Ruthless Temptation Sexual Tension Explodes
Emma’s POVKillian Thomas thought he had won.I saw it in the way he looked at me—like he had figured out the secret to not letting me get under his skin. Like he was immune to me.I hated it.For years, I had dictated the social landscape of Westbridge. I knew how to make people crumble, how to get inside their heads, how to control every situation to my advantage.But Killian? He was the first person I couldn’t manipulate.And that made him irresistible.Not that I’d ever say it out loud.But the more he fought back, the more I wanted to push him. To see how far I could take it before he finally snapped.So when I spotted him leaving class alone, I followed.I didn’t call his name. I didn’t announce my presence. I just walked, letting my heels click against the tiled floor until he finally turned.His expression was flat, unimpressed. “Are you seriously following me?”I stopped a few steps away, tilting my head. “What, can’t handle a little attention, prince?”He exhaled sharply. “W

Emma’s POVI should have been ashamed.I should have been embarrassed.But as I sat in my next lecture, lips still tingling, thighs pressed together to stop the lingering ache between them, all I felt was thrill.Killian Thomas had finally snapped.And God, it was exquisite.For years, I had pushed him, taunted him, trying to crack that impossible control of his. He had always been infuriatingly indifferent, always walking away like he was better than me.But today, he had lost.And I had won.Or at least, that’s what I told myself as I stole a glance across the room.Killian sat three rows ahead, his shoulders tense, his head tilted slightly downward as he pretended to be focused on the professor. But I knew better.He was thinking about it.Us.The way he had shoved me against the wall. The way his lips had devoured mine, like he had been starving for this—starving for me.I bit my lip, suppressing the smirk that threatened to break free.This wasn’t just a moment of weakness.This

Killian’s POVThis was getting out of hand.I told myself that after the last time, I’d stop. That I wouldn’t let Emma Scott pull me into her twisted little game again.But here I was.Again.My hands gripped the edges of my textbook so tightly my knuckles turned white. Across from me, Emma sat at the library table, twirling a pen between her fingers, pretending to study.Except she wasn’t reading a damn thing.Neither was I.How the hell was I supposed to focus when just an hour ago, I had her pressed up against a desk, my lips tracing every inch of her skin, her gasps still ringing in my ears?This was dangerous.It wasn’t supposed to keep happening.But I couldn’t stop.Every time I told myself I’d walk away, she found a way to pull me back in. A smirk, a brush of her fingers against mine, a whisper in my ear that made my blood heat.I hated her for it.I hated myself more for letting it happen.“You’re not even reading,” she said suddenly, breaking the silence.I clenched my jaw,

Killian’s POVIt was supposed to be a normal night.One last study session before exams.One last chance to prepare before we graduated and went our separate ways.But Emma Scott never let anything be normal.Now, here we were.Locked in the goddamn university library.“I told you we should’ve left earlier,” I muttered, pacing near the entrance.Emma, completely unbothered, leaned against the librarian’s desk, twirling a pen between her fingers. “Relax, Thomas. It’s not the end of the world.”I turned to her, exasperated. “We’re stuck here all night, Emma. That’s a problem.”She arched a brow, her smirk deepening. “Is it?”I stiffened.That tone.That look in her eyes.I’d seen it too many times before.“Don’t,” I warned.Her lips curved into a slow, dangerous smile. “Don’t what, Killian?”I exhaled sharply, running a hand through my hair. “We need to focus on getting out of here.”She pushed off the desk, closing the distance between us in slow, deliberate steps.“I can think of a be

Emma’s POVI wasn’t supposed to enjoy his presence outside of sex.But here I was.Lying next to Killian Thomas in the middle of the abandoned library, the first rays of morning light filtering through the high windows. His breathing was slow and even, his chest rising and falling steadily. He looked… peaceful.It was infuriating.Because for the first time since this ridiculous arrangement started, I wanted to stay here a little longer.I wanted to just exist with him.And that was dangerous.I turned my head slightly, taking in his features—his sharp jawline, the faint shadow of stubble that made him look less like the perfect student and more like the man who had spent the night dragging me through every sinful act imaginable.Last night had been different.It wasn’t just sex.It felt like something more, something that lingered even after the pleasure had faded.Something that made my chest tighten in a way I did not like.I forced myself to sit up, pulling the librarian’s old swe

Emma’s POVI wasn’t watching him.At least that’s what I told myself as I leaned against the marble pillar outside the lecture hall, pretending to scroll through my phone.Killian Thomas was standing by the vending machines across the corridor, his laughter ringing out like a punch to my chest.Because she was there.Natalie Cooper. Journalism major. Annoyingly pretty. All bright eyes, bouncing curls, and a flirtatious laugh that grated on my nerves like nails on a chalkboard.I watched her touch his arm like she had the right—like they were close. Like he belonged to her.The worst part? Killian didn’t even pull away.No, he smiled—smiled—in that crooked way that used to be mine. His lips curved just enough to make her giggle, and my chest tightened.What the hell was happening to me?It wasn’t like we were exclusive. Hell, we weren’t even dating. We had sex intense, hate-fueled, toe-curling sex and then went back to pretending we hated each other.That was the deal. That was what ke

Killian’s POVWe weren’t supposed to be in here.The faculty lounge was strictly off-limits to students—especially after hours. But Emma didn’t give a damn about rules. That much had become crystal clear since the first time she dragged me into an empty classroom and kissed me like she hated me for breathing.Now, she’d gone and swiped the keycard from her father’s assistant—of course she had—and was perched on the long leather couch with a smirk that could bring any man to his knees.“Are you seriously dragging me into another illegal hookup?” I asked, shutting the door behind us and locking it.Emma leaned back, crossing her legs slowly, her short plaid skirt rising scandalously high. “You didn’t seem to complain last time.”“Yeah, because last time was a supply closet and we got away with it.”She raised a brow. “You’re scared now?”I stepped closer, tension sparking between us like flint on steel. “Of gettin

Killian’s POVI’d closed billion-dollar deals with less stress than trying to get a baby to nap.My arms were starting to go numb as I gently bounced our six-week-old daughter, Ava, against my chest. Her tiny cheek pressed into my shoulder, warm breath puffing against my skin, her fingers curled tightly around the fabric of my t-shirt like letting go meant she might fall into the abyss of baby nightmares again.Emma was in the living room, giving a pitch via Zoom to the Paris-based luxury brand her team had been courting for the past six months.

Ruthless Temptation First Office Encounter
Emma’s POV I wasn’t prepared for this. For him. The moment Killian’s lips crashed against mine last week in my office, something inside me splintered and rearranged itself in ways I couldn’t explain. I told myself it was a lapse in judgment. A one-time weakness. A farewell to the past that had no place in this corporate world. But I was lying to myself. Now, I sat at the head of the conference table during a branding meeting, pretending to focus on charts and marketing projections while Killian sat directly across from me, flipping through slides with the cool, calculated confidence that had no business being that attractive. His sleeves were rolled up. That damn vein on his forearm was mocking me. “So if we position the relaunch to target Gen Z, we’ll need more digital integration,” Killian said, gesturing to the screen with his pen. “Think video-forward content, influencer tie-ins,
Ruthless Temptation Unexpected Reunion
Killian’s POV The scent of freshly brewed espresso mixed with sterile office air slapped me as I stepped into the glass building. Towering over the skyline, the headquarters of Scott Enterprises was a palace of corporate power, something I’d never imagined I’d be a part of. I adjusted the collar of my fitted blazer, my palms damp despite the air-conditioning. This job was supposed to be a fresh start. I’d graduated with honors, my resume stacked with internships and academic achievements. I wanted to prove myself without handouts, without drama. But the moment I saw the company logo, a small pit had begun to form in my stomach. Scott. The name brought a memory like a slap Emma. I hadn’t seen her since graduation. Our last night together had felt like an ending. The kind of goodbye that burned into your memory and refused to fade. We hadn’t exchanged numbers, hadn’t made promises. Just intense, reckless sex and the unspoken weight of something real neither of us dared to ackn
Ruthless Temptation The Last Night
Emma’s POV The night before graduation was supposed to be simple drinks with classmates, a few laughs, a toast to the years that flew by too quickly. But I didn’t want simplicity. Not tonight. I sat on the edge of the fountain outside the campus library, the stone cool beneath my bare thighs, my graduation robe pooled beside me. The moonlight bathed the stone pathways in silver, and yet, all I could think about was Killian. This was our last night. The last time we’d be in this space. In this strange limbo between hate and lust. I should’ve been relieved. Instead, a quiet ache curled beneath my ribs. When I saw him walking toward me, that familiar swagger in his step, hands shoved into his pockets, hair tousled from the wind, my heart thudded so hard I was afraid he’d hear it. “You’re late,” I said, forcing the teasing lilt into my voice even though my throat was tight. “I figured you’d wait,” he replied simply, eyes raking over me. And God, I was already melting.
Ruthless Temptation :What Comes After
Emma’s POV The university grounds buzzed with the kind of excitement only the end of a semester could bring. Students posed in graduation robes near the ivy-covered arches, champagne bottles popped in the quad, and seniors wandered around in dazed nostalgia, already mourning the end of an era. But for me, it didn’t feel like an ending. Not really. It felt like a cliff I was being pushed toward one I didn’t know how to leap from. I stood at the window of the student union building, watching a group of girls giggle as they snapped pictures in their gowns. My gown was still in its box. I hadn’t even taken it out. Behind me, the room was quiet, except for the rustle of pages. Killian sat on the floor with his back against the wall, reviewing final notes for our last economics paper. His hair was messy from his fingers constantly running through it, and he had that familiar furrow between his brows
