LOGINChapter 4
Skye's POV He knew my name. "You knew me‚" I choked out‚ my nails clawing into the fabric of his suit jacket. "This whole time you stood there and pretended you didn't know who I was—" His finger thrust inside me again. The gasp that tore from my throat was so sharp it bounced off every steel wall of the elevator and came back to me like a slap. My mouth fell open‚ my spine arched‚ and my hands gripped his shoulders so hard my knuckles turned white. "Still talking?" he murmured‚ his lips brushing the shell of my ear. "You— you have no right to— nngh—" He curled his finger against a spot inside me that made my entire body seize. My knees gave out and he slammed his hips forward‚ pinning me harder against the wall‚ his thigh between mine‚ holding me up with nothing but the weight of his body and the finger buried inside me. "You played me‚" I gasped. "You made me call you Mr. Anderson when you knew — you knew the whole time—" "And you unbuttoned your blouse for a man you thought was a stranger." He pulled his finger out slowly‚ dragging it along my inner walls‚ then pushed back in‚ deeper than before. "Which one of us should be more embarrassed?" I had nothing to say to that. Because he was right. And because his finger was so deep inside me I couldn't form words anymore. He added a second finger. My body went rigid. The stretch was sudden and full and overwhelming‚ and the sound I made was something between a moan and a scream that I would never be able to unhear. "That's it‚" he said quietly. "Take both of them." "It's too much—" "It's not enough." He pushed both fingers all the way in and held them there‚ buried to the knuckle‚ and I could feel my own heartbeat pulsing around him. "And we both know it." He pulled his fingers back slowly‚ letting me feel every inch of them dragging against my walls‚ and then pushed them back in with a deliberate‚ controlled thrust that made my hips jerk forward to meet him. Out. In. Out. In. Each stroke deeper than the last‚ each one finding that spot inside me and pressing against it until my thighs were trembling and my head fell back against the steel wall. His eyes never left my face. That was the part that undid me. The way he watched me. Those dark blue eyes locked onto mine with an intensity that felt like being held down‚ like being stripped open far more completely than any unbuttoned blouse could manage. He watched every twitch of my expression‚ every flutter of my eyelids‚ every time my lips parted around a gasp I couldn't swallow. He studied me like he was memorizing what I looked like when I fell apart. And I was falling apart. "Look at me‚" he said‚ and I realized my eyes had drifted shut. I forced them open and met his gaze and the raw hunger staring back at me made my walls clench so tight around his fingers that he exhaled hard through his nose. "There she is." His thumb found my clit and pressed down in a slow‚ firm circle‚ and my entire body jolted like a current had passed through me. "Keep your eyes on me‚ Skye. I want to watch you feel every single thing I'm doing to you." His fingers pumped faster. The wet‚ slick sounds of him moving inside me filled the elevator‚ obscene and rhythmic and unmistakable‚ and each thrust was punctuated by the soft‚ helpless moans falling from my mouth that I had completely given up trying to suppress. Because I couldn't pretend anymore. I couldn't say stop when my hips were grinding down on his hand with every stroke. I couldn't say I don't want this when my fingers were tangled in his hair‚ pulling him closer. I couldn't say no when every nerve ending in my body was screaming yes so loudly it drowned out every thought in my head. His free hand grabbed my breast‚ rough and possessive‚ kneading the bare flesh‚ his thumb rolling hard over my stiff nipple‚ and his mouth dropped to the other one‚ his tongue dragging a hot‚ wet circle around the peak before sucking it between his lips. "Oh God—" My voice broke into a moan so loud it startled even me. My back arched completely off the wall‚ pushing my breast deeper into his mouth‚ and his fingers drove into me harder‚ faster‚ his palm grinding against my clit with every thrust. He released my nipple and lifted his head‚ and his eyes found mine again‚ dark‚ burning‚ completely fixed on me‚ and he didn't look away as his fingers curled deep inside me and his thumb pressed circles into my clit that made my vision swim. "Does your brother know‚" he murmured‚ his voice low and wrecked‚ his fingers still pumping into me in slow‚ devastating strokes‚ "that his worst enemy has his fingers buried inside his little sister's dripping wet pussy right now?" A broken whimper escaped me. "No‚" I gasped‚ grinding down on his hand‚ chasing the pressure of his palm against my clit. "He can never know — oh God — he can never find out—" He curled his fingers deeper and hit a spot inside me that made my words dissolve into a scream. "Good girl‚" he whispered. "This stays between us. Okay?" "Yes — yes — nngh—" His pace turned relentless. His fingers pumping in and out with a rhythm that made the wet‚ filthy sounds grow louder‚ echoing off the steel walls of the elevator until it was the only thing I could hear‚ that and my own shameless moans‚ rising higher with every thrust‚ and the low grunts he let slip against my neck that told me he wasn't nearly as unaffected as he wanted me to believe. His mouth found my breast again‚ sucking hard‚ teeth grazing‚ tongue swirling‚ and his hand squeezed the other one roughly‚ kneading and rolling my nipple between his fingers‚ and the combination of his mouth on one breast and his hand on the other and his fingers buried deep inside me was so overwhelming that my body began to shake. "Something's happening‚" I gasped‚ my fingers gripping his hair so hard he groaned against my skin. "I'm — oh God — I'm going to—" "I can feel it." His voice was rough and strained‚ his breath hot against my breast. "You're squeezing my fingers so fucking tight‚ Skye." "I can't hold it — please — I'm right there—" "Are you going to come on my fingers?" He lifted his head and his eyes locked onto mine one final time‚ dark and burning and utterly devastating. "Are you going to come all over my hand like a good girl?" "Yes — yes — please — I'm right there — don't stop — please don't stop—" He pulled out. Both fingers. Gone. The emptiness hit me like a physical blow. My hips bucked against nothing‚ my walls clenching around air‚ and the orgasm that had been right there‚ right at the peak‚ crumbled and dissolved into a throbbing‚ aching void that pulsed between my legs like a second heartbeat with nowhere to go. "No!" The word ripped out of me raw and desperate and I didn't even care how I sounded anymore. "Why did you — bring them back — please—" He stepped back. I almost collapsed. My legs were shaking so violently I had to press both palms flat against the wall just to stay upright. I stared at him‚ wrecked‚ panting‚ my bra shoved above my bare breasts‚ my skirt bunched at my hips‚ mascara smudged‚ my thighs slick and trembling while he looked unaffected. He raised his hand slowly. Both fingers glistened under the elevator light‚ coated in me‚ and he slid them into his mouth one at a time‚ his eyes locked on mine‚ his tongue dragging along each finger from base to tip. "Just as sweet as I knew you'd be." He straightened his tie with slow‚ precise movements‚ then adjusted his cuffs‚ smoothing everything back into place like nothing had just happened‚ like he hadn't just taken me apart with two fingers and left me shaking against his elevator wall. "Fix yourself‚" he said. My throat tightened. "You can't just—" "Now‚ Skye." I pulled my bra back into place with trembling hands‚ fumbled with the hooks‚ then started on my blouse‚ missing a button‚ going back‚ trying again‚ my fingers so unsteady I could barely grip the fabric. I tugged my skirt down over my hips. Everything felt wrong‚ crooked‚ twisted‚ like I was trying to put back together something that had been permanently rearranged. But I did it. I fixed myself while he stood there watching with a gaze so detached I might as well have been a painting hung slightly crooked on a wall. The elevator dinged. The doors slid open to the harsh fluorescent brightness of the parking garage. Not his office. Not the floor where I was supposed to start working. The parking garage. "Get out." "The job‚" I said‚ my voice completely wrecked. "You said — you said if I showed you—" He looked at me one last time. His eyes traced down my body and back up‚ cold and flat and utterly empty‚ as though the man who had just groaned against my neck and called me good girl had never existed. "I never said showing me your body meant getting your job back." "W—what?" "And Skye‚ that wasn't what I meant when I asked you that question. You assumed." His voice was flat‚ bored almost‚ like he was correcting a typo in an email. "You walked into my elevator‚ took off your own clothes‚ spread your legs on your own‚ begged me not to stop with your own mouth‚ and now you want to act like I owed you something in return?" He adjusted his cuff one final time without looking at me. "Nobody forced you‚ Skye. You gave it away for free." The elevator doors began to close. "Your services are no longer required. Get out."Chapter 166SKYE'S POVThe spot by the VIP entrance where he had been standing all night was empty. My stomach dropped so hard I thought I was going to throw up right there on the floor. I didn't stop. Couldn't stop. I shoved through the front doors‚ cold night air hitting me like a slap‚ tears streaming down my face that I hadn't even felt start.I spotted the black SUV in the far corner under a flickering light. Sprinted toward it‚ heels cracking against the asphalt‚ hands shaking so badly I could barely grip anything.I reached the back door. Yanked it open.The smell hit me first.Thick. Hot. Suffocating. This heavy wall of sweat and skin and arousal rolling out of the backseat like heat from an oven. My brain couldn't process it‚ couldn't make sense of it on top of everything else already short-circuiting inside me.Then I saw them.Evelyn. Completely bare. Every single inch of her naked and glistening under the dim interior light of the SUV. Her back was arched so hard against t
Chapter 165SKYE'S POV"What! I'm just saying‚ if his hands are that big‚ I already know what he's packing in those tactical pants. That man is carrying heavy‚ Skye. I can feel it in my bones.""You cannot feel anything in your bones‚ you are drunk and you are delusional!""I am drunk and I am observant. Those are not mutually exclusive. Did you see the way he gripped that steering wheel? Both hands wrapped all the way around with room to spare? That's not just hand size‚ that's grip strength‚ and grip strength like that means he knows how to hold onto things‚ if you know what I mean.""I don't want to know what you mean!""Yes you do. You absolutely do. Because I'm telling you right now‚ a man that tall‚ with hands that big‚ with a jaw that sharp? He's hung like a threat‚ Skye. I would bet my entire rent on it.""You are out of your mind.""I am in my mind. Deeply in my mind. Where Reed's massive cock lives rent free‚ apparently.""I'm going to pretend you didn't just say that."“Wel
Chapter 164Skye's POVThe week after the gala was a slow‚ grinding kind of torture.Every morning I walked into Anderson Holdings‚ sat at my desk ten feet from Thorne's office door‚ pretended that the man behind it hadn't pinned me against a glass railing forty-two stories above the city five days ago. Hadn't grabbed my face in a dark car and kissed me and told me to be good as if I was something that belonged to him. I answered his calls‚ organized his calendar‚ brought him his coffee and served him exclusively.Then there was Rebecca.The secretary that just didn’t like me for no reason. Or perhaps there was a reason which I have no business with by the way.."Skye‚ these investor files were supposed to be color-coded by region‚ not alphabetical‚" Rebecca said on Wednesday‚ dropping the entire stack back on my desk so hard my coffee cup rattled. "I'm sure you have a lot on your plate with... everything going on‚ but these still need to meet company standard."The pause before ever
Chapter 163Thorne's POVThe gala ran for another two hours after I went back down. Kael had already left by the time I got back to the ballroom.Smart man.The second the last investor walked out those doors I was already loosening my tie‚ pulling out my phone."Reed.""Alpha.""Bring the SUV around back. Pick up Evelyn from the lobby on your way. We're leaving in ten.""Yes‚ Alpha."I took the private elevator back up to the forty-second floor. The penthouse was quiet when I walked in‚ and then I saw her.Exactly where I had left her. Curled up on the couch with her knees pulled to her chest‚ bare feet tucked underneath her‚ phone loose in her hand as if she had been trying to stay awake but lost. Her head was resting on the arm of the couch‚ breathing slow‚ even. The gold dress was still twisted around her body‚ her hair still a mess from the wind. From me. She looked so small like that‚ so different from the woman who had been screaming at me on that terrace three hours ago.I cro
Chapter 162Thorne’s POV"I'm just trying to protect you but you keep making things hard for me.""Well maybe you should stop trying to protect me and just tell me whatever the fuck is going on so I'll stop been overly curious!”“You don’t have to bother yourself with any of that. Just be safe for me. That’s all I ask of you. Why is it so hard for you?”“It’s fucking hard‚ Thorne. You’re trying to cage me. To own me!”“I’m not‚ for goodness’ sake!”“Yes‚ you are. You aren’t telling me anything. You’ve just been quiet about everything‚ but I want to fight with you. I don’t want to sit still while you do everything. You’re trying to control who I see and where I go just because we have a bond‚ just because you’re scared something might happen to me. Being scared doesn’t give you the right to cage me‚ Thorne!”She shoved at my chest with both hands‚ hard enough that I actually took a step back‚ and the cold air rushed between us‚ filling the space where our bodies had just been pressed t
Chapter 161Thorne’s POVHer back hit the glass and the city yawned open beneath us‚ forty-two stories of glittering nothing‚ and through the lower windows the warm glow of the ballroom pulsed with the distant silhouettes of people dancing who had no idea their CEO was on the rooftop losing his mind.Skye's hands went to my belt. Fast‚ angry‚ her fingers yanking the leather through the buckle with the kind of urgency that came from rage‚ not romance‚ and the metal scraped against my hip as she worked it open and shoved my pants down just enough."This doesn't fix anything‚" she said‚ but her hands were pulling me closer even as the words came out."I know that too."My hands found the hem of her gold dress and shoved it up‚ gathering handfuls of silk and pushing it up her thighs until it was bunched around her waist and her legs were bare against the glass railing and the night air. I hooked my fingers into the lace at her hips and pulled and the fabric gave way with a sound that made
CHAPTER 62 Skye's POV "So I'm a werewolf?" I asked. My voice sounded far away‚ as if it belonged to someone else. Kael nodded slowly. "Yes." "A werewolf." "Yes‚ Skye." I pressed my palms flat against the table because my hands wouldn't stop shaking and I needed something solid to hold
CHAPTER 61 Skye's POV “Oh my God‚” I let out a soft‚ disbelieving laugh. “Seriously‚ Mr. Kael?” He didn’t respond right away. He just looked at me—really looked at me—like he was confirming something he had known all along. A slow‚ satisfied smirk tugged at his lips. “Hmm…” he murmured.
CHAPTER 60 Skye's POV I woke up sore. My back stung where the brick had scraped my skin raw. My thighs ached from how hard I had wrapped them around his waist. And between my legs there was a deep‚ pulsing tenderness that reminded me with every movement exactly what had happened against tha
CHAPTER 59 Skye's POV “Oh my God— it's—it's Ethan—” “Shhh!” Thorne's hand clamped over my mouth before I could make another sound. His body went rigid against mine‚ every muscle locking up at once‚ and he pressed me deeper into the shadow of the wall where the porch light didn't reach. I c
