All Chapters of Is this Love or Obsession : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Later, at the hotel.The suite was lavish, silk and shadows everywhere, but Nicole's eyes focused on only one thing and that was 'Timothy'. The drug had stripped away all her self control, which made her bold where she'd never been bold before. Each touch, each tender word between them seemed heightened, sharp beyond anything she had ever experienced.Timothy couldn't maintain himself at arm's length, but Nicole was a magnet-she pulled him in with every look, every halting moaning of his name. When she touched him, when she showed him what she wanted, he was ruined.The night was a blur of want and mad connecting... it was passionate. For Timothy, it was one of those things. For Nicole, it was being alive for the first time.As the sun came up over the city, Nicole fell asleep in Timothy's arms, her dark hair spread across his chest. Timothy lay awake, his gaze on the ceiling, knowing that things were never the same.This woman... this very beautiful, battered, pitiless woman had brea

A knock at her door made her heart jump. She opened it to find Timothy standing in the hallway, devastating in a charcoal gray suit that probably cost more than her rent."Ready?" he asked, but his eyes were doing a slow scan of her body that made her skin tingle."I think so," Nicole said, grabbing her purse.As they rode in his Maybach, Nicole couldn't shake the feeling of déjà vu. The leather seats, the city lights streaming past the window, Timothy's imposing presence beside her all felt hauntingly familiar."Tell me about yourself," Timothy said suddenly."There's not much to tell. I grew up in Portland, went to college here, worked at a marketing firm until they downsized last month." Nicole paused. "What about you?""I don't discuss my personal life."The cold dismissal stung, but before Nicole could respond, Timothy's phone rang."Cole," he answered curtly. After a moment of listening, his expression darkened. "Find her. I don't care what it takes."He ended the call with viol

"Then what makes me so special?" she asked, trying to keep the hurt from her voice.Timothy's hand seized her face, his fingers digging into her skin as he forced her to meet his gaze. His eyes burned into hers, pupils dilated with a hunger that made her breath catch. "You make me feel something I've never felt before," he growled, his voice dropping to a dangerous whisper that scraped against her nerves. "Something... consuming. Something that makes me want to devour every inch of you until there's nothing left."Before Nicole could respond, his lips crashed against hers with bruising force, his fingers tangling in her hair to hold her in place. Her body betrayed her instantly-heat flooding her veins, a small involuntary moan escaping her throat as his tongue claimed her mouth. For three thundering heartbeats, the world dissolved into nothing but his taste, his scent, the hard press of his body against hers. Then reality sliced through the haze of desire like cold steel."Stop," she

By drugging me? By hiring men to rape me?" Nicole's voice rose, drawing stares from nearby shoppers."Keep your voice down," Sarah hissed, grabbing Nicole's arm. "You're making a scene."Nicole jerked away from her touch. "Don't you dare touch me. Either of you.""Or what?" Jake stepped closer, his presence menacing. "You'll call the police? With what proof? It's your word against ours, and who's going to believe the girl who ran off into the night over two upstanding citizens?""I have money now," Nicole said, surprising herself with her own words. "More than you know. I can hire lawyers, private investigators-"Jake laughed. "Right. What happened, Nikki? Did some rich guy take pity on you? Are you spreading your legs for a paycheck now?"The slap came before Nicole even realized she'd moved. Jake's head snapped to the side, a red handprint blooming on his cheek. The sound echoed through the store, and several people pulled out their phones."You bitch," Jake snarled, raising his own

His hands explored her body with deliberate precision as he lay her on his bed, finding places she didn't know could feel such pleasure. Nicole arched against him as his mouth traveled down her neck, her breath catching when his teeth grazed her collarbone. "Tell me you're mine," he commanded against her heated skin. She gasped as his fingers slipped between her thighs, her answer dissolving into a moan that seemed to satisfy him... He parted her leg and slide his hard cock inside of her. She moaned softly forcing him to thrust harder in a faster pace.Hours later, as dawn's first light filtered through the curtains, Nicole lay trembling and spent in his arms, feeling utterly possessed in ways no contract could capture.The next morning...Nicole woke to find Timothy already dressed in an impeccable gray suit, speaking quietly on his phone by the window."The jet will be ready in an hour," he was saying. "Make sure the Seattle contracts are on board."He ended the call and turned t
