“I can feel your heartbeat,” Damien murmured.
“You could have chosen to defy me. Yet, here you are.”
His fingers traced higher, a teasing and agonizing path.
Chloe shivered. Her breath hitched as his hand pressed forward past the barrier of silk.
A soft gasp escaped her lips when his fingers found the space between her legs.
“So tell me, what do you want?” he whispered against her skin, his strokes slow and teasing, breaking her breaths.
Chloe looked down, watching the way his hands moved—possessive, steady, each motion more intoxicating than the last.
“I want you,” she said. “I want you.”


Damien Cross only had one mission—revenge.
Cold, calculating, and merciless, he’s spent years building an empire and waiting for the perfect moment to strike back at the man who betrayed him.
Chloe Bennett was never supposed to be part of the plan. But when she walked into his life, she became the perfect pawn… and the one temptation he can’t resist.
Now the game has changed.
She was meant to be leverage.
But now she’s becoming his obsession.

 Rain battered the windshield in thick, violent sheets as the car tore through the winding roads of Blackthorn Hill.


 Damien sat in the backseat of the car, looking out the window as the scenery passed by. His father, Carlisso, sat beside him, occasionally glancing at him with a warm smile.


 "Why do I have to go visit Sebastian, Dad?" Damien asked, his voice laced with a hint of reluctance. "He's halfway across the world."


 "Because, Damien, family is everything, his wife just died," Carlisso replied, his voice firm but gentle. "Sebastian needs you right now, and it's your job as brothers to be there for each other."


 Damien looked up at his father, his eyes searching for answers. "But why can't he come here instead? The whole family is here, he'll get all the support he needs." Damien raised a brow.
