Madison

Seared scallops with a vibrant citrus reduction arrived as the first course. The presentation was immaculate, befitting a restaurant of this caliber.

"God, this is incredible," I said after my first bite, closing my eyes briefly to savor the flavors.

When I opened them, Alexander was watching me with an intensity that had nothing to do with scallops.

"What?" I asked.

"You make the same expression when you eat something delicious as you do when—"

"Mr. Knight," I interrupted, feeling the heat rise to my cheeks. "We're in public."

He smirked, clearly pleased by my reaction. "I was merely making an observation."

"Well, observe your food instead."

"I prefer my current view."

I took another bite of scallop, refusing to let him fluster me. "We're here to eat lunch, Mr. Knight. Not to stare at each other."

"Yes," he agreed, his voice low and smooth as he finally picked up his fork. "We are here to eat. So eat, Madison."

Something in his tone made it sound like a command rat

    MadisonHis fingers danced along my slick folds, applying just enough pressure to make me arch my back, seeking more contact. The deliberate slowness of his movements was exquisite torture, each careful stroke bringing me to the edge without letting me fall over. "Please," I whispered, my hips lifting off the table. Alexander's eyes darkened. "Please what, Madison?" "More," I gasped as his thumb barely grazed my clit. He withdrew his hand completely, and I whimpered at the loss of contact. "Patience is a virtue." "Not right now, it isn't," I muttered. Alexander laughed. "Turn over again. I haven't finished your massage." I groaned in frustration but complied, rolling onto my stomach once more. The leather stuck slightly to my overheated skin. "Good girl," he murmured, pouring more oil onto his hands. His strong fingers returned to my shoulders, working the remaining tension from my muscles. The massage was professional now, focused on therapeutic pressure rather than teasing

    MadisonI slipped the blouse off my shoulders, letting it fall to the floor. Standing there in my black lace bra, I felt exposed yet powerful under his hungry gaze. "Continue," he commanded softly. My hands moved to my jeans, unbuttoning them and sliding the zipper down. I wiggled my hips to push them down my legs, stepping out of them when they pooled at my feet. "The rest, too," Alexander said, his voice rougher now. "You said just the blouse and jeans." "I lied." His eyes traveled over my body. "Everything, Madison." My heart hammered against my ribs as I reached behind to unhook my bra. The straps slid down my arms, and I let the garment drop. Alexander's sharp intake of breath was audible in the quiet room. "Beautiful," he whispered, pushing away from the wall and moving toward me. I hooked my thumbs into the waistband of my panties, sliding them down until I stood completely naked before him. The cool air pebbled my nipples, and I resisted the urge to cover myself. "Lie

    MadisonI stood outside Alexander's penthouse, my finger hovering over the doorbell as I took a deep breath. The hallway was silent except for the soft hum of the building's ventilation system and my own heartbeat thumping in my ears. I pressed the button, hearing the melodic chime echo through his apartment. Footsteps approached, and the door swung open. Alexander stood there, his tie loosened and the top two buttons of his shirt undone. He'd changed from his office attire into dark jeans and a casual button-down that somehow looked more expensive than most people's formal wear. "You're here." His eyes traveled over me, taking in my slightly windblown hair and the outfit I'd worn to meet Caroline. "You asked me to come," I replied, stepping inside as he moved aside. "I did." He closed the door behind me. "Drink?" "Please." I followed him through the penthouse, my heels clicking against the marble floors. The lights of the city sparkled through the floor-to-ceiling windows, cre

    Madison"Oh, I don't keep track of Alexander's love life timeline," Caroline said with a dismissive wave. "But it's ancient history now. Water under the bridge." I nodded, processing this information. Katherine. The name Alexander had called me that night in his penthouse when he was drugged. The name I'd heard Anthony mention. A real person with a history that somehow kept intersecting with my present. "I tried asking him about her once," Caroline continued, breaking into my thoughts. "At some charity gala a while back. He just gave me that icy stare of his and changed the subject." She laughed lightly. "Classic Alexander." "Sounds like him," I agreed, feeling a strange mix of emotions I couldn't quite identify. "So," Caroline leaned forward, her eyes suddenly sharp with interest. "Has he mentioned her to you? Or anyone else he might be seeing?" I shook my head. "No, he keeps his personal life very private." "Come on," she pressed. "You must have noticed something. Does he take

    Madison"Did any of his previous assistants provide this... service?" I asked, keeping my tone conversational while I sipped my drink. Caroline laughed, the sound light, and practiced. "Oh, many. I won't name names, of course. Professional courtesy and all that." She leaned closer, lowering her voice conspiratorially. "Some were more helpful than others. The smart ones realized it was in their best interest to stay on my good side." "I see," I said, setting my glass down firmly. "I'm afraid I can't help you." Her smile faltered. "Excuse me?" "As Mr. Knight's personal assistant, I have a responsibility to maintain his privacy. His schedule isn't public information, and I won't be sharing it with anyone." Caroline's perfectly shaped eyebrows drew together in a frown. "Don't be difficult, Madison. It's just a harmless text now and then." "It's a breach of confidentiality," I countered. "And honestly, if Mr. Knight wanted to see you, he has your number, doesn't he?" Her cheeks flus

    MadisonHis phone rang, and he answered immediately, launching into a discussion about another project. I took the opportunity to finalize my notes and send emails to the relevant team members regarding the Thornton property adjustments. The rest of the ride back to the office passed in comfortable silence punctuated by Alexander's occasional phone conversations. When we pulled up to the office building, Alexander stepped out first and stood by the car, waiting for me. As we made our way through the bustling lobby, employees nodded respectfully in acknowledgment. "I have meetings for the rest of the afternoon," Alexander said as we stepped into the elevator. "I'll need the Thornton property report on my desk by tomorrow morning." "Of course." I held his gaze for a moment, still feeling the electricity between us from our earlier encounter. The elevator doors opened, revealing the busy office floor. Alexander stepped out first, immediately shifting into CEO mode. "The Thornton re
