I buried my face in my hands. "Stop it! Jackson only sees me as a friend."

"Keep telling yourself that, Mads." Hazel stirred her latte with a knowing smirk. "Remember when he brought you soup during finals week?"

"He brought you soup too!"

"Campbell's from the cafeteria. You got homemade chicken noodles with those little star-shaped pasta things he special ordered."

"That's just because I had a worse cold than you did."

"Uh-huh. And what about that time he drove four hours round trip just to bring you your forgotten laptop charger?"

"He was heading that direction anyway!"

"At midnight? On a Tuesday?" Hazel snorted. "Girl, please. The man would've crossed the Sahara Desert on foot if you needed a glass of water."

I slumped back in my seat. "You're making way too much out of nothing. We studied together and hung out in groups. Normal friend stuff."

"Alright, alright. I believe you. He's just a friend. A completely platonic, totally-not-crushing-on-you friend who

    AlexanderI pushed through the doors of The Summit, the city's most exclusive rooftop bar, and spotted Anthony lounging at our usual corner table. The Manhattan skyline sparkled behind him like scattered diamonds, a view that never got old no matter how many times I'd seen it."Look who finally decided to grace us with his presence." Anthony raised his glass, ice cubes clinking. "You're late."I slid into the leather chair across from him. "Some of us actually work past five."A waitress materialized at our table, her practiced smile perfect. "What can I get you, Mr. Knight?""Macallan 25, neat.""Going straight for the good stuff." Anthony leaned forward. "Must've been a rough day.""Just the usual headaches." The whiskey arrived, amber liquid catching the dim lighting. "Dealing with you might require something stronger.""I am your oldest friend, and you treat me like some annoying business associate."I took a slow sip, savoring the burn. "Oldest friend who keeps trying to play mat

    AlexanderI took another sip of whiskey, letting the burn distract me from Anthony's probing stare. "There's nothing to tell. You're imagining things.""Am I?" He tapped his fingers on the table. "The Alexander Knight I know would've jumped at those model photos I showed you. Instead, you acted like I was showing you tax returns.""Maybe I'm evolving.""You? Evolve?" Anthony snorted. "Next, you'll tell me you've taken up knitting.""I'm serious." I signaled for another round. "Can't a man change his priorities without an interrogation?""Not when that man is you." He leaned back, studying me. "Look, I get it. Katherine was-""Don't." The word came out sharper than intended."Fine, but you can't keep waiting for her. She's gone, Alex. And these models I'm showing you? They're interested. Very interested."I loosened my tie further. "Forget about Katherine. And the models.""So you are seeing someone!" He pointed at me triumphantly."No.""Then what's your excuse?""I don't need an excu

    MadisonThe hot shower had worked wonders on my tense muscles. I pulled on my favorite silk pajama set—the pale blue one with tiny stars scattered across it. It was nothing fancy but comfortable enough for me to sink into my plush bed and finally relax after this endless day. I'd just finished towel-drying my hair when my phone lit up on the nightstand. Alexander Knight's name flashed across the screen. What could he want at this hour? I stared at the phone, debating whether to answer. But who was I kidding? We both knew I would. "Hello, Mr. Knight?" I settled back against my headboard, pulling my knees up to my chest. "Ms. Harper? It's Anthony." His voice carried an edge of concern that made me sit up straighter. "Alexander's had too much to drink. I'm sending him home with John, but none of us can access his penthouse. Could you head over there?" "Of course. I'll leave right now." I hung up and pressed the phone to my chest. Why would he drink so much? The memory of that nigh

    MadisonWith a swift motion, he pulled his fingers out and lifted me up, pushing me against the wall. My legs wrapped around his waist instinctively, and he captured my lips in another searing kiss, more intense than before. His huge cock pressed against my pussy through our clothes, the friction driving me wild. My hands tangled in his hair as he carried me through the penthouse hallway, every step making me more aware of the ache building between my thighs. "Mr. Knight," I murmured between kisses, "Are you sure you can walk straight like this?" "Worried I'll drop you?" The thought crossed my mind as his grip tightened on my ass. But he moved with surprising steadiness despite the alcohol and our precarious position. The front door loomed ahead, and I wondered if he'd managed to open it without losing his balance or making us both crash to the ground. Somehow, he maneuvered us through the entrance without faltering, kicking the door shut behind him. Inside the penthouse, he pus

    MadisonI felt his cock twitch inside my mouth, a sure sign that he was close. His breathing grew ragged as he thrust harder and faster, using my mouth for his pleasure. But just as I braced myself for his release, he pulled out abruptly, leaving me gasping for air. "Not yet, sweetheart. I need to fuck that tight pussy of yours first." He stepped back, giving me room to stand. I wiped my mouth with my hand, watching him warily. His gaze drifted over to the armrest of the couch, a wicked smirk playing on his lips. "Turn around and bend over," he commanded, nodding towards the couch. "Ass up, face down." I hesitated momentarily before complying, turning around, and leaning over the armrest. The cool leather pressed against my stomach. I felt exposed, vulnerable, my ass sticking out invitingly. His hand came down hard on my left cheek, the crack echoing through the room. I yelped. Before I could react, another smack landed on my right cheek, then another, and another. Each slap sent

    MadisonHis hands were everywhere, roaming over my body like he owned it. And fuck, maybe he did. For now, at least. He pulled back, eyes glinting with that familiar hunger. "Bed. Now." Before I could utter a word, Alexander scooped me up like I weighed nothing. My arms instinctively wrapped around his neck, our faces inches apart. His eyes burned into mine, the hunger in them sending a shiver down my spine. "What are you—?" "Shh," he hushed, carrying me towards the bedroom. "I told you, bed. Now." I swallowed hard, my heart pounding in my chest. He kicked the door open, revealing the expansive bedroom dominated by a king-sized bed. The room was dimly lit, the city lights filtering through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting long shadows that danced across the walls. He tossed me onto the bed, and I bounced slightly, my breath hitching. He stood at the foot of the bed, his gaze roaming over my naked body like a predator eyeing its prey. "Spread your legs," he commanded. "Let

    MadisonHis fingers worked my clit, his cock filling me completely. I was close, so close. His hand tightened in my hair, his thrusts growing erratic. "Come with me, Madison," he commanded, his voice strained. With a cry, I came again, my body shuddering with the force of my release. He followed soon after, his cock pulsing inside me as he found his own climax. We collapsed onto the bed, a tangle of limbs and ragged breaths. I lay there, face down, ass up, hands still cuffed behind my back. I wiggled my fingers, feeling the cool metal against my skin. As the post-orgasmic haze lifted, I became aware of a slight discomfort around my wrists. "Mr. Knight," I murmured, shifting slightly. "The handcuffs..." He propped himself up on one elbow, looking down at me with a smirk. "Too tight for you, Madison?" "Just take them off." He reached over to grab the key from the nightstand. He unlocked the cuffs, and I brought my arms forward, rubbing my wrists. There were red marks where the me

    MadisonI rushed toward the door, mind still racing about the photo incident when I collided straight into Alexander's solid chest. His hands gripped my arms, steadying me before I could stumble. "Why are you running around like a headless chicken?" His voice held that dangerous edge from earlier, blue eyes still stormy with residual anger. I straightened my blouse. "You said the car's leaving in five minutes." "Yes." His jaw remained tight as he released me, turning toward the elevator without another word. The private elevator ride to the garage stretched with uncomfortable silence. I kept my eyes fixed on the polished metal doors, hyper-aware of Alexander's imposing presence beside me. The usual crackling tension between us had morphed into something darker after he'd caught me snooping. The doors opened to the garage where his sleek car waited. Alexander strode ahead, not bothering to hold the car door for me like he usually did. I slid into the backseat, maintaining careful

    MadisonJenna handed him back his credit card with a smile. "Is there anything else I can help you with today?" Alexander glanced at his watch. "No, that will be all. Thank you for your assistance." As we left the store, I felt excitement and guilt. The clothes were beautiful, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I was taking advantage of Alexander's generosity. "Stop overthinking," he said as we walked back to where the car was parked. "I can hear the gears turning in your head from here." "I'm not overthinking," I protested. "I'm just... processing." "Processing what? That you now have a wardrobe befitting your position?" I sighed. "It's just a lot of money, Mr. Knight." "Money I can easily afford," he reminded me. We reached his car, and he opened the passenger door for me. As I slid into the seat, his hand brushed against my lower back, a touch so light it could have been accidental if not for the heat in his eyes. Once he was in the driver's seat, he turned to me before

    MadisonI followed Alexander into the first boutique, a sleek space with minimalist decor and clothing displayed like museum artifacts. A saleswoman with a tight bun and even tighter smile approached us immediately. "Mr. Knight! What an honor to have you visit our store," she gushed, ignoring my existence. "How can I assist you today?" Alexander placed his hand on the small of my back, a subtle gesture that didn't escape the saleswoman's notice. "We're looking for professional attire for Miss Harper here." Her smile dimmed slightly as she finally acknowledged me. "Of course. What kind of pieces were you looking for?" "Power suits," Alexander replied before I could speak. "Something that commands respect and exudes confidence. We need outfits that make a statement when she walks into a room." The next hour was a blur of muted grays, blacks, and navy blues. Each outfit felt more restrictive than the last, like I was trying to squeeze myself into someone else's skin. The saleswoman

    MadisonI straightened my blouse as Alexander zipped up his pants, a satisfied smirk on his lips. He looked as composed as ever, not a hair out of place. How did he do that? I felt like I'd been through a hurricane. "Ready to go shopping?" he asked casually as if we hadn't just had mind-blowing sex against his office window. "Now? Can't we go after work?" I asked, trying to tame my hair into something presentable. "I have the Miller file to finish, and—" "The Miller file can wait." Alexander grabbed his keys from the desk. "I want to see you in something new. Something that screams 'project manager' rather than 'assistant I occasionally bend over my desk.'" My cheeks burned. "Mr. Knight!" "What? It's just facts." He opened his office door, instantly transforming into the professional CEO everyone else knew. "After you, Miss Harper." I walked past him, hyperaware of the eyes following us as we crossed the office floor. Did they know? Could they tell what we'd been doing minutes a

    MadisonAlexander came up behind me, his hard cock pressing against my ass. "Look at you," he murmured, his hands sliding up to cup my breasts. "So fucking beautiful." His fingers found my nipples again, pinching and rolling them until I was squirming against him. One hand traveled down my stomach to my pussy, finding me still wet and sensitive. "Already ready for more," he observed, satisfaction evident in his voice. "Such a greedy little cunt." "Please," I whispered, pushing back against him. "I need you inside me again." He positioned himself at my entrance and thrust forward, filling me completely once more. I gasped, my forehead falling forward to rest against the glass. The contrast of the cool window against my overheated skin made me shiver. "Look out," Alexander commanded, his hands gripping my hips. "Look at the city while I fuck you." I forced my eyes open, taking in the sprawling view of Manhattan below us: office buildings, streets filled with tiny cars, and people

    MadisonHis tongue found my clit, circling it with maddening precision while his fingers pumped in and out. The dual sensation was overwhelming, pleasure building rapidly in my core. "That's it," he encouraged as I rocked back against his face. "Fuck my fingers. Show me how much you want it." I moaned shamelessly, past caring how I looked or sounded. All that mattered was the coiling tension in my belly and the skilled ministrations of his tongue and fingers. He added a third finger, the stretch burning slightly before giving way to pleasure. His other hand reached around to pinch my nipple hard, sending a jolt of electricity straight to my clit. "Fuck!" I gasped, my inner walls clenching around his fingers. "You gonna come on my tongue?" he asked, his voice rough with arousal. "Come for me, Madison. Let me taste it." His fingers curled inside me, hitting my g-spot perfectly while his tongue flicked rapidly over my clit. The combination was too much. I came with a cry, my pussy

    MadisonI moaned as he worked his fingers faster, my hips moving in rhythm with his hand. The wall was cold against my back, perfectly contrasting the heat building between my legs. "Someone could walk in," I whispered, clutching his shoulders. "Door's locked. And besides," he nipped at my earlobe, "the risk makes it hotter, doesn't it? Knowing the entire office is just outside while I finger-fuck you against my wall?" My inner walls clenched around his fingers at his words. Damn him for knowing exactly what to say. "Look at you," he growled, his eyes dark with lust. "So fucking responsive. Your nipples are hard already, and I haven't even touched your tits." As if to remedy that oversight, his free hand moved to my blouse, deftly undoing the buttons before pushing my bra up. The cool air hit my exposed breasts, making my nipples tighten further. "Perfect," he murmured, lowering his head to take one peak into his mouth. I cried out, my back arching off the wall as he sucked har

    MadisonThe elevator doors slid open, and I stepped onto the executive floor. The office was quieter than usual, probably because I'd arrived earlier than normal. After yesterday's chaos, I wanted to get a head start on the day. I set my purse down at my desk and glanced toward Alexander's office. I could see him already at his desk, focused on his computer screen. Of course, he'd beaten me here. The man probably never slept. I smoothed down my pencil skirt, took a deep breath, and walked to his door, knocking lightly before entering. "Good morning, Mr. Knight," I said, trying to sound professional despite the memories of our kiss in his car last night. Alexander looked up, his eyes immediately traveling from my face down to my heels and back up again in a quick assessment that somehow made me feel both appreciated and undressed at the same time. "Madison," he replied, his voice low and rich. "Sleep well?" "Yes, thank you." I walked further into his office. "How long have you be

    MadisonWhen I woke the next morning, sunlight streamed through my curtains. I felt more rested than I had in days. I stretched, my muscles protesting slightly after yesterday's tension. After another quick shower to fully wake myself up, I headed to the kitchen. I whipped up some scrambled eggs with spinach and toast, humming to myself as I worked. I was halfway through my breakfast when my phone buzzed with a text. Hazel's name flashed on the screen, and I swiped to read her message. Hazel: OMG GUESS WHO'S A FINANCIAL GENIUS NOW??? ME!!! I frowned at my phone, confused. Another message popped up before I could reply. Hazel: I bought Knight Industries stock yesterday morning when all that drama hit! Then, I sold some shares at close. I made a $340 profit in ONE DAY!!! My fork clattered against my plate. What the hell? Hazel had never shown any interest in the stock market before. I quickly typed back. Me: Since when have you been playing the stock market??? Hazel: Since I rea

    MadisonI leaned against the wall in Alexander's office, watching him take the last of his calls for the day. The Bloomberg interview had gone even better than the first, and the Fox Business segment had been nearly perfect. Alexander had been calm, articulate, and confident enough to reassure investors without seeming arrogant. "That's correct," he said into the phone, his voice steady. "Knight Industries welcomes any regulatory review. Our books are open, our practices are transparent, and these allegations are baseless." He paused, listening. "Yes, I understand. Thank you for your support." He hung up and ran a hand through his hair, looking tired but satisfied. "Good news?" I asked. "The market's closed, and we ended down only four percent. Some of our other stocks performed better, some worse, but overall..." He shrugged. "It could have been much worse." "That's a relief," I said, feeling the tension that had been coiled in my shoulders all day finally start to loosen. Alex
