Chapter 001

EmilyThe muffled scream before the knife came down on her throat excited me way more than it should have.She was asleep on her back, mouth slightly open, one hand curled beneath the pillow like she didn't have a single guilty thing weighing on her conscience. I stood over her for a moment, and for the first time in years, I wasn't afraid. I thought of the bathtub, the cold water, her hand at the back of my neck. I thought of the years of abuse, and the restraints, and the word complications.She woke up as the knife came down. Her eyes found mine in the dark, wide with a fear I recognized. It was mine, worn for years, finally handed back.She didn't get to finish screaming as she choked on her own blood.Jake's door was next. I pushed it open with the knife still slick in my hand, and some small, starved part of me wanted him to wake up first. Wanted him to see me standing there and understand, even for a second, what he had built.He stirred at the sound of the door, groggy, alread

Chapter 002

ThaneI don't believe in coincidence. I believe in patterns, and leverage, and the particular kind of person who is useful to a man like me. Rare, and usually broken in exactly the right place.I had been watching her for three months.She started as a bartender at a club I owned under a name that led nowhere near Rivers Enterprises, one of a dozen quiet assets that kept my real business running beneath the one the public saw. I noticed her the way I notice anything worth noticing. Not because she stood out, but because she didn't. She was careful in a way most people are not capable of being. Controlled. She never over-poured, never flirted for tips, never let a drunk patron get a reaction out of her no matter how hard they tried. Most people wear their nerves somewhere visible. Emily wore nothing at all.That alone made her worth a background check.What I found was better than I expected. A legal name that didn't exist before she was eighteen. A paper trail that started clean and r

Chapter 003

EmilyAfter years of working for Thane Rivers I had learnt to read a room before I walked into it. That night, I misread his completely.He had called me up to the penthouse after hours, which wasn't unusual. Half our real business happened after the office emptied out, contracts no lawyer would ever see, conversations that existed nowhere on paper. I expected numbers. A shipment, a negotiation, a problem that needed my particular kind of handling.I didn't expect him standing by the window with two glasses of wine already poured, the buttons on his shirt half done, his usually perfectly slicked hair now falling on his face and no files in sight."Sir." I stayed by the door. "You said you needed the Calloway numbers reviewed tonight.""I lied." He turned, unhurried, and held one of the glasses out toward me. "Sit down, Emily."I didn't move. "I don't drink during work hours.""There is no work." He set the glass down when I didn't take it, something flickering across his face I had le

Chapter 004

What is this? and who sent it?," I asked the receptionist."It's from Mr. Rivers, he asked for it to be delivered to you personally."This was the seventh gift he had sent in the span of two weeks.A bracelet this time, with diamonds set in a line too thin and expensive to be anything but deliberate, tucked into a box with a card in Thane's handwriting:Everything you want and more, Emily. All you have to do is accept it.I packaged it back up and had it returned to his office before lunch, the way I had returned the six gifts before it. A necklace. A penthouse key I never used. A sports car, one of its kind in the country. A watch worth more than most people made in a year.Each one sent back unworn, untouched, and each one answered within days by something larger, as if refusal were simply a negotiating tactic he hadn't cracked yet.He didn't understand that I wasn't negotiating.I was grateful to him. Genuinely, in the specific, complicated way you're grateful to someone who pulled

Chapter 005

I couldn't sleep that night.I sat on my kitchen floor until the sun came up, the photograph still face down on the counter above me, and by morning I had convinced myself it was a message, nothing more. A scare tactic. Jake wanting me to know he was still breathing before he decided what to do about it.I was wrong about the timeline.The first attempt came two days later, on my way home from the office. A car that drifted too close at a crosswalk, close enough that I felt the heat of the engine against my leg before I threw myself backward onto the sidewalk due to the brakes failing. It didn't slow down.By the time I had scrambled up, cataloging the plate, the make, the driver's silhouette, it was already three blocks gone.I told myself it was a drunk driver. I had survived worse accusations of coincidence.The second attempt wasn't a coincidence.I noticed him the moment I stepped off the elevator into the parking garage. A man by the pillars who straightened too fast when he saw

Chapter 006

Staying in a hotel is not an option, Emily." Thane set his glass down on the kitchen island. "Your apartment is compromised, someone tried to put a bullet through your skull in a parking lot less than two hours ago, I'm not taking the risk of you getting killed before we make it to the registry.""I can handle a hotel suite with a secure perimeter, Thane," I said, crossing my arms. The blood beneath my fingernails was a reminder of how close Jake had come to finding me. "I don't need to be under your roof to stay alive for the next forty-eight hours.""You do if you want my protection." He removed his suit jacket and tossed it over a nearby armchair. "You moved out of your place the moment you agreed to marry me. This isn't up for debate. You're staying in the penthouse."I stared at him, searching his unreadable eyes for any room to bargain, but there was none. He never compromised when he had the upper hand, right now he did and my desperation handed it to him.He lead me down the h

Chapter 007

Thane"How long have you been standing there?"I let my gaze drag over her slowly, water still tracing the line of her throat, the towel doing a shit job of covering the rest. My cock twitched hard against my zipper."Long enough to decide the glass needs to be thinner," I said, voice rough. "Keep moving like that and I'm going to stop waiting for the wedding night."She ignored me completely. Turned her back as if I were furniture and reached for another towel, drying her hair with long, unhurried strokes. Arms raised. The first towel slipped lower on her thick hips. I watched a drop of water slide down the curve of her spine and disappear between the cheeks of her ass, and the image hit me like a fist. I imagined her bent over the marble counter, that same drop of water under my tongue while I pushed into her from behind, slow and deep until she forgot how to breathe. Two days. That was all that stood between me and the right to take every inch of her. Two days and the contract wou
