The CEO's BodyGuard Chapter 63.2: Two O'Clock
He looked at her. The smile stayed exactly where it was. "I'm just noting facts," he said. "And I'm a researcher. I note things." She held his gaze for a moment. Then she looked at the conference room door ahead of them. "Let's just get through the meeting," she said. "Of course," he said pleasantly. He held the door open for her. She went in. The conference room had floor to ceiling windows on one side. The city beyond them, the flat grey light of an overcast Monday. The long table already set up with water and notepads and the institute's branding on the presentation screen at the far end. Four of her team were already seated. Henderson from Voss Industries research division she recognized from the Thursday gathering, a compact efficient man in his fifties who nodded at her when she came in. No Damien yet. She set her files at the head of the table. Arranged them. Rearranged them. Liam sat in the chair to her left and poured himself water and looked at the presentat
The CEO's BodyGuard Chapter 63: Two O'Clock
Chapter 63: Two O'ClockLiora's POVShe was at the institute by eight thirty with her project files and her coffee and the professional neutral face she'd been practicing since Saturday morning and she settled at her bench and worked through the morning with the focused efficiency of someone who had decided that thinking was only permitted about work related things until further notice.It mostly worked.By noon she'd made genuine progress on the compound analysis framework and had drafted two sections of the preliminary report and had only thought about the handshake four times which she considered a reasonable average given the circumstances.She was heating up lunch in the small kitchen off the main corridor when Dr. Osei appeared in the doorway with her tablet and the brisk warm energy of someone moving efficiently through a full day."Ready for the two o'clock," Dr. Osei said. It wasn't quite a question."Yes," Liora said. "I've prepared the preliminary framework and the first qu
The CEO's BodyGuard Chapter 30: Yielding
Chapter 30: YieldingSebastian’s POVThe third night in the safe house felt quieter. Calmer.Sebastian woke slowly, body heavy with exhaustion but clearer than it had been in days. The violent, drug-fueled fire had finally receded, leaving behind a deep, natural heat that pulsed low in his belly — insistent, but no longer cruel. He could think again. He could choose.Kane slept beside him, lying on his back with one arm draped possessively across Sebastian’s waist. Even in sleep, the alpha looked powerful — broad chest rising and falling steadily, strong jaw relaxed, scars catching faint light from the bedside lamp. The man who had torn through hell to find him. Who had held him through two days of agony without taking advantage. Who had waited.Sebastian’s gaze lingered on the hard lines of Kane’s body. Heat stirred hotter inside him, this time born from want rather than torment.He wanted this. He wanted *Kane*.Carefully, Sebastian slid down the bed, settling between Kane’s spread
The CEO's BodyGuard Chapter 29: Yielding
Chapter 29: YieldingThe third night in the safe house marked a turning point.Sebastian’s body had finally begun purging the last remnants of Adrian’s cruel cocktail. The artificial, merciless edge to his heat had softened into something deeper, more natural still overwhelming, but no longer pure torture. The desperate, empty ache remained, but now it came with clarity.Kane felt the shift immediately.They were tangled on the bed, skin to skin, when Sebastian looked up at him with clearer eyes. The glassy desperation had receded, replaced by something sharper. Hungrier. Deliberate.“Kane,” Sebastian breathed, voice hoarse but steady. His fingers traced the hard line of Kane’s jaw, then down to his chest. “The drugs… they’re almost gone. I can feel like myself again.”Kane hovered over him, braced on one forearm, his other hand resting possessively on Sebastian’s hip. His rut had been a constant, burning presence for days, held back only by rigid control. “Are you sure?” he asked, vo
The CEO's BodyGuard Chapter 28: Safe Haven
Chapter 28: Safe HavenThe secure medical facility was actually a private safe house on the outskirts of the city one Marcus had prepared the moment Sebastian went missing. Fully stocked, heavily fortified, and completely off the grid. No staff. No cameras in the inner rooms. Just the essentials an alpha would demand when protecting his Omega in heat.Kane carried Sebastian inside without letting anyone else touch him. The Omega was still trembling violently in his arms, face buried in Kane’s neck, soft desperate sounds escaping with every breath. His body burned like a furnace against Kane’s chest.Marcus stood at the entrance, keeping a respectful distance. “Everything’s ready. Private wing. IV fluids, hydration packs, suppressants if needed though I doubt you’ll use them. Medical supplies on the left table. I’ll stay in the outer perimeter. No one gets close.”Kane gave a curt nod, alpha instincts too raw to speak. He trusted Marcus with his life, but right now, the thought of anyo
The CEO's BodyGuard Chapter 27: Shattered Control
Chapter 27: Shattered Control Kane’s world narrowed to the trembling Omega in his arms. The sedative gas burned in his lungs, making his movements sluggish and his vision blur at the edges, but he refused to let go. Sebastian clung to him desperately, face buried in the crook of his neck, inhaling Kane’s scent like it was the only thing keeping him sane. The Omega’s body was a furnace flushed, sweat-slicked, shaking violently with the merciless force of the drug-enhanced heat. “I’ve got you,” Kane growled, voice rough and strained. One arm wrapped around Sebastian’s back, the other cradled the back of his head, pressing him closer. “Breathe. Just breathe through it.” Sebastian whimpered, a broken, needy sound that tore straight through Kane’s chest. “Kane… it hurts… so empty… please…” His hips shifted helplessly against Kane’s thigh, seeking any friction, any relief after two full days of engineered torment. Slick soaked through what remained of his ruined trousers, the sweet,
The CEO's BodyGuard Chapter Seven: Public Exposure
**Chapter Seven: Public Exposure**By morning, the penthouse looked untouched.That was the problem.The broken lock had been replaced. The hallway scrubbed. The security system upgraded overnight by Kane’s former team—off the record, untraceable. No blood. No shell casings. No sign that three armed
The CEO's BodyGuard Chapter 3: Morning Intrusion
Chapter 3: Morning IntrusionSebastian woke at 4:58 a.m., three minutes before his alarm. Habit. The penthouse was silent except for the low hum of the city far below. He lay still for ten seconds listening. No footsteps. No clicks of cameras. Just the faint scent of leather that hadn't been there
The CEO's BodyGuard Chapter 2: Shadow Steps
Chapter 2: Shadow StepsSebastian left the office at 8:47 p.m., later than planned. Every line of code he had written that day now felt like a potential trapdoor. The photo the one that should have been impossible played on repeat in his mind, every detail burned into his memory: the angle, the dar
The CEO's BodyGuard Chapter 1; The Photo
Chapter 1: The PhotoThe boardroom on the 47th floor of Apex Veil Tower overlooked Manhattan like a predator surveying its territory. Floor-to-ceiling glass framed the glittering skyline, but Sebastian Mercer kept his back to it. He preferred the reflection in the polished mahogany table his own f
