And this time, she won’t just destroy Felix Sterling—she’ll make him beg.

You weird man, open this door!"Jessica yells, her fist slamming over the door.Lewis blinked. "Should I…""No," I said with a ragged breath. "Let her nag. Once she's tired, she'll go back. I need a cold bath."Lewis nodded, his lips pursed, and I noticed that his eyes were on my lower waist. Recognition flashed between them. "Oh.""Oh what? Go draw me a cold ice bath. I need to calm myself. And learn to mind your business.""Yes, sir." Lewis nodded, and he left the door sharply. His figure disappeared into the bathroom.Jessica banged on the door for a while, raining curses along the way but after a while, I heard her shove her feet against the door with a thud, and I jolted. "Alright, fine. Ignore me!" she yelled one last time before I heard her steps fade away.Pain bubbled up inside my head as I closed my eyes. "These wome
KENDRICK'S POV"No, don’t come inside," Becca yelled, and the door stopped."Why?""Umm, you can't. I'm naked." Becca stuttered, her eyes rolling away from mine.I loved that excuse—the way her hands were on my lips, clamping me to stay quiet with her body pressed over mine."Becky, I've seen you naked countless times, and I also have to help you change your bandage and help you apply those weird stuff on your shoulders," Jessica continued. I had a feeling that she was not going to leave anytime soon, and this meant I could stay longer with Becca."It's called ointment, and you don't have to bother. I've already done that myself. Please, can I have some privacy... please?" she breathed down on my neck."Alright, fine. Just please get some rest and sleep. I'll come check on you when you're not naked." The sarcasm dripped from her tone and the door slid shut.Becca’s head collapsed against my chest, breathing fast. Was she too embarrassed to be seen with me?My jaw hardened but yet I fo
REBECCA'S POVA bile rose up inside my throat. This was not how I imagined things to go.All I wanted to do was tease him a little, and now that I thought hard about it, why did I even do it?His large, thick hands circled through my waist like a rope, and a whimper escaped my throat.I could feel the pain on my shoulders hammering through my body.This was supposed to hurt, but as the wave of pleasure hit my core, it dulled my senses.My throat was dry, each swallow scraping like sandpaper. No amount of spit could calm the storm inside me. His eyes softened with a need that made my knees go weak, and I almost slipped onto the floor.I hadn't seen that kind of look in Felix's or any man's eyes.It was like a hunger, but almost gentle. It was as if he was trying to hold a beast locked on the other side.A twisted part of me itched to lose this distance, dig deep to find the beast behind that gaze.Then slowly, I felt his fingertips brush the side of my thigh. Instinctively, I clasped
KENDRICK’S POVI shouldn’t have been looking—but hell, I couldn’t tear my eyes away.Her long wavy hair spilled over her shoulders like dark silk, catching the light just enough to tempt. The black lace of her bra peeked through the parted fabric of her blouse—daring and deliberate. Her buttons were undone just enough to reveal the swell of her breasts, lifted perfectly, teasing me with every breath she took.My body betrayed me.My feet itched to close the distance. My hand twitched at my side, aching to reach out, to feel the heat of her skin under my fingers. Every instinct screamed to move—just a step, just a touch.I was already losing control.“What are you doing here, exactly?”Rebecca’s voice brought me back to reality, and I blinked but I still couldn’t tear my gaze away—especially since she towered over me.Her feet were small and slender as they padded across the floor, stepping closer.“I...”A ragged breath escaped my lungs, and I swallowed hard, forcing down the words si
KENDRICK'S POV"Is there something wrong?" I asked in a low tone as I slid onto a chair next to my dad.His eyes were still clenched like he was about to throw a punch in my face. After a while, his eyes softened and he sighed."Listen, you will soon be stepping in as the chairman of the entire business. How are you supposed to do that if you can't even get your head straight now?"I averted my eyes away from him. "This has never happened before, I just got distracted. I am sorry, sir."With my dad, it was better to just apologize and get things over with. The faster I end this chit-chat, the faster I could go see Lewis and then Becca."You have not been yourself and that's what is surprising. Tell me, son, what is so important that you had to zone out throughout the meeting? You could fool those directors but definitely not me…"He frowned. He just kept rambling, and I had a feeling this was not going to end anytime soon.I pinched the space between my brows, my gaze fixed on my watc
KENDRICK'S POVThe pen hit the table with a sharp click. I rolled my eyes and let out a frustrated hiss.“Damn it,” I muttered before I could stop myself."Mr. Reyes, are you okay?"My eyes snapped up—and only then did it hit me. I was still in the conference room… surrounded by the board of directors.Fantastic.I’d been off since morning, ever since Becca made that ridiculous comment about Lewis. I’d known her for years—years—and not once had she ever called me handsome. But Lewis walks in with that smug grin and suddenly, she’s practically melting in her step?I shifted in my chair, jaw tightening as my hands clenched over the table."Mr. Reyes!" the voice came again, sharper this time. I blinked, forcing myself back into the present. "We're waiting for your review."Great. Just great.All eyes turned toward me, expectant and mildly irritated. And here I was, completely clueless about what had even been said. My mind had been too busy hosting a one-man war over Becca and Lewis to
