Right there in the lobby. In front of dozens of witnesses. In front of phones recording every second. A hard, possessive kiss that was clearly meant to shut her up, to reassert control, to prove he could.

My jaw dropped. What the fuck was he thinking?

For a second, Maya froze in complete shock.

Then she exploded.

Her fist connected with his jaw with a crack that made me wince. Damien stumbled backward, his hand flying to his face, and Maya was already swinging again.

"You piece of shit!" Another punch, this time to his nose. Blood started flowing immediately, dark red against his pale skin. "You don't get to kiss me! You don't get to touch me!"

"Security!" someone shouted, but Maya wasn't done.

She tackled him to the marble floor, and I watched in horrified awe as my best friend proceeded to beat the absolute shit out of Damien Blackwood in the lobby of his own building.

Punches to his face, his chest, anywhere she could reach. He tried to defend himself, tried to grab her arms, but M

    Her face flushed red. "Alexander told me you filed for full custody of Lucas. You bitch."I laughed. "He's my son.""He was your son. Now he's mine. He calls me mom. Comes to me when he's scared. Asks me to help with his homework." Each word was designed to cut. "You're nothing to him anymore except a memory that makes him sad.""That's because you and Alexander have been poisoning him against me.""We've been telling him the truth. That his mother abandoned him. That she cares more about her new rich family than about him." Sophia smiled. "And you know what? He believes us."I wanted to hit her. Actually hit her. My entire body shook with the effort of holding back."You filed for custody," Sophia continued. "So now we're going to war. And best believe, Ivy, we will fight with everything we have. Alexander has lawyers. I have connections. And you?" She looked me up and down. "You have nothing except Vincent's pity.""Get out of my face.""Or what? You'll fire me? Go ahead. Try." She

    I didn't go to Vincent's office.I turned around and walked straight toward Sophia and Genevieve instead because I’m honestly done hiding and trying not to cause trouble, I needed to know exactly what they’re doing.They were obviously planning something and I definitely needed to have a counter attack, I needed to think like them and act like them, if not, they would trample all over me and ruin my life again.I would never allow it. Now when my son is at stake.My heels clicked against the marble floor loud enough that they both heard me coming.Good. I wanted them to see me. Wanted them to know I wasn't going to cower in my office while they plotted against me.Evil, pretentious bitches. For a second I wished all things were as simple as Maya would make it. Punch their faces, beat them up, make them eat sand and that was the end! But that didn’t work in a world like this, I’d be shipped off to a psych ward before I even blinked. This world worked only with evil brains and even ev

    My face burned. "I wasn't aware of that previous decision.""Clearly." Genevieve's smile was sympathetic. False. "Perhaps you should review last quarter's decisions before making new ones? It's important to understand the strategic context before approving budgets that directly contradict your father's established policies."Every person at that table was staring at me. Some looked uncomfortable. Others looked satisfied. Marcus, sitting near the end, was practically smirking.I looked at Vincent. Waiting for him to say something. To defend me. To explain that I was still learning.He said nothing. Just watched me with those cold, calculating eyes.This was a test. He was letting me handle it. Letting me sink or swim on my own."You're right," I said, keeping my voice steady even though I wanted to crawl under the table. "I should have reviewed previous decisions before making that approval. The marketing increase is retracted pending further review of efficiency metrics."Genevieve's

    Goodness help me today, my mind is definitely not in the right tracks I thought as I walked into Blackwood headquarters with my coffee in one hand and my dignity barely held together in the other. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Ares. Felt his hands on me. Heard the way he'd growled my name.And then I remembered the elevator ride this morning. Ilias's knowing smirk. The bite mark comment. The way Ares had looked at me like he wanted to drag me back to his penthouse and finish what we'd started.I needed to focus. Had to focus. Today was about work, not about my terrible decisions involving dangerous men who made me forget my own name.Patricia was already at her desk when I arrived. "Good morning, Ms. Blackwood. You have the budget review meeting in thirty minutes. Conference Room B."Right. The budget meeting. I'd prepared for this over the weekend before everything had gone sideways with clubbing and Ares and orgasms that still made my thighs clench when I thought about them.F

    I woke up with a headache and a very specific memory of exactly why my lips were swollen.Ares.His hands. His mouth. The way he'd looked at me while I came apart underneath him.I groaned and pulled a pillow over my face.What the hell had I been thinking? Oh right, I hadn't been thinking at all. I'd been feeling and wanting and giving in to something that was definitely going to make my life more complicated.My phone said it was seven AM. Monday morning. Time to face reality and pretend last night never happened.I dragged myself out of bed and into the shower, letting the hot water wash away the club smell and hopefully some of the tension still coiled tight in my body. It didn't work. I could still feel Ares's hands on my skin. Still hear the rough sound of his voice in my ear.Stop it, I told myself firmly. It was a mistake. A one-time thing. It's over now.I got dressed in a navy suit that screamed professional and definitely not "I had my neighbor's hands all over me last nigh

    Ares kissed me like he was drowning and I was air.His hands were everywhere at once. In my hair, on my waist, sliding down my back. His mouth moved against mine with a desperate hunger that matched the ache building inside me.I kissed him back just as fiercely. Grabbed his shirt and pulled him closer even though there was no space left between us. Bit his lower lip hard enough to make him growl.He walked me backward until my back hit the wall. His penthouse was dark except for the city lights streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows. I didn't care. Didn't need to see anything except the way his eyes looked at me like I was something he wanted to devour."Ivy," he breathed against my mouth. "Tell me to stop.""No." I pulled him back down to me.His laugh was dark and rough. "This is a terrible idea.""I know." I kissed him again. Harder this time. "I don't care."His hands found the zipper at the back of my dress. Slowly pulled it down. The sound was loud in the quiet penthous
