“Better than prancing around in a bikini,” she muttered, towel in hand as she dried her hair.

The way her wet hair darkened, clinging to her skin, caught my attention. Strange how something so small could shift the way she looked—more untamed, less controlled. It was... distracting.

My eyes traced the silk dress as it slid down her body, hugging her curves. I didn’t mean to stare, but it was hard not to. The fabric clung to her thighs, almost too perfectly. “Not exactly leaving much to the imagination,” I said, forcing a casual tone, but I could hear the roughness in my own voice.

She paused, raising an eyebrow as she tossed her damp hair over her shoulder, a movement that pulled my focus right back to her collarbone. “Oh, is this too distracting for you?”

I met her gaze, forcing myself to stop staring at the dip of her waist, the way the silk shimmered under the light. “I’m not complaining,” I said.

She rolled her eyes, scoffing as she tugged the hem of t

That’s why the book is written by a good author keeps you going. The most interesting thing about Vivs encounters with Ghost is he wearing gloves. One of the things Alessandro taught her was to wear gloves not leaving fingerprints.

    Alessandro ☩══♛══☩ I woke up to a problem this morning. A real problem. Little Miss “don’t-even-think-about-touching-me” was sprawled all over me like I was her personal pillow. Arm across my chest, leg draped over my waist, face tucked right into my neck. Breathing in my goddamn ear. If anyone had told me this would be the way I'd wake up, I would've laughed in their face. Hell, I’m half-laughing now—except there’s nothing funny about the way my body reacted to her being this close. She was soft against me, the heat of her skin seeping through the thin fabric separating us. And waking up before her gave me time. Time to look at her without having to hear her sharp mouth trying to set me on fire. I turned my head slightly, letting my eyes roam. Freckles scattered across her nose, like some artist had been reckless with a paintbrush. Her lashes fanned against her cheeks. That nose, straight and delicate, something almost regal about it. And then there were her lips—full, curv

    Viviane ☩═✦═☩ Swimming had always been my thing. Just me, the water, and nothing else. It was the one place I could shut everything out—where the noise faded, and it was just... peace. But right now, there was a whole different kind of pressure that I was feeling. It wasn’t the water that had my nerves on edge, it was him—too close, too aware. The way his presence rippled through the space between us like a current I couldn’t avoid. And God, it made my skin tingle in ways I didn’t want to acknowledge. It wasn’t even like he was doing anything—just being there, existing, but it was enough to make me feel like I was drowning, even though I could still breathe. And I hated it. Hated how he got under my skin without even trying. He was just a guy. Just a man. So why did my pulse spike every time I caught him looking at me? I shook my head, already irritated as I rifled through Evangeline's closet for the second time. Every single piece of clothing looked like it had just be

    Viviane ☩═✦═☩ Nothing rattled me—not men, not guns, not anything, really. I thought I was untouchable. But out here, in the middle of nowhere, with him behind me, his grip like iron and the cold steel of a gun pressed against my temple? Yeah, that got to me. Adrenaline spiking in my veins. It wasn’t just fear—it was the thrill of it. Not even Ghost ever made me feel this alive, this on edge. This was a whole new level and I could feel myself getting addicted to it. His body slammed into mine like a wave, dragging me under, my back hitting his chest with a force that stole my breath. Water sloshed around us, but all I could feel was him—his arm locked tight around my collarbone, fingers digging into the skin of my shoulder, with the kind of possessiveness that said he wasn’t letting go. Then I felt it. Him. His cock pressed against my ass. Not hard—yet—but it didn’t matter. I could feel every inch of him, the sheer size of him made my pulse race, and I bit down on my lip, fig

    Viviane ☩═✦═☩ Getting pissed off by a man like this? Yeah, that’s a fucking first. I’ve dumped three guys, all on my terms, and not once did they ever get under my skin like this. Not once did they make me want to scream and shove them away just to keep my sanity. But him? This cocky, arrogant bastard who thinks the whole world revolves around him? He’s a whole different kind of infuriating. How the hell did I let this happen? How did I let him crawl under my skin, this man who’s nothing to me, who I should despise? Every smirk, every mocking word, and the way he pushes my buttons like he knows exactly where to hit—it’s maddening. He’s nothing. But damn it, I’m not used to feeling like this, like he’s in my head and I can’t shake him no matter how hard I try. He cooked dinner for us, but there was no way in hell I was eating it. If he thought I was just going to sit down, smile, and play along like everything was fine—like he hadn’t treated me like shit earlier—he had an

    Alessandro ☩══♛══☩ Alessandro blinked against the early morning light, his eyes burning from lack of sleep, but no one asked why. His father shoved a gun into his hand with the same indifference he had when handing out orders to his men. “Time to earn your keep, son,” Vito muttered. Alessandro didn’t show any emotions. At twelve, he’d seen worse than most men. He didn’t cry, didn’t shake. The man tied to the pole barely looked human anymore—gagged, eyes swollen shut, tears mixing with the blood that streaked down his face. His entire body was covered in bruises and burns, broken in ways Alessandro couldn’t even begin to imagine. But all Alessandro cared about was the stillness he could give him. Any other kid would’ve run screaming, but Alessandro? He just stood there, gun heavy in his hand, his mind working out the logistics. He could almost hear the gears turning in his head, calculating the angle, the velocity. The kid was a machine, every number falling into place like pi

    Alessandro ☩══♛══☩ I’ve always been used to handling things on my own. It’s what I do. I thought we were past that, I thought I had already established that. But for the first time, the isolation, the silence—it hit harder than I expected. And it wasn’t the damn island. It wasn’t the lack of tech, the absence of my laptop, my phone, the things that normally kept me grounded. No, it was something else. Something more infuriating. She wouldn’t talk to me. It shouldn’t fucking matter. I shouldn’t care. But somehow, it gnawed at me like an itch I couldn’t scratch. She’s just a woman, I told myself. Just another face, another employee. Nothing special. She was supposed to know her place. Hell, she should be begging to, after all this time. I clenched my jaw, glancing down at the scars on my chest, the ones hidden under layers of ink. My eyes narrowed at the jagged skin. I hated them—every goddamn mark, every reminder of what had been carved into my skin, what couldn’t be erased. No

    Viviane ☩═✦═☩ For the first time in my life, I didn’t know what to feel. I was torn, completely wrecked between what I was feeling now and what I had felt before when he had pushed me away. Alessandro had managed to get me everything I needed, everything I didn’t even think to ask for. Somehow, in the space of a few hours, he pulled off what I never expected. I glanced at the supplies laid out next to me. Tampons, pads—more than I could use in a month. Painkillers that actually worked, finally easing the brutal cramping that had me doubled over earlier. And the heat pad, now wrapped snug around my lower stomach, was slowly untangling the knots of pain. He’d done it all, quietly and without making a fuss, while I lay here on the couch, curled up in misery. My mind fought against the appreciation clawing its way up my throat. He wasn’t supposed to care. I wasn’t supposed to care that he cared. And yet, all I could think about was the fact that here I was, covered in blanke

    Viviane ☩═✦═☩ He didn’t touch me immediately, just let his warmth hover there, like he was giving me time to adjust. Then, slowly, he pressed his palm against my skin, fingers spreading across the ache in my muscles. “You always so tense?” he muttered, his voice like gravel and silk all at once. I swallowed hard, biting back the sigh that threatened to escape. “Only when I’m around you.” His chuckle was low, vibrating through my back. "Good," he said, the word dripping with heat, his hands moving lower, kneading the sore muscles. “Means I’m doing something right.” His touch was slow, soft enough to make me come apart. He didn’t rush, just let the warmth of his hands sink into my skin as his fingers pressed into the knots in my back. I couldn’t help it—the quiet sigh that slipped from my lips. His thumb brushed over the curve of my spine, right at the base, and my breath hitched. “Relax,” he murmured, his hands gliding lower, kneading into the small of my back. His fingers t

    Viviane ☩═✦═☩ He had my attention, all of it. And yeah, I know how that sounds—stupid as hell. But there it was, pulling at me, sneaking up every time I tried to put my focus anywhere else. I told myself it was nothing. Just a phase. A momentary lapse of judgment because we were alone with nothing better to do. He’s not special, I kept repeating. But now that I am here, he still has all of my attention, that pissed me off more than anything. I clenched my jaw, forced myself to focus on anything—emails, documents, hell, even staring at the coffee stain on my desk would’ve been better. But every damn time I tried to get back on track, my brain betrayed me. A flicker of movement from him, a low hum in his voice when he was on a call, and I was right back where I started. "Viviane," his voice slid over me, smooth as sin, "What did you have on your desk today?" I forced myself to glance back at him after trying so hard not to, "The security breaches," I said, as if he didn’t a

    Alessandro ☩══♛══☩ When I walked into the office today, something was different. I felt it before I even crossed the threshold. It was surreal—me, actually smiling. And not the kind of smile that came from hacking, landing a deal or putting someone in their place. No, this was something else. Dom was the first to spot me. He froze, mouth half-open, and then, like a domino effect, everyone in the room followed his gaze. I watched as they all rose from their seats, shock and relief written across their faces. They looked at me like I had died, as if I’d been buried six feet under instead of just off the grid for a bit. Then came Calla and Ha-yoon, practically tripping over themselves in their rush to get to me. Calla moved like she was on a mission, she didn't even let Ha-yoon get close; instead, she practically threw herself into my arms, clutching onto me like I’d vanished forever. She smelled like vanilla and some kind of floral perfume, something I recognized from the countles

    Alessandro ☩══♛══☩ The elevator doors slid open, and the second we stepped into Scott's penthouse, I barely had time to blink before Magnus shot across the room, launching himself at me. “Hey, bud,” I murmured, burying my face in his fur as he head-butted me, purring loud enough to drown out Allegra’s laughter. “Did you miss me, little troublemaker.” Allegra, who was waddling in right behind him, laughed softly, holding her belly with one hand. "Oh, believe me, he did. I’ve tried to keep him happy, but I think he’s been counting down the days till his ‘dad’ came home.” Scott gave me a dry look, walking over to Allegra, he pulled her into his arms, one hand cradling her belly like she was made of glass, "He could’ve fooled me. Little menace acted like I was a complete intruder in my own place," he muttered, half to himself, half to Allegra, who simply laughed at him, "And for the record, the little beast was living like a king here." I nodded, "Thanks, Allegra. Really, I owe yo

    Viviane ☩═✦═☩ No one had ever killed for me—never for my honor, my safety, or anything at all. The blood was still fresh, still seeping through the cracks in the boat’s wooden floor. Sal’s body was nowhere to be seen, and here I was, wrapped in this strange sense of safety. I glanced around the boat. Nearly a dozen men, all of them tattooed and scarred, men with knuckles rough enough to scrape bone and eyes that didn’t blink twice at the sight of blood. I was strong, I have worked my ass off to be this strong, tougher than people usually guessed but against a group of men like this? Against the strength in their fists, I’d be crushed in seconds. But Alessandro alone made me feel safe around them, a barrier they wouldn’t dare breach. I felt safer with Alessandro than I ever had with anyone, safer than I probably had any right to feel in a place like this. He made me feel... soft, in the best, most terrifying way. With him, I didn’t have to be the strong one. With him there,

    Viviane ☩═✦═☩ Two days… Nikolai said he’d send a boat for us in two days. After that, everything became a haze. Time didn’t exist here, not in the way it did out there. Hours, days—it all blurred together, the lines between night and day erased by the way we drowned in each other. The sun had dipped lower, casting an orange glow over the beach as we swam in the ocean. The water was warm against our skin, the sound of our laughter echoing around us but then he stopped, eyes darkening as he pulled me close. His lips found mine, like he had no intention of rushing. Like we had forever. His hands traced lazy patterns on my back as we floated together, I wrapped my legs around him, and for a moment, we were weightless, suspended in the water and in each other. The setting sun became the perfect backdrop to our kiss in the ocean, the fading light wrapping around us like it was made for this moment. Alessandro wasn’t one to keep things gentle for long. We were barely out of the wate

    Viviane ☩═✦═☩ If this is heaven, then screw everything else. I could throw my entire life away for this. This is the only thing that makes sense right now, and if I get to feel like this for the rest of my life, sign me the fuck up. His head was buried between my thighs, and the morning light spilling through the window made my bare skin glow. My nipples were stiff, the air teasing them, and all I could hear—aside from the waves crashing outside—was the sound of Alessandro’s mouth on me. My fingers dug into his hair, pulling him closer, harder. His tongue moved in ways that had my head spinning, and every inch of my body felt like it was on fire. I let out a low moan, my back arching off the bed as I gripped the headboard like it was the only thing tethering me to reality. He was everywhere—teeth scraping along the inside of my thigh, tongue pressing against me like he was a man on death row savoring his last meal. His stubble burned deliciously against my skin. The way

    Viviane ☩═✦═☩ The day Viviane turned sixteen, her life split in two. According to her, that was the day everything changed—for the better. She sat on her bed, legs crossed, laptop propped up in front of her, while her family sang from miles away. Stella, John, and their daughter Felicity were huddled on one side of the video chat, Brandon on the other. The cupcake with a single candle flickered beside her. She wasn’t with them. She was here, in this empty house that barely acknowledged her existence. She blew out the candle, holding back the sting in her eyes. When she playfully pretended to feed them the cupcake through the screen, Stella opened her mouth wide in a theatrical "ahhh," and Brandon joined in with an exaggerated laugh. They were trying, but it wasn’t the same. It never was. Her siblings had sent gifts ahead of time, and after the song, they asked her to open them. Brandon’s was first. She didn’t bother with caution; she tore into the box like she was opening the

    Alessandro ☩══♛══☩ High School Graduation... Alessandro Costello was the guy every guy wanted to be. Good-looking in that unfair way—sharp jawline, blue eyes that seemed to pull you in, and a smile that made people weak at the knees. He wasn’t just popular, he owned the school. Captain of the football team, straight A's without even trying, and with a last name that carried power far beyond the hallways. The kind of name that made teachers look twice, that had parents whispering when he passed by. He drove cars that turned heads—sleek, fast, and expensive—cars that left everyone else staring in his rearview mirror. Girls flocked to him like he was the sun, orbiting his every move, waiting for just a glance or a smirk thrown their way. He didn’t have to chase anyone; they came to him. Alessandro didn’t need to try—he was it, the one everyone wanted to be close to, even if it was just to get a glimpse of what life looked like on his level. But that was just what people sa
