All Chapters of Midnight Heat: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Maya’s POVThe first thing I heard when I stepped into the office is his voice. “You are late.”I looked at the clock on the wall. It said 8:55am. I was five minutes early. “I… I am sorry, sir,” I whispered. My voice shook.He was sitting behind his huge desk. He looked up from some papers. His eyes were dark. They moved over my body. I wore a simple blue dress today. It was not too short.A small smile touched his lips. “It does not matter. Close the door.”I turned and pushed the heavy door shut. It clicked. The room became very quiet. “Come here, Maya,” he said.I walked to the front of his desk. My shoes were quiet on the big rug. I stopped. I held my hands together so they would not shake.He stood up. He walked around the desk. He did not stop this time. He came right up to me. His body was so close. I could feel the heat from him. I looked down at his shiny shoes.“Look at me,” he said.I lifted my head. His eyes looked into mine. They were serious. A little hungry. My stomach

Maya’s POVThe next day felt heavy inside my stomach like I was carrying small butterflies that kept flying around nervously. I spent the afternoon getting ready, opening the box Chloe sent to me slowly like it was a treasure. Inside was the mask.Black lace with silver sparkles along the edges. It covered half my face but left my lips and eyes free. I liked how mysterious it looked.My dress was dark green silk, soft against my skin, moving like water when I walked. Under it, hidden where nobody could see, I wore a small strip of red fabric that made me feel bold and a little secret at the same time.Chloe was waiting outside the huge Vandermere house when I arrived. Bright lights shined from every window and loud music was coming from inside like waves hitting the walls.“You look stunning!” she shouted happily, wearing a gold mask and pink dress. She grabbed my hand and pulled me inside quickly.The party felt wild. People with different masks moved everywhere like colorful birds.

Maya’s POVLiam’s words would not leave my head. I opened my eyes in my dark room. Sunlight came through the small window. My green dress from last night lay on the floor like a guilty secret. My body still felt warm and sticky between my legs.I sat up fast. “What have I done?” I whispered to myself.My phone lay on the pillow. I picked it up with shaking hands. The blackmail messages were still there. The picture of me grinding on Liam’s lap looked so clear, my dress was high. My face showed pure pleasure.This cannot be real. Someone watched me the whole time at the party. Now they know about Mr Havisham too. What if they tell Chloe? What if they tell everyone?I dropped the phone and covered my face. My heart beat very fast. I felt scared but also a little excited when I remembered how Liam felt under me.Stop it Maya, you are in big trouble now.I stood up and walked to the bathroom. The cold floor touched my bare feet. I looked in the mirror. My dark curly hair was messy, my war

Maya’s POVOne man held my arm tight while the second person stood right behind me. I could hear him breathing. My heart beat so loud it hurt my ears. What do they want now? I already gave them what they asked for.The first man spoke close to my ear. “Good girl for coming. Now stay quiet and listen.”The second man touched my back. His hand moved down slowly. “We know you are scared but fear makes you wet, does it not?” He laughed softly. I felt ashamed because he was right. Even with all the terror, my body reacted again.They did not take long. They bent me over an old table and took turns with me. One fucked me hard from behind while the other held my mouth to keep me quiet. Their thrusts were rough and fast. I moaned against the hand even though tears ran down my cheeks. The mix of fear and pleasure made my head spin. When they both finished inside me, they left me there breathing hard.“Read the papers we gave you,” the first man said as they walked away into the shadows. “Tomor
