I glared down at him with a stern, warning look. "Behave, Yuvi. One more unapproved move and I will leave this room, leaving you tied up exactly like this until morning."

"Please, Ira... damn it, please just take me," he begged, his voice broken, sweat glistening on his forehead as his bound wrists strained against the headboard.

I leaned down close, my lips brushing his ear as I gave him my ultimate condition. "Then earn it. Say 'Please, Mommy, take me inside you.' Say it like you're completely crazy for me."

He didn't hesitate for even a fraction of a second. The raw desperation had entirely stripped away his pride.

"Please, Mommy... please take me inside you," he choked out, his eyes wild and completely consumed by me. "I'm losing my fucking mind, Ira, please."

I violently wrenched myself away from her touch, stumbling back a step. I looked at her with a bitter, disgusted sneer, wiping my face with the back of my hand as if her warmth had poisoned me.

"Look at you, playing the tragic savior. You expect me to fall for this comforting act again?" I sneered, the words cutting through the narrow alcove. "You want me to believe that the girl who traded my soul for a billionaire's lifestyle actually gives a damn about my pain?"

She shook her head frantically, reaching her hand out into the empty space between us, her eyes begging me to stop. "It's not like that, I swear Yu-"

"Save your breath," I spat, cutting her off ruthlessly as I backed further into the shadows. "Every touch, every tear, every single word that comes out of your mouth is nothing but a calculated lie to ease your own guilt."

I leveled her with a final, devastating look. "You aren't here to console me, Ira. You're just terrified that your perfect, wealthy fiancé will find out what a cheap, deceitful fraud you really are."
