SINThe moment hangs between us, charged with an intensity that makes the air feel thicker. Her eyes, usually so full of defiance, now search mine for something I'm not quite sure I've ever allowed anyone to see before —vulnerability. It's a look that unnerves me, not because I'm afraid of being seen, but because of what it demands of me in return — Trust.Trust is something I've rarely dealt with, yet here I am, asking for it as if I've earned it. "Why should I trust you? Why should I believe you right now?" "I don't expect you to just believe me," I say, shifting slightly to face her more directly. "But my actions so far have proven that all I want to do is protect you."Her gaze drifts away from mine, out the window, as the cars drive by. For the first time, I wonder what she's thinking, what she's feeling. The urge to reach out to her and hold her is overwhelming but I resist. This moment requires more than physical reassurance."Why now?" She asks, her voice is soft. "Why are
SIN My hand moves slowly tracing the curve of her back until it finds the small metal tab of her zipper. My fingers brush against her skin lightly as they grasp the zipper, a touch that sends a shiver down her spine. As I begin to pull the zipper down, I feel her body relaxing with each click but her breath soon catches in her throat as the fabric parts, revealing her bare back to me, as the cool air of the room caresses her exposed skin. I let go of her hand slowly and she keeps them in place, a sign that she wants this just as much as I do. I lean forward planting light kisses down to the small of her back. I stop down the zipper line and lean backward kneeling behind her. I grab her by the stomach lifting her behind in the air, I don't miss the gasps that escape her lips. Securing her in place, I loosen my belt quickly, my thick length springs out of my pants before sliding her dress down her hips, revealing her lacy red thong beneath. I bite my bottom lips staring at the sigh
MAEI know I shouldn't be asking this but I can't help but wonder if truly this isn't just about the punishment, I open my lips to speak but he places his finger on my lips to hush me. Without saying a word, he gets out of bed and gently lifts me, then carries me into the bathroom. He places me in the bathtub carefully before placing me in the tub. He helps me out of my undies and tosses it to the side before turning the water on in the tub. I look up at him confused by his action but he doesn't say a word, he just plants a soft kiss on my forehead before getting on his feet. He walks over to the shower and my gaze follows him as he begins to pull his shirt over his head, the motion is fluid, almost effortless.The shirt slips away revealing his body. My eyes trace the contours of his chest, down to his abs, and then to his arms. Then, my eyes catch something unexpected. On his arm, there's a tattoo. It's not just any tattoo, it's intricate, with lines that swirl and twist, forming
MAEI look up at him, and I can see the seriousness in his eyes, "What is it, Sin?" I ask, my voice barely above a whisper."It's about your s..." He trails off as the sound of my phone ringing in the room interrupts him. The ringtone fills the room, and I recognize it as the one for Lily's call. I planned to call her earlier in the day but my aunt's call made it slip my mind. I glance at Sin, a silent question in my eyes, "I will get it," he replies standing from the tub. "I can -""Stay here," he orders walking out of the bathroom as I stare at his toned behind. I shake my head as the thought of him kissing me comes to my head and I try to focus on the situation at hand. After a few seconds, he returns to the bathroom, he has a towel tied around his waist and his expression is unreadable."It's Lily," he says, handing me the phone."Thank you," I say and take the phone picking up the call immediately "Hey, Lily," I say, trying to sound normal. Sin walks up to the mirror and touch
MAE"I understand the situation, but this is delicate. We can't just... Yes, I know the stakes," he continues, his voice now a mix of frustration and worry.The mention of informing me about something catches my full attention. My heart starts pounding harder, and questions swirling in my mind. What is it that he feels the need to tell me, and who is on the other end of that call pushing for a different approach?He sighs, "Fine, just make sure everything is set for when we get there. Mae shouldn't have to worry about anything else right now," he adds, his tone softening slightly, hinting at a concern for my well-being that feels both comforting and alarming.As he wraps up the call, "We'll discuss this later."I quickly step back, making a bit of noise to seem like I just arrived. I don't want him to know I've been eavesdropping, afraid it might upset him since the call sounded personal, but my heart is racing, filled with both dread and an aching need to know what's being hidden fro
MAE"I need to find out more before I can bring it to your attention, Mae," he explains. "Believe me it's better this way."My mind races as I process what he is saying, who could be trying to harm Lily? If anyone should be getting hurt it should be me and not her, she has been through so much over the past few months.The traffic light turns green, and the car accelerates, "Is that all you are not telling me?" I ask staring at him."For now, yes," he says."You said I should trust you but now I wonder if it is you who needs to trust me by telling me what is going on.""Take care of Lily, I will handle the rest and when the time is right we will discuss this."I kiss my teeth and look out the window realizing that he is not going to tell me what I need to know maybe he already has but I can't just accept that someone would want to harm Lily. Who could it be and why? What will they gain by hurting her? As we approach the hospital, he pulls the car into the hospital parking lot and tu
SIN"I can't believe you followed her to the hospital," Ethan chuckles, his voice laced with disbelief as I step into his office and sit down opposite him. I wouldn't be here if he had just kept his mouth shut and allowed me to handle the situation my way."So are you guys like an item now?" He asks, leaning back on his chair with a playful smirk on his face. "Or is this like a plot to revenge for what she did to you?" He adds."You said over the phone that you found out something," I say leaning back on my seat and avoiding his questions. My relationship with Mae isn't something I am ready to share with him, even though I can sense he knows what is going on. "Avoiding questions now huh? Well, first you left me at the meeting some hours back. Dad hasn't yet agreed to sign over the company to me, I think I deserve an explanation. Don't you think?" He raises an eyebrow at me. I sigh remembering I badge out of that darn meeting at the sight of Mae on my phone leaving the house, I didn'
SIN"I can't believe this," I growl.Ethan leans back in his chair, his expression unreadable. "I know how it looks but I think he deserves the chance to explain himself."I scoff, unable to believe a word he's saying. "Explain?" "For all we know Lily might have been in the wrong here," Ethan insists. "She clearly hates us for a reason.""And you think this is the reason?" I snort. "I don't believe that Dad has always been the one trying to destroy our family. He's a monster and this only now proves it.""He's our father," Ethan says, "We have to give him a chance to explain.""Explain what? He is only going to change the story and make himself the victim," I say slamming the file on the table. I stand up on my feet running my fingers through my hair, how could he do such a thing, and why? For goodness sake she is underaged. Even if she was of age, she is old enough to be his daughter. "Sin you need to calm down," Ethan pleads."He's a predator, Ethan. He needs to be stopped before
