“Guys…I’m so close,” I gasp, taking a moment to catch my breath and then returning my mouth to Antonio.
“Let go, babe,” Benedict urges, his voice thick with lust. “We’ll go together.”
Antonio’s eyes meet mine, a silent agreement passing between us. In that moment, something shifts within me—a release of control, an acceptance of pure pleasure.
I cry out around Antonio’s cock as waves of ecstasy crash over me, my entire body trembling with overwhelming satisfaction. My climax triggers theirs, and soon we’re all spiraling into bliss together.
“Harper!” Antonio groans, surrendering to his own orgasm as he fills my mouth with his warmth. At the same time, Benedict finds his release, his body tensing behind me as he spills himself inside me.
“Damn…” Benedict pants, his grip on my hips gentler now. “That was…wow.”
I can barely form coherent thoughts, let alone speak them aloud, as I try to process what just happened. It’s as if every emotion, every sensation, has been amplified tenfold.

HARPER
“Take all the time you need,” I laugh as I step out of the bathroom, leaving Antonio and Benedict behind to wash their hands. It doesn’t take long for me to quickly find our abandoned cart and go back to looking for gifts. I weave through the crowded aisles, my eyes scanning the shelves for the perfect presents. Each item I pick up feels like a small victory, bringing me one step closer to making this Christmas unforgettable for my kids.
As I round the corner into the home goods section, my heart skips a beat when I see him.No, this can’t be real.Ian. My abusive ex. He’s leaning against the display, an unsettling grin plastered across his face. He knew exactly how to find me.
Did he know earlier? Has he been playing me this whole time?
He reaches out and grabs hold of my arm, stopping me in my tracks. That familiar feeling of dread washes over me, making it hard to breathe. I need to get the hell out of here.
“Harper,” he drawls, his voice dripping with malice. “Long time no see.”
“Let go of my cart, Ian,” I warn, trying to keep my voice steady.
His grip tightens, and his smile widens. “Now, now, Harper, is that any way to greet your fiancé?”
My heart hammers against my chest as I attempt to pull away from Ian’s iron grip. His fingers dig into my arm, leaving crescent-shaped imprints on my skin. Fear coils in the pit of my stomach, a snake tightening its hold with each breath I take.
“Isn’t it funny,” he begins, his voice oozing with sarcasm, “how we always seem to run into each other? You can’t escape me, Harper.”
“Let go of me,” I demand, clenching my teeth and trying to channel the strength I’ve found within myself since breaking free from him.
“Yeah, I won’t be doing that. It’s time for us to go home.”
His words cut through me like shards of glass, but I refuse to let him see how much they hurt. The thought of returning to a life with him is a nightmare I escaped from long ago. It’s time for me to stand my ground.
“Home?” I challenge, my voice trembling with rage and fear. “I have a home, and it’s not with you.”
“Harper,” he whispers into my ear, sending chills down my spine, “you know you’ll never be free of me. I won’t let you.”
I swallow hard, feeling the weight of his presence threatening to suffocate me. But beneath my fear lies a burning fire, fueled by every cruel word and bruise he ever inflicted upon me. And right now, that fire is screaming for me to fight back.
“We’re done, Ian. What part of that don’t you understand?”
He bends in close. “I’ll never let you go.”
A cold shiver runs down my spine as I scan the bustling store, searching for Antonio and Benedict. They’re still in the bathroom, unable to hear my silent plea for help. Desperation clings to me like a second skin, but I refuse to let Ian see how vulnerable I feel.
“Let. Me. Go.” Each word leaves my mouth with as much force as I can muster, my heart pounding wildly in my chest.
“Or what?” Ian challenges, his eyes narrowing into slits. “You really think you can stand against me? You were always so weak, Harper.”
I will never let him control me again.
