LOGINChapter 6Aurora’s POVRonan moved before I even knew what was happening. He grabbed my arm and shoved me lower behind the cabinet as another bullet ripped through the window, spraying broken glass across the floor.“Stay down.” His voice was sharp, leaving no room for argument. More shots followed, louder this time, getting into the walls around us. My heart hammered so hard it hurt.“They found us.”“I know.”He checked the magazine in his pistol, then looked at me. There wasn’t a trace of panic on his face, only the calm focus I’d always admired.“When I say run, you don’t stop. Don’t look back. Just run.”“I’m not leaving you.”“You won’t be. I’ll be right behind you.”I wanted to believe him. Fuck, I really wanted to.He counted under his breath. “Three… two… one… now!”We burst out from behind the cabinet, and more gunfire exploded around us.Ronan fired twice without breaking stride, forcing two men back into cover before dragging me toward the back door. My lungs burned as I s
Chapter 5Aurora’s POV“How could he do this to me after everything,” I said, staring at the scattered papers on the table where Ronan sat. The full files showed my father had been feeding information to the rivals the whole time using the threats to push me out of the company and keep control. My hands shook as I picked up one page reading the cold words again. “I’m his daughter, not some pawn he can sacrifice.”Ronan stood right beside me, his arm brushing mine every time I moved. He had been glued to my side since the new evidence dropped and I didn’t push him away this time. “He made his choice, Aurora. Now you make yours. I’m getting you out of this mess no matter what it costs.”I turned and looked up at him, my chest tightened with anger and that scared me more. “Why are you still here risking your life for me? You could walk away and let the rich girl deal with her own family shit. Most men would.”He cupped my face with one big hand, his thumb stroking my cheek. “Because th
Chapter 4Aurora’s POV“I can’t believe this is happening right now,” I said, pacing the bedroom in the safe house with my silk robe hanging open. My legs still felt shaky from how hard Ronan fucked me earlier but the new message on his secure laptop had everything spinning. “My own father? The man who raised me sending threats to keep me in line? That can’t be real Ronan, tell me it’s not.”Ronan stood by the window checking the perimeter again before turning back to me. His shirt was still off showing all those muscles and scars that made my mouth water even while my chest hurt. “We don’t have full proof yet but the patterns match. The timing of the threats lines up with your last argument about taking over the company. He might be trying to scare you into staying quiet.”I stopped pacing and walked right up to him shoving at his chest even though he didn’t budge. Tears burned in my eyes but I refused to let them fall. “I thought he was the one who sent you? He’s supposed to pro
Chapter 3Aurora’s POV“This car is too small for both of us and you know it,” I complained as soon as the black SUV pulled away from the underground garage. The new threat had come through just an hour ago forcing us to relocate to a safe house outside the city. Ronan sat next to me in the back seat, his thigh pressed tight against mine because of the narrow space. Every bump in the road made our bodies rub together and I could feel the heat coming off him through his pants.Ronan kept his eyes on the road ahead but his hand stayed close to my leg ready to pull me down if anything happened. “Stop complaining. The windows are tinted and the route is secure. You stay low until we reach the location.”I shifted in my seat trying to create space but my dress from earlier had ridden all the way up my thighs. My pussy lips brushed the leather seat and I was already wet again from being this close to him for so long. “You act like I’m a child who can’t handle a little danger. I’ve been
Chapter 2Aurora’s POV“You’ve got to be kidding me with this shit,” I said the next morning as I tried to step out of my bedroom and found Ronan already standing right there in the hallway. I had barely slept after our fight last night. My body still felt hot and restless thinking about how close he stood while telling me I couldn’t go anywhere alone. My pussy had stayed wet for hours afterward and I ended up fingering myself twice in the dark just to take the edge off.Ronan didn’t even blink at my tone. He wore another tight black shirt that showed every muscle in his arms and chest. “Breakfast is ready in the kitchen. You eat first then we review today’s schedule.”I laughed right in his face and pushed past him anyway making sure my shoulder brushed his chest. The contact sent a spark straight to my clit. “I don’t take orders from you on when I eat. I have my own routine and it doesn’t include you hovering over me like a damn prison guard.”He followed me down the hall without
Chapter 1Aurora’s POV“This is ridiculous,” I snapped the second the tall bastard stepped into my penthouse living room. I crossed my arms tight under my breasts, pushing them up on purpose just to see if he’d look, but the coward didn’t. His eyes stayed locked on my face as if I was just some annoying package he had to deliver. That pissed me off more than anything.Ronan stood there in a black shirt, sleeves rolled up to show his forearms covered in veins and old scars. Ex-special forces, they said. Older than me by at least fifteen years. My stomach did this flip that had nothing to do with fear.“I don’t need a fucking babysitter,” I continued, tilting my chin up. My silk robe slipped a little off one shoulder, the cool air brushing my skin. Underneath I wore just a tiny lace thong and a thin camisole that didn’t hide how hard my nipples were getting from the adrenaline of hating him already. “My father’s being dramatic. These threats are probably just business rivals blowing
Chapter 1Irene’s POV“You think you can just walk around this house like you own the damn place now?” my stepfather barked, slamming his hand on the kitchen counter.His face was bright red. “Ever since you turned twenty-two you’ve been nothing but disrespectful and reckless. Parading around in th
Chapter 5 Irene’s POV“What’s this?” my stepfather demanded, holding up my silk robe. “Irene, you left your robe in my study like it’s your damn bedroom?”I shrugged, heart racing. “I was feeling hot, so I left it there before going to shower.”“Really? Or is there something else I should know?”“
Chapter 4Irene’s POVI slipped out of the study and went straight to my room before my stepfather could walk in.The fear of getting caught just made me want Victor more. Every secret text, every quick touch in the hallway when my stepfather was just around the corner turned me on so much I could
Chapter 3Irene’s POV“What the hell were you doing down there?” my stepfather asked sharply.“Nothing. I couldn’t sleep, so I took a walk around the house,” I replied nonchalantly.“Nothing? Dressed like that when Victor is still here?” His eyes narrowed as I went upstairs.Victor appeared in the
