A single tear slipped down his flushed cheek. His whole body shook violently when my fingers slid down to wrap around his throat. I could feel his pulse hammering like crazy under my palm.

“I’m sorry,” he gasped out, his voice totally wrecked. His hands clutched my wrist. He wasn't pushing me away. He was holding onto me like a lifeline. The big bulge in his trousers pressed tight against the fabric.

I pushed his head down until his hot cheek brushed the front of my trousers. “You belong to me now. You are my toy. My shadow. Say it.”

“Yes…” he whispered brokenly. His lips were parted, and his hot breath scorched right through my pants. “Anything. I’m yours.”

I tightened my grip on his throat for a split second. I didn't stop his air, but I made him gasp so he felt my total control.

Adrian’s chest heaved up and down. His eyes were wide and full of fear and dark obsession. [1]

"I’m so sorry," he choked out against my hand. "Noah, I’m sorry. I was an idiot six years ago. I was scared of what people would say. I have thought about you every single day since then."

"Shut up," I commanded. I pushed his head back roughly. He stumbled, his hands hitting the dirty floor so he wouldn't fall over. He sat there on his knees, panting like a dog. His hair was completely messy from my grip. He looked up at my thighs, waiting for my next command.

"You want to save your empire?" I asked, looking down at him coldly. "Then you belong to me. Every time I call, you run. Every time I command, you obey. You will marry Chloe Vance for the cameras, but behind closed doors, you are my plaything."

Adrian stared at me, his face totally pale. But I saw the exact moment his pride died.

"Yes," Adrian whispered. "Anything."

Right then, the heavy service door at the end of the hallway clicked open.

The bright, warm light from the ballroom cut a sharp line across the dark floor.

It wasn't Julian.

Chloe Vance stood right in the doorway. Her expensive diamond earrings caught the light. She stood completely frozen, her eyes wide with total horror. She saw her fiancé on his knees, his face inches from my crotch, his lips wet and shaking.

Chloe’s breath hitched loudly. She dropped her small clutch purse. The silk bag hit the floor with a soft thud.

"Adrian...?" she choked out. Her voice was shaking with shock and disgust.

Adrian snapped his head toward the door. His face went entirely white. He scrambled backward on the floor like a scared animal, his hands slipping on the dust as he tried to stand up fast. "Chloe! Wait, it’s not what it looks like! I can explain!"

I didn't let him finish. I didn't even look at his frantic face.

Slowly, I reached down and casually brushed a speck of dust off my black tailored trousers. I stepped right past Adrian’s shaking body and walked calmly toward the door.

As I reached the exit, I stopped right next to Chloe. She was staring at me, her chest heaving with pure rage and confusion. I gave her a polite, ice-cold nod.

"Excuse me," I murmured smoothly.

I stepped around her and walked out into the bright ballroom, leaving the heavy door to swing shut behind me. Behind that wood, I could already hear Adrian's frantic, pathetic begging turn into absolute chaos.

  • Once Rejected Twice desired    The Burning Tarmac

    Leo slammed his body hard against the heavy iron bar of the final security door. The rusty metal gave a loud, painful screech before swinging open completely. The cool, damp night air of the underground VIP parking lot hit my face, shocking my senses after the suffocating heat of the kitchen hallways. The space was massive, lit only by a few flickering yellow lights that cast long, scary shadows across the grease-stained concrete floor.Right in the center of the lot, idling under a dim bulb, was Leo’s sleek, low-profile black sports car. The engine was roaring with a low, heavy growl that vibrated straight through the soles of my shoes. The exhaust fumes filled the damp air with a thick smell of burning rubber and hot fuel. The passenger doors were already unlocked, sitting wide open like an invitation into the dark.Before I could take a step toward the vehicle, a heavy, wet hand slammed onto my shoulder from behind.Julian stumbled out of the dark stairwell, his face completely pal

  • Once Rejected Twice desired    The Running Dark

    The ballroom door behind us exploded open with a loud, wooden crash. The heavy shouts of the police officers echoed over the screams of the rich guests. Red and blue lights flashed wildly across the ceiling, turning the air into a chaotic trap. I didn't look back. I let the heavy velvet curtain fall shut behind us, plunging the three of us into the narrow, dim service hallway of the hotel kitchen.The air here smelled completely different. It was cold, smelling of old concrete, metallic grease, and heavy bleach. The bright luxury of the ballroom vanished, replaced by long rows of stainless steel tables and industrial sinks.Julian’s massive frame was right behind me. His breathing was heavy, rough, and uneven from the pain of his arm. His large, calloused hand stayed locked onto my waist, his fingers pressing hard into my hip bone to guide my steps. The hot, thick blood from his cut was still flowing, wetting my black silk shirt and gluing the fabric directly to my bare ribs. The wet

  • Once Rejected Twice desired    Left in the Dirt

    The heavy, white fabric of Adrian’s designer tuxedo jacket was soaking up the dark red pool leaking fast from Julian's forearm. The thick liquid spread across the pristine white cloth like an ink stain, turning it a deep, ugly crimson. But nobody stepped forward to save him. The wealthy guests just stood there in a massive circle, holding their breath, their eyes wide with shock. The same people who were laughing at Adrian’s jokes ten minutes ago were now pulling their expensive silk dresses back. They did not want the wet red puddle to touch their shoes. His fiancée, Chloe, had already run out of the room. His father was completely missing. The great golden boy was totally alone, knocked out cold on the hard floor, and his entire world was watching his absolute ruin.The hotel security guards finally rushed past the heavy velvet curtains. They did not drop to their knees to check his pulse or see if he was breathing. Instead, two large men roughly grabbed Adrian by his upper arms, dr

  • Once Rejected Twice desired    The Crimson Stain

    Adrian’s hand was shaking so violently that the silver blade of the pocket knife flickered under the bright chandelier lights. His eyes were wide, completely bloodshot, and rolling with pure madness. The security guards were shouting, and guests were screaming, scrambling over chairs to get away from our tight circle."I gave up everything for you!" Adrian shrieked, his voice cracking as he took a step closer, the tip of the blade wobbling inches from my bare throat. "My wedding is gone! My family is ruined! If I am going to hell tonight, Noah, you are coming with me!"I did not move. I did not blink. My heart hammered against my ribs, but my face remained completely ice-cold. I wanted him to see that even with a weapon in his hand, he was still nothing to me.But before the blade could even graze my skin, Julian reacted.With a dark, primal roar, Julian’s massive frame lunged directly in front of me. His broad shoulders completely blocked my view of Adrian. He did not hesitate for a

  • Once Rejected Twice desired    The Price of the Board

    The board of my company just voted me out.Elijah Hayes stood right in front of me, stepping back with a big, victorious grin on his face. His voice was dark and happy. "The board just voted you out, Noah. You came here to bankrupt my family. But while you were playing dirty games with my little brother in the staff hallway, I bought out all your investors. By tomorrow morning, you won't own a single cent of your precious empire."My phone violently buzzed in my hand again. The harsh vibration bit into my skin. I looked down at the bright screen. It was an official alert from my company's headquarters: Emergency board meeting concluded. CEO Noah Carter stripped of all executive voting rights.My heart gave a heavy, painful thud against my ribs. The shock felt like cold water running through my veins. Elijah had anticipated my return. He had planned everything. He let me humiliate Adrian just to distract me. He used his brother as bait while he cut the legs out from under my own busine

  • Once Rejected Twice desired    The True Puppet Master

    My body felt completely frozen. Cold sweat broke out across my back as I turned my head toward the very back of the ballroom. My eyes scanned past the whispering guests, moving past the expensive dresses and diamond necklaces, until they locked onto a man standing under the deep shadow of the mezzanine balcony.It was him.Elijah Hayes. Adrian’s older stepbrother.He was leaning casually against a thick marble pillar, holding a crystal glass of dark whiskey. He did not look like Adrian at all. Where Adrian was all soft boyish looks and emotional outbursts, Elijah was pure, cold calculation. He wore a perfectly tailored dark grey suit that made his broad shoulders look massive. His sharp, dark eyes were fixed right on my face. When he saw me look back at him, he slowly raised his glass in a silent toast. A cruel, knowing smirk stretched across his lips.Six years ago, I thought Adrian was the one who came up with the plan to humiliate me in front of the whole school. I thought Adrian h
