Se connecterNorth’s life was already on the edge of collapse when Lucien Crowe’s world found him. A final year law student crushed under his family’s debt, North sees the offer for what it is: a transaction. Becoming a billionaire’s kept secret feels like a silver lining, and he takes it without hesitation, unconcerned with consequences. Lucien Crowe built his empire on control. People bend. Systems obey. What fascinates him most are those who still believe in the law, especially before they learn how easily it can be broken. North was supposed to be temporary. Another indulgence. Instead, his indifference cracks Lucien’s perfect exterior, awakening obsession, jealousy, and a possessiveness he no longer knows how to contain. For North, everything has a price. Sex is currency. Affection is leverage. He never intended to fall in love, especially not with a man who represents everything he despises. But when rules are broken and lines blur, North becomes the villain for refusing to give his heart in return. North’s revenge demands sacrifice, and love proves far more expensive than money. As power tightens its grip, North must decide whether he can truly love a man who embodies the system he hates, or if playing with Lucien’s heart will destroy them both first.
Voir plusNorth’s POVI don't know how long I'd been fingering my hole, lost in the haze of my own arousal, but Lucien didn't let me stop until he was close to cumming. His eyes, dark and predatory, never left my hands as I worked myself open for him. Then he beckoned me over with a single crooked finger, a gesture that made my heart hammer against my ribs.I pulled my fingers from my body, slick with my own need, and crawled to him across the plush carpet. The fibers dug into my knees, but I barely registered the discomfort. Lucien held my chin, his grip firm but not painful, still stroking his magnificent cock with his other hand."Open your mouth," he commanded, his voice a low rumble that vibrated through me.I complied, stretching my jaw as wide as I could to accommodate what he offered. He guided himself past my lips, and I felt the weight of him on my tongue, salty, velvety, impossibly alive. Lucien set the pace, making me bob my head faster and faster until my eyes watered and my lungs
North’s POV"Turn around," he ordered.I complied, then gasped as his hand seized my left buttock, squeezing the flesh like he was testing its firmness. I fought back a moan, but his lips descended on the nape of my neck, teeth grazing my skin. The sharp sting wasn't as painful as I'd expected; instead, it sent electric signals straight to my groin. His other hand roamed down my chest, brushing past a nipple that hardened instantly, then across my stomach. I instinctively sucked in my belly. When his fingers ventured lower, past my pubic hair and wrapped around my shaft, I jerked like I'd been shocked."When last?" His murmur against my shoulder made me shiver."What?" I managed, my voice dry and cracking."When last did you have sex?" He planted a soft kiss on my jawline. "Hmm?""I... I can't remember." I weakly tried to push his hands away, though it was useless.The hand on my shaft disappeared, creeping between my ass cheeks. I shuddered as his finger brushed against my hole."So
North’s POVStill stunned, I followed him down the long hallway. He walked with unhurried confidence, his stride smooth and prefect, only glancing back once, just as he reached his door. It was enough to remind me that he was aware of every step I took behind him.I was slower. By the time I entered the room, he was already seated.The space stole my breath before he did.The bedroom was vast, almost gallery-like. Clean lines, high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows veiled with sheer curtains that softened the city lights outside. The palette was restrained but intentional, shades of ivory, slate, and deep blue, accented with sculptural art pieces that looked expensive enough to be untouchable. At the center of it all sat a massive blue cushioned chaise, positioned like a throne rather than furniture.He lounged there with ease, legs crossed, wine glass still in hand, perfectly at home in excess.Without looking away from me, he tilted his head toward a glass-walled bathroom to the si
North’s POVJeremy chuckled and turned toward the road. Right on cue, a black SUV rolled to a smooth stop in front of us. “You first,” he said, bowing with exaggerated flair.I clenched my fists at my sides, eyes flicking around to see if anyone was paying attention before stepping into a stranger’s car.We had barely driven a minute when Jeremy handed me a single document and a ballpoint pen. He did not even look at me. “You are a law student,” he said. “I don’t think I need to explain anything.”Right. I was a law student. Top of my class, if I allowed myself that small vanity. Proof that intelligence without money was just wordplay.I read the document carefully. A standard non-disclosure agreement. Nothing dramatic on the surface. Names of the parties, duration, obligations, and remedies for breach. Clean. Efficient. Too efficient.Only one thing stood out.The agreement listed the counterparty simply as Mr. Crowe, with no corporate entity, no government-issued identifier, no addr
