(Dominic’s POV)

She sat beside me in the backseat like nothing happened last night.

Legs crossed. Spine straight. Hair up in one of those tight buns she only did when she wanted to pretend her control was real. Tablet in hand, stylus poised, that same damn calm, clipped tone she always used when she was trying to keep a professional distance.

As if I hadn’t fucked the fight out of her on almost every surface of my house. As if I hadn’t watched her come apart in my lap, nails in my back, moaning like she hated how much she loved it.

“As of now, you’re expected in the tenth-floor conference room by ten,” she said, flipping to the next screen. “Rosa confirmed the quarterly finance deck is updated. She wants time to brief you personally.”

I hummed. Noncommittal. Stretched my arm out along the backseat, fingers just brushing the curve of her shoulder.

She ignored it. Little liar.

Her voice didn’t waver, but I saw the twitch at her throat when I leaned in close.

“Keep going,” I said softly.

  • Ruthless Desires   Chapter 23 – "Control Slipping"

    Dominic’s POVShe wasn’t answering.Three calls. No response. No message.I stared at the empty screen for a second too long before shoving the phone into my jacket pocket. My jaw clenched. Something wasn’t right. I felt it—not in that casual, overthinking way. This was instinct. Sharp and immediate.I pushed back from my desk and stood, grabbing my jacket off the back of the chair. The numbers on the report Rosa had just given me blurred in the corner of my vision. Irrelevant.I stepped out of my office just as Andrew rounded the corner, a file in hand, eyes focused on the next task.“Sir, I—”“Where’s Anna?”He blinked, thrown off by the interruption. “She’s not at her desk?”I didn’t bother answering. I walked past him, toward her workspace.Empty.Her tablet was gone. So was her bag.Something in my chest went cold.Andrew caught up beside me. “She said she had to step out. Personal matter.”I turned slowly. “When?”“Around two, I think. She told me she’d inform you herself—”“And

    By the time I stepped out of the hospital, the sun had dipped low behind the buildings, setting the sky aflame in shades of coral and rust. The air had cooled, brushing against my arms like fingertips I didn’t ask for. I pulled my jacket tighter around myself as I crossed the lot, heels echoing softly against the pavement.It started again as I neared the car.That feeling.The crawl at the back of my neck. Like breath too close. Eyes on me from a direction I couldn’t find. I turned my head subtly, gaze scanning the parked cars, the shadows stretching long between them. A man in a suit. A mother lifting her toddler into a booster seat. A delivery driver.Normal. All of it.But the unease didn’t fade. It pressed tighter.I quickened my pace and waved down a taxi.It started again the moment I got in.That feeling.The crawl at the back of my neck. Like breath too close. Like someone was staring—unblinking, steady, just out of frame. I turned my head subtly, gaze scanning the sidewalks

  • Ruthless Desires   Chapter 21 – Shadows and Half-Truths

    Anna’s POVThe ping of my phone vibrated against the polished desk, drawing my attention away from Dominic’s schedule on the tablet screen. I expected a calendar update or maybe an internal message from Andrew. But instead, I saw the familiar name flashing across the screen.Nurse Ellie.A sharp jolt of anxiety fluttered in my chest as I swiped to answer. I turned my chair slightly away from the open office, angling myself toward the window as I pressed the phone to my ear.“Ellie?” My voice was low but tight. “Is everything okay?”“Hi, Ms. Rodriguez,” came her calm, practiced tone. But there was a smile behind it. “I just wanted to call with good news for once. Lily’s vitals have improved again today. Oxygen saturation is stable, her heart rate is calm, and her appetite’s picking up.”I released a breath I hadn’t realized I’d been holding. My eyes shut briefly, relief washing over me like warm sunlight breaking through storm clouds. “That’s incredible,” I whispered, my voice cracking

  • Ruthless Desires   Chapter 20 - Office Games

    (Dominic’s POV)She licked her lips as I pulled her upright, that same glint in her eyes—the one that said she knew she had me by the throat and she planned to keep squeezing.Not a chance in hell.I gripped her wrist, spun her effortlessly, and pressed her hands flat on the desk. My other hand swept everything else off—papers, pens, her precious legal file—like it didn’t matter. Because it didn’t.“You want to play dirty?” I said, crowding her from behind. “Let me show you what that actually looks like.”She glanced back at me, flushed, mouth parted. Still catching her breath. But I saw the way her thighs shifted, just slightly. She was wet again. Maybe still.I reached down, yanked her panties down in one motion. She gasped, stumbled forward on her toes.I caught them before they hit her heels. Brought them to my nose.Her eyes went wide. “Dominic—”I inhaled.“You smell like me,” I muttered. “And you’re going to smell like me all fucking day.”That stunned silence—that little momen

  • Ruthless Desires   Chapter 18 – Afterburn

    Anna's POVThe elevator doors hadn’t even closed behind us before his mouth was on mine.Hard. Hungry. Like the last twenty minutes of restrained silence in the car had been some kind of punishment he was done serving. His hands were in my hair, on my jaw, gripping like he didn’t trust the ground beneath him and I was the only stable thing in the room.I bit his bottom lip just to remind him: not yours to claim.He growled. Actually growled.And God, that sound did something to me.We were still kissing when the elevator dinged at the top floor. Still kissing when the doors slid open with the softest chime. He barely broke stride, dragging me backwards into the foyer, our mouths still tangled.His hand hit the wall behind me—slammed it—then both of mine were braced against his chest, but I wasn’t pushing him away. I was anchoring myself to the chaos. My back hit the plaster, and the sound it made was loud enough to echo.Didn’t care. Couldn’t.He kissed like he fought—reckless, focuse
