Scarlett:

Hera and I sprawled out across the living room floor, satisfied, after finishing our meal. The takeout boxes and empty wineglasses were neatly stacked on the table.

“So, are you going to the party?” Hera asked as she rolled over to grab the TV remote.

I’d told her about the run-in with my cousin and Julia, and knowing Hera, she had already picked out a dress for me in her head — a scandalous one, in fact, just so it could cause trouble.

I threw my head back and shrugged. “I don't know. Honestly, I might not.”

“No one would want to go to a botched bitch's party anyway?” She rolled her eyes. “Who even married her? Damien?”

I let out a laugh.

Stacey's reputation for whoring around spoke far and wide, so much so that it was comical to learn about her marriage. But she did wed a man who was as much of a whore as she was so... Austin Reeves. The bastard had hit on me once when I was still Mrs. Kane.

Speaking of Austin, a thought crossed my mind, and a ghost of a smile so sin

  • The Billionaire's Dirty Obsession   33. The bouquet

    Scarlett:Morning crept in fast. The rays of the sunlight poured directly on my face and for a second I didn’t realize where I was until I shifted — and winced. Everything hurt. The inside of my thighs throbbed. My neck felt sore. My knees ached and my throat felt raw.As the soreness spread, the memory of who caused it lingered. Lucien. His hands, his voice. The way he had touched and commanded me, the way he’d fucked me.Heat crawled up my face. I could feel him everywhere like he made sure of, with the many positions he’d taken me the whole night. It was almost shameful how satisfied I was, how much I couldn’t bring myself to regret last night despite the fact that he’d practically seduced me into agreeing to the arrangement between us.A shiver slid down my spine, thrilling and fucked up in equal measure, because it was never part of the plan to let Lucien —my boss — wreck me like that or even have the access to me anytime he wanted.The second the word boss crossed my mind, some

  • The Billionaire's Dirty Obsession   32. Whenever, wherever and however

    ~ LUCIEN ~*******Her eyes widened, lips parting in a way that made my cock throb. She hadn’t expected me to be so blunt with it.Obviously, the choice was a ruse. I’d get everything I wanted in the end. I always did. But if she was going to be my slut, or rather, my ‘on-call sex partner,’ she’d have to show me she was willing to let go of that ego she fed on.Her eyes flicked toward the floor-to-ceiling windows, scanning the city outside as if expecting me to say something — close them, reassure her, anything.I didn’t. I let her panic a little, feel the thrill of exposure. She shifted her weight on both legs.And then… slowly, she sank to her knees. Her eyes flicked up at me, pupils blown wide, and my cock jumped in anticipation.My lips curled, slowly into a proud grin. “That’s my good girl,” My gaze swept over her, taking in the way she trembled just a little, the way her chest rose and fell.Her eyes went to the window again, wide, still expecting some intervention. Unfortunatel

  • The Billionaire's Dirty Obsession   31. Get down on your knees

    Scarlett:The low hum of the engine filled the car as it sped through the highway. The tension was too thick for the exchange between Lucien and me.What was I thinking? A ride, really? Hell, that was a ruse and we knew that.I should’ve stayed pacing in the restroom instead of giving in to… whatever this was. Whatever my body wanted, because that was what dragged me out after fifteen whole minutes.My gaze shifted slowly from the window to Lucien who hadn’t glanced my way since the drive started. My eyes returned to the road, narrowing when I saw he’d missed my turn.My lips parted, pulse jumping.I should’ve said something, stopped him, but I didn’t. And again for the millionth time this night, I had a feeling that this was a terrible ideaBy the time the car rolled into the driveway of an apartment complex — his apartment complex — my stomach was twisted into a tight knot.Lucien killed the engine and finally looked at me — the first time since we’d left. His gaze was searching, li

  • The Billionaire's Dirty Obsession   30. Where you need to be

    ~ Lucien ~~**********Her breath caught, her pulse visible just beneath that soft skin, the tip of her tongue running over her lips.Heat pooled low at the sight.I hadn’t meant to push her that far but the look on her face when her mask started slipping off made me. The way her eyes found mine, her breath hitched when each time I neared, the way her dress rode up her thighs... Hell, the way she lowered herself over the table with aching precision.She could pretend all she wanted. I already knew. Her body was saying everything she wouldn’t admit to.The tension stretched between us, air thick and hot enough to burn.She took a deep breath and lifted her chin though her eyes darted everywhere else but my face. “That doesn’t have anything to do with the game, Lucien,”My lips curved. Doesn’t it?“Maybe not the game on the table,” I said, “But whichever one it is, you’re losing.”Her eyes snapped to mine. A spark of defiance. Good. I liked that she didn’t fold easily. It made the idea

  • The Billionaire's Dirty Obsession   29. Focus, Scarlett

    I froze.For a split second, I wasn’t sure I’d heard him right.Bend?My pulse thundered in my ears, heat blooming in the back of my neck. My thoughts were already running wild when his taunting chuckle echoed in my ear.“I’m talking about the game, Scarlett.”My stomach dropped and my shoulders stiffened as a wave of embarrassment slammed into me.Right. The game.How else would I play if I didn’t bend?Scarlett Bennett, get your mind out of the fucking gutters.“I know...can you step back a little?” My voice was tiny, barely a whisper, adding to my shame.I didn’t need to turn to know that an infuriating smirk was on his lips as he stepped back. The heat from his presence barely waned. I could still feel it everywhere.Slowly, I lowered myself over the table, hands tightening on the cue, the sound of my own breath filling the silence. And then —A sharp nudge to my ankle.My eyes flew wide, a sharp gasp leaving my lips.“Feet apart,” He murmured, nudging my ankle with his shoe unti

  • The Billionaire's Dirty Obsession   28. Now... Bend

    My steps were unhurried, eyes gaping around as the staff led me further into the Maison Noir building. It was a winery, yes, but every part of it dripped with wealth and restrained luxury.My heart pounded faintly against my ribs with each step I took. I felt out of place but I kept my chin up, hoping no one saw through my facade.“Scarlett.” A deep, familiar voice called out.We stopped and turned. Cassian was striding toward us, clad in a finely tailored dark suit, blond hair pulled back in a man bun. His commanding presence owned the air as he closed in.The staff bowed slightly, taking his empty glass before walking away, leaving me under Cassian’s gaze.I gave a small, polite, smile.“Nice party, Mr. Laurent.”His lips tilted, not quite a smile but not unkind either. “I was beginning to think you wouldn’t show. Thought this might not be your type of… crowd.”“No—Nothing like that. I had an engagement I had to stop by.” I said, chuckling nervously.“Then let’s make up for lost tim
