Karen Stewart’s face paled at the sight of Maddox Laurier, a force to be reckoned with. Who didn’t know him and his family? “Oh, what a pleasant surprise to have you here, Mr. Laurier. Umm, what can I do for you?”

Maddox stopped at her desk and glared at her. “Karen Stewart, right?” He read her name on her identity card. “You haven’t helped the students here. Isn’t that your job, Ms. Stewart?”

Iris stepped backwards, wanting to escape before his attention fell on her. She had no idea why he was here. Was he helping her? Why would he?

The twins looked flustered, too. Did they know he was the enemy? Did they realize his family had destroyed their mom?

“I always help my students, sir. Isaac and Ivan here do not meet the basic eligibility criteria for a scholarship. There are so many deserving candidates at our school. It would be a shame if they didn’t get a chance. Anyway, their older sibling is a school dropout.” She gave a nervous laugh and glared at Iris.

  • A Reckless Dream   Chapter Twenty-Three – Sinfully Yours

    “Tired already?” Maddox smiled instead of getting worked up.“Already? We’ve taken a 4-hour detour on Route 66!” She sagged into the seat, closing her eyes. After lunch, Maddox wanted to show her around Barstow. He drove along the historic Route 66 to enjoy the major attractions. Iris had been too enthusiastic to check the time. Now the sun was about to set, and they hadn’t yet left for Las Vegas.Strangely, he seemed in no hurry to reach anywhere.“So, was it worth the effort?” He smiled as he waited for her excited reply.Iris opened her eyes and gazed at the high-desert landscape and stunning mountain vistas all around her. The sun was about to set, casting a reddish hue across the sky. It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen.“Yes, totally! I’ve never been to a place as beautiful as this!” She couldn’t tear her gaze away as she watched the sun set.Maddox watched her in awe, loving the way her eyes lit up every time. Cassandra had been so difficult to please, he had give

  • A Reckless Dream   Chapter Twenty-Two – His Equal?

    Iris sat up as the car sped through I-10 towards an unknown destination. Where were they going? Despite the brief argument with his mom, Maddox looked excited. A smile played on his lips as he negotiated the boring LA traffic. What was so amusing? The guy was truly bipolar! “Where are we off to? Let me share your excitement as well.” She watched his smile broaden, and he cocked an eyebrow at her. “I doubt you’d be excited about it.” He gave her an amused look. Iris looked flustered. “Why? Is it a desert?” He dipped his chin in a nod. “Well, sort of desert, but it’s a sinner’s paradise, a major hub around here. Can you guess the place?” Iris chewed her lip as she considered the hints – desert, sinner’s paradise, hub. “I see. Well, Nevada is a desert if we’re heading there. And Vegas is Sin City. So are we off to Las Vegas?” “Not bad! Not bad! I underestimated your IQ.” He smiled as he negotiated a bend. His appreciation meant the world to Iris. She blushed and turned to face him

  • A Reckless Dream   Chapter Twenty-One – Neck Deep In Debt

    The next morning, Iris had just finished making breakfast when Maddox emerged from his room. He was too busy barking at someone over the phone to pay any heed to her. Iris served him breakfast, but he hardly glanced her way. “No, Mr. Harold, I want the report emailed to me right away.” It relieved her. The thought of facing him after last night had bothered her all night. How could he look so unaffected, as if they hadn’t connected last night so intimately? Had it meant nothing to him? Maybe he was used to these hook-ups. Why did it hurt her to see him so aloof? Iris returned to the kitchen to wrap up her work when he looked up at her. “Why aren’t you joining me?” He still scowled at her. It was clear something was bothering him. He had woken up on the wrong side of the bed. Or had he slept at all? The dark circles around his eyes told a different story. Strangely, even at 7 am, he seemed in no hurry to leave for work. “I’ll grab something later, sir.” She avoided looking at h

  • A Reckless Dream   Chapter Twenty – Call Me Maddox

    Iris closed her eyes and fisted her hands in his hair, pushing his head more. Sparks swam before her eyes when she felt his tongue press against her entrance. “Oh, please...” A moan of pleasure escaped her, and she had no idea what she was begging him for. The pleasure was intense, beyond her expectations. She had expected to pay off his debt like a task. But this wasn’t a task. It felt heavenly! He pulled her legs apart into a wider stance and groaned. “Mm, sweet like nectar!” He licked her slit and circled her clit, making her body tremble with need. Jolts of ecstasy ripped through her body, and she opened her eyes to watch him please her. His passionate admission gave her more confidence in herself. Knowing he liked her body made her open up and enjoy the attention. The way he devoured her, she could feel how hungry he was for her. But she was addicted to him now. His hands gripped her ass, and he moved her back and forth to give him better access to her. “Fu*k!” he growled ag

  • A Reckless Dream   Chapter Nineteen – The First Installment 

    Iris stood paralysed, watching the phone in his hand. Shyness gripped her hard as she considered ways to kiss him. The last time she had been upset with him. She had done the impossible impulsively. But now, with his heated gaze pinned on her, she couldn’t make a move.“Umm, I’ll take it later. Thank you. If you don’t need me, I’ll leave. Good night, sir.” She took a few steps backwards, ready to flee.“Wait, how will I call you? Here, come and take it…” He held out the phone to her, his unwavering gaze following her every move. Iris hesitated. Was it a ploy to get her closer? Yet a strange force pulled her towards him. She knew what would follow if she went closer, but she couldn’t decline him. Stopping right in front of him, she grabbed the box, but he snaked his arm around her waist instead and pulled her into his arms. To her utter disappointment, he eased the phone out of her hands and placed it on the desk nearby. “You’re forgetting something, don’t you think?”Her heart skipp

  • A Reckless Dream   Chapter Eighteen – Who’s Lucille?

    Iris still trembled, remembering the harsh words of Evangeline Laurier. What else had she expected from her mother’s employer? It was a relief that she hadn’t recognized her yet. Or her life would have been shattered. Maybe the costume had saved her this time. But for how long? Surely at the next meeting, she would recognize her.Maddox had disappeared too immediately after she left, without even glancing at her. Was he mad at her for not changing out of the uniform? She had been so nervous; it had escaped her mind. Their heated arguments had made her cower. She hadn’t expected Mrs. Laurier to barge into her room.Then there was the mysterious Lucille, who was back from the university! Who could she be?Nervousness gripped her heart as she changed out of her uniform. With Maddox gone to work on an empty stomach, Iris felt upset. Now what would she do with so much food? Eat them for breakfast and lunch? Obviously, she couldn’t waste it.Throughout the entire day, Iris tried hard to kee
