LOGIN“Don't tell me what to do.” I glared at him, my breath catching at the dark, hungry look in his eyes when he backed me up against the edge of the desk. “That's very ironic because I am the one who always gets to tell you when to come for me. So yeah, I'll tell you what to do and when I tell you to bend over the fucking desk, you fucking do it, Mrs. Sinclair.” He seethed huskily, spinning me around harshly so that my face got stuffed against the desk with his raging hard-on pressing into me. It fired up the dark thrill coursing through my veins and I did the one thing that betrayed the guard I was trying to put up. I fucking moaned. •••• After her ex-boyfriend ruined her life and crushed her heart into pieces by getting married to a renowned supermodel, Katherine Perez, the enigmatic artist decided to get her pound of flesh by orchestrating his kidnap on the morning of his wedding. Katherine was blinded but rage and wanted to stop the wedding by all means but things took a drastic turn when the team she hired accidentally kidnapped someone else. He wasn't just anyone. He was the head of the US Mafia. Christophe Sinclair. The devil in a suit. Katherine's defiance allowed her to believe that she could get away with the grave crime she committed but everything in her life took a turn for the worse when a Mafia Don who has never been fazed by any woman comes after her with everything he has. Caught in the web of a man who reminds her of every reason she chose to lock her heart away from the world, will Katherine allow herself to be vulnerable again after everything she lost?
View MoreKATHERINEThe ringing in my ears faded slowly, like smoke clearing after a fire.Silas’s voice cut through first, “Katty—” His breath was ragged, his hand pressed against his arm where blood seeped through his sleeve. Not gushing, not fatal, but enough to leave him pale and furious.I stumbled toward him. “You’re hurt—”“I’m fine.” The lie was sharp, biting. He jerked his arm out of my reach, his jaw clenching. His eyes, though, weren’t on me. They were locked on the stranger.The stranger stood there, unnervingly composed, as though the chaos hadn’t touched him. His chest rose slowly, steady, his hands bare of blood, his gaze fixed on me like I was the only person in the room.“You should take care of that,” he said to Silas, almost casual.Silas’s nostrils flared. “And leave her with you?”The stranger tilted his head. “She doesn’t seem as scared as you want her to be.”My lips parted, but nothing came out. He was right, I wasn’t trembling, I wasn't screaming. I should’ve been. Inst
KATHERINEThat voice.It slid into the room like smoke, curling through my thoughts, heavy and impossible to ignore.I didn’t need to turn around to know who it was. My skin already recognized the shift in the air. The fine hairs at the back of my neck prickled, my stomach tightening as though bracing for impact.The stranger from my bedroom, the man who had stood too close, spoken too softly, and yet managed to make every word feel like a threat.He leaned against the living room doorway as though he’d been there for minutes, watching.His posture was relaxed, but his presence wasn’t. It was dense, oppressive, like the air before a summer storm. His hands were shoved deep into his pockets, his gaze travelling lazily over the room over me.“Who the hell are you?” Silas’s voice cracked through the silence, sharp and protective.The stranger didn’t answer right away. His gaze shifted to Silas, and there was something slow and deliberate in the way his eyes moved like he was sizing him
KATHERINE My heart threatened to burst out of my chest as I struggled to look at him. The difference in our heights made me feel so irrelevant. It made me feel so small and at the end of the day. There was nothing that I could say or do about it. I couldn't tell if it was fear or if it was intrigue, but my heart clenched with something that I couldn't entirely decipher as he towered over me effortlessly.I was tempted to beg him to just give me a few minutes. But apparently, my pride was more than my desperation as I looked at him, and at the end of the day, the word ‘Please’ remained lodged in the back of my throat.I closed my eyes and sighed as I tried to gather my thoughts together.“What is it? Cat suddenly got your tongue,” he leaned in further. He made no effort to conceal the mockery in his voice.Even though it stung, he didn't need to know that. I fought very hard to maintain a neutral expression. “I'm not sure I know what you're talking about,” I leaned my head to the si
