Amelia's POV

I sat on the edge of the bed in the dressing room, clutching a small wrinkled photograph in my palm.

It was Leo.

My sweet, beautiful blonde boy.

In the photo, he was laughing, his soft blonde curls bouncing as he chased a butterfly in the garden of our old home.

My chest throbbed with a pain so sharp, it made it hard to draw air into my lungs.

My fingers trembled as I traced the outline of his tiny face.

Seven years old and was growing up without me.

He was being raised by the very

  • Her Empire, His Terms.   Privacy

    Amelia's POV "Miss Amelia? Are you awake? Please, could you open the door?" Someone said persistently knocking at the door. I groaned, my eyelids fluttering open against the bright morning light spilling through the floor to ceiling windows. The moment I tried to shift my weight, a sharp, deep ache flared between my thighs. My muscles felt incredibly sore, heavy, and completely spent. My face instantly caught fire as the memories of the previous night rushed back. Jared. The touch of his fingers. The paralyzing heat of his tongue. The way he had held my wrists pinned above my head, refusing to let me escape the relentless waves of pleasure until my mind completely fractured and I passed out. I had actually passed out from sheer, overwhelming ecstasy. To top it off,i had actually squirted. I didn't even know I was capable of that. I swallowed hard, panic suddenly gripping my chest and quickly turned my head to look at the other side of the massive king sized

  • Her Empire, His Terms.   Deal with the Devil

    Dean's POV "Fucking bitch! Fucking Donovan!" I cursed out loud slamming the door behind me My hands were shaking so violently I had to shove them deep into my pockets to hide it. My mind was spinning remembering the way Jared had humiliated me. The picture. The look everyone faces as we caused a scene. The way Jared Donovan had looked at me like I was a bug beneath his expensive leather shoe. "Daddy? Where is Mommy?" I flinched at the sound of the small, innocent voice and I turned my head to see Leo standing by the stairs, his little bowtie crooked, his big blue eyes filled with tears. "Is Mommy really alive? you and Aunt Natalie said she went to heaven, but I saw her... I touched her..." "Go to your room, Leo!" Natalie screamed, her voice cracking with a high pitched, hysterical rage. She spun on her heel. "Go to your room right now and don't you dare come out!" Leo shrank back, his lower lip trembling as he looked at me for protection. "Daddy..." "You he

    "Jared, please—" I sobbed, my hips jerking helplessly against his hand. The heat inside me was boiling over. Every single slide of his two fingers felt incredibly deep, stretching me so wide I felt completely full, yet still desperately empty. His thumb was relentless, grinding against my swollen clit until my vision went completely black at the edges. "I'm going to make you forget there was ever a contract, Amelia," he growled, his voice deep and rough. "I'm going to make you forget your own name." Before I could even process his words, Jared suddenly pulled his fingers out of me. The cold air hit my dripping wetness, and I let out a loud, pathetic whine of protest. I felt empty. I wanted his hand back inside me immediately. I reached out, my hands blindly searching for his chest, but he grabbed both of my wrists in one of his massive hands and pinned them securely above my head. "Jared, what are you doing? Don't stop, please don't stop!" I whimpered, begging

  • Her Empire, His Terms.   A Second Finger

    Jared's pov "And what if I want you to forget it is a contract..." She stepped closer, her fingers gripping my shirt. She leaned up, her teeth lightly biting my bottom lip, sending a jolt of pure electricity straight to my groin. "...Just for tonight?" Fuck. Why did she have to say that? Right now, looking down at her, it was damn near impossible to say no. I was already rock hard, my pulse hammering in my throat just from how hot she looked. Her blonde hair was a little messy, her cheeks flushed, and those blue eyes....Fuck it was hard to resist her. It was never my plan to touch or be intimate with her. The deal was simple: a strict business contract. I was actively ruining her, stealing her family's legacy right from under her nose, just like I did to my own father years ago. I was a monster. I knew that. I didn't want to make things messy by getting feelings involved, or by putting my hands on her. But from the very first second I saw her, I was drawn to her. She wa

  • Her Empire, His Terms.   Just a contract

    The cab ride back to the mansion was very quiet. Jared sat beside me his knuckles still stained with dried blood. He didn't look at me once, staring straight ahead into the dark streets. The alcohol was fully in my system now and I felt my head spinning in dizziness and every time the cab bumped, my shoulder brushed against his, and a sharp electric shock ran straight down my spine. I couldn't stop staring at his profile. The sharp jawline, the dark curls falling slightly over his forehead and his beautiful hazel eyes. He had taken down three grown men like they were nothing. It was terrifying, yes, but under the influence of the whiskey, it was also the most intoxicating thing I had ever witnessed. When the cab finally pulled up to the gates of the Donovan mansion, Jared paid the driver and stepped out. I tried to stand, but my legs felt like lead, buckling instantly. I let out a soft, giggling gasp as I began to tilt sideways. Jared rolled his eyes, a low gro

  • Her Empire, His Terms.   Bar fight

    Jared took a slow sip of his whiskey, his eyes darkening. "There is nothing to tell, Amelia." "Oh, come on," I nudged his arm. "That's a lie. You took over your father's multi billion dollar empire, kicked him out of his own boardroom, and you walk around with a security detail that looks like a small army. You clearly didn't have a normal childhood." "Normal is boring," Jared replied smoothly, his voice flat. "I did what I had to do to survive. That’s all you need to know." "Why are you so guarded?" I pressed, stepping closer into his space, "Is it because of your father?" I had suddenly become a talkative prying into Jared's life intoxicated by the drink in my hand. Jared’s face instantly hardened and the slight warmth in his eyes vanished, replaced by a wall of impenetrable block. He set his glass down on the counter "We are partners Amelia," Jared said coldly. "Not friends. Do not dig into my past. It is a dark place, and you won't like what you find there." I swallowed
