The way Alex stood in her doorway made Lena's pulse thrum low in her belly. She wanted to reach out, yank that tie loose, and drag his mouth to hers until he forgot whatever had him looking like he wanted to burn the world down.

But she couldn't, not with Sam still here, his presence a goddamn cockblock.

"Not at all. You came just in time. Sam and I just finished."

"Finished what?"

Lena let her fingers toy with the corner of her towel, tugging it down just enough to reveal fresh skin. "What does it look like, Alexi?"

Sam appeared beside her then, fully dressed now. He cleared his throat. "Uh, thanks for tonight, Lena. I'll get going."

"Not yet, handsome. You have to help me with my wounds." She smiled, licking her lips. "It's in a tricky spot."

"Leave." Alex interrupted, stepping inside and shouldering past Sam with a death glare that could have melted steel.

"Right. See you at work, Lena." Sam hurried out.

The sound of the door shutting echoed through her apartment. Alex stoo

    "Fuck no," Lena repeated, scrambling backward off the bed, wiping his cum from her face with the back of her hand. "You think I'm going to be your exclusive little plaything for sixty days?"Alex sat up, confused. "That's not it.""That's exactly what you're saying!" She grabbed her clothes from the floor. "Sixty days of me being only yours, and then what? You disappear to another country and I'm supposed to just accept that? It's always about control with you!" She pulled on her skirt angrily, not caring that his release was still drying on her skin.His jaw tightened. "I fired you for a good reason—""And I'm supposed to thank you for making choices for me without even telling me?"Cold silence settled between them."You know, sometimes you need other people's help in seeing what you truly need, what's good and what's bad for you. Just like Zentharis.""Alex." Her voice went deadly quiet. "What did you do to Zentharis?"He looked away. "I bought it.""You what?""I bought it to prot

    "What do you mean by that?" Lena raged on the phone at Glinda, Zen's director. "Exactly what you saw in the email. You know the rule, babes." "Yes I do, and I didn't break any." "Stop lying, Lena. An exclusive member said you secretly contacted him and offered your body in exchange for money. First you used private records of members, making Zen look like we don't respect privacy, then you broke the no monetary exchange rule. I don't want to see you there again." She hung up before Lena could argue. Lena knew she hadn't broken any rules. She'd never met with any VIP outside Zen premises. Was Theo behind this? She ran her hand through her hair, feeling burned out already. She took a deep breath, preparing for the confrontation she was about to have today. Then she marched into headquarters. At the top floor, Megan tried to stop her from entering Alex's office. Even though Megan was older, Lena was stronger, and she pushed her aside without apology. Alex's office was empty. No j

  • Best Friends' Reckless Cravings    6. Bad Time?

    Alex's mind was stuck on a loop of images he couldn't shake, even as he flipped pancakes. That naked body pressing against him, those fingers tracing his cock through his pants. The memory burned through him, making his hand jerk and splatter batter across the counter. "Careful, babe," Nancy called from the kitchen island where she was reading something. "You're making a mess." Alex grunted in response, barely registering her words. All he could see was Lena's perfect ass arched toward him. Her voice echoed in his head: "Fuck you, Alex. I'm gonna make you regret this." Would he regret it? He already did. But which part, touching her or stopping himself? Warm arms slipped around his waist, startling him back to reality. Nancy pressed her cheek against his back, her sweet voice wrapping around him. "You seem a million miles away this morning. Everything okay?" Alex turned with the spatula in hand, facing her concerned green eyes. Beautiful, sweet Nancy with her soft blonde waves an

  • Best Friends' Reckless Cravings    5. Break Him

    The door slammed shut behind them, swallowing the noise of the club, the music, the world. Lena had dragged Alex into a small private room, the air thick with jasmine and sweat and his intoxicating cologne, making her head spin as she pressed her back against the door, pulse roaring in her ears. Alex's chest heaved, his eyes blazed with shock, fury, and hunger in equal measure. The same hunger that had burned in his gaze when he'd lied to her, when he'd told her his arousal was for Nancy. Lena should have turned away, should have bolted the second she'd seen him standing there frozen in the crowd. But she didn't. Because this was the moment she'd fantasized about for years. The moment he would finally see her, the real her she'd buried under friendship and laughter and late-night gaming sessions. The her she only ever let loose in the dark, with strangers who didn't matter. And now he knew. Her fingers trembled as she reached for the mask still dangling from her hand, letting it

  • Best Friends' Reckless Cravings    4. His Lena

    The corridor opened into a vast space that made Alex's pulse kick up. Dimly lit, the air thick with sandalwood, leather, and the unmistakable musk of arousal. His guide's fingers curled around his wrist, pulling him forward as his eyes adjusted. The scene unfolded before him like something from a fever dream. A woman was sprawled across a velvet chaise, her wrists bound above her head with silk ropes, her back arched as another woman—masked in black lace—traced a feather along the inside of her thigh. The bound woman gasped, her hips jerking upward, begging for more. Nearby, a man knelt between a woman’s legs, his tongue working in slow strokes while onlookers murmured approval. Another couple was pressed against a mirrored wall, the man’s hand fisted in the woman’s hair as she moaned, her fingers digging into his shoulders. He swallowed hard. His cock twitched from the sheer rawness of it all. "My God," Alex breathed. The woman beside him chuckled, her thumb brushing his knuckl
