LOGINASHER I wanted to devour her. To take her apart piece by piece and still want more when I was done. “Heaven,” I muttered against her lips, my voice rough as my mouth moved over hers again. My tongue chased hers, slow at first, then deeper, tasting, learning, claiming every inch like I had no in
ASHER I’m coming from my office, already running a few minutes late, heading to get my wife before we leave for the ball. I don’t want us to arrive late... not tonight. But the moment I step into the foyer, I stop. My posture straightens instantly as my eyes lift and follow the length of the stai
ARIELLA Today was the day. Leon and his dad had gone on their usual run and now they had upgraded it to something more intense. And I had to admit… Leon was changing. He looked sharper these days, Stronger and Taller. There was something about him now that made him seem older than he really was.
ARIELLA I frowned and His voice softened. “It's kids' stuff and Leon will forget about it in a few days.” "Okay but...." I tried to get out. But then he kissed me. Hard. And for a moment… I let myself forget too. I kissed him back. He kisses me like he’s been starving and I’m the only thing th

"You're right. I used you..." I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. Knowing that he couldn't see me, but I had to do this. "I mean, who... who wouldn't? You are the Don's sun. You're going to be the next heir. You have everything. My family comes from nothing. And I knew that having your attent
I go back into Dad’s office. Head straight for the safe. I kneel down, press the familiar numbers, and it clicks open. Same passcode. Same stacks. Still there. Not enough for four people.
