IVY’S POVIt was past two in the morning, and sleep was nowhere in sight because of the thoughts consuming my mind.I lay on my back, staring up at the white ceiling of the nursery. Every time I closed my eyes, the memories of yesterday kept replaying.I could still hear the sound of bullets flying out of guns and the glass of the window shattering as I covered Ava’s trembling body with mine on the floor of the SUV. The shooter had fired thrice and only stopped when Mark swerved out of the school compound.The fact that the gunman waited until we were inside before opening fire, and didn’t pursue us, confused me deeply.Too restless to sleep, I sat up and wrapped my arms tight around my knees as a shudder ran through me.Had they done that to threaten us? Or was the real target me, not Ava or Mark? Since I was with them, maybe they tried to send a warning instead. But who on earth had I offended that would want me dead?My first thought moved to Helen Carter. I could still remember ho

DAMIEN’S POVSince my study was farther down the hallway, we both decided on her room. The moment we slipped inside and the door clicked shut, I grabbed her chin and slammed my lips onto hers.Kissing her was all I had thought about for the past two days and now that I finally had her soft lips pressed against mine, I wanted my fill.I slid my hands down to grip her ass, pulling her up onto her toes. A low whimper escaped her as the kiss grew deeper and messier and I would have kissed her forever if my patience didn’t snap right there.I stripped her robe, nightdress, and thong off her body in a few swift movements. I could appreciate her wearing them some other time; right now, I needed skin on skin. My eyes swept over her naked body, and my cock strained hard against my trousers. Every inch of her was beautiful, and she was mine.My gaze locked onto her big breasts. I couldn't resist dropping my head to take one rosy nipple into my mouth, sucking and biting gently while my hand knea

IVY’S POVI almost fell flat on my face from the way I scrambled out of bed the second the doorknob twisted.The nerves in my body were all over the place as I grabbed my robe, frantically trying to shove my arms through the sleeves.“The door is locked. I locked it when we came in.” Damien casually announced when I pushed my hand through the first sleeve.“Oh, thank God,” I muttered, ignoring him as he raised an eyebrow at my hysteria.The fact that the door was locked did little to calm me down because it didn’t change the fact that someone was outside and he was still sprawled across my bed.The person knocking had to be Greta. She’d promised to check up on me after I told her about the shooting earlier today. But right now, I didn't know if she was here because she actually wanted to check on me or because she had heard me moaning like a fool at three in the morning.“Ivy? Are you in there?”Yep, my guess was right. It was Greta.“Ivy!” She called out again, knocking harder again

DAMIEN’S POVThis used to be my favorite place in the world.Back then, even while married to Serena, I barely went home, keeping a mini bedroom set up right behind the office so I never had to leave.But that was before the woman who currently rented every inch of my mind came along.Ivy had been all I thought about while we finalized the acquisition with Vancouver Logistics this morning.And even now, while I sat behind my desk authorizing the final wire transfer for the closing funds, she was still the only thing on my mind.We stayed up until four this morning and before I left her room, I turned her over and fucked her on all fours, filling her so deep with my cum that she’d be carrying the weight of it all day.I couldn't get enough of her.I’d briefly considered bringing her to the office with me, but aside from how awkward it would make her feel, especially with me tied up in back-to-back meetings, I knew I wouldn't get a single damn thing done with her sitting in the same roo

DAMIEN’S POVI used to think Edward Sinclair was a smart man.I mean, he was a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, held a PhD from MIT, and had a list of awards for his contributions to theoretical physics and quantum computing. After school, while inheriting his father’s manufacturing company, he also set up a booming enterprise in advanced synthetic bio-engineering which was currently valued at over four billion dollars.But after Mark called his name as the man who had paid the thugs to attack Ivy and Ava, I concluded that I had been wrong all along. It’s no surprise people say education doesn’t equal common sense.I should have realized this earlier after he ruined his own daughter’s life for useless reasons. But back then, I made up an excuse for him because that’s how selfish most men in this business were.After the thugs confessed, Mark and Samuel killed them as I’d instructed before coming to join the rest of my guards as we made our way straight to the Sinclair residen
