By the time Claire and Lucas emerged from the conference room, the office had already emptied out for the day.Claire made her way back to her desk, where a cluster of female coworkers swarmed her immediately. "Claire! You actually landed President Kane! That's incredible!"Claire just smiled, grabbed her bag, and left without a word.Lucas watched from the doorway as she pulled away in a white Tesla.He touched his own mouth absently, her scent still lingering there. A faint smile crossed his face before he turned and climbed into his own car.A sapphire-blue Ferrari 488 Spider roared past her Tesla moments later.Claire caught a glimpse of him through the window black sunglasses, effortlessly polished, a small smile tugging at his mouth.Back at her apartment, she peeled off the black bodycon dress, only to remember that her bra hadn't survived the conference room encounter. She'd walked out of the office wearing nothing but the blouse underneath.The memory sent heat rushing to her

Lucas's eyes burned as he undid a few buttons on his black shirt, revealing the firm lines of his chest underneath. His jaw tensed, his throat working as he spoke low, rough, magnetic."Come here, fairy."Claire turned in the water, sending ripples across the glowing pool, her feet kicking up a light spray around her.She smiled, all mischief, her eyes bright with challenge."Lucas.""Come get me."Her voice was pure invitation.His eyes narrowed with amusement, and he shed the rest of his clothes without ceremony, revealing the kind of build that came from actual discipline, not luck. He walked straight to the edge of the pool.He hit the water with a splash and closed the distance between them with startling speed sleek, fast, utterly focused on her.Claire's eyes widened, delight and heat both flaring at once.He's like an overeager kid, she thought, charmed despite herself.She let the water carry her, cheeks flushed, eyes shining with quiet laughter.Lucas grinned, wicked and u

"Not here."Claire was thoroughly captivated by this point, but she'd never been one for backseat encounters. She looped her arms around his neck and murmured the words against his ear, soft and certain.Julian pulled back, taking in her flushed face, and smiled, low and wicked. "Okay."He helped her straighten her dress, walked her to the passenger seat, and slid behind the wheel.Claire settled back, glancing around the interior with mild curiosity.The car smelled faintly of lavender, every surface finished in something clearly expensive.This wasn't just any luxury car.She caught sight of the emblem on the steering wheel and went momentarily still.A limited-edition Bugatti Veyron. Worth somewhere north of fifty million.Who exactly is this man?Clearly someone with serious money behind him.She'd thought landing someone like Lucas wealthy, gorgeous, powerful had already been an enormous stroke of luck.And now, somehow, she'd caught someone who matched him on every front.Guess

Highgrove Estate sat on the western edge of Meridian City, tucked against the cool base of the hills. It was its own private world complete with private roads, its own security, and a reputation as the most exclusive residential enclave in the city.Lucas Kane did not take Claire Bennett back to the villa they had used before. He drove her straight to Highgrove, the place he preferred above all others.The white Koenigsegg glided through the gates. Claire watched the grounds roll past the window: perfectly clipped lawns, a still blue artificial lake, and elegant pavilions half-hidden among the trees. Everything spoke of quiet, expensive power.The car stopped in front of a grand European-style villa. White stone walls were carved with delicate details; floor-to-ceiling windows flashed in the late light.Lucas stepped out, opened her door, and lifted her into his arms without a word. The scent of his cologne wrapped around her as he carried her inside.The living room was vast and spar

The Koenigsegg rolled smoothly through traffic.Claire turned to look at him, a teasing smile on her lips. "President Kane really is something, having a suitor that devoted."She had no intention of competing with Vanessa Sinclair for anything Lucas was already exactly her type without the added drama.He was gorgeous, wealthy, and impossible to ignore. Frankly, what woman wouldn't be interested?Lucas kept one hand on the wheel, a faint, wicked smile tugging at his mouth."Fine by me."Claire pressed on, curiosity getting the better of her. "So she wasn't lying? You really weren't interested in women before?""Wasn't. Until you."His voice came out low and easy, and something about the simplicity of it landed harder than it should have.Claire felt a small, private thrill at that.Could it be, she thought, that I really was his first?"So before me there'd genuinely been no one?"She kept nudging, patient, curious.His hands stayed loose and elegant on the wheel, pale against the bla
