VERITY

Margaret was at her station.

When the heavy glass door opened, her head jerked up and swept her eyes from my face down to my neck, lingering on the dark marks rising above the silk collar, then dropping to the tailored clothes she knew I hadn't arrived in.

Her face drained of color before hardening into pure, frigid disgust.

"Miss Monroe." Her tone dripped with malice. "Mr. Sutherland specifically stated you were on leave today."

"Plans change," I replied, keeping my chin level as I walk

    "Miss Monroe." Her voice dripped with ice. "The reception area is not a dining lounge. If you insist on parading your presence around this floor, take your trash to your own desk."I leaned forward, planting both hands flat on her leather blotter.The proximity forced her to shrink back into her heavy chair.Up close, without the safety of her computer monitor separating us, she could see the split seam of my lower lip, the dark rings beneath my eyes, and the absolute lack of hesitation in them."I know what you did, Margaret," I said, my voice low and smooth.Margaret’s jaw tightened, a tiny hitch catching in her throat before she recovered. "I have no idea what you're—""Don't insult my intelligence!" I cut in, leaning down an inch further until she was trapped in my shadow. "I heard you whispering into your receiver all morning, making sure the lower levels knew exactly what I was wearing and where I spent the night. You practically sent an engraved invitation to Chloe and her litt

    VERITYMargaret was at her station.When the heavy glass door opened, her head jerked up and swept her eyes from my face down to my neck, lingering on the dark marks rising above the silk collar, then dropping to the tailored clothes she knew I hadn't arrived in.Her face drained of color before hardening into pure, frigid disgust."Miss Monroe." Her tone dripped with malice. "Mr. Sutherland specifically stated you were on leave today.""Plans change," I replied, keeping my chin level as I walked toward my desk.Every step sent a sharp ache through my core, but I gritted my teeth, refusing to let it show.I sat at my workstation, opened my terminal, and forced my shaking hands on the keyboard.The time on my monitor read 11:15 AM.A mountain of deposition transcripts and unread legal briefs was waiting for me. I pushed the hollow ache in my chest down, funneling every ounce of my focus into the screen just to survive the next hour.By 12:30 PM, the silence on the executive floor was s

  • His Dark Asset (R18)   CH.50

    VERITYI woke to a cold bed and the searing physical inventory of what we had done.The ache wasn't the dull soreness of our earlier skirmishes. This was a deep, localized heat that flared with every breath.My inner thighs burned. My hips throbbed where his fingers had dug down to the bone. On my left shoulder, the crescent of his teeth felt swollen and hot.I sucked in a sharp breath, blinking at the pale morning light cutting through the floor-to-ceiling windows.The space beside me was empty and the dark linen had long since cooled.On the nightstand sat a tall glass of water and a black plastic keycard.I pushed myself upright. Every muscle in my abdomen and pelvis locked in a tight, punishing spasm.I was swimming in one of his white dress shirts, the collar hanging off my collarbone, the cotton smelling faintly of cedar and sweat.I hauled myself off the mattress. The moment my bare feet hit the floor, my knees buckled.I caught the edge of a heavy mahogany dresser before I cou

    ADRIANSilence was usually his sanctuary. Tonight, it felt like an interrogation.Adrian sat on the edge of the mattress, forearms resting heavily on his knees, staring down at the woman unconscious in his bed.Verity hadn't stirred in an hour. Her breathing was shallow, a faint, rhythmic rise and fall on the dark charcoal sheets, making the marks across her pale skin stand out in brutal contrast.His hands shook.Adrian clenched them into fists, driving his fingernails into his palms until the sharp bite of pain broke through the static in his head.It did nothing to drown out the reality of what he'd just done.He'd lost control.His gaze swept over the evidence of his own savagery.This hadn't been about asserting authority.Adrian hadn't used that room to maintain control. He'd taken her because she'd stood in his office, bared her teeth, and stripped away every illusion he'd spent two years building.She'd seen right through the circus with Isabelle. She'd called him a coward, an

    The bench creaked violently with each thrust, the chains rattling above me in a manic rhythm that matched my racing pulse.The sound mixed with my cries, his harsh breathing and the wet slap of skin on skin, creating a symphony of destruction in the red room that would haunt me forever."I'm going to destroy you," Adrian growled.His skin glistened with sweat in the dim red light, his muscles flexed and rippled with each powerful thrust, like a weapon designed to break me."Break you completely." He gave another brutal thrust that tore a scream from my throat and made my vision white out for a moment. "Rebuild you as mine.""Try it!" My throat felt raw from screaming. "I dare you."His other hand moved up, sliding over my sweat-slicked ribs, feeling each one as he traced upward, before wrapping around my throat from behind.His palm was hot and damp as his fingers pressed into the sides of my neck, finding the pressure points.The pressure built quickly, cutting off my air supply with

    Adrian shifted his weight, and the new angle drew a fresh scream from my throat.My breasts smashed into the bench with each impact until my nipples felt raw from the friction.The sweat pooling at the small of my back made every touch, every movement feel amplified.I tried to pull my mind out of my body, to escape, but he was everywhere. Inside me, above me, wrapped around me, branding me with his hands, teeth and cock.I could feel his pulse, the hot, steady hammer of his heart, and in a moment of clarity I wondered if I could time my breaths to it, use it to predict his rhythm, regain some scrap of control."You're a monster." My voice was shredded, barely more than a rasp. "You're not even human."Adrian didn't deny it. He grinned, baring his teeth, and pressed his mouth to my ear."You made me this way."I almost laughed. Instead, I spat blood onto the bench, all the defiance I could muster, and promised myself I'd kill him if he ever untied me.Adrian seemed to sense the though
