All Chapters of Just One Night to Own Me, Daddies: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

JANICEThe morning light filtered through the sheer curtains, casting a soft golden glow across the room. I woke up feeling slightly light-headed, probably from the restless night and the emotional weight still sitting on my chest.My body felt all shades of heavy and wrong, but I forced myself out of bed. This was still a work trip, which meant I had a job to do.After a quick shower, I dressed in a light cream blouse and a fitted beige skirt—appropriate for the tropical heat. When I stepped into the dining area of our wing, where I found Nancy already wide awake and chatting animatedly over breakfast.She was sitting between Aiden and Lucian, laughing at something Lucian had just said. A beautiful spread of fresh fruits, pastries, eggs, and juices covered the table. Calder was nowhere to be seen.Again.Not like it mattered anyway.“Good morning, Miss Cross,” Aiden greeted me, his eyes scanning me from head to tow.“Good morning, sir,” I replied, trying to sound normal.Nancy beamed

JANICE“It’s time for us to have some fun, darling.”Calder’s voice was low and dark, dripping with dark promise. He stood over me like a storm about to break, the leather whip dangling from his fingers, the tails brushing teasingly over my bare thigh.I gulped.“I’ve wanted to use this on you for so long,” he murmured, eyes raking over my body in the sheer white lace. “I’ve imagined how your skin would look marked up for me. How you’d sound when you’re hurting and dripping at the same time.” He tilted his head. “Do you think you’ll love pain, darling? I hope you do… I don’t plan on being gentle at all.”A shiver ran through me. My nipples were painfully hard against the transparent fabric, and I could already feel myself getting wetter.How on earth was Calder going to take me seriously when my body gave him this reaction? How on earth was I supposed to take myself seriously?“Calder… please,” I whispered, my voice shaking. “I don’t know if there is anything I can do what…”“You can,

LUCIANThe private cinema room was the perfect place for discretion. With the soft ambient lighting cinema, deep reclining seats arranged in tiers, and a massive screen that took over the other side of the wall.Nancy had chosen an animated movie that had a lot of singing and dancing animals, filling the space with this innocence that felt almost ironic given the conversation happening in the back row.Every few minutes the teenager would laugh at something on screen, the sound so light and genuine that it got me studying her profile from the corner of my eye.When it came to the issue of physical resemblance, there wasn’t much between her and her brat of a sister. Nancy might still be a teenager, but I had this sixth sense that she wouldn’t be losing any form of that carefree energy that Janice probably never had. She also had a softer, rounder face with bright eyes. She was a doll.Probably why it was so easy for anyone who met her to fall in love with her.She looked more like her

JANICE“Are you fucking Calder?”That was the last question I expected to hear from Aiden, but the man had always been horribly perceptive so I probably shouldn’t be surprised. If Calder had actually wanted to continue fucking me in secret, with only Lucian knowing then he shouldn’t have used that whip on me.“What?” I gasped.“Janice, you can’t let me ask you this same question multiple times,” Aiden scoffed. I take a step backwards, trying to put enough distance between the man and myself. “Are you fucking Calder?”Aiden’s question hung in the warm night air like a blade pressed against my throat. The ocean roared softly below, but all I could hear was the pounding of my own heart.I didn’t know what to say.What Calder and I had do was supposed to remain filthy and private between us, if I wanted to continue.Did I want it to continue? I had no idea.I clenched my jaw, trying to steady my breathing. I didn’t like the way Aiden was looking at me. “Yes,” I finally whispered. My voic

JANICEOnce again, I had to stare at spreadsheets.I stared at this particular one until the numbers blurred together. My eyes burned. I’d been back at the office for three days, and it already felt like the vacation had happened in another lifetime.So my body was here, clicking through emails and pretending to update client reports, but my mind kept drifting back to that damn estate and everything it gave to me.The basement. The rooms. The three masked men and the way they had used me until I couldn’t think straight.This was work, Janice. Focus.A heavy sigh escaped me. I was exhausted in the best and worst ways. It had only been a few days since we came back so my body still carried faint bruises from where they had gripped me hard, and sitting for long hours made certain sore places throb with the wicked memory.“Janice? Earth to Janice.”Ughh. I blinked and looked up. Aisha was standing by the door of my office. When had she come in? She grinned, eyes scanning my face.“Girl, w
