Chapter 139
My whole body betrayed me. A flicker of intimidation, a twitch of
arousal I couldn’t hide fast enough. I tore my gaze away, heat
crawling up my neck under the mask, and pressed a kiss to Aiden’s
thigh like that would erase it. His hand stroked my head, warning and
comfort all at once.
Of course, Roman caught every second. His grin turned sharp. “We’ve received the memo from Master Hale. Both of us are looking forward
to tonight’s show.”
I froze. My stomach dropped.
Show?

I didn’t get it yet. Not fully. But the way Aiden stayed calm, the way Roman smirked, the way Luna’s eyes glittered–something in me
knew.
And then the pieces began to fall into place. Oh, fuck, this was not
gonna be good.

A while into their chatter, the music shifted–low, heavy, a rhythm
that throbbed in my veins. A stage light pulsed on. I was getting ready
to watch some uncomfortably erotic show when I realized, by
everyone’s eyes on us, that we were the show.
Aiden bent down, his lips brushing mine in a kiss so brief I almost
missed it. But it was enough–enough to remind me he owned me,
enough to send heat ripping through me as Roman stepped forward
with Luna at his side.
We were led to the stage.
It wasn’t just a platform–it was a setup. Hooks hanging from the
ceiling, chains anchored to the floor, two places mirrored across from
each other. One for me. One for her.
My heart slammed against my ribs.
Aiden guided me to the center, his touch steady even as my body
shook. Aiden asked me to strip from my thong–not that it made
much of a difference…. cold air licked at my skin as he clipped me in
-wrists pulled high, ankles tethered wide, my chest and cock exposed
to the hungry eyes in the dark.
Across from me, Luna stood radiant as Roman bound her in the same
way. Her sheer fabric removed. The lace barely framing her nipples

and her sex as her arms stretched above her, and the chains clicked as
they tightened.
And just like that, we were mirrors. Two bodies, strung up and
displayed like art.
The audience hushed, anticipation thick.
I could feel every ounce of fear in my veins, but underneath it, a heat
burned so strong I wanted to scream. My cock swelled, traitorous,
aching, and I hated myself for it. Hated how watching her chest rise
and fall, the sheen of her skin under the lights, the calm on her face-
all of it made me harder.
Something was wrong with me.
Aiden leaned in close, whispering in my ear before stepping away.
“Remember your safeword.”
Roman’s voice carried through the room. “Tonight, a mirrored
performance. A lesson in symmetry, in pain and pleasure. Watch them
reflect each other.”
The lights shifted again, deep red now, music building slow.
And then the floggers came out.

Chapter 139
Leather strands caught the light as Aiden circled me, Roman circling her. The first strike landed across Luna’s chest–light, sharp, the kind that made her back arch and her lips part. The next swept across my ribs, warmth blooming in its wake.
My eyes shot to her.
She shivered, lashes low, mouth soft as she moaned. The marks
painted her body in lines, delicate patterns of red under the rhythm
of Roman’s wrist. I swallowed, hard. My skin burned where Aiden’s
flogger landed, a hypnotic heat sinking deep.
And fuck me if I wasn’t fully hard–watching her but wanting him.
Wanting the look in his eyes as he struck me, heat and desire rolled
into one.
The floggers fell in rhythm–her body dancing under Roman’s hand,
mine jerking against the chains under Aiden’s. The music pulsed, the
lights flickered, the crowd watched in silence, breathless.
And all I could think was: I’m in so deep. Too deep.
