thing to do was to lock the door, tell him no, and pretend I’d changed my mind.But I didn’t. I physically couldn’t bring myself to do it. I’d had sex before but

Tristan Michelson~•~What I said about having other choices was wrong.I had no other choice. Nicole was the only woman I was interested in. I couldn’t tell if I genuinely liked or if I liked fucking her, but the latter was all I wanted.At the end of the day, I was still married to her mother. I couldn’t ruin my reputation by falling in love with her daughter, not when I hadn’t secured my position yet. Love made people do stupid things. I wasn’t going to let it interfere with my career.We’d be fine as long as we never got caught.A hand on my back pulled me out of my thoughts. “You’re bleeding, Tristan,” Sebastian said.“What?”“You’re actually bleeding,” Nico added, also staring at my back.“I’ll go get the first aid box,” Julian said and went into his house.I frowned. I didn’t remember running into anything or getting injured. Where the hell was the blood coming from? Without hesitation, I took off my shirt to see that the blood had soaked part of it. I tried to look at my back

Nicole Harper~•~My thighs were even sorer after Tristan left.I’d been scolding myself for going to him in the pool yet I still listened when he told me to go upstairs and wait for him.What the fuck was I even doing?I didn’t dare go downstairs that night. Thankfully, Tristan’s barbecue always ran late so there was no forced dinner tonight. I didn’t even think I could keep doing that shit with them. I would tell my mom I wasn’t interested in their dinners but I felt way too guilty to face her at the moment.By the next morning, I could finally walk properly, and thankfully so because I didn’t want to be walking around funny in the office.I got up, showered, and got dressed. I was putting on my shoes when my phone suddenly buzzed with a text. I picked it up from the bed.[Tristan: wear something easy to access.]I scoffed at his text. He had a lot of audacity, didn’t he? I didn’t bother to respond and just resumed wearing my shoes. I was already wearing pants and I’d be damned if I

Tristan Michelson~•~Nicole found something to busy herself with before we even got to the elevator. Could she immediately feel the tension between us?“If I knew she was going to be present at the wedding, I would have shown up.”Sebastian couldn’t go a full minute without running his mouth. It irritated me. Even worse, it irritated me that he shared a name with my friend. I couldn’t decide whether to hate the name or not. “She wasn’t at the wedding,” I said dryly as we stepped into the elevator together. Several employees stared at us in surprise because it wasn’t every day we managed to exist peacefully in front of each other. That wouldn’t last for long though especially if he kept talking about Nicole like that.“So you didn’t know about her until you got married to Lily?”“I did and you really didn’t come to me to discuss my marital life, did you?”“Business talk will be discussed in the office. We can talk about our personal lives first.”I didn’t respond to him because I knew

Nicole Harper~•~When the door behind me was banged closed harshly, I jumped slightly in my seat and turned around to look just in time to see Sebastian. I’d never seen anyone bang Tristan’s door. What did they discuss that had him heated? I’d noticed Tristan didn’t like Sebastian very much. Was it also vice versa?Accidentally, my eyes met Sebastian’s and I immediately turned back around, pretending to focus on my non-existent work. Unfortunately, the man had my time today.He stood in front of my desk, forcing me to look up at him. I forced a smile. “Good morning, sir.”If he was Tristan’s cousin, then he must be the head of the games company which occupied the first nineteen floors. He had a lot of authority and I didn’t want to come off as disrespectful.Some of my colleagues glanced at me but they didn’t keep their eyes on me for long. Everyone lowered their gaze and went back to work. So I was on my own.“Nicole, is it?” I nodded. “Lily’s daughter?” He questioned even if we had

Nicole Harper~•~Tristan kept his distance from me for the rest of the week.Well, not entirely.He gave me work to do, supervised me personally, and even had me follow him to business dinners at some point during the week, but he never initiated sex.It was quite embarrassing to admit but it bothered me.I couldn’t tell if he was still angry at me. He interacted well with me when it came to work but there was barely any space to talk about anything else. If he was punishing me for rejecting his words, then it was definitely working.I wanted him badly. I felt guilty, but since we’d already done it thrice, there was no use pretending to be moral anymore. Three times, ten times, there was no difference. And the more I had him, the more I wanted him. I didn’t know how long our illicit relationship would last, but I wanted to make the most of it. How could I do that when he was clearly avoiding me?“If a man who owns a house as big as this wants me, I’d be spreading my legs too. I don’

Tristan Michelson~•~Lily was made for this life, which was exactly why I married her, but if I had known I’d end up fucking her daughter, I would have chosen another woman to marry.That was besides the point.Lily hadn’t grown up rich, but she knew how to blend in with them perfectly. Aside from the fact that she had immaculate taste, she knew when to flatter a person and when not to. I guess she was only simple-minded when it came to her daughter.The pair of women didn’t have the best relationship, but I could see that they were trying.I was going off point again.The point was that I was tired of this gala, but Lily looked like she was gearing up for the after party. She was the only reason I’d even attended the party and after a few hours of mingling, I was over it.However, Lily thought it was good to know a lot of people in case I needed something and none of my contacts could deliver. She wasn’t wrong, which was another reason why she fit so well with them.I watched her as
