LOGINThe torrential downpour outside had finally slowed to a heavy, rhythmic drone, but the suffocating atmosphere inside the penthouse lounge remained completely unchanged. Dominic stayed heavy on top of her, his forehead resting against the cushions right next to her head while his lungs burned for air. He was still buried completely inside her center, his thick, rigid length keeping her wet walls stretched to the absolute limit even as the pulsing heat of their release slowly began to settle. The dark room was dead quiet now, save for the frantic hum of the skyscraper’s ventilation and the wet, messy sound of their skin sliding against each other every time his massive chest expanded.Vivian lay perfectly still beneath him, her hands still weakly tangled in his dark hair. The taboo, explicit words she had screamed in the heat of the moment echoed in her ears, sending a sharp, burning wave of shame straight through her chest. She had called him *that*. She had begged the man who stripped
The silence that followed the second storm in the lounge was heavy, broken only by the ragged, synchronized hitches of their breathing. Dominic didn’t move. He remained buried deep inside her, his deadweight pinning her frame flat into the cushions. His sweating chest rose and fell against her bare, bruised breasts, his heart hammering a violent, primitive rhythm right against her ribs. Every heavy breath he took caused his damp, sweating skin to slide against hers with a slick, sticky friction that kept her vividly aware of her complete subjugation.Vivian lay beneath him, her eyes wide and staring blankly at the dark ceiling. The fog of the climax was draining away, leaving her skin tingling with a raw, throbbing heat. Her inner thighs were completely slick, trembling from the sheer force of his possession. The cold, unyielding reality of what she had just done settled into her chest like lead. She hadn't just surrendered her family’s assets tonight; she had given this monster her b
The dark lounge remained trapped in the oppressive wake of the storm, the ambient temperature of the penthouse dropping as the ethanol fireplace finally burned down to low, glowing embers. Yet the heat radiating between their tangled bodies was still suffocating. Dominic remained buried completely inside her, his deadweight pinning her frame flat into the cushions. He didn't show any intention of pulling out; his thick, rigid length held her wet walls stretched to the absolute limit, anchoring her to the sofa as his heavy chest rose and fell against her bare, bruised breasts. Every ragged breath he took caused his damp, sweating skin to slide against hers with a slick, sticky friction that kept her vividly aware of her complete subjugation.Vivian lay perfectly still beneath him, her eyes wide and staring blankly into the shadows stretching across the ceiling. The intoxicating, vulgar fog of the climax was slowly draining away, leaving behind a raw, throbbing heat that radiated from h
The thick, stifling heat of their release began to cool, but the heavy weight of Dominic’s body remained entirely unyielding as he lay flat against her. He stayed locked deep inside her, his rigid length keeping her wet, sensitive walls stretched to the absolute limit while his chest heaved against her bare breasts. The storm outside continued its relentless assault on the glass, casting a gray, watery light over the dark lounge that illuminated the absolute mess they had made of the velvet sofa. Every time Dominic drew a ragged breath, the slick friction of his skin against hers served as a brutal reminder of how completely he had dominated her space.Vivian lay perfectly still, her small hands resting weakly against his damp shoulders. The echo of her own voice crying out those vulgar, explicit words still vibrated in her ears, sending a sharp, sickening wave of shame straight through her chest. She had begged him. She had called the man who single-handedly dismantled her family’s l
The atmosphere inside the dark penthouse lounge was thick with an unbearable, suffocating tension that had been building since the moment the liquidation papers were dropped on the obsidian desk. Outside, the Manhattan skyline was completely swallowed by a violent summer storm, heavy sheets of rain slamming against the reinforced floor-to-ceiling glass windows with a rhythmic, deafening roar. But inside, the only sound that mattered was the ragged, predatory breathing of Dominic Vance as he stared down at the woman he had spent the last six months systematically ruining.Vivian lay pinned beneath him on the heavy sofa, her small hands completely trapped under his massive palms. Dominic didn’t give her a single second to mentally prepare or offer up another word of her signature Montgomery defiance. With a sudden, unhinged burst of possessiveness, he locked her wrists to the plush cushions directly above her head, using his sheer physical size to anchor her entire upper body flat again
Dominic didn’t wait for her to change her mind. The moment her words left her lips, he lifted her bodily off her feet, his hands digging into the plush curve of her thighs as he slammed her back down onto the edge of the obsidian desk.The impact sent a stack of liquidation ledgers scattering across the floor, the papers fluttering wildly into the darkness like the ashes of her old life. Vivian let out a sharp, breathless cry as the cold stone bit into her bare skin, her skirt pushed up past her waist.He didn't give her time to adjust to the chill. Dominic crowded into the space between her knees, his massive chest pinning her down. His large hand returned to her neck, his fingers wrapping around her throat with a bruising intensity that forced her head back against the desk. He leaned over her, his breathing heavy and ragged, his eyes completely bloodshot with an unhinged, territorial hunger."You're mine now, Vivian," he growled, his voice a low, gravelly vibration that rattled str
The silence inside Dominic Vance’s private elevator wasn’t peaceful; it was suffocating.Vivian Montgomery kept her spine perfectly straight, her fingers gripping the strap of her handbag so tightly her knuckles turned white. She could feel the heavy, predatory weight of the man standing just a ste
The heavy double doors of the master suite clicked shut, leaving Vivian stranded in the center of the pitch-black bedroom. Her skin was still burning, completely raw from where Dominic’s hands had just been, but a violent, freezing chill was already setting deep into her bones.*Arthur Montgomery d
The ride back to the penthouse was pure, freezing torment. Vivian sat pressed so tightly against the passenger door of the Maybach that her shoulder ached, her fingers buried inside her trench coat pocket. The secret note felt like a branding iron against her palm, its sharp corners cutting into he
The silk of the dark gown felt less like fashion and more like an open admission of defeat. It was sliced dangerously low, dropping all the way down the curve of her spine, leaving her completely exposed to the chilled air of Dominic’s master suite.Vivian stood in front of the full-length gilded m
