I should not have let this happen. I knew better. I knew Lucas Vale had a reputation that his charm could be bad for me. Yet I was sitting in his private office long after everyone else had left. My heart was beating fast like it had a life of its own.
He leaned back in his chair. The dim light from the desk lamp cast shadows across his face. His gray eyes, the ones that always seemed to see everything were fixed on me. I tried to focus on the papers in front of me. I could not. The stack of contracts and invoices did not matter more than the heat rising in my chest.
"You are tense " he said quietly casually but there was an edge to his voice. A promise, maybe.
I swallowed. My throat was suddenly dry. "I am fine, " I said, though my voice sounded small.
He did not move closer at first. The air shifted. It was heavy and electric. One hand rested lightly on the edge of the desk. I felt it even from a distance. The silent authority in his posture made me feel both trapped and safe. "You are lying " he said, leaning back in his chair. That smirk was tugging at the corners of his mouth. "You always do.. I like it when you try to hide it."
Heat pooled in my chest spreading faster than I could control. I looked down at my hands. My fingers were tightening around a pen as though it were a lifeline. I wanted to step to tell myself this was wrong but something in the way Lucas Vale looked at me stopped me. Something dark, commanding and irresistible.
"Lucas Vale..." My voice barely made it past a whisper.
"You are trembling, " he said, leaning forward suddenly. His hand brushed against mine not enough to touch but close enough to make my pulse skip. "Is it me. ?" His voice trailed, teasing, almost tender.
I shook my head, biting my lip. I could not deny it. My thoughts were not clear. My body was reacting faster than my mind could process. Every nerve ending seemed alive, aware of Lucas Vale in a way that terrified me.
Then unexpectedly the door clicked open. My stomach jumped, not from fear. From the sudden awareness that someone else had entered. Elena, Lucas Vale's wife, was standing in the doorway.
She did not hesitate. She smiled, slow and knowing and closed the door behind her. The smile sent a shock through me. My heart was racing, pounding in my ears.
"Mira, " Elena said softly, walking toward us. There was no judgment in her tone, warmth and desire. It made me feel unsteady, almost unbalanced. "I did not think I would find you here."
I could not speak. My mouth had gone dry. My thoughts were scrambling. The tension in the room doubled, tripled. I realized with a panic that this was not what I had expected. I had anticipated Lucas Vale maybe a quiet conversation, but not this. Not Elena, not this electricity building between the three of us.
Lucas Vale's smirk did not falter. "I invited her, " he said casually. There was a spark in his eyes that told me this was not casual. His hand brushed mine again this time as though claiming some silent permission.
Elena came closer. Her perfume, soft and intoxicating, hit me in waves. I felt trapped between two forces I could not resist. She smiled again, touching my arm lightly. The sensation made my knees weak. "I wanted to see you, " she said, her voice. Intimate. "See if you understand."
I swallowed hard. Understand what? I wanted to protest to move to tell myself I could not be part of this but every instinct in my body screamed against it. My heartbeat, wild and loud matched the tremor in my hands. I felt every inch of the room, the lines of Lucas Vale's office, the soft hum of the lights, the warmth radiating from him and Elena both. It was dizzying, dangerous.. Yet I could not look away.
Lucas Vale leaned back slightly watching us both with that knowing look. Then he spoke, his voice low, magnetic. "Do you trust me?"
I froze. The question was not about work. It was about everything. The control he wielded the pull he had on me, the chaos he could bring. I hesitated, caught in the tension between fear and desire.
"Yes " I whispered finally though I was not entirely sure if I meant it yet. My eyes flicked between them. Something shifted. Elena's smile widened. She moved closer resting a hand on my shoulder. I shivered. The touch was electric, gentle but powerful. My pulse was racing faster than ever.
Lucas Vale leaned forward. Suddenly the space between us was smaller and tighter, charged with unspoken promises. His hand touched mine this time and I could not stop the gasp that escaped me. It was not loud. It carried all the trembling raw intensity of every moment leading to this point.
Elena's voice, soft but commanding, reached me then. "You do not have to be afraid, " she said, her fingers brushing against mine over Lucas Vale's hand. The contact sent a wave through me. I felt a strange warmth pooling in my chest. It was not just physical, it was emotional, intimate, a connection that terrified me much as it thrilled me.
I closed my eyes for a moment trying to steady my racing thoughts. This was wrong. So wrong.. Yet it felt right. Almost inevitable. The desire, the trust, the fear and the pleasure all mixed together heavy and suffocating.
Lucas Vale's lips curved in a smirk. "See? Nothing to fear " he murmured, leaning close that I could feel the heat of him. His presence filled the room, commanding and protective. Elena pressed closer, reinforcing it, anchoring me between them both.
I realized, suddenly, that this was not just about them or me or even desire. It was about something. Connection, power, trust.. Something I had never expected control slipping from my hands as it settled around us in a way that made my heart ache and my mind spin.
I opened my eyes looking at them both. For the time I did not want to escape. I wanted to surrender.
Then Elena came closer. She took off my clothes one by one. I was just standing there naked before them both. Lucas Vale's lips curved in a smirk.
He walked towards me. Placed his hands on my back. I looked up. Saw Elena walking towards me. She. Went on her knees facing me. "Do not be frightened " Lucas Vale said, as he held my shoulder and pushed me down on the office chair.
Elena used her hands to spread my thighs. She used her finger to trail my body. Lucas Vale was standing at my back placing his hands on my breast pressing it.
Elena placed her hands on my clit. I shivered with excitement. I could not explain it.
She began licking me. She inserted her two fingers inside me. I screamed out. Lucas Vale covered my mouth with his hands. He also inserted his finger inside of me. Elena's finger was still inside moving it in and out. I moaned out loud. I felt something, a liquid rushed out of me.
