Liam O’Grady is bored.
He looks down at the naked woman on her knees before him, a sophisticated socialite he has been shag*ing for a few months now. She is doing a very good job, he thinks, as she wriggles her skinny butt and looks up at him, begging for his approval. She has been a good little sub, he reflects as she sucks him hard, his thick member making her gag but she keeps on valiantly. And also because Liam has his large hand clamped on her head, holding her in place, unable to move. * Her pale behind is streaked with red, welts that his brother has laid across the skinny butt of the submissive they share. Finn St Just is a man who loves to mark his submissives, spanking them, using his belt on them… When she shudders, unable to breathe, Liam strokes her head and she continues happily. As he empties his load into her willing mouth, it’s more of a physical reaction. The desire is not there. With a sigh, he rises, smiling indulgently as she scrambles to her feet and grabs his arm, gasping, “Heath will be out during the weekend, Master. Shall we go somewhere?” She’s referring to her husband, the unfortunate Heath Douglas, who is unaware that his beautiful socialite wife is cuckolding him bigitme. Or maybe he knows. Liam O’Grady shrugs his powerful shoulders indifferently. & She bats her lashes coyly and adds, ‘Master Finn could come too if you wish.” The woman who had been s*cking his c*ck with such enthusiasm has been his submissive for the past few months. And yes, of course, the sub he has shared with his half-brother, Finn St Just. & They met at a kink club which Liam occasionally visited with his brother Finn St Just. The brothers have a habit of getting one woman to pleasure them. Both of them. Not something all women would be agreeable to, Finn had growled in his dour fashion but there have always been takers. & These days, however, Liam has felt that he wants something more than a submissive who gets onto her knees the minute he flicks his finger. He’s growing old, last month he turned thirty, he thinks pensively, scratching his powerfully muscled chest. And Finn, who is older by a year, also looks bored occasionally. Liam sighs; he wants, a small part of him, wants a home, a real woman… A woman waiting for him, and his brother of course; a home with kids…maybe? & He stops there, a cynical smile on his face. Any woman he took as his wife would have to agree to be shared with Finn. His half-brother. In bed. & That’s the code between them. His mother, Maggie had drilled it into him when he was a kid and Finn, older than him by a year, sat across the table, morose and dull, with his mop of dark golden hair. ‘You SHARE everything with your brother, Liam O’Grady,” she had said firmly, her hands on her large hips, her lovely face, creased in fat but still the kindest face ever, scowling at him. That was because on that occasion, he had refused to share his slice of shepherd’s pie with Finn. A hard knock on his head, a few harsh words and order was restored. His two-year-old self had agreed to his mother’s diktat. A lifelong commitment, as it turned out to be. & They grew up as thick as thieves, with Liam the hot-headed but astute one, the rough fighter on the streets, the leader; Finn his follower, protecting his brother’s back. Cool, but more of a man who kept to the background. If Liam O’Grady was light and charm, Finn St Just was the darkness, brooding, menacing. & Turned out their tastes in women were the same. So they agreed to an unusual arrangement. They shared their submissives. One woman at a time, with the both of them. No fuss, as Liam declared happily. Finn only grunted, his golden eyes glowing. But their submissives adored; nay worshipped them. And sometimes, they wept, they bawled when they were asked to leave. & Though what their long dead mother, Maggie O’Grady would have thought of the stuff her sons got up to in bed with one woman, would have scandalized her, he thinks. He pushes the thought away, aware that Helen Douglas is still looking at him, her heavily made-up face turned up to him, appealingly. & Liam O’Grady looks her in the eyes and says pleasantly, “I need to check, Helen.” And even as she stares after him, naked and confused, he has crossed to the bathroom door and shut it behind him firmly. He makes a call to his long-suffering secretary Diana Benz. “Boss?’ she asks in her sultry voice. Liam grins. Listening to her throaty, sexy drawl, no one would suspect her of being a sixty-year-old grandma. She sounds like a twenty-something hooker. ‘Helen Douglas’ he says and she sighs. her obvious infuriation is no mystery; he just finished severing a relationship with an upcoming journalist who was devastated when he dumped her. Poor old Benz, he thinks with a grin: she gets to do the hardest work!“Boss, give me a break. I just finished sending roses to Arpita Gandhi! The woman was bawling over the phone cos you dumped her!”
Liam grunts. He’s stepped into the shower and is not concerned about the women he has just used and discarded. They know the score, he tells himself shrugging. & Finn St Just looks around as his half-brother Liam O’Grady enters. Liam is freshly showered and smiling. Finn saw their shared sub of the moment, Helen Douglas, a senator’s secretary’s wife, being escorted off the grounds. She had been red-eyed and weeping, but Diana Benz had accompanied her to the car, like a caring grandma, and seen her off. He looks at his brother in exasperation. “Bro…?’ Liam holds up a hand. “I got to make some calls,” he winks at his brother as he strides off. &It was towards midnight the next day when Bianca received a short, one-line text from St Just. Her Masters had kept her informed, all throughout the operation. Cuddling Cian, who had a bit of a sniffle and was generally restless and clinging to her, Bianca turned on the dim bedside light and read the message. Her heart was pounding.Found Hila, it read. Safe. Alive.Just four words, but enough to make her clutch her son to her chest and sob in joy.*St Just and O’Grady stared at the bundle on the ground, which seemed to be just a heap of smelly clothes, if you didn’t look carefully. And the gloom in the room made it near impossible to see clearly. But the young woman, the firebrand who had kneed Rudy in his b*lls, had pushed past them, like a guard dog as she stood, facing them.Waving her gun, one that seemed oddly too big for her tiny figure.“Ye folk are the real thing, aren’t ye?” Her Irish brogue was pronounced as she glared at them, her large green eyes moving wildly from one f
Ria Delano was at her desk at Shangri La, going over the details of a conference that had just been held. Browsing the papers, she looked the picture of a working woman, thought her husband, the Capo, who had come in, silently, like a large panther. He would never get tired of looking at his wife, thought Philippe in admiration, his chest puffing out with love and pride. Ria wore a pair of tortoiseshell glasses, for her eyesight had suffered after the injuries she had received in the car crash, when she had lost her baby. Her long blonde hair was twisted into a messy bun on the top of her head, tendrils having escaped to frame her beautiful face. As Ria studied her phone and then flicked her eyes to the screen in front of her, she glanced up and noticed her husband. Leaning back and stretching, she arched her back and dimpled, taking off her glasses.“Don’t you have anything better than to stand at the door and gawk at me, Philippe the Capo?” she said, but her voice was teasing. A p
Serena opened her eyes slowly. She was still too weak to move. Her body ached; her mind was still in a state of fugue. She kept drifting in and out of consciousness.Her mind was in a fog. Thoughts drifted in and out of reach. Where was she? What had happened? Her body refused to move, her arms numb, her legs unresponsive. Panic rose in her chest until a soft hand found hers — warm, trembling, real.“It's okay,” the voice said again, closer now. He was crying. “You're safe now, love. You came back.”And then, slowly, like stars blinking into a night sky, memories began to return.Louis. Her beloved Louis.Serena turned her head ever so slightly, a monumental effort. Machines beeped softly around her. The hospital room was quiet, save for her labored breath and his. He was beside her, eyes red, clutching her hand as if it were the only real thing in the world.Tears slipped from the corners of her eyes. She was alive. Broken, weak, barely whole — but alive.And for now, that was enoug
Once Piers Delano took charge, things moved swiftly.And young Siobhan was also bundled along to the hospital, as someone informed her, despite her reluctance to go along with the strangers.Siobhan Sweeny was flustered. She never let anyone get to her, had never known what love was. As for making out, she had been too disgusted with the creeps who kept climbing into her bed when her ma was out, dead drunk, to want to chance it with a boy of her age. Fighting her mother’s suitors off ever since she had blossomed into a curvy young woman, with her long, dark hair and flashing green eyes, had made her curl her lips in disdain when her friends at school drooled over boys. Having seen and heard her Ma in bed with some of her men friends, Siobhan thought it looked and sounded gross.But the sight of the tall, broad man, older than her by a few years, in his twenties certainly, was making her behave in a way she had never reacted. When Rudolph had crashed onto her body, she had felt somet
Again, thought Claude, his eyes misting over, his father had said that before. What had he meant?Claude shut his eyes and tilted his head to heaven as his father growled on,“We need to find the leak. Get Paddy on it, boy.”The call ended.The second Delano son lowered his head, his shoulders slumping. A quiet desperation engulfed him. Nothing he ever did would come up to his father’s high standards, ever…Unlike Louis. Or Rudy, who was appreciated by Lucien Delano. And of course, Piers, the man who ran the mob with an iron hand, now. But he, Claude…? The big man sighed and lowered his head.If he did not know better, he thought bitterly, an unusually cynical smile touching his firm lips, he would ask himself if he was really a Delano. But his looks, mirroring his brothers and sisters, put that doubt to rest. And of course, he thought, his heart clenching, his Mumma would never… He wanted nothing more than to call his Mumma, to listen to her soothing voice. He felt he had f*cked
he hospital room was still, quiet except for the soft hum of the machines and the rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor. Pale morning light filtered through the half-drawn blinds, laying stripes of warmth across the woman's motionless form.Serena’s eyelids fluttered once, then again, longer this time, as if something deep inside her was stirring. The faintest crease formed on her brow. Her lips parted slightly, dry and cracked, but trying to shape a breath, a word, a question she didn’t yet remember.Inside her, awareness moved like a tide returning. First came the sound—the sterile buzz of the hospital, the faint echo of footsteps down the corridor, the steady pulse of her own heartbeat in her ears. Then the weight of her body registered, like waking from a long and heavy dream. Her fingers twitched, a subtle, nearly invisible movement.She didn’t open her eyes yet, but the world was no longer completely dark. Shapes floated behind her eyelids, shadows of memory, fragments of voices
