That was the fast thing I registered when I opened my eyes. A deep, bruising ache in my hips, my thighs, my Immer bark, my au body had been wrung out and left to dry, li was already late in the morning. The sunlight was bleeding through the blinds, rasti

cross Alessandro’s minipled bed

The sheets beneath me were twisted, the ait smelled like sweat and sex, and my skin… I felt marked. Youched everywhere. Stretched and used in ways wasn’t sure I could handle again.

For a second, I couldn’t move. My muscles protested even the thought of shifting, and the sireness between my legs was reminder of everything that had happened the wight before

Everything.

I groaned, rolling slightly onto my side, instantly regretting it as the pain intensified. My body was wicked, sed, stretched, sore. And not ant physically. There was something now inside me, like a part of myself had been tracked open,

Behind me, Alessandro stirred. I felt his arms tighten around my waist before he blinked sleepily awake

“You okay?” he murmured, his voice gravelly with sleep.

“Do I look okay?” I rasped out, not hiding the edge in my tone. “I feel like I got hit by a truck.”

He chuckled softly, brushing a hand down my side. “You didn’t complain last night.”

I turned my head to glare at him, even though I couldn’t muster much fire. “That’s because I was too busy trying to survive

He didn’t apologize. He didn’t flinch. He just looked at me like I was something precious and dangerous at the same time.

“I warned you,” he said. “You were the one who begged for it.”

I rolled my eyes and looked away, pulling the sheets up to cover myself, suddenly too aware of the soreness, the stickiness, and the bruises I could already feel forming,

There was silence between us for a moment, heavy and real.

“Do you regret it?” he asked, not quite gently. Like he already knew the answer and just wanted me to say it aloud.

I didn’t answer. Not immediately. I was too aware of how wrecked my body felt and how wrecked my heart already was.

Alessandro pushed himself upright, the mattress shifting beneath us as he sat on the edge of the bed. He didn’t look at me right away. Just stared at the floor, taking a hand through his hair.

Then he reached over to the nightstand, grabbed a sleek folder, and tossed it onto the bed beside me.

“What’s that?” I asked warily, pulling the sheet tighter around myself.

“A contract,” he said. Still no emotion, Just that clipped, businesslike tone. “For you.”

│I stared at the folder like it might bite. “You’re serious?” I asked.

“I don’t fuck around, Nikolai. You should know that by now.”

“I realised that you totally do nothing at home and yet you could something wonderful for me. He spoke as he stood and walked toward the window, his naked back golden in the sunlight, muscles flexing as he reached for the blinds. “I did some research. I didn’t open the contract to read through it and 1 didn’t bother replying to him. I was still confused about what he was going to say next.

“You’re talented. Unpolished, raw, reckless with that fit body. You have potential to work for me“,
