GETTING REJECTED

~~ Hazel's POV ~~

I made it back to the guest bedroom and locked the door behind me. My entire body was shaking.

I pulled off the damp robe and threw it across the room like it had personally betrayed me. Which, in a way, it had. The silk nightie clung to my wet skin uncomfortably and I peeled that off too, leaving it in a heap on the floor.

Now I stood in front of the mirror completely naked and tried to process and understand what had just happened.

I had gone to Kai, put myself out there, of

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    HEAVY TENSION

    ~~ Kai's POV ~~I came home to find Hazel sitting on the couch in the living room. The moment she heard the elevator, her entire body went rigid. Her eyes met mine for just a second before she looked away, and I saw the exact moment she decided to run.She stood up quickly and headed toward the stairs."Hazel," I said, my voice stopping her mid-step. "Where are you going? We need to talk."She paused on the third stair, her hand gripping the railing."I..uh...I was just going to grab something from my room," she said, not turning around. "I'll be back right away."I knew she was lying."I want to talk now," I said simply.She turned to face me, and I could see the conflict in her expression. The desire to flee warring with the knowledge that she couldn't keep avoiding me forever."I'm tired," she said. "Can we talk later?""No," I said. "Come back and sit."For a moment I thought she might ignore me and keep going. But then she sighed and came back down the stairs, moving toward the c

    ~~ Hazel's POV ~~I made it back to the guest bedroom and locked the door behind me. My entire body was shaking.I pulled off the damp robe and threw it across the room like it had personally betrayed me. Which, in a way, it had. The silk nightie clung to my wet skin uncomfortably and I peeled that off too, leaving it in a heap on the floor.Now I stood in front of the mirror completely naked and tried to process and understand what had just happened.I had gone to Kai, put myself out there, offered myself to him in every way I had promised myself never to be any man again, made myself vulnerable and had been rejected.The embarrassment burned through me like fire.What had I been thinking? That I could just walk down to the terrace half-naked and seduce him? That I could make him lose control? That I could get him to take me in the heat of the moment?I wrapped myself in a towel and sat on the edge of the bed, my wet hair dripping down my back.The worst part wasn't even the rejectio

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    WANTING ALL OF YOU

    ~~ Kai's POV ~~Her question hung in the air between us like a physical thing. "Don't you want me anymore? Isn't this what you've always wanted?"I wanted her.God, I wanted her so badly that it was physically painful. Every muscle in my body was taut with restraint. My hands wanted to pull her closer instead of holding her at distance. My mouth wanted to taste her skin instead of forming words. My entire being was screaming at me to let go of control and claim what she was offering because I’ve been waiting so long for this day.But I couldn't.Not like this.I held her wrists, feeling the delicate bones beneath my palms, acutely aware of how easily I could hurt her. How easily I could take what she was offering and leave her shattered tomorrow morning.I forced myself to take a breath. Then another."I do want you, Hazel." I said finally, my voice rough with the effort of restraint. The admission came out like a confession, like something I had been holding back for weeks.She looke

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    CAN I JOIN YOU?

    ~~ Hazel's POV ~~I couldn't stay away.I told myself I would rest. I told myself I would stay in that guest bedroom and wait until morning when everything would make more sense.But I couldn't.So I stripped off the emerald dress and looked at myself in the mirror.The silk nightie I found in the closet was sinfully short and impossibly sexy. “How did Kai have something like this in here? Does he bring other girls here too?” I pushed the thought away and wore the dress. It clung to every curve and left absolutely nothing to the imagination. I wrapped a silk robe around myself, knowing it wouldn't help much, and headed downstairs.The penthouse was beautiful. All floor-to-ceiling windows and modern furniture and art that probably cost more than my entire restaurant. I had never been here before. I didn't even know Kai had a place like this, a place so private, so intimate.I stepped out onto the terrace and my breath caught.Kai was in the hot tub with his eyes closed, his head tilted

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    CONFLICTING DESIRES

    ~~ Kai's POV ~~I took Hazel to my private penthouse overlooking the city, I didn’t want to go back to the mansion because I wanted some privacy, I needed to clear my head. And the only place I could do that without interruption was in the penthouse I bought three years ago. Reed was the only person that knew about this place, I made sure the location wasn’t too common so my enemies could figure it out.It was past midnight and the event felt like it belonged to a different lifetime. The confrontation with Damon had shattered the careful control I had been maintaining all night.I had wanted to do more than slam him against a wall. I had wanted to end him.The fact that I had restrained myself at all was a miracle.I poured us both drinks in the living room. Hazel took hers with shaking hands, she didn't speak. She just stood there looking at the city lights below us like they held answers."You should rest," I said quietly. "It's been a long night."She looked at me and I saw somethi

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    LOOSING CONTROL

    ~~ Damon's POV ~~The bathroom hallway felt like it was spinning.I pressed my hand against the wall where Kai had slammed me, trying to steady myself, trying to catch my breath. My throat felt like it had been crushed. My back ached from the impact. My pride was shattered into a thousand pieces.I had just been thrown against a wall like I was nothing.Like I was weak.Like I didn't matter.The worst part wasn't the physical pain. The worst part was that it had happened in front of everyone. Well, not in front of everyone, but close enough. People had seen. People were talking. I could hear the whispers already, spreading through the event like wildfire.Damon Moretti got thrown around by Kai Valentino.Damon Moretti lost control.Damon Moretti isn't the power he used to be.I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror and barely recognized the man staring back at me.My hair was disheveled. My jaw was clenched so hard it hurt. There was a small cut on my lip where I must have hit somet
