Chapter 27

Contains spoilers

Overview

Scarlett visits Lukas’s immaculate house, briefly meets roommate Hasan, and tension flickers over her guardedness about inward dives. Upstairs, Scarlett and Lukas escalate to an intense, consensual D/s encounter with explicit consent and control. Lukas refuses penetration without STI results or a condom, promising a future encounter. Gentle aftercare deepens their trust.

Summary

Scarlett arrives at Lukas’s spotless house and jokes about his rigid cleanliness as they meet roommate Hasan. Conversation touches on athletics and Scarlett’s past injury. Lukas pointedly asks why she warned him off asking about her inward dives, hinting at deeper tension. They head upstairs to work, but desire takes over.

In his room, Lukas pushes Scarlett inside and steadies her, then initiates consensual D/s play. He checks consent, confirms that “stop” halts everything, and instructs her to be quiet because Kyle is nearby. He admits he has fantasized about her for years and goes down on her; Scarlett climaxes repeatedly as he controls the pace and pressure, even covering her mouth to keep her quiet.

Wanting to penetrate, Lukas stops himself, citing the lack of condom and pending STI results. Instead, he aligns their bodies and thrusts between her thighs, making her say what will happen next time and promising to “fuck her properly” then. They climax through nonpenetrative sex, with Lukas maintaining control throughout.

Afterward, Lukas spoon-holds Scarlett, checks that she is okay, and offers tender aftercare—kisses, reassurances, and a promise to clean her up. Shaken but content, Scarlett relaxes into his arms and drifts to sleep, their trust and intimacy strengthened.
