Above, the kitchen was again shrouded in cozy silence. Wendy was sitting on the window seat, an unused crossword crumpled up in her lap as she watched the two men return. Leila Auburn, Sabrina's mother, had folded a dish towel with every bit as much precision as if she'd spent years at research school. Eliana braced against the table, elbow planted on the Formica, chin propped against her fist, eyes illuminating the instant Damian came into view.Her gaze locked with his. And for an instant, the room vanished again.Eliana got up, walking over to stand at his side. "You passed.""Barely," he teased, reaching out to take her hand instinctively.Sabrina, who had been blotting her hands with a print towel, looked over and raised an eyebrow. "Did he pass the test?"Saben collapsed into a chair. "He didn't blink. That in itself is deserving of a standing ovation."Wendy snorted but smiled behind her teeth. "We'll see how macho he is when I ask him about his credit rating.""Grandma," Sabri

The sun came up in the morning and shone through the filmy kitchen curtains of the Thompson home, heating the room. The scent of hot coffee mingled with the smell of bacon cooking and the maple syrup sweetness. The tinkle of utensils and soft murmur of family chatter filled the kitchen.Eliana was seated in the table chair, her hand hidden beneath Damian Wolfe's under the blanket. Their union was a peaceful anchor amidst the family storm. Damian sported his signature tight black pants and dark collared shirt, his very stance emitting the serene bodyguard. The slight sheen of fear on his forehead, however, masked the storm within his mind. Damian had experienced a few bodyguard dilemmas, but coping with Eliana's family was uncharted ground.Sabrina, Eliana's mom, was standing at the stove, flipping pancakes with ease. Her gaze, however, was focused on the interaction between her daughter and Damian."So, Damian," she began, her tone airy but inquiring, "how long have you two been datin

INT. THOMPSON FAMILY MANSION – LIVING ROOM – LATE AFTERNOONThere was a tension in the air that was as thick as a knife could cut.Eliana rigidly sat on the couch edge, legs crossed, hands clasped on her lap as if to hold back a flood. Across from her, Benedict Thompson, her father—who was still immaculately dressed in his clean navy suit even at home—walked steadily, arms crossed over his chest. His face was unyielding, but his silence was cacophony.Near the fire, Saben Thompson, her older brother, leaned against the mantel, but his eyes were sharp, fixed on Eliana like a cop waiting for a confession."I said," Saben repeated, "he's coming here? Tonight?"Eliana's throat bobbed. "Yes."Her father finally turned to her. "What does he want, Eliana?""To talk," she said, her voice small. "To tell me why he did what he did and to get to know you.""Oh really? Hmm, let me see him tomorrow."The next day, the crunch of tires on gravel in the driveway made all three stop.Eliana's eyes mov

“Then stay,” she whispered. “Right here. With me.”He pressed his lips to her temple, his arms wrapped around her like a promise only they could understand.“Promise me something,” he said.“Anything.”“That you’ll fight for us,” he murmured. “Even when I’m too afraid to.”She lifted her head and kissed him softly. Her lips trembled against his, but her voice was steady. “Always.”They stood there, wrapped in each other, as if the rest of the world no longer mattered. Every glance they’d stolen. Every hand brushed in passing. Every near-confession. All of it had led to this moment.“You’re not just my weakness,” he said quietly. “You’re my reason.”Her eyes scanned his, alight with assurance. "Then let's eliminate the illusion that this is a mistake. This is destiny."In perfect timing, light spilled from the estate behind them. Veranda doors groaned open, and voices drifted out into the night. The magic of the garden shook, threatened by the invasion of reality.Damian bristled."If

The estate garden glowed in the soft light of moonbeams, the scent of unfolding jasmine drifting around like a forbidden tale yet to unfold. Lanterns breathed softly with every gasp, their fluttering patterns against the courtyard wall like falling leaves. Eliana walked barefoot now, her heels left at the garden door. Her blue-black dress stuck to her body like moisture, leaving a splash of spilled ink behind.She had caught sight of him before he left—Damian—by the fountain, his demeanor as stiff as ever, his profile unrecognizable. Braced broad shoulders, crossed arms tight over his chest. The moon etched light onto the leaves' sharp ridges. He turned as if he had anticipated her."Eliana," he breathed, a sigh lost amidst the crinkling leaves.She smiled gently, tilting her head. 'Couldn't sleep?His eyes searched hers, never quite settling. “Habit,” he replied. “Always alert.”She took a few steps forward. “Even now? With all the guests gone? The gala’s over. There’s nothing left t

She'd have to choose the one she'd ignite with.The ballroom swirled around her like a storm that inched closer—silk and jewels, laughter laced with insidious poison, clinks of champagne glasses hiding secrets deep. But Eliana stood still amidst it all, her heart a riotous silence.Damian disappeared, likely summoned by one of the quiet earpiece murmurs of security. Nathaniel, out in the ballroom, was surrounded by a sea of legacy CEOs and socialites pretending not to dissect every glance she'd given him tonight.She toyed with the rim of her glass, barely tasting the champagne. That line—She'd have to choose the one she'd burn with—kept circling in her mind like smoke without flame."Eliana?"She blinked awake. Her mother.Sabrina towered over her, as regal as ever, eyes narrowed under the party smile. "Are you okay?"Eliana nodded gently. "Just needed a minute."Sabrina leaned in beside her, the mother in her breaking through the mogul. "You stood in that dress like armor.""I requi

Her fingers stroked the material. "Okay," she breathed.The boutique manager came back once more, and Eliana smiled, her voice more even now. "We'll take this one.""Good choice, Miss Thompson." The manager clicked her fingers together, obviously delighted. "We'll have it steamed and wrapped up to deliver this evening, or would you like to take it with you?"He rested against the door of the fitting room, arms crossed, suit perfect, tie razor-sharp—but jaw clenched, eyes contained, tracking her each movement in the mirror."You're staring," she said without raising her gaze."You knew you would."Eliana swung around reluctantly, glancing at him.The way he regarded her—it wasn't admiration. It was possession, and something in his eyes that bordered on restraint."Well?" she breathed. "Too much?"His gaze dropped to the V of the neckline, black, and up to her face."It's perfect," he said softly. "Perilously perfect."A silence. The whir of the boutique died under weight of air between

There was silence. Alexa was always too professional ever to say anything that wasn't absolutely imperative, but Eliana could almost feel the twitch of interest in the static."Oh, of course, ma'am. I'll alert Mr. Wolfe right away."The intercom clicked off.Eliana slowly breathing out through her nose, her fingers running along the top of the desk as if signing the lines of her own doubt.Why does the ring of his name feel like pulling on wire that had twisted hard against her ribcage?Damian Wolfe. Her shadow. Her bodyguard. The man whose lips whispered softly, and whose eyes whispered too loudly, leaving her quivering.It was not right—the way he gazed at her. The way he avoided gazing at her when he should have.As Nathaniel had been comfortable with the old version of her… Damian was comfortable with the woman she wasn't yet. With the one with burning rage, fear, and smoldering lust all twisted up in one.She sat back from her computer screen, attempting to escape in work, but he

She did not scroll to the top of her phone contact list. She did not have to. Damian Wolfe was the first on everyone else's list—just like Nathaniel Carter was. Two names. Two men. One choice she'd never been able to make.Until today.Her thumb was still hovering, her breathing even.One telephone call changed the direction of her life.Before she could get cold feet, she heard footsteps—heavy, slow, familiar.She turned.Damian stood in the doorway to her office.And something about the way he was looking at her—as if she were his shelter and his tempest—stole her breath."Eliana," he said softly. "I'm not going to press you. I swear. I just. I needed to confirm that you were okay.""I am not," Eliana said softly. "But I will be."He bobbed his head. "Good. Because I've watched you shatter and remade myself. I understand how strong you can be once you finally begin not to attempt to flee from yourself."There was something primal in his gaze, something smothered yet deeply well-wrou
