“I don’t understand,” I whispered, heart thudding wildly. “What do you mean I’m yours?”
“Exactly what we said,” Asher replied smoothly, his eyes locked on mine like he could see straight through me. “We’ve always wanted you. And now… you’re here.” A slow heat curled inside me at his words. The thought that my billionaire bosses—cold, untouchable, larger-than-life—had secretly wanted me? That they had watched, waited, craved? It sent a pulse of electricity through every nerve. “But you guys were so rude to me,” I blurted out, suddenly remembering the endless glares, the clipped commands, the cold walls they’d built around themselves. “You were harsh. All the time.” “We had to be,” Alex said, stepping closer, his voice velvet-dark. “We have a strict policy: no mixing pleasure with business. If we’d touched you then, we wouldn’t have stopped. And we couldn’t fire you either—because, believe it or not, you’re the best assistant we’ve ever had.” His words sank in slowly. My lips parted, caught somewhere between flattered and overwhelmed. “So… this thing between us?” I asked, breath catching. “How would it even work? I’ve never been with more than one man at a time.” Their twin smirks could’ve melted glaciers. “Then let us show you,” Asher said, his voice a delicious promise. “H—” I started to speak, but Alex gently pressed two fingers to my lips. “Shh,” he whispered, gaze intense. “No more talking. Just feel.” Then his mouth captured mine. Hot, commanding, and oh-so-consuming. The kiss ignited something inside me—something wild and long-caged. His lips moved with purpose, teasing, tasting, claiming. And just when I thought I couldn’t breathe, I was pulled away—straight onto Asher’s lap. He didn’t hesitate. His hand cradled the back of my head, tilting me toward him as his mouth found mine, slower but deeper, filled with restrained hunger. His fingers spread across my lower back, stroking my spine, grounding me, burning me. My mind spun. I was floating between them—kissed, touched, adored. “Relax,” Asher murmured, gently laying me down on the plush fur rug in front of the fireplace. The flames flickered beside us, casting golden light over everything. “Do you trust us?” Alex asked, kneeling beside me. His fingers brushed a stray strand of hair from my cheek. I swallowed hard… and nodded. That was all they needed. In seconds, their hands were on me—undoing buttons, slipping fabric from my shoulders, unzipping, tugging. Every movement was reverent, like they were unwrapping something precious. Soon, I was lying bare beneath them, the cool air brushing my flushed skin. Instinctively, I moved my hands to cover myself, shame flickering like a shadow. “Don’t hide your body,” Asher said, voice husky with emotion. “You’re perfect.” “Let us worship you,” Alex added, kissing the inside of my wrist. “All of you.” Their hands returned, smoothing down my thighs, my stomach, my breasts. Every inch of me was kissed, caressed, adored like they’d waited a lifetime for this. Asher kissed a trail down my collarbone while Alex captured my lips again, one hand cradling my cheek, the other exploring my waist like he was memorizing me. I gasped when Asher’s mouth reached the inside of my thigh, his stubble grazing my skin. My hips arched involuntarily, and Alex groaned softly at the sight. “You’re so responsive,” he murmured against my ear. “So beautiful like this.” My head tilted back, a moan escaping before I could stop it. Their touches, mouths, and bodies pressed against mine were too much. And not enough. They took their time, whispering things in my ears, lips brushing my skin like silk, as if they had nowhere else to be but here, loving me. And as the fire crackled beside us, I realized something: This wasn’t just lust. This was possession. And I was utterly, deliciously theirs. I couldn’t think. I couldn’t breathe. Not with Alex’s mouth on my neck, licking and sucking until I whimpered. Not with Asher’s hands sliding up my thighs, parting them with confidence and care, like he owned me—like he always had. They moved in perfect sync, like two halves of the same dark desire, and I was the flame they circled. “Let go, Ivy,” Asher whispered against my skin, his voice a sinful caress. “You don’t have to hold back. Not with us.” I moaned as his lips found my inner thigh again, trailing kisses closer, closer, until— “Oh my God,” I gasped, back arching as his tongue finally met the ache he’d stirred in me all evening. My fingers gripped the rug, desperate for something to hold onto as his mouth worked its magic—slow, skillful, relentless. Alex watched me come undone with fire in his eyes. He kissed my collarbone, my jaw, his hand cupping my breast, thumb teasing the peak until I cried out beneath them. “You’re so damn beautiful like this,” he growled, his mouth capturing mine again, swallowing my moans as Asher sent shockwaves of pleasure up my spine. I couldn’t decide where to focus—on the heat building low and fast between my legs or the feel of Alex’s strong hand slipping down my side, grounding me in the moment. Asher’s tongue moved in circles, relentless and hypnotic, and when he sucked just right— “Oh—please—” My voice broke as I shattered for them, wave after wave pulsing through me. My vision blurred, my body trembled, and still they didn’t stop. They devoured me. Asher looked up, lips glistening, proud and wicked. “You taste like heaven.” Alex kissed the tip of my nose, his voice low. “Now it’s our turn.” I barely had time to recover before they stood, undressing before my eyes—slowly, deliberately, giving me a show I’d never forget. Alex was all sharp lines and carved muscle, his abs rippling as he stepped out of his jeans. His length stood hard and ready, proud between his thighs. Asher was no less stunning, slightly broader, with a wicked smirk and eyes full of promises. My breath hitched as I took them both in. “You still okay, baby?” Asher asked, kneeling beside me, fingers brushing my cheek with surprising tenderness. “Yes,” I breathed. “More than okay.” He leaned down, kissing me deeply, while Alex positioned himself behind me, trailing soft kisses down my back. And then… they took me. Together. Alex entered me first, slow, thick, stretching me deliciously. I gasped, my fingers clawing at the rug, overwhelmed in the best way possible. He moved with long, controlled strokes, his hands gripping my hips as he filled me over and over again. Then Asher leaned over me, his mouth brushing my ear. “Ready to feel even fuller?” Before I could answer, I felt the pressure of him pressing against me from behind—different angle, different sensation—and my whole body clenched at the thought. They moved with patience and understanding—giving me time and care. And when I took them both, when they were fully inside me, buried deep and groaning at how tight I was—I shattered all over again. Every movement was fire and silk, every thrust drawing out sounds I didn’t know I could make. “Mine,” Alex growled, pounding into me. “Ours,” Asher corrected, biting my shoulder gently. Their hands roamed my body like it was their favorite thing to touch. Their mouths kissed every exposed inch of skin. Their rhythm, their chemistry—it was sinful. Perfect. Addictive. I screamed their names as I came again, shaking, my body quaking between them. And even then, they didn’t stop. They wanted to ruin me. And I let them. Because I wanted it too. By the time they reached their peak—groaning my name into the curve of my neck, releasing deep inside me—I was wrecked, breathless, and clinging to them like I’d drown without their touch. We collapsed together on the rug, tangled limbs and slick skin, the fire beside us still crackling. For a while, there was only silence. Breathing. Soft kisses. Fingers tracing lazy circles on flushed skin. Then Asher spoke, voice raw. “You’re never going back to that office, Ivy.” Alex chuckled, pulling me closer. “No. From now on, you work under us.” I laughed weakly, curling into their warmth. “Gladly.”The office smelled faintly of sawdust and pine. The sun hung high over the mountain ridge, spilling golden light through the window blinds. It was a normal day at the mill. Men shouted orders in the distance, machines growled, and the radio in the hallway hummed low.But she couldn’t feel normal.She stood at her desk, pretending to type, pretending to breathe steadily, pretending she couldn’t feel the way her thighs ached from the night in the forest. She’d washed the dirt off her skin, but his scent lingered in places no soap could reach. It was buried deep, sitting on her pulse.Ronan had marked her without leaving a visible bruise.She told herself to avoid him. To keep her head down. But every time a door opened, her chest tightened. Every time she caught the faint trace of pine and musk drifting down the hall, heat curled low in her stomach.Her heart jolted when she felt him before she saw him. The air shifted. The sounds outside dulled.He was near.The door to his office crea
The forest was quieter than the town ever was. No traffic. No buzz of lights. Just the steady sound of the wind brushing through the pines and the crunch of her boots sinking into the damp earth.She shouldn’t have been there.She had told herself she wouldn’t go. That whatever happened last night had been a mistake born out of late hours and dangerous heat. She’d promised herself she would avoid him at all costs.But when his message came — one word, Come — her body had moved before her mind could protest.The deeper she went into the forest, the heavier the air felt. His scent was everywhere, thick and warm, wrapping around her lungs until she felt dizzy. Pine. Smoke. Something animal.Branches cracked ahead of her.She froze.He stepped out from behind a thick tree, tall and broad, his black T-shirt clinging to muscles that shouldn’t have belonged to anyone human. His eyes caught the moonlight, glowing gold. He wasn’t hiding what he was out here.“Good girl,” Ronan said. His voice
The mountain was quiet after dark. The logging trucks had stopped rumbling hours ago, and the night wrapped itself around the mill like a thick, breathing thing. Only the hum of the fluorescent lights inside the office kept her company.She sat at the worn wooden desk, her fingers flying over the keyboard as she finished the last of the numbers she was supposed to file. Her first week on the job, and already she’d been handed a mountain of work. Everyone had warned her about the boss. How he didn’t like excuses. How he wasn’t exactly human.They called him the Bear.She’d laughed the first time she heard it. But after one meeting with him, she stopped laughing.She felt him before she heard him.The air shifted, colder and hotter all at once. Her hands froze over the keyboard. The quiet sound of heavy boots echoed down the hall, slow and deliberate. She straightened in her chair, heart hammering against her ribs.The office door opened without a knock.He filled the doorway like a sha
The house smelled like slow-cooked meat and polished wood. Warm lights glowed softly across the dining room, making everything feel familiar. Safe. That should have been the case. But nothing about tonight felt safe.She stood at the base of the stairs, hands curled against the smooth fabric of her dress. She could hear her father laughing in the other room, his voice full and easy. Guests were gathered around the dining table, silverware clinking lightly against plates. And then she heard the other voice.His.Damon.Her stomach clenched, a rush of heat rolling down her spine before she could stop it. It didn’t matter that there were people around. It didn’t matter that this was her father’s house. She could already feel him before she saw him.She walked slowly toward the dining room. The moment she crossed the threshold, his gaze found her.Damon sat at the far end of the table, next to her father, sleeves rolled up, collar undone just enough to show the edge of his throat. He didn
The office looked different in daylight. Bright. Open. The walls of glass let in sunlight that stretched across the polished floors like golden ribbons. It should have felt safe. Normal.But the moment she stepped out of the elevator, she felt him.Damon.He wasn’t just her boss. He wasn’t just her father’s best friend. He was a storm wrapped in a tailored suit, and she still felt the imprint of his hands on her skin from last night. Her body burned with the memory of his voice whispering against her ear.She’d spent the entire morning convincing herself it had been a mistake. A lapse. A heat that would dissolve under the cold light of day. But when she saw him through the glass wall of his office, leaning against his desk in a dark suit, something inside her tightened.He didn’t even have to look up. She knew he could sense her.Her pulse quickened when her phone buzzed. A short message.My office. Now.She hesitated at her desk for only a second before standing. Her legs carried her
The building was quiet. The kind of quiet that made every sound seem louder than it should be. The hum of the overhead lights vibrated softly through the empty office, mixing with the faint rattle of the rain outside. She shouldn’t have been here this late. Everyone else had gone home hours ago.But this was her first week on the job, and she wanted to impress him.The boss.The man she’d grown up calling Uncle Damon. Her father’s best friend. Her new employer.She bent over her desk, scrolling through numbers on the screen, trying to ignore the way her legs ached from sitting too long. A few strands of hair fell over her face, but she didn’t bother tucking them back. No one was around to see her.Or so she thought.“Still here?”The deep voice rolled through the quiet space like smoke. She froze. Slowly, she turned her head toward the doorway.He was standing there.Damon wore a black dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up, his tie loose around his neck. His jacket hung casually over
