All Chapters of Taming The Hart Brothers: Chapter 21 - Chapter 27

"A lesson?" Kai repeated, his dark brows pulling together as he brought the motorcycle to a smooth stop in the private subterranean garage of the penthouse. He cut the engine, the low roar dying down to a heavy silence. "Scarlett, I don't need a lesson." "You just told me you don't know how to hold a woman," I said, unbuckling my helmet and shaking out my hair. I leaned against the seat, looking at him through the dim garage light. Kai was undeniably stunning, strikingly handsome in a way that felt almost unreal. While Damon had a rough, terrifying grace and Theo possessed a golden, playboy charm, Kai had a sharp, sculptured perfection. High cheekbones, dark, almond-shaped eyes that seemed to see right through you, and a jawline carved from dark granite. "I didn't say I was a virgin," Kai said flatly, turning his head to look at me. His tone was smooth, unbothered. "Women approach me. I don't go looking for them. I know how to satisfy a woman in bed, Scarlett. I just don't do 'd

The drive back to the penthouse was an agonizing, suffocating silence. Damon didn't take his SUV. He forced me into the passenger seat of his dark Maybach, his knuckles white as he gripped the steering wheel, driving through the city streets like a man possessed. Kai followed directly behind us on his sport bike, the low roar of his engine a constant, trailing tail in the rear-view mirror. When the elevator doors hissed open to the top-floor penthouse, the atmosphere inside was already volatile. ** Lucien stood near the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, a crystal glass of whiskey balanced between his fingers. Theo was sprawled lazily across the sectional sofa, tossing a leather-bound knife into the air and catching it until he looked up and caught the expression on Damon's face. "Well, well," Theo murmured, catching the blade by the hilt, his golden eyes sparkling with reckless amusement. "Look who decided to return from their little midnight rendezvous. Lucien was just about to l

I didn't take the elevator down to the lobby, and I certainly didn't wait for Kai or Theo to chaperon me like a disgraced child. Instead, I took the stairwell up to the roof of Hart Global, letting the door slam shut behind me. The crisp morning wind tore through my dark hair, whipping it across my face as I walked to the edge of the glass ledge, staring out over the sprawling city sky. My knuckles were white where I gripped the metal railing, my heart hammering a fierce, angry rhythm against my ribs. Apologize. Lucien’s freezing voice echoed in my head, sending a fresh wave of white-hot fury through my veins. He had stood there in his pristine three-piece suit, looking down at me as if I were nothing more than a street rat who didn't know her place. He had chosen Liza’s pathetic, tearful theater act over me without a second thought, prioritizing his corporate reputation over the truth. "They're all the same," I whispered to the empty air, my voice laced with venom. "Cold, arrog
