Adrian's POV.We sat in the private booth in the Valenti Casino, the three of us around the dark table. Soft red lights glowed low in the room. The air smelled of whiskey, and old cigar smoke Outside the heavy curtains the casino floor hummed like a living thing, the bass coming through but muffled. My pulse stayed steady, but the weight of what we were about to do pressed against my ribs. Hudson slammed the papers onto the table. The sharp crack cut through the quiet. The sheets slid a little across the wood.“The next deal is on emerald diamonds,” Hudson said, his voice stayed cool and bossy. He looked straight at me. “You’re in charge of most of the work. That was our agreement. No mistakes. No third chances.”I leaned back in the soft leather seat, knowing what he meant. "After last deal was sabotaged, he's going hard on this one. And there's no room for any mistake. Nothing must go wrong." I sighed low, tapped my fingers once on the armrest. “I’m listening.”Hudson reached down

Cara's POV.I kissed him for a while before he picked up, kissed me back. I leaned on him, kissing him hard. He didn't touch me yet but he moved his mouth just as dirty as I did. His tongue pushed past my lips. The taste of whiskey mixed with heat. All of a sudden, he pushed me, his hands on my shoulders just as heat flooded us. The silk of his robe brushed my arms.I moved closer back as soon as I sensed him hesitating. My chest pressed against his bare skin. "I'm not going to the office till evening tomorrow.. So —" I said, my lips closer to his, dragging my words. Warm breath mixed between us.In less than a second he slammed his mouth into mine, kissing me hard. His hands finally grabbed my waist. We started moving as he removed his robe. The soft fabric slid off his shoulders and fell to the floor. I started undoing my buttons as we kissed. The silk of my blouse opened under my fingers. We broke off, breathing fast as I pulled off my blouse and my bra. Cool air touched my bare br

Cara's POV.(At the office) "How did it go with Charles?" Felix sounded so curious over the phone. I didn't say anything yet. I took my eyes off Tony's desk, looking at the door then back to the file I was arranging for this evening meeting. There's no one in the office for now, as the meeting with the Valenti Board should have commenced by now. The coast is clear for me to talk now, my eyes go around for the last time."Did you have access to the Black Vault?" He asked another curious question."I'm nowhere close to that," I said, biting my lips, my voice low, frustrated and confused at the same time, my mind foggy. The soft flesh of my lip pressed between my teeth."Wait.. What did you mean?" Felix asked, stuttering on his words, probably taken aback by the news. "I thought you had him at his place.. In his own private place.. What —""I just never got a chance. He wasn't in his room by morning," I said my thoughts out, cutting him off. My mind kept replaying this morning —When I o

Cara's POV.I stepped into Charles' mansion, making my way through the checkpoints from his few guards. I didn't even have to use his card which felt out of the blue because I was just granted a free pass all the way through. I smirked, wondering if he's given them an order, favoring me since I'm not just anyone now. I cleared my throat loudly, flipped my hair, and entered his house. I didn't stroll around, just found my way to his study.I opened the door hard, saw him seated, working behind his desk. "He must be in full work mode," I concluded in my head, seeing him for the first time in glasses, focused on the papers he was holding. "It's about time —" he said, raising his head, his gaze landing on me sharp. I laughed out loud, taking slow steps into the room. "About time?" I said out loud, so amazed about how diabolical that just sounds coming from the man who ditched me."Sorry that I left you alone after we fucked the other night," he said my thoughts loud, taking his glasses of

Cara's POV.(Another day in the office.)"What's it with your makeup today?" Tony's voice cut through my mind that still unsettled from last night. Still burning from what one man did to me, all laced in foundation and blush... I hastened my footsteps back after I slowed down when he hit me with that question. I never thought he would notice."Umm.. Nothing," I said, my voice a bit shaky and rough as I stuttered a little, caught off guard. We kept walking down the long hallway. Soft light from the tall windows touched the floor. The air smelled of coffee and clean paper. Our footsteps echoed lightly."You just look a bit different. It doesn't bother me at all," He said, his tone calm, walking steady. His hands stayed in his pockets."Good.. I rather have you notice my makeup than the faint mark on my neck." My mind replayed this morning routine. In front of the bathroom mirror I had stood still for a long time. Cool air from the vent touched my bare shoulders. I tilted my head and slo
