PHOENIX

I can’t watch the video of Ani any longer or my cock will explode.

“Holy fucking Christ,” I say to myself.

She’s a hot piece of ass. I can’t look away from this woman I shouldn’t like. I shouldn’t.

Liking her has made me weak. Liking her has made me act like a Godwin never does. Liking her has made me soft.

A sense of primal possession surges through me. Part of me wants to be outside her door. Keeping her safe. Making sure no one can enter the room. Ever.

Yes, she’s a captive, but she is my captive. Any man who dares to go near her will be a dead man. Don’t even talk to her. No contact at all.

There’s no one here… but if there was.

Insanity is taking hold again. She brings out the madness. I feel it. I hear the beating of the crazy drum.

No one will ever even lay eyes on this woman again. Only me. Only me!

My attention is pulled back to the screen where Ani’s shaved pussy is visible. Holly Hell.

Smirking, I shake my head. I am a kinky son of a bitch.

Trying to refocus, I glance down at the list of comfort items, making sure I don’t forget anything. Ani will be earning her items one at a time. For now, I furnished the room next door to hers so I have all the pieces on hand. I’ll hold back no expenses. It will be better than the guest room furniture she recovered with. Only the best linens, a four-poster bed more elegant than the last, rugs, drapes, art. Have it all. Hopefully, my dove earns it all.

When I glance back at the monitor, my cock grows hard. She’s so bare. Her sexy pink pussy is smooth and mouthwateringly delicious.

Focus, asshole. Focus .

I’ll want security beefed up during her stay here. Her location is on a need-to-know basis. Only my most trusted inner circle and no one else. No one.

There’s Daphne and Apollo to consider, but I’ll address that as it comes.

I will execute every detail with the utmost attention. I run a tight ship, and everyone who works for me knows just how detail-oriented and what a perfectionist I am. My demands are high, but my rewards are plenty.

I peek at the screen again only to see Ani’s naked body is on full display. She’s not even trying to cover herself.

My hardening cock is dying for attention. Dying a slow death.

How long will I have to wait to fuck her?

How long can I wait? That is the actual question.

Pulling my eyes away, I focus on the plan. Welcoming a new Godwin to the family. I need to make my family impenetrable. To those who want to invade my bubble…

I’m going to have a baby. I’ve never had any desire to have one before. I didn’t want a family. Frankly, I wanted to stop the poison root of the Godwin family tree from an early age. But then there is right and wrong. It’s wrong that the next heir is going to be from Daphne. That can’t be. I can’t let that happen. And Athena mentioned before that she has no plans to have children, which means it’s up to me to not give Daphne and Apollo all the power of the future. Daphne could be the puppeteer, and it’s my job to cut the strings.

Am I doing this for my father? Fuck no. But am I doing this for me? I suppose I am.

Not being able to watch Ani from afar any longer, I leave the security console to begin phase one of my plan.

Teach this lady a lesson.

Time to pay, Ani Parker. Time to pay.
