로그인JADEN.Watching the woman I would kill for smile and kiss another man was torture.Having her alone with me, sealed in the same space, was worse. It stripped me down to instinct.I’d come here to talk. That lie didn’t even survive the first second I looked at her. And from the looks of things, our mouths won't be the only ones talking tonight. My cock had some serious conversations to have with her cunt. And it was eager to start the dialogue.I was rock hard.This woman could be the end of me.I kissed her. And fuck—nothing prepared me for what she gave back.It ruined me.Thank fuck I had locked the door when I walked in because the moment my mouth touched hers, something ugly and familiar snapped awake inside me.Ownership.The small sounds she tried to swallow—those broken little moans, the sharp breaths she fought to keep quiet—went straight to my cock. It throbbed so hard, heavy and angry, loaded and raging like it had a mind of its own.I gathered the black gown around her wais
CRYSTAL."What are you doing here?" I asked with venom in my voice.He didn’t answer immediately. He just stood there, both hands tucked into his pockets, eyes dragging over me slowly, like I was something filthy he hadn’t decided whether to discard or redeem.“Is this how desperate you’ve become?” he asked finally. “Letting him touch you like that. In public.”My spine stiffened. “You don’t get to speak to me like that.”He scoffed and stepped closer.I stepped back."You're truly now with him, huh?" He asked and took another step forward.I swallowed and steadied my voice, "Yes. I am. And it's none of your business, Jaden." I straightened my gown and attempted to leave, "Excuse me...""Why the rush?" He said harshly, and then his hand closed around my arm before I could walk past him.“Let. Me. Go.” I pulled against his grip, but it didn’t budge. Instead, he yanked me back hard enough that I stumbled, my body colliding with his chest.A gasp tore out of me before I could stop it.“B
CRYSTAL.“If I could, I wouldn’t be attending this party,” I said with a tired sigh as Noah pulled the zipper of my dress up my back.“God, you look so beautiful, babe,” he replied, completely ignoring my reluctance as he turned me around with his hands still on my waist, and his eyes dragging over me like he couldn’t quite help himself.“This dress... fuck,” he said under his breath. “It was made for you.”He had bought the dress on his way over. I had not expected it at all. It felt like a miracle, honestly, because I had no idea what I was supposed to wear to something like this, and asking Tessa for help would have only tightened her leash around my neck and given her another opportunity to insult me.“Do you know how lucky I am?” Noah murmured, his voice dropping as he stepped closer. “I am so fucking lucky. Having you. Being here with you. I don’t take that for granted.”He gently pressed his lips against mine, and I instantly felt the urge to pull away. But I remembered somethi
JADEN."This looks exactly like Bellamy's project. You could come up with yours. Something authentic, you know?" Charles Barron, SA to the president, said as he gently threw my files onto the table."Trust me. I've been working on this project for over two years now. It was meant to be discreet. Bellamy is the one whose project isn't authentic, I promise." I tried to defend, even though it sounded stupid.Charles and Scott threw each other an amused glance, and both chuckled."But from where we're sitting, yours is coming in two days after Bellamy's. And from what we gathered, he has been working on this project for over four years now, taking notes of the security lapses and systemic failures across federal agencies for years,” Scott finished, steepling his fingers. “Which makes his proposal feel… informed and intentional.”I leaned forward before they could close the door completely. “Studying lapses isn’t the same thing as building a solution. Bellamy documented problems. I enginee
AUTHOR'S POV."Fuck. Val. I'm close. Fuck!" Noah’s voice broke as his grip tightened on Valerie’s hips, his thrusts turning rough and impatient like he needed to break something.Sweat slicked their skin as the bed creaked beneath them.“Harder, Noah,” Valerie gasped. “Oh God—don’t stop.”He didn’t. He drove into her until they both reached their climax.Noah slid down Valerie's sleek body, lying beside her as he tried to catch his breath. Whatever heat had existed seconds ago was gone the moment it served its purpose."You get better at this every passing day," Valerie remarked as she stood up and walked into the bathroom.Noah stayed in silence, deep in his thoughts, when she walked back into the room after a few minutes."What are you thinking about?" She asked, picking up her dress from where they had flung it to the floor earlier."Nothing," Noah replied."I've made the transfer to your account. As long as you make me happy and keep that bitch away from my husband, you'll get a s
CRYSTAL.I slipped out quietly, feeding the men at the gate a harmless lie about needing some air. They barely questioned it.Jaden's car was parked just a few feet away from the gate.I was fuming with anger.The moment he saw me, he opened the door and stepped out.“What is wrong with you?” I snapped the second I was close enough. “You think you can threaten me and force me out here whenever you want?”“God, baby…” He reached for me immediately, his hands landing on my shoulders, his eyes scanning my face, my arms, my body like he expected to find blood. “I was so worried. I wanted to bring you home myself, but I—”“Stop it, Jaden.” I shrugged out of his grip. “Why are you here?”His brows narrowed, "I had to see you, baby. I was losing my mind."I scoffed incredulously, “So threatening me was your solution? You seriously thought that was okay?”"Baby... I know you're upset. You have every right to be. But let me explain," he looked rattled and worked up. I only see Jaden this way w
