She was a runaway, and he was heartbroken and cold, sworn away from anything other than hockey. After a one night stand, they find themselves once again at his agency. Logan knew he could not resist her, and Isabella was ready to do anything for money, but the conditions tied to this arrangement were tight. Unfortunately, the heart played no games, and they soon found themselves in a situation that could tear them apart. His enemies come knocking, and her past comes crawling. Was their love strong enough to withstand the heat, or would their pains win in the end?
view moreISABELLA I sat on the cold, hard floor, naked and sprawled out in a pool of sweat and wetness. My chest rose and fell rapidly, my body still trembling from the intensity of what had just happened. My heart was pounding, each beat echoing through the vast, luxurious office that was filled with the lingering scent of sex. I shut my eyes and heaved a deep sigh.I had just had sex with my boss. In his office.Naked. Bare and vulnerable in every sense of the word.A flush of embarrassment warmed my cheeks as I looked around the office. Polished mahogany bookshelves lined the walls, gleaming in the dim light. His desk sat imposingly in the center. This was my first time entering here as I wasn't even assigned to even clean this place. Papers were scattered across the polished wood, slightly crumpled from our reckless movements. The air was thick with the scent of his cologne, mingling with the unmistakable musk of what we had just done.I noticed the mess on the floor-a sticky reminder of
LOGANI realized, far too late, that I had broken years of discipline in a single night and the days after.For years, I had stayed away from unnecessary entanglements. No distractions, no meaningless sex. I had convinced myself that physical desire was just that 'physical' and nothing I couldn’t control. And yet, I had woken up in a hotel suite, tangled in sheets that weren’t mine, with the undeniable scent of sex still clinging to my skin.At first, I told myself it was because I had gone too long without it, and that was the easiest explanation I could give myself. The simplest one, but something gnawed at me the moment I opened my eyes.Something felt off.My head had been heavy, and my limbs weighed down by a sluggishness that wasn’t just exhaustion. The memories were hazy, fractured at the edges, like a puzzle with missing pieces. I could recall flashes of heated skin, breathless laughter, the way my hands had roamed without restraint, but there was something else. Something I c
ISABELLA Like a deer in the headlights, I was frozen. I knew I should hide, but I couldn't even move. My stomach twisted, but I kept my head down, pretending I was deeply fascinated by the floor. Maybe if I just— “You look familiar.” Dios mío. I forced my muscles not to stiffen, but my hands clenched the mop tighter. There was something irritatingly smooth about his voice, like a man who was used to women melting at the mere sound of it. I could already picture his stupidly perfect face, those sharp blue eyes that had looked up at me through the dim lighting of his penthouse suite. I lifted my head slightly, offering a bland look. “Do I?” He tilted his head, scrutinizing me like I was a puzzle missing its last piece. The tailored suit he wore was worth more than my monthly rent, and he looked so put together, so utterly different from the drunk, shameless flirt I had dragged down his hallway. I turned, intent on escaping before recognition fully struck, but before I could take
ISABELLA I woke up in a bed that wasn’t mine.The sheets were silk, cool against my bare skin, so smooth they felt like liquid luxury. For a long second, I lay there, my mind tangled in the fog of sleep, my body sore in places I hadn’t felt in a long time. Then, like a slap to the face, it hit me.I’d let a man have his way with me. Without a fight. No overthinking, no self-sabotage, no last-minute exit strategy. Just... me, him, and a night of reckless passion.I exhaled sharply and turned over, expecting to see him beside me, but the bed was empty. A tiny, pathetic part of me was relieved. Because if he were still here, wide awake, looking at me like a mistake he didn't want to make again, I wouldn’t have known what to say. I sat up, clutching the sheets to my chest, and glanced around. The suite was massive. High ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows that displayed a breathtaking city view, the kind you only saw in magazines. The morning light poured in, illuminating sleek, modern
ISABELLA I never thought I'd be here, fleeing home in search of greener pastures, only to find myself working more jobs than a human should legally be allowed to handle. The American Dream? A scam. A beautiful, glittering scam. Back home, I imagined my future self sipping mimosas by a penthouse window, laughing at my past struggles while my friends partied inside. Instead, I was speed-running life as a waitress, bartender, and occasionally a human coat rack when drunk men mistook me for a decorative piece. But hey, at least I had variety. Tonight, I was late. Again. I tumbled out of the cab, my heel catching on the pavement. "¡Mierda!" I cursed under my breath in Spanish, catching myself before I face-planted. The driver shot me a look before speeding off, but probably thanking his lucky stars, I was no longer his problem. The event hall loomed ahead-grand, glittering, and filled with the kind of people who probably never had to check their bank balances befo
