It was never Mila's intention to send explicit images of herself to her crush's father. The realization that her dad's best friend had seen her nude was a nightmarish thought she wished to wake up from. To her surprise, Mr. Williams requested another naked picture of her. But she couldn't comply. He was her crush's father and her father's best friend. How could she possibly act like nothing had happened when they were coming over for dinner? Feeling trapped as Mr. Williams cornered her. He used one hand to pull up the bottom of her dress and the other to grab a handful of her hair, forcing her to arch her back. "Please," Mila whispered. "Please, Mr. Williams." A moan involuntarily escaped her lips as she felt his erection pressing against her buttocks. "You have no idea how much power I hold over you, Mila," he murmured. "Anything I desire, you will give me, or do you want me to show your father the picture you sent me?" Mila's grip on the counter grew tighter as she pushed her backside against him. This was all a mistake. It felt so wrong. "What do you want?" she asked. "You, on your knees in front of me."

My hand reflectively went around my shoulders, and I tried to step away from him, hitting the hard wall instead. I winced and slid to the floor, unsure what to do next. "W-what?" I asked, stunned, or at least pretending to be. Anything to buy me time. What did he mean by strip? Like, get naked?! Me?! I blinked slowly, stunned by his audacity. "Are you deaf, Princess?" Malakai crouched to my level, his elbows resting on his thighs as he leaned a little closer. His hands trailed my chin, down to my neck, and my breathing stifled. "You have nothing to be afraid of." I must have misunderstood why he was called the devil's vessel. It wasn't for his cruelty. It was for his charms. * Aramiah Vernon, daughter of Evergloom Pack, walks in on her mate cheating on her with her cousin!
