~ SIMON

"These are my three treasures!"

Abby handed me her phone, and I found myself staring at three faces—two boys and a girl, all dark hair and green eyes, all wearing the same mischievous grin I remembered from their mother at seventeen.

"This is Jack," Abby said, pointing to the oldest. "He turned ten last month. Already taller than me, which is getting ridiculous. And this is Sam—he's eight and convinced he's going to be an astronaut. And this is Lily. She's five and already running the

    ~ JAMIESimon wasn't in the office when I got there.He wasn't in the conference room either, or on the terrace, or in any of the usual spots where he liked to hide when he wanted the world to believe a billionaire could just vanish inside his own building."Kelly, where is he?"She looked up from her computer."Good morning to you too.""Sorry. Good morning. Where's Simon?""I don't know.""Kelly.""Jamie."I crossed my arms."He canceled the nine o'clock and he's not answering my texts either.""So it sounds like you know more about where he is than I do."The private elevator doors slid open behind us.Simon stepped out with his jacket slung over one shoulder and his knuckles red. There was a fresh cut at the corner of his mouth.My stomach dropped."You."He stopped."Me.""My office. Now."Kelly bit her lip to keep from smiling.Simon tilted his head."I like it when you talk like you're my boss.""Move it, Hart.""Yes, ma'am."I walked in behind him and

    ~ SIMONThe Westbridge Medical Center parking lot was still slick with drizzle when I pulled the Ferrari in at 7:42.Ian, efficient as always, had found out Oliver's surgery was scheduled for nine and gotten my name on the visitors' list.I got past security with a temporary badge and took the elevator up to the third floor. The hallway smelled like antiseptic and stale coffee.A resident on duty appeared in front of me, dark circles under her eyes, a cup in her hand."Sir, you can't be up here. This is a restricted area."I looked at her. Smiled."I'm here to see a friend. Dr. Oliver. Is he in?"The woman studied me for a second. The Armani suit. The watch. The smile I used in meetings with billionaire investors."Of course," she said, her voice softer. "He's resting in the room at the end of the hall.""Thank you. I won't be long."She nodded and disappeared.I walked to the end of the corridor and pushed the door open. It swung in silently.The room was small. An old c

    ~ SIMONIt was 6:47 p.m. when I leaned back in my chair and pulled up the security camera feed on my laptop.A habit. An addiction. A fine line I didn't know where ended anymore.There she was.Jamie closed her laptop with a precise click, slid the documents into her folder, and ran her fingers through her hair in that automatic gesture I knew by heart. She stared at the dark screen one more time, like she was thinking about opening everything back up, then thought better of it.She stood. Grabbed her bag. Adjusted her blazer on her shoulders.I exhaled slowly.Time to leave too.I shut the laptop, grabbed my jacket, and took the emergency stairs down to the legal floor. When I got there, she was standing in front of the elevator, waiting for the doors to open."Collins."She turned. For a second, something flickered in her eyes. Surprise. Maybe hesitation. Then the professional mask slid back into place."Hart."I hit the button. The doors slid open with a soft chime.I

    ~ JAMIEGray Monday light in New York always managed to make me feel more exhausted than I already was.In the bathroom, I turned makeup into armor.Foundation. Concealer. Powder.The bruise on my cheek still showed through all of it, dark at the center, bleeding out toward the edges like a stain I couldn't hide.Still, I kept going.Another layer. Then another.By the time I was done, the bruise had faded into nothing more than a pale shadow beneath my skin.In the elevator, I glanced up without thinking and caught my reflection in the mirror.I looked away immediately.I didn't want to stare long enough to see how tired I really looked.The office was a blur. The hum of computers, the click of heels on marble, the smell of strong coffee hanging in the air. I buried myself in paperwork, reviewing clauses until the words turned into incomprehensible scribbles.Around noon, my desk phone rang. It was Kelly, Simon's assistant."Ms. Collins, Mr. Hart would like to see you in his office.

    ~ JAMIEThe cab pulled up in front of my building, and I paid the driver with a tired wave, not even waiting for the change. Saturday at the office had been a blur of contracts and emails, a futile attempt to drown myself in work so I wouldn't think about the night before. It worked for a few hours. Now, as I walked down the sidewalk, exhaustion hit me like a truck. The city never slept. Even at ten at night, New York hummed with an energy indifferent to my fatigue. And it was in the middle of that sea of lights and engines that I saw him.Oliver.He was staggering near the entrance of my building, tie loose, jacket wrinkled. The smell of cheap whiskey reached me before I could even think about how to get away.I picked up my pace, determined to ignore him. To cross the street. To do anything but deal with him."Jamie!" His voice came out slurred, a hoarse rasp. "Jamie, wait!"I didn't wait. I kept walking, purse clutched against my chest, eyes fixed on the glass door.Th

    ~ JAMIEMorning light filtered through the penthouse curtains and I woke up with the familiar weight of his arm around my waist.For a moment, I stayed completely still, feeling the heat of his body against my back. The slow, steady rhythm of his breathing against my neck. The way our bodies fit together perfectly, like they were made for it.Shit.The night before, he'd sworn he'd behave. "I'm just going to sleep, Jamie. Word of honor." And I, idiot that I am, believed him.I woke up in the middle of the night with his body pressed against mine, his arm tight around my waist, and something hard and unmistakable against my back. I felt desire climb up my spine like fire, and when I moved, he woke up too."Couldn't help it," he whispered against my ear, voice rough with sleep. "You keep moving.""You're the one holding me."And then he turned me on my side and took me slowly, from behind, with a slowness that made me bite the pillow to stay quiet. Every thrust was deeper than th
