chapter one

********** The first thing Noah Vale noticed was the man watching him. Not the kind of watching you get from reporters or investors or people hoping the youngest CEO in ValeTech history might slip up and give them a headline. Nah this was really different. This was the kind of watching that made the back of your neck itch. And also the kind that made instinct whisper danger before your brain could catch up. Noah kept his expression calm as he stepped out of the black SUV car and into the cool night air of Manhattan. Cameras began to flash immediately, reporters shouting his name as security pushed them back. “Mr. Vale! Over here!” “Is the acquisition confirmed?” “Are the rumors about the board true?” He smiled politely, the same practiced smile he’d been giving the world for years. Confident, calm, and controlled But his eyes moved across the crowd again. Searching like he lost something or someone out there. ************ Across the street, leaning casuall

Chapter Two:The Problem With Marcus Blackwood

Marcus Blackwood had a problem. And the problem’s name was Noah Vale. Marcus stood in the dark apartment across the street from ValeTech Tower, one hand resting on the windowsill as he watched the building like a hunter studying prey. Thirty-two floors up, lights burned in the CEO office. Noah was still there. Of course he was. Marcus had already read the man’s entire schedule twice tonight. The youngest CEO in ValeTech history worked like he had something to prove to the entire world. But that wasn’t the part bothering Marcus. No. What bothered him was the way Noah had looked at him in the garage last night. Not afraid, or confused, he was f**king looking at me closely. ******** Marcus had spent his whole life around fear. Humans usually sensed something dangerous about him even if they didn’t understand why. But Noah Vale? The man had leaned closer. Like he wanted to see the monster better, he was fearless if I must say. Marcus exhaled slowly and opene

Chapter 3 – Something Is Wrong With Me

The first time I saw Marcus again, he was sitting at the long table in the big meeting room like he owned the whole company. I almost laughed when I saw him there. He looked like a wolf in a room full of sheep. All the other guys in suits looked small next to him. I walked in through the door and our eyes locked right away. My heart jumped hard in my chest. My cock got hard right away in my pants. It was like a switch flipped on inside me. He wore a tight black suit that fit him perfect. Same dark eyes that I remembered too well. Same look on his face that said he wanted to grab me and make me beg for it. I sat down across from him at the table. I was close enough to smell him. That smell made my skin feel hot all over like I had a fever. His breath hot on my neck. It made me want to drop everything and let him take me right there in front of everyone. But I had to stay cool. People started talking about numbers and plans for the deal. I didn’t hear a single word they said. All I c

Chapter 4

Noah’s POV If someone had told me that the next time I’d see Marcus Blackwood would be in a dark underground club at midnight, I would’ve laughed in their face. And yet there I was. The place was loud, packed, and dripping with the kind of reckless energy people came looking for when they wanted to forget who they were for a few hours. *********** The red lights pulsed across the room. Music very loud through the floor like a second heartbeat. Bodies moved together on the dance floor, sweat and perfume mixing in the thick air. ******** Ethan had dragged me here. “Bro, you need a life outside your penthouse and boardroom,” he’d said earlier while practically shoving a jacket into my hands. So now here I was, leaning against the bar in my black Gucci sweatpants and a dark hoodie, watching strangers kissing,grinding against each other like the world might end tomorrow. Ethan disappeared onto the dance floor five minutes later. Typical of my Buddy Ethan. I took a sl

Chapter 5

****** Marcus Blackwood didn’t like surprises. His life had been built around discipline, silence, and control. Every mission had rules. Every step had purpose. Tonight? None of that existed. *********** Marcus stood near the large window overlooking the skyline, he dressed very casual,as he replayed the scene from the club over and over in his head. Noah pinned against the sink. Noah’s breath catching. That soft sound that escaped his throat when Marcus kissed his neck. Marcus rubbed a hand over his face. “Damn it.” This wasn’t supposed to happen. The mission had been simple. Get close. Gain trust. Watch for signs. Then kill him. But nothing about Noah Vale felt simple anymore. Marcus could still feel the heat of Noah’s skin against his lips like the moment was burned into him. It wasn’t just attraction,Marcus was already falling for Noah. Something that felt like fate tightening its grip around both of them. Marcus trying to shake the feeling. “This is for the mi

chapter six

The Vale family knew how to throw a party, and it’s very extravagant. A Vale gala was the kind of event people talked about for months after it ended. The kind where politicians, billionaires, celebrities, and investors all gathered under the same apartment, pretending they didn’t secretly hate each other. *********** The ballroom of the Vale estate looked like something pulled straight out of a movie. Crystal lights shimmered from the high ceiling. A string quartet played softly near the balcony. Waiters moved smoothly through the crowd carrying trays of champagne and expensive wine. Everything was polished,very Elegant and perfect. Which was exactly why Noah Vale hated it. He stood behind a velvet curtain near the stage, adjusting the cuff of his black suit like it had personally offended him. “I swear,” Noah muttered, “if I survive tonight, I’m banning galas from the company forever. Behind him, Ethan his bestie laughed. “You say that every year.” “Because every year I me

CHAPTER 7 – THE HOOK

Chapter 7 The gala was a total shitshow. By the time I dragged myself out of the elevator and into my penthouse foyer, my social battery wasn’t just dead—it was buried. Hours of shaking hands with vipers, dodging my family's loaded questions, and trying to shake off that weird, lingering stare from that Kris Heather guy. Seriously, who looks at someone like they’re trying to figure out how to unhinge their jaw and swallow them whole? ********* My feet felt like lead, and my 10k dollars suit was suffocating me. I yanked my tie loose, not even bothering to pick it up when it hit the floor. "House, lights on," I muttered to the empty air, scrubbing a hand over my exhausted face. The smart-lights flickered to a dim, moody amber. I opened my eyes, ready to head straight for the shower, and my brain completely short-circuited. I wasn't alone. Sitting on my custom velvet sofa, legs spread wide and looking like the literal devil in a leather jacket, was Marcus Blackwood. He was casuall

chapter Eight

My knees hit the hardwood with a thud that vibrated up my spine. I was the CEO of a billion-dollar empire. I fired people before my morning coffee. I ran boardrooms like a small god. But looking up at Marcus Blackwood from the floor, none of that mattered. The power I spent years building felt like a house of cards, and Marcus was the gale-force wind ready to blow it all down. The shame should have been crushing. I should have felt disgusted, being ordered around like a dog in my own home. But instead, the knot that had been tightening in my chest for thirty years finally snapped, I love this feeling. I’d spent my whole life being the "Perfect Vale." No scandals, no slips, no dirt. I kept my kinks locked behind a high-security vault in my head, dreaming of someone who could actually handle the dark shit I craved for even my Friend Ethan doesn’t know this ,i wanted the control taken. I wanted the weight of the world off my shoulders, even if it meant being at the mercy of the man se

chapter nine

The handle of the door began to turn. My heart stalled. My brain screamed at me to move, to grab a weapon, to do something, but I was frozen against the cold marble of the kitchen counter. My blood was running hot and fast, a chaotic mix of adrenaline and raw, unresolved arousal, i bit my down lip. ************* Marcus didn’t hesitate. The man moved so fast he was quick,One second he was pinning me to the counter, his heat blanketing me, and the next, he had me shoved behind the massive steel frame of my refrigerator. He didn’t say a word, just pressed a finger to my lips, his eyes dark and flat. The knife in his hand caught the light in the dark. The sound of the door click. The heavy oak door swung open, hitting the wall stop with a soft thud. I stopped breathing entirely. I pressed my back so hard against the wall I felt the paint texture through my shirt. “Noah?” The voice floated into the foyer, followed by the heavy, deliberate sound of dress shoes on marble. “Hel

chapter ten

The door of La Marée swung open, letting in a rush of cool evening air. My head snapped up. My heart was already ten steps ahead of my brain, it was hopeful, reckless, and beating so hard I was sure the waiter could hear it. For a split second, the entire restaurant went dead silent. I expected him,I expected a man who matched the dark, intoxicating energy of those late-night texts. But it wasn't him,I sighed. It was just a couple. They brushed past the host, laughing too loudly, completely oblivious to the way my chest was suddenly caving in. The man caught my eye as they walked past. "Evening, Mr. Vale," he nodded, some mid-level executive I’d probably crushed in a deal two years ago. "Evening," I replied automatically, my voice flat. I swallowed hard, forcing my shoulders to drop. The disappointment didn't just hurt; it tightened around my ribs like a vice. I looked back at my table. The glass of $400 Bordeaux sat completely untouched. The empty chair across from me fe
