Chapter 36: His Sweet Silence 

last update Last Updated: 2025-07-30 03:22:40

My heart raced as I squeezed behind the door. Suddenly, the sounds stopped. Silence stretched for several minutes, but I didn’t dare leave my hiding spot. I held my breath, the pounding of my heart echoing in my ears until, with a soft click, the door unlocked.

The gentle sound of wood sliding over the carpet rang out. Steady footsteps approached the room slowly. I was ready to strike when I caught the scent of vanilla. I dropped the lamp, which fell with a dull thud onto the carpet. The door swung open, and Cassian appeared, looking at me in surprise.

“What are you doing behind the door?” he asked with a hint of amusement. I let out a relieved breath.

“I heard someone trying to force the door open. I didn’t know who it was, so I hid,” I explained between deep breaths. Cassian crouched, picking up the fragile object I’d chosen as a weapon.

“I don’t think a lamp would’ve done much damage,” he said. I huffed in irritation, snatching it from his hands and carrying it back to

    I wanted to ask more, to understand what Cassian was talking about, but the words died as he pressed his lips to my skin again, slowly trailing from my shoulder up to my neck. “You say you wouldn’t betray me, but I can’t trust you. I can’t trust anyone.” There was more than distrust in his voice—there was resentment, pain. “Who hurt you so badly?” The words slipped from my lips before I could stop them. The look Cassian gave me was impossible to decipher. He didn’t seem angered by my question, but it was clear I wouldn’t get an answer. I bit my lip, curbing my curiosity, and he smiled. His eyes narrowed slightly, his lips parting just a fraction. “I could answer, but first…” Cassian took my hand, lifting it to his face. The tip of his tongue brushed the inside of my wrist, warm. “Answer me honestly.” “I have no reason to lie,” I replied promptly, making his smile widen even more. “Then, if I told you that little punk has been deceiving you all this time, what wou

  • My heart surrendered to the Boss   Chapter 39: Explosive Feelings  

    All those doubts and fears were suffocating me. My throat seemed to tighten more with each passing second, blocking the air from flowing freely. I brought my hands to my neck, tugging at the collar of my pajamas as if that could help me breathe better, but nothing seemed to work. I looked up for help, but Cassian remained cold and distant, his back turned to me as I felt my mind darkening further. My teeth clenched, my chest searing from the lack of air, until, in a surge of extreme anger, I stood, raising my fist and striking Cassian, who turned to face me. “You…” I said, gasping for breath. “It’s all your fault!” I shouted with all my strength. “What did you say?” His low, hissing voice made me tremble for a moment, but I was determined. If I had to choose, I’d rather be killed by this man in this hotel room than return to the clutches of Diane and her son. I filled my lungs and stepped forward, standing face-to-face with Cassian. “You wanted to buy me; you dragge

  • My heart surrendered to the Boss   Chapter 38: Testing the Limits 

    This was going far beyond what I’d imagined. The closeness of our bodies, his voice in my ear, the heat of his skin, even the pulsing against the palm of my hand. So many sensations, so many stimuli, that my mind began to unravel. I found myself craving more of Cassian. My ears yearned for more of his voice and his crude words. My skin begged for the rough touch of his calloused, scarred hands. My hands trembled to trace every inch of his skin, following each scar one by one. My eyes searched his for the gleam of desire, pleasure, and lust that I so desperately craved. I arched my back, rising onto my tiptoes, trying to bring my lips to his, but he pulled away. I looked at him in confusion, and he merely smiled, tilting his head slightly. He was provoking me, testing me to see how far I’d be willing to yield. What Cassian didn’t know was that I’d already crossed all my limits and would give him everything—provided I could be sure he desired me as much as I desired him. My

    I pressed my hands against Cassian’s chest, trying to push him away, but to no avail. He was like a fortress, a brick wall impossible to move. I felt intimidated by him—by his invasive questions and assertions that left me utterly disoriented. Even if I wanted to deny it, even if my mind screamed that I should resist his advances, my lips seemed to disagree and act of their own accord. “I already told you, I have no intention of appearing as anything more than an ordinary woman in your eyes, sir,” Cassian growled, his silver eyes gleaming as I sensed danger radiating from them. Without warning or signal, he leaned in. One of his hands grabbed the fabric of the pajamas I was wearing and yanked it roughly, exposing my bare shoulder. His lips closed over my skin, his warm tongue sliding slyly before his teeth clamped down hard on my flesh. A sharp pain shot through me. I gripped his shoulders, pushing with all my strength, but he pressed me even harder against the wall wi

    A maid, spotting me sitting in the hallway, approached. The moment I mentioned I was with Cassian, her face paled, and she quickly opened the door for me. I felt embarrassed, yet grateful she’d appeared to let me into the room. All I wanted was to take off that dress and sleep. My mind was exhausted, my body ached, and my hormones were completely out of control. I considered a bath to calm down, but I feared Cassian might burst in suddenly, jumping to the wrong conclusions. “Honestly, I don’t have the strength to deal with that man. I’ll just change and lie down.” Luckily, the hotel provided pajamas and robes, but when I returned to the room and saw that single massive bed, my entire body tensed. I thought about sleeping on the sofa, but it was too small, even for me. I looked at the bed again, recalling how Cassian’s actions that day had been gentle. “I don’t think he’d force me into anything…” I touched my lips, still slightly sore from the kiss we’d shared in the resta
