Seraphina’s POV
He filled me completely.
Caden’s finger moved inside me, stroking my most sensitive spots. The overwhelming pleasure drowned out every coherent thought. Just as I thought I couldn’t take any more, he added to it—pulling out slightly before thrusting back in, again and again.
I cried out, my voice shaky and desperate. My hand gripped his wrist as I begged in a voice I didn’t recognize, “Please… Caden, please…”
But I wasn’t even sure what I was pleading for—for him to stop or to keep going.
He looked down at me, his lips curling into a smug, knowing smile.
“You like this,” he said hoarsely, his voice dripping with raw dominance. “You like it when I touch you, when I fuck you. So why did you run? What the hell are you afraid of?”
I couldn’t answer. My mind was a blur, unable to form a single thought beyond the sensation of his relentless movements.
He leaned closer, his breath hot against my ear as he whispered, “You let me think you were staying. That you’d sign the contract. And then you vanished. Do you know how that felt? Knowing you could disappear forever?”
I whimpered, tears streaming down my cheeks, overwhelmed by his words and his actions. His voice was deep, laced with fury and hurt.
“I… I didn’t know…” I sobbed. The wet, obscene sounds from between my legs made me flush with embarrassment.
“Stop… please, Caden…”
Instead, he intensified his pace, thrusting his fingers deeper, harder. His thumb found my clit and circled it mercilessly.
“You made me furious, Seraphina. I’ve never been so fucking mad in my life!” he growled, pushing a second finger inside me.
I gasped sharply, my inner walls stretching to accommodate him. My entire body quaked under his control, rocking against his hand involuntarily.
“I thought of a thousand ways to punish you for what you did,” he snarled. “And this is just the beginning. So don’t tell me to stop.”
He added a third finger, curling them expertly. A wave of pleasure crashed over me, and I came hard. My back arched, my head fell back, and a loud, unrestrained scream tore from my throat as I gushed around his hand.
He silenced me with a searing kiss, swallowing my cries. I trembled violently, still reeling from the intensity of my orgasm.
As he pulled his fingers out, he smirked and wiped my juices on my face, his voice a low murmur.
“Fucking soaked.”
He slapped my butt lightly and commanded, “Turn around. Butt out.”
I stared at him in a daze, still processing what he’d said. When I didn’t move fast enough, he clicked his tongue impatiently and spun me around himself, pressing me against the door.
The metallic clink of his belt sent a chill down my spine.
“Wait!” I cried out, panic breaking through the haze. “Stop it! We… we can’t—”
“Why didn’t you tell me to stop before I made you cum?” he shot back, his voice cold and accusing.
I felt his hard, throbbing cock pressing between my legs, the tip nudging at my entrance.
“…This wasn’t in the contract,” I whispered, trembling.
“Don’t mention that fucking contract to me!” he roared. “You ruined that chance already, remember?”
“Then what is this?!” I cried, tears streaming down my face. “A booty call? Am I just another one of your toys?!”
“This is what you owe me!” he snarled. “You betrayed me, remember?!”
His words felt like a slap, cutting deep.
I squirmed, struggling against him. “Stop! I… I don’t want this, Caden!”
Everything froze.
He grabbed me by the throat, spinning me to face him. His grip wasn’t tight, but it sent a shiver of fear through me.
“Not with me?” he hissed, his green eyes blazing with fury. “Then who? The man you’re in love with? Who the fuck is he?”
I gasped, realizing too late that he still remembered the lie I’d told him—that I loved someone else.
“Answer me!” he demanded, his hand tightening slightly. “Is it Damon? Someone else?!”
Tears spilled over as I struggled to speak, my voice cracking. “No! There’s no one else… it was a stupid lie, I’m sorry! I just don’t want sex to make things more complicated right now…”
“Bullshit,” he spat. “You’re holding back. What’s stopping you from giving me your heart?!”
“Because!” I sobbed, the truth spilling out before I could stop it. “I’m afraid! Afraid you’ll take my heart and tear it apart. Just like Damon did. I can’t… I can’t survive another heartbreak!”
