Hesitantly, I emerged from my hiding spot beneath Olivia's desk, her smirk cutting through the tension like a knife. Why did I have to find myself in this predicament?

"H-how did you know I was in the room?" I stammered, my voice betraying my nerves.

"I think the more important question is why are you here, Lily?" Olivia's glare bore into me, her eyes sharp with accusation.

"You know exactly why I'm here, Olivia," I retorted, summoning whatever courage I could muster. I couldn't let her intimidation tactics deter me. I knew she had taken my files, and I needed them back.

"Because you think I might've taken those important files of yours? So what if I did?" Her laughter echoed through the room, sending shivers down my spine.

"You know those files don't belong to you, Olivia. Now, I need you to hand them back to me, and maybe I won't feel compelled to inform our bosses about your actions," I demanded, my voice steady despite the fear gnawing at my insides.

  • Forbidden Thirst   18. What did I do?

    The twins strictly told me not to go to work today. Initially, I refused, but they were determined to make me stay home, and in the end, I had to agree with them.They decided to continue paying me even though I wouldn’t be at work. Instead, I would be attending a dinner meeting with my bosses, including Olivia, tonight.Although I didn't have much money, I decided to buy a dress for the meeting since I had nothing suitable to wear.I bought a long black dress with long sleeves. It was a V-neck dress with a high split up to my left thigh. It was stunning. I also decided to straighten my hair from its natural curls and add some makeup.I opted for a smoky eye look and tied my hair in a ponytail at the back.I admired myself in the mirror before heading out to the dinner meeting. Hunter and Hayden insisted that I take the company car.When I arrived at the Holiday Inn hotel, I was awestruck by its beauty. I had only ever seen such magnificent hotels on TV. Most of my experiences were fr

  • Forbidden Thirst   19. Hurtful words.

    "What the hell have you done with yourself, Lily?" Hayden cursed, his harsh words slicing through the air and exacerbating my already frazzled nerves and anxiety."W-what do you mean?" I stuttered, my voice trembling as I recoiled from his aggressive tone. I didn't like the way he spoke to me; it made me feel small and unworthy."What did you do to your hair, Lily? But more importantly, why are you wearing a dress with a slit this high, showing so much to everyone?" Hunter asked, his voice deceptively calm, but the dangerous glint in his eyes betrayed his true feelings.I had put on this dress and straightened my hair in an attempt to impress them, hoping they would notice the effort I had made. But now, seeing their reactions, it was clear that they didn't appreciate it the way I had hoped."I didn’t think the dress would be such a big deal, and I only flat ironed my hair," I explained, my voice barely above a whisper. I didn't understand why they were making such a fuss about my appe

  • Forbidden Thirst   20. Consequences.

    The next day, as we rode to work together, I made a deliberate effort to ignore Hayden and Hunter. I couldn't bring myself to face them after the events of the previous day. The looming task of handing in the documents containing the Sterling franchise details added to my apprehension. I dreaded what the outcome would be, hoping against hope that everything wouldn't turn out for the worse.Thankfully, my hair had reverted to its natural state, a small comfort amidst the chaos that awaited me at the office.I later learned that the meeting had ended abruptly after I left for the bathroom. The twins had given the two men one last chance to come up with a better proposal after my outburst. Despite the looming possibility of being fired due to my perceived incompetence, I couldn't shake off my anger towards the twins, especially Hayden. I had expected at least an apology from him, but it seemed they were too prideful to admit any wrongdoing.I had once admired them greatly, not only for th

    "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while," Dillon said, his voice filled with concern. But before he could finish speaking, I wrapped my arms around him, my tears flowing freely as I released all the pent-up emotions I had been holding in.As expected, Dillon held me tightly, his comforting presence a balm to my wounded soul. He gently patted my back, murmuring soothing words as I cried into his chest."Hey, what's gotten into you?" he asked, his concern deepening as he lifted my head from his chest to meet his gaze, his eyes searching mine for answers."Just hold me," I whispered, my voice barely above a whisper, as I continued to cry against him.We had planned to eat at a nearby restaurant, but seeing me in such distress, Dillon decided to change our plans and took me to the park instead, where it was quieter and less crowded.After what felt like an eternity of crying, I finally felt some semblance of peace wash over me. I looked up at Dillon with my now puffy eyes, remembering the kis

    Hunter's seemingly pleasant tone sent a chill down my spine as he referred to me as "our pretty little dear." It was a pet name that felt strangely unsettling coming from such dominant men, causing my heart to flutter nervously.The atmosphere in the room shifted suddenly, becoming tense and ominous, as Hunter's words about Dillon being my boyfriend hung in the air. How did they know about Dillon? Had they been spying on me?"H-how do you know about Dillon being my boyfriend?" I stammered, my mind racing with questions. It wasn't just the invasion of my privacy that bothered me; it was the realization that my personal life was somehow intertwined with my professional one."A personal assistant of mine goes wandering about the streets of New York, knowing full well that she works for a very successful company and that she's an easy target for capturing and soliciting information from," Hunter's glare bore into me, his words dripping with accusation."And you weren't even aware of your

  • Forbidden Thirst   23. My place.

    My mom opened the door, her expression a mix of annoyance and relief as she pulled me into one of her bone-crushing hugs. Her curly hair was pulled back into a bun, a telltale sign that she had been busy baking, one of her favorite pastimes.I glanced eagerly at the kitchen counter, where the tantalizing aroma of freshly baked chocolate mocha cake filled the air. My mouth watered at the sight of the cake, its surface adorned with a layer of decadent icing.But before I could reach for a knife to cut myself a slice, my mom slapped my hand away, her expression stern."Mom!" I protested, feigning innocence, though I knew exactly why she was upset."That's for ignoring me the entire week!" she fumed, her tone leaving no room for argument."Mom, I haven't been ignoring you. I've made sure to text and sometimes call you whenever I can," I protested, genuine concern in my voice as I tried to placate her."Well, it wasn't enough," she replied stubbornly, her expression softening slightly as s

    I immediately set the fork down, my hand trembling slightly as a wave of disbelief washed over me. Why, out of all days, did Dillon choose today to invite himself over?"Dillon, what... what are you doing here?" My voice quivered nervously as I struggled to comprehend the sudden intrusion.The twins, ever composed, remained seated, seemingly unperturbed by the unexpected visit. Dillon, however, wore a distinct glare aimed in their direction. Mom, standing nearby, appeared outwardly unfazed by the situation, though I could have sworn I detected a fleeting hint of surprise in her expression, swiftly masked."I knew you'd be here today, so I decided to drop by and spend some quality time with you," Dillon remarked, his gaze still fixed on the twins.But why now, of all times?"I, uh... These are my bosses, Hunter and Hayden. Gentlemen, meet Dillon, a friend of mine," I stammered out the introduction, my nerves palpable."Nice to meet you," Dillon extended his hand towards Hunter.

    Lily's Mom PovI sat in front of my daughter's two bosses, my arms crossed tightly against my chest. Never in my wildest dreams had I imagined Lily's future would come to this.I scrutinized their behavior closely, noting their possessiveness, kindness, care, concern, clinginess, and unmistakable jealousy. Lily seemed oblivious to it all, but I picked up on it within minutes of meeting them.Still seething with anger over Dillon's reckless actions, I couldn't fathom how he could have thought it acceptable to take my daughter to a club, get her drunk, and then abandon her. I had always believed he knew better.Thankfully, Lily had gone for a walk to clear her mind, leaving me alone to address her bosses in private, without any interruptions."It will not happen," I stated firmly, ignoring their attempts to feign innocence. I didn't care how powerful or influential they were; this was my daughter's happiness at stake."I don't understand, Miss Daisy," Hayden feigned ignorance."I'm not

    “Hunter, baby…” Before Victoria could continue, Hunter cut her off sharply.“In my office. Now,” he said, his voice brooking no argument.I shot her a glare for the pet name she used for Hunter and then directed the same fierce look at Hunter for taking this murderer into his office. Hayden, meanwhile, glared at me as if I were somehow at fault, even though I had done nothing wrong.Once Victoria had left with the two men trailing behind her, I exhaled in relief, realizing I hadn’t even noticed I’d been holding my breath. The tension in the room seemed to dissipate, leaving me feeling slightly less anxious.“You alright?” Olivia’s question startled me.I turned to her, surprised by the concern in her eyes. “Don’t give me that look. I know how Victoria can be—she’s always been vindictive. She used to bully me whenever she got the chance back when she and Hunter were

    Lily's POV..............I wasn’t supposed to be at work today. The twins had generously given me some time off to cope with the loss of my best friend, Dillon. I should have taken the time to grieve in peace, but the ache inside me felt too overwhelming. I couldn’t stand being at home, consumed by my own sorrow. I needed to do something—anything—to distract myself and find some semblance of normalcy. And for me, that meant being around the twins.I knew they would be displeased to see me at the office, but I couldn’t help it. The space felt oddly comforting, even as it reminded me of Dillon. The twins had a full schedule today, but they were dealing with a minor matter first. I knew they would be back soon, and I was determined to make myself useful in the meantime.As I busied myself with paperwork, trying to focus on the tasks at hand, the office door creaked open. I looked up, expecting one of the staff or perhaps even one of the twins, but instead, Victoria’s voice sliced through

    Third party POV“So, what do you have for us?” Hayden’s voice was low but firm as he addressed the secret detective who had been covertly working for them.The detective, keeping his demeanor casual, responded, “While I was away for Thanksgiving dinner with my family, I wasn’t able to pick up on anything out of the ordinary that might link Dillion’s death to someone directly. However, our team is diligently working on it. As soon as there’s an update, I’ll ensure you’re the first to know.”Hunter’s brow furrowed as he leaned forward, his expression troubled. “Do you think Victoria might be involved, or perhaps his girlfriend? Or could it be someone entirely unknown to us?”The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on them, especially with Lily now deep in depression over the shocking news. It was clear that, despite their own thirst for revenge for what Dillion had done to Li

    "Thank god you decided to come," I said happily to my mother as we stepped into the Steele residence for Thanksgiving dinner. The warmth and elegance of the home greeted us instantly, with the scent of roasted turkey and freshly baked pies wafting through the air."I only did it because I don't want to lose my one and only daughter. I want to be a part of your life," she replied, her voice softening. I gave her a tight hug, feeling a sense of relief wash over me."Hello, Miss Montgomery," both Hunter and Hayden greeted my mom with a polite hug. At least she showed them courtesy, even if it was with a bit of reservation.Mr. and Mrs. Steele approached us with welcoming smiles, their holiday spirit evident. "Thank you for having me and my daughter here today. Your home looks very beautiful," my mom commented, handing them a thoughtfully wrapped housewarming gift."Thank you, and Lily has been coming here for a few days now to have dinner with us, so she's n

    Lily's POV.........."As it is that we are together now, I don't think asking you two personal questions is wrong?" I asked, laying between the twins. The cool sheets against my skin were a stark contrast to the warmth of their bodies, cocooning me in an odd sense of security despite the burning questions in my mind."Ask away, baby girl," Hunter said, peppering kisses to my cheeks. His lips were soft and tender, a stark contrast to the raw intensity of our earlier encounters. I knew they were in the mood for another round, but after a total of five rounds, my body was fatigued, and they knew this.Taking a deep breath, I braced myself for the answer. "The other day when I saw Victoria entering your room, why did you make her? Are you still in love with her?" I asked Hunter, the doubt that had been gnawing at my mind finally spilling out.Hunter pulled me closely into his arms, his grip firm yet comforting. He looked me straight in the eyes, his gaze unwavering. "The woman you saw the

    Third party POV"I think what you've suspected, madam, is true. The twins do seem to be very overprotective of their assistant, Lily," the man said, his voice low and cautious as he stood before the woman seated at her grand mahogany desk, elegantly smoking a cigarette.The woman, her eyes narrowing with irritation, blew out a plume of smoke. "What have you found out exactly?" she demanded, her tone sharp and edged with impatience.The man shifted uneasily on his feet, aware of the woman's volatile temper. "Well, for one, they've made sure she stays at the elite royal condominium where they live. Although I'm uncertain if any other employees reside there, it's clear that only high-class millionaires and above can afford to stay there. Another thing is that she's rarely seen anywhere without the twins or their bodyguards discreetly following her," he explained, his words measured and deliberate.The woman's lips pressed into a thin line, her frustration mounting. "What else?" she snapp

    "What the fuck?" This was the first time I'd ever cursed so blatantly, but what Hunter had just said made me see they were going crazy.Hearing my words, Hunter and Hayden began to chuckle, their deep voices resonating in the room. Hunter then held my chin in his hand, tilting my head forward. "Such grievous words from that pretty little mouth of yours, Lily," he murmured, his eyes dark with amusement."Where did you learn that from?" I moaned as Hayden questioned, his finger moving in and out of my pussy with expert precision."Y-you," I blushed, watching as he brought his finger to his mouth, licking it clean with a satisfied smile."Just as I thought," Hunter teased, a wicked grin spreading across his face. "I think it should be our duty to ensure those words are never uttered again." He brought his cock to my lips once more, pushing it down my throat even further as I lay on my back, feeling completely at their mercy."Yes, I think you're right, brother," Hayden agreed, his voice l

  • Forbidden Thirst   61. Decisions, Decisions.

    It was finally the day for me to make a decision on whether or not I wanted to be with my bosses. I tried finding something to preoccupy myself with but couldn't take my mind off the fact that I needed to choose very soon. The decision weighed heavily on my mind, and no matter how hard I tried to distract myself, my thoughts kept circling back to the same dilemma. My heart pounded in my chest, a constant reminder of the choice I had to make.The Thanksgiving dinner was only a few days away, and my mom still wasn't budging about not going. She wouldn't even take my calls or text me back. The silence from her was deafening, adding to the loneliness that crept up on me during these moments of indecision. I missed her, and her absence felt like a gaping hole in my life, especially now when I needed her advice the most.I was entirely now dependent on my bosses for the care and love they were continuing to show me. Even though I would have a little mishap now and then with the pesky brat V

    "There's something I want to ask you," I said to my mom, my voice trembling slightly as I struggled to maintain my composure. This caught her attention immediately, and she turned to look at me, her eyes filled with curiosity."What is it?" she asked, her gaze never leaving mine."I want you to attend Thanksgiving dinner with me and my bosses at their parents' house. They've invited me, and I've accepted it," I told her, my heart pounding in my chest as I waited for her reaction or reply."No," she said flatly."What do you mean, no? Do you intend to stay here and be alone forever?" I asked her, frustration creeping into my voice as I watched her continue to bake her sweet potato pie, seemingly unfazed by my request."So, you've finally given into them, I see," she replied, her tone laced with disapproval as she continued her work without even glancing in my direction."Mom, what are you talking about? We're just having Thanksgiving dinner together, that's all," I said, my voice risin
