Sofia

The sudden knock on the door jolted me awake, my heart still thrumming from a dream I couldn’t quite grasp, only the lingering heat and a shameful, unfamiliar sensation that pulsed deep within me.

I groaned and went for the door, I saw Clara’s cheerful face peering in. “Morning, sleepyhead! How was your night?”

“Fine, Clara, just fine,” I mumbled, pulling the sheet higher, a flush creeping up my neck. The memory of the dream still lingered even though I had taken a drink last night to he

    Sofia His voice was terrifyingly quiet. No hello. No 'are you okay'. Just a demand, cold and sharp as a scalpel.I gripped the phone tighter. "I... I took a cab.""A cab," he repeated, flatly."Yes," I lied, my heart hammering against my ribs. "There were plenty of them outside the hotel. I just jumped in the first one I saw.""You ran," he said, his voice rising slightly, the anger starting to bleed through the ice. "You bit me, and then you ran out into the night like a child having a tantrum.""I wasn't having a tantrum!" I snapped, the injustice of it sparking my own temper. "I was leaving a situation where I was being humiliated! You told me to wait for you, and I found you with her between your legs!""I told you to wait!" Luca roared, the sound distorting the speaker. "I was handling it! But you... You don't listen. You never listen. You just react. Do you have any idea how dangerous it was for you to be alone on those streets? Do you have any idea who was at that party?""I d

    SofiaHe looked at me, and for the first time, the humor faded from his expression. He looked offended. "Relax, sweetheart," he said. "If I wanted to hurt Luca, I wouldn't use you. I'd put a bullet in him myself."He slowed the car down, pulling into a scenic overlook that offered a panoramic view of the glittering city below. He put the car in park but kept the engine running."We aren't enemies," he said, turning in his seat to face me. "Not currently, anyway. We are... colleagues with complicated boundaries. He stays in his lane, I stay in mine.""Then why did you pick me up?" I asked. "If he finds out...""If he finds out, he'll be pissed," he agreed with a shrug. "But he's the one who let you run out the door. Finders keepers."He smiled again, that interesting, complicated smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. He leaned back against the driver's side door, studying me. "I see why he keeps you around, though," he said quietly. "You're refreshing. You're not tainted by the rest

    SofiaThe impact of hitting his chest was like running into a stone wall. It knocked the breath out of me, jarring my teeth, but the hands that steadied me were firm, warm, and terrifyingly familiar.I stared up into the face of the man who had caught me.The last time I had seen him, he had been standing under a streetlamp, shrouded in smoke, watching me shatter against a glass wall thirty stories above the ground.The memory hit me with force, the shame should have been paralyzing. I should have pulled away, covered my face, and run back into the hotel. But the rage that had propelled me out of the ballroom was still coursing through my veins, overriding my self-preservation instincts.I took a half-step back, breaking the contact of his chest but remaining trapped in the circle of his arms. "You," I breathed, the word scratching my throat. My eyes searched his face, the sharp jawline, the dark, amused eyes, the arrogance that clung to him like a second skin. "I remember you."He d

    SofiaThe interior of the car was silent, save for the low hum of the engine and the sound of my own shallow breathing.I stared out the window as the city lights blurred, my hands were clenched in my lap, twisting the silk fabric of the emerald dress. The slit on my left leg fell open, exposing my thigh to the cool air of the climate control, but Luca hadn't looked at it since we left the boutique.He reached over, his hand landing heavy and possessive on my exposed thigh. He squeezed, his thumb digging into the sensitive muscle just above my knee."You look dangerous tonight, Sofia," he murmured. "See that you act like it. Don't cower. Don't look down. You belong to me, which means you outrank everyone in that room. Do you understand?""I understand," I whispered, the heat of his hand seeping into my skin.He squeezed once more before returning his hand to the wheel.The Grand Hotel lived up to its name. A live orchestra played something classical and boring in the corner, drowned o

    SofiaThe human body is capable of enduring a lot of things. Hunger, exhaustion, physical pain. But the specific, maddening ache of unfinished business? That was a torture all its own.For three days, I had been vibrating.It started in the library, in that split second between nearly shattering and cold. Since then, the frustration hadn't faded; it had calcified. It settled deep in my bones making my skin feel too tight and my temper razor-thin.I sat on the edge of my dorm bed, staring at my phone as if I could will it to ring through telekinesis. "You're doing it again," Clara said, not looking up from her laptop."Doing what?" I snapped, tossing the phone onto the duvet."Vibrating," she said, typing furiously. "You look like a cat that's about to pounce on a laser pointer. Seriously, Sofi, did you drink ten espressos? Or are you just having a breakdown over the thesis?""The thesis is fine," I lied through gritted teeth. "I'm just... restless."Restless was the understatement of

    SofiaI shifted in the wooden chair, a sharp wince escaping my lips before I could bite it back. "You okay?" Clara whispered from the other side of the table, not looking up from her textbook."Fine," I lied, keeping my voice low. "Just... a cramp. Sitting too long."It wasn't a cramp. It was the memory of Luca's hand, printed in invisible ink across my skin. My entire body felt like it had been rewired. My wrists throbbed with a dull ache where the silk ropes had bound me. My thighs were tender, the muscles tight from being held open for hours. And sitting... sitting was a delicate operation. My skin was sensitive, raw in the most delicious way, reminding me with every shift of fabric against my flesh that I belonged to him.I looked down at the open book in front of me, and the words swam on the page. I read the same paragraph three times and couldn't tell you a single thing it said. Around me, students were hunched over laptops, typing furiously, they were all so normal. They were

    Sofia I pulled back from the embrace just enough to look up at him, my hands resting against his chest. His heart was beating steadily beneath my palms."You're dramatic," I teased, a small smile tugging at my lips. I traced the line of his jaw with my thumb, relishing the scratch of stubble. "I w

    SofiaThe dress lay on the bed like a pool of spilled blood.It was a slip of silk, a deep, dark red that looked almost black in the dim light of the bedroom. I stared at it, my stomach churning with a mixture of nausea and nervous energy."Put it on," Luca had said. I reached for it, my fingers tr

    SofiaI watched as Luca took off his shirt and I stopped breathing. Luca was a masterpiece of living, breathing danger. He stood completely naked before me, unabashed and glorious in the dim light.My eyes traced the sharp definition of his abdominal muscles, the V-line that disappeared into the da

My mind was already racing ahead, calculating the terrifying logistics of my return. Please let them be asleep, please let the lights be off.The car came to a halt a bl
