The Ghost Of One Night

last update publish date: 2026-05-19 18:11:01

ELIAN

I looked like I was attacked by a rabid animal, the litter of hickeys and bruises on my skin looking red and angry.

By the time I had woken up this morning, the stranger was gone, disappeared into thin air like he never existed in the first place.

I let out a sigh that sounded more disappointed than relieved. Maybe it was because it was my first time with a man or because I had never felt so grounded before in my life.

It didn’t help that the man hadn’t bother to drop a message or anything to acknowledge our time together.

Maybe I was just too old to know how hookups happen normally. My alarm rang out then, pulling me out of the rabbit hole of overthinking.

I pulled myself together, willing the memory of last night to the back of my mind.

Time to return back to my normal routine.

---

Three months later…

I crack my neck, looking at my schedule for the day. My last patient had been…emotional.

I had to sit and witness a woman bawl out her eyes after she divorced her terminally ill husband for another man, few days after her ex-husband died.

I felt uncomfortable as I watched her cry for the entirety of her session, wondering why she had come in the first place.

It didn’t help that I had that familiar itch underneath my skin once again. Images of that one night came flashing through my head.

I shook it away but my cock was already stiff in my pants. With a sigh, I stood up from where I sat, walking into the bathroom in my office.

I couldn’t meet with my next patient like this. With trembling hands, I pull out my cock once I got to the bathroom.

I pump my length, my teeth biting into my lips as I imagined rough hands gripping at my waist.

I groan out my release as I painted my hand white with cum. The ghost of the stranger had been haunting me ever since that day making me unable to move close to anyone else.

I freshened up, walking back to my seat when a knock on my door drew my attention. A frown marred my face; I wasn’t meant to have another appointment until…

I had somehow forgotten the patient the Director had spoken to me about that had issues with OCD.

Just then the door to my office was pushed open. The man who entered looked so tall and huge, I swallowed subtly as I gestured for him to have his seat as I did the same.

Something about the way he looked at me set me on edge. “I guess you already have my file,”

I picked up his file with a tremble that I tried to hid. His voice had me feeling shaky for some reason, making me frustrated and anxious.

His name is Aiden Knight, 27 years old, suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder.

“I have been battling with obsession lately” He added, spreading against the sofa.

“What kind of obsession?” I asked calmly, my tone a far cry from how I feel inwardly as he leveled his blue-green eyes at me.

“I can’t stop myself from stalking someone”

“Watching everything about him. Wanting to know all his secrets” My breath seemed to have frozen in my lungs at the intensity of his voice as he described his problem.

“And who is this person?” I asked, clearing my throat as I adjusted my glasses.

Aiden tilted his head slightly to the side, his eyes lighting up with a frightening intensity before he replied me.

“You”

I froze at what he said, hoping I had heard wrong.

“What?” I asked, my voice faint with disbelief at his answer.

“I saw you once at a café, you ordered an Americano. Two packets of sugar. From that day on, I started following you. I know you wake up at 6:30 every morning. You like whole-grain toast with fried eggs. I know your ex-girlfriend’s name is Leah. You broke up three months ago because she cheated.”

My hands trembled at the calm way with which he spoke, my brain whirling with panic and fear.

“You need treatment…”

“I know” He interrupted before I could complete my statement, a smile splitting his lips.

“That’s why I am here. So, Doctor…how are you going to treat me?”

I pressed the emergency number on my phone with trembling fingers, my heart beat pounding with each ring.

“Hello, this is 911. How can we help you?”

---

“What were you thinking?!” Dr. George, the lead Psychologist, hissed at me as the police officers walked out of my office, throwing me worried looks.

I swallowed, my hands trembling badly. “I am sorry” I let out weakly, his response getting lost as everything sounded under water.

He walked away with angry steps, leaving me a mess at the entrance to my office. I walked back in, closing the door only to find out Aiden was still there.

“You should have known better than to call the police” He lets out calmly, as if he were talking about the weather.

I know I should respond to him but I couldn’t, my mind peaceful blank until my lips were coaxed into a rough kiss.

I gasped into the kiss, my breath coming out choppily as he broke the kiss.

“Hmm, interesting” Aiden mumbled out, his eyes fixed on my lips before he took a step backward.

“Y-you shouldn’t have done that, it goes against…”

“Here is what would happen, pretty boy. You would come with me, I need to see what you look like when I decorate your body with my cum”

I jolt back at his crude statement, hating the way my cock twitched at it.

“I am not going anywhere with you, please leave my office” I said calmly, stepping away from the door.

“Oh, you are. Unless you want everyone to find out you like taking cock like a bitch in heat” He whispered into my ear, his tongue licking at the lobe.

“What do you mean by that?” I asked, fear evident in my tone.

“I know about that night at the Hilltop hotel and I have a video of you, pretty boy”

    ELIAN“I still think you’re avoiding my question.”Aiden glanced at me across the center console, one hand resting loosely on the steering wheel while the city lights slid across his face in streaks of gold and white.“I answered your question.”“No,” I replied, settling farther into the leather seat. “You gave me the sort of answer politicians give when they don’t actually want to answer anything.”A faint smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.“Is that your professional opinion, Doctor?”“It is.”“And here I thought today was your day off.”“It is my day off.”“Then stop analyzing me.”“I wouldn’t have to if you’d simply answer me.”“I did.”“You absolutely did not.”He laughed under his breath, the sound low enough that I almost missed it.“You enjoy arguing with me.”“I enjoy winning.”“You’ve never won.”“I have.”“When?”I folded my arms.“You’ve forgotten already.”“I don’t forget victories.”“That’s because there haven’t been many.”He shook his head slowly.“I’ve created a

  • The Devil In Therapy   Sound Older

    EMILEThe line went silent.Not because the call had dropped.Because neither of us had anything we wished to say first.Father had always possessed that ability. He could weaponize silence until the other person felt compelled to fill it. I had inherited the habit from him, although he would never admit it.I swirled the whiskey in my glass before setting it aside untouched.“You don’t usually call this late and I’m sure you’re not calling because of Brooklyn what ever happened there is dead and buried as you know.. so let his therapy go according to plan,” I said.“I don’t.”“Then I assume this isn’t about business or Brooklyn.”“It isn’t.”His voice remained even, almost detached, but I knew him well enough to recognize the warning hidden beneath that calm.“When I asked about Aiden’s therapy this afternoon, I wasn’t making conversation.”“I gathered as much.”“You lied to me.”“Hmm loe is a strong word I may have omitted a few details.”“There is a difference only lawyers apprecia

    EMILEI did not enjoy being proven wrong.Unfortunately, life had developed an unpleasant habit of doing exactly that whenever my younger brother was involved.The drive back from the restaurant passed in silence. Candice had offered to continue the conversation another time, and for once I had not argued. There had been too much left unsaid between us, but none of it demanded an answer tonight especially as we both knew what it meant.The message on my phone did.Someone else has started watching the doctor.The words had refused to leave my mind. By the time my driver pulled into the estate, I was already reaching for my phone.“Good evening, sir.”Victor my little eyes and ears answered on the second ring.“I need every surveillance report from the last forty-eight hours.”“Regarding Dr. Moore?”“Yes.”“I’ll send them immediately.”“And Victor.”“Sir?”“I don’t want summaries.”“I want everything.”“Understood.”The call ended.I stepped out of the car and climbed the wide stairca

  • The Devil In Therapy   Old Company

    EMILEThere were very few people capable of making me regret sending an invitation before they had even arrived.Candice Jones happened to be one of them.I stood on the balcony of the restaurant overlooking the glittering Manhattan skyline, one hand wrapped around a glass of whiskey that had long since lost its chill. The meeting with Father had ended almost thirty minutes ago, yet his questions still lingered in my head.“How is Aiden’s therapy going?”He had asked it too casually.. Far too casually.Father never asked questions he already didn’t know the answer to.A soft pair of heels clicked against the polished stone behind me.“They still serve whiskey before saying hello?”Her voice carried the same confidence I remembered and I turned.Candice smiled politely, though it didn’t quite reach her eyes.“It has been a while, Emile.”“It has.”She studied me for a second before extending her hand.“Should we pretend we’re meeting for the first time?”I looked at her hand for a bri

    AidenI knew he noticed the pickup truck but I honestly couldn’t care less..The maître d’ greeted us with the kind of smile reserved for people who looked like they belonged.I didn’t.Not in places like this.The restaurant glowed beneath soft amber lights that reflected off crystal glasses and polished marble floors. Every table was dressed in white linen, candles flickering gently between expensive floral arrangements, while a pianist in the corner coaxed slow jazz from a grand piano. The room smelled of butter, rosemary, and expensive wine.Elian, however, looked perfectly at home.He slipped his hands into the pockets of his coat as we followed the hostess deeper into the dining room, his attention wandering over the artwork on the walls rather than the people staring discreetly in our direction.“I think they expect me to know which fork is for what,” he whispered.I laughed under my breath.“They expect me to pay.”His grin widened. “So you’re saying I should order the lobster

    ELIANI should have known something was wrong the moment Aiden refused to tell me where we were going.People with good intentions usually answered simple questions but Aiden only smiled. “You’ll see.”“I honestly now hate that sentence.”“I know.”“It usually ends with me regretting something.”His grin widened as he unlocked the passenger door of his car. “Get in.”I folded my arms. “You really enjoy ordering people around, don’t you?.”“No.” He waited until I looked at him. “I enjoy ordering you around.”I sighed dramatically before climbing into the car. “One day,” I muttered as I buckled my seat belt, “you’re going to meet someone who refuses to entertain your nonsense.”“I already did.” He shut the door before walking around to the driver’s side. “You.”I pretended to look out of the window so he wouldn’t see the smile threatening to appear but it didn’t work as nothing ever escaped him.“You smiled.”“I absolutely did not.”“I saw it.”“Yea well.. You imagined it.”“I have exce
