Until Midnight Said Otherwise

Dangerous Line

Lisa snatched a glass from the table. Then she took a long, slow sip, letting the burn trail down her throat. It gave her something warm to focus on, even as her thoughts raced wildly.

“A quarter of your inheritance?” she repeated, exhaling in disbelief. “That’s not just motivation, Arthur. That’s a proposition people kill for.”

Arthur's unreadable eyes stayed on her. “It’s simple. One month with me, and you’ll have it. We both get what we want.”

Lisa tilted her head slightly, narrowing her eyes.

“That’s generous. But generosity like that doesn’t come without strings.” She paused, watching him closely. “What do you want in return… besides the fake engagement?”

Arthur’s gaze shifted. There was something darker swirling in his eyes as he leaned forward again, their knees nearly brushing.

“If one lie is enough to keep my parents off my back… then one night with you shouldn’t be too much to ask,” he murmured. “I want to f**k you.”

Lisa blinked. Her heartbeat thumped once, louder than the clink of ice in her glass. It wasn’t his words, it was the way he said them. Like the idea of sleeping with her was inevitable.

That attracted Lisa enough and before she knew it, their lips met. It was abrupt and somehow bruising. But somewhere between the kiss, Lisa remembered why she was in this job.

She pulled back suddenly, her breath shaky.

“Wait,” she said, struggling to focus. “I could lose everything. My job, my dignity. I didn’t agree to this because I wanted the mon…”

Arthur reached out and pressed a finger lightly to her lips, silencing her.

The truth was, Lisa did agree for the money.

“Shh. Just feel.”

She hated how easily the walls in her head started to fall. Something inside her warned her again… Arthur Brook was dangerous. He wasn’t the kind of man you walked away from unscarred.

“Are you… are you sure about this?” she asked faintly.

His nose brushed hers slowly and maddening. “I said one night, didn’t I?”

Arthur didn't waste any time.

He pulled Lisa towards him, his strong hands gripping her hips as he kissed her roughly.

She could feel his hard c**k pressing against her, and she moaned into his mouth as he explored her body with his hands. Arthur pushed Lisa down onto the sofa, his eyes filled with lust as he stared at her.

He reached for the hem of her dress and pulled it up over her head, revealing a lacy black panties.

What were the odds?

As his pleased eyes raked over her body, Lisa's heart raced. She didn't expect this night to go this way.

Arthur's gaze lingered on her full breasts and pert n*****s. "f**k, you're gorgeous," he growled, his voice low and rough.

He reached for her bra, his fingers undoing the clasp before pulling it off her body. Lisa gasped as her breasts spilled out, her n*****s hardening under Arthur's intense gaze.

Arthur leaned down, his mouth closing over one of Lisa's n*****s as he sucked and teased it with his tongue.

Lisa moaned, her fingers tangling in his hair as she arched her back, pressing herself further into his mouth. “Oh…”

Arthur's hands moved down Lisa's body, his fingers hooking into the waistband of her panties and pulling them down her legs. Lisa shivered as the cool air hit her wet p***y, her c**t throbbing with need.

Arthur didn't waste any time. He spread Lisa's legs wide, his eyes locked onto her glistening p***y. He licked his lips before diving in, his tongue tracing circles around her c**t as he f****d her with his fingers.

“f**k!” Lisa cried out, her hips bucking against Arthur's face as he brought her to the edge. She could feel her o****m building, her body shaking with the force of it. “Arthur… I am cumming!” she screamed, her body convulsing as wave after wave of pleasure washed over her.

Arthur didn't give her a chance to catch her breath. He pulled her up onto her knees, his hands gripping her hips as he positioned his c**k at her entrance.

Lisa gasped as he thrust into her, his c**k filling her up completely. He f****d Lisa roughly, his hips slamming into her as he pounded into her from behind.

Lisa could feel his c**k hitting her G-spot with every thrust, and she knew that she was going to come again.

"Fuuuck, you're so tight," Arthur grunted, his fingers digging into Lisa's hips as he f****d her harder.

This was the second time… Lisa could feel her o****m building again, her body trembling with the force of it. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head.

When she finally came, it was with a silent scream.

Her mouth was wide open as her body violently shook as another high voltage of pleasure swept her off the bed. Her toes curled.

Arthur followed soon after, his c**k twitching inside of her as he came with a roar.

“Shit.” Lisa whispered, panting and sweating. She couldn't help but wonder why she was so drawn to Arthur.

He was rough, and he didn't hold back when it came to s*x, but there was something about him that she couldn't resist.

"That was f*****g amazing," Arthur grinned.

All Lisa could do was smile, feeling a sense of satisfaction wash over her. Although she wasn't sure if she had made the right choice.

Lisa opened her eyes slowly, blinking at the unfamiliar ceiling. She groaned, feeling warmth, and her limbs were sore in places she didn’t even know could ache.

Her mind felt foggy. “What the f**k happened?”

Suddenly… it all came crashing down.

Arthur Brooks. She had f****d him. Panic seized her chest as she sat up carefully, glancing down at herself, then at him.

Her thoughts scrambled to reconstruct the night.

There had been drinks… a kiss that had gone too far when he offered her his inheritance.

Shit, s**t, s**t.

Lisa slid out of the bed as quietly as possible. Her clothes were scattered, her head was pounding, and the sinking feeling in her chest deepened.

What the hell did I do?

She was still reeling when Arthur shifted on the bed.

“Lee. You were so flexible last night. Quite the show.”

Lisa stopped cold.

She turned around slowly. “What did you just say?”

Arthur rubbed his eyes lazily, sitting up against the headboard. “Why are you yelling? I’m complimenting you.”

“I—” Lisa swallowed hard. “I don’t even remember… Did we actually sleep together?”

Arthur’s brow twitched, clearly amused. “Selective memory? That’s cute. We did more than sleep, I assure you.”

Lisa’s face twisted in fake disbelief. “That’s not funny, Arthur. I don’t remember anything past that drink. And now you’re telling me I did some kind of performance?”

Arthur’s smirk deepened. “Relax, Lee. We both wanted it. Besides, you were very enthusiastic. I’m just appreciating the effort.”

Lisa’s expression hardened. “That’s what you took away from this? That I was flexible? No. It's obvious you’re mocking me.”

“Yeah, so what?” Arthur waved a hand carelessly. “Don’t be dramatic. It’s not like you haven’t done this before.”

Lisa’s heart dropped. “That’s low. Even for you.”

“Come on. Don’t start acting like you’re some innocent lamb. We both know you came here for a reason.”

Lisa felt her throat tighten. “This isn’t about innocence. This is about the contract. And you clearly don’t understand what that means. Whatever happened between us just ruined it. I can't do this with you. Ever.”

The smile on Arthur’s face faded away. “That’s not true. I already signed the contract. So if you back out now…” He reached for his phone. “Let’s just say the rest of the world might find your little flexibility very entertaining.”

Lisa raised an eyebrow. What was he talking about? Then she connected the dots… just by looking at his phone… oh no! She gasped. “You are joking, right?”

“I’m not,” he replied calmly.

“You recorded us?” Her voice cracked.

Arthur nodded without shame.

“f*****g hell, Arthur!” Lisa screeched. “Why would you do that?”

He shrugged. “Because I don’t like to be betrayed. If you walk away from this now, I’ll make sure the world sees who you really are.”

Her knees nearly buckled beneath her. This couldn’t be happening. “Arthur… did you spike my drink?”

Arthur was silent. He just stared at her with that same unreadable look on his face.

“Did you even use protection?” she asked next, her voice shaking with fear. “Please. Just tell me.”

She thought maybe he’d at least have that much decency left to say yes.

But instead, Arthur grimaced. “I… don’t think so.”

Lisa's eyes widened with a horror she couldn’t swallow.

“Arthur…”

But Arthur didn’t meet her gaze anymore.

He looked… disgusted.

“f**k…”
