CHAPTER 10

DAMIEN'S POV

I arrived at the office building in record time, irritation already gnawing at me. The fact that Adrian Voss had summoned me like a subordinate only made things worse. Voss was a parasite, feeding on any weakness he could exploit. He was the kind of man who smiled while twisting the knife.

As I entered the conference room, there he was, sitting casually at the head of the table as though he owned the place. His tailored suit looked like it cost more than most people’s annual salary, and his smug grin was enough to make my blood boil.

“Ah, Damien,” Adrian drawled, leaning back in his chair. “Punctual, as always. I admire that.”

I ignored the pleasantries, closing the door behind me with a deliberate click. “What do you want, Voss?”

Adrian’s grin widened. “Straight to the point. I like that. Sit down.”

In my company? This guy has audacity.

“I’d rather stand,” I said, crossing my arms. “Now get to the point, or I’m walking out.”

He chuckled, the sound grating on m

  • A Deal With The Billionaire   Beg Better

    CHAPTER 71ROSE’S POVI was still trembling when Damien flipped me onto my back, his body heavy and cock already hard again, pinning me beneath him like I belonged there.My breath hitched, nerves and heat mixing. “Damien—”His hand slid slowly up my throat, tilting my chin until I met his gaze. His thumb brushed over my lip, slow and possessive, eyes locked on mine, dark with heat.“You’re still hungry for it,” he murmured, voice like a promise. “Aren’t you, sweetheart?”I nodded, throat tight, heat crawling through me as I swallowed around the ache building low."Open."I obeyed instantly, lips parting under his thumb as my breath caught in anticipation.Spit.Warm spit landed slowly on my tongue, and I whimpered, thighs clenching around the burn it lit inside me."Swallow."I did. I swallowed slowly, my eyes never leaving his, the taste still warm on my tongue.“Good girl,” he breathed, voice husky and full of filthy praise that made my whole body clench.His mouth crashed into min

  • A Deal With The Billionaire   Woke Up Needing You

    CHAPTER 70ROSE’S POVI woke up aching, a deep, pulsing throb between my legs.It was the kind of ache that curled low in my belly, deep and hot, impossible to ignore as it bloomed stronger by the second.Heat crawled across my skin, each brush of the sheets too much, every nerve twitching with need.Fucking ovulation. My body was begging for him.For Damien, who was right there, sprawled beside me. One heavy arm resting across my waist, his skin radiating heat against mine, his breath deep and slow.I watched him breathe, my chest lifting in sync with his, caught in the slow rhythm of his sleep. Even when asleep, tension clung to his face, his jaw tight, faint shadows bruising the skin beneath his eyes.But God, he was beautiful.And I needed him. Now. My body was already moving before I could stop it.I carefully slipped out from under his arm, heart pounding, thighs clenching at the warmth he left behind.His shorts clung low on his hips, tempting and in the way. They had to go.I

  • A Deal With The Billionaire   She Was Home

    CHAPTER 69DAMIEN’S POVThe war was over.Sterling Corp was still standing, the lights on, doors open, like it hadn’t come close to breaking. I was still on my feet too, but only because I hadn’t stopped moving long enough to fall.The second I walked into my office, the exhaustion hit me hard. My legs slowed down, my shoulders dropped, and suddenly I could feel every hour I hadn’t slept.Madison sat in the chair across from my desk, elbow propped on the armrest, fingers pressed to her temple. Her jacket was half off one shoulder, hair pulled back loose. She didn’t speak, just looked at me, worn down in all the same places.“Send a memo,” I said, rubbing my hand over my face before pushing it through my hair. “Everyone who stayed in it till the end gets a $1,000 bonus. Effective immediately."She raised an eyebrow, barely. A flicker of something, maybe surprise, flashed for a second, but she didn’t push. “Consider it done,” she said, already turning toward her screen.“And Madison,” I

  • A Deal With The Billionaire   Winning the War Room

    CHAPTER 68NARRATORThe guard hesitated. “Breakfast. For… uh, everyone.”The room stirred with confused murmurs and a few raised brows.Damien’s expression tensed. “Who sent it?”The security guard gestured outside, and a delivery rider stepped forward. He looked about ready to piss himself in front of the room full of high-powered executives and one particularly intimidating billionaire, who looked ready to devour him.“It’s from Miss Sinclair, sir,” the rider stammered. “She said… um… probably no one had eaten… and sent enough for... you know... everyone.”Silence dropped over the boardroom like a curtain.Damien’s fingers drummed against the polished table. The tension that had strangled the room for the past thirteen hours… cracked just a little, but it was enough.Madison smirked without looking up. “Your girl’s got more brains than half this room.”Seraphina raised a brow but said nothing.Damien exhaled through his nose before checking his watch. "Fine. Fifteen-minute break. Th

    CHAPTER 67NARRATORThe executive boardroom at Sterling Corp was suffocating. The heavy scent of coffee, stress, and quiet desperation clung to the air.Damien Sterling stood at the head of the long mahogany table, his expression carved from stone as his executives scrambled to contain the unfolding disaster. No one was leaving until it was handled.He had checked the reports three times. The extent of the breach was catastrophic. Files were missing. Some had been leaked to the press. Clients were furious, the stock had taken a hit, and investors were already getting restless.“Update me,” Damien said, his voice like a blade. Everyone straightened.The Head of Finance was the first to speak. “We’ve identified the missing files. The breach happened through a remote access point. Which means this wasn’t external hacking—it came from the inside.”“Which department?”He exhaled sharply. “Primarily R&D and Strategic Development. Project Titan’s early drafts and Fortress’s legal framework w

    CHAPTER 66DAMIEN'S POVThe car ride back was dead quiet. Not because there was nothing to say, but because everyone was running the numbers in their head.The deal with Olivier Group was secured, but barely.And I knew it wasn’t enough.By the time we stepped into Sterling Corp, the tension was suffocating. Employees were darting between rooms, phones ringing off the hook, every open space packed with impromptu meetings. The whole building looked like it had been hit by a storm, pure damage control.Madison didn’t slow down as we made it to the executive floor. She barked orders to every passing assistant like she was running triage. "I need reports from Marketing, Sales, R&D, and Finance. Everyone’s meeting in the conference room in twenty minutes."*Jackson ran both hands through his hair, clearly on edge. “We need something to push back against this.”I let out a breath and looked at him. “Then we create it.”The conference room was filled to capacity—senior execs, team leads, dep
