TABOO:BATION — 50 SHADES OF FORBIDDEN SHORTS novel Chapter 40

VALENTINA IS AN INTERSEX

The afternoon sun was blazing hot, and the mansion felt like an oven. My usual routine was to head to the indoor pool to cool off, and that was what I was about to do now.

I was wearing a see–through white cover–up over a tiny black bikini.

As I reached the grand doors of the pool area, two of our private security guards stepped in my way.

I frowned.

“Hello, is there a problem?” I asked.

“Pardon me, Madam,” the taller one said, looking down. “Miss Valentina is using the pool.”

I frowned deeper. “And so?”

“She has requested total privacy. She ordered that no one be allowed inside.”

I felt a surge of annoyance. “Hello… are you normal? I am the mistress of this house,” I snapped, pulling myself up to my full height. “Valentina is my stepdaughter,” I retorted, even though the statement sounded weird in my mouth.

“Move aside before I tell my husband you’re failing to respect his wife,” I commanded.

The guards looked at each other, worried about their jobs. They stepped back and opened the doors for me. I walked in with my head held high, the click of my sandals echoing off the tiles.

The air inside was humid and smelled of a sweet fragrance. I stopped near a large decorative pillar when

I saw her.

Valentina was standing at the edge of the deep end. She wasn’t swimming yet. She was just standing there, looking at the water. She was wearing a pair of tight, black swimming trunks that sat low on her hips.

Wait.

My breath hitched.

What the fuck.

The wet fabric was stretched tight, and there was an unmistakable, massive bulge pushing against the front.

It wasn’t just a small bump. It was heavy and long, stretching down toward her thigh.

A dick?

My mind raced. Valentina has a penis?

What the fuck… wait. Was this why she lived in the shadows? Why she didn’t really associate?

Fuck… Valentina De–Lore is intersex. A beautiful, muscular woman with the hardware of a man.

A small smile tugged on my lips,

The shock now disappearing, being replaced by a wave of dark heat.

This is getting more interesting. It was a win–win. She wasn’t just a woman; she had exactly what I wanted. 

I stepped out from behind the pillar. “It’s a beautiful view, isn’t it?” 1

Valentina spun around. Her eyes went wide for a second before turning into icy daggers. She looked at the door, then back at me. “I gave orders, girl. I told the guards no one enters.”

“Girl?” I scoffed. “It’s Queen, honey. And…” my eyes lingered.

“I don’t take orders in my own home.”

I walked toward her, letting my silk cover–up slide off my shoulders and pool on the floor. I stood before her in my bikini, my skin flushed. “Don’t you look too good, Val?”

I moved closer, standing in front of her now. I could feel the heat from her body. “And… I see why you wanted privacy. It’s a very big secret you’re keeping, Valentina.”

I reached out, my fingers trembling slightly. I let my hand drop lower, my knuckles grazing the thick, hard shape behind her trunks.

Valentina’s breath hitched. She grabbed my wrist, her grip so tight that it hurt, but I didn’t pull away.

“What the fuck are you doing here?!” she snapped.

I smiled. Small. “The same thing you came to do here,” I whispered the last part. “To cool off.”

“You think you’re clever?” she hissed, her voice dropping into that terrifyingly deep rumble. “You think you can use this against me? To get more of my father’s money?”

I chuckled low.

“Fine,” she rasped.
