Chapter 77: A step from RuinHe didn’t kiss her. He simply looked at her, his gaze burning over every revealed inch of her, and then he pulled her, wordlessly, from the kitchen.They didn’t speak as they moved down a hallway, away from the sleeping forms in the living room. He pushed open the door to a guest bedroom, a room of muted greys and soft whites, and pulled her inside, shutting the door with a quiet, definitive click.The lock engaged.In the silence of the room, the only sound was their ragged breathing. The faint light from the city skyline filtered through the blinds, painting bars of silver across the bed.Then, he was on her.This was nothing like the hesitant, desperate kiss in the truck. This was a conflagration. His mouth crashed down on hers, hungry and consuming. There was no finesse, only raw, pent-up need,and a deliberate dismantling. James caged her against the polished wood, his body a solid wall of heat. His mouth explored hers with a devastating thoroughness—l

Chapter 76: The UnravelingThe days that followed were a masterclass in sustained tension. At the site, Emily and James orbited each other like charged particles, their professional interactions laced with a new, dangerous subtext. Every discussion over blueprints was fraught with the memory of his mouth on hers. Every time he handed her a file, his fingers would linger, a whisper of contact that shot straight to her core. He never referenced the kiss outright, but his eyes told the story—dark, knowing, and endlessly patient.He found reasons to be near her. Leaning over her shoulder to examine a measurement, his chest brushing her back, his breath warm on her neck. Brushing past her in the narrow trailer, his hand “accidentally” grazing the curve of her hip. The air between them grew thick and heavy, a living thing that made it hard to breathe. Emily’s once-impenetrable professionalism became a fragile shell. She caught herself watching the way his forearms flexed as he worked, the s

Chapter 75: A Crack in the ObsidianOutside, under the porte-cochere, the valet brought his truck. James held the passenger door open for her. “I’ll drive you back to your car at the site.”“I’ll call a cab.”“Don’t be ridiculous. It’s a business expense.” His tone brooked no argument. It was the voice of a partner, making a sensible decision.Seething, Emily slid into the truck. In his truck outside the deserted site, the armour dissolved into vulnerability. The console’s soft glow painted her in chiaroscuro, highlighting the tense line of her neck, the rapid flutter at her throat, the dress took on a new character. Under the harsh, angular light of the security lamps, it became a web of shadows and highlights, painting her restrained form in graphic detail. The console light glinted off the subtle sheen at her hip, the curve of her waist. She felt utterly on display, the thin fabric no barrier at all against the intensity of his gaze in the confined space. The scent of the truck—age

Chapter 74: The Imperial GrillThe Imperial Grill existed in a bubble of preserved opulence, all dark wood, low amber lighting, and the murmur of discreet power. Emily stood for a moment outside the heavy oak door, the cool evening air raising goosebumps on her skin—skin that felt acutely exposed beneath the dress she’d chosen as both armour and announcement.The dress was a study in calculated revelation. Made of a sheer, smoky-black georgette so fine it seemed spun from shadows, it was fully lined, yet the lining clung with such absolute fidelity to her form that it became a second, darker skin. The fabric was weightless, a whispered touch against her body that moved with her every breath, but it held her with a taut, respectful tension, as if aware of the masterpiece it sheathed.It was a simple column dress, high-necked and long-sleeved, yet its simplicity was its most profound provocation. The material hugged the disciplined arch of her back, following the deep curve that flared

Chapter 73: Unspoken ThreatsThe silence that followed Emily’s declaration was not empty. It was thick, charged, vibrating with everything James had left unsaid. His eyes, which had moments before been soft with manufactured adoration, cooled into something harder, more assessing. The charming facade didn’t crack so much as it recalibrated.“Professional,” James repeated, the word tasting flat on his tongue. He took a measured step back, mirroring her, his hands retreating to the pockets of his pants. “Of course. The project comes first.” He offered a smile, but it didn’t reach his eyes. It was the smile of a chess player who’s just seen a new, more interesting path to checkmate. “Forgive the… lapse. The pressure of these deadlines, seeing you work so tirelessly… it inspired a moment of misplaced poetry.”Emily nodded, her own posture rigid. She didn’t believe his gracious retreat for a second. It was too smooth, too quick. This was a tactical withdrawal, not a surrender. “We should f
