The car was quiet. Only the sound of the rain hitting the windshield filled the space between them.

Elena sat in the passenger seat, her arms crossed, staring out the window as the city lights blurred past.

“Let’s just go home,” she said suddenly, her voice tight. “I don’t want to go for dinner anymore.”

Raphael glanced at her, confused. “What? We’ve had that reservation for weeks. What’s going on with you lately?”

“Nothing,” Elena said quickly, almost too quickly. “I just want to go home. Please.”

He sighed and tightened his grip on the steering wheel. “Fine. Whatever you say.”

Neither of them spoke again until they pulled into the driveway.

Before the car had even stopped completely, Elena unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the door, and stepped out.

“I’ll see you inside,” Raphael said, but she didn’t respond. She just walked straight into the house, closing the door behind her.

Raphael sat there for a moment, watching the rain streak down the windshield. He ran a hand through his hair,

  • Dangerously Hers   Chapter 21

    Elena’s breath caught at the softness hidden in those words.She picked up her glass of wine and took a small sip, trying to calm her nerves.But Scarlett didn’t stop staring.Elena felt her shift in her seat, then rolled her eyes.“Stop it,” she muttered.Scarlett raised a brow. “Stop what?”“You’re staring at me,” Elena whispered.Scarlett smirked again. “Am I?”Elena felt her stomach flip.Trying to distract herself, she leaned forward. “Tell me more about yourself.”Scarlett rested her elbow on the table, her voice smooth.“You already know I own the club. I manage other businesses too.”Elena nodded—but her foot brushed something warm.Scarlett stiffened.Elena pretended she didn’t notice… and slid her foot lightly along Scarlett’s ankle.Scarlett coughed once.“Elena.”“Yes?” she whispered, her voice innocent but her touch anything but.“That is sweet of you,” Scarlett said slowly, voice tightening, “but don’t do that.”Elena’s foot moved higher, brushing Scarlett’s calf, then h

  • Dangerously Hers   The Queen invitation

    The next evening arrived faster than Elena expected.All day, she kept checking her phone, rereading Scarlett’s invitation from the night before.Scarlett:Dinner tomorrow night. 9 PM.Here’s the address.Dress however you like… but don’t hold back.The message was short. No emojis. No explanation.But it was enough to make Elena’s heart explode in her chest.She had stared at the screen for more than ten minutes before it truly sank in.Scarlett wanted to see her.Alone.Privately.At night.Not at a club. Not by accident.This was a date—Scarlett had invited her.The moment her brain accepted that reality, Elena jumped off her bed, screamed into her pillow, and spun around her room like someone who just got proposed to.“Yes! Finally!” she shouted, practically dancing.She covered her mouth, laughing at herself, then whispered dramatically to her reflection:“I’m going to seduce a mafia queen tonight.”She didn’t care if it was crazy.She didn’t care that she was engaged.She didn’t

  • Dangerously Hers   A Touch I Shouldn’t Want

    Elena hadn’t realized she was still holding Scarlett’s hand.It had happened without thought—her fingers slipping into Scarlett’s palm when she had finally managed to speak, when their eyes met and the world around them faded to nothing but the crash of waves and the unbearable tension between them. It wasn’t a romantic gesture on purpose—at least she told herself that—just instinct. A desperate need to hang on to something solid while her entire chest felt like it was collapsing inward.But Scarlett noticed.Of course she did.She always noticed everything.Her gaze drifted downward to their linked hands, then slowly rose again, landing on Elena’s face like a spotlight. Scarlett did not pull away—not instantly, not sharply—just let the moment stretch.Her thumb brushed the back of Elena’s hand. A slow, subtle stroke.Elena swore she forgot how to breathe.What am I doing?She wasn’t supposed to do this. She wasn’t supposed to feel this way. She was an engaged woman—Raphael’s fiancée.

  • Dangerously Hers   At the beach

    Elena and Clara had been staring at Scarlett for so long that they didn’t even realize how obvious they looked. The sun was bright on the beach, shining against Scarlett’s sunglasses, making her look even more striking as she stood near the shoreline.The moment Scarlett turned her head and caught them staring, both Elena and Clara snapped their eyes away in panic. Clara glanced back again a second later, unable to help herself—just in time to see Scarlett begin walking toward them.Clara’s fingers tightened instantly around Elena’s arm.“Elena… I think she’s coming here,” she whispered, her voice shaking with nerves. “I’m scared.”“Don’t be scared, Clara,” Elena murmured, though her own heartbeat was hammering hard enough to drown out the waves. Clara held onto her like she was bracing for impact, her nails digging lightly into Elena’s skin.With every step Scarlett took through the sand, Elena’s heart beat faster. The soft crunch of her footsteps mixed with the ocean breeze made the

    The next morning, a loud knock echoed from Elena’s door.Bang! Bang! Bang!“Ugh…” Elena groaned, rolling over in bed. Her hair was a mess, her eyes half open. She squinted at the clock on the bedside table. “Oh, shit!”The knocking didn’t stop.“Elena!” Clara’s voice sang from outside. “Wake up!”“I’m coming!” Elena shouted, stumbling out of bed and grabbing a robe. “For fuck’s sake…”But Clara kept knocking. “Elenaaa! Don’t make me break down the door!”“This is fucked,” Elena muttered under her breath, unlocking it.The moment the door opened, Clara grinned like she’d just won the lottery. “Good morning, sunshine!”Elena rubbed her eyes. “Clara, what the fuck?”“Don’t take that tone with me,” Clara said with a playful smirk, brushing past her into the room. “Now wake up, bitch. We’re going to the beach.”Elena blinked. “What? No. I literally just woke up. I’m not ready for the beach. And it’s way too early for—” she waved a hand at Clara’s low-cut top, “—your cleavage.”Clara gasped

  • Dangerously Hers   The Pull I Can't Resist

    The next morning, the house felt empty.Elena woke up to the soft light slipping through the curtains. The air was still, almost too quiet. She reached across the bed instinctively, but Raphael wasn’t there. The pillow beside her was cold.“Raphael?” she called softly, glancing toward the living room. No answer. The sound of her voice echoed back through the silence.Five minutes later, her phone rang. She snatched it up immediately.“Good morning, babe,” she said, trying to sound casual, though her voice cracked slightly.“Morning,” Raphael replied, his tone groggy but calm. “I didn’t want to wake you. I had to leave early. Things are a mess at work.”“You were really drunk last night,” she reminded him, pacing the edge of the bed. “I tried to talk to you, but you fell asleep before I could even finish a sentence.”He sighed softly on the other end. “I know, I know. I’m sorry, babe. I just… I’ve been under pressure. Work, deals, and stress. You can tell me what it was when I get back,
