Damian selected the best bottle of whiskey in the drinks cabinet. When he closed it, his image in the mirror made him pause. There was a smile on his face that did not suit him. And it took him a moment to realise he was humming.

He stopped humming and smiling, frowned at his reflection, and cleared his throat.

This was just business. Four days of pure, unadulterated sex to make up for all those sleepless nights since he met Nicole. And then he would purge her out of his system. She owed him this much, at the very least.

His lips twitched at the corners, the smile returning. He was only human. Anyone who’d not been satisfied in two years would have the same smile after such mind-blowing sex.

Turning away from the mirrored cabinet, he walked across the lobby to the open doors of the balcony. There, he paused and watched the woman who was the cause of everything. Nicole leaned against the rail, looking over the expansive park quite a distance below them. New York was a city that neve

  • The CEO's Obsession   Chapter 56

    Damian sat on a sofa in the middle of his bedroom, tapping his foot. Why was he nervous? It wasn’t like this was the first time. Music played in the background, and it was his favourite playlist. He bit his lip and groaned. This was taking too long. He’d been instructed to remove all his clothes and wait, and it had already been fifteen minutes. He was famished. Thinking about what was coming made him harder. He’d been hard all fucking day, but he wasn’t going to rush this. He would make sure she enjoyed it, too. He could do that; he wasn’t a teenager who couldn’t control himself. “Are you rea—”“Yes.”He grimaced and bit his lip. That had been too quick and sounded too needy even to his own ears. But it had been months, damn it. What did she expect?And then there she was, dressed in a white sheer gown and nothing else. Absolutely nothing. The light from the bathroom shone behind her so he could see everything through the material. Every curve, the strip of red, curly hair between

  • The CEO's Obsession   Chapter 55

    Dawn was breaking when Tom finally drove them through the gates of his house. It had been a long night of tests and police statements. Andrew was charged because he was the idiot who had put evidence of an unconscious woman all over the internet, and Nicole was given a clean bill of health. The doctors assured them that the drug Andrew used on Nicole wouldn’t harm the baby.He had never been more grateful than at this moment, with Nicole safe in his arms.To think that he had believed that message to start with. But if he hadn’t gone after her to demand answers, what would have happened?He pushed her hair out of the way and rained little kisses on her face.“We’re home,” he whispered.Nicole’s emerald eyes opened, and she smiled at him as the car stopped. He gently kissed her lips, savouring the feel of them against his briefly before he opened the door and helped her out. “Thank you, Tom,” Nicole smiled as Tom took some bags out of the trunk.Casey had taken his car from Andrew’s h

    Damian watched the knife and studied that certain twinkle in that dick’s eyes that told him Andrew had been waiting for this confrontation for a while. He should have ended this man sooner.“Where’s Nicole?”Andrew smirked as he gripped the knife tightly at his side. “It doesn’t matter. Nic’s finished with you. I won,” Andrew laughed. “Run along back to your posh little neighbourhood and leave us the fuck alone.”Damian looked around the hallway for anything he could use as a weapon. The other rooms were dark, but this was a big house in a nice neighbourhood. He could understand why a leech like Andrew wanted to keep a hold of it. It was all about status with him.“Did you hear me?” Andrew snapped.He looked up at the younger man and narrowed his eyes. Was this how he’d been when he was married to Nicole?“You’re off your head if you think that little toy knife is going to keep me away from her,” he said, stepping closer.As he had expected, Andrew took a small step back. He was stil

    Damian didn’t know what to think as the traffic through the city slowed him down. Casey said Nicole would never willingly return to that house, but she sent him that message, too. He wanted to believe it was a lie, but Nicole had a habit of running away whenever something happened.She had been alone all day. Maybe Rebecca had contacted her and said some shit. Or other past women. He’d been with a lot of women the past two years while trying to stop lusting after Nicole. Unfortunately, Nicole had spoken to some of them when they tried to reach him at work. Or maybe he really had come on too strong. Was she running scared? “Nicole said you told her you love her.”He looked at the woman who had jumped into his car as he was about to drive away.“I do.”“Bullshit! You don’t even know her,” Casey said.His eyes narrowed on her before he turned his attention back to the road. Was this woman the reason Nicole ran off? “What did you say to her?”“What I say to my best friend is none of yo

    Nicole watched her ex-husband put his dinner plate on the table and then pick up a napkin to wipe his mouth. He was acting as if everything was normal. She rubbed her painful shoulder, waiting to see what he would do next. Would he drug her again? Tie her up? How was he planning on keeping her here?“I redid the place how you had it,” Andrew said with a smile. “I couldn’t quite remember everything, but how did I do? The couple who bought it from us stripped it down and changed everything.”She didn’t know how to respond to that. Andrew was talking as if she wasn’t there against her will.“Would you like some pudding?” he asked.She frowned. “Andrew, what are you planning? You know this isn’t a logical solution to what is happening online—”“Would you like some pudding, Nic?” he cut in.He was so calm that ice filled her veins. Andrew had never been this terrifying. She had to play it safe here.“That would be nice. Thank you,” she said politely.“Stay here. I won’t be long,” he said,

  • The CEO's Obsession   Chapter 51

    For a moment, Nicole thought she was dreaming. She was in her old bedroom, exactly how she decorated it soon after her wedding when she’d been in love with Andrew. She struggled to keep her eyes open. Her vision swirled, and the pastel-coloured wallpaper in front of her blurred. She tried to rub her eyes, but her limbs were too heavy to move. It was only when she forcibly lifted her head that the pain made her wince, and it all came flooding back into her head. That bastard!Her shoulder hurt when she tried to roll off the bed to get on her feet. Andrew had knocked her hard into the wall before he had put something over her nose and mouth. Her struggle had only lasted seconds before her body became weak and heavy. She had flashes of being led to a car and nothing after that. She’d been out cold. Completely vulnerable. With Andrew.Her whole body went cold at the thought of what he could have done to her. It wouldn’t be the first time.Forcing her feet to the floor, she managed to si
