DAMIEN  "No." Her answer is immediate. "I don't want anyone but you.""Then let me handle it. Not because you can't, but because it's the most efficient solution that protects both you and the business relationship." I pull her close. "This isn't about control. It's about strategy. About using my position to deal with someone who's using his position to pursue you."She's quiet."What will you say to him?""The truth. That you're in a committed relationship with me. That while we appreciate his professional interest in the project, any personal overtures toward my team members, especially you, are inappropriate and unwelcome. That future communications should go through proper channels." I kiss her forehead. "All very di

DAMIENI break every traffic law getting to the construction site.Noah is driving because I physically can't; my hands are shaking too badly. The moment I heard her voice on that phone, I heard the terror in her voice as she screamed my name."She's alive," Noah says firmly. "The security confirmed that, but she's shaken, though unharmed.""If they touched her...""They didn't get her. She fought them off long enough for backup to arrive."The SUV screeches to a stop at the construction site. They are police everywhere. Ambulances. Construction workers giving statements.And Elara.She's sitting on the back of an ambulance, wrapped in a blanket, talking to a paramedic. When she sees me, her face crumples.I cross the distance in seconds, pulling her into my arms and holding her so tight she gasps."I've got you," I whisper into her hair. "I've got you. You're safe. You're safe."She's crying into my chest, her hands fisting my shirt. "They tried to take me. They were going to...""Bu

ELARA Damien follows me to bed, but sleep doesn’t come easily for either of us.The master bedroom is vast and dark, the heavy curtains drawn tight against the restless ocean outside. The only light is the faint red glow of the bedside clock that reads 3:47 a.m. ....casting bloody shadows across the high ceiling and the silk sheets that feel cool and slippery against my overheated skin. Damien’s body is a furnace when he pulls me against his chest, spooning me possessively, with one heavy arm banded around my waist, his palm splayed flat over my stomach as if anchoring me to him, afraid I’ll slip away in the night.His breath is warm on my neck, steady at first, but I feel the tension thrumming through every muscle pressed to my back, it is hard, unyielding, and vibrating with barely leashed rage and fear. The scent of him surrounds me like a cloak...cedar cologne faded to warm skin, with faint sweat from the day’s stress, and his underlying musk of male heat that always makes my mou

ELARA "Money. Power. My son's empire." He takes a step closer. "But more than that? I want him to feel what I felt when he destroyed my life. When he testified against me and sent me to prison. When he took everything from me.""You destroyed your own life. You abused your children.""I disciplined them." Another step. "I made them strong. Made Damien into what he is today... ruthless, powerful, and unstoppable. He should thank me.""He'll kill you for this.""Perhaps." He smiles. "But first, I'm going to take you. And when he arrives, desperate and broken, I'm going to make him choose. His empire or your life. His money or your safety. Let's see what he values more.""He'll choose me." I don't hesitate. "He'll always choose me.""Then I'll have destroyed him completely." Richard's smile widens. "Because a man who gives up everything for love is a man with nothing. And I'll finally h

ELARA  Thirty-six hours later, they arrive.I watch from the upstairs window as three black helicopters land on the helipad one after the other. Men pour out of it, like twenty of them, moving with military precision. They're dressed in tactical gear, armed with weapons I don't recognize, their faces hard and alert.Commander Hayes is the first to enter the house. He's in his mid-forties, scarred, with eyes that have seen too much. He salutes Damien like they're back in a war zone."Sir. Team Alpha reporting for duty.""Commander." Damien shakes his hand. "Threat assessment?""We've swept the perimeter. Found three weak points in your security that the previous team missed. Already reinforcing them. Sniper positions have been established on the roof and the cliff. Motion sensors deployed in a two-mile radius. Nothing gets close without us knowing.""Good. This is Elara Blake." Damien pulls m
