Leonardo Franco POVI only speak when I stop in front of the house. “How long has it been like that?”She stares straight ahead. “You know how it is in small villages.” Just about forever then.I turn to face her. “From now on, you take a man with you when you go shopping.” She lets that sink in before reaching for the door handle. “And you go to the village.” I clench my jaw. “You will shop at the market and anywhere else you damn well please.”My mother gets out. So do I, but I hang back, leaning in the open door as I watch her walk to the house with her shoulders squared and her expression hidden behind those glasses that obscure half of her face.The assistant comes down the steps to take the basket. At the front door, my mother turns around. “Aren’t you coming?”“I have business to take care of. I’ll be home for lunch.”She nods and disappears into the house.My grip on the roof of the car is hard. I feel like punching something. Someone. I loosen my fingers one by one and get ba
Luna Belle Fernandez POVThe summer holidays have always been my favorite time, but I’m glad when the final school year starts in January. Being occupied helps to take my mind off everything that happened around my birthday. The rhythm is harsh and the subject material tough. Robin and I work hard, studying together every day. I push myself more than ever because when I’m busy, I don’t have to think. I don’t have time to mourn the loss of something that never had a chance to start.I haven’t seen Rudolph since the day he dragged me out of the sea. That doesn’t prevent me from being jittery when I leave the house. I’m constantly scanning the faces of the people in the street or in the mall. Both Robinson and Cressilda remark on how nervous I seem when I’m out, but I’m attributing my behavior to the stress of the matrix year.Celeste and Bart’s baby boy is born at the end of January. We drive to Kabankalan to visit them at the private clinic where Bart has arranged to sleep until Celest
Luna Belle Fernandez POVIn April, Robin and I submit our applications for the University of Kabankalan. A lot depends on the marks we’ll get in our final exams in October. The fight is far from over. My Dad drives us to the university and takes us on a tour of the buildings. It’s a magical day in which I have him all to myself—well if you don’t count Robinson—but Robinson is kind and wise enough to give my Dad and me some space.My spirits lift a little in May. I haven’t seen Rudolph in four months. There’s a good chance he’s no longer around and that I’m stressing about nothing. The more I think about it, the more I believe I’m right. My actions become carefree again, and I feel more like my old self. When a girl in my class invites me to her birthday party, I accept. It’s time to live again and to have some fun.May is a pretty girl with a great sense of humor. I don’t tell my parents that hers are out of town on the weekend of her party. If Mom and Dad know the truth, they won’t
Luna Belle Fernandez POVI glance toward the kitchen where Robin and May are probably still licking each other’s tonsils. I’ve only had one kiss, and it was nothing but a peck on the lips. It was a kiss I saved for someone special, and I gave it to the wrong man. I’m seventeen. Most of my friends have already done a lot more than kissing. I’m lacking experience. I’m lacking fun. Hell, I’m lacking a life.Facing him squarely, I say, “What if I say yes?”His eyes narrow with satisfaction and a little surprise, maybe. Leaning forward, he grips the armrests and puts himself in my space. “You know what’ll be even better?” He shifts his hands to my knees, tightening his fingers on my flesh as he drags me toward him. “Sitting on my lap while I kiss you.”Ew. My ass is not a wank cushion. I want to tell him to get off on the pillar if he’s so desperate, but before I can utter a word, the guy is yanked off the chair and flung through the air. My jaw drops as he hits the pool on his back, causi
Luna Belle Fernandez POVAfter the incident at May’s party, I became more isolated. The girls in my class are as rich and entitled as kids in our school can be, but none of them has a bodyguard. The lie I told, that my dad hired Rudolph to protect me, puts me in a different bracket. My classmates are more guarded around me. Some are jealous.I still meet them for brunch at the mall or sports events on weekends, but there’s a gap between us. No one is going to invite someone to a party if she has to drag a bodyguard along. They don’t want what happens at these parties to get back to their parents. They’re doing what many other kids of their age are doing, experimenting with booze and cigarettes and sometimes the occasional drug. A lot of heavy petting is also involved, which is why a bodyguard who throws the hottest boy at the party in the pool for chatting a girl up is unwelcome. That, and our community is conservative. These things aren’t supposed to happen. As far as the adults are
Luna Belle POVAll my classmates have already turned eighteen. My parents sent me to school one year early, hence, I’m the last one to celebrate the big milestone. The parents tried to outdo themselves with the coming-of-age parties they organized at fancy venues and on yachts in Talubangi Bay. I begged my parents not to have another cocktail party at home. I won’t be able to live through another night of oysters and champagne with the family while Robinson entertains us on my underused piano.It’s Bart Fernandez’s idea to throw a party at the casino nightclub in Talubangi Bay. Isn’t everyone eager to show their ID cards for the first time at a club? It’s not what I would’ve chosen myself, but Bryan means well. He hasn’t said anything, but after Brady’s birth, he’s started to notice my withdrawal from my friends and the world. My apathetic brother is more perceptive than what I give him credit for.With some coaxing from Bart, my parents agree. As the casino is a thirty-minute drive f
Luna Belle Fernandez POVGrateful to finally locate a seat, I sink into one of the transparent plastic chairs arranged around a Perspex table. The backrest is curved, and the seat is low. Getting up without flashing my underwear in the process will be difficult. The modern design of the furniture favors aesthetics instead of comfort. Now more than ever, I regret wearing a thong, but the dress is so tight that panty lines would’ve been visible.Robinson slides with considerably less difficulty onto the chair next to me. A waitress removes the reserved card on the table and asks what we’d like to drink. I open my mouth to say ginger ale, but Bart orders champagne and sparkling water.Celeste walks to the balustrade and leans over, swaying her ass to the beat of the music. Bart goes to stand at her back, caging her between his arms with his palms planted on the rail. Unable to shake my unease, I look around, assessing the faces on the floor below before searching the bridge next to the D
Luna Belle Fernandez POVMy breath catches in my throat. My heart starts pounding, my pulse keeping time in my temples. The beat is like a hammer in my brain. I stare at the sight in front of me, battling to process that it’s real. That he’s real. That he’s truly here and not just in my head.“Hello, Luna Belle,” Leonardo says, his voice suave like velvet.I swallow away the dryness of my mouth. Anger masks my fear. “What are you doing here?”“You didn’t think I’d forget your birthday?”The words are like déjà vu. Their meaning chokes me. “How did you get into my room?”His lips curve. “With a keycard of course.”If the receptionist gave him one, he must have bribed her. I return his smile, mine wry. “Money always buys you what you want, doesn’t it?”He gets up, the movement was lithe like a panther’s.I glance at the door.“Don’t even think about it,” he says, rounding the bed. “You don’t want me to chase you through the casino with everyone bearing witness.”I back up, hitting a bar
She nodded to Damon, ready for anything they wanted.Damon worked the engorged head of his cock against her as Daniel sank her fully over him. And then Damon was pushing inside her. Filling the tight little cunt with his massive, cum soaked cock and making her breathe so heavily stars danced in her eyes.The girth of his shaft felt different to Daniel’s, yet just as filling. Stretched over two massive cocks she began to rock her hips, needing to fill them both and move inside her.Damon pulled out and drove back in as Daniel did the opposite, setting a rhythm. Damon claimed her pussy with every stroke and when he pulled out this time her channel clenched around his shaft, eager for the orgasm they teased from her.A low, strangled cry dragged Damon’s attention to her mouth. He devoured her lips and her moans. Took control and she passed it over.She buried her hands in his hair. “Not yet, baby, not yet hold that climax. We’ll tell you when you’ll give it to us.” His ragged order serve
“Here’s your chance to run, Anya.” Damon rested his large hands on her ankles and his gaze on hers. Long wisps of hair played at his temples lending a dark, dangerous vibe to the man she loved.Her heart rate spiked.Run?Daniel growled long and low and the vibrations fed into her soul.“Anya,” he whispered.Her breath caught at the intense look in his eye.Did she dare? Three steps past the threshold they would have her pinned in their arms and making sure she knew she wasn’t getting away. No way she’d make it back to Manila, that was for damn sure.Hot molten stares followed her every move as she uncurled her legs from Damon’s touch and glided to her feet. Her leg felt better, stiff, but not enough to keep her from walking.As predicted, she managed three steps before her fingers entwined with hers. Gentle but firm. Warm lips caught her knuckles pulling a heavy sigh from her lips. From beneath hooded eyes, she watched Daniel sidle up to her and wrap an arm around her middle as Damon
An hour and a pile of papers the size of a small cat later, Damon slipped the key in and stepped aside as Daniel carried her up the back stairs.“You know I could have walked, right?”“Where’s the fun in that,” he scoffed. “Besides, I have to get practice in for when we put a ring on that beautiful hand of yours.”She laughed. “So who’s name did I get to carry?” She knew for a fact she couldn’t marry them both.Damon kissed her forehead as he held the door open for them. Her smile widened and her heart swelled with so much love. Love for both of them and she still couldn’t wrap her mind around the fact she had a tiny, innocent baby inside her. She splayed her hand over her stomach.Daniel pressed his lips close to her ear. “You’re going to look gorgeous when you’re plump with our baby.”She smiled. “I guess this is going to be home for a little while yet.”“If that’s okay with you? We can look for a bigger place once you can move around without any leftover pain.”Staying here couldn’
Damon’s dark head tilted, his mouth turning up into a wide grin. “Which is another topic we’ll need to discuss. I’m going to miss the quiet time we had up at the cabin. Just the three of us.” He raised her hand to his mouth and kissed the tips of each of her fingers. “We had planned on fucking you long and hard by the waterfall.”Daniel turned from the window. “Which we did.”Wow. What was it about these two men that left her breathless? She smiled at them both. “I remember.”“Then we’d planned on tying you up to our bed and covering every part of your body in our milk.”“Tits, ass, and pussy. You would have been dripping with our cums.”Her mouth fell open a little. Wow. Her body thrummed with an instant rush of need.“Mr. Castillo. Mr. Santillan. Be glad that part of your ‘plan’ failed or your day would have turned out completely different.” They all turned to the door and the newcomer to the room and Anya wanted to melt into the floor. Red. Her face, neck, and every other part of h
She pushed out of Daniel’s arms and stood then regretted it immediately as she fell forward. Rupert, moved to steady her, looking pointedly at her leg where the fire had left a small burn and her head where blood trickled down from her temple.“You’re men are lucky to have such a determined, loyal woman by their side.”Water welled behind her lashes. “Thank you for being here today. I don’t know how you knew, but I’m glad you arrived when you did. I’m not sure Daniel would have held back much longer.”“John and Rene called. Don’t shed any tears for that old man. He is a horrible person as I am sure your men will tell you if you haven’t already seen it for yourself.”She nodded.The fire of anger and pain that ate at her ebbed. “You’re right.”Daniel and Damon stood to either side, their body heats a balm to her nerves.She wobbled forward as her men supported her on either side. She reached for Rupert’s hand, holding his gaze. She turned to look at Damon and Daniel. “I think I can spe
Water blasted from the tip of her hose and she started watering down the dry grass. Damon did the same beside her while Daniel started digging a huge fire line through the grass. Given the strength of the wind, she didn’t hold out much hope but it was something.Dry grass crunched underfoot and cinders scattered through the weeds, causing small pockets of fire to spread along the empty field. She caught as many as she could but the fire was jumping.They worked together moving as a team trying to save as much of the property as possible. Over the ledge of small hills, a blur of dust kicked up about a mile out.“Oh thank God! Look! The cavalry is here.”John and Rene pulled up in a rolling tumble of dirt, their red rig a beautiful sight. Another one pulled up beside them filled with water from the looks of it.Smoke boiled low across the field like a thick fog and burned her lungs but still, her heart soared and she smiled.“Where’s Damon?” Daniel called out coming in from the field, e
“Who knows, maybe Rupert has a hand in this. Maybe he decided he didn’t like going against the grain after all.”They bounced along the back road, Daniel finding every damn pothole there was in the dirt road and slamming into it. If they made it to the house without breaking an axle it would be a miracle.She couldn’t say she knew any of the men they spoke about personally. The class had kept her busy during the days, and then waiting tables in the afternoon for extra cash only left her with the time she spent with her men. Damon threw an arm out in front of her when Daniel took a dip in the road too fast.“You remember what Ethan and Remy said, Daniel. We heard it too. Rupert is looking for allies, not enemies. Looking to clean up his family name.”“How the hell can you be so sure? Can you trust him?”“Daniel’s right, Anya. We can’t measure a man by his family’s bad deeds. He has to earn his reputation on his own merits. So far, he’s done nothing to us but help when we needed him.”D
Damon reached around and rubbed her clit with soft, gentle strokes as they both stretched her tight channel around their thick girths. She gasped, muscles shaking. The feeling of being stretched beyond anything she had ever felt before consumed all her senses. Her walls clenched, making both men groan. The deeper they sank the tighter the fit until she could feel their every pulse, every throb of need in their cocks.A pinch of pain followed the burn of the pressure as they stretched her hot, greedy pussy.She panted, and every muscle in her body shook. She clawed at Daniel’s shoulders. The pressure. it was too much.The burn. Fire tore through her, so delicious and torturous. A pain she wanted but never thought possible.She splayed her hands over Daniel’s broad chest and his heartbeat hammered against her palms.“Breathe, baby. If it’s too much, tell us and we’ll stop.”She nodded to Daniel’s words. “No,” she gasped. “No.” She pressed back. Slowly. Wanting them to fill her, stretch
Her lips parted and she moaned around his thickness as Daniel buried his dick in her mouth until he tapped the back of her throat.“Breath in, baby, I want to feel that throat on the tip of my cock every time I sink in.”She gagged around him and pushed him deeper, tears watering her eyes.He pulled out giving her time to catch her breath then did it all over again, this time she took him deeper for longer.“You’re fucking perfect, baby,” he whispered, cleaning her face of the few drops of tears that had spilled down her cheeks.Leaning in she gathered his balls in her hands and sucked each of them into her mouth gently while working his length from base to tip.“Fuck, that’s it. Grip his cock harder, work him faster.”Behind her, Damon delivered a series of sharp smacks one after another until her whole body tingled and hummed with a wave of pleasure she’d never known before. She cried out around her mouth full of Daniel’s balls letting them slip from her mouth on a whimper.She coul
