TRISTAN

FIVE YEARS LATER

I’d spent every day, all this time, regretting it.

The burden of guilt never weighed any less. Each time I closed my eyes, I was tormented over and over again, without mercy.

By that soft, oval face framed with the most striking ginger hair. By those captivating sea-green eyes. By those lips that had tasted like strawberry and honey all at once. By that impossible music of her laughter. By those soft gasps and moans she uttered when I fucked her all night.

She was all

  • Ruin Me Once, Twice The Regret   ONCE BITTEN

    TRISTAN“How would you like to hear a juicy tale about your new partner?”My fingers tightened into fists and I fought hard to stop myself from grabbing Madison and flinging her out of my room. “You seem to have a personal vendetta against Laura Hayes,” I said instead. “It’s been five years and it doesn't seem resolved yet. Do you mind telling me what it's about?” She blinked, appearing surprised. Then she laughed hard. “Tristan, you're hilarious. How about I go ahead and tell you what she's done this time, instead? I’m worried about you because honestly, I don't even think you have a top model for Pierce Holdings anymore. I'm sorry, but that deal is pretty fucked now.”She slid off the bed and catwalked to the work desk at the far left end of the bed. Then she picked up her phone and stalked over to me. “Apparently, Laura Hayes doesn't even want to work with you. Did you know this before offering her a gig as a top model in your company?”“Stop moving round circles and tell me wha

  • Ruin Me Once, Twice The Regret   RUINED BY HER

    TRISTANThis woman is going to ruin me. It was one thought that had rang in my head all day, every moment I stood close to Laura Hayes, in her fucking absence too. The thought that she could ruin me and everything I stood for, kept resounding like a warning bell in my head. What was this obsession with her? Why did she have to be on my mind every minute of the day? If she wasn't on my mind, it didn't feel right. It was just one night we'd shared in the past. One night that had refused to leave my head and mind…one night that replayed in steamy flashbacks that disrupted my thoughts unexpectedly in the middle of important stuff. What had she done to me? Why couldn't I sleep without seeing her face? Why did I want to devour her each time she came close to me? What was this…hunger? I would be lying if I said it didn't bother me, how much she consumed every part of me. I was a man used to control. It was a core part of me in a natural sense, but when it came to Laura…I felt that con

  • Ruin Me Once, Twice The Regret   RULES AND TIME

    LAURAMy mother whirled upon hearing me, her eyes thickly lined as usual, burning into mine.“Look who it is,” she hissed, “the prodigal daughter.”I kept walking with the little confidence left in me, brushing past her. I'd built an armor so strong that her words never pierced through. But her eyes…they never failed to get me just the way she wanted. Squirming and in her control. “Where’s Jose?” I asked Ivy, looking around the house. “He's not back yet. I'm sorry, ma'am.” She hung her head. “I tried to make her understand that I couldn't let her into the house in your house, and without your consent.” Her voice dropped to a whisper. “But she's one hell of a stubborn woman. Pardon me.” She winced. “She insisted she had the rights as your mother. I thought it was awful, her approach.” “Thank you, Ivy,” I sighed, because she had a habit of rambling on when not necessary. “Please take Eli upstairs. I'll join him shortly.”As she turned and left, I blocked the doorway and glared at my

  • Ruin Me Once, Twice The Regret   VULNERABLE YES

    LAURA I ran my tongue over my bottom lips as I contemplated what to do with Tristan Pierce and these messy butterflies that were all over the place. I wondered what to do with the ache between my legs. I wondered how to get my pussy to stop clenching…doing that around something else instead would be a better idea…He just said we could do anything we wanted. Would it be acceptable if I climbed his annoyingly captivating face and rode his mouth until all the pent-up desire came crashing down in a terrific orgasm?I mean…that's kinda like the only thing on my mind now.He leaned back in the seat and watched me carefully, like a predator that knew what was the kind of its prey. “So, what do you want to do?” Look at him, edging me on. I should be the predator here. I stopped being prey a long time ago.I shot him a knowing smile, my body sizzling with heat as he matched it with a dashing smile of his own.Slowly, I dragged my heel down his leg and closed the distance between us. Swayin

  • Ruin Me Once, Twice The Regret   DOING WHATEVER YOU WANT

    LAURA Everything evaporated at the accusation in his voice. The butterflies. The heat of desire. Tristan's cold voice reminded me this was a business affair and not a fashion show for his eyes alone.I squared my shoulders and flicked my hair behind my ears. “I don't think you get to say that, you know. You put me in a difficult situation and ruined my schedule by moving the shoot time by two hours!” He arched his brow, watching me with a tick in his jaw. “I apologized.” “An apology doesn't cut it.” The photographer hurried in with the camera dangling from her neck. “Alright, are we ready?”Tristan turned to her, adjusting the lapels of his dark brown suit. “I believe so. Ms. Hayes,” he called without looking at me, “shall we?”Grudgingly, I followed behind him to the long steel table in the room, where the plaque sat. Tristan ran his fingertip along the body of steel, as the crew finished the last minute preparations. When his fingers began to trace the letters of my name, his

  • Ruin Me Once, Twice The Regret   HOW MUCH TO STAY AWAY FROM HIM

    LAURA“No.” The words slipped from my mouth in a firm syllable. Madison scoffed in disbelief. “Why?” “We're fully booked for the season.”She laughed. “You don't even know when my wedding is.”“We're booked from the whole year, Madison.”“I'll pay you generously.” It was my turn to scoff. “No amount of money you want to pay me will change my mind.” “And what amount will you accept to stay away from my husband?”I started to respond in the heat of the moment. Until I really registered what she said. And my jaw cracked with rage. “What?” The machines stopped rolling in the background, and the seamstresses let their attentions loose on us. Madison folded her arms across her chest and stalked over to me. “You heard me. Drop the partnership deal. Stay far away from my husband. I'll pay you whatever amount you name.” I stared at her for a long moment, then I burst into a soft laugh. Her face turned pale and she couldn't hide the sickness under that fake, repulsive smile anymore. “

    LAURA“I didn't do it.”I stared desperately from one face to another, hoping that someone in this room would believe me.But these people didn't know me, so why would they believe me?They didn't know me like Tristan did…yet he sat there, staring at me like I was a complete stranger.“I really did

  • Ruin Me Once, Twice The Regret   HATING HIM

    LAURA“Laura Hayes, you'll be working directly under me for the year.”The hall fell silent, and heads turned in my direction. I didn't move a muscle. I still stared in shock at the man that made me feel things I'd never felt before, last night.Tristan Pierce. CEO.What the hell? Didn't he say he

  • Ruin Me Once, Twice The Regret   FUCKING CEO

    LAURAI couldn't speak for a good minute. I just stared at him. Those midnight blue eyes were even more captivating from up close. His broad shoulders and sharp jaw line were more overwhelming and intimidating than I had imagined. His hair sat very charming and distractingly sexy on his head in lo
