Paige.

“Let’s get out of here.”

I don’t know what it is about the way Dante says it low, controlled, almost quiet but the words wrap around my spine like a command.

The ballroom is still alive behind us with laughter and music. The hum of power and money and flashing cameras. Investors are waiting for him. Reporters are still circling like vultures.

And yet he is looking at me like none of that matters, like I am the most beautiful girl in the room.

“Now?” I repeat softly.

His jaw tightens sli

    PaigeI woke up looking around, as the memories of what happened last night came back to me making my whole body tingly. I sit up wrapping a sheet around me as I looked at Dante who was sprawled next to me. For a long moment I didn’t move afraid I might wake him up. He was sleeping so peacefully beside me, lying on his back, one arm thrown above his head like he had simply collapsed there during the night. His dark hair was slightly messy, his expression softer than I had ever seen it. Without that constant tension in his face, he looked younger.It made something warm bloom in my chest.Last night felt almost unreal now. Like a dream I had been afraid to wake from. But he was still here, solid and real beside me, the steady rise and fall of his chest proof enough.I smiled.Carefully, I shifted onto my side so I could look at him better.He really was unfairly handsome. Strong jaw, dark lashes resting against his cheekbones, the faint shadow of stubble across his chin. I had spen

    DanteThe moment my lips touch hers, something inside me shifts permanently.Her fingers tighten in my shirt like she is afraid I might disappear, and that small, unconscious gesture nearly undoes me.I deepen the kiss slowly, not rushed, not reckless m giving her time to pull back.She doesn’t.Instead, she rises slightly on her toes, meeting me halfway.The control I have prided myself on my entire life feels paper thin right now.I slide my hand from her waist to the small of her back, holding her steady but not trapping her. I need her to know even now that she can step away.When I finally break the kiss, it’s only because I need air.Her lips are swollen and her breathing uneven.And she is looking at me like I have just rewritten the rules of our arrangement.“Are you still sure?” I ask quietly.Her answer is immediate. “Yes.”There is no hesitation at all.I rest my forehead against hers for a moment, gathering myself. I have negotiated billion dollar deals without blinking. I

The hum of power and money and flashing cameras. Investors are waiting for him. Reporters are still circling like vultures.And yet he is looking at me like none of that matters, like I am the most beautiful girl in the room. “Now?” I repeat softly.His jaw tightens slightly. “Yes, now.”There is something simmering under his calm exterior and it's not anger anymore, it's something more dangerous.I glance towards the crowd instinctively, where Ethan stands near the bar, watching us, watching me and Dante notices.His fingers slide around my wrist not too tight, not forceful just enough to ground me.“Come with me,” he says again.I swallow.“Is this because you want to leave with me” I ask carefully, “or because you don’t want him looking at me?”His eyes dar

    Dante “May I cut in?" My voice is calm.Ethan’s hand is still at Paige’s waist when he looks at me. His smile is smooth and controlled. The kind of smile men like him wear when they think they arewinning.“Of course,” he says easily. “She is your wife, after all.”The way he says wife makes my jaw tighten.Paige turns to me, her cheeks all flushed, her eyes bright from champagne and laughter. She looks breathless and aliveAnd I hate that he made her look like that. I have never seen her look so free since she moved into my house. I slide my hand around her waist, firmer than necessary, and guide her onto the dance floor as the band shifts into something slower. My palm presses against the small of her back. She smells like vanilla and something dangerously intoxicating.The moment we are out of earshot, I lean down.“What the hell was that Paige?”She blinks up at me, her lashes fluttering. “What was what?”“That.” My voice drops lower. “Laughing at his dry jokes, touching him, whi

    Paige.Through the tinted windows, I can already see the camera flashes , lights, movement. The entrance of the venue is glowing under golden chandeliers, a long carpet rolled out toward the steps like something straight out of a movie.“This is ridiculous,” I murmur under my breath before I can stop myself.“It’s just a gathering,” he says calmly.I turn to look at him.“There are photographers everywhere,” I reply.“There are always photographers.”Of course there are.The car comes to a smooth stop. Before I can process another thought, Dante steps out first. The night air rushes in, cool against my skin. A split second later, he is standing outside my door, offering his hand to me. I place my hand in his.And the moment I step out of the car, everything explodes, the multiple voices, flashes. “Dante! Over here!”“Sir, is this your wife?”“Can we get a picture together?”The attention is immediate and overwhelming and for half a second, I freeze, then I feel it.His hand tightenin

    Dante The night nurse arrived exactly on schedule just as stated. I didn’t think I was going to even like her, but she got my attention immediately, she was professional but still warm and I knew Paige would like her. And yet, I have not stopped thinking about the way Paige looked at me when I told her we had a party to attend and we were going to leave Kyla with a night nurse.She didn’t say everything she was thinking, but I could see it in her eyes. The questions, the resistance, the quiet defiance she tries so hard to mask behind composure.She thinks this is about control and appearances, about maintaining my public image. A soft click from the bedroom door pulls me out of my thoughts and then she steps out.For a moment, I forget how to breathe completely.My mind goes blank in a way that is both inconvenient and deeply inconvenient.She is stunning abd and that word is insufficient.The dress fits her like it was made specifically for her, she looks elegant, refined, sophist
