Brayden watched Penelope across the dinner table, his gaze sharp, assessing. The soft glow of the chandelier overhead cast warm light over her features, highlighting the exhaustion she tried to hide beneath a small, practiced smile. She had been quieter than usual tonight, pushing the food around her plate more than actually eating. It didn’t sit well with him.He set down his fork, leaning back in his chair as he studied her. “Penelope,” he said suddenly, his voice cutting through the comfortable silence between them. “Did your employer really bully you?”She stiffened, her hand pausing mid-motion as she reached for her glass of water. Her lashes fluttered briefly before she lifted her gaze to meet his. There was no point in lying, not to him. He was too perceptive. Too sharp.She nodded. “Yes.”Brayden’s jaw tightened, his fingers curling into a fist on the table. “And you let them?”Her throat went dry at the restrained anger in his to

Penelope stirred slightly, a soft hum escaping her lips as the warmth of the morning sun kissed her skin. She felt an unfamiliar sense of peace wrap around her like a cocoon, the scent of something rich and masculine filling her senses. The steady rise and fall of a chest beneath her cheek, the gentle rhythm of a heartbeat close to her ear—everything felt different, yet strangely perfect.Her lips curled into a smile even before she opened her eyes. The events of the previous night lingered in her mind, a series of blurred yet vivid moments—Brayden’s touch, his lips, the way he had claimed her, possessed her, held her like she was the most precious thing in the world. It felt surreal, like a dream she never wanted to wake up from.She nestled closer, inhaling deeply, letting the warmth of his body seep into hers. Brayden stirred beneath her, his strong arms instinctively tightening around her waist as if he had no intention of letting her go.A d

Brayden’s fingers curled firmly around Penelope’s wrist, his grip possessive yet not forceful, as his deep, piercing gaze held hers in place. The air between them pulsed with something unspoken, something electric. His voice was low, husky, almost a growl. “You’re not leaving my side tonight.”Penelope’s breath hitched, her heart slamming against her ribcage as if trying to break free. Every part of her was aware of his nearness, of the way his breath fanned over her skin, sending shivers down her spine. There was something in the way he looked at her—as if he was making a vow, as if he was claiming her.A war waged inside her. She should step back, she should say something, anything, but all she could do was stand there, trapped in his presence, caught in the storm of emotions swirling in his darkened eyes. He was so close that she could see the golden flecks in his irises, see the way his jaw clenched with restraint.Her lips parted, but words

He tossed her into the passenger seat, his movements swift and controlled, but there was a raw intensity in his grip that sent a shiver down Penelope’s spine. The door slammed shut beside her, and she blinked against the sudden darkness inside the car. Her vision was a little blurry, her head swimming from all the alcohol she had consumed, but even through her hazy state, she could feel the weight of Brayden’s gaze on her.A drunken giggle slipped past her lips as she reached for the door handle, her fingers fumbling clumsily. “I should— I should get out,” she murmured, her voice slurred but laced with amusement. “I was having so much fun inside.”But before her fingers could close around the handle, a strong, warm hand wrapped around her wrist, halting her movements. Brayden was already beside her, his jaw clenched tightly, his grip firm but not painful. His touch sent an unexpected jolt through her, sobering her up just slightly.“You’re not going a

Brayden’s car screeched to a halt just outside the bar, the tires skidding slightly against the pavement as he threw the gear into park. His hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles white with the force of his anger and concern. The pounding music from inside vibrated through the air, the heavy bass making the ground beneath him feel alive, but all he could focus on was one thing—Penelope.Without wasting another second, he shoved the door open and stepped out, his sharp eyes scanning the crowd that lingered outside the entrance. Some were chatting, laughing loudly, leaning against the walls with drinks in their hands, but none of them mattered to him. He moved forward, pushing past a group of people, his gaze cutting through the dim lighting and flashing neon signs as he searched for her.Then he saw her.His body tensed immediately, a mixture of frustration and something else—something dangerously close to jealousy—clawing at his insid
