Chapter Five

You’re Not Supposed to Want Me Like This

Arielle’s POV

I woke up alone in Dmitri’s bed.

The sheets were still warm, his scent everywhere—wood smoke and lust and something darker I couldn’t name.

I stretched, the soreness between my thighs making me smile, my fingers brushing the velvet choker still snug at my throat.

Daddy’s girl.

His.

I got up, wrapped myself in his white button-down, and padded barefoot into the hallway. The house was quiet.

Too quiet.

His office door was cracked. I peeked through.

He was on the phone, shirtless, pacing the room like a caged animal. Muscles tense, jaw locked, one hand raking through his hair.

“Don’t fucking call me again,” he snapped. “No. I told you this ended years ago.”

I froze.

His voice dropped, harsh and guttural. “If you so much as breathe her name, I will bury you.”

Then he hung up and hurled the phone across the room. The crash made me flinch.

I took a step back—but it was too late. He turned and his eyes locked on mine. I’d ne

    Chapter FourTastes Like ObsessionArielle’s POVI wore red lipstick to see what he’d do.Dmitri had been silent all morning. No texts, no demanding calls, no “come here now” or “what the fuck are you wearing.”He was testing my patience with this distance and I hated it. So I wore a barely-there black dress, no panties, and the lipstick he hated. I drove to his office unannounced.The receptionist tried to stop me but I smiled sweetly and ignored her.His door was cracked open when I walked in. He stood at the window, back turned, suit jacket slung over the chair.“Close the door,” he said.I did.Then I locked it.His voice dropped a note lower. “What are you doing here?”“I missed you.”He turned slowly. His eyes dropped to my mouth then lower. The hem of my dress barely brushed the tops of my thighs.He stared.“You wore that to get my attention.”“I wore it because I don’t like being ignored.”His jaw clenched. “You’re playing a game you don’t understand.”I stepped forward. “Th

    Chapter ThreeMine in Every WayDmitri’s POVI woke up with her curled against me, bare skin pressed to mine, her head on my chest like she’d always belonged there.She breathed slowly, lips parted, thighs still marked with the red indentations my fingers had left. She hadn’t protested once, not even when I bent her over the desk a second time last night and made her scream through another orgasm.Arielle. My ward. My problem.My fucking undoing.I stared at the ceiling, trying to rationalize what we’d done. But the more I thought about it, the less I cared. My cock stirred again just remembering the way she looked—dripping, eager, mouth filthy with need. I’d never had a woman like that.And I’d never let anyone else touch her now.She stirred. Her hand slid across my chest, down to my stomach.“Morning,” she murmured, voice husky with sleep.“You should be in your own room.”She lifted her head, eyes narrowing. “You want me to leave?”I didn’t answer.Because if I said yes, I’d be ly

    Chapter TwoLines Meant to Be CrossedThe kitchen was still warm from his body.Even after Dmitri left me standing there, trembling and soaked through, the echo of his voice, the threat in it, the promise—clung to my skin like sweat. I should’ve gone back to my room. But instead, I stood there in the silk shorts and tank top, gripping the edge of the counter, replaying every word he said.You think I haven’t pictured bending you over this fucking counter?My fingers clenched tighter.I knew I was playing with fire. That he had more control than any man I’d ever met. That the cold edge in him didn’t crack easily.But I also knew desire. I’d tasted it in his breath and I’d seen it flash in his eyes before he pulled away. He was holding back because he thought he had to. Because I was still, technically, under his guardianship.One more month. Just one.But I wasn’t going to wait.I wasn’t some wide-eyed girl anymore. I was twenty. I was tired of pretending. I knew what I wanted. I wante

    Chapter One I hated how much I wanted him.Even before I stepped through the door of the Volkov estate, I could already feel it — that tightness in my stomach, the electric buzz under my skin, the furious pounding of my pulse. Not from nerves. No. From heat. From the ache I hadn’t been able to scratch in two long years away.My suitcase thudded against the marble floor of the entryway. Familiar smells curled up around me — leather, oak, expensive scotch — and the tension that lived inside this house for as long as I could remember. Tension, because he was here.Dmitri Volkov.My legal guardian. My father’s best friend. The man who took over the estate when my father died and I was still too young to do anything about it. The man who never looked at me for too long, never hugged me, never said my name like it meant anything. But still haunted every single fucking wet dream I’d had since I turned sixteen.He wasn’t in the foyer. Of course not. That would be too easy.I wheeled my bag t

    Chapter NineThe Fire and the FallHe kissed me like it was the last time.That’s how it started.No pretense. No warm-up. Just his mouth on mine—desperate, all-consuming, like the truth behind it was too big to breathe.And maybe it was.Because when we broke apart, the air crackled with the weight of what was coming.“I told her,” Damon said.I blinked. “Told who?”“Lila.”The blood drained from my face.“You what?”He ran a hand down his face. “I couldn’t keep lying. She asked. I told her.”My knees went weak.“What did she say?”He looked at me.And that look told me everything.“Oh my god,” I whispered. “She hates me.”“She’s angry,” he admitted. “But it’s not just that.”“She feels betrayed,” I said, throat tight. “Because I was her best friend.”“You still are,” he said sharply. “This doesn’t erase what you meant to her. Or what she meant to you.”“You don’t know that.”“I do.”I pulle
