LOGIN“After you,” Jason said as he pushed open the suite door, eyes boring into Anna.
Anna's heart hammered against her chest. She slipped past him, the brush of their bodies sending a shiver through her. She tried to steady her breath as the room’s soft lamplight spilled across marble and velvet.
Strong arms wrapped around her waist from behind and she startled.
“Relax, Darling,” Jason coaxed, fingers sliding through her hair like he owned it.
Anna swallowed the lump in her throat. “No one can know about this. Not Elena. Not your brother.”
Jason tugged her back against him, grounded his hips into her and tugged at her underwear; the elastic material stretched and snapped back against her skin. Anna gasped.
“I know how this works, Sister-in-law.”
Heat prickled down her spine. Of course he would. Women probably lined up to be ruined by him. She told herself she wasn’t any different.
Just two reckless adults. By morning, they’d pretend none of this ever happened.
Jason caught her chin, thumb stroking her cheek as if he could read her thoughts. "Stop thinking." He brought her hands to his chest, steady, commanding. "Undress me.”
His eyes dared her to disobey.
He placed a finger under her chin, keeping their eyes locked. “Go ahead.”
Anna's trembling fingers worked the buttons, but her eyes dropped, greedy for a glimpse of taut, toned muscles that were being exposed.
Jason’s grip tightened, tilting her face up. “Eyes here.”
Anna swallowed, her tongue darted out and flicked over her lower lip. Her heart thundered so loudly she was afraid he would hear. He crashed his lips onto hers suddenly, a strangled sound slipping from her throat.
He sucked on her lower lip and she moaned into his kiss, parting her lips to let him in. His tongue slipped in, tangled with hers, staked his claim, and when he sucked deep on her tongue, Anna's knees buckled. She clutched onto his shirt just to stay upright as his hand grabbed the back of her neck, angled her head and the kiss deepened.
She rubbed her thighs together, helpless against the onslaught of his masterful lips. He bit her lower lip and tilted his head the other way, pulling her upper lip into his burning mouth.
She tried to breathe. Tried to keep up but he was like a hungry lion having its first taste of food in days.
Heat. Pressure. The taste of him. She was dissolving too fast to resist. She clung to him. Rubbed up against him. Desperate for his touch.
She couldn't breathe. He pulled her impossibly closer, his mouth sucking on hers like he wanted to swallow her whole. She shoved at his chest, in need of air, and he finally broke away with a wet pop.
Anna had just sucked in a quick breath, only to be swept off the ground like she weighed nothing, a yelp escaping her lips as Jason headed for the bedroom.
Her hands slipped beneath his shirt, greedily tracing the warm, hard ridges of muscles. Jason's fingers tightened on her skin.
His voice next to her ear was hoarse and thick with desire. “Careful,” he rasped. "Keep touching me and I’ll fuck you right here on the cold floor.”
A shiver shot through her, her nipples tightening at his words. Heat surged to her lower belly, wetness pooling in-between her thighs. As if having a mind of their own, her fingers danced over his shoulder, up his neck and to the hair at the nape of his neck. She tugged.
He stopped dead. He let go and she slid down the length of his body, every inch of him imprinting against her, every ridge and hardness. His hardness poked at her thigh and she froze.
Jason stepped away from her, shrugged off his shirt. “Strip.”
Her throat went dry at the sight in front of her. The six packs. The muscled chest. The hard, taut muscles of his shoulders.
Her hands trembled as they reached for the strap tie behind her neck. She tugged at it and in one fluid motion, the silk pooled at her feet. She stood there in her lace thong, bare skin, nothing else.
His sharp intake of breath washed over her. His gaze dragged over her breast to her mound that the thong did a bad job covering. Every part of her body his dark, hungry gaze touched, burned.
His voice was deeper than any she ever heard. “On the couch.”
She obeyed without thinking. She made her way to the couch and sank into the plush cushions.
“Spread your legs.”
She hesitated, biting down on her lower lip. A frustrated groan left Jason's lips and Anna jumped at the sound. Before she could blink, she was pushed back on the couch, Jason's lips over hers.
His hands grazed her nipples, and he shoved her thighs apart, settling between them. He took her breast into his mouth, biting, sucking, tugging until sparks shot to her core.
"Jason—" she gasped, desperate.
Pleasure jolted through her, straight to her pussy and she arched into him. His teeth grazed her nipple, fingers tugging, hard, at the other. An ache so deep bloomed in her pelvis, and her hip arched off the couch, searching. With a hard suck on her nipple, he pulled away.
Anna whimpered, reaching out.
“Wider.”
She obeyed, flushed and trembling, feeling the wetness soaking through her thong.
“Open your eyes.”
Anna's lashes fluttered and her breath caught as she met his hooded gaze.
“Sit up.”
She did.
“Watch me.”
She nodded, not sure she could speak. Her body pulsed with a need so consuming. She'd never felt anything like it. He ran a finger down her wet, hot length, through her flimsy thong, teasing, and her hips jerked.
“So wet for your brother-in-law,” he murmured, cruel and reverent at once, his fingers caressing her inner thigh.
Anna's pussy pulsed with need and she whimpered. “I— please—”
Jason smirked. He grabbed her thong and with one pull tore it off her. Anna gasped and then cried out as his finger flicked over her clit. She arched her hips, aching for him. He ran his fingers along her length, pressing down when he got to her clit. Anna's hands clenched and she shut her eyes, biting down on her lower lip.
Jason stopped his onslaught. “Eyes on me.”
Anna's eyes flew open, lowering to watch him. As if rewarding her obedience, Jason slipped a finger into her opening. Anna gasped, working her hips, desperate for more.
His eyes trained on her, Jason slipped another finger into her. And another. Anna's lips parted wider with each finger and her legs shook, her breath coming in quick successions. And then Jason began to move his fingers in and out of her.
In. Out. In. Out.
Anna's head fell back on the couch, her loud moans, and the wet sounds of Jason's fingers fucking her filling the room.
“Look at yourself,” he said roughly. “so fucking hungry for me.”
Anna's head jerked off the couch to watch him, rotating her hips against his hands. Jason's pace increased, his fingers curving when they moved deep inside her, hitting her spot, his thumb rubbing on her clit.
“Oh my god,” Anna whimpered, hips jerking off the couch as she felt the high roll in. “I—faster—please.”
Jason's fingers pulled out of her and she cried out at the loss, only to shatter again when his tongue replaced them. Hot, wet, relentless, a delicious feel against her pussy.
She gasped, grabbing onto Jason's hair as his tongue began to lap at her pussy, his hair rubbing against her clit, driving her closer to that cliff.
Jason hummed as he sucked on her pussy, his teeth grazing her clit.
Her head fell back, her grip on his hair tightened and she bit down hard on her lip, drawing blood. Jason swirled his tongue inside her and pressed a thumb against her clit.
Without warning, an orgasm slammed through her. Her cry pounced off the room, eyes shut tightly, her legs spasming around Jason's head even as he continued to tongue-fuck her, sucking up all the juices that spilled from her.
Jason pulled away as she slacked against the couch, crashing down from her orgasm. He knelt between her legs, tongue darting out to lick up her juice dripping down his jaw.
Anna moaned at the sight, running her fingers over his abs and chest.
“We're just getting started,” he murmured. He grabbed the hands roaming his chest and brought it to his fly.
“Unzip me.”
‘I believe in your vision, Mr. Knight. I see your works. I just don’t believe in your current state of mind.’The words had followed Jason out of the private meeting, into the elevator, into the suffocating quiet of his hotel suite, and now, the hotel bar three floors below.He raised a hand and snapped his fingers. Instantly, a server appeared before him, bearing another bottle of whiskey. It was the third bottle for the night. And still, he felt numb. The server replaced his ice, uncorked the new bottle, poured a generous amount into his glass, and grabbed the empty bottle before scurrying away. Jason dragged a hand through his hair as he brought the glass to his lips. The expensive low-lit hotel bar overlooked the city. Jazz played softly in the background beneath muted conversations and the clink of half-melted ice against whiskey glasses. Jason sat in a dress shirt with the sleeves rolled once, his tie gone and the top buttons undone. Exhaustion sitting on him like bruises.His
Anna woke to the smell of butter and something burning slightly. For a second, disorientation held her still against the couch cushions. Then her lower back protested as she pushed herself upright and everything from yesterday came rushing back at once.The exchange with Maya, passing out, Elena finding out about the baby, and drifting off to sleep on her shoulder right there on the couch. God.Anna dragged a hand over her face with a groan.“You’re alive.” Leah’s voice floated in from the kitchen.Anna blinked toward it to find Leah standing by the stove in one of Anna's oversized shirts while Elena sat at the island scrolling through something on her phone.Both women looked up immediately, and Anna instantly regretted waking up.“You should still be sleeping,” Elena said carefully, like she wasn’t sure where they stood yet.“I’m fine.”Leah snorted loudly. “Drink every time Anna says she’s fine and suddenly everyone dies of alcohol poisoning.”Anna glared weakly, her gaze flicking
Anna had barely slept last night. She barely remembered Leah helping her to the couch, or Helen knocking softly at some point during the night. Olivia had come too, hovering awkwardly behind her mother with worry written all over her face while Anna sat there emotionally flayed open, and exhausted.“Do you need anything, sweetheart?” Helen had asked gently.Anna had wanted to say yes; instead, she'd shaken her head. Olivia looked like she wanted to hug her, and Anna pretended not to notice. Elena never came back.That hurt more than Anna wanted to admit, especially after the raw words they’d exchanged. Everything had gone quiet sometime after three in the morning, but sleep still eluded her. Every time Anna closed her eyes, she saw Elena again. Heard her own voice cracking in the hallway. Felt the humiliation of falling apart in front of everyone.The sun had barely risen by the time she drifted off into sleep. By the time Anna dragged herself off the couch and toward the shower in
Zürich didn’t breathe down your neck. It didn’t demand anything from you. It didn’t hold onto things longer than it should. It moved forward… just like him.Or at least, just like Jason had trained himself to be.The floor-to-ceiling windows in his hotel suite overlooked the Limmat, its water cutting clean through the city. Evening had settled in, lights flickering on one by one along the banks, their reflections stretching across the darkening water. He stood there for a moment longer than necessary, a glass of Macallan in hand, untouched.He was supposed to have met the board yesterday morning—secure the first position before competitors closed in—but he hadn't been able to get his head in the right space. His insomnia had worsened over the past few days, and when he did sleep, he was tormented by different versions of that night everything changed—each one worse than the last. It left him irritatingly shaken and hollow when he snapped awake. It didn’t help either that during his w
Elena didn’t answer right away. She just stood there, arms folded, eyes scanning Anna like she was trying to force something into place that wouldn't fit.Anna bristled against her gaze. “Why are you looking at me like that?” “You tell me,” she said finally. “You’ve been avoiding me for days. Leah says you're not okay, and you look like the world turned on you.”Anna exhaled. “I said I wasn't ready to talk, Elena.”“I'm your sister. You don’t get to shut me out.” “I don't feel like talking to you!” Anna snapped, scooting to the edge of the couch. She pressed her palms to her eyes. “Do you know what I've been dealing with all day? I'm exhausted.” Elena didn't back down. She paced a step, then another, tension coiling in her movements, her eyes sharp with everything she wasn’t saying and everything she was about to.“Is this about Mum?” “Let it be, Elena.” “Why do you suddenly have a problem with me talking to her, Anna?”Anna sank back into the couch, pressing her fingers to her t
It had been four days since that day. Since everything ended between Anna and Jason, since she had confirmed she was carrying his child. She’d stayed away from work despite her suspension being lifted, trying—and failing—to be her old self.She had told Elena she wasn’t ready to talk. She told Leah she was okay on her own, and meant it—or at least, she meant that she couldn’t handle more questions. She had kept her distance from Helen and Olivia, showing up briefly before retreating back into her apartment. She hadn’t decided if she would let Dr. Alvarez be her obstetrician, and the thought of deleting Jason’s number was still a battle she avoided. She had read through their old chats, stopping herself from sending a message a hundred times. Carrying his child felt foreign, a constant, unrelenting reminder. And she hated the effects—the nausea, the tenderness, the dizzy spells no one at the hospital could see.Now she was back at work, and she was certain that had only made things wo
The room was graveyard quiet, all eyes trained on them. Anna could feel the prickling gazes down her back but paid them no heed, her eyes fixed on Jason's back. Cole shook his head. “This is not the time nor the place, Anna. You should…” Jason turned around then, and everything faded into the bac
Anna's gaze snapped to the blonde woman, her brows furrowing. Darling? Did they know each other? Her eyes returned to Jason to find him still looking at her. Her lips twitched and she took a step forward; the woman had to be a colleague or one of those women who flirted with powerful men, hopin
Jason and Cole didn’t make it back until Jason was being called to the stage. Whatever had happened between them had drawn a visible line—Cole was rigid, unreadable, his easy smile gone; Jason tightly controlled in a way Anna had never seen before.Anna watched as he walked up to the podium with th
The conference room smelled faintly of disinfectant and burnt coffee. Sterile floors, tired faces, institutional air. The blinds were half drawn, muting the afternoon light. Anna took the chair she’d been assigned, back straight, hands folded in her lap. It was her first time being a doctor under
