Chapter 71- safe. Mine

Astrid’s POV I woke to the weight of his gaze. A slow, delicious throb pulsed between my thighs, a reminder of how completely he had me. I kept my eyes shut tight, pretending sleep could still protect me. How was I supposed to look at him after last night? A warm finger brushed my hair back, tucking a loose strand behind my ear with surprising gentleness. “I know you’re awake, Velvet.” His voice was low, rough with morning and something softer underneath. I pressed my lips together and squeezed my eyes harder. “No, I’m not.” A quiet chuckle rumbled from his chest. Then his lips brushed my left eyelid, then the right—feather-light kisses that made my stomach flutter traitorously. “Are you shy?” he asked, amusement threading through the words. “After everything you let me do to you?” Heat flooded my face. I felt the mattress dip as he shifted closer, his body heat wrapping around me like a second skin. “Open your eyes,” he murmured, “or we go for another round right now.”

Chapter 72:The empire can wait.

Xavier’s POV She was going to be the death of me. Astrid sat curled in my lap like she belonged there, wearing nothing but my shirt, her bare thighs warm against mine. Every small shift of her body tested every ounce of control I had left. I kept one hand splayed across her stomach, the other lazily playing with the ends of her hair, trying to memorize the way she felt when she wasn’t running from me. I had spent three years planning this — planning her. And now that I finally had her, I was trying not to devour her whole on the first full day. “You’re really not going into the office?” she asked, voice soft. I pressed my lips to her shoulder. “The empire can wait.” You can’t. She traced a finger along my collarbone, and my muscles tightened under her touch. This girl had no idea what she did to me. How dangerous she was. I carried her to the living room and settled on the couch with her back against my chest. Having her this close, trusting me even a little, settled something

Chapter 73: You're beautiful

Astrid’s POV I was playing a dangerous game. Xavier’s mouth was still on mine, hungry and claiming, his hands gripping my hips like he could fuse us together. I kissed him back with equal heat, threading my fingers through his hair, letting out a soft sound that wasn’t entirely fake. On the surface, I was melting into him. Inside, my mind was spinning like a trapped bird looking for an open window. If he believes I’m choosing him… if he thinks I’m starting to want this… maybe he’ll slip. Maybe he’ll give me space. A phone. A code. A single moment of trust. When we finally broke apart, I rested my forehead against his, breathing hard. His eyes were dark with satisfaction, like he’d just won something precious. “You’re staying,” he murmured, voice rough. “With me.” I gave him a small, shy smile I’d practiced in mirrors since I was a girl. “I’m tired of fighting you, Xavier.” It wasn’t entirely a lie. Part of me was tired. But the bigger part was calculating. He watched me for a

Chapter 74: morning

Xavier’s POV She was starting to break. I woke with Astrid curled against my chest, her breathing soft and even, one leg tangled between mine like she belonged there. The morning light cut across the bed, catching on the gold chain around her throat. Eres Mío. My fingers brushed the pendant without thinking. Mine. Finally. She stirred when I moved, eyes fluttering open. For a second I saw something guarded in them, but then she gave me that small, sleepy smile and pressed closer. Progress. Sweet, dangerous progress. “Morning,” she murmured, voice still husky from sleep. I slid my hand down her spine, settling on the curve of her ass. “You stayed.” Her laugh was quiet, almost shy. “Didn’t have much choice. You sleep like you’re trying to cage me even in your dreams.” I smirked and rolled her beneath me, pinning her wrists gently above her head. “Smart girl.” I kissed her slowly, taking my time, tasting the way she softened under me. She kissed me back. Not hesitant anymore. Not

Chapter 75;you did

Xavier’s POV She was getting under my skin in the worst way. Astrid stood in the middle of the private range I kept two floors below the penthouse, wearing one of my black shirts that hit her mid-thigh and nothing else. Her hair was still damp from the shower, and every time she shifted, the fabric rode up just enough to remind me exactly what she looked like underneath. Dangerous girl. I had brought her down here after breakfast. She was softening, letting me touch her without that constant edge of fear in her eyes, but I wanted more. I wanted her to understand my world. To stand in it without flinching. “Guns aren’t toys, Velvet,” I said, stepping behind her. I pressed my chest to her back, one arm wrapping around her waist to steady her. She smelled like my soap and warm skin. “They’re insurance.” She leaned into me slightly. “Then teach me.” I reached around her, placing the sleek black pistol in her hands. My fingers covered hers, guiding her grip. “Like this. Firm. Don’t

Chapter 76: Coffee?

Astrid’s POV Xavier was getting clingy. Each passing day he wrapped himself tighter around me like I might vanish if he blinked too long. This morning was no different. He had me pinned against the kitchen counter, one big hand cupping my jaw while the other gripped my hip like it belonged there. His kiss was hard, demanding, the kind that left my lips swollen and my knees unsteady. When he finally pulled back, his forehead rested against mine. “I don’t want to leave you.” I smiled the way I’d practiced — soft, a little shy, a little wanting. “You have an empire to run. Go.” He kissed me again, slower this time, like he was trying to memorize the taste of me. “Be good, Velvet. Ava’s here if you need anything.” “I’ll be fine,” I said, brushing my fingers along his jaw. Inside my head I was already calculating how many minutes I might have alone once he walked out that door. He lingered another long moment, eyes dark and possessive, before he finally stepped back. The elevator d

Chapter 77:stay out of trouble

Astrid’s POV Xavier was becoming impossible. He had me pressed against the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window, the city glittering far below like scattered diamonds. His mouth was on my neck, hot and insistent, one hand tangled in my hair while the other gripped my hip hard enough to leave marks. I kissed him back like I meant it, letting out a soft sound that made his grip tighten. “Stay out of trouble,” he murmured against my skin, voice rough. “I won’t be long.” I smiled against his jaw, fingers tracing the edge of his collar. “I’ll be good.” He pulled back just enough to look at me, eyes dark and searching. For a second I thought he could see straight through the performance. Then he kissed me once more, hard and claiming, before finally stepping away. The elevator doors closed behind him with a soft, final sound. I let out a slow breath and touched my swollen lips. The necklace felt heavier than usual against my collarbone. Keep playing the part, I reminded myself. Make

Chapter 78

Astrid’s POV The discovery sat in my chest like a live wire. I lay beneath Xavier, his weight a solid, warm anchor, while his mouth moved slowly down my neck. Every kiss was deliberate, like he had all the time in the world to map out what belonged to him. I arched into him the way he liked, threading my fingers through his hair, letting out a soft sound that wasn’t entirely calculated. My body remembered how good this felt. My mind kept screaming about the folder in his desk. She’s alive. The thought wouldn’t leave me alone. My mother — the ghost I had mourned for years — was breathing somewhere in Zurich, and Xavier had known. Had kept her from me like some carefully guarded secret. “You’re quiet tonight,” he murmured against my collarbone. His hand slid under the hem of his shirt I was wearing, palm warm against my stomach. I forced a small smile and tilted my head to give him better access. “Just thinking.”

Chapter 79: You're clingy

Xavier’s POV She was getting too good at this. Astrid lay curled against my chest, her breathing slow and even, one bare leg thrown over mine like she belonged there. The morning light filtered through the windows and caught on the gold chain around her throat. Eres Mío. The sight of it against her skin still did something primal to me. I traced the pendant with my thumb, feeling the steady beat of her pulse underneath. She stirred, eyes fluttering open. For a split second I caught something guarded in them, but then she gave me that small, sleepy smile and pressed closer, her hand sliding across my chest. “Morning,” she murmured, voice husky. I tightened my arm around her waist and rolled us so she was half beneath me. “Morning, Velvet.” I kissed her slowly, taking my time, tasting the way she softened under me. She kissed me back without hesitation now, her fingers threading through my hair, her body arching ju

Chapter 80:Ready to go home

Astrid’s POV Xavier’s fingers were tracing slow circles on my bare thigh when he said it. “Come with me to the office today.” I blinked, lifting my head from his chest. We were still tangled in bed, the sheets twisted around us from another night of his hands on my skin and his mouth whispering things that made my stomach tighten. I had expected him to leave me here like always, locked safely in the penthouse with Ava’s sharp tongue for company. “You’re letting me leave?” The words slipped out before I could soften them. He gave me that half-smirk, the one that used to terrify me and now made something warm and dangerous unfurl low in my belly. His hand slid higher under the shirt I wore, possessive but gentle. “You’ve been good, Velvet. And I want you close.” I searched his face, trying to read the trap. This was new. He had kept me here for days, wrapped in silk and his scent and his constant touch. Now he was
