His gaze held mine, smoldering with an intensity that sent a wave of heat through me. This close, I could see flecks of gold in those mesmerizing green eyes.

"Let's get out of here," he murmured, his voice a low rumble against the backdrop of the club’s throbbing music. He gestured towards a hallway I hadn't noticed, partially hidden behind a velvet curtain.

My heart quickened. My logical side, the one that had survived five years in Manhattan, screamed at me to politely decline, to order an Uber and retreat to the safety of my apartment. But something in his gaze, a mix of command and raw desire, short-circuited all rational thought. Besides, hadn't I come here for a distraction? This was certainly distracting.

He must have mistaken my hesitation for reluctance, because a slow smile spread across his lips, making him even more devastating. "Don't worry," he chuckled, his voice a low purr in my ear. "It's not what you think. Unless you want it to be."

With that, he rose from his stool, all smooth power and effortless grace. He held out his hand, and without a word, I placed mine in his. His grip was firm, warm, sending a jolt of electricity straight up my arm. A thousand butterflies took flight in my stomach.

He led me through the throng of club-goers and into the hallway. The music faded slightly as we walked, replaced by hushed silence that felt both intimate and dangerous.

At the end of the hallway was a single door, painted a vibrant, seductive red. He paused, turning to face me, his expression unreadable.

"Before we go in," he said, cupping my cheek with one hand, his touch surprisingly gentle, "I'm going to fuck you. Are you okay with that?"

His words hung in the air, direct, unapologetic, and undeniably hot. There was no pretense, no sugarcoating, just raw, unadulterated desire. My breath hitched in my throat. He wanted an answer, a clear yes or no.

Part of me, the part that analyzed job descriptions and color-coded spreadsheets, wanted to laugh. This was insane. But the rest of me, the part that had been starved for this kind of intensity, the part that craved a release from the carefully constructed control of my life, whispered a single word, barely audible above the pounding of my heart:

"Yes."

And with that, he pushed open the red door, ushering me into a world of unknown pleasures.

The red room pulsed with a life of its own. A single, dim chandelier cast shadows that danced across the walls, the air thick with anticipation. My breath hitched as I took in the surroundings. A king-sized bed, covered in black satin sheets, dominated the room. My gaze drifted to the intricate metal chains hanging from the headboard, glinting ominously in the red light. A leather belt lay casually tossed on the nightstand, next to a wicked-looking assortment of new…toys. My cheeks burned. I’d never admit it, but the sight of them, the possibilities they hinted at, sent a thrill through me.

He closed the door behind us, the click echoing in the sudden silence. He turned to me, a knowing smirk playing on his lips. "Like what you see?" he murmured, his voice a husky caress.

"Maybe," I managed, my voice barely a whisper. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from him, from the way his white shirt stretched across his broad shoulders, from the intensity in his gaze that made my skin tingle.

Emboldened by the intoxicating atmosphere, I gestured towards the array of toys. "Are you… are you going to use those?" I asked, my voice laced with a nervous laugh that I hoped masked the tremor of excitement I felt.

His eyes darkened. "Only if you want me to," he said, stepping closer. His fingers brushed against my arm, sending shivers down my spine.

Desire, hot and urgent, coiled in my belly. All thoughts of interviews, of rejections, of my carefully constructed life in Los Angeles, evaporated. There was only this man, this moment, this promise of something wild and unknown.

He began to undress me slowly, deliberately, his gaze never leaving mine. With each button undone, each piece of clothing discarded, the anticipation built, a delicious torture. When he reached for the zipper of my dress, his fingers brushing against my bare skin, I gasped.

"You're so beautiful," he breathed, his voice rough with desire.

He pulled the dress down my body, and I stepped out of it, suddenly shy under his intense scrutiny. He was still fully clothed, but even the barrier of his shirt and slacks couldn't hide the raw power of his physique.

Without breaking eye contact, he unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a sculpted chest and a six-pack that belonged on the cover of a magazine. I couldn’t help but stare, my mouth going dry. He was even more breathtaking up close.

He chuckled, the sound sending shivers down my spine. "Like that?" he repeated, his voice husky.

I swallowed, my heart pounding against my ribs. "Yes," I whispered, reaching out to touch him.

He caught my hand, his touch sending a jolt of electricity through me. "Later," he promised, his voice low and seductive.

Then, he reached for the button of his slacks, and my breath hitched. As he pushed them down, revealing a pair of boxers that did little to conceal his impressive erection, my eyes widened. He was… enormous. A mixture of fear and excitement shot through me.

He moved towards me, and I braced myself for his touch, for the feel of his body against mine. This was happening. It was really happening.

He leaned down, his lips brushing against my ear. "Ready?" he whispered, his breath hot on my skin.

Suddenly, panic surged through me. I wasn't ready. Not for this.

"Wait," I blurted out, my voice catching in my throat.

He paused, his expression questioning. "What is it?"

I took a deep breath, my heart racing. "I… I have to tell you something," I stammered, my cheeks burning with shame. "I'm…" The words felt impossible to say, but I forced them out. "I'm a virgin."

The air crackled with tension. Mr Gorgeous (I still hadn't learnt his name) pulled back slightly, his expression shifting from desire to concern. "Um…," he said, his voice husky with regret, "I'm sorry, I didn't know. We don't have to do this."

I surprised myself with the wave of disappointment that crashed over me. But I knew, right then, that I didn't want him to stop. Not completely.

I reached for him, my fingers finding his jawline. The rasp of his stubble against my palm was surprisingly grounding. "Don't stop," I breathed, my voice trembling slightly. "I want this. I want you."

His eyes searched mine, looking for any sign of hesitation, any hint of doubt. "Are you sure?" he asked, his voice a low rumble. "I can be…intense."

A slow smile spread across my lips. The fear was still there, a knot of anxiety in my stomach, but it was overshadowed by a wave of almost reckless desire. "That's what I'm hoping for," I whispered, my gaze dropping to his lips. "Make me feel alive, Fuck me hard."

He took a deep breath, his chest expanding under my hand. "Okay," he said, his voice rough with emotion. "But we go slow. At your pace. No pressure, understand?"

I nodded, feeling a surge of gratitude for his understanding, for the way he was respecting my boundaries even as I was pushing them.

He gently pushed me back onto the bed, his movements both powerful and surprisingly gentle. His eyes never left mine as he dragged me towards the edge of the bed until I was half-lying, half-sitting, my heart pounding against my ribs. He knelt between my legs, his gaze intense as he surveyed my body.

“Such a beautiful view,” he murmured, his voice a low growl.

His touch sending shivers down my spine. His fingers brushed against my bare skin, lingering at the edge of my lace panties, already damp with anticipation.

“Already wet for me, huh?” he teased, his voice husky. He slipped a finger beneath the lace, stroking me gently. I gasped, my hips instinctively bucking towards his touch.

“Please,” I moaned, my voice breathy.

He chuckled, a low, seductive sound. “Shhh, baby,” he murmured, his thumb circling my clit. “Just relax. Let me take care of you.”

He added another finger, slowly stretching me, his touch firm but gentle. I arched into him, my moans growing louder as he found a sensitive spot deep inside me.

“You’re so tight, so wet,” he groaned, his breath hot on my skin. He continued to pleasure me with his fingers, each thrust sending waves of pleasure through me.

Then, without warning, he dipped his head and his tongue flicked against my clit. The sensation sent a jolt of electricity straight through me. I cried out, my back arching off the bed as a wave of pure, white-hot pleasure washed over me.

I’d never felt anything like it. My body, so long starved of this kind of attention, responded with a ferocity that surprised even me. My hands tangled in his hair, urging him closer as I rode out the wave of my orgasm, his name, daddy on my lips. He told me to call him daddy.

He didn’t stop, his tongue working magic against my sensitive flesh even as my climax subsided. When I finally caught my breath, he looked up at me, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction.

“Good girl,” he murmured, his voice rough with desire. He gave me a playful swat on my thigh. “See? You didn’t need those toys after all.”

A lazy grin spread across Luca’s face as he watched me come undone beneath his touch. He tasted of salt and desire, and I wanted more. Much more. But before I could voice the plea forming on my lips, he shifted, moving up my body. His chest pressed against my breasts as he trailed a path of kisses along my jawline.

"Not even close to done with you yet, sweetheart," he murmured, his voice a low rumble against my ear.

One of his hands settled on my breast, his fingers kneading the soft flesh as his thumb teased my nipple, sending shivers down my spine. His mouth moved to the other, swirling around the hardened peak, drawing out a gasp from my lips. The sensation of his tongue against my sensitive skin, combined with the gentle tug of his fingers, was intoxicating.

He lifted his head, his gaze meeting mine. "You like that, princess?" he asked, his voice husky.

"Yes," I breathed, my hips instinctively bucking up towards him, seeking more of his touch. The heat in his eyes intensified, and I knew, with a certainty that surprised me, that he was enjoying this just as much as I was.

“Good,” he growled, shifting his weight slightly. I felt the hard length of his erection pressing against my swollen clit, and a moan escaped my lips. The need for him, for his touch, for his body inside mine, was overwhelming.

“Daddy, please,” I begged, my voice barely a whisper. The word, unfamiliar yet somehow fitting, slipped out before I could stop it. “Daddy, please…”

A low chuckle vibrated in his chest. “Eager, aren’t you?” he murmured, his hand sliding down my stomach to settle possessively on my hip. His thumb traced circles against my heated skin, a silent promise of what was to come. “Don’t worry, sweetheart,” he whispered, his lips brushing against mine. “I’m gonna give you everything you want. And so much more.”

    A wave of heat washed over me as he shifted, his body aligning with mine. I felt the blunt tip of his cock pressing against my entrance, and a mixture of fear and anticipation coursed through me. He was so big, and I was so incredibly inexperienced. “Daddy,” I breathed, my voice trembling slightly. He paused, his gaze locking with mine. "It's okay, baby," he murmured, his voice a low rumble that seemed to vibrate through me. "I've got you."He leaned down, his lips brushing against mine as he began to stroke himself with his hands, slowly at first, then with increasing urgency. Each stroke brought him closer, the tip of his cock teasing my entrance, sending sparks of pleasure and a hint of delicious pain shooting through me."You feel so good," he groaned, his breath hot on my skin. "So fucking good." I guess he was imagining it was me.Then, without warning, he slammed into me, filling me completely or so I thought. A cry escaped my lips, a mixture of pain and pleasure so in

  • FORBIDDEN INTIMACY   Chapter 5 - DADDY?

    I woke up to an unfamiliar ceiling, disoriented and unsure of where I was for a moment. Luxurious, high-thread-count sheets caressed my skin, the scent of something expensive and masculine lingering in the air. Then, like a bolt of lightning, it all came rushing back. Mr Gorgeous. The club. The way my body had betrayed me, surrendering to his touch with an eagerness that still surprised me. My hand instinctively went to the space beside me, expecting to find it warm, but it was empty. Disappointment, sharp and unexpected, pierced through me. Had I really expected him to stay? He was quite the definition of a Playboy, tall, handsome, probably stupidly rich, for God’s sake, a man used to getting what he wanted and walking away without a backward glance. I turned on my side, burying my face in the pillow, inhaling his scent, and that’s when I saw it. A small, folded piece of paper resting on the bedside table. My heart skipped a beat as I reached for it, my fingers trembling s

    The air left my lungs in a rush, my carefully constructed composure shattering like thin ice. It was him. The man from the club. My "Daddy" for the night. And he was sitting behind a massive mahogany desk, the very picture of corporate power and authority. Mr. Rossi. The CEO. My mind reeled, replaying every stolen touch, every whispered word, every gasp and moan from our night together. My cheeks burned with the memory, shame and a thrill of something dangerous twisting in my gut. I stood frozen, my mouth slightly agape, my well-rehearsed introductory speech dissolving into a jumble of incoherent thoughts. He was watching me with an unreadable expression, a flicker of something akin to amusement dancing in the depths of his dark eyes. It was gone as quickly as it appeared. "Close your mouth, Miss…?" He arched a perfectly sculpted eyebrow, the gesture both condescending and undeniably attractive. He didn't remember my name. Of course, he didn't. "Please," he continued, his voic

    The hours melted away, consumed by spreadsheets, market reports, and the daunting task of familiarizing myself with the inner workings of Rossi Enterprises. By nine o'clock, my brain felt fried, and my stomach rumbled in protest. I decided to check in with Mr. Rossi before heading home.His office door was slightly ajar, a sliver of warm light spilling out into the otherwise dimly lit hallway. I knocked lightly, my heart doing a strange tap dance against my ribs as I waited for his response. “Come in.”His voice, even through the thick frosted glass door, sent a tremor through me. I pushed the door open and stepped inside, my gaze immediately drawn to the imposing figure behind the desk. He was working late, just like me, his brow furrowed in concentration as he reviewed a document.“Mr. Rossi,” I began, my voice hesitant. He looked up, his dark eyes meeting mine, and for a moment, the weight of his gaze stole the breath from my lungs. "Miss Vargas." He acknowledged me with a cu

    My chest loosened with each floor the elevator climbed, relief flooding me when I didn't see Mr. Rossi in the elevator. Maybe yesterday had just been a blip, an anomaly in the otherwise strictly professional dynamic we maintained.Settling into my desk, I tried to look at some work. By 8:25, I was brewing his coffee, the rich aroma filling the small office kitchen. At 8:30 sharp, I knocked on his door."Come in."His voice was as crisp and businesslike as ever. I entered, placing the steaming mug on his desk. “Here’s your coffee, Mr. Rossi.”“Thank you,” he said, his tone clipped but polite.Taking a deep breath, I decided to just get it over with. "Mr. Rossi, about the other night, the clothes and—"His head snapped up, his expression shuttered, devoid of any warmth. It was like he'd flipped a switch, all trace of the man from that night gone. "Miss Vargas, don't you think it's best to keep personal matters out of the workplace?"His words, delivered with an icy calm, were like a sla

    The meeting dragged on, each minute an eternity. I sat there, trying to appear composed, my mind racing with the promise Mr. Rossi had made. Every glance he sent my way, every subtle touch of his hand on the table, sent a jolt of anticipation through me. His hand, though, was a constant presence, a phantom beneath the table. I could feel the heat radiating from it, and the occasional brush against my leg sent shivers up my spine. He was playing a game, taunting me with the promise of his touch.The air in the room felt thick with tension. His hand, slipped under the table, found its way to my gown, tracing the delicate fabric, and sending a jolt of electricity through me. His fingers, bold yet gentle, moved up my thigh, reaching the edge of my panties. I held my breath, my body responding involuntarily to his touch, the sensation almost unbearable. My heart pounded in my chest, a mix of fear and excitement. I had to be careful, this was a business meeting, not a tryst. But I couldn'

    The city lights shimmered outside my penthouse windows, a glittering sea of neon and glass. But I couldn't see them. My gaze was fixed on the phone, my thumb tracing the edge of my silver case. I was on the phone with one of the estate managers, the one I had a contract with for high-end properties. "Anything available?" I asked, my voice clipped, the words barely a whisper above the city's hum. "Mr. Rossi, you know I only deal with the best. Right now, I have a stunning three-bedroom penthouse in Tribeca, but it's going fast. There's also a beautiful townhouse in Greenwich Village, but that one requires a full renovation. And then there's a lovely modern apartment on the Upper West Side…"I stopped him, "Just the penthouse in Tribeca."My thumb moved to the call-end button, but I paused, my mind racing. She didn't need a penthouse, but I wanted her to have the best. I hated this. I hated how this woman, my assistant, was getting under my skin. I was supposed to be above all this,

"Go wait in the car," he said, his voice as cool as the marble floor beneath my feet. I didn’t question him, just nodded and walked out, my stomach doing flips. The thought of being alone with him in his car was terrifying, exhilarating, and confusing all at once. I settled into the passenger seat, the leather cool against my skin. My eyes were drawn to the city lights twinkling outside the windows, a mesmerizing tapestry of color against the night sky. Then, I saw him, stepping out of the building. He moved with such grace, his aura radiating power and confidence. His movements were calculated, deliberate, like a predator stalking its prey. He was undeniably handsome, with chiseled features and a jawline that could cut glass.He was a man who demanded attention, and here I was, lost in my own internal turmoil. As he

Finally, I saw it. The car. Salvation. "We're here," Luca announced, as if I were blind."I can see that," I retorted, rolling my eyes."Honestly, I can't understand why you're complaining when you've been on my back all through the walk.""I'm complaining because I don't wanna be close to you," I snapped. The truth was, I was tired, and being this close to him was stirring up too many confusing feelings."That's bad. You're going to be in the car with me for a long time.""How long is the drive?""Two, three hours, and I plan on taking my time. So probably a lot longer.""Then you wouldn't be driving," I declared."Why not?""'Cause I'm going to be driving.""No, you won't be.""Yes, I would.""No, you wo-" Before he could finish that ridiculously childish argument, I balled my fists and whacked him on

    Luca's POVThe second the barrel connected with her head, her body went limp, her head lolling to the window. The adrenaline that was coursing through me moments ago dissipated instantly, replaced with a chilling calmness. Her outburst, the raw pain in her voice, it all had become a noise, a static I had to shut out. I had handled it badly, I know that, but she left me no choice. She could elicit any emotion from me and that's what pained me the most.I pulled over at the nearest pharmacy, my movements precise, almost mechanical. I grabbed some Advil and a sedative, just in case. She needed to sleep, and the way she was carrying on, I don't think that was going to happen naturally. I carefully lifted her from the car and moved her to the backseat before I settled in the front, starting the car and pulling out. I glanced back at her through the rearview mirror. Her face was pale, and I prayed the hit was enough to keep her out for a few more hours. I hated the thought of drugging her

My pulse quickened, and I quickly looked away, trying to convince myself it was just a trick of the light. But the pull was too strong, and I looked back, and there he was. It was actually him.He looked...disheveled, definitely not the put-together man I was used to. His hair was slightly messy, his eyes seemed tired, but he still managed to pull off the look. He was putting on a long brown coat, the collar turned up against the cold, and he had a cap pulled low over his head. Of course, he was still in a tailored suit. He lit a cigarette and stood, his back leaning against his car, his left leg crossed over his right as he took a puff of smoke. He looked like he was waiting for someone.A jolt of pain and joy flooded through me simultaneously. Was this a ghost? I tapped Marco's hand frantically, my heart pounding in my chest. “Is that Luca?”“I gues

Sleep was a luxury I couldn't afford no matter how hard I worked for it. The days blurred into a monotonous cycle of staring at the ceiling, replaying our last conversation, every moment, every look I'd shared with him and trying not to think about him. It wasn’t working. At all.A loud knock on my bedroom door startled me, snapping me out of my self-imposed trance. I dragged myself towards it, my reflection in the large bedroom mirror confirming my worst fears – I looked like I'd been dragged through a hedge backwards."You look like a fucking old witch, man," Marco said, his face contorted in disgust as he stood in the doorway. "I've been asking you for the longest time where Luca is, but you don't want to tell me. I know you know where he is. You just don't want to talk."

    Lena's POVThe sunrise crept into my room, a cruel reminder that another day had begun. Yesterday's curtains remained open, a testament to my chaotic state of mind. Sleep had been elusive; my brain relentlessly replaying the events of the past few hours. Luca… he didn't love me. Fuck no. I shook my head, wiping away at the tears that dared to spill. I'm not crying. Not today.After a while, I dragged myself out of bed and headed to the bathroom. The cool water on my face was a small comfort. The shower, hot and steamy, washed away the lingering residue of the night's turmoil. Once I was clean and dry, I indulged in a little skincare routine – a small act of self-care in the midst of the chaos. I slipped into a comfy baggy shirt and shorts and made my way downstairs.It was early, the kitchen clock read 6:40 AM. The house was still quiet. I perched on the kitchen counter, gazing out the massive window overlooking the garden. The trees were vibrant green, the flowers a riot of baby pin

    Lena's POV I stirred, the car a stifling cage. I was almost attached to the door handle, the urge to escape overwhelming. I couldn’t bring myself to be near Luca. He’d rejected me. Outright rejected me. And here I was, thinking he felt the same way I did. I was in love with him. Completely, utterly, hopelessly in love. And it felt like my heart had been ripped out and stomped on. The pain was sharp, a physical wound in my chest. Why did he do all those things, say all those things, make me feel the way he did, if he knew he didn't feel it too?The ride was agonizingly long. My tears eventually subsided, replaced by a dull ache, a cold dread settling in my chest. Fuck. How could he say those things and not even apologize? Maybe he meant it. Yes, he definitely meant it. Luca never lied; he only ever said what he meant. The realization hit me like another wave of grief. If he said he didn't love me, then it was true.Finally, we arrived at the house.
