LOGIN"I want you, Amber." Lucien said my name with that gravelly, desire-filled tone and it made my breath hitch and my body quiver."Lucien..." I whispered breathlessly right into his mouth, my forehead resting against his as my fingers clutched tightly at the fabric of his shirt. "Why don't we... why don't we save that feast for tonight?""Because I'm starving ‘now’," he murmured, his heavy gaze dropping to my lips before locking back onto mine with a dark, unyielding intensity."But Lucien…"“There's no one here," he said.“Yes, but we're in the middle of a hallway—""Let me have you, Amber," he interrupted, his voice dropping into a thick, desperate command that sent an electric shock straight through my veins.He didn't just hold me; he hitched my thighs up slightly, hauling me flush against his solid frame so my feet were barely skimming the concrete floor. The sudden shift in angle pressed my lower stomach directly against his hips—and there was no mistaking the rock-hard man
I grabbed a plate, loading it up with eggs and crispy bacon, before sliding into a chair opposite Daniel.Across the mahogany table, Lucien didn't even pretend to look at his tablet anymore. He sat back, his broad shoulders filling out his shirt, his intense, dark gaze burning into the side of my face as I calmly picked up a fork.After three solid minutes of his suffocating, unblinking glare, I finally set my fork down with a quiet clink."What?" I asked, raising an eyebrow as I met his eyes. "Is there something on my face, Lucien?"Lucien leaned forward, resting his elbows on the wooden surface. He lazily brushed his knuckles against his jawline, his icy eyes narrowing into something dangerously sharp."By 'I took care of it myself'..." Lucien began, his voice dropping into a low, gravelly vibration that instantly cut through the room. "...you mean you...?"My cheeks flared with a sudden spike of heat, but I forced my expression to remain cool."Damnit, Lucien," I hissed, lea

I blinked, slowly sitting up and rubbing the sleep from my eyes. The robe was still tangled around my waist, the sheets beside me cold and completely untouched.It seemed like Lucien never came back.A strange, quiet mix of relief and subtle disappointment flickered in my chest but I didn't dwell on it for long and swung my legs over the edge of the mattress, running a hand through my messy hair. If Lucien hadn't returned to my room last night, it meant whatever was happening with those jammer vehicles at the east gate had kept him occupied straight through until dawn.And that meant I had work to do as well.I quickly pulled my robe tight, double-knotting the belt, and stepped toward the window to look out over the compound.The estate was already buzzing with intense activity. Patrols were doubling their rotations along the newly reinforced stone perimeter, heavy trucks were unloading final shipments near the storage silos, and in the center of the main courtyard stood Lucien—
My breath hitched sharply in my throat, my jaw dropping in utter mortification. ‘Oh God. He heard everything.’"I... you shouldn't even be in here!" I choked out, forcing my voice to sound stern, though the fierce tremble in my chest completely ruined the effect. "Where's Lucien? What happened with the vehicles at the east gate?!""Relax," Daniel hummed, tilting his head slightly as his gaze rose back up to lock onto my flushed face. "False alarm. Just a few scout trucks from a local scavenger crew testing the fence line. Lucien and the watch detail drove them off in less than two minutes."He leaned down just a fraction of an inch closer, his lips hovering mere inches from my ear, sending an involuntary shiver straight down my spine."The boss is downstairs right now, double-checking the jammer frequencies with the tech team," Daniel whispered, his warm breath fanning across my sensitive skin. "He sent me up to make sure you were locked in and safe..."A dark, dangerously slow
Left alone in the quiet room, the echo of the closing door was the only sound left in the air.My skin was still on fire, my heart hammering like a trapped bird against my ribs. The intoxicating heat Lucien had stirred inside me didn't just vanish when he walked out—it throbbed, deep and desperate between my thighs, leaving me aching, trembling, and utterly unsatisfied.I collapsed back onto the mattress, undoing the knot so my robe could completely fall open once again.I couldn't take it. My head was spinning, my body completely overriding any sense of control. Reaching down with shaking fingers, I cupped my own breast, squeezing the soft flesh as my thumb grazed over my hardened nipple. My other hand slid down, my fingers slipping down effortlessly until I brushed against my clitoris and then my dripping wet vagina."Ah... Lucien..." I whimpered out loud to the empty room, my hips arching off the bed as I pushed in two of my fingers and began to stir them, pulling them out and
