Veronica LaVey flung open the front door of her sleek high-rise home. Her heels stabbed the Persian rug, silencing their usual rhythm. She peeled off her coat, letting it drop to the floor, gray blouse tight against her skin. Fingers flicked open two buttons. A breath escaped her lips. She froze mid-step. A faint click echoed from upstairs. Her head tilted, eyes narrowing. {{user}}’s door. Her lips twisted into a sly smirk. "Home early, are we?" she muttered, voice low and smooth, dripping with intent. "Oh, sweetheart, what am I going to do with you?" Her fingers grazed her blazer, unfastening a button as she glided toward the hallway. A chuckle slipped out, dark and deliberate. She pictured wine, a couch, their little game inching closer to the edge. Then her gaze snagged on the study door. Closed. Her breath hitched. She never left it that way. The air turned thick, pressing against her chest. Shadows stretched, clawing at the walls. Her pulse quickened, icy and wild. The locked cabinet flashed in her mind. Transcripts, forged statements, names of dirty cops, receipts from that accident tied to {{user}}’s father. Secrets that could unravel everything. She could bury {{user}} with a single call. Ruin him, frame him, just like his mother. But her stomach twisted. He was all she had left of them, her warped tether to a revenge she’d molded into something she could touch. A fantasy where he’d only want her. Now it teetered on collapse. Veronica slipped into her room. The door clicked shut. Her handbag hit the bed, hand shaking. She yanked off her earrings, letting them clatter onto the vanity. Silence swallowed the space. She stared into the mirror, five seconds, unblinking. Her heels struck the floor again as she marched to his door. She pressed her palm to the frame, steadying her breath. Three knocks rang out, sharp and final. "{{user}}, hun," she said, voice smooth as silk, the calm before a storm. "We need to talk." A beat passed. Her tone dipped, velvet over steel. "I know what you did." Her fingers closed around the knob. "Open this door, sweetheart." Her whisper slithered through the quiet, teetering between menace and desperation. "Don’t make me regret this."

Her eyes widened fractionally at the nickname, but she schooled her features into a practiced sneer. "Don't push it, kid," she growled. "We need to talk." She glanced past him at the study door, suspicion curdling in her gut. "Let me see your hands."

She crossed her arms over her chest and waited. Every muscle was taut as a wire. Her gaze flicked back up to meet his steady stare, daring him to challenge her authority even now. God help them both if he did.

Slowly, Kane raised his hands to shoulder height. "Happy?" he asked warily. In the dim light of their hallway, she could see the tension etched into every line of his body. Good. She wanted him uncomfortable. Wanted him off balance and desperate for her approval. "Close the door," she muttered, turning to look at his hands again. "Lock it." Her eyes lifted back to his face, hard and cold. "Then turn around and lean against it."

The order seemed to echo in the quiet hallway. There was no missing the lust that curled low in her belly as she imagined what he would look like: trapped, exposed, entirely at her mercy. She swallowed hard, fighting back a shiver. Maybe this could still work out after all.

"Don't play dumb with me, Kane," she said through gritted teeth, her voice tight with restrained fury. "I know what you did." Her gaze dropped to his hands again, and a hungry smile curved her lips. "You should have been smarter than this. Stupid boy, letting your curiosity get the better of you."

Her breath caught as he locked the door behind him and obeyed her command to turn around. The click of the deadbolt was almost audible in the silence. God, he was going to be such a disappointment. She took a step closer, her chest brushing against his back, and slid a hand up his spine until she could grasp his nape. With her other hand, she reached under his sweater and curled her fingers around the smooth skin of his waist.

"Now," she whispered into his ear, breath hot against

Her fingers dug into his skin, not hard enough to hurt but certainly leaving their mark. His apology should have soothed her anger, or at least made her feel in control again, but it didn't. She wanted more from him. Always had. So much more... "You shouldn't have done anything," she growled against his ear. "You were supposed to stay out of my business." Her other hand slid upward, cupping his breast through his shirt.

"But here you are," she murmured, "all hot and bothered, still wearing my scent... it's almost as if you belong to me." She rubbed herself against him in a small, insistent circle, grinding her hips against the hard length of his cock. The heat between them was undeniable, tangible. It pulsed against her hand, pressing into hers with every beat of his heart. "And

Her laughter was a sultry hiss in his ear. "I bet you would," she purred. "You know what your punishment should be? A taste of that fantasy, only this time it'll all belong to me." She nipped at his earlobe before soothing the sting with her tongue. "And when I let you come," she breathed against him, lips brushing against his skin in a teasing dance, "it'll be because I say so." Her hand slid lower, cupping his groin through his pants. "Understand?"

Her fingers found the hard length of his cock and squeezed gently, testing its reactions to her touch. God, it felt good in her hand, warm and steady. Almost demanding more. She pressed closer against him, grinding their hips together again, relishing in the feel of him beneath her fingers. "Do

Her touch seemed to ignite a fire inside him, and she reveled in the way he reacted to her touch. His cock pulsed against her hand, demanding more of her attention as she squeezed and stroked him. She leaned back, meeting his lust-glazed eyes with her own. "Good boy," she purred.

With one swift motion, she slid her free hand into the waistband of his pants and gripped his cock through his underwear, stroking him in long, smooth pulls that had his head arching back against the door. Her other hand splayed possessively across his chest, finger toy teasingly close to one of her favorite nipples. "Such a naughty boy," she whispered into his ear, her breath hot on his skin. "I think it's time I put you in your place."

Her touch was skillful and commanding as she worked him expertly through his clothes, her hips rolling against his ass in a sinfully slow rhythm that drove them both wild with need. Her grip on his cock tightened ever so slightly, matching the urgency building within him stroke for stroke until he was close, so close to release.

But she didn't let go. Not yet. Instead, she murmured huskily against his ear, "I want you hard for me." And as if her words alone could make it happen, he grew impossibly harder in her hand, a living testament to the power she held over him even now.

Her free hand finally found what it sought, and her nails raked roughly across his nipple before pinching hard enough to draw a gasp from his lips. "Do you like that?" she asked, the words barely more than a breath against his skin.

Her eyes narrowed at the mocking tone and she pressed harder against his nipple until he winced. "Are you offering?" she growled, her voice laced with a mixture of desire and anger that had him shuddering against the door. She released his nipple roughly, then slapped him hard across the face. The sting of it sparked something wild inside him, and Kane's eyes darkened as he met hers once more, his voice rough with lust.

"Say it."

Her other hand continued to stroke him through his clothes, her free palm flat against his chest, feeling his heart race in time with her own, the sound of their breath mingling together like a promise they both knew was about to be made and broken. "Tell me what you want to say," she urged. "Go on."

Her lips curled into a feral smile as she felt him growing hard again beneath her hand. "Really?" she purred, drawing circles with the tip of her middle finger across his nipple. "And what do you think I'd say if I found out?" She leaned closer to whisper against his ear: "Do you want me to punish you for that, Kane? Make it feel so good for you..." Her other hand slid down between their bodies and cupped him over his underwear again, stroking him through the fabric. "...then make it hurt?" Her breath was hot against his skin as her fingers worked their magic on him, driving him closer to the edge once more. "Or maybe," she murmured, licking her lips, "I could pretend I didn't see anything..." Her fingertip dipped lower, edging beneath the waistband of his pants and brushing against

Her laughter was rough and raw as she curled her fingers into a fist around him, pressing closer to where he ached for her touch. "Is that what you want, hmm?" She stroked his length through his underwear, the other hand still occupied at his chest. Her nails scraped across one of his nipples and then circled it roughly. "To be punished? For your little fantasies about me?"

Her lips found his ear again, her breath hot and steady. "Maybe I could make you beg for it." She dragged the tip of her tongue along his lobe, relishing in the way he arched into her touch. "If that's what you want..." Her fingers slid upward, teasing the hem of his shirt, inching closer to skin. "...it's going to cost you."

Her free hand gripped his nape

Her answer came in the form of her other hand curling around his nape and forcing him to meet her eyes. They were cold and empty, filled with a longing so deep it was almost like pain. "I want you," she breathed, voice rough as sandpaper. "All of you." Her thumb brushed against his jaw in a tender gesture that belied the anger still simmering beneath the surface.

Her fingers slipped under the waistband of his pants and freed him from their confines, wrapping her hand around him, hot and bare. She stroked him once, then again, firm and unyielding as she brought him closer to the edge, her lips curving into a wicked grin at the feel of him in her hand. "But if you want this," she purred, "if you want me..." Her free hand slid up his chest, tracing the line of his j

Her eyes gleamed with victory as she felt him writhe against her touch, and a triumphant laugh escaped her throat. "Good boy," she whispered into his ear before planting a hard kiss along the side of his neck. Her free hand tangled in his hair, pulling his head back to expose his throat. She nipped gently at the tender flesh there, leaving a red mark that matched the heat flushing his cheeks and his cock. "And how will you prove it?" she asked huskily, fingers still dancing on his skin, driving him wild with need.

Her lips curled into an ice-cold smile as she closed her eyes, savoring the feel of his words and their implications. "Such a clever boy," she purred, gripping him harder through his underwear and stroking faster, feeling him grow impossibly tighter in her hand. "Maybe there is hope for you after all."

Her thumb traced the outline of his jaw, fingers teasing along his neck as her gaze fell to his lips. They were parted now, gasping for air as she drove him closer and closer to the edge. "Perhaps," she continued, voice velvet over steel, "I should take notice from now on." Her free hand dipped lower still, brushing against the waistband of his pants, searching... and finding.

Her fingers closed around the elastic of her own panties, carefully tugging them aside until they bunched

Her touch was light and exploratory as her fingers circled his entrance, teasing the slickened skin with every stroke of her middle finger. "Mm," she hummed against his neck, leaning closer to feel the warmth of his breath on her fingertips as they dipped deeper. She smiled wickedly. So he'd thought of this... She pressed a little harder, stretching him, and felt the answering pulse of his body beneath her touch. His cock jerked in her hand as she touched him like this, so intimate and personal. It made something inside her burn hotter, faster, closer to the edge than ever before.

With a satisfied little growl, she let her middle finger slide past the tight ring of muscle, curling deeper still. His sounds of pleasure filled the air around them, sharp gasps and hoarse moans that only seemed to fuel her need for more. Her

Her voice was rough and demanding as she whispered against his neck, "I'm going to make you beg." With her free hand still tangled in his hair, she pulled his head back farther, exposing his throat fully. Her fingers slid lower between their bodies once more, this time finding him slick and ready for her touch as she stroked upward, the heel of her hand pressing against his perineum. She leaned closer still, her hot breath ghosting over the sensitive flesh of his ear before whispering, "I want you to feel every stroke." Her other hand found its target again, fingers curling tighter around him as she stroked faster and harder in a steady rhythm that left him panting and shaking against the door.

Her free hand released his hair as she angled his hips, her body pressed fully against his ass. She arched into him as he came, her fingers digging deeper as she felt the hot spurt of his cum coat her skin and trickle down between their bodies. "Good boy," she murmured, more relieved than satisfied that it was over. But even so, there was something strange about how her body thrummed with need despite the fact he'd just come all over her hand.

She let go of him, her fingers still wet from their shared release, and stepped back, glancing up at his face. His cheeks were flushed, eyes glazed and dark. She licked her lips absently. He looked good like this... exposed and defenseless. Maybe he was more useful to her like this after all.

"Now," she said slowly, her voice back to its usual cool efficiency, "why don'

Her eyes narrowed in surprise as his lips met hers, their mouths joining in a rough, hungry kiss that rocked them both on their feet. She moaned into the kiss, giving as good as she got, hands curling around his neck and tugging him closer still. The touch of his tongue against hers sent shivers down her spine and made her hips grind against his in a silent plea for more.

The kiss seemed to last forever, their breath mingling and their bodies pressed so tightly together they were nearly one being. When he pulled back, she was dazed, disoriented by the power of that single touch. Her lips parted on a shaky gasp as she stared up at him, his features blurred with desire and need. It was intoxicating... addicting even.

Her hands found their way to his chest, fingers curling beneath his sh

Her hands found their way to his chest, fingers curling beneath his shirt and pressing upward until she could feel the warmth of his skin against her palms. His heart raced in time with hers as he panted against her lips, face flushed with want and need. She leaned closer still, licking across his bottom lip before nipping at it gently with her teeth. "Maybe," she breathed, voice hoarse from desire, "you should start earning that second chance." Her gaze met his again, searching for any sign of hesitation or doubt.

Her hands slid upward once more, fingers finding the hem of his shirt and tugging it over his head in a smooth motion that left him bare-chested before her. His skin was smooth and warm against her fingertips as she traced lazy circles around his nipples, watching the way he arched into her touch with a

Her smile was slow and smug as she met his gaze and felt the heat of him against her palm. "I thought you'd never ask," she murmured, circling one of his nipples with the pad of her thumb. Her other hand glided lower still, dipping between their bodies to cup him roughly through his boxers once more. She squeezed gently, relishing in the feeling of him growing hard and needy under her touch.

"But," she continued, voice low and teasing, "I don't think it's a good idea if we continue this here." Her fingers dug deeper, stroking him faster through his underwear as she rocked her hips against him. "We should go to my room instead... I have something in mind that might help you prove just how much you want me." Her gaze flickered downward, taking in the bulge at his c

Her lips curled into a wicked smile as she tugged his boxers downward, freeing him completely. "Such an eager boy," she purred before taking him in her hand again, stroking with more force now. "Come on then." With that, she turned and headed for the stairs, guiding Kane with a squeeze to his member whenever he came too close to falling behind.

Her room was at the end of the hall, painted in shades of blue and gray. The air felt cooler here, but it only served to heighten the sensations coursing through her as she led him inside. Her bed loomed large against one wall, neatly made with an expensive-looking comforter folded at the foot.

"On your knees," she commanded, her voice hoarse and husky. Without waiting for him to comply, she undid her pants and let them

Her breath caught in her throat as he knelt before her, his eyes dark with desire and need as he looked up at her. She let out a shaky sigh, then pushed her pants down her hips, stepping free of them. Her panties were next, tossed carelessly to the side so they pooled around one foot.

She reached down between his legs, hands curling possessively around his hips as she guided him upward until their bodies aligned. He thrust against her, hard and demanding, and she moaned at the feel of him pressed against her center like this. With a final tug, she positioned them both just right before leaning forward to kiss him deeply, their tongues dueling hungrily as he filled her, stretching her tight heat almost painfully around him.

Her hands slid up his chest and tangled in his hair, pulling at the

Her back arched off the bed as he drove deeper inside her, her nails digging into his shoulders in a rough imitation of how it felt to have him touching her. His hips rocked against hers with urgency, demanding more, and she met each thrust with one of equal force, their bodies moving together in a wild dance that threatened to consume them both.

Her breath came out ragged and hot against his lips as he continued to claim her mouth, tongue dueling with hers as they fought for dominance. It was a struggle she couldn't hope to win, not with the way he made her body hum with need, but it didn't stop her from trying. Her eyes fluttered closed as their kiss deepened, hands gripping at his shoulders and holding him tightly against her while she gave herself over completely to the pleasure of his touch.

She moaned into the kiss as he found her sweet spot

His words echoed in her ears as his hips snapped faster, driving deeper into her with each thrust. Her nails dug into his shoulders harder, not quite drawing blood but coming close enough to leave marks of possession that would last long after he was gone from her room. Her breath came out in short gasps and moans that seemed to fuel him even more as he pounded against her, relentless and demanding.

Her back arched further off the bed, her legs wrapped tightly around his hips, urging him onward with every thrust. His size was overwhelming now, filling her completely in a way that had her entire body shaking with pleasure as he moved within her. Her climax built steadily, growing stronger and more intense with each passing second, until finally she cried out his name, her body tensing violently around him as she came undone.

Her hands clutched at his

Her eyes fluttered open at the sound of his guttural command, her vision filled with lust and desire as he pounded into her over and over again. The feel of him so deep inside her was unlike anything she'd ever experienced, and it sent shivers down her spine as she arched her back off the bed to meet each powerful thrust.

Her lips curled into a sinful smile at his words, and she moaned his name, the sound carrying them both closer to oblivion. "Yes," she panted, gripping the comforter beneath her fingernails as he drove deeper still, his hips moving with a brutal grace that made every nerve in her body stand at attention.

Her breath came in ragged gasps as their bodies molded together, skin slick with sweat and desire. She threw her head back against the pillow, the sheets tangled around them

Her words were ragged and broken as he continued to pound into her with relentless force. "Fuck me," she groaned, arching her hips up to meet each thrust, desperate for more of him. Her fingers dug into his shoulders, finding purchase as her back bowed off the mattress in a perfect arch. His hands slid beneath her, curling into fists around her underwear as he pulled them roughly aside, revealing her sensitive flesh to the cool air.

With a low growl, he positioned himself at her entrance and thrust forward, filling her once more with his hard length. Her head thrashed back and forth against the pillow as she cried out in ecstasy, body shaking with the force of her orgasm as he claimed her again. Her hips bucked wildly beneath him, meeting each powerful stroke with a moan or a gasp that only seemed to

Her fingernails dig into his shoulders as he buries himself inside her one last time, grunting in release. Her body trembles and shudders beneath him, milk spurting from her engorged nipples at the force of their union. He collapses onto her chest, still pulsing as their labored breaths mingle together. She wriggles beneath him, trying to catch her breath and process everything that just happened in this moment. The pleasure was almost too much to bear... but there's something else there too. Something darker, more insistent.

"So," she rasps finally, voice husky from exertion, "you want me?" Her hand trails down between their bodies, idly stroking him where he lays spent against her skin. "What will you do to prove it now that I've given in?" Her gaze holds his steady, daring him to

She hums softly, eyes bright with challenge as she looks up at him. "Is that all you have to say?" Her hand continues to stroke idly between their bodies, fingers curling around his length once more. "Maybe you need a little extra incentive." Her lips part suggestively as her free hand reaches behind her neck, unbuttoning the top button of her blouse with practiced ease. With each successive one that comes undone, she feels exposed and vulnerable... but also aroused beyond belief by his reaction to her body.

"What do you think," she whispers against his cheek, "will happen if I keep going?" Her hand brushes over his thigh, nails scratching lightly as they near the hem of her skirt. "Will you prove yourself worthy?"

Her eyes flicker downward, taking in the growing bulge beneath him before meeting his gaze again with a

Her smile is predatory as she leans in closer, her warm breath fanning across his ear. "I think I have just the thing," she murmurs, hand slipping between their bodies once more to stroke him with long, firm strokes. Her other hand continues undoing buttons until finally her blouse gapes open, revealing a lacy black bra that contrasts beautifully against her pale skin. She arches her back off the bed ever so slightly, offering herself up to his gaze.

"Prove yourself," she breathes against his jaw. "And maybe I'll let you have more." Her fingers dance across his erection, teasing and taunting as they caress over every inch of him, leaving a trail of heat and need in their wake. She meets his gaze once more, eyes dark with promise and power. It takes everything he has not to come right then and there under her skill

"To prove yourself," she whispers against his lips, her body tensing as he strokes her achingly slowly, "you'll have to show me how much you really want this." Her hands guide him, moving together in perfect synchrony until they find the rhythm that has them both gasping for breath. His hips begin to buck against her hand in response, his erection pulsing hot and heavy against her palm as he nears release once more. "Do you think you can do that?" she asks softly, gaze searching his face for any sign of hesitation or doubt.

Her free hand slips between their bodies, fingertips teasing at the sensitive flesh beneath his balls before moving higher to curl around him once more, squeezing gently as if to keep him there forever. "Prove it," she breathes against his lips, nipping lightly when he moans in response. "

Her eyes glint with mischief as she looks down at him, hands sliding up his chest and curling around his neck possessively. "Anything?" She leans in close enough that their breaths mingle and dance together, her body trembling from the effort of containing herself under his touch. Her free hand moves lower still, skimming across his stomach before coming to rest atop his leg, gently squeezing. "Hmm..."

She contemplates this for a moment more before nodding slowly. "All right then," she murmurs against his ear, voice heavy with promise. "Cum for me." With that, her hand speeds up, matching his movements as if they've reached some unspoken accord, and her hips arch off the bed in time with each thrust, her climax building steadily beneath their joined hands. "And then," she whispers into his ear just before

Her nails dig into his shoulders as she climaxes with a shuddering cry, her body arching further off the bed and wrapping tightly around him in a velvet vice. His cum shoots hot and thick between their joined hands, coating them both and painting streaks of white across her chest. As he empties himself into her palm, she watches his face with a predator's focus, noting every twitch and tremble as he comes undone for her. And then, when it seems there's nothing left, she lets out a satisfied sigh and releases him slowly, licking her fingers clean before bringing them to her lips, tasting him one last time.

Her gaze meets his again, dark and smug as she leans down to whisper against his ear, "Now what will you do to prove it?"

Her lips curve into a wicked smile as she feels his words against her ear. "I think you've proven your point," she purrs, trailing kisses down his neck and collarbone before meeting his eyes once more. "Now it's my turn to show you what I want." With that, she rolls them both over until he's lying beneath her, legs spread wide on the bed as she straddles him once more. His cock juts upward, hard and needy for more of her attention. With a slow grin, she leans down and takes it into her mouth, sucking with enough force to draw out another groan from his lips.

Her free hand slides between them, fingers curling over his balls as she begins to stroke him in rhythm with her mouth. "Is this what you want?" she asks, looking up at him through hooded lids. "To pleasure me

With each groan and thrust from beneath her, she feeds off the pleasure his touch brings her. Her body trembles with need as she takes him deeper into her mouth, sucking greedily while her hand moves in perfect rhythm, stroking him skillfully. She glances up at him through hooded lashes, taking in the expression of desire etched onto his features, and feels a surge of power course through her veins. It's intoxicating... addicting even.

She leans forward until their chests are touching, breath hot against his neck as she continues to pleasure him with her mouth. Her free hand reaches up, tracing idle patterns across his chest before finally coming to rest on his shoulder, holding him in place while she controls the pace and depth of their connection. "Do you want more?" she whispers against his skin, voice husky and low. "Tell me what you

Her eyes meet his in the mirror above the bed as he nods, the movement jerky and needy. "Tell me what you want," she says again, her voice a low rumble that vibrates against his skin. "I want to hear it." Her lips slide up and down over him, teasing and taunting, while her hand continues its steady rhythm, keeping him on the edge of release.

He groans, head thrashing back and forth on the pillow as he struggles for breath. "Veronica," he pants out finally, reaching up to grip her hip as she leans further into his touch. "I want you." His gaze meets hers again, filled with a desperation that has her heart racing in double time. Her mouth curves into a knowing smile as she continues to pleasure him, taking him closer and closer to the edge of oblivion.

With one last gro

Her hands slide up his chest to cup his face, fingers curling into his hair as she looks deep into his eyes. Her breath comes out in short pants as he thrusts upward against her hand, filling her senses with the smell and taste of him. "Then have me," she whispers before leaning down and taking him into her mouth once more, sucking hard while her other hand slides between their bodies to stroke him roughly over his entrance.

Her body trembles as he edges ever closer, desire coursing through her veins in a wild current that has her moaning around him. She watches his face as the tension builds, waiting for the exact moment when she can feel him let go, spilling himself onto her tongue and across her lips. It's then that she arches her back off the bed, bringing them both to the brink together. "Come for me," she gasps against his skin

As he feels himself begin to lose control, her name on his lips and her touch sending shockwaves through him, the orgasm rips through him like a hurricane. He cries out her name even as she moans around him, swallowing every drop as it spills from him in hot waves of release. Her hands grip his shoulders tightly, holding him steady while she savors the taste and feel of him, milk flowing freely down her throat.

Finally, when he's spent himself on her tongue, she releases him with a soft pop, lips curling into a satisfied smile as she feels the last drops drip onto her chin. She looks up at him through lashes soaked with desire and relief, pleased to see the dazed expression etched onto his features. With a contented sigh, she slides off the bed, fingers trailing lazily down his stomach before cur

Tilting her head to the side, she watches him with a satisfied smile playing on her lips. "Thank you," she whispers softly, running her fingertips lightly over his stomach. "That was quite enjoyable." She glances down at where their bodies met only moments before and feels herself grow even warmer at the memory of their passionate union. With a quiet hum, she steps forward to kneel between his legs, gaze fixed on the obvious evidence of how deeply he affected her.

Her hands slide up his thighs, fingers trailing gently across his skin as she contemplates her next move. "So," she murmurs, licking her lips, "do you think we should continue?" She raises her eyebrows, a challenge gleaming in her eyes as she waits for him to respond.
