Monday to Moan-Day | 18+
A steamy escape for your PMS nights. Content Warning: This story contains sexual scenes, themes of infidelity, sexual dominance, and objectification. Intended for adult readers. -------- Mariana, the eldest of four orphaned siblings, has just received the call she's been praying for-her youngest brother has found a heart donor. But the miracle comes with a cruel price: a surgery bill far beyond what a high school graduate, stuck cleaning supermarket floors, could ever afford. With no time, no degree, and nothing but debt and desperation, she's left with one option: accept a proposition that comes cloaked in wealth, secrecy, and unspoken rules. Niel Hunter, heir to a global empire, once chased danger for sport-skydiving from helicopters, diving into pitch-black caves, outrunning fear in machines built for death. But the older he got, the more he craved a different kind of thrill: the delicious high of forbidden touch, the power of orchestrating a secret no one else could see. A secret woman bound to him by contract, not desire. A trembling voice saying "yes, Sir" while the world sees only his flawless smile. This isn't about seduction-it's about surrender. About watching her fall to addiction and knowing every step down was guided by his hand. When their paths collide, Mariana becomes part of his hidden game-paid handsomely to obey, to keep quiet, to serve a man who takes her everything. But how long can Niel keep this twisted salvation hidden from his wife, his daughters, and his family?
