Lahat ng Kabanata ng Breaking Her Control: A Steamy Collection: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

I knew she was trouble the moment she didn’t smile at me. Most people smile. They either want something, or they want to be wanted.Mara Kade did neither. She stood in my living room like a storm cloud in tailored black with broad shoulders, steady eyes, hands clasped behind her back. The security firm had sent over a file after the latest threat letter.“She comes highly recommended,” my manager had said.Highly recommended didn’t cover it. She looked like she’d snap someone in half without raising her pulse.“I don’t need a bodyguard inside my house,” I told her.Her eyes swept the room once, calculating exits. “You do now.” She said with no flattery, no nerves and no starstruck hesitation.I smiled sweetly. “Do you know who I am?”“Yes.”“And?”“And you’re not as invincible as you think.”I almost laughed. No one talked to me like that, no one dared. I decided right then that I would make her crack.Film sets are chaos disguised as glamour. Mara moved through them like controlled v

I had just arrived at Clara’s house, expecting the usual warm greetings and laughter. But something felt… off. The front door was slightly ajar. I hesitated before I pushed it open quietly, stepping inside. The house smelled faintly of vanilla and summer air, but there was something else, something electric, lingering in the silence.Then I heard it. Soft, wet moans, coming from her bedroom. My breath caught. My feet carried me toward the sound, curiosity tangled with something much more primal.And there she was. Clara, on her bed, breasts exposed with her nipples hard with arousal, her white legs raised slightly at the knees with her fingers moving in slow, deliberate rhythm. Her eyes fluttered closed, lips parted, every shiver, every gasp pulling me in closer. My pulse spiked, desire curling low in my belly.I watched as she began to move her hips and I could see her pussy swollen and dripping her juices. It was a surreal moment. I think of leaving but I cannot move my legs from th

I didn’t intend to seduce my professor. I intended to challenge her.Dr. Evelyn Moreau had a reputation for being brilliant, composed, devastating in debate. Students either idolized her or feared her. I did neither and just watched her.The first time I disagreed with her interpretation of a text, the classroom went silent.“Desire,” she said coolly, “is most powerful when restrained.”I leaned back in my chair. “Or when it’s acknowledged.”Her eyes met mine sharp and assessing.“Careful,” she said. “Provocation is easy. Insight is harder.”A slow smile curved my mouth.“I never choose easy.”That was the beginning.I was older than most in the program. Confident enough not to shrink under her gaze and this unsettled her.Our debates became expected. Electric. The rest of the class faded whenever we spoke. She would circle my arguments like a predator testing strength.After one seminar, she called me to her office.The door closed softly behind me.“You enjoy challenging me,” she sa

The crowd roared like thunder, and I ignored it. My focus was on her—the impossible, infuriating, talented nightmare of a rival who somehow made me want to win and lose at the same time.Denise. The star guard of the opposing team. Every dribble, every shot, every sly smirk she threw my way was a challenge. And I accepted it every single time."You call that a crossover?" she taunted during warm-ups, brushing past me with a playful shove. Her body pressed close, sending a jolt straight down my spine. I swallowed, trying to hide the rush her presence always provoked."Better than you ever could," I shot back, grin matching her smirk.The media loved our rivalry. Interviews asked the same questions: Who’s the better player? Who has the stronger drive? Who will dominate this season? We answered politely, professionally, while secretly circling each other like predators.But there were moments, small, dangerous moments, when the court cleared, when the arena was empty and the crowd gone,

I hadn’t expected to see her again. Not after ten years, not at a wedding I almost skipped because of nerves and a recent divorce that had left me raw and unsure. And yet, there she was.Lila. She hadn’t changed much, though age had softened her edges. Her hair still curled rebelliously around her shoulders, and her eyes caught mine across the reception hall. She smiled, that smile that had once made my heart do stupid things in university, and suddenly the room felt smaller, hotter, impossible."I can’t believe it’s been ten years," she said when we finally met, voices low, away from the music and chatter. "You look… different. Strong. Beautiful.""Divorced," I murmured, more to myself than to her. "Finally… honest with myself, I guess."Her hand brushed mine. Sparks shot straight through me, just like they had when we were twenty, clumsy and awkward, learning each other’s bodies in stolen university library corners."I’m glad you’re here," she said softly, eyes scanning mine, search
