Chapter Ten

Public Knowledge

I didn’t know he planned to do it.

Not until the auditorium doors locked behind me, and I realized everyone’s heads were turning in my direction.

And then I saw him.

Maddox.

On stage.

At the podium.

Wearing that perfectly tailored navy suit that made women whisper and men sit straighter.

My knees nearly gave out.

The auditorium was packed. Students, faculty, donors, even a few press figures in the back.

This was the year-end academic awards ceremony.

And I was standing dead center in the middle row wearing nothing under my black coat but lingerie and his signature around my neck in the form of a choker.

Maddox caught my eyes.

He smiled.

I shook my head slowly.

No. Not here.

He raised the mic.

And in that slow, sure voice of his, he said, “Before I begin tonight’s proceedings, there’s something I need to make public. Something I’m no longer ashamed of hiding.”

The murmurs began immediately.

Maddox paused—then walked down the steps of the stage towards me.

    PremiseI moved into my best friend’s beach house for the summer.Sun. Waves. Freedom.What I didn’t expect… was him.Her father. Divorced. Brooding. Muscular. Way too attractive for his own good.I should’ve looked away.But he saw through me. Touched me like he knew every secret I hadn’t told anyone.We knew it was wrong.But once he tasted me…He stopped caring.Chapter OneHis Eyes Lingered Too LongIf I had known he’d be that kind of man, I might’ve reconsidered the trip.But there I was, standing barefoot on the polished hardwood floors of the Carroway’s beach house, my suitcase by the door, and my best friend’s father staring at me like I’d grown a second mouth—or worse, like he already wanted to taste it.“Aria?” His voice was deep. Gravelly. Worn-in like the jeans he wore low on his hips. “You’ve grown up.”I hadn’t seen Damon Carroway in four years. I remembered him as the stern, slightly distant man who picked Lila up from school in a black Range Rover. Back then, he was st

    Chapter NineThe Flash DriveThe silence in my dorm was deafening.No texts from Maddox. No calls. Nothing but the cursed laptop glowing in the dark corner of the room. The place where this all started.I paced, barefoot, still in one of his shirts—worn soft from years of wear, smelling like sex and aftershave. The same shirt I’d fallen asleep in too many times to count now.But now it felt like armor.My phone sat in pieces on my desk. The cracked screen stared back at me, black and dead.I should’ve gone to class, pretended things were normal.I didn’t. I couldn’t.Not when Maddox was walking into whatever mind game Jace had waiting for him.And God help me… all I could think about was the video. Not the danger or the fallout—just the way Maddox had owned me in it. The way I’d begged, moaned and shattered. How good it felt to be destroyed under his hand.Even now… just the memory made me wet.Twisted? Maybe.But I was too far gone to care.My thoughts were still spiraling when the d

    Chapter EightSpread Wide for the WorldThe screen glowed cold in the darkness.One file. One click. One downfall.That was all it would take.I stared at the upload notice, that smug little caption taunting me: Professor Maddox’s forbidden pet. For sale soon.My stomach churned. My heart thundered.I didn’t wake Maddox. Not yet. He was asleep in the other room, his arms draped around me only hours ago, his cock still sticky between my thighs when we finally passed out.I sat in his T-shirt, nothing underneath, knees curled up in front of his laptop.Every second that passed felt like a countdown.Jace had uploaded us.The file was already sitting in a cloud storage folder—unlisted, anonymous, but out there. Just waiting to be shared, downloaded, exploited.And worse: I could see that one person had already accessed it.One.Which meant he wasn’t bluffing.He’d had a backup. He was smart. Slimy, but smart. Even if Maddox had knocked him unconscious, even if the laptop was here—it didn

    Chapter SevenThe Secret’s PriceHe stepped from the shadows like he belonged there.Leather jacket. Narrow, calculating eyes. Something smug behind the curl of his lips. Like he already knew too much.And in that moment, with my thighs still slick and sore from what Maddox had just done to me on the dean’s desk, my blood turned to ice.“I—” I swallowed. “I don’t know what you mean.”“You don’t?” He took a drag from his cigarette, then dropped it on the ground and crushed it with his boot. “That’s cute.”He stepped closer. My heart started to pound.“You smell like sex,” he said. “And your professor hasn’t exactly been subtle lately.”“Who are you?” I asked.He gave a low laugh. “Name’s Jace. I’m the campus security intern. Not on duty tonight, technically, but I like to keep an eye on things. Especially when faculty members sneak students into locked administrative offices at night.”I felt my knees wobble.“Relax,” he said. “I’m not a cop. I’m not even supposed to be here.”“Then wh

    Chapter SixThe Dean’s DeskThe dean was out of town.Professor Maddox knew it. I knew it.But still—walking into her office at night, keys in hand, lock turning behind me—I felt like the devil was dragging me toward something I’d never come back from.“Don’t hesitate now,” Maddox said, his voice low and sharp behind me.“This is what you wanted, isn’t it?”I swallowed.He stepped forward, locking the door behind us, his body close to mine, his heat searing into my skin even through my clothes.The dean’s office was pristine. Mahogany shelves. Certificates framed perfectly. A tall glass window overlooking the courtyard. A wide desk that screamed authority. Respect.He didn’t let me admire it for long.“Skirt off,” he said.I turned slowly. “Here?”“Right on her desk,” he said, stripping his blazer off. “You said you wanted to push boundaries. Well, this one’s carved in stone. And I want to break it with you spread wide.”My body flushed.I unzipped my skirt, letting it fall to the flo
