Rhaena's POV

I turned away from the mirror and went back into the bedroom, pulling back the covers on the large four-poster bed. The sheets were soft and cool against my skin when I slipped between them. The mattress was incredibly comfortable, the pillows were perfect, everything about this bed should have made me fall asleep immediately.

But as I lay there in the dark, staring up at the ceiling where shadows from the moonlight danced and shifted,

  • CRAVING THE WRONG MAN: DANGEROUS DESIRES BOOK 1    CHAPTER 172

    Alessio's POVHe was the only one with a reason this ugly. He had come to her office. He had come to her door. He had looked at her like she still belonged to him. I had put him against a wall and thought fear would be enough. I had talked about a restraining order and then I had taken her home and told myself we had time.We did not have time.“Call the police,” I said. “Now. Tell them it is a kidnapping. Tell them I have footage. Her name is Rhaena. She works on the fourteenth floor. That is her car. That is her bag. That is her phone.”The guard was already reaching for his desk phone, voice shaking as he asked for emergency.I stepped away and called the police myself too. I did not want one call to get lost in another.“My name is Alessio Ravelli,” I said when they answered. “A woman has been taken from the underground garage at Ravelli Corp. Her name is Rhaena. I have security footage. I found her phone and her bag on the floor. I believe the man is her ex. His name is Jake. He

  • CRAVING THE WRONG MAN: DANGEROUS DESIRES BOOK 1   CHAPTER 171

    Alessio's POVI finished the meeting with Santos Worldwide at almost nine. My head was still full of numbers and timelines, but none of it mattered the way it used to. All morning, under every sentence I said, I kept seeing Rhaena’s face from last night. The way she froze when I told her I loved her. The way she held on anyway. The way she kissed my chest after and did not run.She was the most important person in my life. I did not know how I had been surviving without her. I only knew I did not want to go back to that.I pulled out my phone in the hallway and texted her.Are you in yet? Meeting just ended. I want to see you.I stared at the screen longer than I should have. No reply.That was strange. She should have been awake by now. She was never late without saying something. Even on bad days she sent a short message. Traffic. Coffee. Give me ten minutes.I told myself she was in the elevator. Or in the bathroom.I walked to her office and knocked.No answer.I knocked again, th

  • CRAVING THE WRONG MAN: DANGEROUS DESIRES BOOK 1   CHAPTER 170

    Rhaena's POVSlow. Unhurried. Like whoever it was had all the time in the world.The door opened.Jake walked in.For a second I could not even feel surprise. Only a sick, sinking certainty. Of course it was him. Of course the man who would not leave, who would not take no, who had shown up at my office and at my door, had decided no was not an answer he had to accept.He looked worse than he had the night he came to my apartment. Thinner. Meaner. His eyes were bloodshot and bright with something ugly.“There she is,” he said. “Sleeping beauty.”I stared at him, breathing hard through my nose. He walked closer and crouched in front of the chair so I had no choice but to look at him.“You should have let me in that night,” he said quietly. “We could have talked like adults. Instead you hid behind your stepbrother like a little girl.”I made a sound behind the gag. He smiled, but there was no humor in it.“Don’t bother. I already know what you’d say. That we’re done. That I should leave

  • CRAVING THE WRONG MAN: DANGEROUS DESIRES BOOK 1   CHAPTER 169

    Rhaena's POVI drove to work the next day with a smile on my face. I could not help it. Last night had been perfect. Alessio had made love to me. Slow and sweet, like he was trying to show me something with his body that words could not say enough. And then he had said it anyway. He told me he loved me.It still felt unreal, even this morning. Like maybe I had dreamed it.He had left before I woke up. He had an early meeting, something about the European project that could not wait. But he left me a note on the pillow, his handwriting neat and slanted.Good morning, baby. Had to run to an early meeting. Didn't want to wake you, you looked too peaceful. I'll see you at the office. I love you.I read it three times before I even got out of bed. Then I folded it carefully and put it in the drawer of my nightstand, like it was something precious. Which it was.I got ready for work with that same silly smile still on my face. I could not stop thinking about last night. About the way he had

  • CRAVING THE WRONG MAN: DANGEROUS DESIRES BOOK 1    CHAPTER 168

    Rhaena's POVTears slipped from the corners of my eyes into my hair. He kissed them away without slowing the deep roll of his hips.Then his hand slid between us. His thumb found my clit and began to rub slow, firm circles while he fucked me harder. The change in rhythm dragged a broken sound from my throat. Pleasure and emotion tangled together until I could barely tell them apart.“Daddy—”“I’ve got you,” he said, voice low against my skin. “Let go for me, spitfire. I’ve got you.”The dual sensation of his cock filling me and his thumb working my clit pushed me higher and higher. I clung to him, gasping his name, then the title, then both at once. Just when I thought I would come apart beneath him, something in me shifted. I needed to see his face. I needed to be the one moving.I pushed at his shoulders. He let me. A surprised, warm chuckle left him as I rolled us so he was on his back and I was straddling his hips.“Look at you,” he said, eyes dark with affection and heat. “Taking

  • CRAVING THE WRONG MAN: DANGEROUS DESIRES BOOK 1   CHAPTER 167

    Rhaena's POVI wanted him inside me so badly my hands were already moving. I reached between us and unbuttoned his pants with impatient fingers, shoving the fabric down just enough to free him. His cock sprang out thick and hard, flushed dark, already leaking at the tip. I wrapped my hand around him and stroked once, slow, from base to head. He groaned low in his chest, the sound almost pained.“Rhaena—”I looked into his eyes. They were dark and unguarded in a way I hadn’t seen all night.“Fuck me,” I whispered. “Please, Daddy. I need you inside me.”Something raw flickered across his face. He didn’t make me wait. He lined himself up and pushed into me slowly, inch by careful inch, letting me feel every thick ridge stretch me open. When he finally bottomed out, buried so deep I could feel him everywhere, he stilled.His forehead dropped against mine again. His voice came out rough and quiet, like the words had been living in his chest for a long time.“I love you.”I froze.The words
