"Loss of Control"

As they stood there, lost in the moment, Sophia felt a sense of freedom that she had never known before. It was as if she had been living in black and white, and Julian had brought color into her world. She knew that she would never forget this moment, this feeling of being alive, and she was desperate to hold onto it for as long as possible. Their passion had taken over, and they had ended up in Julian's bedroom, where they had surrendered to their desires. The memory of their heated, unprotected sex still lingered in her mind, and Sophia felt a sense of vulnerability wash over her. She had never been one to have casual sex, but there was something about Julian that made her feel like she was losing control. As they lay there, catching their breath, Sophia's phone suddenly rang, shattering the intimacy of the moment. She groggily reached for it, expecting it to be a wrong number, but her heart sank when she saw her best friend, Alex's name flashing on the screen. "Hey, girl, what's up?" Sophia answered, trying to sound more awake than she felt. But before she could even respond, Julian's eyes locked onto hers, and Sophia felt a sudden chill run down her spine. There was something in his gaze that made her feel like she was in trouble. "Not much, just got a little busy," Sophia replied, trying to play it cool. But Julian was having none of it. He sat up, his eyes never leaving hers, and reached out to take the phone from her hand. Sophia felt a surge of defensiveness, but she let him take it, unsure of what was happening. "Who is it?" Julian's voice was low and menacing, and Sophia felt a shiver run down her spine. "It's Alex," Sophia replied, trying to stay calm. Julian's eyes narrowed, and he took a deep breath before speaking into the phone. "Hey, Alex, this is Julian. Sophia's... indisposed right now. Can I take a message?" There was a pause, and Sophia could hear Alex's voice on the other end of the line, but she couldn't quite make out what he was saying. Julian's expression darkened, and Sophia felt a sense of unease wash over her. "No, I don't think that's a good idea," Julian said finally, his voice dripping with disdain. "You need to leave her alone, Alex. She's with me now." Sophia's eyes widened in shock as Julian hung up the phone and turned to face her. "You're mine now, Sophia," he said, his eyes burning with possession. "Don't you forget that." Sophia felt a shiver run down her spine as she realized that Julian was not just a man who was interested in her; he was a man who wanted to own her. And she wasn't sure if she was ready to be owned.
