Josh gets into position between my legs, which are also bound to the bedposts. My whole reality glitches and whines as I watch him trying to do it.

Trying to stick it in me.

He can’t. I’ll never forget that he couldn’t do it.

The video cuts abruptly, and a still photo appears on the screen. It’s Josh’s senior yearbook picture, captured in that stupid suit, face smug, the banner behind him proudly sayingHarvard.

He was going to go to Harvard, just like his father.

The screen shifts again, white text against a black background, and when my eyes sweep over it, my blood runs cold.

I know what you did, Hana. And you’re going to pay for it.

The elevator doors slide open, but I can’t move. I press a shaking palm to my mouth, fighting down the panic clawing up my throat. I back into the corner of the elevator, sinking to the floor as my world spins and the demons from the past claw up to pull me under.

It all rushes back. Every scream. Every scar. Every moment I thought I’d buried.

Whoever sent this—theyknow.

DAMIAN

In the empty hotel suite,I glare down at my phone, tapping my fingers on the table, growling.

I’mpissed the fuck off.

Not just because Hana’s not bending to my wishes. Not just because I want her here so I can fuck her until she’s begging for my cock and coming all over it—though of course I do.

I dislike that she’snot with me. End of story.

Which is confusing.

This whole thing is supposed to be fun, a twisted game for me. She’s supposed to be a new plaything. Not someone I actuallywantto spend time with, unless my dick is in one of her holes.

Speaking of my dick…

I look down at my fully erect, rock-hard cock, which, it seems, shares my frustration. I could take care of this myself—pretend it’s her under me, above me, wherever I want her. Or… Ihavebeen to Tokyo before on business. I could call one of my old “acquaintances” to come over. Usually, that would be fine.

But as soon as the thought crosses my mind, it’s like I’ve stuck my dick in a freezer. I scowl as I glance down, watching my erection fade.

Fuck.

He doesn’t just need release. He seems to need releasefrom her.

Hana.

Her lips. Her skin. Her back arching as she pushes back, her tight little cunt swallowing my cock as she moans for more.

My erection instantly surges back to full-mast.

Goddammit.

Get your mind off her.You’re the one in control.

Except—I’m not. She’s got the wheel, and I very much need to rectify that.

I tuck my dick away and head out the door, marching down to Takeshi’s room to drag Hana back here. The mere idea that she thinks she can dodge me like this makes my blood boil.
