The office was too quiet for this late in the evening. Floors below, the last cleaners had gone home. The city buzzed outside the glass wall, but up here, everything was still. Too still.
Eva’s heels clicked on the polished marble as she crossed the space with calm she didn’t feel. Her pulse jumped, shallow in her throat. The elevator doors behind her closed with a soft hiss, sealing her in. Mr. Callum Thorne. CEO. Billionaire. Bastard. She should’ve been gone hours ago. Her audit report had been submitted by noon, but the man had requested a meeting after dark. The message had come through his assistant, cold and clipped: Mr. Thorne wants to review the figures in private. Private. That word had curled under her skin all day. His office was at the far end, its door wide open. He sat behind his desk, black shirt rolled up to the elbows, tie loose, silver watch catching the light. And he was watching her. Like he always did. Like he owned every inch of her. “Miss Rowe,” he said, voice deep and quiet. “Close the door.” She did, slowly, hand on the cool brass handle. When it clicked shut, her chest lifted with a breath she hadn’t realized she’d held. He gestured to the chair opposite him. “Have a seat.” She didn’t sit. Not yet. She stepped closer, heels silent on the rug now. His gaze dragged down her body, hungry. Calculating. “You asked for an audit,” she said, holding the folder in her hand. “You didn’t really care about the numbers.” His brow lifted slightly. “And what makes you say that?” “You don’t bring interns to your office at midnight for numbers, Mr. Thorne.” A muscle ticked in his jaw. She stepped around the desk. His chair squeaked as he leaned back, surprised. “You think I called you up here for... this?” he asked, voice tighter now. “I know you did.” Her voice was soft, almost sweet. She reached for his tie, fingers brushing the silk. “You’ve been looking at me since I started. Every meeting. Every elevator ride. You act like you don’t see me, but I see the way your cock twitches when I say yes, sir.” His nostrils flared. But he didn’t stop her. “You think I don’t notice when you linger behind me at the printer?” she whispered. “You want me to think I’m powerless. That I’m just an intern. But you brought me here for a reason.” He gripped the arms of his chair. His breath was shallow now. She straddled his lap slowly, hips sinking down until she could feel the hard line of him beneath her. “Tell me to stop,” she said. He didn’t. He couldn’t. Her fingers slipped the knot of his tie loose. “You think I’m here to obey you, Mr. Thorne. But tonight, I’m not your intern.” She leaned close. “Tonight, you’re mine.” He opened his mouth, maybe to protest, maybe to command her to get off him, but she kissed him before he could speak. Hard, deep, with months of tension pouring from her mouth to his. He groaned low in his throat, cock twitching under her. She reached between them and undid his belt with one hand, slow and teasing, her fingers brushing over his bulge deliberately. He shivered, jaw clenched. “Still in charge?” she whispered against his mouth. His answer was a growl, but it wasn’t resistance. It was surrender wrapped in frustration. His cock was already thick in her palm, hot and pulsing. She stroked him once, twice, then stood, tugged her pencil skirt up over her hips, and pushed her soaked panties aside. He looked up at her, lips parted, helpless. She didn’t wait. She sank down on him in one smooth motion, taking him in deep. They both gasped—her fingers clawed into his shoulders, his hands gripped her thighs like he was about to lose his mind. “Fuck,” he bit out, voice hoarse. “You’re so—fuck.” “Tight?” she whispered with a smile, grinding down, slow and cruel. “Wet?” He cursed again and tried to move, tried to thrust up into her, but she pressed a hand to his chest. “No,” she said. “You stay still.” He stared at her, breathing hard, sweat starting to bead at his temple. “You like being used, don’t you?” she whispered, riding him slow, deliberate. “All that money, all that power. But this is what you needed.” He grabbed the edge of the desk behind him like it was the only thing anchoring him. She clenched around him and his whole body jerked. “I should ruin you,” she said sweetly. “Make you beg.” His mouth opened again, breath ragged. “Do it.” That one whisper changed everything. She picked up speed, hips snapping harder now, wet heat slapping skin to skin. His control was gone, the tension in his arms shaking. He looked like he might lose it. And that was what she wanted. “You want to come,” she said, voice taunting. His nod was tight. Desperate. “But you don’t come unless I say so.” His groan was strangled. His hands finally reached for her hips, holding her tighter as she fucked him, his control breaking with every breath. She leaned in, bit the line of his jaw. “You gonna come in me like a good boy?” “Yes,” he gritted. “Say it.” “I’m gonna come,” he gasped. “Please. Let me.” She smiled and squeezed tighter around him. “Come for me.” He did. He came with a strangled growl, thrusting up into her helplessly as she rode him through it. She didn’t stop, not until he was trembling, sweat slicking his chest, breath gone. She finally slowed, leaned in, licked a drop of sweat from his neck. “Still the boss?” she whispered. He didn’t answer. He couldn’t. His body had turned to putty beneath her. She climbed off him, fixing her skirt with slow fingers. As she turned to leave, she looked back once over her shoulder. “Next time, maybe you’ll ask nicely.”The lights of Rome bled through the windows in streaks of gold and red as Jasmine leaned against the cool marble sink of the penthouse bathroom. Her hands gripped the edge like she was bracing for an earthquake, her chest rising and falling in sharp, uneven breaths. Picaso Emilio’s scent still clung to her skin, tobacco, leather, and something darker. Something sinful.Her lipstick was smudged, her hair a ruin of silk and need. She didn’t know what scared her more: the man or how much she wanted him. Her inner thighs still tingled from his mouth, and the imprint of his teeth on her hip looked like a secret brand.The door creaked behind her.“You run fast for someone who begged me not to stop,” came his voice, low, rough silk, soaked in danger.She met his eyes in the mirror. His shirt was unbuttoned, his tattoos a map of sins carved in ink. A gun holster hung off his shoulder like it belonged there more than his heart ever would. Picaso wasn’t just a man. He was a war.“You don’t ask
The ballroom was lit like a dream. Jasmine Martian didn’t belong here, not among polished monsters in suits and gowns worth more than her rent. Her black satin dress clung to her curves, slit high on her thigh. But she wasn't here to seduce.She was here to confront the devil himself.Picaso Emilio.Rumors whispered of his cruelty of bodies dumped in rivers, of men who crossed him vanishing without a sound. They said his father had been ten times worse. But Picaso didn’t need to shout or threaten. He simply looked, and the world obeyed.And now he was looking at her.His presence made her stomach clench. Midnight eyes like polished obsidian locked onto her from across the room. He didn’t smile. Didn’t blink. He lifted a glass of whiskey, drained it, and moved, toward her.God, he moved like sin.She turned to leave, but it was too late. A hand, gloved in black leather, caught her wrist. He tugged her close, his cologne wrapping around her like silk and smoke.“You’ve been watching me
The cabin groaned as the night wind pressed against it, but Silvia’s world had narrowed to the heat inside,.fierce, overwhelming, and sacred.Torin's hands were on her hips, fingers bruising, his body caged against her back as he growled into her ear. “You were made to be worshipped like this.”His voice, raw and deep, sent vibrations straight through her spine. She gasped when Macus stepped in front of her again, his golden eyes blazing with restrained hunger. The firelight flickered across his bare chest, his muscles taut with control, but his lips were already parting, tongue flicking out as he reached for her.“You still burning for us, little moon?” Macus murmured, brushing a thumb over her swollen bottom lip.Silvia nodded, breathless, feeling the dizzying aftermath of the first claiming and yet her body ached for more. The heat hadn’t subsided. It was worse. Now that she’d tasted them, now that they’d filled her, she was greedy for it.“You need more,” Torin growled behind her,
The full moon was rising.Silviya’s body trembled as the ancient heat overtook her again, stronger, more primal than anything she’d endured before. Her blood felt like fire beneath her skin. She had locked herself away in the moonstone chambers, the sacred room meant to contain Omegas during their heat, but it was no use now.She wasn’t a regular Omega. She was the last Moon-Blessed.And the three Alphas bound to her had found her.The heavy door creaked open, and the scent of forest, smoke, and musk bled into the air. She turned, heart racing.“Silviya,” growled Cael, the eldest of the three. The strategist. His glacier eyes were already glowing, jaw tight with restraint.Behind him stood Evren, the wildest of them, his golden eyes dilated, tongue wetting his lower lip as he sniffed the air like a predator who’d caught his prey.And last was Dren. The youngest but most unhinged. He leaned against the doorframe, a smirk on his lips. “You locked us out during your Moonburn?” he teased.
Serena should’ve known better than to think she had any control left.Not after three nights of being broken down, claimed, worshipped, and wrecked by three billionaires who didn’t just want her body, they wanted everything. Her mind, her loyalty, her soul.And they were fighting for it now. Quietly. Brutally.She could feel it in the way Jace watched Dorian too long. In the edge to Luca’s voice when he kissed her harder than necessary.That morning, she'd found her robe missing. Replaced by a silk cocktail dress so short it might’ve been stitched on with a threat. A card was tucked beside it.Dinner at Rowe. No underwear. No argument. – JShe wore it.Because part of her loved being told what to do.But when the elevator opened into the private restaurant at the top of Rowe Tower, she immediately realized something had changed.The room wasn’t empty.There were guests. Investors. Clients. Men and women in suits and diamonds, sipping rare wine, watching as Serena stepped inside like a
It was supposed to be just sex. Just survival.Serena kept reminding herself of that.But on Night Three, when Dorian poured a glass of wine between her breasts and licked it from her skin like a dying man tasting rain, she forgot every reason she’d come here.She had been sold to survive.Now she stayed to burn.They'd taken her to the rooftop of the Blackwell Tower—thirty-five floors above the city, the wind whispering across her bare skin, her wrists already strapped behind the wrought-iron railing. It wasn’t cold. Not when she was trembling for them. Not when her core was already aching before a single one of them touched her.The night sky stretched endless and wicked above her, stars barely visible through the haze of city light.“I can’t believe you wore nothing under that robe,” Luca murmured behind her, parting the satin slowly until it fluttered away like wings.He traced a finger down her spine, stopping just above her ass. “You want them to see you, bella? All those lights
