Chapter 7

Skye's POV

I didn't sleep that night. Not even for a minute.

I lay in bed staring at the ceiling with the contract sitting on my nightstand like a ticking bomb. Every time I closed my eyes‚ I saw the number. Thirty thousand dollars. Every time I tried to think about something else‚ my brain dragged me right back to that office‚ to his voice‚ to the way he looked at me when he said he wanted every single inch of me.

By five in the morning‚ I gave up pretending I was going to

    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 160Thorne’s POV"He said what he always says‚ he said things designed to get under your skin and guess what‚ it worked‚ congratulations‚ you played right into exactly what he wanted."The elevator opened onto my private penthouse at the company‚ the one I usually stay at when I was too overwhelmed with work and didn't want to sleep at the office‚ and I walked out still holding her wrist‚ past the executive offices‚ past the conference rooms‚ straight to the terrace doors at the end of the hallway‚ and I pushed them open and pulled her outside into the night air.The terrace was private. High glass walls on every side‚ no access from below‚ the city spread out forty-two stories beneath us‚ and the moment those doors closed behind us everything that had been contained in that elevator came pouring out."You let him touch you‚" I said‚ turning to face her‚ and my voice was low and shaking with something that lived between rage and fear because seeing Kael's hand on her arm had c

    Chapter 159Thorne's POVMy eyes were already shifting by the time I registered what I was looking at.Kael‚ standing too close‚ his body angled in that way I had memorized since we were teenagers‚ that calculated lean he used when he wanted a woman to feel like the only person in the room while simultaneously making sure she had nowhere to go‚ and my hand tightened around my glass so hard I heard the crystal creak under my fingers as my eyes tracked across the ballroom to find exactly who he was leaning over.Gold dress.My gold dress.On my woman.And his hand was on her arm.His hand was on her arm and she was pressed against a marble pillar with her back flat against the stone and her chin raised in defiance but her body language screaming that she was cornered‚ that she wanted out‚ that she was trying to create distance and he wasn't letting her.My eyes shifted‚ and I knew without looking in a mirror that my irises had gone full crimson because the woman standing next to me‚ som

    Chapter 158Skye's POVI felt it happen‚ the slow wave of attention that moved through the room as people noticed me‚ their conversations pausing mid-sentence as their eyes tracked the gold dress and the woman inside it‚ and I kept my chin up and my shoulders back even though my heart was hammering so hard I was sure everyone could hear it.Evelyn squeezed my arm. "You look incredible‚ stop panicking.""I'm not panicking.""Your hand is shaking.""That's adrenaline‚ it's different.""It's really not."I scanned the room for Thorne but couldn't find him in the crowd‚ which was both a relief and a disappointment that I didn't want to examine too closely. Evelyn spotted someone she knew from the marketing team and squeezed my arm one more time before drifting off‚ leaving me alone in a sea of expensive perfume and quiet power.I was reaching for a glass of champagne from a passing tray when I felt it.Someone behind me. Close. Too close. The kind of closeness that wasn't accidental‚ that

    Chapter 157Skye'sPOV"He's unbelievable‚" I said‚ staring at the card while my heart did something complicated in my chest that was half anger and half longing. "He doesn't ask‚ he doesn't invite‚ he just sends a dress and a command and expects me to show up.""Skye‚ shut up for one second and let me open mine‚" Evelyn said‚ already tearing into her box with the kind of urgency usually reserved for Christmas morning‚ and when she lifted the lid and pushed aside the tissue paper she made a sound that I had never heard come out of a human being before‚ somewhere between a gasp and a scream and a prayer.It was a deep emerald green dress‚ stunning and elegant with a neckline that would sit perfectly against her collarbones‚ and even from where I was sitting I could tell it was expensive in the way that things are expensive when money isn't a consideration."Skye‚" Evelyn whispered‚ lifting the dress out of the box with both hands as if she was afraid it might dissolve. "Skye‚ feel this
