Seduction’s Stormy Edge

Chapter 13: The Reckoning



The buzz of my phone jerks me awake, the screen's glow slicing through the dim haze of my bedroom. It's 3 a.m., and I'm sprawled across my sheets, still half-dressed from the club—jeans unbuttoned, bra tossed somewhere in the dark. My head's pounding, a dull throb from too much vodka and the memory of Lena's hips grinding against Julian, her eyes locked on mine like a dagger. I fumble for the phone, squinting at the notification—a video link from an unknown number, the preview thumbnail blurry but unmistakable. My stomach drops. I know what this is before I even hit play.

The footage is shaky, shot from some asshole's phone in the crowd, but it's clear enough—Lena and Julian on that dance floor, her leather skirt hiked up, his hands groping her ass as she rides him through his jeans. The music's a muffled pulse, drowned by hoots and cheers, but I hear her laugh—that wild, cutting sound—and his groan as he bucks against her, lost in it. The camera pans, catching her smirk, the way she stares straight at me through the lens, like she knew I'd see this. It ends with him slumping against the pillar, her stepping back triumphant, and the screen goes black.

Fury hits me like a tidal wave, hot and blinding, crashing through the haze of exhaustion. My hands shake as I grip the phone, my breath ragged, chest tight with a rage I can't swallow. She did this to hurt me—Lena, with her spiteful little victory—and Julian let her, too drunk or too weak to care. I fling the phone across the room, the crack of it hitting the wall echoing in the silence, but it's not enough. I'm on my feet, pacing, nails digging into my palms until they sting. They don't get to do this and walk away clean. Not this time.

I grab my phone—screen cracked but still working—and fire off texts, my fingers slamming the keys. To Julian: *My place. Now.* To Lena: *Get over here. You owe me.* No explanations, no games—I'm too pissed for that. I don't care if they're together, apart, or fucking someone else right now. They're coming to me, and I'm going to make them feel this.

The wait is torture. I storm to the kitchen, splash cold water on my face, the droplets running down my neck, soaking into my shirt. My reflection in the window glares back—wild hair, flushed cheeks, eyes burning with something feral. I look like a mess, but I feel alive, electric, fury stoking a fire I can't douse. The buzzer sounds, sharp and insistent, and I don't even check who it is—just hit the button, letting them up.

Julian's first, stumbling through the door, his jacket slung over one shoulder, hair still damp from the club's sweat or maybe a late shower. "Sasha, what the hell—" he starts, but I cut him off, shoving the phone at him, the video paused on his slack-jawed finish.

"Watch it," I snap, voice low and dangerous. He takes it, confusion shifting to guilt as the clip plays, the tinny sound filling the room. Lena's heels click in behind him, her leather skirt swapped for tight jeans, her smirk faltering when she sees my face. "You too," I say, pointing at her. "You don't get to play innocent."

She crosses her arms, chin up, but there's a flicker in her eyes—nerves, maybe, or anticipation. "What's this, Sasha? Your tantrum?" Her tone's mocking, but it's thin, brittle, and I step closer, close enough to smell the tequila still clinging to her.

"You fucked him to spite me," I say, slow and deliberate, my gaze flicking between them. "In front of everyone. On video. You think that's a win?" Julian shifts, mouth opening, but I don't let him speak—just grab his shirt, yanking him toward me. "And you—you let her. So now you're both here, and I'm not done with you."

The air's thick, charged, and I feel it—the shift from anger to something hotter, something I can wield. I shove Julian back toward the couch, his knees buckling as he sits, and turn to Lena, grabbing her wrist, pulling her with me. "You want to play games?" I hiss, my breath hot against her ear. "Let's play."

She doesn't pull away—leans into it, her lips parting, and that's all the permission I need. I kiss her, hard and punishing, tasting the lime on her tongue, my hands fisting in her hair to hold her there. She moans, a sharp, needy sound, and I feel Julian's eyes on us, hear the creak of the couch as he shifts. I break the kiss, shoving her toward him, and she stumbles, landing half in his lap, her thighs straddling his.

"Touch her," I order, voice rough, stepping back to watch. Julian hesitates, eyes darting to me, but Lena doesn't—she grabs his hands, guiding them to her hips, rocking against him like she did in the club. His breath hitches, fingers digging in, and I feel the fury twist, morphing into a dark, pulsing lust I can't shake. "Harder," I say, and he obeys, gripping her tighter, his knuckles whitening as she grinds down, her head tipping back with a gasp.

I'm not just watching—I'm directing, controlling, turning their betrayal into my weapon. I strip off my shirt, tossing it aside, and step closer, my hands on Lena's shoulders, pushing her down harder onto him. "You like this, don't you?" I murmur, my lips brushing her neck, teeth grazing her skin. She whimpers, nodding, and Julian groans, his hips jerking up to meet her rhythm.

The room's a haze of heat and sound—her moans, his grunts, the slap of skin as I pull her off him, shoving her to her knees on the floor. "Not yet," I say, my voice a growl, and she looks up at me, eyes wide, lips swollen. I turn to Julian, yanking his jeans open, freeing him—hard, straining, already slick from her—and straddle him myself, sinking down in one brutal move that makes us both cry out.

He's thick, filling me, and I ride him hard, my nails raking his chest through his shirt, leaving red trails I know he'll feel tomorrow. Lena's watching, her breath ragged, and I grab her hair again, pulling her closer. "Lick," I command, and she doesn't hesitate—her tongue darts out, finding where we're joined, hot and wet against me as I move. The sensation's electric, a jolt that sends me spiraling, and Julian's hands grip my thighs, his thrusts erratic, desperate.

"Fuck, Sasha," he gasps, head thrown back, and I feel him tense, close, but I'm not letting him off easy—not yet. I lift off, leaving him groaning, and push Lena onto her back, straddling her face instead. She's eager, too eager, her tongue plunging into me, and I grind down, chasing the edge, my hands braced on the floor as I watch Julian stroke himself, eyes locked on us.

It's chaos—dominance and submission clashing, spiraling out of control—and I love it, the power, the punishment. I come hard, a shuddering, screaming release that leaves me trembling over her, her moans muffled against me as she takes it all. Julian's next, his hand a blur, spilling over his stomach with a curse, and I collapse between them, panting, the room spinning.

But I'm not done. I crawl to Lena, flipping her onto her stomach, yanking her jeans down just enough to expose her. "Your turn," I mutter, my voice hoarse, and slide my fingers into her, deep and relentless, curling them until she's writhing, begging. Julian watches, spent but riveted, and I push harder, faster, wanting her to break like I did. She does—her cry sharp, her body shaking as she clenches around me, and I don't stop until she's limp, gasping into the carpet.

We're a wreck—sweat-slick, breathless, sprawled across my living room like casualties of war. I sit back, chest heaving, the fury still smoldering but sated, replaced by an ache I can't name. Julian's slumped on the couch, shirt torn, staring at me like he's seeing me for the first time. Lena rolls onto her side, hair plastered to her face, her smirk gone, eyes soft and unguarded.

"You happy now?" she whispers, voice raw, and I don't answer—just look at them, these two who've torn me apart and put me back together in ways I can't understand. Julian reaches for me, tentative, but I pull away, standing on shaky legs.

"Get out," I say, quiet but firm, and they don't argue. Lena pulls her jeans up, wincing, and Julian grabs his jacket, both moving like they're in a daze. The door clicks shut behind them, and I'm alone, the silence deafening, my body humming with the echoes of what we've done.

I sink to the floor, my fingers tracing the marks on my thighs—his grip, her nails—and feel the weight of it all. Fury fueled this, sure, but it's left me breathless, broken, and strangely alive. The video's still on my phone, a cracked testament to this mess, and I wonder who sent it, who's watching us unravel. But right now, I don't care. I've taken it back—my rage, my lust, my reckoning—and it's enough. For now.
