Meadow’s POV:

“What the hell does that even mean?”

Nova’s voice was sharp as a blade, her eyes wide as they were when I told her that Alaric might’ve had Juniper committed.

I sat upright in bed, nothing less than stunned at the last thing he’d said to me before he left. I glanced at the door like he might come back anytime soon and say he was joking. That he didn’t really have my sister locked away somewhere in a padded room.

I wasn’t sure how I felt about that.

“He had her evaluated?” Nova scoffed, arms crossed and eyes narrowed like she was ready to burn the entire city down. “Tailored the test so she would fail? That’s…” she trailed off, and to my surprise, let out a short laugh. “That is fucking brilliant.”

I blinked. “What?”

“Think about it,” she said, amusement lacing her voice as she ran a hand through her hair. “He could’ve had her arrested and had you press charges. But that’s more public. Messy. There’s always a loophole around that. A loony bin however…”

    Meadow’s POV:And just like that, I lost all coherent thought.I couldn’t move.I couldn’t breathe.Alaric’s words echoed in my ears like a promise.And even worse? He didn’t even give me a moment to second-guess it.Wait—” I gasped as his strong arms gripped my waist, lifting me off the ground like I weighed nothing. My thighs brushed the cool edge of the marble counter as he settled me onto it like I belonged there.My core throbbed nonstop, my heart pounding hard against my ribcage as Alaric drew lazy circles on my thighs. He was distractingly hot.I swallowed hard, my palms pressed flat against the countertop as I tried to catch my breath. “Alaric…”I lost my train of thought as he leaned in, his lips moving lightly over the skin of my jaw and neck. Alaric kissed me everywhere except my mouth, and I wanted to know why. Badly. But right now I didn’t care.My head fell back as I moaned, feeling his five o'clock shadow grazing my skin and causing me to shiver.He pulled back, his ink

  • HIS DOE, HIS DAMNATION(An Erotic Billionaire Romance)   CHAPTER 0023

    Alaric’s POV: A pulse of heat cracked down my spine and I felt my cock stir at the words Meadow had just uttered.Not just the words—the sound of her voice, the low rasp in her tone, the way her lips curved up in that shy smile? It all sent a current straight down to my cock, and I wanted nothing more than to give her what she wanted.“This is the second request you’ve made in two days, do you realize that?” I asked in a low tone as my gaze dropped to her hand on my shirt. I caught the way her fingers trembled slightly, and I felt my mouth twitch.Meadow was terrible at pretending that she was in charge. She tried to put on a brave face for whatever reason I didn’t understand, but I knew that deep down, she was terrified of what I could do to her.What I ‘would’ do to her.Meadow had no idea what she’d signed up for by giving up her body and innocence to me. And I was going to make sure she knew that.She peered up at me, her long lashes fluttering. Her eyes were a little unfocused.

    Meadow’s POV: The crash of the ceramic plates against the marble floor made me flinch, and I cursed as the pieces scattered around me. I froze like a deer caught in headlights.Mel gasped, nearly dropping the pan she was holding. “Stay still!” she barked, already rushing toward a door in the corner of the kitchen. “You’re barefoot, Meadow. Don’t take another step.”I nodded quickly as my muscles tensed. And when I remembered that Alaric was only a few feet away, I turned around to look at him.But that was a bad idea.God, I was full of bad ideas lately.As I shifted, I stepped on a slick piece of porcelain, and I slipped.I gasped, my arms flailing as they tried to reach for something—anything—that would ground me, but there was nothing. However, I didn’t hit the floor.Alaric’s strong hands caught me before gravity did.“Fucking hell, Meadow,” he cursed as he took me into his arms, lifting me off my feet and stepping away from the mess I’d just made.“What part of ‘stay still’ did

    Meadow’s POV: The time was past seven pm when I trudged down the spiral stairs, my head still aching slightly due to the aftermath of the concussion.Nova didn't stay too long. When we got to the house, she gushed and gushed over how fucking huge Alaric’s mansion was. And it was safe to say that she was about eighty-five percent sure that I was in safe hands with my ‘husband.’I hadn’t told her yet that I was going to agree to marry Alaric and accept the deal, but I was fully certain that she already knew.After Nova left, I’d spent the entire afternoon trying—and failing—to sleep because of how lost in thought I was. It was impossible to get my overthinking under control. Overthinking was a part of me. It’s one of the major reasons I hated being alone and didn’t waste any time to move in with Tyler when he’d asked.And now, with all the drama I’d experienced in just one weekend—the same weekend I thought I would be getting married—my thoughts were spiralling out of control.And I co

  • HIS DOE, HIS DAMNATION(An Erotic Billionaire Romance)   CHAPTER 0019

    Meadow’s POVThe doors had just slid open, and walking so casually through them, was Alaric Ashford, wearing a black suit that would’ve made my mouth water if my tongue didn’t feel so dry.He looked terrifyingly calm and controlled. And the smirk playing at the edge of his lips was anything but casual. It was calculated. Dangerously calculated.Nova, who had been gearing up for another rant, visibly froze in her spot.“Ho—ly shit,” Nova whispered under her breath. “Those fucking internet pictures did not do him justice.”I didn't say anything. I couldn’t. I was too busy trying to decode the look in Alaric’s eye. He wasn’t smiling—he never smiled, but he wasn’t unreadable either. His gaze landed on me and my stomach twisted.“Hello, Nova,” he said, nodding in her direction.Nova blinked, looking every bit as mesmerized as I was. “Uh. Hi.”“I appreciate you being here with her,” he added politely, stretching his hand out to her.Nova didn’t hesitate to take his hand, and I couldn’t hel
