It’s this or charge across the room and ravish her on the floor. I’m barely in control of myself. My gaze darts over her, taking in every inch of creamy flesh. I follow a bead of water as it rolls down her chest, soaking into the towel, barely covering the swell of her tits.Will she run?Part of me hopes she does. I’d chase her down, and fuck her hard against the floor, just to teach her a lesson. She only hesitates a moment before taking the first step. That’s the hardest part, taking the first step into the unknown. But it’s not really the unknown that gets you; it’s the fear of leaving what you know, what you understand.Now she’s mine.She’s made her decision.She chose to obey, and now she is mine.“What I really came here for was to punish you,” I murmur as she crosses the room and stumbles over her feet at the announcement. “Don’t worry. That’s not what’s on my mind now.”“What is?” Her voice cracks, matching the fear in her eyes.“Come here, and I’ll show you.”Somehow, she tr
CaterinaHis words leave me questioning everything. Does he want just a physical connection, or is there something deeper here? I want to ask, but I’m afraid of adding more confusion to my already chaotic emotions. It feels like I’ve landed on a new, unfamiliar world.With Luciano, things were never like this—Gianni was right. As unsettling as it was to gag on him, it was also thrilling. Each compliment and thrust spurred me on to please him even more. I wanted to be the one who made him happy, who made him come.The salty tang of his cum still lingers on my tongue. Before now, I had never swallowed. It wasn’t half as bad as I expected. If anything, I feel closer to him than I ever did before. Even through the worst of it, we were in it together. He pushed my boundaries, but I wanted it.My thighs rub together, the insides slick with the juices of arousal by the time he helps me to my feet.Another first.Just having him in my mouth, listening to his grunts and the filthy things he said
“That’s right,” he mutters, wrapping the cuff around my left wrist, cinching the metal buckle until I wince from the pressure. “You need to learn, and this is the only way I can teach you.”I’m as confused as ever, even though my body’s all-in. Blood racing, skin flushed, the ache between my thighs so intense I could cry. If he doesn’t touch my pussy soon, I might die.“We need to break down those walls you’ve built around yourself,” he continues in a deceptively smooth voice, cuffing my left ankle, then my right. “You’ve spent your entire life telling yourself not to go too far. Haven’t you?”I nod, watching him test the strength of the restraints with a sharp tug. He’s efficient like he’s done this before. I guess if he has restraints lying around like this, it means he’s experienced.If I could pick anybody to introduce me to these dark delights, I’m glad it’s him. That thought eases the tension in my shoulders and back, making it easier to settle against the pile of pillows behind
GianniI’ve reached a new low: the world’s biggest asshole. I’m a total screw-up, a hopeless case. Why did I let it happen? The question haunted me as soon as I woke up before dawn to find Caterina’s head resting on my chest. Her gentle breathing, the sweet scent of her shampoo, and her hair brushing against my nose created a brief moment of pure happiness.For a fraction of a second, I was as content as I’ve ever been. Holding the world in my arms felt like everything I needed.What a fool I’ve been.By the time I step onto the treadmill in the gym, I’m seething at myself. I need a hard run to clear my mind from this mess I’ve created.I set a five-minute warm-up, starting slow to loosen my muscles before increasing the pace. Maybe I can outrun this guilt.What seemed complicated yesterday morning has spiraled into a complete mess, all because of my lack of impulse control. I’ve always had a knack for convincing myself to pursue what I want, even when I know it’s a mistake.Though I
“Mr. Rossetti, this is an extraordinarily generous donation,” Commissioner Ramsey says, staring at the sizable check I’ve just given him. “We’re truly at a loss for words.”“I didn’t expect a speech, Commissioner,” I reply with a neutral smile, extending my hand for a handshake. “Just your acknowledgment.” The real message is clear: Keep your distance from me and my associates.While I have no objection to charitable work, investing in the city is one of the most worthwhile causes I can think of. If I can achieve more than one goal with this gesture, so much the better.“You certainly have our gratitude,” he says, shaking my hand firmly while eyeing the check with evident disbelief.“The city will certainly benefit from this.”“There’s no question. This amount will address many of the city's issues.”“It’s nothing. I’m always ready to contribute.” I rise, adjust my jacket, and walk around the desk as Roger opens the office door. “If there’s anything else I can do, please let me know.
CaterinaAs I drive downtown to meet with my new boss for lunch, where I’ll finalize my contract and HR paperwork before starting my new job on Monday, I should be feeling excited. I was thrilled when they offered me the position initially. It represented my hard work paying off. While some classmates are still job-hunting, I’ve managed to secure a role right out of graduation, always the diligent student who follows the rules.I should be feeling grateful and content with how things are progressing in my life. Instead, I’m preoccupied with thoughts of Gianni, questioning whether what happened last night was wrong, and worrying about Tatiana finding out and potentially hating me. Luciano is a distant thought now, but Tatiana's possible disapproval would be a heartbreak I might never recover from. She’s like the sister I never had. Is it worth risking that for someone as extraordinary as her father?Incredible, attractive, and so adept at igniting my desires. Even hours after leaving h
The clock is ticking, so I hurry out of the car and into the building, pep-talking myself the entire time. Out of the elevator pours a group of people around my age, probably on their way to lunch at one of the cafes peppering the business district.I’ll be one of them soon.I feel nothing but boredom at the idea. No exhilaration, no eagerness to get started.Shake it off, damn it.Once I reach the tenth floor, I step up to the desk across from the elevator doors. “I’m here to see Eric Adams. We have a twelve-thirty appointment.”Once the perky girl behind the desk announces me through her headset and offers me a seat while I wait, I take a slow look around the open, sunny reception area. People walk past, carrying folders and tablets. A couple of guys discuss last night’s baseball game while they wait for the elevator.They’ll be my coworkers in a few days. I wonder if they ever question their choices. Everybody does, I guess, but we get through it. We honor our choices, and this was
GianniWhat’s taking Caterina so long to get home from work?I know it’s irrational. One physical encounter, and now I feel like she owes me an explanation for everything. I’m being ridiculous.The past few days have pushed my self-control to its limits. The constant push-and-pull, the battle between wanting her desperately and wanting what’s best for her, has created unbearable tension between us. It’s maddening to know how easily I can influence her, and I’m fighting not to give in to the urge to have her right there on the kitchen counter whenever we cross paths.Every moment I resist only makes her occupy more of my thoughts. She’s all I can think about.Today was her first day at her new job, but there’s no reason for her to stay late. It takes half an hour to get from town at this time of night, yet the beat-up Corolla she drives is still missing.And I’m ready to rip some fucking heads off.“Roger!” My bark brings him from his smaller office across the hall in record time. “How
