Elena's Point of View I stood in the middle of the lawn and watched his taillights shrink down the street until they turned the corner and disappeared. The rain was still pouring, and I couldn't even feel it. My sweater was stuck to my skin, my hair was dripping into my eyes, and my wrist still stung where he had grabbed it. I just stood there with my mouth half open, staring at the empty road like he might come back and explain himself. He didn't. What the hell just happened? Ten minutes ago I was sitting on my parents' couch, laughing at my dad doing the bear voice in Amelia's story. Now I was standing outside in a storm because a grown man had dragged me across a lawn, screamed in my face, and told me to pack my daughter's bags. Then he'd laughed, actually laughed, and driven off like he had just won something. I kicked the grass, which accomplished nothing except soaking my shoe. "Arrogant, stupid, impossible..." I couldn't even finish the sentence. I turned and stomped bac

Damien's Point of View The rain was coming down so hard the wipers couldn't keep up, and I didn't give a shit. I had the gas pedal pressed to the floor and both hands choking the steering wheel. Red lights, I ran them. Cars honked, I ignored them. Somewhere behind me a horn blared for a full ten seconds, and I just kept going, because my head was a goddamn furnace and the only thing I could hear was that bastard's voice. By Christmas, she'll be calling me Daddy. I didn't remember crossing the conference room. One second I was standing there, and the next my fist was in his face. I felt his nose crunch under my knuckles, and it felt so fucking good that I swung again before he even hit the floor. Chairs went over. Papers flew everywhere. Somebody was screaming, probably Vanessa, and then four of my guards grabbed me by the arms and hauled me backward like I was a rabid dog. And that asshole just sat there on my carpet, blood pouring down his chin, and smirked at me. Smirked. I s

Damien's Point of ViewI was in the middle of reading a revised licensing agreement when I smelled her perfume.Vanessa had a habit of walking into my office without knocking. She was twenty-six, with long dark hair, red lipstick, and a pencil skirt that got shorter every month. She had been my assistant for eight months, and for seven of those months she had been trying to get me into bed. She did it with small things. A button left open on her blouse. A coffee delivered with her fingers brushing mine. Staying late for no reason and asking if I needed "anything at all."I had never once answered her."Mr. Cross." She came around the side of my desk and set a folder down right in front of me, leaning forward so her hair fell over her shoulder. "Mr. Kingston is here. He's in the conference room. I offered him a drink, but he said he'd rather wait for you." She tilted her head and smiled. "You look tense. If you want, I can stay after the meeting and help you relax."I didn't look up

Elena's Point of View The restaurant was the kind of place I had only ever seen in magazines. It sat on the top floor of a tall glass building downtown, and when the elevator doors slid open, I actually stopped walking. The whole room glowed with soft gold light, with tiny candles on every table and a wall of windows that looked out over the entire city. Waiters in black vests moved between the tables without making a sound. A man in the corner was playing a piano so softly that it felt like part of the air. Everything smelled like money. Fresh flowers, polished wood, expensive perfume, and something rich and buttery coming from the kitchen. I had worn my best dress, and I still felt like a girl who had wandered in by mistake. "Is this okay?" Aden asked, his hand resting lightly on the small of my back. "I wasn't sure what you liked, so I picked the place I always go when I want to impress someone." "You're definitely impressing me." "Good. That was the plan." The host greeted

Elena's Point of View My phone buzzed while I was folding laundry on my bed, and I almost ignored it. Then I saw the name on the screen, and my hands stopped. Aden. I picked it up so fast that I dropped a sock. The message was short, but I read it three times anyway. Hey Elena. I know it's only been a few days, but I've been thinking about our talk at the wedding. Would you let me take you to dinner tomorrow night? No pressure, I promise. Just good food and better company. Heat shot straight up my neck and into my cheeks. I put my free hand against my face, as if someone might walk in and see it, and sat down on the edge of the bed with the phone in my lap. My heart was doing something silly and fluttery that I hadn't felt in years. It's just dinner, I told myself. You eat dinner every day. But it wasn't just dinner, and I knew that. It was a man with blond hair and blue eyes asking me out, a man who had looked at my daughter's photo and smiled instead of running away. A man who

Elena's Point of View He turned his head slowly, and I knew right away that something had changed. It was the look. The same one I had seen across a boardroom table for two years, flat and cold, with the eyes narrowed and the jaw set like stone. It was the look he gave people who made mistakes. The look he gave me in that lobby. For the past few days, I had almost forgotten he could make it, and now it was pointed straight at my face as if nothing had ever happened between us. "Excuse me?" he said. "You heard me. You've been talking to my daughter for two hours. You laughed with her, you joked with her, you even called my father. You haven't said a single word to me. So I'm asking, what's your problem?" "My problem?" A short, dry laugh came out of him, with no humor in it at all. He leaned back on one hand and looked me over, slowly, from head to toe. "You tell me. You were the one who sat in the corner of the car with your arms crossed like I was going to bite you. You were th
