DRACO'S POV

I watched the door click shut behind my brothers. Finally... Silence settled inside the private lounge, but it wasn't peaceful. It was heavy... suffocating.

She stood there with her arms folded, the corners of her lips curled into an annoyingly satisfied smile.

"What?" I asked, unable to hide the irritation in my voice.

She blinked innocently. "What?" she answered back.

"You're smiling," I pointed out, narrowing my eyes.

"Am I not allowed to?" she asked, her smile widening.

    DRACO'S POVI watched the door click shut behind my brothers. Finally... Silence settled inside the private lounge, but it wasn't peaceful. It was heavy... suffocating. She stood there with her arms folded, the corners of her lips curled into an annoyingly satisfied smile."What?" I asked, unable to hide the irritation in my voice.She blinked innocently. "What?" she answered back."You're smiling," I pointed out, narrowing my eyes."Am I not allowed to?" she asked, her smile widening."It irritates me," I admitted flatly."Then perhaps," she replied sweetly, "you should stop staring at me."I clenched my jaw. Impossible... She was absolutely impossible. Most people avoided looking me in the eye. They lowered their heads before I even spoke. Not this woman. Every answer she gave felt like a challenge. Every smile felt like provocation."You seemed awfully entertained by Daemon," I remarked, keeping my voice cold.She shrugged lazily. "He was entertaining.""He was flirting but he has

    SELENA'S POVThen he started to move his face closer to mine.Closer... close enough that I could see the faint scar running beneath his jaw, almost hidden beneath the dim light of the private lounge. His expression remained unreadable, but his eyes...Those merciless gray eyes searched mine as though they intended to strip away every lie I had ever told. If you step back now, you've already lost. I lifted my chin another fraction."If you're expecting me to be intimidated," I murmured, "you're going to be disappointed."His lips barely twitched. "I've noticed."For one suspended heartbeat, the room disappeared... only the impossible tension stretching between us. Then... three rapid knocks shattered the silence.Bang. Bang. Bang.The sound was followed immediately by the door bursting open. "Boss!"One of the Castellano guards stumbled inside, breathing heavily. "Boss, we've got a problem."Draco didn't even turn around. "What.""The east entrance." The guard swallowed. "There was an

    SELENA'S POVSilence... Not the comfortable kind, the dangerous kind. The kind that made every heartbeat sound deafening.For a long moment, neither of us spoke.Draco stood between me and the door, his broad shoulders blocking my only exit. His expression was carved from stone, but those steel-gray eyes... those eyes betrayed him.They were furious... not wild and not uncontrolled.The quiet, simmering fury of a man who had spent the last several minutes watching something he didn't like.I smoothed the nonexistent wrinkles from my crimson dress before looking back at him with a practiced smile."Well," I said lightly, "this is certainly a dramatic change of scenery. I enjoy your brother's company."He didn't smile, not even blink. Instead, a low growl vibrated deep in his chest. "Are you done?"I raised an eyebrow. "Done with what?""Flirting." His voice was clipped."With Daemon." He took one slow step toward me."With Diavolo." Another step."With Draven." Now only a few feet sepa

    SELENA'S POVHandle the four of them at the same time? A provocative question hung in the air, heavy and thick with the scent of expensive bourbon and the unspoken promise of violence.”Cat got your tongue?" Daemon said teasingly. His grin was predatory, his eyes scanning me as if I were a piece of fine art he was deciding whether to shatter or add to his collection. God, give me strength, I thought, forcing my pulse to remain steady despite the way my skin prickled under his scrutiny. This was the game. Push too hard, and I’d be crushed. Don’t push hard enough, and I’d be forgotten.I took a slow, languid step toward the low-slung leather sofa, my stiletto makes a tapping sound against the floor.I didn’t look at Draco...not yet. I let my gaze flicker to Draven instead, letting a playful, mocking light dance in my eyes. I bit my lip then batt my eyelids. Then I faced Daemon."That’s a bold assumption.... Mister," I said, my voice dropping to a velvet purr. "Most men can barely hand

  • Ruining Draco   CHAPTER 13

    SELENA'S POVThe moment I stepped behind the velvet curtain separating the backstage area from the main club floor, I understood why Crimson Inferno had become legendary among Italy's elite.The place was beautiful and utterly depraved... from the shadows backstage, I scanned the crowd carefully.Crimson chandeliers hung from the ceiling like drops of blood. Gold accents reflected across polished black marble while expensive liquor flowed endlessly between tables occupied by some of the most powerful people in the country.Politicians, businessmen, actors and celebrities... men who smiled in public and bought sins in private.My skin crawled. Women moved gracefully across the club floor wearing elaborate masks and glittering dresses. Some danced on elevated stages beneath shifting lights while others sat beside wealthy guests, laughing softly at jokes that probably weren't funny.Everything felt carefully designed, luxury wrapped around corruption. A kingdom where money erased moralit

  • Ruining Draco   CHAPTER 12

    SELENA'S POVI stood at the firing line, my posture rigid, my breathing practiced. The target downrange was a tattered mess of paper, but the center ring... the black bullseye, wasn’t just shredded. It was hollowed out.The instructor, a man whose skin looked like weathered leather, held up the target. Every shot sat clustered tightly near the center. Almost perfectly... he stared at the impossible grouping, his expression bordering on offended."She missed once," he muttered, his voice gravelly, pointing to a slight irregularity in the cluster.I winced, my grip tightening on the pistol. "Sorry."The instructor pointed dramatically toward the target. "She didn't miss."Silence followed, heavy and suffocating. The man turned to Alessio, who stood off to the side, leaning against a steel pillar. "That shot went through the same hole."Alessio blinked, his brow furrowing as he stepped closer to examine the paper. He looked up, his eyes meeting mine with a mixture of curiosity and someth
