My breath hitched, and heat pooled between my legs. “I said you're old—and not man enough.” He grabbed my chin, lips inches from mine. “Baby girl, when I’m done with you, you’ll beg this 'old man' to stop. You won’t just know I’m man enough—you’ll feel it in every inch of your sore, trembling body.” ***** At 40, architect Lorenzo De Vito has built a life of discipline and control—until 23-year-old Emily Ross steps into his world. She's bold, ambitious, and irresistible, awakening desires he buried long ago. Lorenzo knows she's off-limits, a risk to his career and reputation, but her teasing smiles and undeniable chemistry make her impossible to resist. As the tension between them ignites, the line between control and surrender begins to blur. Will he resist the temptation or risk it all for the one woman he shouldn’t want?

Our new house is so big!” I turned my head and saw him running, his tiny arms stretched out like he was flying. His eyes sparkled as he darted from one side of the living room to the other, stopping only to peek into the rooms as if each door hid a treasure. “Wow! It’s endless!” he shouted, spinning in a circle before running again. Lorenzo’s deep laugh filled the air, warm and rich. He leaned against the doorway, his eyes following Nico’s every move with pride and amusement. Then he turned to me, and that look he always gave me—the one that made my knees weak no matter how many times I saw it—softened into something only meant for me. He reached out, pulling me against him in one swift motion. Before I could catch my breath, his mouth was on mine. The kiss was deep, hungry, yet tender, as if he was reminding himself
The gala was in full swing. Crystal chandeliers sparkled above the ballroom, casting golden light across polished marble floors. Music floated through the air, soft and elegant, while laughter and voices filled every corner of the vast hall. People from all over the world had come tonight—architects, businessmen, politicians. All dressed in their finest, all sipping champagne, all smiling as though nothing dark could exist in this world. But my eyes weren’t on them. They were scanning the room, searching for only one face. Emily. I told myself I would keep calm, wait for the right moment, wait for Carter’s signal. But the second she stepped through the tall glass doors, the second I saw her walking into the light in that dress—my heart skipped a beat so strong it almost hurt. God. She looked so beautiful. Her brown hair spilled over her shoulders, her dress hugged her body perfectly, and her eyes… they shone like they always did, soft yet strong. She blended into the crowd, try
The moment I pushed open the front door, I barely had time to take a breath before a small body came rushing toward me. “Mama!” Nico’s little arms wrapped tightly around my legs, squeezing with all his strength. His soft hair brushed against my hands as I bent down to scoop him into my arms. His warmth, his laughter, the way his little heart beat against mine—it was all I needed after the storm of emotions I had just been through. I kissed the top of his head, inhaling the sweet scent of his shampoo. “Oh, baby… I missed you.” “You said you’d come back soon,” he said, his voice muffled against my neck. “And you did.” Tears pricked my eyes again, but this time they weren’t only from pain—they were from relief. From hope. I set him gently on the ground, brushing his hair back from his forehead. “Mommy kept her promise.” From the living room, I heard Jane’s voice. “Finally! I thought you were never coming home. You’ve been gone for hours.” I stepped into the room, trying to gather
The elevator doors closed behind me with a soft sound, and I let out a shaky breath. My hands wouldn’t stop fidgeting with the strap of my bag. I had done this hundreds of times before—meeting new clients, walking into big offices, putting on a confident smile. It was part of my job. But today, my heart felt heavier than usual. Mr. Ricardo had called me earlier in the week. He told me he had referred me to one of his close friends, someone who needed my services. He didn’t tell me much about him, only that he was powerful, private, and a man I could trust. Trust. The word twisted something in me. Because trust was not something I gave easily anymore. Still, I agreed. Work was work, and I needed to keep pushing forward—for Nico, for our future. So here I was, climbing floor after floor in a glass elevator, trying to shake the uneasy feeling sitting low in my stomach. I thought of Nico as the numbers lit up above the doors.
