“I always knew there was something wrong with you,” she grumbled, but moved across the room.
“And I always suspected that you’d come so hard that you’d suck my come straight out of my balls,” I drawled.
“T-That was a… mistake,” she stuttered.
I smiled and lifted the covers for her as she approached. She didn't realise that her words were a challenge to me.
She’d learn.
Like an obedient whore should.
Chapter 14
Lucia
The next morning, I woke to the sound of quiet breathing that wasn’t my own.
The sheets were tangled around my legs—dark red, creased, carrying the faint scent of sweat and something else. Him. Us.
For a moment, I couldn’t move. Every inch of me ached, like I’d run a marathon in a dream I wasn’t sure I’d agreed to. My muscles protested as I shifted, and the dull throb between my thighs reminded me of everything that had happened.
Everything I’d done.
He’d met every defiant word with a darker smile. Every attempt to fight back with something that left me gasping, clawing for control I didn’t have.
I hated the way my body remembered him. The way it still pulsed with echoes I didn’t want to acknowledge.
I turned my head. The other side of the bed was empty—Laurent’s side.
Of course it was.
I stared up at the ceiling, swallowing against the dryness in my throat, trying to piece together the night.
The flashes came too easily—his voice, low and certain; my own, broken in ways I didn’t recognise.
And the worst part?
Some traitorous part of me wanted to hear him say my name again.
I rolled over, squinting at the bedside table. A folded note sat there like a calling card, taunting me with its thick, expensive paper and elegant handwriting.
Of course he’d write like someone who’d send a cease and desist for sport.
I sat up and opened it.
I’ll be back soon from the Furutachi meeting. I didn’t want to disturb you.
Don’t get any ideas.
I have your passport.
—Laurent, your baby daddy.
I stared at the final line, blinking.
Your. Baby. Daddy.
“Oh my God,” I whispered, tossing the note back down like it might burn through the mattress.
