00:00:00I'm a starving succubus who survives on men's desire, but I just woke up in modern New York,

00:00:05where everyone acts like wanting someone is a crime. I got fired and nearly arrested just

00:00:10for touching a co-worker's abs. Desperate for energy, I hide myself in the most boring black

00:00:15suit I can find and interview to become the personal assistant to Ethan Frost, New York's

00:00:20coldest, most untouchable billionaire suit. The moment I see him, every filthy instinct wakes up.

00:00:26I want to ruin him with my mouth from those cold lips down his chest until I'm wrapped around his

00:00:30thick throbbing cock, sucking him dry and breaking his perfect control. Suddenly, Ethan snaps his pen

00:00:36clean in half. He stares at me jaw-tight voice rough. You're hired. He can hear every filthy thought in

00:00:43my head. I'm Jade Summers. One second I was the most seductive succubus in the abyss, drunk on desire and

00:00:49raw sexual energy. The next I blinked and found myself dumped on a crowded street in New York City.

00:00:55This place is insane. The whole city reeks of lust, yet everyone struts around acting like

00:01:00they're above it, preaching self-control, purity and proper behavior. A few days ago I was so starved

00:01:06I could barely hold my human shape. All I did was run my hand over my co-worker's abs to

00:01:11steal a little

00:01:11energy, and I got dragged into HR, publicly fired for sexual harassment, and almost arrested. No legal

00:01:18identity here means I starve. End of story. So I squeezed myself into the most buttoned-up black blazer I

00:01:24could find, every button fastened tight to my throat, and walked into Frost Capital, one of

00:01:29Manhattan's most cutthroat firms, for a personal secretary interview. The man interviewing me was

00:01:35the one who runs everything. Ethan Frost. Everyone called him untouchable. Cold privileged, disciplined

00:01:42to the bone. A man so controlled that women could throw themselves at him all night and he would not

00:01:46even blink. But the moment I stepped into his office, a thick wave of pure, scorching masculine energy

00:01:53slammed into me. My succubus instincts went feral. Oh my god. Look at those broad shoulders, that tight

00:02:00waist, those powerful thighs. Those dress pants are stretched so obscenely I can see the outline of

00:02:06every inch. I bet he's thick, heavy and perfect. I wonder how long this tightly wound ice prince can

00:02:14keep his control before he snaps. I want to shove him back onto that desk, tear that expensive suit off

00:02:20him and ride him raw, until he's shaking and begging. I was deep in that filthy fantasy when a loud

00:02:26snap

00:02:26cracked through the room. Ethan's luxury pen broke in half, black ink spilling over his fingers. He

00:02:33slowly lifted his gaze. Those cold, dark eyes pinned me like a predator. His voice came out low, rough,

00:02:39and dangerously controlled. He paused, jaw-tight, eyes burning with something dark and volatile.

00:02:44Jade Summers. You're hired.

00:02:49I stood there, completely stunned. You really just hired me? After I had mentally stripped him naked and

00:02:55imagined riding him senseless? Not that I was complaining. This job gave me legitimate, daily access to the

00:03:01most powerful source of energy I had ever felt. I had barely stepped out of his office when Victoria, the

00:03:07senior

00:03:07director, cornered me in the hallway. She looked at me like I was something filthy that had just crawled

00:03:12in off the street. She marched up in her sharp heels and shoved my shoulder hard. Button that collar all

00:03:18the way up. If I ever see you throwing yourself at Mr. Frost, you won't even make it through tomorrow.

00:03:24Do you understand me? I let myself stumble back and quickly put on my most innocent, obedient face.

00:03:30Of course, director. I'll be completely professional. But inside, my succubus side was burning with

00:03:36contempt. Throwing myself at him? Please. You look at him like you own him. You have no idea how good

00:03:42it

00:03:42feels to be flooded with that kind of raw, masculine energy. It would probably kill you. A body like his

00:03:47deserves to be claimed every single day. I want to wrap myself around him, drain him with my mouth and

00:03:51hands until he has nothing left to give. A heavy footstep sounded behind me. Ethan stood just a few

00:03:57feet away in his perfectly tailored black suit, his presence filling the hallway. His dark,

00:04:02intense eyes were locked directly on my face. Victoria spun around instantly, flashing a sweet,

00:04:08adoring smile. Mr. Frost! I was just giving the new assistant some orientation on proper office

00:04:14standards, making sure the wrong kind of woman doesn't cause you any problems. Ethan ignored her

00:04:19completely. His gaze never left me. I watched his throat tighten as he swallowed slowly, something dark

00:04:25and heated flashing in his eyes. His voice came out low and commanding. Coffee. Now.

00:04:34Five minutes later, I walked into the CEO's office with a cup of black coffee. The second I stepped

00:04:39through the door, that devastating masculine energy wrapped around me again, hot and clean and way too

00:04:44close. It clung to my skin like a second layer. Ethan was leaning back in his chair, reviewing documents

00:04:51like nothing in the world could shake him. Shirt buttoned. Tie straight. Face cold enough to freeze

00:04:57over hell. But my eyes had no loyalty to my brain. They kept drifting lower straight to the tight stretch

00:05:02of his dress pants. That energy is so thick and pure it's making me dizzy. The way those pants hug

00:05:08him

00:05:09should be illegal. If he ever let loose on me, he would completely wreck me. God, I wanna- I

00:05:14was so busy

00:05:15staring but I completely missed the face beside me. My heel caught the edge of it and rolled.

00:05:19Ah! I lost my balance and pitched forward straight into him. The entire cup of scalding coffee splashed

00:05:25across his lap. Every single drop. A low, ragged groan tore out of him. The documents in his hand

00:05:32scattered all over the floor. My soul nearly left my body. I scrambled up, grabbed the tissue box off his

00:05:38desk and started frantically dabbing at his thighs. Mr. Frost, I'm so sorry. Please don't move.

00:05:44I'll clean it up. The second my fingers pressed against the soaked fabric, I froze. Even through

00:05:50the thin material, the heat under my hand was overwhelming. Hard. Tense. Very, very alive.

00:05:56My fingers started to shake. Wait. Is he getting hard? God, he's huge. Ugh. I just wanna rip these

00:06:03pants open and put my mouth onto his monstrous cock. Ethan's hand, which had been reaching for the

00:06:08tissues, stopped dead in Medair. For one terrifying second, the whole office went silent. Then his

00:06:14large burning hand came down on my lower back. He seized me and pulled me hard against his chest.

00:06:20My breath caught. His body was solid against mine, his breath hot and uneven on my face.

00:06:25That perfect frozen composure finally cracked, and what leaked through was dark, hungry, and

00:06:30dangerous. His voice dropped low. You really can't stop looking there, can you?

00:06:37His voice was low against my ear, and that thick, impossible bulge pressing against me was impossible

00:06:42to ignore. My succubus control was hanging by a thread. This man was plain dirty. And the worst

00:06:49part was, I was almost sure he knew it. I swallowed hard, my whole body going soft against him.

00:06:54My arms slid around his neck before my brain could stop them. I leaned in, lips parting, the tip of

00:06:59my

00:07:00tongue just barely brushing out. One more inch. Just one. Then the memory hit me like a fire alarm.

00:07:06HR dragging me out of my last job in front of everyone. Security watching me like I was dangerous.

00:07:11The threat of handcuffs, police and a permanent record, all because I touched a co-worker's

00:07:16abs when I was starving. My blood went cold. This was not some random office. This was the CEO's

00:07:22office in New York. And this was Ethan Frost, one of the most powerful men in the country.

00:07:27Throwing myself at him was not a cute little workplace mistake. This could destroy my life.

00:07:32All my succubus confidence disappeared in an instant. I came here to survive, not to end up in

00:07:39prison. I shoved him back with a sudden burst of strength, slipped out of his arms and dropped hard

00:07:44onto the floor. Mr. Frost, I'm so sorry. I swear I'm a respectable woman. I just slipped, that's all.

00:07:51I wasn't trying anything. Please don't call the police. I'm not some kind of predator.

00:07:55I fumbled with the door, yanked it open and ran. But as the door swung shut behind me,

00:08:01I caught one last glimpse through the narrow crack. Then, the famously celibate, untouchable

00:08:06ice prince, was still standing exactly where I had left him. His shirt was wrinkled. His breathing

00:08:12was rough. His hands were empty, like he had not expected me to escape. And the look in his eyes

00:08:18was

00:08:18not anger. It was hunger. The kind that made my knees weak even from the other side of the door.

00:08:25That afternoon, I went to the break room to get some water and calm myself down.

00:08:29The coffee disaster was still replaying in my head, along with Ethan's hand on my waist,

00:08:34his rough breathing, and the way he had looked at me before I ran. I needed water. Possibly an exorcism.

00:08:41The second I turned around, Victoria was walking straight toward me with a full basin of ice water

00:08:46in her hands. She stopped right in front of me, a small, vicious smile tugging at her lips.

00:08:51Then she let her foot slip on purpose. The entire basin came crashing down over me.

00:08:56Ice water soaked through my thin white blouse in seconds. The fabric turned almost transparent,

00:09:02clinging to every curve and leaving far too much on display. Co-workers rushed over from every

00:09:07direction.

00:09:22Victoria stood at the front of the crowd, savoring every second of my humiliation. Her voice was sweet,

00:09:28but every word was meant to cut. Everyone seeing this? Our new secretary shows up on day one with

00:09:34lingerie under a white plouse and expects us to believe she is here for spreadsheets?

00:09:38I hugged my soaked blouse to my chest, shivering.

00:09:41This is his frost capital, not some club bathroom. I'm reporting you to HR myself. Enjoy your last day.

00:09:46I lowered my eyes, looking weak and humiliated. Inside I was burning.

00:09:50Get me fired? Go ahead and try. If Ethan sees me like this, he won't be able to look away

00:09:54for days.

00:09:54This body was made to drive a man like him wild. I could wrap myself around him and drain every

00:09:59last drop he has. You're nothing compared to that. Victoria took my silence for fear and reached for

00:10:04my wet collar. What, nothing to say now? You were so good at playing innocent earlier. Come on,

00:10:09let everyone see what kind of professional you really are. The crowd suddenly went silent.

00:10:14What is going on here? One low, cutting voice was enough to freeze the entire break room.

00:10:20Everyone fell silent and stepped aside at once. Ethan walked in. His gaze landed on my soaked,

00:10:27almost transparent blouse. For one long second, he said nothing. His jaw tightened and his throat

00:10:33moved once hard. Those eyes usually cold enough to keep the whole office at a distance, dark in the

00:10:40moment they saw me. Mr. Frost, look at her. I don't know what kind of stunt she pulled to end

00:10:45up like

00:10:46this, but she's been standing here, putting herself on display and trying to make everyone

00:10:50uncomfortable. Ethan did not even look at her. He shrugged off his jacket, still warm and carrying

00:10:56that clean cedar scent, then stepped in front of me and wrapped it around my shoulders. The jacket

00:11:01swallowed me almost completely, cutting off every stare in the room. The second his warmth touched my

00:11:07skin, that rich, dangerous energy of his rolled over me. My knees nearly gave out right there.

00:11:12Without a word he took my wrist and led me out of the break room. No one dared to stop

00:11:17him. The moment

00:11:18we reached his office, he pushed the door open with one hard motion and pulled me inside. Then he

00:11:23locked it. The click of the lock went straight through me. Every bit of suppressed succubus instinct

00:11:28I had been trying to bury came roaring back to life. A locked door. Just the two of us. Oh,

00:11:34I know

00:11:34exactly where this is going. He is going to push me against that floor to clearing window, tear off this

00:11:39ruined blouse, use that tie to trap my wrists, and punish me until I forget how to stand. Yes daddy.

00:11:44Punish me like I'm a bad girl. Ethan stopped. His back went rigid. For a moment, the office was so

00:11:51quiet I could hear my own heartbeat. Then a vein jumped at his temple and he took one slow breath

00:11:56like he was trying very hard not to lose control. When he turned around, his expression had gone

00:12:01dangerously still. The next second he crossed the room caught me by the waist and backed me against

00:12:06the window. His hands landed on either side of my head, caging me in completely. The glass was cold

00:12:12against my back. He was burning hot in front of me. His voice came out low, restrained, and rough

00:12:18around the edges. What exactly goes on in that little head of yours all day, Jade?

00:12:24Pinned against the window by a man that tall, that close, and that intense, I pulled my shoulders in

00:12:29and gave him my best helpless, wide-eyed look. Mr. Frost, I wasn't thinking anything. I was just

00:12:36scared after getting soaked like that. Ethan let out a low, cold laugh. His fingers closed around my jaw

00:12:42and tilted my face up. His breath brushed over my lips, warm and dangerously uneven. He did not answer

00:12:49me. Instead, his other hand went to his tie. He pulled it loose in one slow, deliberate motion like

00:12:54he had all the time in the world. Then he dropped it onto the desk. My pulse jumped. Then he

00:12:59undid the

00:13:00top two buttons of his shirt. That collarbone. That shadow beneath the open fabric. That hard,

00:13:06controlled body he kept locked away under expensive suits every single day. He stepped right into my

00:13:11line of sight and stayed there. This man was baiting me on purpose. I stared at his open collar and

00:13:17swallowed hard. My traitorous hand started rising on its own, reaching for that warm, firm chest like I had

00:13:23no survival instincts at all. Screw it. He started this. Just touching him would be worth it.

00:13:35My fingertips were one breath away from touching him. Then the alarm in my head screamed. Flashing lights.

00:13:42Cold handcuffs. Iron bars. A full criminal case with my name on it. Getting fired for touching a

00:13:48co-worker's ass was bad enough. Putting my hands on the CEO of Frost Capital, there was a life sentence

00:13:54in heels. Self-preservation kicked in. I snatched my hand back, ducked under his arm, and slipped away.

00:14:01Mr. Frost, my eyes are closed. I didn't see anything. Please keep your shirt on. I have absolutely zero

00:14:07inappropriate thoughts about you. I spun toward the door and got my hand on the lock. But before I could

00:14:12turn it, a rush of cedar and heat swept over me from behind. Ethan was suddenly there, his shirt still

00:14:18undone. One hand braced against the door, trapping me in place. His chest pressed close against my back,

00:14:24and his breath brushed over my ear. Zero inappropriate thoughts. His voice was low and rough, with an edge

00:14:31that left no room to hide. His fingers found my jaw from behind and turned my head, forcing my gaze

00:14:37back

00:14:37to the open stretch of his shirt and everything it revealed. How disappointing. I have plenty of dirty

00:14:44thoughts about you, Jade Summers. That line, spoken from that close, nearly made my succubus tail come

00:14:52out. I stood trapped between the door and his heat, completely unable to move. Just when I thought he was

00:14:58about to forget every last bit of restraint and do something about it right there in his office,

00:15:02the pressure suddenly lifted. He reached into the pocket of the jacket wrapped around me and slipped

00:15:07in a black and gold invitation card, along with a handwritten note. Tomorrow night's finance charity

00:15:12gala. You're attending as my executive advisor. Go to this address today and get a gown. By the time

00:15:18I made it back to my desk, the note was still warm in my palm. The next evening, a black

00:15:23Maybach pulled

00:15:24up smoothly in front of an elite boutique on Fifth Avenue. The store manager had clearly been briefed

00:15:29in advance and met us at the door with a polished, professional smile. Miss Summers, right this way,

00:15:34to the fitting area. She looped the tape around my chest, then drew it in at my waist.

00:15:39A second later, she gasped. Good lord, Miss Summers. These measurements are unreal. This kind of figure

00:15:46comes along once in a lifetime. She immediately pulled out a red gown, deep V-neckline, open back,

00:15:53a slit that started high on the thigh. I recommend this one. Wear this tonight, and you'll be the best

00:16:00thing that ever happened to Frost Capital's public image. I stared at that gorgeous, barely there piece

00:16:05of fabric, and my succubus instinct sat straight up. With this body in that dress? Absolutely lethal.

00:16:12So that is why he kept looking at me like that yesterday. He has been wanting to see me in

00:16:18this

00:16:18all along. Fine. I'll wear it to the gala and watch his eyes drop straight to my neckline.

00:16:24That will be entirely his fault. Then the memory of being trapped against the door last night came

00:16:30back in full detail, and my survival instinct seized the wheel. Low profile. Boring. Safe. If he lost

00:16:37control in front of everyone at the gala, I would lose the job and then I would starve. I backed

00:16:42away

00:16:42from the dress like it had personally threatened me, both hands clamped to my collar. No. Absolutely

00:16:48not. High neck, long sleeves, ankle length if possible. I am a professional. The words had barely

00:16:54left my mouth when a quiet, unmistakably amused laugh came from just outside the heavy fitting room

00:16:59curtain. Ethan had appeared on the other side, perfectly dressed, perfectly composed, and somehow

00:17:04right there. He glanced at the manager, his expression unreadable. Give us a moment.

00:17:11The manager blinked, bowed, and quickly slipped out. Ethan walked into the fitting area and picked

00:17:16up the red gown. The heavy curtain swept shut behind him. Now it was just the two of us in

00:17:22a

00:17:22very small space. The air seemed to thicken. He moved toward me one step at a time, his tall frame

00:17:28carrying the full weight of his presence, until my back pressed against the full-length mirror.

00:17:33Mr. Frost, what are you doing? I swallowed hard. My palms were damp. Ethan set the gown aside and

00:17:39picked up the measuring tape. Drop straight to your neckline? I leaned unsteadily against the mirror and

00:17:45stared at him. How was he hearing every single thought in real time, even the ones from yesterday?

00:17:50He did not give me a second to figure it out. He spread his arms with the tape between them

00:17:55and

00:17:55wrapped it around my waist, pulling me in from behind in a way that felt far too close to an

00:18:00embrace.

00:18:00His energy washed over me all at once and my legs nearly gave out. Help. He is so close. He

00:18:07is so

00:18:08warm. This is going to drown me. Those shoulders. That waist. Right here. Within reach. I want to push

00:18:18him back against this mirror, tear that suit off him, and make him lose every bit of that perfect control.

00:18:25Ethan's breathing changed. He dipped his head, his lips only a breath from my ear, and his voice

00:18:31came out low enough to make my knees weaken. Jade, let me find out for myself exactly how

00:18:39extraordinary you are. His hand moved slowly up my back. The other cradled the back of my head.

00:18:45His face tilted closer and his lips were one second away from mine. One second before contact,

00:18:51the coward in me took over. I dropped, tried to slip under his arm and aimed for the narrow gap

00:18:57beside him. This time he did not let me get away. His arm caught my waist and pulled me back

00:19:02hard

00:19:02against him. For a second, my feet left the floor and my back hit the mirror with a low solid

00:19:07sound.

00:19:08His chest was pressed against mine with no space between us at all. Those dark eyes were done

00:19:13pretending. Every bit of restraint he had been wearing like a second suit was gone.

00:19:17His voice came out rough and absolute. Stop thinking about ruining me,

00:19:23and then running the second things get real. His grip tightened at my waist,

00:19:27firm enough to make it clear that this time he was not letting me slip away.

00:19:31Jade, you are wearing that red dress to the gala tonight. His eyes moved over my face,

00:19:38then lowered briefly to the gown beside us. Because right now, I want to see you in it.

00:19:48I ran, but it did not matter. That night at the charity gala, I was still wearing the red dress

00:19:54Ethan had personally approved. The venue was all crystal chandeliers, champagne towers,

00:19:59and people pretending they were not staring. We had barely made it through the entrance when Victoria

00:20:04appeared with a glass of wine and a sweet, innocent smile. Ms. Summers, Mr. Frost left a backup document

00:20:10in the storage room at the end of the hall. Be useful and go get it, for him. I was

00:20:17lightheaded

00:20:17with hunger and too distracted to think clearly so I went. The moment I stepped through the old wooden

00:20:22door, the lock clicked shut from the outside. Heels clicked away into silence. Victoria, obviously.

00:20:29The storage room had no windows and no ventilation. It was dark cramped and sweltering, like I had been

00:20:35sealed inside an oven. In that kind of heat with my body already starving, my succubus instincts kicked

00:20:41into full overdrive. The hunger rose from somewhere deep inside me burning through my veins, turning my

00:20:47legs weak. All I could think about was the fitting room. Ethan's arms around my waist. His breath at my

00:20:53ear. That clean, intoxicating energy pouring off him and sinking into my skin. I just need him to hold me

00:20:59right now. That's it. Just hold me. If he came through that door and completely took me over, I don't

00:21:07know how much longer I can hold back. The lock turned again. The dark silhouette slipped inside and shut the

00:21:13door behind him. Then he locked it again. My breath caught. How long are you going to keep driving me

00:21:20crazy like this, Jade? Mr. Frost? How did you get in here? I didn't do anything. I didn't even say

00:21:24anything. You didn't have to. Every single word. He moved closer. That overwhelming heat rolled over

00:21:31me, rich and controlled and dangerous. His hand pressed to the wall beside my head, and he backed

00:21:36me into it with his body without ever fully touching where he should not. In the dark, he leaned down

00:21:41until

00:21:42his nose almost brushed mine. His voice was low, rough, and far too steady. Then he repeated my own

00:21:48thoughts back to me, word for word, calm and merciless. I couldn't stop imagining Ethan's

00:21:53thick cock pushing against my pussy. Jade Summers, you've been undressing me in your head every day

00:21:59since the interview. Did you really think I couldn't hear you? From the moment you walked into my office

00:22:05on day one, every single word, I heard all of it. His voice was low and steady in the dark,

00:22:13but it carried

00:22:13a weight that made my knees want to give out. I stood there completely still, my mind blike.

00:22:19Day one? That means every thought? Every single insane thing I've been thinking about him?

00:22:27Every single one. He answered like he was reading from a file, his lips almost brushing my ear.

00:22:33Including. I want to tear him apart. My face burned with humiliation. I wanted the floor to open up and

00:22:41swallow me straight back to the abyss. A thousand years of dignity. Gone. Destroyed in one storage.

00:22:47Heard that too. His breath scorched my skin as he pressed closer. Through the thin fabric of his

00:22:53dress pants, I could feel the unmistakable heat and hard shape of him pushing firmly against me.

00:22:59I tried to back away on instinct, but there was nowhere to go. The wall was already pressed against

00:23:04my spine. Still trying to run from me? There was something dangerous in his voice now.

00:23:09Not anger exactly. Something darker. Something tightly leashed.

00:23:14I wasn't running. I just, I mean, I could not form a proper sentence. My mouth was denying

00:23:20everything while my thoughts were already betraying me. I don't want to run. I'm just scared. Scared of

00:23:27jail. Scared of losing this job. Scared I'll actually let him do whatever he wants.

00:23:33Ethan let out one quiet laugh.

00:23:36Jail? That is what you're scared of? His fingers caught my jaw and tipped my chin up. Those eyes

00:23:41were always so cold. Not now. Now they looked like they could burn me alive.

00:23:46You weren't scared when you were imagining my pants on the floor. And taking everything I have.

00:23:53My breath caught. That was private. Not to me. His thumb brushed along my jaw, slow enough to make

00:24:00my entire body tighten. Jade, listen to me. His voice dropped lower. I'm not calling the police.

00:24:07I swallowed hard. I'm not firing you. He leaned closer, every word deliberate.

00:24:14I'm done holding back. I'm going to give you every filthy thing you've been begging for.

00:24:21My breathing fell apart completely. Every word out of his mouth landed like a hook,

00:24:26catching on every nerve in my body. Give me what I want. Healy just said that.

00:24:32Does he even understand what he's offering? I do. He dipped his head, the tip of his nose

00:24:37brushing mine, his voice rough and low. From the day you walked into my office,

00:24:41I knew exactly what was going through your head. I didn't send you away. I didn't let you go.

00:24:45I kept pulling you closer on purpose. His hand settled firmly on my waist,

00:24:50strong but not forcing. Like he was giving me one final chance to back out. Ask yourself why.

00:24:56I opened my mouth, but no words came out. Why? Unless you actually want me just as badly?

00:25:02There it is. Then he pulled me in and kissed me hard. It was not tentative. It was not polite.

00:25:07It was

00:25:08not the careful, controlled kiss of a man asking permission with every breath. It was hunger finally

00:25:13breaking through restraint. Weeks of cold composure cracked open all at once, and the man underneath

00:25:18was anything but calm. One hand held the back of my head, keeping me from retreating. The other

00:25:23traced my waist, his touch leaving heat everywhere it landed. I could not breathe. My hands found his

00:25:29shoulders on their own. Fingers digging into the expensive fabric of his suit jacket. This man cannot

00:25:34be real. No one this controlled should kiss like this. Ethan pulled back half an inch,

00:25:39his mouth still brushing mine. Stay with me. Then he kissed me again. Deeper this time. Slower.

00:25:46More deliberate. Like he had decided I was done running, and he intended to make sure I remembered

00:25:51it. The storage room felt hotter by the second. His hand found the slit of my red dress and slipped

00:25:56beneath the fabric, his fingers grazing the inside of my thigh. The sound escaped before I could stop it.

00:26:03My whole body went soft against him. Ethan's breathing turned rougher. His hand moved higher,

00:26:09devastating, stopping just short of the place that would have ruined every last bit of my

00:26:13self-control. Don't stop. Please don't stop now. His fingers tightened slightly against my thigh.

00:26:19I heard that. His hand was just about to move again when the storage room door exploded inward

00:26:24from a single kick. Victoria's voice rang down the entire corridor. Everyone, get over here. I found her.

00:26:32Frost Capital's new assistant is locked in a storage room during a company gala with some random man.

00:26:36Security, get them out here now. Victoria had brought security guards,

00:26:41senior executives, and half the gal with her. Her face was twisted with triumph,

00:26:46like she had been waiting all night to turn one private mistake into a public scandal.

00:26:51This is exactly what I warned you about. She is a liability. She disappears during work hours,

00:26:56drags some man into a restricted area, and puts the entire company's reputation at risk.

00:27:00The flashlight swept wildly across the room. Then the beam landed on us. On Ethan. On me pressed

00:27:07against the wall in his arms. Victoria's scream died in her throat. Ethan's jacket came down over

00:27:13my shoulders, heavy with cedar and body heat, covering me completely. He pulled me back against

00:27:19his chest, shielding me from every stare in the doorway. His shirt was rumpled. His collar hung open.

00:27:25His belt was half undone. And those eyes, usually distant and untouchable, were burning now with

00:27:31something dark enough to make every person at that door step back. He turned his head and swept the

00:27:36room with one look. Who the hell gave you permission to kick down my door?

00:27:41Mr. Mr. Frost?

00:27:43Her legs gave out. She dropped straight to the floor, her face white as paper. She had spent the

00:27:49whole night setting a trap for me. She had dragged half the company here to watch my downfall.

00:27:53But she never imagined the man she would catch with me would be Ethan Frost himself.

00:27:58I stayed tucked against Ethan's chest, feeling his heartbeat under my cheek. And for once I did

00:28:03not even try to hide my satisfaction. Well, surprise Victoria, you tried to ruin my night,

00:28:09and now he's about to ruin, ruin, your entire career. Honestly, I could not have planned it better

00:28:14myself. Ethan's arm tightened possessively around my waist. He looked down at the woman collapsed on

00:28:20the floor with total indifference, his voice cold and final. He looked toward Leo, who had just pushed

00:28:26through the crowd. Take her to accounting. Have her office cleared before midnight. Then make sure she

00:28:31never sets foot inside Frost Capital again. The corridor was so quiet you could hear champagne

00:28:38bubbles popping in the next room. Victoria was still screaming as security dragged her away.

00:28:44Mr. Frost! You can't fire me over this! That little slut seduced you! You're not thinking

00:28:51clearly because of her! Her voice faded toward the elevator bank, then disappeared. Ethan did not

00:28:57even look in her direction. He bent down, scooped me up over his shoulder like I weighed nothing and

00:29:02started walking. Mr. Frost! Put me down! I can walk! I hung upside down against his back,

00:29:09half-heartedly patting his shoulder blades. He didn't stop. He carried me straight through

00:29:14the executive corridor and up to the penthouse suite at the top of the building. The suite door

00:29:18flew open with one powerful kick. Then it slammed shut and locked. The world spun, and I landed on the

00:29:25enormous soft bed, somewhere between being thrown and placed. Before I could even sit up,

00:29:30Ethan came down over me all that intense, controlled power aimed straight at my body.

00:29:34His tie was already in his hand. He dropped it to the floor. Both palms pressed into the mattress

00:29:40on either side of my head, and those dark eyes had completely given up any pretense of being cold.

00:29:45We got interrupted earlier. His voice was rough and low, his breath hot against my face.

00:29:50We were way past pretending. He could hear every thought in my head. There was nothing left to

00:29:55hide. Something inside me finally broke. I reached up, grabbed his collar, and looked him straight in

00:30:01the eyes. We barely got started. You've been listening to every dirty thought. I've had this

00:30:09whole time, haven't you? I've been holding back for weeks. Tonight I'm done holding back!

00:30:16I let one finger trace slowly down the center of his chest. Something dark shifted in his eyes.

00:30:22The last bit of restraint in him snapped. He repeated my own thoughts back to me,

00:30:27his voice low and deliberate. That body looks incredible. I could ride him into the ground.

00:30:34Jade, if you say stop tonight, we're not stopping. He pulled me into a deep, demanding kiss. The man

00:30:41everyone knew as cold, composed, and completely uninterested in women turned out to be absolutely

00:30:46devastating the moment the door closed. That night, I learned exactly what happens when a man with that

00:30:53much self-control finally lets it snap. He was relentless. Thorough. Like a man who had spent

00:30:58years starving in the desert and had finally found the one thing he wanted. Once he had me he had

00:31:03no

00:31:03intention of letting go. He found every weak spot I had and used them against me again and again,

00:31:08until I was clinging to him and begging him to slow down.

00:31:11I'm a succubus. I don't beg. And yet here I was. By morning, pale light spilled through the

00:31:17floor-to-ceiling windows. I opened my eyes feeling like I had survived a wreck. Every part of me ached

00:31:23in ways that were far too specific to ignore. Cold, restrained, and completely uninterested in women?

00:31:29What? What a joke. I am a thousand-year-old suffogos who came to this world to feed on men,

00:31:36and last night I was the one who had to tap out. The humiliation is unreal. I had barely finished

00:31:42my

00:31:42internal rant when a strong, warm arm wrapped around me from behind and pulled me back against

00:31:46his solid chest. Complaining about me again? His voice was low, rough, and far too relaxed for a man

00:31:52who had ruined my dignity only a few hours ago. His lips brushed the back of my neck. Sounds like

00:31:58last

00:31:58night still wasn't enough. My whole body went tense. Ethan gave a quiet laugh and was already rolling

00:32:04me back toward him when every phone on the nightstand lit up at once. The mood snapped. In half a

00:32:10second,

00:32:10Ethan went from lazy and satisfied to ice cold. The temperature in the room seemed to drop 10 degrees.

00:32:16I leaned over to look. The financial gossip pages and social media had exploded. Frost Capital's new

00:32:22female assistant has a history of workplace sexual harassment. Woman accused of touching multiple

00:32:28male co-workers at previous firm, nearly arrested. The article included a clear surveillance photo.

00:32:34Me. My very first day in this world. Hand slipped inside a co-worker's shirt. Right below it was the

00:32:40official termination notice from my old job. The evidence looked damning. I went completely rigid.

00:32:46Victoria's final parting gift. She must have leaked it on her way out.

00:32:51Ethan stared at the screenshot. A vein throbbing in his temple, his grip on the phone so tight his knuckles

00:32:57turned white. He turned to me, his eyes burning with a mix of fury and something far more dangerous.

00:33:03You were terrified of the police. Scared I'd report you. That's because you actually almost got arrested.

00:33:11For this, isn't it? My stomach dropped. Mr. Frost, please hear me out. I had just arrived in this world.

00:33:17I was so starved I was about to lose my physical form. I only needed a little energy to survive.

00:33:23And that guy was barely worth anything. His energy was like a three out of ten. I barely touched his

00:33:27hand and HR was already dragging me out. He was a sad little street stack. You are a full five

00:33:32bag

00:33:33course meal. Why the hell would I even look at anyone else after tasting you? The murderous look

00:33:37on Ethan's face faltered for just a second. The jealousy in his eyes didn't fade. If anything,

00:33:43it burned even hotter. He let out a sharp humorless laugh and moved toward me. So what you're saying is

00:33:48I'm not satisfying you enough and you're already thinking about going somewhere else? How many men's

00:33:53abs have you touched exactly? Before I could figure out how to handle a jealous, possessive CEO,

00:33:57his personal line rang. Leo's voice came through on speaker, tense and urgent.

00:34:02Mr. Frost, Victoria and her father, board director Warren, have taken over the top

00:34:10floor conference room with six other board members. They've seen the morning news. They're claiming you're

00:34:17protecting someone with a sexual harassment record and it's destroying the firm's reputation. Warren

00:34:25is demanding you hand over operational control right now. They've also called the police. Officers

00:34:31are already waiting in the lobby. The jealousy in Ethan's eyes turned ice cold in an instant.

00:34:37He threw back the covers and stood up, grabbing a fresh white shirt from the wardrobe. He buttoned it

00:34:43with slow, precise movements, each one cold and calculated. His hands paused on his tie. He glanced

00:34:49over his shoulder at me, his voice sharp. Get dressed. Come deal with the mess you started. Anyone

00:34:56who thinks they can come after me is going to learn exactly what that cost them today. Thirty minutes

00:35:03later, the top floor conference room at Frost Capital. The moment we pushed open the doors,

00:35:08the entire room fell silent. Board members lined both sides of the long table, watching with barely

00:35:13hidden anticipation. Warren sat at the center, his pampered face arranged in smug confidence. Victoria

00:35:20was right beside her father. The second she saw me, she shot out of her chair. There she is. That

00:35:26shameless woman has the nerve to show her face here after everything she's done. She slammed a stack

00:35:30of surveillance screenshots onto the table. Look at these. Your precious new assistant is a predator.

00:35:36Because of her disgusting scandal, the company stock hit its lower limit this morning. Mr. Frost,

00:35:41if you don't hand her over to the police downstairs right now, you are just as guilty.

00:35:46The room buzzed with whispers. Every eye in the room turned on me like knives. Ethan sat at the head

00:35:51of the table, expression completely blank, fingers tapping slowly against the surface. The silence was

00:35:57suffocating. The board members took it as a sign that Ethan was about to fold and cut me loose.

00:36:02Victoria clearly read it the same way. She stormed around the table in her heels and came straight

00:36:07for me, arm already swinging. You worthless little tramp! Let me do this company a favor!

00:36:14A sharp crack echoed through the room, but I was the one still standing. While everyone watched in

00:36:20shock, I caught Victoria's wrist mid-swing with a grip like steel. A thousand years as a succubus meant my

00:36:26strength had nothing to do with how much energy I'd taken lately. He was no match for me. I twisted

00:36:32her

00:36:32wrist and shoved her away hard. She stumbled backward in her heels and crashed hard onto the conference

00:36:37room floor. You just attacked someone in front of the entire board?! I brushed my hands off and looked

00:36:43down at Victoria with a slow, cold smile. You want to dig up the past? Fine. Let's dig deep. I

00:36:50walked to

00:36:51the table, picked up one of the surveillance photos, and held it up for everyone to see. Yes, that's me.

00:36:58I touched a co-worker. I got fired for it. We were both single and I accepted the consequences.

00:37:04Is that really worth calling the police? I dropped the photo directly onto Victoria's face.

00:37:09What's more interesting is you, Victoria. Last night, you paid a hacker to illegally break into my former

00:37:16employer's servers, stole that footage, and used company money to buy trending spots, and bought

00:37:22traffic. I pulled a black USB drive from my jacket and slammed it down in the middle of the table.

00:37:28Wire transfers, chat logs, a signed confession from the hacker, everything. You want to talk about who

00:37:37deserves prison time? Start with yourself. Victoria's face went from gray to deathly white. She was

00:37:46shaking so hard she could barely stay upright. You're making all of this up! None of that is real!

00:37:53I kept my expression calm while internally I was counting down. 3, 2, 1. Babe, your turn. I just laid

00:38:00every card I have on the table. If you don't back me up right now, tonight I'm going to find

00:38:04a delivery

00:38:05guy to feed on and you can deal with the consequences. Though honestly, even when he's just sitting there

00:38:10looking serious, why does he have to be so damn attractive? I want to crawl into his lap and kiss

00:38:16him until he loses his voice. Ethan's fingers, which had been steadily tapping the table,

00:38:21suddenly stopped. A flash of something crossed his face. He shot me a quick look that clearly said,

00:38:26control those thoughts right now. His ear had gone noticeably red. He looked away,

00:38:32regained his composure and gave Leo a small nod. Leo stepped forward and pressed a button. The large

00:38:37screen came alive, showing every transaction Victoria had made the night before, followed

00:38:42by a confession video Leo had clearly secured himself. The room erupted. Warren watched his

00:38:48daughter collapse and finally dropped his smug smile. But this was a man who had survived decades on

00:38:53Wall Street. He recovered quickly. Mr. Frost, impulsive decisions have consequences at your age.

00:39:00Victoria made a mistake and I'll handle her privately. But don't forget that 100 billion

00:39:04cross-border acquisition, I brookered it. The other party trusts me and only me. He lifted his chin

00:39:09arrogantly. You move against us today and that deal vanishes immediately. I leaned against the table and

00:39:16studied the old man's self-satisfied face. Something twisted in my stomach. I closed my eyes and fully

00:39:22opened the succubus ability I had been holding back all week. Great. Plus. Hidden secrets. They came to

00:39:29me like a clear scent. Within seconds, Warren's entire dirty hand was laid out in my mind like an

00:39:34open book. 100 billion deal, please, sweetheart. This man has three mistresses, four offshore properties

00:39:42in the Cayman Islands and Kyprus, paid for with laundered money from this very deal. The shell companies are

00:39:49even named after his mistress's initials. He's actually that stupid. He moved 40 million into one

00:39:56of them just this month. At the head of the table, Ethan's fingers went completely still on the folder.

00:40:02He was receiving every shocking detail straight through my thoughts. He slowly raised his head.

00:40:07The way he looked at Warren now was pure predator. The look of someone who already knew every card on

00:40:12the table and found the whole game boring. The corner of his mouth curved slightly.

00:40:17The 100 billion acquisition, Warren? You really think I was only looking into your daughter last

00:40:21night? The confidence drained from Warren's face degree by degree. Mr. Frost?

00:40:26Ethan pressed the remote without another word. The screen switched to a full forensic audit report.

00:40:31The critical findings highlighted in stark red. Page after page of transactions, layered offshore shell

00:40:38company charts. Every thread leading back to one name. Warren. Ethan rose slowly from his chair,

00:40:44then slammed a thick stack of documents onto the conference table. Papers flew everywhere. Five years.

00:40:51Four hundred million dollars. Every transaction, every count, every shell company named after your

00:40:56mistress. It's all right here, Warren. With this kind of evidence staring you in the face,

00:41:00you don't even get to beg for mercy. The senior directors who had been backing him went pale.

00:41:04One by one, they quietly scooted their chairs back, desperate to distance themselves from the

00:41:09father-daughter disaster. Warren's legs gave out. His face turned ash white as he collapsed back into

00:41:15his chair, lips trembling, unable to speak a single word. I leaned against the table and watched Ethan

00:41:22backlit, spine straight, completely dismantling the old fox without breaking a sweat. I couldn't help myself.

00:41:28God, he's unreal. My knees are gone. There it is. My Secubia instincts are firing hard. I want to throw

00:41:36him down on this conference table right now and ride him until he can't think straight. Ethan's posture

00:41:42stiffened slightly. At an angle no one else could see, the tips of his ears turned a deep red. He

00:41:48swung

00:41:48his head around and shot me a sharp look that said, control yourself right now. I stuck my tongue out

00:41:53at

00:41:53him. Just then, the conference room doors burst open. Several officers from the financial crimes

00:41:58unit walked in, faces grim and determined. Warren, you're under arrest for embezzlement and large-scale

00:42:04money laundering. Come with us. The cold click of handcuffs snapped around Warren's wrists.

00:42:10Victoria went wild next, thrashing and screaming that I had done this to her. But two officers pinned

00:42:15her down and cuffed her anyway. The pair who had been untouchable minutes earlier were dragged out of

00:42:20the room like common criminals. Dead silence fell over the room. The remaining directors were sweating

00:42:25through their suits, barely daring to breathe. Ethan swept the room with a cold, measured stare.

00:42:31Does anyone here have a problem with Miss Summers staying at this company? Every director shook their

00:42:36heads frantically. No problem. Absolutely none. We're done here. In under 10 seconds, every director

00:42:43bolted, clutching their files and nearly tripping over each other to get out. The moment the door clicked

00:42:48shut. Ethan grabbed the remote and locked the conference room doors. The floor-to-ceiling blinds

00:42:54descended slowly, cutting off every bit of the Manhattan skyline. The room went dark. I was

00:43:00reaching for my glass of water, still riding the adrenaline when Ethan crossed the room in long,

00:43:05powerful strides. His presence hit me before he even touched me, that rich cedar scent mixed with raw

00:43:11heat. He grabbed my wrist and pressed me hard against the edge of the conference table.

00:43:16Warren and Victoria's bill is paid. Now it's time to settle ours.

00:43:20He leaned down, eyes locking onto mine with intense focus. Answer me. How many guys abs have you

00:43:26actually touched? That one with the energy score of three, was it really worth it? Worth it? Please.

00:43:32Nothing compares to that insane waste of his. He's in a completely different league and he knows it.

00:43:37That was all it took. Whatever control he had left snapped. He grabbed me by the waist,

00:43:42lifted me off the ground, and set me down in the middle of the paper-covered conference table.

00:43:47Cameras are off. Now I want you to show me every dirty thought that's been running through that head

00:43:52of yours. All of it. He pressed forward and kissed me hard. Several hours later, after we had thoroughly

00:43:59used every inch of that conference room, an anonymous investigative report landed at a media office

00:44:05somewhere in New York. The document was clear. Jade Summers. No social records, no enrollment history,

00:44:12no employment trail before five years ago. Appeared out of nowhere. Suspected false identity.

00:44:18Possible corporate infiltrator. The heat from the conference room had barely faded when the story

00:44:24exploded the next morning. A major feature titled Frost Capital's Executive Advisor. Who is she really?

00:44:30Tore through every financial outlet. The piece questioned my complete lack of digital footprint

00:44:36or work history before five years ago. I sat at my desk staring at the blazing red headline,

00:44:41palms sweating. This was bad. My five years ago, belonged to someone else's body in another life.

00:44:48There was no paper trail because there couldn't be one. Around me, the interns and junior analysts had

00:44:53dropped all deference. I was nervously tugging at the hem of my blazer when the executive suite door opened.

00:44:59Ethan walked out holding a printed copy of the report, his expression ice cold. He didn't look

00:45:04at anyone else. He caught my wrist and pulled me straight into his private lounge. The door shut.

00:45:10He pressed me down onto the sofa, sat across from me and stared at the report in silence for a

00:45:15long moment.

00:45:15Here it comes. He's going to ask who I really am and how I appeared out of thin air. What

00:45:21do I even say?

00:45:22That I'm a suckabor who needs men's intimate energy to survive? Is he going to think I'm a monster and

00:45:28try to lock me away? My mind was spiraling into disaster scenarios. Across from me, a vein ticked

00:45:34in Ethan's temple. He finally took a slow breath and set the report down. What do you want for dinner

00:45:39tonight? I froze completely. Every lie I had prepared got stuck in my throat. I just stared at him.

00:45:47You're not going to ask? The whole internet is calling me a spy or a sleeper agent? Ethan stood

00:45:53and straightened his cuffs with that same calm composure. I'm curious. Then why aren't you-

00:45:58Because I've already heard every single thought. He met my eyes, patient and certain. The ones when you

00:46:03can't sleep. The ones when you're panicking about prison. The ones where you imagined me locking you

00:46:08up. I heard all of it. He stepped closer and caged me against the sofa with his body. I know

00:46:14what you

00:46:14are. A creature who survives on men's energy. That's it. What else do you want me to ask? He had

00:46:20known all

00:46:20along and still draped his jacket over me in the break room. Still protected me. Still put Victoria and

00:46:26her father behind bars. A thousand years of watching people's faces twist in fear, disgust, or greed when they

00:46:33learned the truth. And this man acted like it was nothing. My eyes stung. My toes burned.

00:46:38He's not right in the head. He's supposed to be allergic to women. He's supposed to run. But he's

00:46:45not afraid of me at all. Fine. If you're not scared then tonight I'm going to wreck you completely.

00:46:52You'll be the one begging. Ethan's cufflink slipped from his fingers.

00:46:56Jade. Shut up. I laughed through the tears and winked at him.

00:47:03Ethan didn't seem to care about the rumors. But the internet and his competitors did. Rival firms

00:47:08smelled blood and moved fast. Coordinating with the media and calling board members directly.

00:47:14Questioning whether Frost Capital could be trusted. That afternoon Ethan called an emergency board

00:47:19meeting. I sat in the corner officially just observing. The atmosphere was even worse than

00:47:24last time. Two old guard directors slammed the morning paper on the table and came out swinging.

00:47:29Mr. Frost Jade Summers has no background. All of Wall Street is laughing at us. Our partners are

00:47:37questioning if she's a corporate spy. You need to fire her immediately and hand her over for

00:47:43investigation. Ethan sat at the head of the table turning a pen slowly between his fingers. The air

00:47:49around him freezing cold. Done. His voice was flat. He didn't even look up. Mr. Frost watch your tone. This

00:47:56affects the entire firm. Ethan finally looked up. Eyes empty and cold. He slid two documents across

00:48:02the table. These are records of the internal accounts U2 leakered to a competitor. On the subject

00:48:07of spies, U2 seem far more experienced than my advisor. Sign the resignation and share transfer

00:48:11papers now. Or I call the financial crimes unit in five minutes. Your choice. Less than two minutes

00:48:17later. Both directors signed with shaking hands and left as fast as they could.

00:48:23The room fell deathly quiet. The remaining directors stared at the table like it was the

00:48:28most fascinating thing in the world. Ethan straightened his tie, signed the latest restructuring

00:48:33document with one smooth stroke and spoke calmly. Effective immediately, the senior director position

00:48:38is dissolved. Jade Summers is now my executive advisor, with authority equal to mine on all matters.

00:48:44I nearly jumped out of my seat in the corner. Okay, wow, that's a serious power move. But he fought

00:48:49that hard for me and didn't even ask if I wanted it. Sure, the position gives me better access to

00:48:53high quality energy, but I was planning to stay low key. This dominantic man. I want to wrap my legs

00:48:59around him and make him pay for it. Ethan went completely still at the head of the table. He set

00:49:04his pen down and looked straight at me across the room. You don't want it? Every director turned,

00:49:09completely confused about who he was talking to. My face burned. I forced a gracious smile.

00:49:15Of course I do, Mr. Frost. It's an honor to serve under you. The tiniest smirk touched

00:49:20the corner of Ethan's mouth before disappearing behind his usual cold mask.

00:49:25The new title called for a new look. That evening, Ethan took me to a black tie multinational finance

00:49:31dinner at one of Manhattan's most exclusive hotels. I ditched the conservative blazer and wore the red gown,

00:49:37deep V-neckline opened back, thigh-high slit. The moment we entered the ballroom, every head turned.

00:49:44The contrast between my bold dress and Ethan's cold, untouchable presence was electric.

00:49:49The whispers about my mysterious past followed us. Before I could even take a sip of wine,

00:49:54rival executives approached with sharp smiles.

00:49:57Congratulations on the rapid rise, Ms. Summers. We've all been wondering,

00:50:02what exactly is your background that managed to captivate our famously unavailable Mr. Frost?

00:50:08All eyes turned toward us. I twirled my wine glass slowly, keeping a perfect polite smile while my

00:50:14succubus senses scanned the table. This one looks like an overfed French rye, energy level two at best.

00:50:20Looking at him longer should count as emotional damage. The rest of the table is even worse.

00:50:27Combined, they don't come close to one finger of my man. Across the table, Ethan's fingers tightened

00:50:33slightly around his glass the moment I thought, my man. He was clearly fighting his smile.

00:50:40Ethan lifted his glass to hide the small indulgent smile tugging at his lips. His dark eyes found mine

00:50:47across the room, sending heat straight through me. Nothing to say, Mrs. Summers? Could the media be right,

00:50:55that you have no real history at all? I was about to handle it my way when Ethan set his

00:51:00glass down.

00:51:01The entire room went silent. He stood, walked around the table, and stopped directly behind me.

00:51:07In front of every major player in Manhattan, he laced his fingers through mine and held my hand tight.

00:51:13Does anyone here have a problem with what's mine? His voice was quiet but the word

00:51:18mine landed like a hammer. Hammer flashes exploded around us.

00:51:23Oh my god, that was the hottest thing I've seen in a thousand years. I'm in trouble. His energy is

00:51:32pouring into me and I need to drag him to the nearest bathroom right now.

00:51:45The next morning, photos of Ethan claiming me publicly spread like wildfire across Wall Street.

00:51:51Frost Capital's official account then posted a rare personal statement confirming I was his full

00:51:56representative for all business and personal matters. The spy stories vanished overnight.

00:52:01I sat in Ethan's executive chair reading the flood of congratulatory messages when he appeared in the

00:52:07doorway, jacket off.

00:52:14I stood and wrapped my arms around his neck, pressing myself against him. Crisis handled.

00:52:20Time to deliver on my promise to drain him completely and make him beg. Right here. Right now. The thought

00:52:27hit him hard. His eyes dropped to the slit in my skirt. His control finally broke. He pressed

00:52:33me against the door and locked it. You've been driving me crazy with those thoughts every day.

00:52:39If you try to run now, you're not leaving this room for three days.

00:52:44His lips moved down my collarbone while his hands worked urgently at the red dress.

00:52:49His raw energy washed over me in powerful waves. I was losing control fast.

00:52:54He was definitely holding back before. This is too much. I'm not going to survive. Wait.

00:52:59He's actually tearing the dress. We're in the executive suite. There are people right outside this door.

00:53:05Survival instinct kicked in hard. I yelped, ducked, and slipped out of his grip, scrambling behind the desk.

00:53:12Mr. Frost, please control yourself. It's still business hours. If Leo walks in, we're both finished.

00:53:20I crouched behind the desk trying to fix my ruined dress. Ethan stood against the door,

00:53:25chest heaving, staring at the spot where I had been. The vein in his temple pulsed.

00:53:29You spend every waking second fantasizing about this. But the moment it starts happening,

00:53:34you run faster than anyone I've ever seen. Are you torturing me on purpose?

00:53:40I stayed behind the desk and tried my most innocent look. I'm just being a responsible employee.

00:53:46Modern society values restraint and professionism. Okay, mostly I don't want to die of embarrassment.

00:53:53But what I just saw was terrifying. If we actually do this, he might break me. I'm genuinely not sure

00:53:59I'd survive. He heard everything. The panic and the helpless desire underneath. Some of the fury left

00:54:06his face. He exhaled, crossed the room, and gently pulled me out from behind the desk. Instead of

00:54:12continuing, he carefully fixed the broken strap of my dress with surprising patience.

00:54:17I stared at his profile and felt my heart do things it had no right to do.

00:54:21This man isn't fair. Top-tier energy is one thing, but this? I've been doing this for a thousand years.

00:54:26I cannot be falling for a human CEO. I refuse.

00:54:30His hands stilled. He looked down at me with quiet certainty.

00:54:34Tonight, my place in the hills. We're not in the office there.

00:54:37I never said I was going home with-

00:54:44You don't have a choice.

00:54:50That evening, the Maybach pulled up to Ethan's private estate in the hills. An extravagant

00:54:56glass and stone property with sweeping views. I stood in the grand marble entryway giving myself

00:55:01a pep talk. Keep it together. This is just strategic energy access, nothing more. I'm not getting attached

00:55:07to a repressed CEO. I'm a cold-blooded suck-a-boss here for the buffet. I'm not getting domesticated.

00:55:13My suitcase suddenly lifted. Ethan had taken off his jacket. He carried my heavy bag with one hand like

00:55:20it weighed nothing. Strategic resource acquisition?

00:55:22I short-circuited. I always forgot he could hear everything. Can you let me finish a thought before

00:55:27you respond? He walked a few steps, then stopped and turned around slowly. His dark eyes held mine

00:55:33with complete certainty. Jade. Just my name low, rough, and warm. Like he had been saying it for years.

00:55:39My heart dropped. It's over. I'm completely done for.

00:55:45The first week at the estate wasn't the chaos I expected. Every night Ethan pulled me against his

00:55:50burning body, but outside of that he showed surprising restraint. That only made my instincts

00:55:56scream louder that something was wrong. He had been coming home later and later, holding closed-door

00:56:01meetings with Leo in the study. Every time I approached the conversation died instantly.

00:56:06I leaned against the hallway wall, fruit plate in hand, spiraling.

00:56:11Does he think I'm too much trouble? Is he about to cut me loose at the next board meeting?

00:56:16Or has he already arranged with some secret lab to study me and lock me away in a cage?

00:56:22The study door opened. Ethan caught the full tail end of my spiral. His expression shifted rapidly. The

00:56:29vein in his temple throbbed. He took the plate from my hands, pulled me into the study and pressed me

00:56:34against the desk. Jade Summers. Out of all the thoughts that run through your head, is even one of them

00:56:42capable of trusting me?

00:56:48I looked sideways, avoiding his eyes. I'm just reading the signs. The internet already

00:56:53says I'm nobody. You were gonna cut me loose eventually. Ethan laughed without humor. His

00:56:58fingers tightened on my waist, forcing me to meet his gaze. Cut you loose? Take a look at this.

00:57:05He dropped a thick legal document in front of me. The title was clear. Irrevocable

00:57:10permanent declaration of asset consolidation and joint equity. He had transferred half of all his

00:57:16core assets, including Frost Capital, into my name permanently. I couldn't speak. He just handed me

00:57:22half his life behind my back? On Wall Street, where everything is calculated. He split his entire

00:57:29fortune with a woman who barely exists? Is he insane? My eyes filled with tears. Ethan gently wiped the

00:57:35tear from my cheek. The media can't find your past. That's their failure, not yours. If they say you

00:57:41have no history, then I'll give you the strongest one in America. Starting today, you're my full

00:57:45partner at Frost Capital and my future wife. I stared at the documents, speechless for a long time.

00:57:53He gave me half of everything just because I was scared? This man must have some kind of beautiful

00:57:58brain damage. No brain damage. I snapped my head up and glared at him. Can you stop finishing my

00:58:05thoughts? Then stop thinking them so loudly. I took a deep breath and laid everything out.

00:58:12Ethan, I'm not from this world. I crossed over a few months ago. The person in those old photos

00:58:16isn't me. Every record I have here is fake. You just split your billion dollar empire with someone who

00:58:21doesn't legally exist. Are you actually crazy? Are you done? He leaned back, completely calm. First,

00:58:26I don't care if your identity is real. Second, I didn't do this out of pity. I did it because

00:58:30I

00:58:30wanted to. Third, you crossed over. That makes this even simpler. He leaned forward, his presence

00:58:36overwhelming. If you have nothing in this world, then you need a home even more. Home? This pure

00:58:42golden energy man just offered a suckvo a home. I want to rip his clothes off and destroy him right

00:58:46now. We're just employer and employee. As of now, we're full partners and you're my fiance. I never

00:58:52agreed to that. And in your heart, you haven't refused either. I raised my hand in

00:58:55frustration and he caught my wrist mid-air, fingers scorching and precise. Jade, I don't care what

00:59:02abyss you came from. You're here now, on my turf. I'm not letting you starve and I'm not letting anyone

00:59:08lock you away. His dark eyes burned with raw possessiveness. This isn't a transaction. It's a

00:59:14choice I'm giving you. That night, I didn't sleep at all. My head was too loud. For a thousand years

00:59:22in

00:59:22the abyss, men were nothing more than quick snacks to me. When I crossed into this world,

00:59:27all I wanted was to steal enough premium energy to survive. Somehow I ended up owning half a billion

00:59:33dollar empire and becoming the fiancé of Manhattan's most celibate man, completely wrapped

00:59:38around his finger. Did I completely flip the Succopore survival manual upside down? I was supposed

00:59:44to be the one running circles around him. How did I end up the one getting reeled in with property

00:59:49deeds and warm milk? This is dangerous. The more I think about it, the hungrier I get.

00:59:54My legs are going weak again. I tossed on the silk sheets until two in the morning,

00:59:59then gave up and headed to the kitchen for water. The moment I pushed the door open, I froze.

01:00:04Ethan stood at the counter in a loose black silk robe, collar open, warming milk. Moonlight poured

01:00:09through the window, highlighting his collarbone and the hard lines of his chest. That rich,

01:00:13intoxicating wave of pure masculine energy slammed into me. Figured you couldn't sleep.

01:00:18He turned, dark eyes carrying a lazy heat and handed me the warm mug. I swallowed hard,

01:00:23fighting the urge to lunge at him and hesitated. You really don't mind? I'm not even human and I

01:00:30constantly narrate every dirty thought I have about you. No one here knew the old me. Doesn't that make

01:00:36me some kind of dangerous freak? Ethan leaned against the counter and let out a low, rough laugh.

01:00:40You think someone who's heard every greedy, filthy, calculating thought people have since

01:00:44Yashday has any room to judge a straightforward little suck of her? He stepped forward, took

01:00:49the mug from my hands and set it aside. You're the cleanest thing I've ever met. You think it,

01:00:55you say it, at least in your head. You're hungry, you admit you want to devour me. You're scared,

01:01:00you admit you're scared. Even when you're trying to get in bed, you're completely honest. No games,

01:01:04no lies. He bent down, lips brushing my ear, breath hot and heavy. Jade,

01:01:09for me, that's more than enough. Oh my god, this man who barely flirted in his life just said

01:01:15something ten times deadlier than any dirty line I could come up with. My legs are done. I want him

01:01:20to pin me against this counter and take me right here, right now. The next day at Frost Capital,

01:01:27everything looked normal on the surface. I sat in my new executive office, tugging at my collar,

01:01:32replaying his low, burning voice from the kitchen. How does a man made of ice become even more dangerous

01:01:37when he gets warm? Did he secretly take an advanced flirting masterclass? My phone buzzed.

01:01:43Embarrassment shot through me. I jumped up and stormed down to the executive suite in my heels.

01:01:49Ethan Frost, can you stop eavesdropping on my thoughts every single second?

01:01:53Ethan looked up from his contracts, leaned back in his chair, tie perfect, expression cool and

01:01:58untouchable. When you think things that loudly, it's impossible to ignore.

01:02:03I fell apart. What do you mean loudly? I was just doing an objective review of your body from last

01:02:09night. What if I think about you locking that door right now and pressing me down on this desk?

01:02:13Is that loud enough? Three seconds later, Ethan set down his pen. He stood,

01:02:18shrugged off his jacket and locked the door with a click.

01:02:26Yes. He walked toward me with calm certainty and planted both hands on the desk, caging me in.

01:02:31We either quiet down in there or we handle it right now. I forgot how to breathe. My body melted

01:02:37against him even as I tried to keep up the act. What do you mean, handle it? Ethan lowered his

01:02:43head

01:02:43until his lips nearly touched mine, voice rough. For example, finishing what we started in the kitchen

01:02:49last night. This man is flirting while his ears are turning bright red. That contrast is criminal.

01:02:54It should be illegal. Jade, don't look at me like that. I can hear you.

01:03:01That evening, Ethan drove me to a quiet private restaurant in Manhattan. Candlelight, expensive red

01:03:07wine, no staff hovering. I wore a tight black slip dress. He had loosened his tie and undone the top

01:03:14button of his shirt. Without the tie, he looks a little less like a monk, but that tiny hint of

01:03:19recklessness makes him even more dangerous. That throat, that collarbone, he's perfect.

01:03:24Ethan's fingers tightened around his wine glass. Thank you for the review. I bit into my stake and

01:03:30shot him a look. I was thinking that in my head. I heard every word. I gave up fighting and

01:03:36slid my

01:03:36hand under the table, squeezing his thigh through his pants. Since you have a direct line to my brain,

01:03:42can you at least mute it sometimes? Give a girl some privacy? Can't turn it off.

01:03:50He poured wine and brought the glass to my lips, eyes dark in the candlelight. But I can promise

01:03:56not to take every wild thought you have seriously. Oh yeah? Which ones don't you take seriously?

01:04:00Like when you tell yourself every night that you're going to get on top and drain me until I'm begging

01:04:05for mercy. I nearly choked on the wine. For the record, I meant every word of that. Ethan's hand froze,

01:04:10his eyes ignited with raw hunger. Is that so? Then starting tonight, I'm taking that thought

01:04:15very seriously. Is this man reverse trapping me right now? Yes. I laughed, equal parts delighted

01:04:23and furious and pinched his thigh hard. Ethan Frost, you're supposed to be Wall Street's coldest predator.

01:04:29When did you learn to talk like a damn romance hero? Ethan leaned across the table and caught my wrist,

01:04:34voice low and gravelly. I'm a businessman in the boardroom. But when it comes to you,

01:04:40I'm your man. And I plan on making every filthy idea in your head real. In bed.

01:04:45It's over. A thousand years of experience. And this human is about to take me down.

01:04:53The dinner lasted two full hours. By the end, my legs were weak from the constant wave of his energy.

01:04:59Ethan barely spoke, but his thumb kept tracing slow circles over my knuckles. Proper on the surface,

01:05:05but full of promise underneath. I set down my fork and stared at his handsome, cold face.

01:05:17day one. The second you walked into my office. Day one? All you knew was that I had a very

01:05:24active

01:05:25inner mana law shock. It was more than that. He leaned back, exuding pure power. When you walked in,

01:05:34something about you felt different. I've sensed greed and corruption in people since I was a child.

01:05:41But with you, it was bold, yes. Your thoughts about me were wild. But your desire was pure.

01:05:50It wasn't until you screamed internally that you were a succubus that I confirmed it.

01:05:56So you knew I was some kind of energy-hungry creature who wanted to devour you and you still

01:06:02hired me? What kind of risk management is that? Ethan suddenly leaned across the table,

01:06:07gripped my jaw, and tilted my face up, eyes burning.

01:06:10Most desire I see is full of lie and power plays. Yours was honest. You wanted me because your

01:06:17instincts said so. That makes you more real than anyone who's ever walked through my door.

01:06:23Help. I spend all day mentally trying to get into this man's pants and he calls that clean and pure?

01:06:30My values are fine. I've just finally found the real thing.

01:06:38When we left the restaurant, a light rain had just stopped. Ethan draped his jacket over my shoulders

01:06:44without a word and took my hand, fingers tightly laced. We walked slowly down the quiet sidewalk.

01:06:49This might be the first time it's just us. No reporters. No drama. Just him walking with me

01:06:56like a normal boyfriend.

01:06:59What's the M for?

01:07:01I heard everything you just thought.

01:07:04I laughed and leaned into him, going soft against his shoulder.

01:07:09Tell me, Mr. CEO, you've really never dated before? No Harris's or models ever caught your eye?

01:07:14No.

01:07:14Then how are you so good at all of this? You talk like you came with built-in charm software.

01:07:18Ethan stopped under a streetlamp. He cradled the back of my head and tilted my face up.

01:07:22Because with you, I don't need experience. The second I hear your thoughts, I just know what to do.

01:07:28He kissed my forehead, then the bridge of my nose stopping just at the corner of my mouth.

01:07:34Let's go home.

01:07:37He said home. Not the estate. Home.

01:07:44My position as executive advisor grew stronger every day. The old board members now avoided eye

01:07:50contact when I passed. In public, Ethan remained the icy, lethal CO. But the second the office door

01:07:56locked, all that restrained power came rushing out for me alone. Like when he brought me warm milk

01:08:01late at night and just watched me with that hungry look. Like when I got caught staring at his body

01:08:06in

01:08:06a meeting and he abruptly ended a billion dollar call. Like waking up on the office couch wrapped

01:08:11in his jacket and his arms. How does he do it? Ice god in public and completely addictive behind

01:08:16closed doors. This breaks every law of biology. Ethan looked up from his reports. A faint glint of

01:08:22amusement in his eyes. Because you spend all day loudly complimenting my body in your head.

01:08:27My face burned. I do not.

01:08:31You just finished planning exactly which position you want to use tonight. To drain me completely.

01:08:37I gave up pretending. I walked over, straddled his lap and hooked a finger in his shirt.

01:08:42Since you hear everything anyway, this weekend. You and me at a normal movie theater. No suit.

01:08:48No Leo. No meetings. A real date. You in?

01:08:52Ethan's hand slid slowly under my skirt, resting on my inner thigh.

01:08:56Yes. As long as you don't run halfway through, I'll go anywhere with you.

01:09:05That Saturday, Ethan showed up in a black turtleneck and long coat, looking dangerously casual.

01:09:10Every woman nearby stared. I wrapped my arm around his, claiming him.

01:09:14Look at you, out of your suit and still causing chaos. Hearts are breaking left and right.

01:09:19The corner of Ethan's mouth curved slightly.

01:09:21I never cared before. But now I only wait for one person.

01:09:27I'm done. This ice prince saying sweet things so sincerely is more lethal than anything from the abyss.

01:09:33In the dark theater, his energy rolled over me in waves.

01:09:37Halfway through the movie, I put my hand over his.

01:09:40He turned his palm and locked our fingers together, tight and burning.

01:09:43By the time the lights came up, we were both breathing harder.

01:09:47In the lobby, I teased him lightly.

01:09:49Your palm was sweaty the whole time.

01:09:53Your body temperature was running higher than mine.

01:09:56That's because you had a death grip on my hand.

01:09:59Ethan pulled me out of the crowd, bent down, and brushed his lips against my ear.

01:10:02That's because you never once thought about letting go.

01:10:08On the ride home, Ethan and I sat in the back with our hands still locked.

01:10:12Leo drove in professional silence.

01:10:16Ethan, hypothetically, if there was no energy connection between us,

01:10:21would you still have kept me that first day?

01:10:24Yes.

01:10:24No hesitation.

01:10:26The moment you walked in, I saw your eyes.

01:10:30There was no calculation.

01:10:33No interest in power or money.

01:10:35You just looked at me.

01:10:38Like I was a person.

01:10:40He pulled me closer.

01:10:41In this city,

01:10:44no one

01:10:46has ever looked at me like that.

01:10:49My heart skipped.

01:10:50Even the man who owns Manhattan.

01:10:54has been starving for something real.

01:10:59Leo stiffened visibly in the front seat.

01:11:01Leo heard nothing.

01:11:02Correct, sir.

01:11:03I heard nothing.

01:11:05In fact, I'm already drafting my resignation.

01:11:08You're not resigning.

01:11:10I'll increase your equity another half point.

01:11:12I buried my face in Ethan's chest and laughed until I shut...

01:11:17Late that night at the estate,

01:11:19Ethan found me on the sofa scrolling news.

01:11:21Don't waste energy on that garbage.

01:11:24He took my phone and pulled me against him.

01:11:35Ethan hooked an arm around my waist and held me tight.

01:11:39The resonance isn't a curse.

01:11:41You're not draining me.

01:11:43It goes both ways.

01:11:45I need you too.

01:11:47You gave me something I never had.

01:11:49The feeling of being truly alive.

01:11:52You're scared I'll run.

01:11:54To protect you.

01:11:56Yes.

01:11:57I'm scared.

01:11:59He admitted it straight, no shields.

01:12:01You were ready to disappear.

01:12:02Alone to keep me safe.

01:12:05Jade,

01:12:05I don't need protection.

01:12:07I need you to stay.

01:12:09Right here with me.

01:12:11I wrapped my arms around his neck

01:12:12and bit down on his collarbone,

01:12:14leaving clear marks.

01:12:15Fine.

01:12:16If you want me to stay,

01:12:18promise me one thing.

01:12:21If the resonance ever acts off,

01:12:23you tell me immediately.

01:12:25No hiding.

01:12:26Ethan looked at the marks,

01:12:27then at my eyes and pulled me closer.

01:12:30Deal.

01:12:30I promise.

01:12:33The next afternoon,

01:12:35I walked into Ethan's office

01:12:36during a serious international video call.

01:12:39He hit mute,

01:12:40waved me in,

01:12:41and pulled me into the chair beside him.

01:12:43He continued the call in fluent,

01:12:44ruthless German while I watched him work.

01:12:48Who would believe it?

01:12:50The hardest man in America

01:12:52is secretly this earnest guy

01:12:55who doesn't know how to say he loves me

01:12:57without looking lost.

01:13:00Ethan missed half a beat in his sentence,

01:13:02then recovered with icy precision

01:13:04and ended the call.

01:13:05He pulled off his tie

01:13:06and stood towering over me.

01:13:09Jade,

01:13:10you're getting bolder every day.

01:13:13What exactly did you just call me?

01:13:16I poked his leg with my foot innocently.

01:13:18I didn't say anything?

01:13:20His hand shot under the desk

01:13:21and gripped my ankle.

01:13:23You called me an emotionally stempid idiot

01:13:26who can't express himself.

01:13:28That was in my head.

01:13:29You can't punish thought crimes.

01:13:31Ethan leaned in,

01:13:31breath hot against my lips.

01:13:33You're right.

01:13:34I'm not great at this in front of others.

01:13:37So tell me, Miss Advisor,

01:13:38where and how exactly

01:13:40do you want to give me

01:13:40that hands-on lesson?

01:13:42The most repressed man in the world

01:13:43just asked me to teach him

01:13:45how to express feelings

01:13:46and suggested positions.

01:13:48Nothing's wrong.

01:13:50You showed up

01:13:51and all my old rules

01:13:52went out the window.

01:13:55Later that afternoon,

01:13:57Leo came into my office

01:13:58looking nervous.

01:14:01Miss Summers,

01:14:02there's something I need to tell you,

01:14:03even though Mr. Frost

01:14:04told me not to.

01:14:05What's he been doing

01:14:06behind my back?

01:14:08He's been using every contact

01:14:10the Frost family has,

01:14:11top legal teams,

01:14:12private networks,

01:14:13even Washington,

01:14:14to research ways

01:14:15for non-human entities

01:14:16to gain legal identities.

01:14:18He's building you

01:14:19a complete,

01:14:20legitimate identity

01:14:21in this world.

01:14:22No more hiding.

01:14:23A real one.

01:14:26My throat tightened.

01:14:27He's been doing this quietly

01:14:29since I moved in.

01:14:31He never planned for me

01:14:32to stay in the shadows.

01:14:33Leo left.

01:14:35I stared out

01:14:36at the glittering

01:14:36Manhattan skyline,

01:14:38eyes blurring with tears.

01:14:40My phone buzzed.

01:14:45Not that many.

01:14:47It's the necessary investment

01:14:49of a husband.

01:14:50I laughed and cried

01:14:51at the same time.

01:14:52Can you please

01:14:53turn off the telepathy

01:14:54for five minutes,

01:14:55you compulsive eavesdropper?

01:14:57Business hours are over.

01:14:59Come home.

01:14:59I'll walk you through

01:15:00everything in the penthouse.

01:15:04That night,

01:15:05Ethan took me

01:15:05to the new rooftop terrace

01:15:06overlooking the city.

01:15:08He handed me

01:15:09a glass of wine

01:15:10and stood at the railing

01:15:11in his white shirt.

01:15:12Where do you want to start,

01:15:14Mrs. Partner?

01:15:15I let my leg brush

01:15:16against his

01:15:16through the slit

01:15:17in my dress.

01:15:18Leo said you're building me

01:15:20a real identity?

01:15:21Independent?

01:15:22Legal?

01:15:23Do you actually think

01:15:24that's possible?

01:15:25On Wall Street,

01:15:26when I decide

01:15:27I want something,

01:15:29impossible doesn't exist.

01:15:31He stepped close,

01:15:32trapping me

01:15:32against the railing.

01:15:34The European trust structure

01:15:35is done.

01:15:35You'll be recognized

01:15:36as the heir

01:15:37of an ancient private dynasty.

01:15:38It's complicated,

01:15:39but it will hold.

01:15:40Why go this far?

01:15:42Hiding in your assets

01:15:43would have been safer for you.

01:15:44Because I'm done

01:15:45watching you think

01:15:46you belong in the shadows.

01:15:48And I'm not letting you

01:15:49keep one eye on the exit

01:15:51because you're scared

01:15:52of hurting me.

01:15:53He tucked my hair back,

01:15:55then pressed his fingers

01:15:56firmly against my inner thigh.

01:15:58That highest seat

01:15:59has always been yours.

01:16:00Not out of pity.

01:16:02You earned it.

01:16:03I'm completely done for.

01:16:04No succubus could resist

01:16:06a cold, celibate man

01:16:07who decides to love

01:16:08this obsessively.

01:16:09I dropped my glass,

01:16:11slid my hands into his collar

01:16:12and straddled his waist.

01:16:14Since your plan

01:16:15is this perfect,

01:16:15I think we've earned

01:16:16some very high returns.

01:16:18Up here,

01:16:18with no one to interrupt us,

01:16:20don't you think?

01:16:23That night on the rooftop,

01:16:25we lost ourselves

01:16:26and each other

01:16:26under the Manhattan skyline.

01:16:28Straddling him,

01:16:29taking everything he gave,

01:16:31I told him between

01:16:32broken breaths

01:16:32about my life in the abyss

01:16:34and how scared I'd been

01:16:35when I first crossed over.

01:16:36Ethan held my waist,

01:16:38eyes blazing.

01:16:39You're really not scared?

01:16:41In the abyss,

01:16:43all I thought about

01:16:44was draining men

01:16:46like you completely.

01:16:48He drove deeper,

01:16:50drawing a helpless moan

01:16:51from me.

01:16:52You came from there,

01:16:53but now you're in my bed.

01:16:55By normal logic,

01:16:56shouldn't you have

01:16:57called a priest

01:16:59to exorcite me?

01:17:00Ethan gave a rare,

01:17:01wicked smile.

01:17:02Send you back

01:17:03so you can put

01:17:04your hands on

01:17:05some other man's body?

01:17:07Not a chance.

01:17:09He kissed my collarbone.

01:17:13It's complicated here.

01:17:16But you chose

01:17:17my company

01:17:18as your buffet.

01:17:19That means

01:17:20for the rest of your life,

01:17:21you only eat

01:17:22at my table.

01:17:24After a thousand

01:17:25years of hunger,

01:17:27this feels like

01:17:28like the luckiest

01:17:28detour in existence.

01:17:30Ethan went still,

01:17:31then laughed

01:17:32and gave my ass

01:17:32a sharp smack.

01:17:34In the middle of this,

01:17:35the best you can think

01:17:37is cosmically lucky.

01:17:39Try I'm the lucky one,

01:17:4130 years old,

01:17:42and I finally found

01:17:45my little monster.

01:17:49Weeks later,

01:17:50the dust on Wall Street

01:17:51finally settled.

01:17:52Leo and the legal team

01:17:53completely dismantled

01:17:54the Cross Foundation's network.

01:17:56Warren got 12 years.

01:17:58Victoria got three years

01:17:59for defamation

01:18:00and illegal hacking.

01:18:01She wouldn't show

01:18:02her face in New York again.

01:18:03I watched the footage

01:18:04of her sentencing

01:18:05with zero emotion.

01:18:07Natural consequences.

01:18:09If she'd focused

01:18:10on doing her job

01:18:11instead of trying

01:18:12to destroy me,

01:18:13she'd still have a career.

01:18:15Speaking of the sofa,

01:18:16the leather is nice.

01:18:19But last week

01:18:20when Ethan had me

01:18:21pinned here

01:18:23and used his tide...

01:18:24Across the room,

01:18:25Ethan's pen nearly tore

01:18:26through the contract.

01:18:28He looked up slowly,

01:18:29eyes blazing

01:18:30with barely contained fire.

01:18:31Jade Summers,

01:18:34you've replayed

01:18:35last week on that sofa

01:18:36at least 10 times today.

01:18:37I tucked my dress lower

01:18:39and looked at him innocently

01:18:40while turning up

01:18:41the heat in my thoughts.

01:18:42So, quality control?

01:18:46And if I'm also thinking

01:18:48about a live demonstration

01:18:50right now on this sofa

01:18:53with the door locked.

01:18:54Ethan took a slow breath,

01:18:56stood and started

01:18:57unbuttoning his shirt,

01:18:58revealing hard lines of muscle.

01:19:00Then he drew his belt free.

01:19:03You are the highest level

01:19:05of trouble this office

01:19:07has ever seen.

01:19:11But since you've been sending

01:19:13that invitation all afternoon,

01:19:16if you even think about

01:19:18hiding under the desk again,

01:19:21you won't like

01:19:22what happens next.

01:19:24It's when the most controlled

01:19:26man in the world

01:19:26turns dangerous

01:19:27with a belt and that look.

01:19:28That's not a man anymore.

01:19:30That's a natural disaster.

01:19:32He pushed me down

01:19:33onto the sofa,

01:19:34pinned my wrists

01:19:34and wrapped the belt

01:19:35around them.

01:19:36He bit my lower lip,

01:19:37voice wrecked.

01:19:38I heard that.

01:19:40Focus.

01:19:42Three months later,

01:19:44in deep autumn,

01:19:45the first snow fell

01:19:46on Manhattan.

01:19:47Ethan had bought

01:19:48a new penthouse

01:19:49with a breathtaking view

01:19:50over the city.

01:19:51I stood at the floor

01:19:52to ceiling windows

01:19:53when a hot, bare hand

01:19:54pulled me back

01:19:55against his solid body.

01:19:56New place.

01:19:58Do you like it?

01:19:58I love it.

01:20:00So, Mr. CEO,

01:20:01you bought the penthouse

01:20:02with this exact view

01:20:04just to recreate

01:20:04our first real night together?

01:20:06Ethan laughed low,

01:20:07the sound vibrating

01:20:08through me.

01:20:08Not a recreation.

01:20:09I want every day

01:20:10you spend in this world

01:20:11to have this view.

01:20:12Your city and mine,

01:20:14together.

01:20:15I turned,

01:20:15let my hand slide down

01:20:16his abs

01:20:17and hooked into his robe.

01:20:18One thing though,

01:20:19you've gone public with me.

01:20:21Split your fortune,

01:20:23told the world

01:20:24I'm yours

01:20:26and you still haven't

01:20:28given me

01:20:28one proper engagement ring.

01:20:30On human timelines,

01:20:31that's a violation.

01:20:32That bulletproof asset

01:20:33declaration

01:20:34outrangs any diamond

01:20:35for a Sukfa

01:20:37who only cares

01:20:38about energy.

01:20:39Does it really matter?

01:20:40I thought stubbornly.

01:20:42Probably not.

01:20:43Because whether it's

01:20:44the assets

01:20:45or that insane body

01:20:46of his,

01:20:47I decided long ago

01:20:48I'm keeping both.

01:20:50For life.

01:20:51No returns.

01:20:52Heard every word.

01:20:53The last of his

01:20:55cool distance melted.

01:20:56He pulled out

01:20:56a small velvet box.

01:20:58Inside was a simple,

01:20:59elegant,

01:20:59antique silver band.

01:21:01Had it ready

01:21:01since the day

01:21:02you moved in.

01:21:03Last night,

01:21:03after you wore me out

01:21:04and fell asleep,

01:21:05I measured your finger.

01:21:06He slid the ring

01:21:07onto my finger

01:21:07with complete ownership.

01:21:09Perfect fit.

01:21:11Of course it is.

01:21:12This man is precise

01:21:13about everything.

01:21:14For the first time

01:21:15in forever,

01:21:16I didn't run.

01:21:17I rose on my toes

01:21:18and kissed him

01:21:19deep, real

01:21:19and full of

01:21:20everything I felt.

01:21:21Ethan Frost,

01:21:23thank you

01:21:24for finding

01:21:24a stray little monster

01:21:26and giving her

01:21:26a real reason to stay.

01:21:30Thank you

01:21:31for falling out

01:21:31of whatever clack

01:21:32in the universe

01:21:33you came from

01:21:33and landing in my office.

01:21:35He cupped the back

01:21:36of my head

01:21:37and kissed me back,

01:21:38deep and warm.

01:21:40Outside,

01:21:40snow fell quietly

01:21:41over the glittering city.

01:21:43After countless years

01:21:44of hunger,

01:21:45my soul had finally

01:21:46found home.
