I walked into the hospital ward, feeling a mix of hope and dread. The sterile air was thick with the sound of labored breaths, but the moment my little sister, Emma saw me, her eyes lit up. Despite the machines and her serious illness, she smiled—a shining light in her tough fight. At just nine years old, she had spent her entire life-fighting cystic fibrosis, a merciless condition that ravaged her lungs and digestive system. There was no cure, only a never-ending cycle of treatments and medications that barely kept her afloat. The doctor had once told me that with proper care, she might live past fifty. "Hey, kiddo," I said softly, pulling a chair closer to her bed. "How are you feeling today?" "Better now that you're here," she replied, her voice thin but warm. "The nurses said I might get to go outside tomorrow if the weather's nice." A grin spread across my face. "That's great! We'll make it a big deal. I'll bring your favorite book, and we can sit in the garden. Maybe even sneak in some chocolates if the doctors don't catch us." She laughed, a sound that quickly turned into a cough. I reached out, gently patting her back until it subsided. "You always know how to make me smile," she said, catching her breath. "But... don't get in trouble for me, okay?" "Hey, trouble's my middle name," I said with a wink. "Besides, what's a little scolding compared to seeing you happy?" Her expression softened, and for a moment, the playful glint in her eyes faded. "You work so hard for me," she said quietly. "I see it, you know. You're always tired. I don't want you to... to wear yourself out because of me." I smiled leaning forward and taking her small hand in mine. "Listen to me," I said, "You're my little sister. My only family. There's nothing I wouldn't do to keep you safe and healthy. You're worth every late night, every long shift, every... everything." Tears welled in her eyes, and she blinked them away, her lower lip trembling. "But what if it's never enough? What if I'm never strong enough to beat this?" My grip on her hand tightened, and I looked her straight in the eye. "Don't talk like that. You're the strongest person I know. You've been fighting this since you were born, and you're still here, still smiling. That's not luck—that's *you.* And as long as you keep fighting, I'll be right here beside you." She sniffled, her small fingers curling around mine. "Promise?" "I promise," I said, my voice unwavering. "Always." A mischievous grin crept onto her face, and she tilted her head. "Even if I ask for double chocolates tomorrow?" I laughed, the sound rich and warm in the quiet room. "Especially if you ask for double chocolate. But don't push your luck—I'm not risking a full-on hospital lockdown." "Deal," she said, her laughter mingling with mine. I chatted with her briefly, and it didn't take long for the effects of the medicine she took to kick in before she fell asleep. I tucked her in and left the hospital at 12:30 PM, just thirty minutes before my appointment with a client. As I crossed the street, my thoughts drifted back to the night everything changed. Emma's treatment bills kept increasing every week. She was all the family I had left, and I was willing to do anything to keep her alive. Yet, no matter how many part-time jobs I juggled, the bills always outpaced my earnings. My financial situation was a sinking ship, and I was running out of ways to bail it out. Desperation led me to *that* website. They were recruiting escorts, and the pay was staggering—$40,000 for a single contract. It wasn’t enough to cover a full year of her treatments, but it was a lifeline compared to the paltry $500 I could scrape together in three months of grueling work. The virtual interview felt unreal. Carie, the woman conducting it, seemed almost too eager, her eyes appraising me with a mix of curiosity and approval. By the end of our conversation, she upped the offer to $100,000, promising to triple it if I “performed well.” The words made my stomach churn, but the thought of my sister’s smile steadied me. For her, I was willing to take the plunge. At 20, Carie became the first woman I slept with. She was impressed—enough to promote me on the website. Within days, I had over 16 clients vying for my time. One was a man, but I declined; that wasn’t what I signed up for. I wasn't gay and I could never imagine sticking my dick into a guy's rectum. He didn’t take it well. He left a scathing one-star review, tarnishing my perfect 10.0 rating and dropping it to a 9.9. That bastard. By the time I turned 24, I was earning over $1 million a year. I was one of the few who could satisfy women so thoroughly that they kept coming back, begging for more. The thrill of it began to seep into my veins and I was starting to enjoy it: the money, the pleasure, the endless stream of women—tight, wide, every kind of pussy imaginable—all while earning more in a night than I once did in a year. I never planned on settling down. In fact, I made it a rule to never sleep with the same woman twice. Over the years, countless proposals have come my way, but I always declined. Relationships weren’t my thing, and I had no interest in being tied down. That was until the algorithm presented me with a proposal that stopped me in my tracks. It appeared on my dashboard one evening. At first, I skimmed it out of curiosity, but the more I read, the more intrigued I became. The woman—Nina—was offering something I couldn't resist: she wanted a man to impregnate her. There are no strings attached and no expectations beyond that. It was bold, almost audacious, and it stirred something primal in me. I’ve always been careful. I never slept with a woman without protection, and I made sure to dispose of any evidence myself. The last thing I needed was a child I didn’t plan for, or a woman using pregnancy as leverage. But Nina’s proposal was different and the idea excited me. The thought of spilling my seeds into her over and over again until she was all swollen with life, and knowing I did it to her hardened my dick. The first time I met her, I told myself I’d satisfy my curiosity, walk away, and never look back. But the moment I tasted her, something shifted. There was a warmth to her, a raw, magnetic pull that I couldn’t resist. I thought I’d grow bored, as I always did, but instead, I found myself craving more. Her body moved with a rhythm that had me intoxicated with obsession. The way she rode me, her slick, tight warmth pressing down as if she wanted to swallow my dick whole, was unlike anything I’d ever experienced. Every time I left her, I told myself it would be the last. But I always found myself back at her doorstep, drawn to her like a moth to a flame. It had been seven days since I last saw her, and the desire was driving me mad. It didn’t take long before I found myself standing in front of the imposing doors of a sprawling mansion. The door creaked open, revealing a stern-faced servant—likely the butler—who ushered me inside without a word. His movements were precise, almost mechanical, as he led me down a dimly lit hallway and into a room that could only be described as a princess’s fantasy. The walls were a soft blush pink, adorned with delicate gold accents, and the air carried a faint scent of roses. The butler closed the door behind me with a quiet, respectful click. “I’ve been waiting for you,” a voice purred, smooth and velvety. I turned to see a striking woman with fiery red hair cascading over her shoulders. Her emerald-green eyes sparkled as she approached me, her heels clicking softly against the polished floor. She wore a seductive smile. I wasn’t here for pleasantries. Without a word, I shrugged off my shirt and let my pants fall to the floor, leaving me in nothing but my boxers. Her gaze lingered for a moment, and then she stepped closer, her fingers tracing slow, deliberate circles on my chest. Her touch was warm, almost electric, but I wasn’t in the mood for games. I caught her wrist gently but firmly, stopping her. “Let’s not waste time,” I said, my voice a bit cold. She raised an eyebrow, a playful smirk tugging at her lips. “Straight to the point, are we?” she teased, her breath warm against my skin as she leaned in, her lips inches from mine. I tilted my head back slightly, just enough to avoid her kiss. Her smirk faltered for a moment, a faint blush coloring her cheeks, but she quickly recovered, masking her embarrassment with a laugh. She stepped back, her fingers deftly working at the buttons of her dress. The fabric slid to the floor, pooling at her feet, and she stood there, confident and unashamed. I didn’t wait. I pulled off my boxers and stared at my cock in my hands.KANE I found myself staring at the naked woman in front of me, her youthful charm and perfectly proportioned curves making her undeniably attractive—the kind of woman who could easily be anyone’s ideal. She was exactly my type, the kind I’d normally be eager to be with. But as I reached down for my cock, my heart sank.My body wasn’t responding.*How? What the hell is going on?* I thought, panic creeping in. Normally, just the sight of a seductive, unclothed woman would be enough to get me going, but today was different. My mind raced. Was it because I hadn’t had sex in a week? Or had I somehow managed to break it?Shit! The red-haired woman stared back at me, her fake lashes fluttering in confusion and impatience. Sweat began to trickle down my back as I frantically tried to figure out what to do. *Think, damn it! Think!*Then my mind wandered to the only woman who had managed to occupy my thoughts again and again without fail. I imagined her completely bare, her fair legs spread
The doorbell rang, and I rushed to answer it, my heart pounding like a drum. My breath hitched as I reached for the doorknob. *Kane is here!* But when I swung the door open, my blood turned to ice. A shiver raced down my spine, and my fists clenched instinctively. There they stood—my mother and younger sister, Jenna, their smiles wide and unnervingly bright. Their expressions twisted my stomach into knots, and I swallowed hard, fighting the bile rising in my throat. It wasn’t the first time I’d felt this way today. “Well?” My mother’s voice cut through the silence, sharp and impatient. “Your sister and I traveled all the way from Las Vegas to New York to see you, and you leave us standing on the doorstep like strangers?” Her glare was piercing, her tone dripping with disdain. Jenna snorted beside her, arms crossed, her smirk as smug as ever. I stepped aside without a word, letting them in. The door clicked shut behind me, and I turned to find my mother surveying my apartment with
Then, I heard another knock on the door—firm, deliberate. This time, I knew without a doubt. It was Kane.I opened the door, and there he stood, his tall frame leaning casually against the doorframe. He wore a dark turtleneck that clung to his sculpted torso, the fabric stretching over well-defined abs, paired with fitted jeans that did nothing to hide the raw power beneath. He looked devastatingly handsome, effortlessly so.If I had any less self-control, I would have thrown myself at him, wrapped my arms around him, and never let go. That’s how much he had consumed my thoughts over the past week and a half.Before I could process what was happening, the world flipped. One moment, I was standing there, and the next, I was draped over his shoulder, my head dangling upside down near his lower back. A surprised gasp escaped me, realization hitting a second too late. He had moved so fast that I hadn't even registered it.Kane carried me to my new bed and laid me down with a gentleness th
KaneNina was out cold, sprawled across the sheets, her body marked with the aftermath of everything I had given her. A slow smirk tugged at my lips. She had taken all of me—every brutal thrust, every raw, unfiltered need I poured into her. And now, she lay there, wrecked and spent. Mine.It had been nearly six hours since she’d passed out, and soon, she would wake. I had no intention of letting her get up on shaky legs to fend for herself. She was drained. She needed to eat.I slipped out of bed, throwing on a pair of sweatpants before heading to the kitchen. Cooking wasn’t something I did for just anyone. It was a skill born out of necessity—one I had perfected after years of raising my little sister alone.Tonight, I would make her something rich, something that would replenish what I had taken.I stepped out to buy fresh ingredients, my mind still replaying the way she had looked beneath me, how her body had responded, how she had begged without even knowing she was begging. By th
My phone buzzed, and the name Madam Carie flashed across the screen. Without a second thought, I swiped left, ending the call before it could disrupt the quiet.I turned back to Nina, watching her face soft in sleep. Peaceful.But then—The screen lit up again. Madam Carie.My jaw tightened, rage coiling hot and sharp in my veins. The relentless buzzing grated against my nerves. My fingers twitched with the urge to hurl the damn phone against the wall, to shatter the device into a mess of glass and circuits just to silence her.But I didn’t.Instead, I exhaled slowly, forcing control over the simmering anger. Without hesitation, I powered off the phone and tossed it onto the nightstand.Whatever she wanted, which was, of course, sex. Whatever threats she thought she could dangle over my head—it didn’t matter. Not right now.Not when I had everything I wanted right here in this bed.Madam Carie could ruin me with a single decision just cause of her call that was left unanswered. She co
Kane smirked, leaning back in his chair, arms crossed over his chest as he watched me take another bite. “I’ll take that expression as a compliment,” he said smugly.I swallowed, narrowing my eyes at him. “Where did you learn to cook like this?”“A man has to have a few surprises up his sleeve,” he teased, tilting his head slightly. “Besides, I’ve had plenty of time to perfect my skills.”I arched a brow, unconvinced. “Between your, uh, demanding schedule?”He chuckled, the deep, velvety sound sending an involuntary shiver down my spine. “I find cooking relaxing. And watching you enjoy my food? That’s even better.”My heart fluttered, and I quickly looked down, focusing on my meal. I couldn’t afford to get swept away by his charm. Not when reality loomed so close, ready to shatter whatever fantasy I allowed myself to indulge in.Kane leaned in, his voice dropping to a near whisper. “You’re overthinking again, Nina.”I stiffened, my grip tightening around the spoon. “Am I not allowed t
Nina's PovBefore I knew it, I was back at work, and Kane didn’t bother hiding how pissed he was about it.At first, he outright refused to let me leave, insisting I needed more rest. He said I didn't need to work and if I wanted anything—anything at all—he could afford it, no matter the cost. I told him I was fine, strong enough to work, but he wouldn’t listen. He was incredibly adamant and relentless in a way that made it nearly impossible to argue.It took an eternity to leave. An eternity and a bribe—countless kisses and a quick, heated session that left me breathless and shaky. Even then, I had to be smart about it.Afterward, I took a shower to wash off the strong scent of sex, changed into casual clothes, and made my way to the window—one low enough to the ground that I could climb out without breaking my neck. At least, that was what I thought.I was already halfway out, one leg over the ledge, when his growl stopped me cold.“Don’t jump! That ground is way too far for you! Yo
Nina’s POVI slipped into the apartment like I was committing a crime. Shoes in one hand, purse clutched tightly in the other, I eased the door shut behind me with a soft click. My heart was thudding so hard, it filled the silence like a drumbeat.You disobeyed me.His voice from this morning echoed in my head—deep, dark, soaked in promise and threat.“And I’m going to punish you for it.”I didn’t know if he’d been teasing. With Kane, it was impossible to tell. But my body hadn’t stopped reacting since. Every time I remembered the way his gaze had lingered on me, the smirk that tugged at the corner of his mouth... I felt that bloom of heat low in my belly, a pulse between my thighs that refused to go away.I tiptoed down the hall, barefoot, quiet. I didn’t want to wake him if he was asleep.But part of me wanted to.I turned into the living room—and froze.He was already there. Waiting.Leaning against the wall like sin in human form. Shirt unbuttoned. Sleeves rolled up. Arms crossed.
The door slammed behind me, cutting off the noise of the outside world. I was home. I kicked off my shoes at the door, the click of them landing too loud in the silence. My father’s voice carried from the dining room, warm and inviting, as always.“Ava? Is that you?”I didn’t answer. I straightened my shoulders, took a breath, and walked to the dining room.The table was set, as always. The china gleamed, silverware polished. Everything was perfect. My father, in his crisp white shirt and black trousers, sat at the head, his hands folded in front of him. My mother was already seated, her gaze lifting from her phone as I entered, her smile warm.“Ava, how was your day?” my father asked, his voice as smooth and comforting as ever. The man was a saint in the eyes of the world, a respected figure. He had no idea what had just happened to me. What I'd done. “Fine,” I said, my voice too tight. “Quiet.”“Good,” he replied. “Good. I spoke with Director Johnson earlier. He said you’re doing w
I was still trembling when I came. My thighs quivered, clenching helplessly around Professor Damon’s cock as he emptied inside me, thick and hot. He groaned low in his chest, driving into me one last time, deep, possessive, marking me in every filthy, irreversible way.We stayed there for a moment—my back arched against the desk, his body covering mine, our sweat-slicked skin glued together, breathing ragged. The room was thick with the scent of sex, heat curling in the air even with the hum of the AC.But then—Knock.I jolted. My eyes flew open.Knock. Knock.And then a voice.“Professor Wolfe? Are you in there?”My heart plummeted into my stomach.That voice. That calm, familiar, warm voice.My father.Not just any man. Principal Clarke. Head of the school. Head of my home. And a highly respected pastor of our city's most powerful Catholic church.If he walked in and saw what had just happened-his daughter dripping with sex, the air heavy with sin, my professor still semi-hard from
“Think I didn’t notice?” he muttered, voice harsh and low. “Every time you crossed your arms under these tits in class. Every time you leaned forward while pretending to take notes. You’ve been asking for this.”I didn’t deny it. Couldn’t.My nipples tightened under his gaze, skin flushed with red palm print and hunger.“Beautiful,” he muttered, almost to himself.I pushed my tits together, and he thrust between them with a low groan. His cock slid through the soft swell of my cleavage, slick and hard, the head brushing against my chin each time he rocked forward.He gripped my shoulders and kept thrusting between my breasts, breathing heavy, hips snapping harder as his self-control frayed. The sound of skin on skin, our mingled breath, the wet slide of him through my cleavage—it was pure heat.“Open your mouth,” he growled.I did.The next thrust had the head of his cock brushing against my tongue, and I moaned at the taste of him—raw, masculine, overpowering. I flicked my tongue ove
Ava Clarke Doesn’t Give a DamnI walked into Professor Wolfe’s lecture like it was a goddamn catwalk—twenty minutes late, heels loud, dress short enough to start a fight. No apology. No eye contact. I just chewed gum and peeled off my sunglasses like I hadn’t just shattered his precious punctuality policy.The room went dead silent.Wolfe didn’t speak. Didn’t move. Just paused mid-sentence, chalk in hand, like someone had slapped the universe sideways.I chose the front row. Of course, I did.I slid into the seat slowly, thighs sticking to the wood, and let my skirt ride up even higher. Then I stretched. Arms over my head, back arched, skirt flipping just enough to flash the lace of my panties to the whole damn room.A few guys coughed. One dropped his pen.Wolfe turned around.And fuck me, he looked pissed.His sleeves were rolled to the elbows, tie loosened like it had tried to restrain him and failed. His jaw ticked once—just once—before he set the chalk down with a calmness so pre
NINA10:46PMI hummed softly as I padded toward our room with a mug of chamomile tea in hand, relishing the quiet for just a moment. The hallway was quiet and still, the kind of calm that only existed when Ezra was asleep and Kane hadn’t come up yet. I turned the corner—And stopped dead.There, halfway down the hallway near the guest room, Kendrick had Laila pinned gently against the wall, his lips on hers. Her hands were buried in his shirt, her body arching into his like this wasn’t the first time.I didn’t move. Couldn’t.What the hell?They didn’t see me at first. His head tilted slightly, deepening the kiss. Her fingers slipped into his hair like she knew every inch of him.Laila. My best friend.Kendrick. Kane's now closest friend.My throat tightened. Not from anger—but from the sheer weight of what the hell is going on and why didn’t I know?Then Laila opened her eyes.She froze, eyes locking with mine in pure panic.Kendrick turned, following her gaze, and when he saw me, h
NINAThe drive was calm and peaceful. Kane's hand rested over mine as we watched the city pass by, with golden sunlight stretching across the skyline. Ezra slept in his carrier behind us, and his soft, rhythmic breathing was the only sound we heard. “Kane,” I said for the third time, glancing sideways. “Are you going to tell me where we’re going?” His lips curved slightly. That smug look that always made my heart flutter. “You’ll see. We’re almost there.” I narrowed my eyes at him but let it go. The last few weeks had been a haze of diapers, midnight feedings, and deep, aching love for the tiny soul we brought into the world. I hadn’t had much time—or energy—to think about surprises. But when we turned down a quiet street I didn’t recognize, something shifted in the air. He slowed the car in front of a large gated property. The iron gates opened automatically as we approached, revealing a long stone-paved driveway flanked by blooming white rose bushes and tall, swaying cypre
Epilogue 2: NINA Two Weeks Later The nursery was quiet, except for the soft creak of the rocking chair and the faint, rhythmic breaths of the baby sleeping in my arms. My son. Our son. He was bundled in a gray blanket, his little fists curled tight near his face, his mouth puckered in that serious expression he wore even while sleeping—just like his father. I brushed my thumb over his cheek, still marveling at the fact that he was real. That I was still here. I almost thought that this was all a dream and that I'd wake up to find myself back in that rundown apartment, alone once again. His name was Ezra. Kane picked it. Said it meant “helper,” but when I’d looked it up and found out it also meant “protector,” I knew. Knew it was perfect. Because Ezra was both of us. The fire and the fight. The light after the dark. The door creaked open behind me, and I didn’t have to look to know it was Kane. His footsteps were always heavier—but quieter now, like he’d learned how t
Epilogue 1: KANENine Months PregnantThe house was too quiet.Nina was curled on the couch, a thick knit blanket draped over her swollen belly. She had one hand resting there, thumb absently tracing little circles over the fabric of her shirt, while her other hand clutched a steaming mug of tea. Chamomile. Her favorite.I stood in the doorway, watching her.Nine months.Nine months since I carried her out of hell. Since I held her trembling body and promised I’d never let anyone hurt her again. And I hadn’t. Not once.She shifted, eyes catching mine. That soft, tired smile she gave me still hit like a punch to the chest.“Hey,” she said, voice rough with sleep and something warmer. “You’re staring.”“I do that sometimes,” I murmured, walking over. “Can’t help it.”She raised an eyebrow. “Because I’m huge?”“Because you’re mine,” I corrected, kneeling beside the couch. My hand slid beneath hers on her belly, and I felt the faintest kick against my palm.Our Son.“He's getting strong,”
**KANE** Miss Carie stood silhouetted against the storm-lashed sky, her black coat billowing like the wings of some great carrion bird. The guards flanking her were no ordinary mercenaries—they were hers, cold-eyed and still as statues, rifles locked onto our center mass. No twitch. No wasted movement. Professionals. And behind her— Nina.Tied to that damned chair, her bare feet dangling over the abyss. The rope around her wrists had bitten into her skin, leaving angry red marks. Her dress—the same soft blue one she’d worn the morning they took her—fluttered in the gale, the fabric snapping like a flag in the wind. But it was her eyes that cut deepest. The way they found mine, not with fear, but with a quiet, furious promise. I’m still here—alive. And that was all I needed. Miss Carie followed my gaze and smiled. “You always did have a type,” she mused, stepping closer to Nina. Her gloved hand trailed along Nina’s shoulder, possessive. “Soft. Sweet. Breakable. Do as I say, kneel
