I looked up at him, a smile playing on my lips. "And where are we going?"

He grinned, a wicked glint in his eyes. "It's a surprise."

I raised an eyebrow but closed my laptop, setting it aside. "A surprise, hmm? I thought we agreed, no more secrets."

Lachlan laughed, a rich, warm sound I'd rarely heard and that sent a shiver of desire coursing through me. "It's not a secret, Quinn. It's a surprise. There's a difference."

I rolled my eyes but let him take my hand, pulling me to my feet. "Fine, but this better be a good surprise."

He led me out of the study, through the grand halls of his mansion, and out into the warm, tropical evening. The air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers I'd come to love, the sound of waves crashing against the shore, and the distant cry of seabirds. It was a paradise, a sanctuary, but still a storm raged in the back of my mind.

Lachlan led me down a winding path, the setting sun casting long shadows across our path. As we rounded a bend, I gasp

    LachlanAs I stood on the deck of my yacht, the warm breeze whipping my hair into a frenzy, I couldn't help but feel a sense of turmoil brewing inside me. Quinn, with her piercing green eyes and unyielding spirit, had managed to awaken a maelstrom of emotions I thought I'd long buried. My desire for her was all-consuming, a flame that threatened to engulf me whole. Yet, it was more than just lust that drove me. I yearned for her to love me, to accept me for all that I was—dark past, secrets, and all.But there was a catch, a dichotomy that tore at my very being. My need for power, for control, warred with my longing to surrender to her. I wanted to give her everything: my truth, my heart, my soul. However, I also craved something in return—her complete and utter submission. I wanted her to be under my spell, to crave my dominance as much as I craved her love.As we sat down to dinner, the soft glow of the candles casting an intimate ambiance, I found myself drawn to her like a moth to

    LachlanLeaning down, my lips captured hers in a searing kiss, my tongue dueling with hers as my hands continued their exploration. I traced the curve where her waist flared at her hip then dancing across her skin to tease the sensitive skin of her inner thighs. She mewled and writhed under my touch as she recognized my dominance over her, body and soul.With effort, I broke away from her sweet lips, trailing kisses down her neck, lingering at the delicate spot where her pulse raced. My teeth grazed her skin, a gentle bite eliciting a pretty gasp from the mix of pleasure and pain that hardened my cock even more. Biting back my own groan, I continued my descent, my lips and tongue tracing a path down her collarbone, her sternum, until I reached the valley between her breasts.My hands moved to her wrists playing with the soft cuffs that held her firmly in place. Her fingers grasped the edges of the leather as she squirmed beneath me, her breath coming in short, ragged gasps, her eyes l

    QuinnSoreness all over my body greeted me as the first rays of dawn filtered through the cabin windows, casting a warm, golden glow over the tangled sheets and our entwined bodies. I smiled slowly, allowing my fingers to graze the intricate Celtic tattoo that wound around Lachlan's tan arm. I reveled in the warmth of his body as consciousness gradually returned and the memories of the night before came flooding back in vivid detail.Lachlan's hands on my body, his touch igniting a fire that had seemed to burn hotter with each passing moment. The feel of the soft leather restraints around my wrists, the delicious surrender as I yielded control to him. The exquisite blend of pleasure and pain as he pushed me to new heights of ecstasy with the giant dildo and the flogger. My begging and screams echoing through the cabin now making my skin reddening with embarrassment as I remembered them.Even with the embarrassment of my wantonness, I couldn't control the shiver that ran down my spine a

    Careful not to disturb Lachlan's slumber, I slipped from the couch and quickly dressed, my heart pounding in my chest as I made my way to the door. I paused for a moment, my gaze lingering on Lachlan's sleeping form, drinking in the sight of him one last time before stepping out into the corridor.I had no idea where to start my search, but something told me that the answers I sought would be found in Lachlan's personal study on the yacht. It was a risk, I knew, a breach of the trust and intimacy we had built over the past few weeks. But Cat's warning echoed in my mind, her fear palpable even through the distortion of the phone line.Don't trust anyone, not until we know what's really going on.With a steadying breath, I made my way down the stairs to Lachlan's office.[continue the story from this point]The corridor leading to Lachlan's study seemed to stretch endlessly before me, the plush carpet muffling my footsteps as I crept forward.

    QuinnMy breath hitched, caught somewhere between my lungs and my throat. Lachlan stood in the doorway, his grey eyes stormier than any of the clouds I'd seen in the hurricane we'd just been through. The light from the porthole behind him made him glow like a vengeful god. The gentle rocking of the yacht, once a soothing lullaby, now made me sway unsteadily on my feet. My stomach churned.“Lachlan,” I managed, my voice a mere tremor. The laptop screen glowed behind me, the blinking cursor damning me. My mind raced, scrambling for an explanation, a justification, anything to bridge the chasm that had suddenly opened between us.He took a slow, deliberate step into the room, the click of his shoes against the polished wood floor echoing in the sudden, heavy silence. He didn't speak, didn't break eye contact. The air crackled with unspoken accusations, with the weight of my breach of trust.“I… I can explain,” I stammered, the words tasting like ashes in my mouth. But how could I explain

    LachlanQuinn's scent, a heady mix of arousal and the subtle floral perfume she favored, overwhelmed my senses as I lowered my head and ripped the panties from her body. I'd buy her new ones. Spreading her thighs wide, I gazed at her pretty pink folds, glistening like dew on the rose petals in my garden in the morning. I licked my lips at the picture of wanton abandon she made. All for me. Only weeks ago, she would have been blushing and trying to hide from me. Not any more. Now she was mine.I rested her knees on my shoulders before diving in. I tasted her, my tongue laving over her folds, taking my time to savor every drop, search out every silky inch of her. The soft gasps escaping her lips, the way her fingers tangled in my hair, urging me closer – it was all intoxicating.Her taste, sweet and musky, ignited a fire in my gut, making my shaft harden and beg for release. I delved deeper, my tongue probing her channel, teasing, lapping up the juices she was making just for me. Her hip

    QuinnI woke with a gasp, my heart hammering against my ribs like a trapped bird. The last vestiges of the dream clung to me, a chilling premonition of darkness and danger despite the way Lachlan had put me to sleep. But now he was gone. I rolled over into his pillow which was cold beneath my cheek, the lingering scent of his cologne a cruel reminder of his absence.Panic clawed at the edges of my consciousness. Where was he? What was happening? I vaguely remembering that he'd received a message before he'd carried me to our room, the tension that had radiated from him unmistakable – it all pointed to something sinister, something I couldn’t ignore.I scrambled out of the sheets, pulling on shorts and t-shirt, my movements jerky and uncoordinated. The yacht was eerily silent other than the hum of the engines, the gentle rocking motion doing little to soothe my frayed nerves. I stumbled out of the study and into the corridor, my bare feet padding softly against the plush carpet.“Lachl

    QuinnBefore me lay a sight that would haunt my dreams forever.A sprawling, ancient-looking temple loomed in the center of the clearing, its walls adorned with twisted, serpentine carvings. The air was heavy with the stench of incense and something far more sinister. The chanting grew louder, a cacophony of voices that seemed to come from all directions. My mouth gaped open. I shut my eyes for a long moment, not able to believe what I was seeing. It was like I had dropped into that old movie Romancing the Stone. Surely once I opened my eyes again, it would all be gone.But when I dared to look again, my eyes locked on Lachlan standing at the top of the altar, his eyes closed, his face tilted upwards as if in supplication. He was dressed in a long, black robe, the hood thrown back, revealing the handsome, chiseled features I would know anywhere. Except this time, the face I'd grown to love was cast in dangerous looking shadows, the fire from what had to be hundreds of torches mimickin

  • My Billionaire's Secret: A Forbidden, Age Gap Romance   The Gathering Storm

    The air on the island felt different now, heavy and charged, as though the approaching storm wasn’t confined to the sky. The once serene paradise had become a pressure cooker, the weight of it pressing down on Quinn’s chest. She stood by the tall windows of the villa’s living room, the horizon marred by dark clouds rolling in from the sea. The wind had picked up, rustling the palm fronds outside and carrying the salty tang of the ocean through the slightly open windows.Behind her, Lachlan paced like a caged lion, his phone pressed to his ear as he issued crisp, controlled orders. Yet, even in his attempts to exude calm authority, Quinn could see the signs of strain—the way his fingers flexed open and closed at his side, the tension in his jaw as he ground his teeth. His shirt, usually perfectly pressed, was rumpled, and his hair stuck up in places from where he’d clawed his fingers through it repeatedly.“Double the security at the perimeter,” he barked, his voice sharp enough to cut

    The study was steeped in shadows, the late afternoon sun filtering through heavy blinds and casting fractured light across the room. The scent of old books mingled with the faint tang of salt carried on the sea breeze, but the air inside was heavy, suffocating.Lachlan stood behind his imposing oak desk, a figure carved from granite, while Clara lingered by the window, her silhouette fragile and waif-like against the glow. Quinn hovered near the doorway, her arms crossed tightly over her chest, her mind caught in a tangle of questions she couldn’t yet untangle.Lachlan’s voice cut through the silence, low and sharp. “Start at the beginning. How were you kept from me? Why didn’t I know you existed?”Clara turned from the window, her eyes soft but resolute. “You have to understand, Lachlan, our mother wasn’t like other mothers. She made choices—choices she believed were necessary. Choices that tore us apart.”“Necessary?” Lachlan’s voice rose, his composure cracking. His hands gripped t

    Quinn"I'm here to see Lachlan," the woman announced, a musical lilt barely imperceptible in her soft voice.I stood there, rooted to the spot, as Sims' thin lips tightened into almost invisibility. We all stood like statues staring at each other for several breaths before Sims finally ushered the woman inside. She moved with a grace that belied her frail appearance, her eyes darting around the grand hallway as if she took in every detail. It didn't look like she was familiar with the place.I couldn't help but stare at her, my mind racing with questions. Who was she? how did she know where this place was? Did Sims know her or not? I couldn't tell. And why did she seem so familiar?Sims led the woman to the formal drawing room, instructing the maid who had been lurking in the doorway there with a tray and coffee, to fetch Lachlan. I followed despite the austere butler not inviting me, my curiosity piqued. The woman sat down on the edge of the sofa, her hands clasped tightly in her lap

    QuinnThe seaplane landed smoothly, the water spraying up like tiny crystals under the sunlight. I'd been surprised when Lachlan had shown me to the small plane as we watched the yacht turn into a small dot on the water the morning after the traumatic ritual I'd witnessed."I need to get home as soon as possible and I'm sure you want to get back to work." His answer had been taciturn and not at all fulfilling when I'd asked, but I'd let it go. At that point, all I wanted off this island as soon as possible and didn't really care what Lachlan's reasons were.Once back on Lachlan's home island, he helped me out of the plane, his hand lingering on mine for a moment longer than necessary. As we walked in silence towards the grand house, the waves crashing against the shore the only sound accompanying the slide of our footsteps, I wasn't sure whether I should feel relief or trepidation in returning to the now familiar spaces. With as few words as possible, I retreated to the beautiful roo

    QuinnAfter our encounter on the island, we'd come back to the yacht and the gentle rocking of the ocean had lulled me into a state of drowsy contentment as I lay nestled in the plush bedding, the remnants of Lachlan's scent clinging to the sheets. The events of the past few hours swirled in my mind, a chaotic mix of horror, confusion, and a strange, unsettling arousal.The image of the woman on the altar, her lifeless eyes staring up at the moon, the blood dripping from the sacrificial dagger…it played on repeat in my memory, a macabre slideshow that continued to send shivers down my spine. Lachlan's explanation, his insistence that it was all a charade, a necessary deception to maintain control within the Order of the Serpent…it echoed in my ears, a desperate plea for understanding, for trust.And then there was the knife. He had shown me the prop dagger. I had held it in my hand and it had collapsed allowing it to seem to stab but not really. But it was still sharp. My skin pebbled

"I need your words for this, my love." "Green, sir," she breathed, and relaxed against the cool wood making my cock jump in anticipation. Jesus, the surrender made me harder than the acacia wood I had her laid."Oh, mo chroi, what a good girl you are," I growled, trailed my free hand through her hair and down her bare back. "Now stay very still unless I tell you." I slipped my fingers under her loose pants followed by the sharp edge of the blade and a second later, they fell to the floor with her shirt leaving her perfect body bare before me spread over my desk.

    LachlanThe weight of Quinn's gaze bore into me, her mossy green eyes reflecting a tumultuous sea of doubt and fear. I could see the gears turning in her mind, the struggle between wanting to believe me and the horror she had witnessed. I knew I was asking a lot of her, perhaps too much. But I also knew that our bond, the connection that had grown between us, was stronger than the webs of deceit spun by the Order.I reached out, tracing the line of her jaw with my fingertips. Her skin was soft, warm, and slightly flushed from the emotional turmoil she was experiencing. She didn't pull away from my touch, but her eyes remained wary, questioning."Quinn," I murmured, my voice low, soothing. "I know this is hard for you. I know it's a lot to take in. But I need you to trust me. I need you to believe in us."She bit her bottom lip, a habit I found both endearing and arousing. "I want to, Lachlan. I just…I need something more. Something to hold onto, to prove that what you're saying is tru

He led me back towards the villa, his steps measured and calm, as if we were returning me from a collapse at the edge of the sea after witnessing a horrific ritual sacrifice. I stumbled along beside him, my mind a maelstrom of confusion and terror. The image of the woman on the altar, her lifeless eyes staring up at the moon, blood dripping from her fingers was burned into my retinas.He led me back to a study, almost a duplicate of the one in his home on his personal island leaving no further question in my mind as to who this home belonged to."Sit, leannan," he said, depositing me on a small couch. He poured me a glass of amber liquid pressing it into my trembling hands. He sat opposite me in a dark teak armchair, his gaze intense, searching. "Quinn," he began, his voice low and soothing, “what you saw…it wasn’t real.”I stared at him, the brandy sloshing ove
