Ava’s POV

The office feels different once Kael steps back not cold, not distant just… suspended.

Like the air itself is holding its breath with me.

His fingers are still wrapped around mine, warm and steady, but the rest of him has moved away. Not much. Just enough to force space between our bodies. Just enough to remind me he’s fighting something I can physically feel pulsing off him.

My pulse hasn’t slowed since he said it.

Control. What little I have left.

I’m not sure which scares me more that he’s losing it… or that I want him to.

He exhales, low and rough, like every second he stays close is tearing at him. “Ava,” he murmurs, “you should go home.”

The words sting, but the way he says them… like he’s bleeding while trying to hold the blade… makes my chest tighten.

“I don’t want to,” I whisper before I can stop myself.

His eyes snap to mine sharp, dark, burning.

“Ava…” My name is a warning. A plea. A disaster waiting to happen.

I should step back. I should

  • Irresistible Sin   Chapter 5

    Kael’s POV The office is quiet tonight. Too quiet. The kind of silence that sharpens every thought I’ve been trying to bury for weeks. The kind of silence that makes the mind drift to the one person I shouldn’t want. Ava. It’s almost nine PM. The rest of the building has gone dark, the last echo of footsteps fading hours ago. My executives are gone, the boardroom is empty, and yet she’s still here. Because I asked her to stay. Because I wanted her near me long after the sun had set and professionalism no longer felt like armor. She’s at her desk, typing quietly, head bowed, unaware that I’ve been watching her from behind the glass wall for the last five minutes straight. She’s focused. Innocent. Unaware of the storm she’s been causing in me. Or maybe she does know and that’s what makes her even more dangerous. I should call it a night. I should let her go home. I should stop crossing invisible lines I have no business crossing. But I don’t. Instead, I’m standing here li

    Ava’s POVThe elevator doors slide open with a soft chime, and for a moment, I just stand there breathing deeply, collecting myself, preparing my mind for another day shadowed by the presence of Kael Ravenwood.I tell myself I’m ready.I tell myself I’m composed.I tell myself I can handle him.But the moment I enter the 51st floor, the truth sinks in again: no amount of rehearsed self-control can protect me from the gravitational pull of a man like him.The Ravenwood Tower is always cold cold marble floors, cold walls, cold lighting but the moment Kael arrives, everything in this place feels ten degrees hotter. I feel it. My body feels it. My nerves feel it.And unfortunately, my heart feels it the most.“Good morning, Ava,” Maya calls softly from the reception desk, her eyes already flicking to the glass doors of his office checking if he’s inside. If he’s in a good mood. If the air is safe enough to breathe.“Morning,” I reply, though my voice is thinner than I intend.“He’s early

  • Irresistible Sin   Chapter 3

    Kael’s POVThe office was silent, except for the soft hum of the city outside and the occasional click of the elevator as it ascended floors I didn’t need to count. Night had fallen hours ago, but Ravenwood Industries never truly slept. Yet tonight, I didn’t care about the relentless rhythm of business, the weight of responsibility, or the ever-present pressure to maintain control. My focus my obsession was on her.Ava Delos Reyes. She had invaded my thoughts all day, infiltrating my carefully constructed walls of control. I had tried to suppress it, to remind myself that she was my secretary, that I held the power in this relationship, that rules and boundaries existed for a reason. But she had a way of unbalancing me, of bypassing my defenses without effort. She was magnetic, intoxicating, and dangerously unafraid.I poured myself a glass of scotch, the amber liquid catching the light from the floor-to-ceiling windows. The office was empty, save for her. I had requested she stay lat

  • Irresistible Sin   Chapter 2

    Ava’s POVThe first rays of sunlight seeped through the blinds of my apartment, casting golden stripes across the floor. My alarm had gone off hours ago, but I hadn’t moved. I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, replaying the events of yesterday over and over in my mind. My first day as Kael Ravenwood’s secretary was supposed to be professional, straightforward, and uneventful. Instead, it had been… anything but.Kael Ravenwood. The name alone carried weight. He was untouchable a billionaire CEO feared in the boardroom, admired from afar, and rumored to be ruthless in every aspect of his life. I had read about him, heard the whispers, and even prepared myself mentally to withstand his reputation for dominance. But nothing could have prepared me for the way he made me feel in person.From the first moment he had looked at me, I felt it was a pull I could not explain. Not fear, not admiration, not even respect alone. It was magnetic, undeniable, and dangerous. Every glance, every subt

  • Irresistible Sin   Chapter 1

    Kael’s POVThe city was waking, or at least pretending to. From the massive windows of my office, the early morning sunlight streamed in, painting the skyline in hues of gold and rose. It should have been peaceful, inspiring even. But peace had never been a constant in my life. Not when every corner of Ravenwood Industries demanded perfection, control, and unwavering attention. Not when every decision I made had consequences that could topple empires.And yet, today, my focus wasn’t on business.It was on her.Ava Delos Reyes. The woman who had walked into my office yesterday, unflinching, unbending, and utterly… intoxicating. She was supposed to be my secretary a position that demanded organization, discretion, and efficiency but instead, she had arrived like a storm I hadn’t anticipated. The way she carried herself, her quiet confidence, the subtle awareness in her eyes it had disarmed me. And more than that, it had stirred something I rarely allowed myself to feel.Desire.I pour
