"You have until the count of five to decide," he adds, and I still stubbornly hesitate.

I was hoping I'd finally come up with a wise choice during his little counting spree, but the bastard completely catches me off guard.

Sighing in resignation, he declares, "Five."

Motherfucker didn't even count.

He turns his attention back to the steering wheel, ready to drive off now that he's obviously tired of talking. Then I shout against my better judgment.

"Wait!"

Fuck me.

I totally hate this, h

  • IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN   Hundred and sixteen: Who is she?

    "For real?""She is the CEO's wife?"They express their shock openly, barely able to process the news."I had no idea the CEO remarried. What a surprise," one of the women says, bewilderment dripping from her voice."I second that, Haley. I'm totally flabbergasted right now," another woman says, her eyes scanning my face.Actually, they're all staring at me right now. Only now, their expressions carry a look of surprise and importance since I'm obviously not the ordinary new employee they once assumed I was. I'm their CEO's wife.And they had no idea until now."This is his wife, for real?" Aiden asks, his question directed at Clara.Clara nods beside me. "Yup.""I didn't know..." He trails off, his eyes finding their way back to mine. I notice him taking in my appearance strangely as his gaze rests on my face. A pang of discomfort flickers through me."Well, now you do," Clara's voice jerks me from my thoughts. "Make sure to keep your eyes off this one. Don't say I didn't warn ya," s

  • IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN   Hundred and Fifteen: New girl

    I feel my cheeks catch fire when Carl leaves us.Going mute, my heart rate accelerates as I mull over his possessive claim just now. I'm torn between awe and confusion.Because goodness me. What's up with him and his assertiveness today?It's not like I'm not already familiar with how he likes to remind me that I'm his property every time, but shamelessly making it known to everyone in his company on my first day of work isn't what I signed up for.But I can't deny what he did just now was hot. Goosebumps spread across my skin, sensations blazing through me as I reminisce about the last sixty seconds.I glance in the direction of his office and see he's just settled behind his desk. He removes his suit jacket and rolls up the sleeves of his shirt, revealing two armfuls of sexy tattoos and an expensive gold wristwatch. He doesn't seem to notice that I'm staring at him, his focus lingering on the laptop in front of him.Despite his unawareness, heat crawls up my neck and I shamefully bi

  • IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN   Hundred and Fourteen: Meet the team

    I'm at a loss for words for a moment as I take in his smug response. In his mind, he probably—hell, no. Not probably.He certainly believes he's doing me a favor by allowing me to work outside his office, even though it's just a door separating both spaces.Annoyance swirls inside me, but I don't know what to do.Each time I voice my discomfort to him about something he's done, he presents me with a far worse option as a solution.Asking if I prefer to work inside his office instead is just a no-no.I think I'll manage just fine out here.Blinking off my daze, I glance at the cozy section again, then back at him before shaking my head defiantly. "No. I'm good... I think," I trail off skeptically.He notices my uncertainty and counters, "You think? If you're not okay out here, mi esposa, you can always let me know. I want you to work in a conducive space where you feel safe and comfortable."I'm surprised. But I know this is too good to be true.Narrowing my eyes with slight optimism,

  • IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN   Hundred and thirteen: Nuisance

    I think I was wrong earlier when I said being outside again isn't any better than remaining locked up in my room.After I step out of the car, I greedily draw in a lungful of the fresh, cool breeze blowing against my face, reveling in the bliss that flutters through me. I even shut my eyes briefly to savor the experience.Gosh, I can't recall the last time I felt so free. Even though my freedom is still limited and restrained, for the first time in a while, I feel alive again.I feel strangely content.And I feel like this is the dawn of a fresh start.But is it, really?A wave of sadness slowly washes away my delusions as I'm hit with my cruel reality again when I remember there's still an ankle monitor strapped to my leg. A reminder that I'm still under the intense scrutiny of Carl Sorrentino.So much for the dawn of a fresh start.I'm still stuck with this heartless monster; there's nothing like a fresh start here. It's more like the dawn of a new torturous adventure. And I'm not i

  • IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN   Hundred and twelve: Start afresh

    My heartbeat slowly calms from its violent pounding by the time I eventually regain my composure. It took every ounce of my self-control, but I pull myself together anyway, choosing to let the anger fade.Since there's not much I can do about it, I convince myself that he's not worth the trouble.Exhaling sharply, I cast a glance at the mirror to observe my reflection once more, and also the stunning necklace around my neck. A rush of thrill ripples through me, and excitement flickers across my pale expression.This is seriously the best gift ever since it easily lifted my spirits with the knowledge that I still have it on.Anyway, recalling that my husband is downstairs waiting for me and the warning he gave me that I shouldn't waste any more of his time, I move away from the mirror and head over to grab my Birkin handbag from the table where I placed it earlier.There's not much to carry along since I'm a newbie who knows absolutely nothing about the role of a secretary.So without

  • IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN   Hundred and Eleven: Are you nervous?

    When his order hits me, I almost lose my footing, but I regain my stance.I'm slightly trembling when I eventually give him my back after a moment of reluctance. My heart pounds erratically with anxiety, and I have to ball my hands into fists to regain my composure.It feels surreal, what's currently happening, so you can't blame me for my reaction.I didn't for a second think Carl could be... I don't even know what to call it. This man tends to surprise me every time with a new emotional trait.Staring at our reflection in the mirror in front of us, his frame towers behind mine. His gaze is fixated on my neck, and I can't help the gulp that passes down my throat when I notice that look of lust in his expression.I might be mistaken since he hardly shows emotion. But the way his gaze is trailing down my neck right now, you'd think he's contemplating whether to plaster a hickey across my skin, to let everyone else know that I am taken. Or better still, that I am his wife, as he always

  • IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN   Twenty Two — Jayden is speaking again

    I stir awake from slumber the following morning to the familiar smell of coffee and toast. Ava's doing, no questions asked. And I need no soothsayer to tell me she’s the lingering presence I feel around my bed. I can literally feel her gaze drilling into my face. While I didn’t want to open my e

    WHITNEYI squeeze the key in my palm — the same key Devin gave me three days ago — trying to calm my fraying nerves.I've been feeling this way since my last meeting with Devin. Since I agreed with his plan to take down Carl once and for real. I should feel motivated that I have a reliable accompl

  • IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN   Six — Still trapped in a childhood trauma

    Gosh, I hate myself for this.I hate how much his intoxicating presence is affecting me right now.Against my will, my gaze lowers with dread as I'm unable to look him in the eyes anymore. My knees weaken as my mind replays the nightmare I had of Carl having his fingers scissoring me open.How I mo

  • IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN   Five - Cornered

    "They're lying to you... Don't listen to them!" I scream at the top of my lungs as I approach the receptionist with fright.Considering my unexpected outburst and the way she's staring at me with confusion right now, she probably thinks I've lost it.Concern lines her brows as she takes me in.
