LET THE GAME BEGIN~GIDEON’S POV~I stared at my phone, a slow smile spreading across my lips. Tonight would be special. A night she’d never forget. I set the phone down on the table in front of me, shifting my attention to the man sitting opposite me. Joshua, standing silently behind me, handed me the file I’d requested. I opened it without a word, flipping through each folder, and scanning page after page. My fingers brushed absently across my lips in thought. Finally, I lifted my gaze to Noah. He was practically shaking. I knew he’d screw up eventually. I just hadn’t expected him to fold this fast. “Do you have anything you’d like to tell me, Noah?” My voice was calm. Collected. Deceptively patient. Noah let out a nervous laugh, his hand trembling slightly as he picked up his glass of iced tea and took a long drink. I watched him closely, unmoved. Weak men always showed their fear in small ways first. I let my gaze drift, surveying the restaurant around us. A pai

PERFECT FAIRY TALE ~HARPER’S POV~Edward’s messages glowed on my screen, demanding attention.“We need to talk. Now.” “It’s about Gideon.”My fingers hovered over the screen, my pulse hammering in my ears. Gideon studied me, his expression unreadable, though I didn’t miss the way his jaw tensed slightly.“Edward?” he guessed.I let out a slow breath, locking my phone. “Yeah.”Silence stretched between us. “Are you going to him?” Gideon asked, his voice calm, almost too calm.I should. I should demand to know what Edward meant, what he knew about the man sitting across from me. I should care.But right now, staring at Gideon, the way he held his glass with an effortless kind of authority, the way his eyes lingered on me as if he already knew my answer…No.I wasn’t running to Edward. Not tonight. I tilted my head, my lips curving in a slow, deliberate smirk. “Wouldn’t that be rude? Walking out on my host?”Something flashed in Gideon’s eyes—approval? Amusement? Maybe both. He leaned fo

TASTING THE WATERS~HARPER’S POV~I gripped the steering wheel tightly, my jaw clenched as the argument with Alice replayed in my head. She always knew how to get under my skin. But what annoyed me most was the way she acted—like she regretted everything. I sighed. It was too early to let Alice’s mess ruin my day. The sudden ring of my phone pulled me from my thoughts. Glancing at the screen, a slow smile curled on my lips. Gideon. The memory of last night’s sex flickered in my mind—the way he took control, the way he owned me. I answered the call, teasing, “Can’t get enough of me?” A deep chuckle came from the other end. “Well, I wouldn’t mind coming over right now… just say the word.” A flutter ran through my stomach. God, this man knows exactly what he’s doing.“As tempting as that sounds, I have to work,” I said, clearing my throat, hoping he wouldn’t hear the effect his words had on me. “That’s too bad,” he mused, and I could hear the disappointment in his voice

(ENEMY WITHIN)~EDWARD’S POV~ “You’re still alive.” Noah’s voice cuts through my thoughts just as I lift another shot to my lips. I needed this drink. Ever since I woke up in that hospital and got discharged, life had been... too much. My mother and sister wouldn’t stop with their demands—loans, money, endless complaints. God, they were parasites, feeding off what little I had left. Dragging me back when all I wanted was to move forward. “You must have some kind of god watching over you,” Noah muses, swirling the amber liquid in his glass. “Given how tough you’ve had it this year.” His chuckle grates on my nerves. “You enjoying this, aren’t you?” I snap, my grip tightening around my glass. “Watching me suffer. After all, you’re living the dream.” Noah snorts. “Dream life?” He finally looks at me, amusement flickering in his eyes. “Yeah, right.” That’s the thing about Noah—he’s the kind of guy who always lands on his feet. Good family, great education, sharp mind. Ha

A Night of Passion~HARPER’S POV~I stood there, my heart racing as Gideon's smirk turned into a look of pure, unadulterated desire. His hands felt like a brand on my waist, sending shivers down my spine. I knew at that moment that this night would be unforgettable."You have no idea how long I've wanted to do this," he whispered, his warm breath caressing my ear. His fingers tightened around my waist, and he pulled me closer, our bodies almost touching. I could feel the heat radiating from him, and my senses were overwhelmed by his masculine scent, a mix of musk and something uniquely Gideon."I want to show you something," he murmured, his lips brushing against my cheek as he spoke. "But first, let me take your coat."I nodded, my voice momentarily lost as I struggled to find the words. I let my jacket slide off my shoulders, revealing a simple black dress that hugged my curves. Gideon's eyes darkened at the sight, and he gently took the coat from my hands, hanging it on a nearb

(INTOXICATED SMELL)~HARPER’S POV~I stepped outside, my eyes scanning the parking lot, but Gideon and his friends were nowhere in sight. “Fuck, I miss him,” I muttered, running a hand through my hair. Pulling out my phone, I unlocked the screen and scrolled through my contacts until I found his name. My thumb hovered over the call button as I hesitated. *Should I?* “Well, I already came out here, so what the hell,” I mumbled to myself and pressed the dial. Straight to voicemail. I frowned, staring at the screen. That was strange. “Looking for me?” At the sound of his voice, I turned quickly. Relief flooded through me the moment I saw him standing there. A wide smile spread across my lips as I wasted no time pulling him into a hug. “I thought you left,” I murmured, tightening my grip around him. His scent filled my senses—masculine and intoxicating. “Leave? Without you? Never.” His arms wrapped around me securely. “I had to see my friend off. He was drunk.” I did
