Kiss It Better 14 - Victor.
“You look like shit,” Ariq says, dropping a stack of mail on my desk. The sky is navy blue outside, speckled with stars, and we’re holed away in my office, high above the sidewalk.I groan and scrub a hand down my face. “Thanks for noticing.”No point denying it. It’s been a rough night and an even rougher day, my sanity fraying more and more as the clock ticks on. For all my declarations that I never want to see Jasmine Biao again after our five nights are up, I feel like I’m losing my goddamn mind with her gone.It’ll be okay once she’s here. Once she’s snarking at me, and poking her tongue out, and softening my hard edges with her sly humor. Once I can stare shamelessly at her long legs and glossy black hair, and fantasize about peeling that black trench coat open.Will she touch me again?Will she let me touch her?“You know,” Ariq says, poking idly at a stack of files on my desk, “if this whole brooding villain vibe isn’t working for you, there are other options available.”I gus

A soft knock on the door jolts me out of my brooding. “Come in,” I call, forcing myself to stop gripping the desk.Jasmine slips inside and shuts the door behind her, then turns to face me. At the sight of her pale, drawn features and the shadows beneath her eyes, my stomach plummets.“Jasmine?”Her chin wobbles.My chair shoves back, and I’m reaching for her as Jasmine hurries across the office and flings herself into my arms. She’s so small, gathered into my lap—delicate and trembling. The tip of her nose is ice-cold against my throat, and I clutch her closer, my heart thudding where she’s plastered to my chest.“Jasmine.”She lets out a noise that’s half laugh, half sob and burrows closer. Her floral scent is all around me, snaking into my lungs.“Shoot,” she says. “I was gonna play it so much cooler than this.”“Are you…” My voice drops, horror gnawing on my bones. “Is this because of last night? Did I hurt you?”I will never fucking forgive myself if I did. Our bargain is one thi

The club is dark and luxurious, with plush private booths around the walls and sets of tables and chairs spaced around the floor. Servers slip through the shadows like ghosts, delivering a constant stream of drinks, while tea lights flicker on tables—a constellation of tiny stars.A live band plays on one stage, drenched in a shaft of light. Their moody music twists around the room and heats my blood.On another stage, two strips of white silk dangle from the shadowed rafters high above all the way to the floor. A woman, dressed in a short, fringed flapper dress, twists her limbs around the silks and climbs gracefully into the air.“What are we doing here?” I murmur to Victor for the dozenth time, leaning closer so he hears my lowered voice. Hardness and heat greet my palm, and I look down to find my hand on his thigh.Horrified, I snatch it back.My palm tingles.“We’ve come to see her.” Victor nods at the woman, already high above the audience’s heads, wrapping herself around and ar

“We’re here to scout for new talent,” Victor goes on, like this truly is a friendly explanation with no lurking dangers within. Ha! “And since you worked in that resort, I figure your input will be extra useful.”Is that…That is a compliment. What on earth?Snatching for my glass, I take another shaky sip. Victor is the last man I should get tipsy around, but none of this makes any freaking sense. Maybe vodka will help.“Yesterday, you made me clean your apartment,” I say slowly. Obviously, I took no shame in that task—why would I?—but Victor clearly wanted me to feel bad about it. “The day before, you had me polish shoes all night.”The tip of Victor’s finger traces one of my polish-stained knuckles, and I jump at his touch. The stain on my hands fades a little every time I wash them, but it’ll be weeks yet before they’re back to normal.“And you did an admirable job,” Victor says. Everywhere he touches me, sparks race across my skin.“So what’s tonight’s thing?” I demand. My spine

If I thought I could take Jasmine on a normal date this evening and have her play along… well, clearly I was wrong. There’s too much mess between us, too much distrust, and it’ll take time to win over her heart and brain as well as her body.Time is something I do not have.We have two more nights together after this. Two more nights for me to turn this ship around, to prove to Jasmine Biao that I can admire her without reserve, trust her without caveats, love her without restraint.This is a shit show of my own making. If Jasmine weren’t sprawled across my lap right now, begging for my touch beneath her dress, I’d think it a lost cause.“You squirm for me so well, don’t you Jasmine?”She nods, cheeks pink, and she can’t decide where to put her hands. She keeps clutching at my chest, my shoulders, the edge of the table beside her, my thighs beneath her legs—until I catch her wrists and loop her arms around my neck.“Keep them there.”If I need to order her to hold me like a lover, I’l

A vicious growl slips out, and my thumb rubs at her harder, parting her folds beneath the ivory lace. Jasmine whimpers and wriggles, her hips lifting to chase my touch, and all the while she’s hanging from my neck like a monkey.That damp heat soaking through her panties…The humidity between her thighs…Jasmine Biao is wet for me, and she’s not trying to hide it. Not for a single second. She’s proud, defiance etched on her beautiful face as she rubs her panty-covered pussy against my thumb.My chest cracks open, and if I’m not careful, all this goddamn longing will spill out and she’ll see before she’s ready.“So damp,” I grit out, hooking my fingers in the waistband of her panties and tugging them down, down, down. Jasmine lifts her hips and helps me get them down her thighs. “These are ruined, baby. Let me take them off you.”Past her thighs, they come off easily, snagging only briefly on Jasmine’s one remaining high heel. Jaw clenched, I untangle them carefully and slip the scrap

When I get home just after midnight, the townhouse lights are on again. Dread pools in my stomach as I slide my key into the front door, but there’s no anticipation. Not really. I already know what I’ll find past the threshold.The door swings open. My heels click softly against the marble foyer floor, and I tug the belt of my trench coat loose with a sigh as the front door clicks shut behind me. Voices murmur in the kitchen. Music plays softly too, drifting through the townhouse, along with the scent of another luxurious dinner.Yup.They’ve done it again. Ordered expensive take-out from one of the finest restaurants in the city, because as far as the Biaos are concerned, that is their due.No need to go and double check. No need to confirm what I already know, what I should have figured out a year ago: my parents will never change.Not until some outside force makes them change.For their sakes, I hope the reckoning isn’t deadly.My stomach churns as I climb the townhouse stairs, to

The next evening, I dress myself with military precision. Every inch of my outfit, my makeup, my hair—it’s all chosen with one aim in mind.It’s armor.Because if Victor Pierro breaks my heart after tonight, if he gets what he wants then turns me away afterward… I will never let him see how much that hurts me. That’s my promise to myself.My lingerie is dark purple silk; my dress is steel gray with a high neckline but a plunging back. I slide on my highest, stabbiest heels and slick my lips with red. My dark hair is swept over one shoulder. The black trench coat is the final touch, the belt cinched at my waist.A stranger stares back at me in my bedroom mirror, her cheeks flushed and her eyes bright. I look excited. I am excited.I also look ready to crush a certain casino owner under my heel, and you know what? That’s accurate, too.The journey to Biao’s is agonizingly slow, the streets clogged with traffic. I stare out of the tinted window in the backseat and count my breaths.Nearl

Kiss It Better 31 - Zarina.
I love everything about our little seaside village of Ferragudo, but it’s especially magical in the early hours of the morning, when only the fish and the birds are awake. I love coming out onto our deck to observe the calm, quiet world. Usually, I can even manage to get a good page or two written before the kids wake up.I curl my hands around my mug of coffee, the tendrils of steam evaporating into the cool air, and smile before taking a sip. The last ten years have been better than anything I could have ever hoped for. Finn and I had the most beautiful wedding right here on the beach, just a few miles away from where we now live.The ceremony was small and intimate and absolutely perfect. Finn cried, and yeah, I was a blubbering mess by the end as well. Standing there next to him, peering into those deep brown eyes while the waves tickled my feet was one of the greatest moments of my life. I finally felt like I was right where I belonged, with someone who wanted me as much as I wan

Zarina slumps over the balcony as I pull out of her, our combined releases dripping down her thighs. Jesus, I’m almost ready to go again at the sight. Spinning her around, I scoop my woman up in my arms and carry her to my bed, ridding her of her clothes before stripping down and crawling in beside her.She snuggles up next to me and I wrap an arm around her, tucking her closer into my side. “I love you so damn much,” I whisper into the top of her head. She sighs so sweetly, her breath tickling my bare chest.“I love you, too. Thank you.”“For what?”Zarina props herself up on her elbow, looking down at me. “For...everything. I...I don’t know how to explain it. Like your letter said, we haven’t known each other that long, but in a way, we have. I know you. I feel you right here,” she whispers, placing my hand over her heart. I slide it up her chest and wrap my fingers around the back of her neck, drawing her down for another kiss.“I feel you, too,” I murmur against her lips.“Did...d

Twenty minutes later, we're pulling up to my apartment. I've traveled from city to city and country to country over the last nineteen years, but this little apartment has served as home base in between gigs. I want something so much grander for my wife-to-be, but this will have to do for now.“It’s beautiful,” Zarina whispers as I help her out of the cab. The building itself is painted white, matching the other homes and buildings here in Ferragudo, Portugal. The seaside town is quite breathtaking and picturesque with boats adorning the shores and whitewashed homes dotting the skyline.“You’re beautiful,” I say with a grin when she rolls her eyes. “Now let’s get inside before I lose my mind.”I drag my Zarina through the lobby of the apartment building, almost forgetting her damn luggage again. She giggles and spins around in my arms once we step inside the elevator, getting up on her tiptoes to give me a kiss. I wrap my arms around her and haul her into my chest, groaning when I feel

I wipe a sweaty palm on my jeans and tighten my hold on the bouquet of wildflowers I gathered from one of my favorite parks overlooking the ocean. The plane should be landing any minute now, and I pray to every god I can think of that my babygirl is on it.These last three days have been absolute misery without her. I knew Darren would be upset, but I underestimated his temper, as well as his connections. After we gave our statements about what happened in the hotel room, Darren talked to the officers and apparently greased the wheels to have me fucking deported.After an arduous and humiliating journey back to Portugal in cuffs, I spent the night in a holding cell. I was released yesterday when they realized the charges were bogus, but TSA took my passport, so there was no way to hop on the next plane back to New York.And God, that’s all I’ve wanted to do. I won’t rest until Zarina is in my arms again. I need to hold her, to look at her sharp, beautiful eyes and tell her I love her.
Kiss It Better 27 - Zarina.
Over and over, picture after picture, Finn poured his heart out to me. That day at the farmers market he told me he communicated better with photos, but I think his words are just as powerful.Underneath the pile of photos, I see a letter folded up. I reach for it, handling it like a sacred document. To me, it is. Something falls out of the letter when I unfold it. Picking up the scrap of paper, I gasp when I see it’s a plane ticket to Portugal. My name is at the top, along with tomorrow’s date. Was this his plan all along? Was he going to bring me back to Portugal with him?I set the ticket down on the bed and reach for the letter again, hoping to find the answers to my questions.Zarina, my beautiful babygirl,I love every moment of every day with you. Everything you do is enchanting. Magical. I didn’t know what was missing in my life until you flashed those eyes at me and challenged me for control.We haven’t known each other long, but at the same time, my soul knows yours. You fee
Kiss It Better 26 - Zarina.
Three days. It’s been three days since Miriam hauled me out of the hotel. Three days since Finn made love to me. Three days since my heart was healed and then shattered.Where is he? What happened? Finn told me he loved me, but the doubts are starting to creep in.That first day, I collapsed on my bed and cried myself to sleep. I was so certain I would wake up next to my Daddy, but when I blinked my swollen eyes open, I was alone, just like I always am. I barely left my room the second day, only venturing out into the house to use the bathroom or grab something to eat.My father won’t even look at me. He’s hardly spoken ten words to me in the last few days. All I know is that he and Miriam got a call when they landed in Bora Bora from someone who saw Finn kissing me at the wedding. According to Miriam, I ruined her wedding and made a fool out of myself and my family.Last night, my dad told me he set up an interview with the dean of NYU next week to discuss my schedule for the fall.

I feel her pussy knot around my shaft, squeezing me so damn tight it hurts in the best way. Zarina inhales a sharp breath as wave after wave of pleasure wracks her body. She claws at my back, ripping my skin open, making me roar my release and fill her with my seed. I come so damn hard I feel like I might pass out.“Breathe,” I say to myself as much as her.Zarina gasps for air and clings to me as her body trembles with the last of her orgasm. I slide her down my body and hold her close, kissing the top of her head.When we both have somewhat recovered, I step back and pour body wash into my hands before rubbing it over the dips and curves of her body. Zarina leans into me for support, making me smile at how thoroughly fucked and sated she is right now. When I’m done, she soaps me up and places a sweet kiss over my heart.I cup her face and kiss her deeply, passionately, but slowly. One drugging kiss leads to another and another, and before I know it, I’m spinning her around and placi

I strip out of what little clothes I have left on and then practically tear Zarina’s dress off of her, leaving her in a matching bra and panty set.“Hey!” she shrieks and then giggles. “Be careful! I don’t want you ruining another dress of mine.”I kiss her neck, needing my lips to be on some part of her body right this goddamn second. “I’ll buy you a new one,” I grunt, biting and kissing her again.I slide my hands down her body, gripping her thighs and lifting her gorgeous, curvy body up into my arms. She gasps and hooks her ankles behind my back. I growl and kiss down her neck as she arches her back and presses her body into mine.“Fuck, I need you,” I grunt before nipping at the sensitive skin below her ear.“I’m yours, Daddy,” she pants, rubbing her hot little pussy over my stomach letting me know she needs me, too.“Take a shower with me.” It’s not a question, it’s a command.She nods her head and twists her fingers in my hair, pulling me in for another kiss.I carry her into th
Kiss It Better 23 - Finn.
We walk silently through the market and take a cab back to the house, where I direct Zarina to pack an overnight bag. The sassy little smirk she gives me nearly has me tossing her on her bed and burying my cock between her pouty lips, but I manage to restrain myself.Once we’re packed up, I order an Uber to Four Seasons, ready to show my little love everything she’s asking for. Zarina smiles at me and snuggles into my side, content to let me take care of every little detail.My chest swells up with pride when I step out of the car and hold my hand out for my babygirl. She doesn’t hesitate to take my hand and let me lead her through the opulent lobby and onto the private elevator. I love that she trusts me like this. As soon as the doors shut, I slide my hands down her body and grip her hips, pulling her back against my front.She moans softly, melting into me as I trail kisses up and down her neck. My hands roam up her generous curves until I’m cupping her breasts. Zarina gasps and th
