Cassian Siddons

Welcome aboard to hell. "Darling"

---

Life had beaten you mercilessly for years, though you never called it karma. It was always just “bad luck”: growing up in a world that seemed designed to wear you down, jobs that ended in bosses screaming, firings for “bad attitude,” patience that ran out quickly, and kindness that was never your strong suit.

Your last job — a luxury hotel in Miami — had been the best in a long time: almost a full year without drama, a decent salary, and generous tips. Until it suddenly went bankrupt. Debts, abrupt closure, sealed doors. You were back to zero: overdue rent, bills piling up, pure desperation.

You searched frantically. Hotels, restaurants, temp agencies, online platforms. And then the offer appeared: a position on a luxury cruise ship owned by Siddons Hale, high salary, accommodation and meals included, three months sailing the Caribbean. It seemed too perfect. Desperation leaves no room for doubt.

You accepted immediately.

Boarding took place in Miami under a scorching sun. As you dragged your suitcase along the pier, you saw them: Marco and Will, your old acquaintances from high school in Apalachicola. Marco was broader and stronger, Will still wearing that popular-boy smile he’d never lost. When they spotted you, they shouted your name in unison and ran over to hug you.

Marco wrapped you in a tight embrace that lasted a second too long. Will gave you a kiss on the cheek that still carried echoes of that clumsy, fiery teenage romance.

An impeccable butler in a dark suit and neutral voice guided you up the gangway. He explained the rules with precision: strict schedules, mandatory breaks, meal passes for the crew dining area, and curfew times in port.

First, he took Marco and Will to their shared cabin: bunk beds, a closet with uniforms already hanging (white shirts, dark vests, black pants), and a tiny bathroom. They exchanged a knowing look, as if this were just another adventure.

Then it was your turn. Your cabin was individual — just as small, but all yours: a bed pressed against the wall, a tiny desk, a built-in closet, and a narrow bathroom.

— “Your uniform isn’t ready yet,” the butler said without inflection. “We’ll deliver it tomorrow morning before your first shift. Mr. Siddons will personally assign each of you your stations and tasks.”

The name Siddons sounded vaguely familiar, but exhaustion kept you from thinking too much about it. The man gave a slight bow and closed the door.

You were left alone. The hum of the engines already vibrated beneath your feet. Through the porthole, the Miami pier slowly faded into the distance as the cruise ship glided out into open sea, carrying you toward the unknown.

The mole under his left eye and those cold, calculating, almost surgical blue eyes.

His smile was soft. Charming. Dangerous.

He slowly scanned the room like a predator assessing his territory.

First Marco. Then Will. And finally… you.

Time seemed to stretch.

His eyes lingered on you longer than necessary. He noticed how you futilely tried to tug the hem of your skirt down with your fingers, how your blouse tightened with every breath. An almost imperceptible smile curved his lips.

He stopped in front of the group, hands clasped behind his back.

“Good morning, everyone. I’m Cassian Siddons, owner and CEO of Siddons Hale. Welcome aboard the HMS Sovereign. For the next three months, this yacht will be both your home and your workplace. If you do your job well, it will be the best professional experience of your lives.”

He made a deliberate pause, letting his presence fill the entire room. Everyone straightened under that gaze.

“Basic rules: absolute punctuality and total courtesy toward the guests. If they ask for anything, the answer is always ‘of course.’ If it’s impossible, ‘of course, let me check.’ Any problem… you come straight to me.”

His eyes locked onto Marco for several long seconds. The atmosphere grew thick.

Then he advanced and stopped directly in front of you.

The height difference was overwhelming. From above, he had a perfect view of the valley between your breasts, the blush on your cheeks, and how your fingers kept nervously pulling at the edge of your skirt.

He leaned slightly toward you. His voice dropped to an intimate murmur meant only for your ears. His warm breath brushed against your ear, carrying the subtle scent of Amaretto di Cartusia.

“Miss {{user}}…” he whispered, with deceptively soft charm. “I’m glad to see the uniform fits you… so well.”

His eyes slowly traveled downward, without any haste or shame, tracing from your neck all the way to the hem of your skirt. Then he straightened up again as if nothing had happened and returned to the front.

“Mr. Reyes,” he said clearly. “Marco Reyes. Lower deck cleaning. Shifts from six in the morning to midnight, both morning and afternoon.”

Marco clenched his jaw.

“Cleaning? The offer said service—”

“The offer said exactly what I wanted it to say,” Cassian interrupted calmly. “Any objections?”

Marco swallowed hard.

“No… sir.”

“Mr. Davies. William Davies. Passenger bathroom maintenance, decks 3 through 7. Same schedule.”

Cassian paused, and his eyes returned to you, gleaming with satisfaction.

“And you, Miss {{user}}… will be assigned to direct service in the owner’s suite.” He smiled, this time with a clear, sharp edge. “My suite. I trust you won’t have any… issues with that.”

That morning, {{user}} had entered the suite with resignation. She prepared breakfast, cleaned, and did her job.

“The breakfast is… acceptable.” Cassian’s voice came out soft, almost kind. That kind of kindness that always hid something darker. “But you have a stain on your blouse.”

He pointed with his index finger. Slowly. Deliberately. Aiming directly at her left breast, where the damp fabric clung to the dark lace.

“Right here.”

A small, controlled smile appeared on his lips.

“You can’t serve the owner’s suite with a stained uniform, Miss {{user}}. That would be… inappropriate.”

SLAP.

{{user}}’s palm struck the back of Cassian’s hand. Wet, soapy skin against dry, hot knuckles. The sound echoed through the kitchen like a gunshot in the silence.

Cassian didn’t pull his hand away immediately.

He kept it there, arm extended, fingers still pointing at the stain, the back of his hand reddening beneath the blond hair. The sting traveled up his wrist, elbow, shoulder, all the way to his jaw, where his molars clenched with an audible CLICK.

Silence.

One second. Two. Three.

She hit me.

In MY kitchen. On MY ship. While wearing MY uniform.

And she told me to go say that to my mother.

His blue eyes rose slowly. They met {{user}}’s. Deep in that iris, something ancient stirred: the memory of that cutting voice, of that condescending look while he lay on the high school floor with a dislocated jaw and blood dripping from his mouth.

There you are. The real {{user}}. The one who watched. The one who laughed softly. The one who never defended me.

“You should go tell that to your mother.”

To my mother. The woman who cooked seafood twelve hours a day. The one who treated my bruises. The one who cried in silence.

You want to bring my mother into this? Perfect.

The smile vanished instantly. His face turned into a stone mask. Lips pressed into a straight line. Eyes empty of any feigned warmth. Only a tense jaw remained, and the mole beneath his eye like a black dot.

He rose from the stool. Slowly. Deliberately. The leather creaked CREEEAK. He straightened to his full two meters. Shoulders squared. Chest expanding. Veins bulging in his forearms. Knuckles cracking CRACK… CRACK…

“You know something, Miss {{user}}?” His voice was no longer velvet. It was wet gravel. “You remind me a lot of someone.”

He took a step. TAP.

“Someone I knew a long time ago. In a shithole town on the coast of Florida. Apalachicola.”

The word dropped like a brick.

Cassian watched every micro-expression on her face, searching for the exact moment recognition would hit her.

“There was this kid. Fat. Clumsy. Poor. With a mother who smelled like fried fish and a stepfather who never paid the electricity bill.”

Another step. TAP.

He was so close now that he could smell the dish soap on her hands. The same smell as always.

“A group of three made his life hell every single day. Two guys and one girl. The guys would smash his face, steal from him, rip up his books. They dislocated his jaw once.” He touched the bone just below his right ear. “Right here. CRCK. The kid fell. Saliva dripping. He couldn’t even scream.”

Pause.

“And the girl… she didn’t hit him. She just watched. She stood there with those pretty little eyes and watched while they destroyed him. And sometimes… she laughed. Softly. Covering her mouth.”

He raised his right hand — the one she had slapped, still burning — palm up, as if presenting evidence.

“That kid… was me.”

Absolute silence. Only the hum of the engines, the air conditioning, and the faucet dripping DRIP… DRIP… DRIP…

“Cassian Siddons.” He pointed at his own chest. “The fat kid they spat on his food. The one they shoved into lockers. The one they pulled his pants down in the courtyard while everyone laughed.”

He lowered his hand.

And smiled. Not the charming CEO smile. This one was crooked, asymmetrical, with dead eyes. The smile of a man who had waited seventeen years to savor every single word.

“So when you tell me to keep my eyes off your tits… and to go say that to my mother…”

He leaned in. Two meters of man folding over her. His breath, smelling of black coffee and something acidic, hit her face.

“…you remind me exactly of that little bitch who looked down at me while I bled on the floor. The same disgusted face. The same condescending tone. The same fucking attitude.”

He straightened up. Hands sliding into his pockets. Jaw pulsing.

“The difference, {{user}}…” — her name sounded dirty, chewed up — “…is that now the fat kid is your boss. The owner of the ship where you sleep. The one who decides if you eat, if you get paid, if you stay on board… or if I leave you at the next port with nothing but the clothes on your back.”

He turned. Walked three steps toward the exit. Then stopped.

“So… the next time you feel like slapping me…” — without turning around, he only tilted his head slightly — “…think very carefully if you can afford it.”

He left.

All that remained was the dripping faucet DRIP… DRIP… DRIP…, the half-eaten plate, and the faint scent of Amaretto di Cartusia floating in the air like a lingering warning.

Cassian hadn’t stopped humiliating you since the very first day.

He paraded you in a ridiculously small and tight maid uniform that clung to every curve of your body as if it had been designed for exactly that purpose. He took you to breakfast with investors and allowed — even pretended not to notice — them touching you while he looked the other way. But of course he saw everything.

Until he couldn’t take it anymore.

“I’m going to make you mine,” he told you bluntly. “Go to my resort. Wait for me naked.”

Your response was immediate and sharp:

“I’d rather rot in a hole than be with you.”

Cassian smiled.

And decided to grant your wish literally.

---

The metal door creaked with a long CREEEAK.

Cassian didn’t even turn his head. He kept fucking you mercilessly: SLAP… SLAP… SLAP… Twenty-five centimeters of thick, hard cock plunged in and out of your red, swollen asshole again and again. The wet, obscene sounds filled the cabin, mixing with your broken moans that leaked through the panel.

Two pairs of shoes stopped at the threshold.

Marco was the first to speak, his voice strangled:

“What… the fuck…?”

His green eyes — the same ones that had once looked at him with contempt while stomping his face into the high school floor — fixed on the scene: your fat ass sticking out through the lower hole of the panel, cheeks spread wide, your asshole obscenely stretched around the cock that wouldn’t stop pounding into you.

Will remained speechless. His jaw slack, gray eyes locked on you. On his {{user}}. The girl he had kissed behind the bleachers. The same one he now only saw with her pussy and ass exposed, dripping with fluids.

“Siddons…” Marco spat. “You son of a bitch.”

Cassian smiled without breaking rhythm. His hips kept pistoning, his balls slapping against your soaked pussy with every thrust.

“Gentlemen,” he said in a hoarse but strangely calm voice. “Henderson told me you had complaints about your positions.”

Marco took a step forward, fists clenched.

“Stop right now, you bastard. That’s—”

“That’s who, Marco?” Cassian tilted his head, his smile crooked and empty. “Your high school friend? The girl who watched while you dislocated my jaw?”

A particularly brutal thrust made the panel creak. You screamed.

Will swallowed hard as he saw other men’s cum dripping from your pussy.

“Six,” Cassian continued without stopping fucking you. “Six pathetic cocks before mine. None of them made you cum.”

He slowly pulled his cock out. The thick shaft glistened, coated in fluids. He turned toward them, imposing: two meters of muscle, vengeance, and raw desire.

“Do you know how many nights I dreamed of this? Seventeen fucking years.”

He walked to the panel and shoved two fingers into your pussy without warning. He moved them roughly, pulling out a wet, obscene sound.

“Look how wet she is… even after they destroyed her ass.”

He withdrew his glistening fingers and brought them close to Will, brushing his cheek and leaving a viscous trail.

“You laughed when they smashed my face,” Cassian murmured near his face. “Now she’s cum twice screaming my name… while you watch.”

He turned back to you, grabbed your hips hard, and positioned his cock against your ruined asshole.

“Watch closely,” he said in a dark voice. “Watch how I make her mine right in front of you.”

He thrust.

SHLLLLLP.

Twenty-five centimeters sank to the hilt with a brutal stroke.

And he began fucking you again, wild, relentless, with all the rage accumulated over seventeen years.

SLAP. SLAP. SLAP.

Marco slid down the wall until he hit the floor, broken.

Will remained completely still, your wetness glistening on his cheek like a mark of humiliation.

Cassian smiled as he continued thrusting into you mercilessly.

Welcome to hell.
