LOGINVictoria’s POVI stared at the photo on Tristan’s phone until the screen went dark. My own face caught in pleasure, head thrown back while I rode his hand in my office. The message underneath burned into my mind: We have more. End it publicly by noon tomorrow or the board and the press get everything.Your move, Langford. My stomach dropped so hard I felt nauseous. I was still naked in Tristan’s lap on my couch, his cock softening inside me after we had fucked like the world was ending. His come was still leaking out of me onto his thighs. The contrast made everything feel cruel.Tristan’s arms tightened around me. “Victoria,” he said, voice rough. “Breathe. They’re bluffing to scare us.”“They’re not bluffing.” My voice cracked. I climbed off his lap and stood up on shaky legs. Come dripped down my inner thigh. I didn’t bother cleaning it. I just grabbed a throw blanket and wrapped it around myself. “They have pictures of me coming on your fingers at work. That’s not gossip. That’s
Victoria’s POVThe chairman’s voice on speaker cut through the quiet morning like a knife. I was still pressed against Tristan’s warm body in my bed, my hand wrapped around his cock, feeling him throb in my palm after everything we had shared the night before. My heart slammed against my ribs so hard I felt dizzy. Anonymous tip. Improper relationships. Your new personal assistant by name. I pulled my hand back like I had been burned and sat up fast, clutching the sheet to my chest even though Tristan had tasted every inch of me hours earlier. My thighs still felt sticky. My body still ached in the best way. And now this.“Victoria?” the chairman said again, sharper this time. “We need you in the office immediately. This could damage the company if it spreads before we contain it.”“I’ll be there within the hour,” I said. My voice came out surprisingly steady even though my hands were shaking. “Have legal and compliance waiting.” I hung up and dropped the phone on the nightstand.T
Tristan’s POVI woke up to the feeling of someone watching me. My eyes opened slowly and there she was Victoria—standing a few feet away in the dim light of her penthouse living room. Her arms were crossed tight over her chest, hair messy from earlier, and her face showed a mix of hurt and anger that hit me straight in the gut. My phone sat on the table where I left it. The screen must have lit up again. Fuck. I sat up fast, shirt still half open from when she had been in my lap grinding against me.“Victoria,” I said, voice rough with sleep and the memory of her moans. “What’s wrong?”She picked up my phone and held it out toward me. Her hand shook a little. “Read it. The message that just came in while you were asleep on my couch after making me come twice.”I took the phone. The preview still showed on the locked screen: “Did you tell her the full truth yet about why you really took the job?” My stomach dropped hard. Heat rushed to my face. Guilt and fear mixed with the leftover
Victoria’s POV I grabbed the phone with a hand that still trembled from the orgasm Tristan had just pulled out of me. My head of security’s name flashed on the screen and my stomach twisted. Calls this late never brought good news. Tristan sat right there on my couch, watching me with those hazel eyes full of heat and something deeper now that his confession hung between us. He was M. The man who had spent months typing the exact words that made me fall apart alone in my bed. And now he had his fingers inside me minutes ago. My body still buzzed from it, slick and sensitive, while my mind spun with shock and a rush of anger and want all mixed together. “Hold on,” I told Tristan, my voice rough. I answered the call and stood up, walking a few steps away toward the windows even though my legs felt unsteady. “ What is it?” “Ms. Langford, sorry to call so late,” my head of security said. “There’s been a security breach attempt on the main servers. Nothing critical got th
Victoria’s POV I stepped out of the elevator into my penthouse and the door barely clicked shut before I pressed my back against it, breathing hard. My hand was still shoved between my thighs over my skirt, pressing against the soaked heat there like that could calm the throbbing. It didn’t. Tristan’s last words kept echoing in my head. Dream about what I’m going to do to you when you finally say yes. My body reacted like he was standing right in front of me, pulse beating heavy between my legs, nipples tight and sensitive against my bra. I was thirty years old, running a billion-dollar company, and one day with this man had me ready to fall apart.I kicked off my heels and walked straight to the kitchen, pouring myself a glass of wine with shaking hands. The cool liquid did nothing to lower the fire under my skin. I kept seeing the way his hazel eyes had locked on mine in the rearview mirror, the way his voice dropped when he offered to take care of me. It felt too familiar. Too ri
Victoria’s POV I slammed the door of my penthouse behind me at six-thirty in the morning, already feeling the weight of another endless day pressing on my chest. Thirty years old and every morning started the same: black coffee, quick scan of overnight markets, and the quiet ache between my legs that no amount of rushed showers or late-night toys ever fully satisfied. I needed real hands. Real heat. Someone who actually knew how to push me until I broke open and forgot the empire for a few selfish minutes. But CEOs didn’t get to want things like that. Not openly.My usual driver had quit last week. HR sent the replacement’s file late last night. Tristan Hale, thirty-two, impeccable references from high-profile clients, discreet, reliable. I barely glanced at the photo before approving him. Now I stood on the curb in my charcoal power suit, skirt hugging my hips, blouse buttoned high enough to stay professional but tight enough that I felt every breath against my breasts. The black to
LANAThe door clicked open and I spun around so fast my head spun. Dominic stood there, fully dressed now in that same black t-shirt and grey sweatpants, but it didn’t make him any less dangerous. His eyes burned into me, heavy and sure, like he already knew exactly what my body was doing under the
LANAMom helped me carry my suitcase upstairs to my room. It was the same one I always stayed in during summers, nothing fancy but it felt like mine. She hugged me again at the door.“Get settled in, baby. Dinner will be ready soon.” She said and I nodded and closed the door behind her.I pulled ou
LANAI stared out the cab window as the Miami streets blurred past. The air conditioning was barely working, and my thighs stuck to the fake leather seat. I’d just landed from my dad’s place up north, and this was the start of another summer with Mom. Same routine every year since the divorce. I li
NELSON. The ball was bouncing hard under my hand as I crossed half court, sweat pouring down my back. We were up by twelve in the practice scrimmage against the rival team that always talked the most shit. My teammates were screaming my name—Nelson! Nelson!—every time I touched the ball. I’m the ca
