“Give me one reason, Liv.” He stalked toward me, cornering me against the edge of the desk. “One good reason why I shouldn’t bend you over this desk and fuck you senseless.” My breath caught. “This is wrong, Damon. So wrong.” I pressed my palms flat against his chest, trying to create space. “You’re my brother-in-law…” “Not yet, love,” he whispered, fingers curling around my waist possessively. “You’re still engaged to him, but the man you’ll be getting married to…” Two fingers slipped into my heat, making me gasp. “…is me.” I should’ve walked away. I should’ve resisted. But I couldn't forget what it felt like to be his. * Olivia have the perfect life. The perfect fiancé. Marcus is everything she thought she wanted—sweet, charming, dependable. Safe. She thought she have it all figured out... Until the night of her engagement party, when she comes face-to-face with Damon—her ex.

Feelings she thought she buried, clawed their way back to the surface. And the man she once loved? He isn’t asking this time. Damon wants her back.

Olivia; I was a mess. My heart slammed in my rib cage as I stared at the massive building through the car window beside me. “Come on, Olivia,” my fiancè, Marcus Kingston, said softly, and I turned to stare at him, his deep blue eyes trying to give me all the reassurance I needed, but I was far from being calm. “You need to relax, baby. You've been fidgeting throughout the ride. Barely even said a word.” “ What if they don't…y'know, like me?” My voice was low, but desperate. My other hand absentmindedly flicked the engagement ring on my left finger. A habit I'd grown accustomed to since Marcus proposed. Don't get me wrong, I love Marcus, but I just didn't know why I was this nervous. Maybe it was because I'd never officially met the Kingstons and I sure as hell had never been engaged before. "You're kidding," he chuckled, "our marriage is literally arranged by both families, Liv. I don't see why you should be this nervous." "I know that. But this is the first time I'm officially meeting them. I'm allowed to be a little nervous." "And I love that you care, baby. I do too. This shows that this is more than an arranged marriage." He smirked. “Yea, but...can we reschedule?” I took off the seatbelt and climbed onto his lap, finding his lips for a kiss. “We cant.” He wrapped his arms around me, chuckling. “It's our engagement party tonight, which happens to be the only day I get to see my complete family. My sister….” “.... haven't been home for years now, and my stuck-up brother, who never values family, will be there.” I finished for him with a resigned sigh. “Took the words right out of my mouth again.” Marcus smiled and cupped my face, “Really, you have nothing to be nervous about, baby. I'm here beside you. For better, for worse?” “Hey!” I hit his chest, laughing, “You're getting ahead of yourself, aren't you?” His lips brushed over mine slowly, “ It's only a matter of time. To me, you're already my wife. I love you so much, Olivia.” He took my lips, his fingers sliding into my hair as he kissed me deeply. The hand on my waist pulled me closer. I kissed him back. Hard. Pouring my worries into it, while his lips did their best to reassure me. Still, it didn't help to untangle the knots in my belly. I slid towards him, straddling him, my hips automatically grinding against him, wanting desperately to feel him. To get rid of this ache. "Here?" he asked, breathless, looking out the car window. "Baby, we're literally...." "Please," I whispered through his mouth. "I need this." We were in his car, outside his parent's estate and right now, I don't care. I just needed something to cling to. Besides, no one can see us through the tinted glasses from outside. Marcus pulled away slightly, and trailed kisses down my neck, sucking on the skin there. "Let me help you relax, then," he murmured against my skin, his fingers sliding under the hem of my dress, slowly dragging it up to my hips. The moment the fabric was bunched at my waist, he hooked a finger around my panties and tugged them aside. The cool air met my wetness, and I shivered—part nerves, part desperate want. Then his fingers slid between my folds. Slow and unhurried at first, teasing me. I let out a soft moan when he found my clit and began circling it, his other hand pulling me closer. “God, you’re so wet for me,” he growled against my lips. My breath came out shaky as I reached for his belt, my fingers fumbling. But once I got it open and unzipped his pants, his cock sprang free, hot and hard against my palm. I didn’t wait. I rose just enough to position him at my entrance, then sank onto him slowly. “Oh—fuck,” I gasped, my walls stretching to take him in. My nails dug into his shoulders as the pressure built inside me, pleasure shooting up my spine. Marcus’s head fell back with a guttural groan, and his hands gripped my hips tightly, guiding me as I began to move. I rocked against him, slowly at first, then faster, our bodies falling into a rhythm. Each thrust sent a jolt of electricity through me. My hands slid up his chest, gripping his shoulders as I rode him, chasing that high, needing more. The sound of our bodies slapping together filled the car, filthy and breathy. He met my hips halfway, fucking up into me from underneath. His lips found mine again, and I moaned into his mouth as one of his hands slid up to cup my breast, thumb flicking over my nipple through the fabric. “You’re driving me fucking insane,” he groaned, his voice ragged. But I was already gone. The knot inside me tightened, my thighs shaking as the climax built fast and furious. I clenched around him and bit down on his shoulder to stifle the scream that wanted to rip from my throat. I came hard, my body trembling against his. Marcus cursed and followed seconds later, pulsing deep inside me as he buried his face in my neck, breathing hard. Afterward, I slumped against his chest, still catching my breath as the silence in the car wrapped around us. Marcus brushed a kiss against my forehead, his fingers trailing down my spine with comforting ease. For a moment, everything felt still, like the rest of the world didn’t exist beyond this space, this touch, this man who wanted to marry me. But that peace didn’t last long. Reality crept back at the moment I looked out the window again, at the estate, at the people already arriving, and the soft glow of lights spilling out from inside. My stomach coiled. Marcus tucked himself back in and adjusted his shirt, then leaned in with a smirk. “Still want to reschedule?” I managed a soft laugh, tugging my dress down my thighs. “Let’s just get this over with.” We stepped out of the car, hand in hand. My heels clicked lightly against the pavement as we walked up the stone path toward the grand estate. The warm evening breeze carried the scent of flowers and expensive cologne, mingled with soft jazz drifting from inside. The lights from the hall spilled through the open doors. A handful of people were already inside, dressed to perfection, glasses of champagne in their hands, and laughter echoing through the space. I straightened my spine. Smile, Olivia. You’ve got this. Marcus' hold on me tightened in reassurance, "Don't worry. They're just old relatives. They'll be gone before you know it." Then I stepped through the doorway, my eyes flickering around. And everything in me froze. At first, it was just a flicker, out of the corner of my eye. A flash of platinum blonde hair. What...? No...It can’t be. I turned fully, and there she was. Standing confidently near the center of the room, dressed in a skin-tight red gown that clung to her every curve. She was smiling, her head tilted slightly as she chatted with someone I didn’t recognize. My fingers curled into fists. My throat tightened. I couldn't swallow. What the hell was she doing here?Chapter 8I tried to hide my disappointment and the way my heart rate increased. However, Wendy looked a bit ruffled, like she had just gotten out of bed herself. "Are you okay though?" I asked."I guess so." She smiled." I took some medication." I should be fine in a couple of hours. I just need to sleep it off, then I'll, um...have the chefs prepare something for dinner by the time you return."I nodded, "Take care of yourself."She went in.I turned my head slowly, eyes meeting Damon, who had a smirk on his face as he drank me in. The passenger door was open, half of his body leaning on the door.Something about him was off today."Get in the car, Peaches.""Please, don't call me that."His smile widened. "What? Peaches?" How was he so collected after everything that happened last night?"..no can do, baby." He said, "I can still vividly remember the Genesis of the name. How you ta--"I took fast steps towards him, enough to shut him off. He looked a bit amused, but I simply step
Chapter 7The moment I shut the door, I sank down on the floor and felt everything inside me shake.My breaths came out in harsh pants, and a hand came up to my chest, feeling it rise and fall frantically.This wasn't happening, right? I wasn't about to be swept into this again, was I? I had walked away from him. From this, he didn't even seem to realize the extent of his actions.I was naive, but I could have ended it all right then, but I held on.For her.It wasn't easy as everything, every path I took reminded me of him. Every pain I went through, the moment we parted reminded me of how blind and stupid I had been.And now this. Just when I was ready to move on.I tried to hold it in, but I couldn't. My body shook as I let the tears fall.My ears perked up as I heard the shrill ring of my cellphone. I should ignore it, but not when I knew the only person who would call me at this hour.So I stood, naked and on shaky legs to the dresser.I inhaled deeply and wiped my cheeks, "Hey G
Chapter 6Damon;Fucking Layla.I wouldn't mind taking Liv right here and right now, but with the horrified look in her eyes, I pulled away from her."We will continue this some other time," I murmured in her ears.I turned to see Layla standing frozen at the door post, her eyes wide with disbelief, as she stared at us.Deep down, I craved the satisfaction of the Intruder being anyone but her. Preferably Marcus. I'd have loved him to watch--to see the look in his eyes as I claimed his Fiancèe right in front of him. I would have loved him to know right now that she was mine first, way before he knew.Layla was hot on my tail as I stormed back to my room."What was that I walked into, D?" She sounded distraught. "Exactly what you saw, Layla," I said, just before I reached the bathroom door, "I am not in the right frame of mind tonight. So let it go."She wanted to protest, but I turned my back on her and headed into the bathroom, my head a mess.Layla shouldn't be here. But somehow, sh
Chapter 5Olivia;I was exhausted.The day had drained every ounce of energy from me. All I wanted was a hot shower and a bed—just a few hours of peace before tomorrow's chaos began.I slipped out of my dress, tossing it aside as I padded toward the bathroom.And then...The door burst open.I froze.There, in the doorway, stood Damon.His chest rose and fell like he’d just sprinted through hell. His jaw was tight, and his eyes— his eyes looked like they were about to swallow me whole."What the hell, Damon?!" I yelled, grabbing my dress and holding it tightly against my chest.Instead of leaving, he stepped inside, my heart dropping with each step he took.My eyes darted to the open door behind him. I was half naked. And....anyone could walk in. Anyone."You’ve got to be fucking kidding me," he said, his voice low and bitter. He was pissed, and... he'd been drinking. “My brother, Liv? Really?”He kept walking toward me. I kept backing away, inching until my back hit the dresser."Wha
Chapter 4Damon; Three years.Three fucking years since she left. Three years since she dropped the bomb, and my life became a goddamn mess.Coming to Rosecliff—my hometown, the same place I’d vowed never to step foot in again—was a last-minute decision. I shouldn’t be here. I had told them I wouldn’t be attending any shitty engagement, which, of course, would’ve been mine. Family traditions and all that crap. We all knew this marriage was blind to happen...for the merger, plus the many benefits I'd have gotten out of it, but what I didn't know, until this moment, was the identity of the bride to be.Now I fuckin wished I'd agreed to it. Fate really does have the shittiest sense of humor.It was hard to believe. Seeing her again. But it was harder to stomach realizing she was engaged to Marcus.The night gradually wore off, and while the few guests took their leave, I sank onto a couch in the living room, nursing a bottle of tequila.A few minutes later, and the entire family were
