"Do you regret your decision, Isabella?" he asked, his voice softer now, almost vulnerable in its question.
I looked at him, really looked at him, and for the first time, I saw the cracks beneath his perfect exterior. I saw the loneliness that lingered in the depths of his eyes, the fear that perhaps, like me, he was also wondering whether he had lost something in the pursuit of all this power, all this control.
"No," I said quietly. "I don't regret it."

A flash of something passed. It was so quick she barely registered it.
"Ever cummed?" She moved closer, leaning over his desk.
"Wanting to keep pounding and pounding into a tight wet cunt?" Her toes were now off the floor, her knees touching the edge of his desk and her body hovering over it.
His face blank but it was those forest green eyes that gave Valora the glimpse of the animal purring inside him. She was about to say something when his mouth opened.
"Wouldn't you like to know?"
