INICIAR SESIÓNAnastasia Reed is two people. By day she runs Reed & Associates by night she is someone Monaco gets to keep. When a masked man at Obsidian turns into the most consuming night of her life she leaves before sunrise and tells herself that is the end of it. Two months later Nikolai Stavros walks into her office without knocking, the merger her father begged his grandfather forces them together but her sister's theft puts her in his house for six months in a contract Anastasia signs it because she has no other option and because she is very good at surviving arrangements that were never made in her favor. What she is not good at is Nikolai himself, his dominance, his patience and the way he chooses her when he did not have to. When she discovers she is pregnant and leaves before the contract ends she tells herself she is protecting herself but Anastasia soon understands that the most dangerous thing about Nikolai Stavros was never his control, it was that he was the first person who made her want to stay.
Ver másANASTASIA’s POVOh…You’ve got to be fucking kidding me!Was he serious? Like…actually serious? Or had he somehow lost a screw?I let out a forced chuckle. ‘’Tell me you’re joking.’’ I snapped, my judgemental gaze trailed on him. But his face remained the same with no amount of a smile or mockery in his voice.‘’No!’’ I declined immediately, my word final.Brief silence engulfed us for a while until he opened his mouth. ‘’About your grandmother…isn’t she badly in need of top tier medical assistance?’’My blood ran cold.Was he threatening me?‘’I would never threaten you with your grandmother, Anastasia.’’ He said as if knowing exactly what was in my mind.But the worst part was the way my body reacted when my name rolled off his tongue.‘’But I can threaten you with this video. You stole from me, not the other way around.’’ My hand tightened into fist and I started to curse Bianca with everything In me. If she hadn’t been such a conniving bitch, then I wouldn’t have to be in this p
ANASTASIA’s POV2 MONTHS LATER, NOTTING HILL, LONDON. ‘’Oh cut the bullshit, Bianca!’’ I screamed over the phone, my hand hovering over the lit screen in front of me.I was in my office, battling the worst headache ever after a board room clash and the Bianca was the least of my worries.It was Danm near the nth time she had crashed my apartment because she couldn’t afford to get her own place.‘’I’m just gonna move out!’’ She shouted back, hanging up the phone before I could even retort.Move out?I’d heard that flimsy excuse slip off her lips a hundred times in 3 months.She was barely even living in. Only crashing once in a while and ruining everything that made my house a home.I hit my phone on the desk with a loud thud, massaging my forehead as I could already feel an headache coming.The sound of my office door pushing open without a knock reverbarated in the air as the door was pushed with enough force to have the hinges ripping off.‘’What the—‘’My words hung in my throat
‘’Strip!’’That command would forever be etched in my memory.The moment I breathed out those insane words about him fucking me, I regretted it instantly.He was swift.His hand gripped my legs and he pulled me close, wrapping my legs around his torso.He hoisted me up, carring me out of the club like I weighed nothing while I wrapped my hands around his neck and pulled him close, slamming my lips against his.The kiss was gentle at first, our lips moving slowly like we were both savoring the moment. Then it got faster as my back slammed against the side of a car, the cold metal mixing with the hotness of my skin.We were basically devouring each other, his hand gripping the base of my neck as he inserted his tongue in my mouth, kissing me till we were out of breath.He slowly unwrapped my legs and broke the kiss, his eyes piercing into mine with a needy hunger that wasn’t one sided.My chest rose and fell as I struggled for breath, my legs trembling as pain of arousal shot up my thi
ANASTASIA’s POVThe instructions I’d given myself were simple. Fly to Monaco, secure the contract with the foreign investors, and head back to London proving once again why I was the undisputed head of Reeds and associates. Rivals didn’t line up around the block trying to ruin me just because I was lucky, they did it because I never lost a deal. And nowhere in that flawless strategy did it say I should be standing almost half naked in the crowded strip club, swaying my hips to the music while gulping down two glasses of mixed alcoholic drinks in one go. ‘’Danm, Lyra.’’ Someone muttered behind me and I turned, a wide smile breaking across my lips.‘’Jean-Paul.’’ I shouted, my voice getting drowned out by the sound of the music.He stretched out his hand and I placed mine in his, letting him drag me to the backstage of the club, the music died down as the door closed behind us.‘’I’m glad you graced us with your presence again today.’’ He muttered, an excited glint laced in his eyes
