Kade’s POVThe ballroom shines under the lights of the golden chandeliers, the sound of clinking glasses and laughter filled the air as cameras flashed from every corner, journalists whispering different things to themselves, socialites draped in wealth and power.Engagement party of the year, they called it—the perfect union between Kade Valen and Selene Blackwell. Two heirs of different dynasties.What a fucking joke.I stood there in a tailored suit with an empty smile plastered on my face as Selene tightened her grip on my arm as though she would vanish if she didn’t hold me. “Smile, darling,” she whispered in my ears, “You look like someone just died.”“Maybe something did.” I shot back, faking a smile for the media that didn’t quite reach my eyes. She giggled — high, sharp enough to get on my nerves and then she leaned in closer, her perfume wrapped around me like smoke. The reporters in front of us cheered for a picture, their camera flashes exploding in quick bursts of whit

Lia’s POVJulian’s touch had vanished. The warmth of his body on me that had been fire a second ago felt like nothing now. I blinked, trying to understand what had changed in him as his body grew tense; his chest rose and fell too fast.“Julian?” My voice came out quieter than it should have. “What’s wrong?”He didn’t say a word, he just turned away from me and ran a hand through his hair, muttering something under his breath I couldn’t catch. I sat up slowly, confusion clawing through me. “Did I… do something?”“Don’t,” he snapped, his voice low but sharp enough to cut through me.My breath caught. “Don’t what?”He turned back to face me, and the look in his eyes wasn't funny at all— a type of look that I had never seen in his eyes. This Julian was different—dark and distant.“You need to go,” he said as he forced himself away from me and started putting on his shirt and trousers again. “What?” The word tumbled out of me in disbelief.“Leave.”For a moment, I thought I misheard him.

Lia’s POVJulian didn’t waste time as he tore off my left underwear impatiently, just as soon as he said those words to me. After he had smelt it, he threw it to the side of the bed once satisfied.“Lia” he called out, getting more erect as he saw my exposed vagina as I just lay there watching him eat me up with his eyes. He kissed my pussy, making me moan with a louder pitch this time and I sat up again, filled with a tingling sensation but lay back on the bed.He kissed me again, making my toes curl as I wriggled on the bed. “F….fuck….” The shameless word left my mouth before I could stop it. I couldn’t take it anymore when he began sucking my pussy, it made me lose it as I moaned loudly now. I tried pushing his head away but he was weakened by the pleasure to do so.“You look so tight,” Julian growled as he finally stopped. I tried to close my legs but his hands were there to stop me as he parted them wider. I just lay there watching him as he was about to put his face between my l

Lia’s POVJulian leaned in and touched his lips with mine, not kissing me yet but caressing my lips with his, teasing me as I closed my eyes when he leaned in, ready for our lips to crash against each other.He sucked on my upper lip first, feeling how soft it was, before he enveloped both my lips now. “Mmmmn…” the shameless moan came out of my mouth before I could stop it, and Julian loved every bit of it.I didn’t return his kiss at first, just let him play with my lips as I enjoyed it. I didn’t feel his tongue yet in my mouth, I wanted that so badly so I grabbed onto his neck to kiss him back still with my eyes closed but he moved away from me a bit, making me long for those lips that just left mine.“Are you sure you really want me to do this, Lia?” Julian asked with his face a mix of confusion and pleasure.“Y…yes… just kiss me.” I managed to force the words out as I opened my eyes, he wasn’t in front of me, he was behind me now. He kissed my neck and I let out a soft moan again

Kade’s POVI’d poured myself another drink, though I’d stopped tasting anything hours ago because the whiskey burned but not enough to quiet what kept replaying in my head.The way her body pressed against mine when those shameless moans escaped her lips when she called out my name. I slammed the glass down on the counter, watching the amber liquid spill across it.“Enough,” I murmured more to myself than anyone. But my heart didn’t listen no matter how much I hated her for what she was doing to me. Yet, I hated myself more for still wanting her.I told myself it was over because at least I’d taught her a lesson by showing her that she belonged to me and no other man. But the image of her face when I’d stopped myself from fucking her—face—half fury, half something else—wouldn’t leave me alone.God….I didn’t hear the door open. But the scent of a familiar perfume filled my nose before I turned to know who it was.Selene.She stepped into my living room like she owned it with the sound

Lia’s POVThe elevator ride to Julian’s house felt longer this time. I wore red lipstick, a transparent silk blouse that showed more than it should have, and jeans that hugged tighter than usual. I told myself it was a casual meeting between us today, all I had to do was teach him and go home. But deep down I knew better that this wasn’t about art class today. It wasn’t even about Julian.It was about Kade — the one man I couldn’t seem to forget no matter how much I tried to. If I could make Julian want me, maybe I could finally forget the way Kade’s hands had owned every inch of my body last night.As the elevator doors opened, I exhaled a shaky breath through trembling lips especially as the air smelled faintly of wood and paint. Julian’s penthouse looked different tonight; the light bulbs were low, casting shadows across the room. Candles were set near the windows, their glow soft and intimate, and at the center of the studio stood a small dining table — two chairs, two glasses
