Chapter 21 – What’s Your Problem?Christopher LawsonI hate feeling what I feel for Juliet. I know my brother is in love with her. Even if I also know he’ll never have a real shot, because the way she looks at Oliver is pure friendship, almost sisterly, nothing more.I can’t do that to him.But fuck, I wanted her the second I laid eyes on her. That smile that hooks you and doesn’t let go. That perfect body. The delicate way she tucks her blonde hair behind her ear. Her polite, almost old-fashioned manners. The fierce love she has for her kids. The way her cheeks and neck flush crimson when someone compliments her… or when she catches me staring. And those eyes. Jesus Christ, those blue eyes could bring a man to his knees.But I can’t want her. I’m not the right man. She deserves better. The things I’ve done, the things I like to do to women in the dark… That’s not for my sweet Ju. Never for her.Still, I’m always close. Even when she doesn’t see me, I’m there. Not like some creep. Lik

Chapter 23 – I Value HonestyJuliet PierceI was still drowning in the memory of Noah’s kiss when Chris’s lips took over my mind. What the hell is happening to me? How did I end up here, torn between two men who set my body on fire in completely different ways?I warned Samy that Noah was picking us up. What happened with Chris stayed locked behind my teeth, just like I’d asked him to keep it quiet.My phone buzzed.Already waiting.One last look in the mirror, a deep breath, and I walked into the living room. The kids were ready for Celeste’s. I kissed them goodbye, found Samy in the hallway.“Why is Noah picking us up?” she asked, brow arched.“We… had a moment today. Then he just said he was coming.”“Are you two together? Like together together?”“No.” The word came out fast. “You know exactly what kind of relationships Noah has. And I don’t want that.”Samy just nodded.We went downstairs.There he was, leaning against a different car (still a beast, but this one had four seats),

Chapter 25 – What’s MineNoah BlakeMy vision was still red. My knuckles throbbed, but the pain was nothing compared to the inferno roaring inside me. I looked for Juliet in the chaos.She didn’t come to me. She went to him.“Chris…” Her hand cupped his face like it belonged there.I clenched my fist so hard I felt the skin split again.“I’m fine, sweetheart,” Lawson said, wiping blood from his lip with that smug fucking grin. “Blake’s gonna have to hit harder than that.”“You should go,” she told him, voice shaking as she took his hand.I took one step forward. The look she shot me stopped me cold.“Blake, what the fuck was that?” Declan barked.I didn’t answer. Couldn’t. My eyes were locked on them.Atlas’s hand landed on my shoulder. “Let him leave.”Lawson started walking, Juliet at his side like she was his to protect.I turned to Atlas, voice lethal.“He leaves. She stays.”Atlas met my eyes, saw I wasn’t asking, and stepped aside.Lawson stopped right in front of me.“My mistak

Chapter 27 – She Said YesNoah BlakeI was ready to move heaven and hell for this woman. Juliet Pierce had wrecked my mind without even trying. And now here I was, coaxing a single word out of her that would change everything.A word that came wrapped in a moan, voice trembling, eyes glassy, body shaking against my fingers like she’d been waiting for this moment since the first time I ever looked at her.Truth is, I’ve been waiting since the first time I saw her.“Yes…”That was it. Juliet Pierce was officially mine.But this “yes” was different from every other one I’d ever heard. It didn’t mean submission. It meant relationship.I was used to commands. To instant obedience. To “Yes, Sir” without hesitation. But from now on, with my Ju, every yes would be a gift. Every surrender a treasure I’d never dare waste.My hand was still between her thighs, feeling her heat, her trembling, her need. Her body was screaming even when her words couldn’t.She bit her lower lip, eyes half-lidded,

Chapter 29 – GhostedJuliet PierceI still couldn’t believe everything that had happened to me in a single day. Lunch with Atlas. That moment with Chris. The fistfight. And now… this.Girlfriend. Did I really agree to be Noah Blake’s girlfriend? God, I felt like a teenager again.I ran back into the main room and, of course, crashed straight into Dominic.“Whoa, careful, sweetheart!”“Dom, sorry!” I blurted, nerves shot.“No harm done. You okay?”“Yeah, thanks… just need to get back to work.”“Anytime you need anything, I’m around.”I nodded and hurried off. Dominic is FBI. Not just any agent, one of the big shots. Atlas told me. Two weeks in this club and I’ve learned there’s every kind of powerful man here.The rest of the night flew by. Noah never came out of his office.“Ugh, I’m dead,” Samy groaned, collapsing onto a couch. “All I want is to put my feet up.”“Same,” I said, dropping beside her. She immediately swung her legs across my lap, giving me puppy eyes for a foot rub.Atl
