Madison

I was deep in the throes of research, surrounded by open tabs of Manhattan real estate developments, when my phone buzzed. Alexander's name flashed on the screen. I hesitated for a split second before answering.

"Hello, Mr. Knight."

"Madison." His voice was like warm honey over gravel. "What are you doing right now?"

I glanced at my laptop screen, where I'd been compiling data on projects similar to our Manhattan development. "I'm working, actually. I'm just putting together some research for the project."

"Such a dedicated employee," he said, amusement coloring his tone. "Or should I say girlfriend? Working this late without being asked."

I checked the time in the corner of my screen—10:14 PM. "I'm just trying to be thorough."

"How about we go out?"

I blinked, caught off guard. "Now? It's after ten."

"Is your research so urgent it can't wait until tomorrow?" His voice dropped lower. "I'm bored, and I'd much rather be looking at you than these contracts."

"I..." I loo

We don’t know much so far about her. She was apparently his first or big love. And then she left him. So yes, she will definitely come back (according to the blurb). And yes, this for sure will affect Madison, though I am pretty sure Madison and Alexander are meant to be shipped.

Do you think that this story & the other one we read will be similar such as when Katherine comes back will Alex leave Madison to be w/ Katherine?

    MadisonTwenty minutes later, we pulled into a marina. Boats of various sizes bobbed gently in the water, their lights reflecting off the dark surface."A boat?" I asked, following him down the dock."Not just any boat." Alexander gestured ahead to a sleek yacht that looked like something out of a luxury magazine. It wasn't as massive as the one from the fundraiser event, but it was still impressive – gleaming white with elegant lines and soft lights illuminating the deck."Whose is it?" I asked, accepting his hand as I stepped aboard."Mine." He said it casually, as if owning a yacht was as common as owning a bicycle."Of course it is," I muttered. "You probably have a submarine, too, just for weekend excursions."Alexander's laugh was rich and genuine as he guided me onto the yacht. "Not yet, but that's not a bad idea. I'll have to look into that."The deck was polished teak, gleaming under the soft lighting. Everything about the vessel screamed money—from the plush seating area to

    MadisonThe red dress felt even more revealing without the coat's protection, the fabric clinging to every curve of my body. Alexander stepped back, his eyes darkening as he drank me in. His gaze was almost physical, like fingers tracing every inch of exposed skin. The intensity in his eyes made my nipples harden against the thin fabric of my bra. "Fuck," he breathed, circling me slowly. "That dress is criminal on you, Madison. But it would look even better crumpled on the floor." I glanced nervously at the water surrounding us. "Someone could see us. There are other boats out here." "No one can see shit," he said, his voice rough with desire. "We're far enough out, and the lighting up here only illuminates you for me. I made sure of it." I watched as he finished his champagne in one long swallow, his throat working in a way that made my mouth dry. Not wanting to be outdone, I tipped back my glass, the expensive bubbles sliding down my throat. Alexander took my empty glass, sett

    Madison"Fuck!" I gasped when he finally let me breathe, my lips tingling from the assault. "You're not going anywhere," he growled against my mouth. "Not until I'm done with you." My heart hammered against my ribs as his hands roamed over my body, no longer teasing but possessive. He cupped my breasts through the thin fabric of my dress, thumbs circling my hardened nipples until I whimpered. "You think you can walk away from me?" he asked, his voice dark with desire. "When your pussy is so wet, I can practically smell it?" I should have been offended by his crudeness, but instead, it sent a fresh flood of arousal between my legs. God, what was wrong with me? "Mr. Knight," I started, but he cut me off with another bruising kiss. "Shut up, Madison," he commanded against my lips. "The only sounds I want to hear from you are moans." His hands slid down to grab my ass, fingers digging into the flesh as he pulled me against him. The hard ridge of his cock pressed into my stomach, im

    Madison"Maybe? I don't know." I shrugged, suddenly feeling exposed, standing nearly naked while he remained fully dressed. "You had drinks with Leo earlier, right?" His face remained impassive for a moment before breaking into a grin. "Actually, yes. Someone did slip something in my drink." My stomach dropped. "Shit, are you serious? We need to—" "I'm kidding," he cut me off, laughing at my expression. "Jesus, you're easy to mess with. I'm not high, Madison. I'm fully awake and completely in control." He stepped closer, running his hand down my bare back. "Why so concerned? Afraid something might happen to your boyfriend?" I jerked away from his touch. "You're not my boyfriend, Mr. Knight." "Yes, I am." His voice was firm, brooking no argument as his hands returned to my body, this time gripping my ass possessively. "For all intents and purposes, I am your boyfriend." "A business arrangement," I corrected, even as my body betrayed me by pressing against his touch. His mouth fo

    MadisonI lifted my gaze from the computer screen as the elevator dinged. A woman in a red dress strutted toward me, her heels clicking against the marble floor like a timer counting down to chaos. "I'm here to see Alexander." She planted her manicured hands on my desk, leaning forward with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "Do you have an appointment?" "I don't need one. We have... history. Just tell Shim Vanessa's here." "I'm sorry, but Mr. Knight only takes scheduled appointments. I can help you set one up for next week-" "Listen here, little secretary." She interrupted. "I'm Vanessa Caldwell. I spent the night with Alexander last weekend, and I'm not leaving until I see him." "As I mentioned, without an appointment or express permission from Mr. Knight-" "Who do you think you are? Just because you stand next to him all day, fetching his coffee and taking notes, you think you're special?" "Ma'am, I need to ask you to leave-" "You're pathetic. Playing gatekeeper, pretendi

    MadisonHis presence was intoxicating. Alexander's cologne wrapped around me, lingering like dark spices and something earthy. My pulse quickened as he leaned in, our faces just inches apart. "You're here," he murmured. "Mr. Knight, what's going on?" My voice trembled. I placed a hand on his chest, meaning to push him back, but all I felt was the chiseled muscles under his shirt. He took my hand, interlacing his fingers with mine and pressing it back against the wall. The heat from his touch was electric, coursing straight to my core. My breathing turned shallow, and my heart thudded in my ears. His eyes were dark, pupils blown wide. "You're really here." He whispered huskily. His gaze swept my face, lingering on my lips as his breath warmed my cheek. "Are you... okay?" I stammered. His pupils seemed larger than normal, almost swallowing the blue of his irises. Something felt off. Was he on drugs? "I'm more than okay." He nuzzled against my neck, lips brushing my skin. "You're p

    MadisonI woke up feeling like I'd been hit by a truck - a very sexy, Alexander Knight-shaped truck. My body ached in places I'd forgotten existed, and my inner thighs bore the telltale bruises of last night's activities. "Get it together, Madison," I muttered to my reflection as I applied concealer under my eyes. Despite my best makeup efforts, the woman staring back looked debauched. The subway ride to work was torture. Every bump and sway reminded me of how Alexander had moved inside me. How his hands had gripped my hips. How he'd called me Katherine. Katherine. The name bounced around my skull like an angry ping-pong ball. I'd spent half the night googling "Katherine Alexander Knight" with zero results. Not that I was jealous or anything. I mean, why would I be jealous of someone whose name my boss moaned while high on God-knows-what? The elevator ride up to the office felt longer than usual. I checked my phone seventeen times in thirty seconds, praying there wouldn't be a me

    MadisonThe shrill ring pierced through our conversation like divine intervention. I almost wept with relief. Alexander raised an eyebrow. "That's your phone." Oh. Right. My phone. The one currently screaming from my pocket like a banshee with its vocal cords caught in a blender. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Knight." I fumbled my phone, almost dropping it before answering. "Hello?" "Is this Madison Harper?" A clinical voice cut through the line. "Speaking." "This is Metro General Hospital. Your mother, Sarah Harper, was brought to our emergency room-" The world tilted sideways. The pristine office, Alexander's expensive desk, the Manhattan skyline - everything blurred into meaningless shapes. "What happened? Is she-" "She's stable now, but we need you to come in immediately." I shot up from my chair. "I'll be right there." "Madison?" Alexander's voice snapped me back to reality. "What's wrong?" "My mom—she's in the ER. I have to go —" I gestured vaguely at the door. "John will take

    AlexanderI stepped out of the car, taking in the sleek façade of Noir, one of Manhattan's most exclusive lounges. John had parked right out front, a privilege only money and influence could buy in this city. "I'll text when I'm ready," I told him, adjusting my cufflinks as I closed the door. The bouncer straightened when he saw me approach, nodding respectfully as he unhooked the velvet rope. Inside, the bar hummed with the quiet energy of people who could afford to drink here on a Tuesday night. Dim lighting cast everything in amber and shadow, giving even the most ordinary conversations an air of conspiracy. I spotted Leo immediately. He was seated at our usual corner table, nursing what looked like a neat whiskey. His eyes tracked me across the room, his face giving away nothing. "You're late," he said as I slid into the seat across from him. "Traffic," I replied, flagging down a server with just a glance. "Scotch. The Macallan 25." The server nodded and disappeared. I

    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. "Jackson turning out to be h

    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." "

    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
