RUTHLESS TEMPTATION Chapter 48
The secrecy was what made it even hotter. Over time, Jace and Aiden slipped into a rhythm of stolen touches and hidden moments, their affair tucked carefully between the hours of normal life. Every date was disguised, every kiss stolen where no one could see, every time they fell into bed together cloaked in silence. It wasn’t just the secrecy that tied Jace to Aiden it was how sweet it felt. The way Aiden looked at him as if he were the only man alive. The way he touched him with care, like he was precious. It was different from Elias, terrifyingly so. With Elias, Jace burned. With Aiden, he melted. But still, he could not let go of either. His mind went the night him and aiden went camping, the air smelled of pine and smoke. Aiden had insisted they needed to “get away from the city,” and Jace had gone along, knowing it would be little more than a quiet night under the stars. The stillness of the woods pressed in, amplifying every sound. Jace’s laugh when Aiden kissed his neck.
RUTHLESS TEMPTATION Chapter 47
The office buzzed with its usual rhythm, keyboards clacking, phones ringing, and the low hum of conversations blending into the static of another workday. Jace tried to drown himself in it, burying his guilt beneath numbers and tasks that never seemed to end. But his chest remained tight, his pen trembling slightly in his grip as if the simple act of writing required more effort than it should. A sharp sound of someone clearing their throat drew his head up. Aiden stood at his desk, casual as ever, dressed in a black shirt rolled at the sleeves, a grin tugging at his lips. “Some of us are going out after work,” Aiden said, his voice smooth, deceptively light. “Movie night. You should come.” Jace hesitated, his pulse quickening. He should not. He knew he should not. But the thought of escaping his own mind for a few hours was tempting. And it was not like it would be just the two of them. With friends around, Aiden could not corner him into another conversation about second chan

The fluorescent lights above the supermarket buzzed faintly, their glare spilling down over rows of neatly stacked boxes and bags. Jace’s hand trembled as he reached for a carton of milk. He stared at it too long, as if the white plastic held answers, as if focusing on something so ordinary might drown out the storm that was tearing him apart inside. Elias knew. The thought made his chest clench until he could hardly breathe. Elias had known all along. His fingers tightened around the handle of the shopping cart. It squeaked as he pushed it forward, the sound loud, unbearable, grating against the silence of his panic. How long had Elias known? Since the beginning? Since that first night in the bar? Or when Jace had spilled a drink on him like a nobody? And worse... what else did he know? Jace’s pulse hammered. Did Elias know about the nights with Aiden? He gritted his teeth and shoved a box of cereal into the cart. He did not even glance at the price. His hands moved o
RUTHLESS TEMPTATION Chapter 45
Jace had not expected the message from Elias. He sat in the cab for a full minute after it pulled into the wide circular drive of the Crane mansion, staring up at the looming house. It had been weeks since he had last set foot here. Jace’s pulse was a mess in his throat as he climbed out and paid the cabman, he headed towards the entrance each step echoing louder than it should. The door opened before he had the chance to knock. Elias stood there, shirt sleeves rolled to his forearms, eyes shadowed in a way that made Jace’s stomach twist. He looked tired, wrecked almost. “Come in,” Elias said, his voice rough, low, dangerous. The moment Jace crossed the threshold, the air changed. He thought he would have at least a second for pleasantries, maybe an explanation for why he was summoned. He got none of it. Elias closed the door, locked it, and in one stride had his hand at the back of Jace’s neck, pulling him in. The kiss was searing. No hesitation, no soft testing of boundaries.
RUTHLESS TEMPTATION Chapter 44
The morning sun filtered through the tall windows of Elias’s apartment, but he barely felt it. The light pressed against his eyelids, too sharp and too demanding. He rolled onto his back and let out a heavy breath. Every muscle in his body weighed down as though he had been carrying boulders in his sleep. Work waited—emails, contracts, endless meetings—but the thought of stepping into Crane Corp today felt impossible. He wasn’t sick. Just tired. Bone... deep... tired. So he stayed in bed. He stared up at the ceiling, tracing the sharp lines of the moulding above him, and tried not to think about Jace. But his mind betrayed him the way it always did lately, dragging him back into memory... into sweat, heat, and tangled sheets. The man that only his name alone was enough to make Elias’s chest ache. It had started as a fling, and then it moved to a spark he had pretended to ignore. Then it became a pull he could not escape. He had not meant for it to happen, but the more time he
RUTHLESS TEMPTATION Chapter 43
The office air felt heavy that morning, and Jace could hardly breathe beneath it. He had been buried in spreadsheets for hours, though none of the numbers registered. His pen tapped against the desk in a restless rhythm, his leg bouncing under the table as if his body needed to move before his thoughts caught up. The coffee at his side had long gone cold, untouched, and yet his pulse beat erratically as though he had swallowed pure caffeine. He had spent the entire day dodging corners, slipping down different hallways, refusing to step into the cafeteria. He even lingered longer than usual in the copy room, staring at the machine as though waiting for it to spit out salvation. All of it was a desperate attempt to avoid...him. Aiden. The name alone tightened his chest. Every time Jace blinked, flashes of that night seared through him, the heat of Aiden’s mouth, the rough grip of his hands, the press of his body pinning him down. The reckless abandon of skin against skin, the way sur
