In the glittering corporate empire of Apple City, power is everything—and no rivalry burns hotter than the one between billionaire CEOs Kael Virex and Lucian Thorne.

When Thorne Dynamics suddenly collapses, Kael finally claims the victory he has chased for years.

What begins as a cruel display of control quickly turns dangerous when one reckless demand pulls them into a night neither can forget. Kael expected submission. Instead, he finds himself drawn deeper into an obsession he can no longer deny, while Lucian remains calm, unreadable, and far from defeated. As tension turns into a volatile attraction, Kael uncovers a hidden conspiracy behind Lucian’s downfall. His own trusted CFO, Adrian Kross, working with the secretive Helix Circle, has manipulated both empires for a larger takeover—and Kael is next. Forced into an uneasy alliance, Kael and Lucian must fight side by side against enemies hidden behind wealth, betrayal, and power. But in a city where control means survival, the greatest risk may not be losing their empires It may be losing their hearts to the one person they were meant to destroy

Once again the oxygen from my lungs was stolen at the sight of her. I cursed my night vision and knew I was going to be punished when I got home for what I was about to do. Just a kiss. One little kiss wouldn’t hurt, would it? I took a deep breath as I moved closer to her. She shifted nervously. “I-” I pulled her against my body, silencing her words with a passionate kiss. She gasped and I took the opportunity to thrust my tongue inside of her mouth. When she melted against me, I lost control. This was not the plan, but I couldn’t resist her. I picked her up before pressing her against the wall behind her. I know I had been warned against pursuing her, but it was too late for that. I had claimed her first kiss, and now I wanted all of her firsts. My hand moved under her short skirt to brush her wetness. I closed my eyes as she spread her legs. Fuck. I was screwed.

I pulled back to look into her eyes, trying to resist temptation. She touched her lips, and her eyes closed. Fuck. I was so screwed. I knew at that moment that she was going to be my first, too. ******** Sequel to Hunting Her Hunters. This is Osprey's journey to finding his mate.
