He raised his gaze to meet hers, the winter water in his eyes growing dark. “How about my appearance?”“You look like a person who’s already won and only needs to wait for the other players to recognize this.” And she moved even closer, so close that the warmth of his body burned through the flimsy material of the shirt she was still wearing. “It should scare me. It does not scare me. It makes me want to be closer.”Derrick’s hand slipped down from her back to her waist and brought her closer to himself. “Then be closer. Tonight you will stay at my side without leaving it even for a second. Hartley will search for weakness. Marcus will search for distance. Neither will find anything.”By late afternoon the tension in the penthouse had become something almost tangible, an entity that lurked and thrived with each and every whispered conversation.Rica was standing in front of the full-length mirror in the

With a gesture she brought her hand to his hard jawline. "And once the fire’s done burning down? When both of them are ash what then, Derrick? Do we still get together with new papers? Or are they burned down as well?"His gaze held hers for some time without breaking away. Then his hand slid down from her hair and came to rest on her neck, right above her rapidly beating pulse."Once the fire burns down," he said with an absolute conviction in his voice, "I’ll be keeping you. No papers needed. No expiry date. No easy way out. You’ll be the one thing that’s not a game in my life, not a weapon or a tool or leverage. You will be the one reason why I don’t look back over my shoulder."His admission was thrown between them like live electric current.Some part of Rica broke within her heart, irrevocably. And she moved closer so their mouths touched.“We stop watching our backs together from tomorrow night onwards,” she breathed out.Again, Derrick’s hold on her got tighter, pinning her ag

“Tomorrow night,” he said finally, voice still rough, “we walk into that club together. You will wear the black dress that makes every man forget how to speak. You will keep your hand on my arm like you have every right to be there. And when Hartley looks at you, I want him to see exactly what he threw away and exactly who caught it.”Rica lifted her head. “And if he tries to speak to me?”“Then you look him in the eye and tell him the truth.” Derrick’s gaze hardened into something lethal. “Tell him the woman he discarded no longer exists. Tell him the woman who remains belongs to someone who knows how to keep what is his. And if he so much as reaches for you, I will end the conversation permanently.”A shiver ran through her that had nothing to do with fear. “You’re possessive.”“I warned you.” His thumb brushed her lower lip. “I do not share. I do not forgive. And I do not leave unfinished business for the next man. Hartley is unfinished business. Marcus is unfinished business. By t

“Marcus is going to be invited to the Chen party as my personal lieutenant. He will be standing right next to me while the board is voting. And once the fabricated figures he gave to Hartley become exposed, all eyes will fall on the man who betrayed us both.” Derrick's thumbs were gently caressing her cheekbones, almost in reverence. “You will be there. You will witness that. And then, after everything is done and settled, you will be the one to decide whether six months is enough, or if we are going to write a whole new contract for you.”Those words lingered between them, more weighty than any of those she had ever signed.Rica reached up and covered his hands with hers.“I have already made up my mind,” she said, speaking with absolute resolve in her tone. “I will not leave with clean hands, with someone still trying to stab you in the back. I will not let Liam Hartley believe for a second longer that I belong to him in any form whatsoever. The contract be damned, Derrick. I am sta

“Good.” He thrust harder, deeper, the water cascading over them both. “Because I’m done pretending I can walk away clean either. You got under my skin the first day you briefed me without flinching. And every night since, you’ve been rewriting the terms without even trying.”She came hard, shaking, nails scoring his shoulders. He followed seconds later, forehead pressed to hers, a low, guttural sound torn from his chest as he buried himself to the hilt.Afterward he held her under the falling water, one hand splayed protectively at the small of her back, the other cradling the back of her head.“Still trembling,” he murmured against her wet hair.“Not from fear,” she answered, voice unsteady. “From the fact that I meant every word. Contract be damned.”“Good,” he repeated, softer this time. “Because the next words out of my mouth are going to change everything.”They dressed in soft clothes and sat at the long kitchen island with coffee and the thin file Jessica’s information had forc

Day broke with the same precision as a razor slicing through silk.Rica awoke to the reassuring presence of Derrick’s arm wrapped firmly around her waist, the rhythm of his breath on her back, and the warmth of the night that lingered in her flesh. The pale silver rays of light filtered into Midtown through the glass. She remained still for an eternal moment, breathing in his cedar and winter scent, allowing herself to be convinced that the man who had promised we stand together had not disappeared with the darkness.But then the contract took hold in her subconscious, squeezing at her throat with icy fingers.Six months. Or less.Public display. Private exclusiveness.Walk away clean.She moved. He instinctively locked his arm around her in a possessive hold that made her feel as if a chill had just run through her spine. His voice, heavy with both sleep and something else, whispered in her ear.“You’re thinking too loud again.”She turned within his embrace, looking up at him in the
