Chapter Three

Then, at last, at last, his lips found mine. Not kind. Not careful. But ravenous, domineering, devouring. Everything was taken away by the kiss: my thoughts, the ground beneath my feet, and my breath.

His other hand squeezed hard against my waist, locking me within him and the wall, while his gloved hand held my jaw, turning me precisely where he wanted me.

My body arched to meet his as I melted and gasped into him. The awkward way the mask squeezed between us somehow increased the heat, serving as a reminder that I didn't know his name or face, just the overwhelming fire of his mouth consuming mine.

I was shaking, my lips were swollen, and my breath was ragged when he finally withdrew. His eyes pierced me from behind the mask.

"I have you now." And I was unaware of it, thank God.

Once more, the curtain pulled shut behind us, enclosing us in a dark cocoon of muffled music and flickering shadows. Behind their disguises, individuals were laughing and dancin

    CHAPTER THREE HerThe moment my phone started vibrating, I knew something wasn't right. I disregarded it at first. With my legs tucked under me and a glass of wine loosely in my palm, I was curled up on Adrian's couch. Beyond the windows, the city shone with lights that flickered like living things. With his sleeves rolled up and his jacket off, Adrian stood close to the window in the calm, personal, and perilous manner of a guy who belonged in such situations. However, the buzzing persisted. Adrian took a quick look. "You ought to look into that." After a moment of hesitation, I opened my phone. Three messages. Everything comes from Lina.Have you seen this? Tell me this isn't about you, please. Give me a call. Right now. My stomach fell. I clicked on the link she sent. Cruel and audacious, a headline gazed back at me: A NEW OBSESSION OR THE NEXT SCANDAL: ADRIAN VALE SPOTTED WITH A MYSTERY WOMAN? Beneath it was a picture. Hazy, captured from the other side of the road, but un

    CHAPTER TWO AdrianAfter leaving a room, I usually don't think about other people. Really, that's the trick. Grin. Take part. Don't reveal too much, but leave just enough to be remembered. In absence, desire flourishes. Before the discussions, before my status, before people began projecting their desires onto me as if it were their right, I discovered that. However, her? She went home with me.Not in a physical sense. God, no. That would’ve been easy. This was more dire—a quiet kind of encroachment. The kind that creeps into your mind when you're brushing your teeth, gazing out over the city lights, or when the apartment is too quiet and your mind won't cooperate. Her gaze had been too fixed on mine. The majority of individuals turn away initially. She didn't. She stood out only for that. I grabbed myself a drink that I didn't need and waited at the window with my tie undone and my jacket thrown away. Beneath me, the city was alive, vibrant, and unconcerned.It grounded me norm

    CHAPTER ONE I could tell something had changed by the time Adrian Vale came in. Even before I saw him, I could sense the thickening of the air and the little pause in discussion to give him room. Not quiet. Never be silent. Instead of calming a room, a man like Adrian rearranged it. Individuals learn in different ways. Grins became more intense. Eyes trailed behind. The energy shifted as I stood close to the bar, feigning to pay attention to a conversation that I had psychologically zoned out five minutes prior. It was faint but clearly noticeable. Similar to the instant before lightning strikes, every nerve knew that something was about to happen even if there was no sound yet."He's here," someone whispered behind me. There was no need for a name. Adrian Vale didn't need to be introduced. No more. I turned slowly, reminding myself not to stand out or join them. I would peruse the articles, watched the interviews. He was adored by the late-night hosts, whose gags consistently

    CHAPTER SIXA faint sound fell from my mouth before I could stop it. His hand clenched just a little.“There it is,” he mumbled. “That sound.” I took a swallow. "You make it difficult not to." "Excellent." His voice sank. "Well, I do not want you to make an attempt." His mouth hovered just next to my ear, not quite touching it, as he leaned in. His restraint was seductive; it was the controlled, blazing patience of an older man, intensified by need. He said, "You don't rush something like this." "You allowed it to grow." His fingers moved slowly and leisurely along my hips and waist, pausing just shy of the spot where I most wanted him. It was a beautiful denial. Without my brain's consent, my body pressed back against him.Marcus had observed. He was always perceptive. His lips barely touched the arc of my neck; they were more of a promise than a kiss. I shuddered violently. "Sensitive," he murmured with satisfaction. "I wondered." Then I looked up at him. I was astounded by

    CHAPTER FIVE His voice grew gruff as he replied, "I've wanted this." "Longer than I ought to acknowledge." "You're not alone," I exhaled. His fingers spread with an instinctive possessiveness that sent shivers down my spine as his hand went to my waist. Gently yet irresistibly, he drew me in closer. "Tell me," he whispered. "Say it so I believe I'm not dreaming.” I muttered, "I want you." "It scares me how much I want you." Marcus took a slow, low breath that was simultaneously painful and hungry. He then gave me a kiss. It wasn't hurried. It wasn't crazy. It was painfully slow, as if he wanted to savour each moment. His lips touched mine once, twice, testing and teasing, building the suspense until my breath broke in a shaky cry. Then he intensified the kiss, which was firm and warm, the ideal ratio of hunger to gentleness. Curling my fingers into his shirt, I sank into him, scared of how much I wanted more. Now, with both hands on my waist, he seemed to be direct

    CHAPTER FOURHe carried me from the chair, leading me gently and slowly until I was standing in between his legs; his hands slid along my thighs, cosy yet strong, holding me as though he'd been craving this for far too long; his fingers traced the curve of my back; I shivered, pressing closer; he whispered into my hair, "Tell me if you want me to stop." "I won't," I breathed; he let out a low sound, something like surrender; his hands cupped my hips, mine threaded into his hair; we shared a long, warm kiss that my stomach began to heat up. Between us, desire hummed like electricity. Everything else vanished. However, it wasn't rejection when he withdrew. Control was what it was, just barely enough. He leaned his forehead against mine and whispered, "This is not how I want this night to go." "Not hurried. Not negligent. You are worthy of more than that. I shut my eyes. "Ethan—" He planted a sweet, hurting kiss on my face and then my jaw.His voice trembled with control a
