Liora VossI woke slowly, wrapped in the soft scent of Luther.His shirt — the one I’d stolen after waking up alone — clung to my body like a warm embrace. The fabric was oversized, falling to mid-thigh, carrying the faint mix of his cologne, gunpowder, and that unmistakable masculine warmth that always made my stomach tighten. I stretched lazily, feeling the pleasant ache between my legs and the faint soreness on my ass from Zedekiah’s punishment the night before.The room was quiet, bathed in soft morning light filtering through heavy dark curtains. For a moment, I allowed myself to just lie there, staring at the ceiling. My mind replayed everything.Zedekiah’s hands. The bite of the clamps. The way he had fucked me like he wanted to break me… and the te

Luther GreenI leaned against the wall of the office, arms crossed, eyes locked on the security footage playing across the screens. The cold blue light cast ghostly shadows over my face, but it did nothing to cool the burning rage inside me.There she was.Liora.Lying by the pool in nothing but the tiny blue bikini bottom, breasts completely exposed to the sun, the silver collar with Zedekiah’s initials gleamed at her throat. Beautiful. Vulnerable. Ours.And one of our own soldiers had dared to stare. Not just stared—he had laughed, zoomed in with his phone, and shown the video to two others, like she was some cheap entertainment.My blood tu

Liora VossThe week passed faster than I expected.I didn’t even have to suggest the party — Clara and Maya came up with the idea themselves, and Ava, though quieter, didn’t oppose it. Now I was inside the Kensington mansion, surrounded by pulsing music, laughter, and the chaotic energy of rich teenagers finally free from parental supervision.The electronic beat throbbed through the walls, mixing with shouts and laughter. Colored lights swept across the rooms, casting moving patterns on faces flushed with alcohol. The air was thick with the smell of mixed drinks, weed, expensive perfume, and sweat. The party had spilled out to the massive pool area, where people were already jumping in fully clothed, screaming and splashing under the neon lights.Jake and Kane stayed outsid

Liora VossI couldn’t breathe.The confession still rang in my ears like a gunshot.“I killed her.”Luther had murdered the woman he loved because he thought she had betrayed him. The same man who held me so possessively, who whispered that I was his, had ended the life of someone he once cared for.I ran.My bare feet slapped against the cold floor as I fled down the hallway, my heart hammering. I didn’t know where I was going until I pushed open Noah’s door.He was already in bed, reading something on his tablet. When he saw me, surprise flashed across his face, quickly replaced by concern.

Noah GreenAfter sharing the dark memories of my childhood with Liora, something shifted between us.I hadn’t planned to tell her about the streets—the hunger, the cold nights curled in cardboard boxes, the way people looked at me like I was less than human. But the way she listened, without pity, just quiet understanding… It loosened something I had kept locked away for years.When we returned to the mansion, the kitchen smelled of fresh herbs, caramelized onions, and slow-simmering tomato sauce. Liora stood beside me at the counter, sleeves of my shirt rolled up, chopping vegetables with surprising focus. Every time she reached for something, the fabric shifted, revealing glimpses of smooth skin that made it difficult to concentrate on dinner.“You know I never clai
