CHELSEA

I place my phone on the dashboard and connect it to the car.

Dante just sent away the driver and offered to drive us there.

I'm gonna finally just lose my mind. I don't even know how Bearnice is gonna take this.

"It isn't too far from here." He nods at the location beeping on the phone.

He starts driving, and in less than ten minutes, we arrive at the ice cream parlor.

I call Bearnice, and she picks up on the first ring.

"Um, Bearnice, I'm here," I speak into the phone.

"Ohh, goody. Onc

    CHELSEAI run three feet farther from him than usual. Since we started our morning run today, he has been inching closer to me, and I have been inching away."What do you want me to do?" he suddenly asks out of the blue."What do you mean?" I ask blandly. I know exactly what he means. I've been avoiding him. Well, it's not my fault I can't stay close to him when he affects me this much."You've been jogging about four feet farther away from me.""Three feet," I correct, my face still forward."Alright." He glances at my armband with my water bottle strapped tightly to my arm. "Well, doesn't it seem like you're trying to avoid me?""Jogging three feet farther from you can hardly be called avoiding." I laugh."Okay, then come closer."I stop for a second, scoff, and then jog closer to him."Much better." He doesn't hide the smile on his face.After jogging for a few more minutes, I stop close to a bench and sit. He follows suit without a word.And here I thought he didn't support the id

    CHELSEADante steps into the room, and the room is suddenly smaller.He closes the door behind him, inching closer to me."Um, sir." I put my hands forward without moving, stopping him."Sir? Is that what you're calling me now? After all that's happened?""Yes, sir." I swallow hard. "I'm tired, and I need to go to bed. We're leaving for the United States, and I need to be ready and pack my things on time.""We don't need to go back tomorrow." He steps even closer, closing the gap between us. "We can stay in Berlin for a few more days. The company wouldn't die." He coos, his hot breath fanning my ear.I instinctively arch my back into him, losing sight of the plan.No shit. Just focus.Taking a deep breath, I step back, but he steps forward into my space."What is it, Chelsea?" His voice is low, almost a growl."I'm just tired. It's been a long night," I say sincerely, meeting his gaze for the first time. I guess that does the trick as his burning gaze melts."Alright." He smiles and p

  • VENGEANCE AND LUST    CHAPTER 25

    CHELSEA My mind is blank and empty of every thought as I hook my hands on the collar of his shirt and pull. Hard. He groans into my mouth, his hands pressing my hips further into him. Everything I've ever felt—rage, pain, hurt, joy, peace—it all comes. And I pour it into the kiss. My hand tangles in his hair as I open my mouth to him. His tongue slips in, sucking and licking my lips. I push my tongue into his mouth too, my grip on his hair harder, his grip on my waist punishing. He makes a sound that comes from his chest, deep like a rumble. Satisfaction. His hand moves to cup my face, and he angles my head to deepen the kiss. My entire body blazes in heat I've never felt before. His kiss, hot and demanding, tears through my soul, and I'm wanting. Wanting more than I have ever in my life. He bites my lower lip slightly, earning goosebumps all over my skin. A moan escapes my mouth into his, and he pushes me to the wall in response. My hand tugs at his hair, and the other gri

  • VENGEANCE AND LUST    CHAPTER 24

    CHELSEA Dante leads me through the glass doors and to the balcony. The moon is out fully, its pale light illuminating the balcony and casting soft shadows on the floor. The soft music of the party drifts all the way here. Finally, I look at Dante, my heart hammering fast in my chest as I place my palm in his. Why am I doing this again? I need to be close to him. I need Dante to trust me. Right. He slips his other hand to my waist, his fingers brushing the exposed skin at my back. I place my other hand on his shoulder. "One." He steps back, letting me follow. "Two." He steps to the side, and I follow his stride. My gaze is planted on his feet as he moves. "Look at me," his voice is merely above a whisper. I slowly and painfully drag my eyes to meet his. He leans in and whispers in my ear, "Trust me." My entire body trembles at the closeness, his voice like cold water over my body, and goosebumps rise on my skin. Why the fuck did I think this was a good idea?

    CHELSEASitting on the opposite side of Dante confuses me. I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse.On one side, I get to stare at him all day during the conference. But the way this man speaks. Ugh.He is more articulate than anyone I have ever heard, but...Realization hits me like a bullet train. Dante is never this articulate, at least when we're together.He... stutters when he's with me.Other times, he speaks beautifully.Damn...Maybe I just bring out the worst in him.Since our fight last night—if I could even call it that—we haven't spoken to each other, and I have made it a point of duty not to even glance in his direction.What was I even thinking? Getting involved with Dante.The words of those women sting again."Isn't that Dante's ex-fiancée?""Come on, that was so long ago," the other one had chided, giggling.I suck in a deep breath and smooth the flaps of my suit. There's nothing there. It doesn't matter that his ex-fiancée was there and he didn't tell me, but we

    CHELSEAI glance through the side of my eyes and spot Dante. He is all the way over at the other table with the guests.While I'm here with Giovanni.The grand conference hall is arranged with small round tables filling the hall. Each table seats esteemed guests and owners of grand business empires around the world.I eat my food silently, not paying Giovanni any attention or the man that sits with us.He seems to be another assistant or an employee.The segregation was loud.I personally have no qualms. Separating the employers from the employees is only little in the grand scheme of things."You've been staring at him," Giovanni states as a matter of fact rather than asking.I already expected this, so it does not come as a shock. Even I am aware of how obvious my stares were getting."Yes, and?""I'm just fascinated by how close the both of you have become.""We spend most of our days together. It's a given." I take a bite of the tender meat."You're not his first assistant.""I am

    DANTE "The Armenians are playing a dangerous game." Giovanni paces around in my office, shaking his head. Since I told him of Chelsea's suspicions, which he actually confirmed, he's been fuming. It's quite funny, honestly, how the Armenians think they could double-cross us. "They need a reminde

    CHELSEA "Follow me." Dante walks past me without looking back. It's been three days since he yelled at me for sleeping. I don't know if he checked out the Armenians and confirmed my accusations. But there was only so much I could do. He is a smart man. Maybe too smart. Maybe he saw through my

    CHELSEA The manager of the Armenian company. Why is he attacking me? I saw him during the meeting. I wouldn't forget that face so easily. He and the CEO had a similar look on their faces. The type of look I couldn't trust. "What the fuck?" I almost yell in obvious surprise at him. "I just w

    CHELSEAMy mind was fully invested in the meeting. Our offer was lucrative enough for the Armenians. Business administration was my preferred area of study. But seeing everything in practice was surely a blessing. The way Dante negotiated the terms almost made me like him. Almost. He was tenac
