Then he was gone.

I stood there holding his card.

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 404

    Her hands moved from my shoulders to my face, her palms cupping my jaw, her thumbs stroking my cheeks. It was a gesture of such unexpected tenderness it nearly undid me. Her eyes, dark and dazed, locked onto mine. In them, I saw not the woman I had wronged, but the woman I was with, in this moment,

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 403

    Her hand anchored hard against the back of my head, fingers tangling in my hair, holding me exactly where she needed me. For a moment, I wasn't the man who had failed her. I was just a man giving her pleasure. She said my name once, twice, the third time broken completely, and her whole body arched

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 402

    Edward's POV Her mouth was on mine when I got the door open. I walked her backward into the room, the city lights filtering through the window in thin strips that barely illuminated the space. Her hands were already at my collar, working open the buttons of my shirt with an urgency that sent a jol

    Alicia's POV The restaurant Edmund had not arranged. Edward had seen it from the car on the second day and remembered it. No assistant. No agenda attached to the table. We walked there. He asked about Lily before we reached the first corner. "Is she still seeing the cardiologist every three mon

    I ordered wine. The work wasn't finished. The room was quieter. She took the glass without comment. Drank. Set it down and kept writing. She spoke about the eastern corridor communities directly, without framing or adjustment, as if they existed in the room with us. Her hand moved as she talked, m

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 399

    Edward's POV The door opened behind me. No knock. She came in already talking. "I need your numbers from Rotterdam before we fix anything else," she said. "The version you gave him assumes—" She stopped. I didn't turn immediately. Just reached for the towel, dragged it once over my face, then

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 318

    Alicia's POV I was late. Twelve minutes, according to my watch when I stepped off the elevator on sixty-four. The quarterly review had started at noon. It was twelve-twelve. I walked quickly, heels striking tile in a rhythm that felt too loud for the hush of the hallway, the kind that means ever

    "Marketing's request is inflated," he said. "The ROI projections rely on best-case assumptions that won't hold this quarter. The operations upgrades are necessary, but the proposed timeline is unrealistic." His voice was controlled. Impeccably controlled. The kind of control that is a performance i

    I looked at her. She looked at me. "Because it was," I said. She held my gaze. "You don't know that." "Yes I do," I said. "And so do you." She looked away. Her thumb brushing my ribs. Once. The small, unconscious motion she had kept doing, and I had noticed every single time. "Not ready," she

    Her hands. Both of them. One at my arm, one flat against my chest. "I have you." The voice from the road. Low. Certain. "Stay still." "I'm not—" "Couch." She moved me the way she'd moved me in that hospital room. Knowing where the sling was. Knowing the ribs. Not being told once. And I let her,
