Madison

"So," I said, setting down my fork, "without any police involvement, you managed to track down the bartender who drugged you? That's impressive."

Alexander's expression darkened slightly. "Leo has certain skills that make finding people relatively simple. Especially people who don't know they need to hide." He took another sip of his wine. "But we aren't sure if this woman is actually behind everything or if it's all an elaborate script to divert attention."

I frowned. "You think the bartender is lying?"

"I think someone clever enough to orchestrate this would also know how to create a convincing fall guy." His eyes locked onto mine, intense and calculating. "The bartender's story was almost too perfect: a mysterious woman, a single initial, cash payment, and no traceable connection."

"So you're back at square one," I said.

"Not entirely. We know someone targeted me specifically. We know they had resources and planning. What we don't know is who and why." Alexander leaned back

    MadisonI watched the city lights blur past the window, assuming we were headed back to Alexander's penthouse as usual. It wasn't until he took an unexpected turn that I realized we were going somewhere else entirely. "Where are we going?" I asked, turning to face him. Alexander kept his eyes on the road, a small smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "Somewhere private." The city gradually gave way to more residential areas and stretches of land with larger properties set far back from the road. The streetlights became fewer and farther between until we drove down a winding road lined with tall trees. Their branches created a canopy overhead, casting dancing shadows across the windshield. "Are you kidnapping me, Mr. Knight?" I joked, trying to mask my curiosity with humor. "If I were kidnapping you, Ms. Harper, I wouldn't have fed you an expensive dinner first." "Of course not. That would be wasteful," I replied dryly. The car slowed as we approached a set of imposing iron

    Madison"Careful with that smart mouth," he warned, though I could hear the amusement in his voice. "Now, lie down on the couch." I straightened up and turned to face him. His tie was loosened, and the top button of his shirt undone. His eyes were dark with desire as they roamed over me. "Lie down," he repeated, his voice commanding in a way that weakened my knees. I sat on the couch and reclined, my heart pounding against my ribs. The leather was cool against my back, starkly contrasting the heat building inside me. "Spread your legs," he instructed, taking a seat in an armchair opposite the couch. "And touch yourself." I stared at him, my cheeks burning. "What?" "You heard me." He leaned back, getting comfortable. "I want to watch you touch that pussy that belongs to me." My face flushed hot with embarrassment. "Mr. Knight, I—" "Are you refusing?" One eyebrow arched in a challenge. "Because I can think of far more demanding punishments for disobeying me twice in one day." I

    MadisonWe entered a massive bedroom dominated by a king-sized bed with dark blue sheets. The room was minimalist but luxurious, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a view of the private lake. "On the bed," Alexander commanded. "On your back, legs spread." I climbed onto the bed, positioning myself as instructed. Alexander opened a drawer in the bedside table and pulled out what looked like a small, egg-shaped device. "Do you know what this is?" he asked, holding it up. "A vibrator," I replied, my mouth suddenly dry. "Smart girl." He pressed a button, and the device hummed to life. "Let's see how long you can last before begging me to let you come." He knelt between my spread legs, running his hands up my thighs. Without a preamble, he lowered his head and licked a long stripe up my center. "Fuck!" I cried out, my hips bucking against his face. "Mmm, you taste even better than I remembered," he murmured against me, his breath hot on my sensitive flesh. He dove back in, his

    MadisonAlexander's hand lazily stroked my back, tracing patterns on my sweaty skin. "Not bad for punishment," I murmured against his chest, a small smile on my lips. "Who said the punishment is over?" I lifted my head to look at him, raising an eyebrow. "You mean there's more?" "There's always more, Ms. Harper." His hand came down on my ass with a light smack that made me jump. "That was just the warm-up. Something about you makes me want to fuck you until neither of us can walk straight." I laughed, sitting up on his chest. My hair was a mess, falling around my face in tangled waves. "Is that a challenge or a promise?" Alexander's eyes darkened as they roamed over my body. "Both." He sat up suddenly, keeping me in his lap as he kissed me hard. His tongue invaded my mouth, claiming me all over again. When he pulled back, we were both breathless. "I need to get rid of this," he said, gesturing to the condom. I climbed off him, wincing slightly at the soreness between

    MadisonI trudged down the sidewalk, eyeing the heavy clouds overhead, which hung like a bad mood over the city. The weatherman had promised rain by evening, but so far, the sky had been just threatening without delivering—kind of like my social life lately. I pulled out my phone and dialed Hazel, shifting my purse to my other shoulder as I waited for her to pick up. "Madison Harper, as I live and breathe," Hazel's voice came through after the fourth ring. "To what do I owe this unexpected pleasure on a Tuesday evening?" "Very funny. Are you coming or what? I'm almost at Caffeine Dreams." I sidestepped a guy walking his tiny dog, which yapped at me like I'd personally offended its ancestors. "Coming where? Did I miss something?" I stopped walking. "Please tell me you're joking. Jackson? Coffee? The plans we made last week?" "Oh shit," Hazel muttered. "That's tonight? I totally forgot." "How could you forget? You're the one who insisted we should hear him out!" "In my defense,

    MadisonJackson spotted us and smiled, that same crooked smile that used to appear when he'd finally solved a difficult math problem. He weaved between tables toward us."Madison! Hazel!" He spread his arms wide. "You both look amazing!"Hazel, who had been ready to verbally destroy him moments ago, stood up and accepted his hug like they were long-lost relatives. "Jackson! What a surprise! We were just saying how it's been forever!"I caught her eye over his shoulder and mouthed, "Traitor." She responded with a subtle shrug that clearly meant, "But he's hot now."Jackson turned to hug me next, and I caught a whiff of expensive cologne. "Mads, so good to see you in person. Thanks for meeting me.""Sure thing," I replied, patting his back awkwardly before pulling away. "It's been a while.""Three years, two months, and approximately sixteen days," Hazel said sweetly, then added, "Not that I was counting."We all sat down, and an uncomfortable silence fell over the table until Jackson c

    MadisonWe spent the next hour catching up. Jackson told us about London—the tiny apartment he'd shared with four other guys, the constant rain, and the surprising quality of British fast food. He'd worked for a small financial firm that had been acquired by a larger company, which led to his transfer back to New York. "What about you, Madison?" Jackson asked. "What's it like working for Alexander Knight? He's practically a celebrity." I shifted in my seat, suddenly uncomfortable. "It's just a job. Busy, demanding. You know how it is." "She's being modest," Hazel interjected. "I already told you that she just got promoted to project manager for some fancy new building development. While still being his assistant." "Seriously?" Jackson looked impressed. "That's a lot of responsibility. I thought promotions usually meant moving up, not piling on more work. Juggling both jobs is going to be tough, isn't it?" "It's fine," I said, waving my hand dismissively. "I like staying busy." "

    Madison"You can wipe that look off your face," I told her. "Jackson could look like Chris Hemsworth's better-looking brother, but I still wouldn't be interested.""So you admit he's hot," Hazel said, pointing an accusing finger at me."I have eyes, don't I? But acknowledging someone's attractiveness doesn't mean I want to date them." I gathered my purse and stood up. "Besides, we have history as friends. It would be weird.""Friends make the best lovers," Hazel singsonged as she collected her things. "They already know all your weird habits and like you anyway.""You've been reading too many romance novels," I said, leading toward the door."I've been reading exactly the right amount, thank you very much." She pushed the door open, and we stepped out onto the sidewalk.The night air hit my face with a refreshing coolness after the warmth of the coffee shop."Well, this was surprisingly not terrible," Hazel said, wrapping her scarf tighter around her neck.

    AlexanderI left the conference room, my mind racing with contingency plans. The team would handle the immediate crisis response, but I needed a moment to strategize beyond the next few hours. This attack was too coordinated, too precise. Someone knew exactly where to hit us. As I entered my office, my phone vibrated. The screen displayed a name I wasn't surprised to see: Edward Knight. Perfect timing, as always. I accepted the call and put it on speaker as I loosened my tie completely. "Alexander." His voice carried that familiar mix of authority and concern. "I just got off the phone with Harold from the board. What the hell is happening?" "Hello to you too, Dad," I said, dropping into my chair. "I'm handling it." "Handling it? The company's losing billions in market cap over fraud allegations!" I pinched the bridge of my nose. "I'm aware of the situation." "Are these allegations true?" he demanded, cutting straight to his primary concern. "Of course not," I snapped. "You kn

    AlexanderI strode through the executive floor, Madison following close behind. The cacophony of ringing phones and urgent voices created a backdrop of chaos. My empire was under attack, and every second counted. The conference room door was already open, revealing a gathering of grim faces around the polished table. Our CFO was gesturing frantically at a laptop screen while our head of Legal paced by the windows, phone pressed to his ear. The PR director was furiously typing on her tablet, and two members of our crisis management team huddled over documents, speaking in hushed tones. "Everyone," I announced, not bothering with pleasantries. All heads snapped up, conversations halting mid-sentence. I took my place at the head of the table while Madison slipped into a chair beside me, tablet ready. "Give me the damage report," I demanded, loosening my tie slightly. Our CFO cleared his throat, his usual composed demeanor cracking under pressure. "Futures are indicating we'll open

    MadisonI blinked, trying to process his words through my post-orgasmic haze. "What? Financial fraud?" "We don't have time for explanations," Alexander said, tossing his shirt over his head. His muscles flexed as he buttoned it with practiced efficiency. "Get dressed. Now." The urgency in his voice snapped me into action. I scrambled off the bed and headed to the closet, where some of my clothes hung alongside his designer suits. I quickly selected a charcoal pencil skirt and cream blouse, which were professional enough for whatever crisis awaited us. "Faster," he barked, already fully dressed and checking his phone again. His jaw clenched tighter with each swipe of his thumb. I hurried into the bathroom to fix my appearance, wincing at my reflection. My hair was a tangled mess, my lips swollen, and faint red marks dotted my neck where Alexander had gotten carried away. I quickly applied concealer to the most visible marks and pulled my hair into a tight bun. When I emerge

    MadisonAlexander reached into his discarded pants and pulled out a condom. He tore the wrapper with his teeth, his eyes never leaving mine as he rolled it over his impressive length. "Fuck, I can't wait to be inside you," he growled, positioning himself between my spread legs. He rubbed the head of his cock against my entrance, coating himself in my wetness. "You're dripping for me." "Please," I begged, beyond caring how desperate I sounded. "I need you inside me." "What do you need inside you?" he teased, continuing to slide his length along my folds without entering me. "Be specific, Madison." I swallowed hard, forcing myself to say the words he wanted to hear. "I need your cock inside me, Mr. Knight. Please fuck me." His eyes darkened at my words. "Good girl." Without further warning, he slammed into me, burying himself to the hilt in one powerful thrust. The sudden fullness made me cry out, my back arching off the marble counter. "Fuck," he hissed, gripping my hips hard en

    MadisonHe withdrew his fingers suddenly, leaving me empty and aching. "Turn around." I did as he ordered, my ass stinging pleasantly where he'd spanked me. He looked me over, his eyes lingering on the diamond necklace at my throat, then lower to my breasts and between my legs. "On your knees," he commanded. I sank down, the plush carpet cushioning my knees. He stood over me, still in his boxer briefs, the outline of his cock straining against the fabric. "Take it out," he said. I hooked my fingers in the waistband of his underwear and pulled them down. His cock sprang free, thick and hard, already leaking at the tip. My mouth watered at the sight. "Open," he said, his hand tangling in my hair. I parted my lips, and he guided himself into my mouth. The taste of him was intoxicating. I took him as deep as I could, relaxing my throat to accommodate his size. "Fuck," he groaned, his grip tightening in my hair. "Your mouth feels amazing." I hollowed my cheeks, sucking harder, usi

    MadisonAs we stepped into the penthouse, the silence wrapped around us like a blanket. The lights of Manhattan twinkled beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a backdrop that belonged in a movie, not my real life. Alexander locked the door behind us with a definitive click that sent a shiver down my spine. I stood in the vast living room, still clutching the boutique bag with the diamond necklace. Its weight seemed to grow heavier as Alexander's eyes remained fixed on me. "Take it out," he commanded, shrugging off his jacket and tossing it onto the nearest chair. I carefully removed the velvet box from the bag, holding it in my palm as if it might bite me. The diamonds inside were worth more than my entire year's salary, likely several years' worth. "Put it on," Alexander said, loosening his tie completely and pulling it free from his collar with a soft hiss of fabric. I opened the box, staring at the necklace. "Right now?" "Yes, right now. I want to see it on you." I

    MadisonAs she sashayed away, I couldn't help myself. "'I'll be in touch,'" I mimicked under my breath, pitching my voice higher. "'We should catch up properly. I'll text you.'" I rolled my eyes. Alexander raised an eyebrow. "Jealousy looks good on you, Ms. Harper." "I'm not jealous," I replied automatically, heat rising to my cheeks. He chuckled, then held out the small boutique bag to me. "For you." I took it hesitantly, feeling the weight of the box inside. "The necklace?" "What were you two discussing?" he asked instead of answering, his eyes scanning my face. I sighed, clutching the bag tighter. "Your friend or ex-girlfriend or whatever she is took my number. She wants me to update her on your whereabouts so she can 'accidentally' run into you. Like I'm supposed to be her personal Alexander-tracking device." "Caroline does this with all my personal assistants. She's harmless." "Harmless?" I repeated incredulously. "She practically threatened me." "She's dramatic," he sai

    MadisonI felt a small, petty surge of satisfaction watching her forced to engage in small talk when she clearly wanted to be elsewhere, specifically with Alexander. Alexander seemed oblivious to her predicament, his attention still focused on the diamond necklace and, more disturbingly, on my neck. I resisted the urge to cover my throat with my hand. "Shall we look at the other items?" I suggested, desperate to move away before she managed to extricate herself from the silver-haired man. "No need," Alexander replied, his eyes still on the necklace. "I've found what interests me." I glanced back at the mystery woman, who was now nodding politely at whatever the older gentleman was saying while her eyes repeatedly darted in our direction. The tension in her shoulders was visible even from across the room. "Ladies and gentlemen," the announcer's voice boomed through the speakers, startling me. "The silent auction is now closed. Please make your way to the payment area if you've bee

    Madison"Something on your mind, Ms. Harper?" Alexander's voice cut through my thoughts. I looked up to find him studying me, his expression unreadable. "No, Mr. Knight." "Liar," he said softly. "You've been fidgeting for the past ten minutes." "I wasn't aware my comfort level was of interest to you in public settings," I replied, surprising myself with my boldness. A flicker of amusement crossed his face. "Everything about you interests me, Ms. Harper. Even your discomfort." "How kind," I muttered. Alexander's eyes narrowed slightly, his lips curving into that infuriating half-smile that meant he was enjoying my discomfort. "You want to know who she is." It wasn't a question. I lifted my chin, meeting his gaze directly. "No, I don't." "Really?" He raised an eyebrow, clearly not believing me. "I was about to tell you, but if you're not interested..." He shrugged one shoulder, the movement elegant beneath his perfectly tailored tuxedo. "Then I don't need to explain." I bit th
