This story contains mature themes and is intended for adult readers only.
“Miss Valmere, the jet is ready,” one of my guards shouted, I didn’t answer, only tightened my grip on the umbrella as lightning split the sky. My family expected me to board for London, attending a charity gala with all the smiles and protocols, but that was a lie.
Tonight, I wasn’t going to London...... I was running, and every step toward freedom felt like walking through quicksand.
My phone vibrated insistently in my pocket, Caelum’s name flashing across the screen. I silenced it without hesitation.
All that mattered was the choice I had made weeks ago, the one my family would never forgive, the one that had consumed my every thought. Loving him was dangerous, forbidden, and reckless, but even knowing that, I couldn’t turn away.
I had taken only a few steps when blinding headlights cut through the storm, followed by the screech of tires on wet concrete. A black SUV skidded onto the tarmac, its doors flying open before I could react. Men in masks poured out, moving with terrifying precision, their weapons trained and ready. “Down!” one of guards shouted, and instinctively, I hit the ground, but a gloved hand grabbed my arm and yanked me backward.
I screamed, twisting violently, only to have another hand clamp over my mouth. Panic surged, and my heart pounded so fast I thought it would burst.
Then a single gunshot rang out, splitting the storm like glass. The man holding me crumpled to the wet tarmac, and I scrambled to my feet, drenched, shivering, and frozen in shock.
Through the chaos, I saw him. Tall, calm, lethal, moving with an almost inhuman precision.
Luther Cain.
The man I should have hated, the man I was supposed to avoid at all costs, the man I had foolishly let into my heart. He moved through the attackers like a force of nature, each motion calculated and devastatingly effective, until the tarmac fell silent except for the rain and my ragged breathing.
“Get in the car,” he said, his voice low, measured, leaving no room for argument. My legs moved before I could protest, carrying me toward the sleek black vehicle waiting near the edge of the runway.
Everyone in the corporate world knew his reputation, his power, and his unpredictability. I climbed into the car, soaked to the bone, trembling from adrenaline and something else I didn’t want to name.
The car cut through the storm in near silence. I kept my eyes on the rain streaked window, mind racing with every headline. 'CEO' who toppled governments. Man who made the world kneel to Cain Dominion. And yet here he was, my savior. My lover. My enemy. I couldn’t summon anger. Instead, I swallowed hard and finally asked, “Did you plan that? The attack?”
His eyes didn’t leave the road, but the corner of his mouth curved slightly.
“Stage a hero’s rescue to earn your gratitude?” he said. “If I wanted you dead, you wouldn’t be asking that question now.”
The car emerged from the tunnel into the basement of one of his towers overlooking Geneva. The elevator ride was silent, and when the doors opened, I stepped into a penthouse that was more fortress than home, glass walls, metal counters, monitors glowing faint blue, the faint ozone smell of rain carried inside.
I went straight to the window, staring down at the city, trying to steady my racing heart. “Why did you save me?” I asked, my voice barely above the rain outside.
He poured a drink slowly, his movements calm, precise, and deliberate, the kind of control I had never been able to resist. “Because I don’t like watching people die,” he said finally, dark eyes locking onto mine.
I swallowed, trying to reconcile the man who could ruin empires with the man who had just saved my life. “Is this business, then?” I asked quietly, tension threading my voice.
He smirked. “Everything is business,” he said. “Even saving you.”
I opened my mouth to argue, but he stepped closer, close enough that the faint scent of rain and smoke clung to him. His fingers brushed my jaw and it made my pulse spike.
“I told you,” he murmured, “being with me will destroy everything you.”
“Maybe I don’t care anymore,” I whispered, unable to hide the defiance or the truth.
I am alone with our greatest rival and.... my secret lover. But I had always been drawn to forbidden things.
“Deborah,” he murmured, voice low and intimate. “You're so stubborn.” He moved toward me again with predatory grace. I backed up until I bumped against the mahogany desk, nowhere else to go.
“I shouldn’t be here,” I whispered. The smell of rain in his body enveloped me. “If anyone found out…”
“Let them,” Luther said with a smirk, pressing closer. His hands came to rest on either side of my hips, caging me in. “I don’t care what anyone thinks. I want you, and I always get what I want.”
He leaned in and captured my lips in a searing kiss. I stiffened for a moment, then melted into him with a sigh. His lips were firm and insistent, tongue delving deep to taste me. I ran my hands up his chest to curl around his neck, fingers tangling in his hair.
Luther pushed me down onto the table, scattering papers and pens. His mouth never left mine. He nudged my thighs apart and settled between them, grinding his hardening length against my core. I moaned into his mouth, hips rocking up to meet him.
“Luther,” I gasped as we broke for air. “We can’t do this.” But my body betrayed me, nipples pebbling dampening with desire.
“We can, baby,” he purred, trailing open mouthed kisses down my throat. His hands slid up to palm my breasts through my clothes. “And we will.” He tugged down the bodice, exposing my breasts. His hot mouth closed around one peaked nipple, sucking hard.
“Ahh!” I cried out, back arching. My fingers clenched in his hair as he lavished attention on each breast in turn, licking and nibbling until I was writhing beneath him. He kissed a path down my trembling stomach to the junction of my thighs.
Luther pushed up my skirt and hooked his fingers in my panties, dragging them down my legs. He flipped up my skirt and exposed my glistening folds to his hungry gaze.
“Fuck, you’re so wet for me already,” he groaned. Without warning, he buried his face between my thighs and licked a long stroke through my slit.
Luther sucked and licked my swollen clit as two fingers delved deep into my dripping pussy. He curled them to hit my g-spot with each thrust while his tongue flicked over my nub. The dual stimulation quickly pushed me to the edge.
“Luther, I....I'm...” I panted, clutching at his shoulders. He doubled his efforts and sent me flying with a sharp cry.
"Let it go, baby." My inner walls spasmed around his fingers as ecstasy crashed over me.
Before I’d even caught my breath, Luther flipped me over and yanked up my skirt. He shoved down his pants just enough to free his throbbing cock. With one hard thrust, he buried himself to the hilt in my still fluttering channel.
“Oh god!” I wailed, fisting my hands in the desk blotter. I pushed back against him as he pistoned in and out of my slick heat. The obscene sound of flesh slapping flesh filled the room along with our panting breaths and moans of pleasure.
“Fuck, baby!” Luther groaned, hands gripping my hips tight enough to bruise. “Your pussy is gripping me so tight.” He reached around to rub my clit in time with his deep thrusts. My cries grew higher pitched as another climax built rapidly.
“Luther.... aaah!” I whimpered. “Please Luther, don’t stop!” He pounded into me harder, the desk creaking under the force of his thrusts. My pussy clamped down on his cock like a vise.
“Fuck yes,” Luther roared as my rippling walls milked his own release from him. He slammed deep one final time and spilled himself inside me with hot spurts, filling me to overflowing. We collapsed together onto the desk, bodies still joined as we gasped for breath.
“We shouldn’t do this again,” I said unconvincingly, “It’s too risky.”
Luther just smirked and leaned in close, voice low and seductive. “It’s the risk that makes it so exciting. And I know you love it as much as I do.” He pressed a firm kiss to my lips.
“Fix your hair,” Luther said, his voice dropping to a low, lethal hum as he grabbed his jacket. “The game just changed.”

I didn't tell him to stop.
Instead, my fingers curled into his shirt, clutching the fabric as though it was my only anchor. Something in him snapped—something he had been holding back for too long. His mouth found mine in a kiss that wasn't tender, but hungry, desperate.
I gasped into him, his hand sliding up to cup my jaw, holding me as if afraid I might vanish.
"You drive me insane," he breathed against my mouth, his lips trailing to my throat. "I can't lose you, Ella. Not you."
My head fell back, a soft sound escaping me as his fingers memorized my waist. My anger melted beneath his desperation.
"James..." I whispered, more plea than protest.
His hand caught mine, fingers threading together tightly. "I'll bring him back. I swear it. Just... don't turn away from me. Please."
The word please—low, ragged, almost broken—undid me more than anything else could have.

The CEO's Unspoken Love
Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.
My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...

The Dragon's Last Fae Queen
“Prince? Dickhead? Asshole? Or stalker?” A slow, dangerous smile curved his lips. “Maybe I should show you the one title I want you to use.” Before I could react, his hand closed around my chin, tilting my face up. His lips crashed into mine, hard, claiming, breath-stealing. When he finally pulled back, his voice was a rough whisper against my lips. “You could call me yours… because you are mine.”
