Chapter 61: At the club

Briggs’ POVThe words are still hanging between us when the music slams back in.She looks at me like she wants to argue, like she should. But she doesn’t.And the second she goes quiet, I made the decision for both of us. My hand closes around her wrist firmly, but not rough. But there’s no space for hesitation in it.“Come on.”“Briggs—”“Now.”I don’t raise my voice, I don’t need to. I turn and move, and she follows. Not willingly, but she doesn’t pull away either. That tells me everything I need to know.The club swallows us as we push through it, lights flashing, bodies pressing in, noise swallowing words that don’t matter anymore.Her fingers flex once in my grip, testing. I tighten just enough for her to feel it. A warning not to fight me. To stop pretending.By the time we hit the exit, the air changes, colder. She yanks her hand free the second we step outside.“What is wrong with you?” she snaps.I didn't answer, so I opened the passenger door.“Get in.”She laughs, not qu

Chapter 62: You’re so wet baby

Lumi POVThe words are still hanging in the car when I realize I’ve said them out loud.I don’t know what made me say it. Maybe the way Briggs looked at me when I challenged him, like he could already see every weak spot I had and every one I was trying to hide. Maybe the way his voice dropped when he said good girls get punished, like he wasn’t threatening me so much as promising something I’d been too stubborn to ask for.Maybe I just wanted to see what he would do.The car felt smaller instantly, the leather seats creaking under my shifting weight as Briggs kept one hand on the wheel and stared straight ahead. Streetlights dragged gold across his sharp jawline, highlighting the faint scar that ran along his collarbone, the one he never talked about, the one that made him look like a man who'd survived worse things than me.My heart hammered against my ribs. I hadn't meant to say it. Or maybe I had. "Careful, Lumi," he says at last, voice low and rough, like gravel dragged over vel

Chapter 63: Briggs, can you stop torturing me already?

LumiThe elevator ride up was pure torture. Briggs didn’t say a word, but his hand stayed pressed to the small of my back like an anchor, fingers splayed wide enough to claim every inch of skin through my dress. My legs were still trembling from the car, from the way his fingers had curled inside me while the city lights streaked past the windows. I could still taste the almost-kiss on my lips, still feel the ghost of his breath when he’d stopped just short of ruining me completely.The doors slid open directly into his penthouse. Floor-to-ceiling glass looked out over a glittering Manhattan that felt a million miles away. Briggs didn’t give me time to breathe.One second I was stepping out of the elevator on shaky heels, the next his hands were on me. He moved like a man who’d been holding back for too long. His palms gripped my waist, lifting me clean off the floor as if I weighed nothing. My back hit the nearest wall with a dull thud that knocked the air from my lungs. The impac

Chapter 64: Echoes in the dark

Briggs POVHours had passed since we’d collapsed onto the bed, bodies slick and spent, the kind of exhaustion that comes only after you’ve poured everything into someone and they’ve taken it without asking for mercy. The penthouse was quiet now, Lumi lay curled against my side, her head tucked under my chin, one leg thrown over mine like she’d claimed the territory even in sleep. Her breathing was deep and even, the soft rise and fall of her chest brushing my skin with every inhale. The sheets were a tangled mess around us, carrying the sharp, intimate scent of sweat and the faint trace of her perfume that always lingered like a challenge.I didn’t sleep, couldn’t. My mind kept replaying the way she’d looked up at me on that desk—eyes wide, lips parted, body yielding completely while I drove into her like the world was ending. The way her walls had clenched around me, pulling me deeper, demanding more even as I gave her everything I had. It had been raw, punishing, the kind of fuck

Chapter 65: Body aches in a sweet way

Lumi POVMy eyes cracked open to sunlight slicing through the penthouse windows like it had a personal grudge. The ache hit me first—deep, delicious, everywhere. Every muscle protested in the best way, like my body was reminding me I’d been thoroughly fucked, owned, and left marked inside and out.My nipples were still hypersensitive, brushing against the tangled sheet and sending little sparks straight to my clit. Fuck, even my shoulders carried the faint imprint of his grip, the kind of bruises that would make smile in the mirror like dirty little trophies. I stretched experimentally and winced, a low groan slipping out. I pushed up on one elbow, hair a wild mess tumbling over my face, and realized I was completely naked. The sheet had slipped to my waist, exposing my breasts, the faint red lines from his fingers still visible across my ribs. I looked rough. Cheeks flushed, lips swollen from his kisses and the way he’d bitten them when I came undone, eyes heavy with the kind of e

Chapter 66: Steams and gossip

I glanced at it, then swam towards it and saw an unknown number flashing on the screen, and decided whatever it was could wait. The hot water of the public bath had finally started to loosen the deep ache on my body. I wasn’t about to let a random call pull me out of this fragile peace. Not now.The spa had thinned out. Dara had stepped away to take a business call, leaving just the three of us girls submerged in the mineral pool—me, Brianna, and the quiet tension that had followed us from the penthouse. Steam curled around our shoulders like secrets we weren’t ready to share. Brianna lounged against the tiled edge, her dark hair slicked back, looking every bit the untouchable Hall twin. Her eyes kept drifting to me with that calculating glint, like she was still processing whatever fight she and Briggs had after I’d passed out. I didn’t ask, not here. The water was too soothing, and my muscles too grateful for the break.Then Dara returned, sliding back into the water with the easy

Chapter 67: Okay what’s wrong with chubby girls ?

Lumi POVThe elevator doors slid open to the penthouse, and the familiar scent of leather and Briggs’s cologne hit me like a safety net I hadn’t realized I needed. Brianna stepped out first, her keys jingling as she tossed them onto the marble counter without a word. She gave me one last glance—half apologetic, half still curious—and disappeared down the hall toward her wing. I stood there in my leggings and oversized sweater, the fabric still carrying the faint mineral smell from the spa, my thighs aching with every shift of weight. The soreness between my legs reminded me of Briggs’s hands, but the spa had left something else behind, something thinner and sharper that settled in my chest like a splinter.I barely had time to drop my bag before I felt him. Briggs emerged from the shadows of the living room, barefoot and shirtless, his dark hair still damp from a shower. His eyes locked on me instantly, scanning like he could read every shift in my posture. “You’re back early,” he

Chapter 68: Invitations and cuts

Lumi POVI woke up slowly, the penthouse quiet except for the faint sound of the city below and the soft rustle of Briggs moving around the room. The sheets still held his warmth, and my skin carried the faint ache of his touch from the night before, a reminder of how he’d pulled me close and made the world outside feel smaller. For a moment I let myself linger there, eyes half-closed, pretending the calls and the messages hadn’t started again. But they had, Wren never stayed quiet for long.Briggs sat in the armchair by the window, already dressed, his phone in one hand and a mug of coffee in the other. The morning light hit the open collar of his shirt and the sharp line of his jaw. He looked like he’d been awake for a while, probably watching the screen for the next thing to hit us. When he noticed I was up, he set the mug down and crossed the room, stopping at the edge of the bed. His hand found my shoulder without hesitation, thumb brushing over my bare skin in that steady way

Chapter 69: Lies in the sand

Briggs POVI was halfway through signing off on a contract when my phone lit up again. Mom’s name. Third time this morning. I let it ring out the first two, but the third one came with a text that said “Please, Briggs. It’s important.” That word—important—always meant someone wanted something from me, and lately that someone was circling Lumi like she was fair game.I rubbed the back of my neck and stared at the penthouse window, the city spread out below like it didn’t give a damn about any of this. Lumi was still asleep in our bed, the sheets tangled around her legs the way I’d left them after last night. She looked peaceful for once. I wasn’t about to wake her for this mess.Brianna showed up at the door ten minutes later, already dressed like she was heading to a board meeting instead of a family ambush. She raised an eyebrow when she saw me grabbing my keys. “Going somewhere without telling me?”“Mom’s blowing up my phone. Said it’s important.”Brianna smirked, the kind that m

Chapter 70: Late starts and awkward stops

Lumi POVI woke up alone, the sheets, sunlight was already illuminating across the room in thick stripes, which meant I’d slept far later than I meant to. My phone showed a string of missed calls and one new text from Wren confirming our meeting later that afternoon. I sighed and sat up, rubbing my eyes. The house felt too quiet without Briggs’s steady presence somewhere nearby.The sound of the front door opening pulled me out of bed. I grabbed one of his shirts from the chair and slipped it on before padding out to the living room. Briggs was just stepping inside with Brianna right behind him. Both of them looked like they’d walked through a storm. Briggs’s jaw was tight, his shoulders set in that rigid way he got when something had gone wrong but he didn’t want to say it out loud. Brianna’s mouth was pulled into a thin line, her eyes sharp with whatever she’d just witnessed.“Morning,” I said, trying to sound casual even though my stomach tightened at the sight of him. “You two lo
