The silence in the penthouse was suffocating.

Aria’s heels clicked faintly against the marble as Ethan dragged her inside, his hand clamped around her wrist like iron. The city glittered beyond the glass walls, but inside, the air burned with his fury.

She opened her mouth to speak, to soothe, but his voice cut through the tension like a blade.

“Not a word.”

Her stomach clenched. She’d seen Ethan angry before, but never like this—never so raw, so close to unraveling. He paced like a caged predator, his jaw clenched, his shoulders rigid.

Then, in a sudden snap, he turned on her.

“Do you think I didn’t see it?” His voice thundered, low but vibrating with violence. “The way he looked at you. The way you lethim.”

Aria flinched. “Ethan—”

“Don’t.” He stepped closer, his eyes burning into hers. “Don’t lie to me. He touched you. I can smell him on you.”

Her lips parted, breath catching. “It wasn’t—”

But he silenced her with a brutal kiss, crushing his mouth against hers. It wasn’t tender. It

  • His Contract Mistress   The Rival’s Temptation

    The Blackwood Corporation boardroom was colder than the winter morning outside. Polished glass stretched across the long table, reflecting the glitter of Manhattan’s skyline. Aria sat quietly at the far end, clutching a leather folder Ethan had given her to carry.She had never set foot in a place like this. The walls hummed with power, with the weight of billion-dollar decisions and men who thought they owned the world. And sitting across from Ethan, lounging with a predator’s ease, was the man she recognized instantly from whispers—Nathaniel Cross.Tall. Elegant. Dangerous. His silver tie gleamed like a blade, his smile cutting sharper than any knife.And the way his eyes slid to her… made her shiver.Ethan was steel beside her, his profile carved with determination. “We’re not here to waste time. State your terms, Nathaniel.”Nathaniel’s smirk deepened. “Straight to business, Blackwood? Pity. I was hoping for some… pleasantries.” His gaze drifted shamelessly to Aria again, lingerin

  • His Contract Mistress   Tangled Between Love and the Contract

    The penthouse glittered in the city’s midnight glow, its windows overlooking Manhattan like a silent, watchful guardian. Inside, Aria stood barefoot on the marble floor, clutching the edge of Ethan’s shirt as though it anchored her to sanity.Her lips were swollen, her body still trembling from the storm he had unleashed moments ago in the bedroom. His touch had burned into her skin like a brand, leaving no part of her untouched, no thought in her head unclaimed.Yet, her heart warred with her mind.“Ethan…” Her voice broke as she lifted her eyes to him. “This… us… it’s not in the contract.”Ethan’s jaw tightened. His shirt hung open, revealing a chest that rose and fell unevenly with restrained emotion. He stepped closer, caging her against the glass wall.“The contract is nothing compared to what I feel when I touch you.” His tone was low, dangerous, as though admitting weakness cost him something. “Do you think I can keep pretending this is just business?”Aria swallowed hard, figh

  • His Contract Mistress   The First Betrayal

    Aria had never been more restless.She sat curled on the leather sofa, her knees drawn up, her robe loosely tied, staring out at the glittering skyline. The city lights should have soothed her, but instead they mocked her, each one whispering freedom she couldn’t touch.Ethan’s words from last night still clung to her like chains.You’re mine. No one will take you from me.And yet Damon’s voice haunted her more.Let me show you the difference.She pressed her face into her hands, guilt swirling like poison in her veins. Ethan had given her everything—luxury, protection, passion that set her body ablaze. But he had also taken everything—her choices, her independence, her air.Was it wrong to want more?Was it wrong to want Damon?The buzzing of her phone snapped her from her thoughts. She grabbed it quickly, terrified Ethan would see.A message flashed across the screen.Unknown Number: Meet me. Midnight. Hotel Delacroix. Room 1502.Her heart stopped. Damon.Her fingers trembled. She s

  • His Contract Mistress   The Devil’s Temptation

    Morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, soft and golden, yet Aria felt anything but peaceful.Her body still ached from Ethan’s brutal possession, every mark on her skin a reminder of how fiercely he had claimed her the night before. Her lips were swollen, her thighs sore, her voice raw from moans she hadn’t been able to silence.But what lingered most wasn’t the heat. It was his words.I can’t lose you.He had said them like a confession torn from a place he didn’t want her to see. And for the first time, Aria had felt the terrifying weight of his obsession—not just lust, not just control, but fear.Fear of losing her.And yet… Damon’s whisper lingered just as powerfully.You crave freedom. He’ll never give you that.Ethan had left early for a meeting, kissing her roughly before ordering her to “stay here, and don’t open the door to anyone.” His protectiveness should have comforted her. Instead, it felt like another chain.She slipped into the silk robe draped across the chai

  • His Contract Mistress   When Titans Collide

    Aria’s heart hadn’t stopped racing since Damon slipped out of the penthouse like a shadow.She could still feel the phantom of his lips against her jaw, soft but devastating, a dangerous promise disguised as a whisper. She had tried to compose herself before Ethan came closer, but she knew the man was too sharp, too predatory, to miss the trembling in her hands or the uneven rhythm of her breathing.Ethan didn’t question her—not yet. He didn’t shout or demand answers. He simply studied her with that unnerving silence of his, the kind that made her skin prickle as though she had already been caught.“Aria,” he finally murmured, his voice low, smooth, but laced with suspicion. “Who was here?”Her stomach dropped. She swallowed, forcing herself to meet his piercing gaze. “No one.”He tilted his head slightly, his lips curving into something dangerously close to a smile. But there was no warmth in it. “You’re lying.”Before she could protest, his phone buzzed. Ethan answered with clipped
