Transcript

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

00:00:49and raw 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

00:01:01they'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

00:01:25could find, every button fastened tight to my throat, and walked into Frost Capital, one of

00:01:30Manhattan'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

00:01:47even 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

00:02:07every 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 and

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

00:02:45Jade Summers. You're hired.

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

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

00:03:02source of energy I had ever felt. I had barely stepped out of his office when Victoria, the senior director,

00:03:08cornered me in the hallway. She looked at me like I was something filthy that had just crawled in off

00:03:13the street. She marched up in her sharp heels and shoved my shoulder hard. Button that collar all the

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

00:03:25you

00:03:25understand me? I let myself stumble back and quickly put on my most innocent, obedient face. Of course,

00:03:31director. I'll be completely professional. But inside, my succubus side was burning with contempt.

00:03:37Throwing myself at him? Please. You look at him like you own him. You have no idea how good it

00:03:42feels

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

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

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

00:03:57few feet 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

00:04:45close. 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

00:05:09him

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 that I completely missed the face beside me. My heel caught the edge of it and rolled.

00:05:19I 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

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

00:05:45I'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 midair. For one terrifying second, the whole office went silent. Then his

00:06:15large 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 dangerous.

00:06:31His voice dropped low. His voice was low against my ear, and that thick, impossible bulge pressing

00:06:41against me was impossible to ignore. My succubus control was hanging by a thread. This man was

00:06:47plain dirty. And the worst part was, I was almost sure he knew it. I swallowed hard, my whole body

00:06:53going

00:06:53soft against him. My arms slid around his neck before my brain could stop them. I leaned in, lips parting,

00:06:59the tip of my tongue just barely brushing out. One more inch. Just one. Then the memory hit me like

00:07:05a fire alarm. HR dragging me out of my last job in front of everyone. Security watching me like I

00:07:11was

00:07:11dangerous. The 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 office

00:07:23in New York. And this was Ethan Frost, one of the most powerful men in the country. Throwing myself at

00:07:28him was not a cute little workplace mistake. This could destroy my life. All my succubus confidence

00:07:34disappeared in an instant. Oh. I came here to survive, not to end up in prison. I shoved him

00:07:40back with a sudden burst of strength, slipped out of his arms, and dropped hard onto the floor.

00:07:45Mr. Frost, I'm so sorry. I swear I'm a respectable woman. I just slipped. That's all. I wasn't trying

00:07:52anything. Please don't call the police. I'm not some kind of predator. I fumbled with the door,

00:07:57yanked it open, and ran. But as the door swung shut behind me, I caught one last glimpse through

00:08:03the narrow crack. Then, the famously celibate, untouchable ice prince, was still standing exactly

00:08:09where I had left him. His shirt was wrinkled. His breathing was rough. His hands were empty,

00:08:15like he had not expected me to escape. And the look in his eyes was not anger. It was hunger.

00:08:20The 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

00:08:40exorcism. The second I turned around, Victoria was walking straight toward me with a full basin

00:08:45of ice water in her hands. He stopped right in front of me, a small, vicious smile tugging at

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

00:08:57Ice 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. Seriously? She wore that under a white blower? That is not exactly office appropriate.

00:09:13I'm not surprised. She walked into Mr. Frost's office for her interview and came out hired,

00:09:17connect the dots. And now she's acting shocked, people are staring? Please, you don't dress like

00:09:22that by accident. Victoria stood at the front of the crowd, savoring every second of my humiliation.

00:09:28Her voice was sweet, but every word was meant to cut. Everyone seeing this? Our new secretary shows

00:09:33up on day one with lingerie under a white blouse and expects us to believe she is here for spreadsheets?

00:09:38I hugged my soaked blouse to my chest, shivering. This is Frost Capital, not some club bathroom.

00:09:43I'm reporting you to HR myself. Enjoy your last day. I lowered my eyes, looking weak and humiliated.

00:09:49Inside I was burning. Get me fired? Go ahead and try. If Ethan sees me like this,

00:09:53he won't be able to look away for days. This body was made to drive a man like him wild.

00:09:57I could wrap

00:09:58myself around him and drain every last drop he has. You're nothing compared to that.

00:10:01Victoria took my silence for fear and reached for my wet collar. What, nothing to say now? You were so

00:10:07good at playing innocent earlier. Come on, let everyone see what kind of professional you really are.

00:10:12The crowd suddenly went silent. What is going on here?

00:10:17One low, cutting voice was enough to freeze the entire break room. Everyone fell silent and stepped

00:10:23aside at once. Ethan walked in. His gaze landed on my soaked, almost transparent blouse. For one long

00:10:30second, he said nothing. His jaw tightened and his throat moved once hard. Those eyes usually cold

00:10:37enough to keep the whole office at a distance, darken the moment they saw me. Mr. Frost,

00:10:42look at her. I don't know what kind of stunt she pulled to end up like this, but she's been

00:10:47standing here, putting herself on display and trying to make everyone uncomfortable.

00:10:51Ethan did not even look at her. He shrugged off his jacket, still warm and carrying that clean

00:10:57cedar scent, then stepped in front of me and wrapped it around my shoulders. The jacket swallowed me almost

00:11:02completely, cutting off every stare in the room. The second his warmth touched my skin, that rich,

00:11:08dangerous energy of his rolled over me. My knees nearly gave out right there. Without a word he

00:11:13took my wrist and led me out of the break room. No one dared to stop him. The moment we

00:11:18reached his

00:11:19office, he pushed the door open with one hard motion and pulled me inside. Then he locked it.

00:11:24The click of the lock went straight through me. Every bit of suppressed succubus instinct I had been

00:11:29trying to bury came roaring back to life. A locked door. Just the two of us. Oh, I know exactly

00:11:34where this

00:11:35is going. He is going to push me against that floor to clearing window, tear off this ruined blouse,

00:11:40use that tie to trap my wrists, and punish me until I forget how to stand. Yes daddy. Punish me

00:11:45like I'm

00:11:45a bad girl. Ethan stopped. His back went rigid. For a moment, the office was so quiet I could hear

00:11:52my

00:11:52own heartbeat. Then a vein jumped at his temple and he took one slow breath like he was trying very

00:11:57hard

00:11:57not to lose control. When he turned around, his expression had gone dangerously still. The next second

00:12:03he crossed the room, caught me by the waist, and backed me against the window. His hands landed

00:12:08on either side of my head, caging me in completely. The glass was cold against my back. He was burning

00:12:14hot in front of me. His voice came out low, restrained, and rough around the edges.

00:12:19What 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

00:12:42my jaw and tilted my face up. His breath brushed over my lips, warm and dangerously uneven. He did

00:12:48not answer me. Instead his other hand went to his tie. He pulled it loose in one slow, deliberate motion

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

00:12:59he undid the top two buttons of his shirt. That collarbone. That shadow beneath the open fabric.

00:13:06That hard, controlled body he kept locked away under expensive suits every single day. He stepped

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

00:13:16open

00:13:17collar and swallowed hard. My traitorous hand started rising on its own, reaching for that warm,

00:13:22firm chest like I had no survival instincts at all. Screw it, he started this. Just touching him

00:13:28would be worth it. My fingertips were one breath away from touching him. Then the alarm in my head

00:13:40screamed. Flashing lights. Cold handcuffs. Iron bars. A full criminal case with my name on it. Getting

00:13:47fired for touching a co-worker's abs was bad enough. Putting my hands on the CEO of Frost Capital,

00:13:53there was a life sentence in heels. Self-preservation kicked in. I snatched my hand back,

00:13:58ducked under his arm, and slipped away. Mr. Frost, my eyes are closed. I didn't see anything.

00:14:04Please keep your shirt on. I have absolutely zero inappropriate thoughts about you.

00:14:09I spun toward the door and got my hand on the lock. But before I could turn it,

00:14:13a 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

00:14:24against my back, and his breath brushed over my ear. Zero inappropriate thoughts.

00:14:29His voice was low and rough, with an edge that left no room to hide. His fingers found my jaw

00:14:35from

00:14:35behind and turned my head, forcing my gaze back to the open stretch of his shirt and everything it

00:14:40revealed. How disappointing. I have plenty of dirty thoughts about you, Jade Summers.

00:14:48That line, spoken from that close, nearly made my succubus tail come out. I stood trapped between

00:14:54the door and his heat, completely unable to move. Just when I thought he was about to forget every last

00:14:59bit of restraint and do something about it right there in his office, the pressure suddenly lifted.

00:15:04He reached into the pocket of the jacket wrapped around me and slipped in a black and gold invitation

00:15:09card, along with a handwritten note. Tomorrow night's finance charity gala. You're attending as

00:15:14my executive advisor. Go to this address today and get a gown. By the time I made it back to

00:15:19my desk,

00:15:19the note was still warm in my palm. The next evening, a black Maybach pulled up smoothly in front of

00:15:25an

00:15:25elite boutique on Fifth Avenue. The store manager had clearly been briefed in advance and met us at the

00:15:30door with a polished, professional smile. Miss Summers, right this way, to the fitting area. She looped the

00:15:37tape around my chest, then drew it in at my waist. A second later, she gasped.

00:15:41Good lord, Miss Summers. These measurements are unreal. This kind of figure comes along once in a

00:15:48lifetime. She immediately pulled out a red gown, deep V-neckline, opened back, a slit that started

00:15:54high on the thigh. I recommend this one. Wear this tonight, and you'll be the best thing that ever

00:16:01happened, to Frost Capital's public image. I stared at that gorgeous, barely there piece of fabric,

00:16:06and my succubus instinct sat straight up. With this body in that dress? Absolutely lethal. So that is

00:16:13why he kept looking at me like that yesterday. He has been wanting to see me in this all along.

00:16:20Fine, I'll wear it to the gala and watch his eyes drop straight to my neckline. That will be entirely

00:16:26his fault. Then the memory of being trapped against the door last night came back in full detail,

00:16:31and my survival instinct seized the wheel. Low profile. Boring. See. If he lost control in front

00:16:38of everyone at the gala, I would lose the job, and then I would starve. I backed away from the

00:16:43dress like

00:16:43it had personally threatened me, both hands clamped to my collar. No. Absolutely not. High neck, long

00:16:50sleeves, ankle length if possible. I am a professional. The words had barely left my mouth when a quiet,

00:16:56unmistakably amused laugh came from just outside the heavy fitting room curtain. Ethan had appeared

00:17:01on the other side, perfectly dressed, perfectly composed, and somehow right there. He glanced at

00:17:06the manager, his expression unreadable. Give us a moment. The manager blinked, bowed, and quickly slipped

00:17:14out. Ethan walked into the fitting area and picked up the red gown. The heavy curtain swept shut behind

00:17:20him. Now it was just the two of us in a very small space. The air seemed to thicken. He

00:17:25moved toward

00:17:26me one step at a time, his tall frame carrying the full weight of his presence, until my back pressed

00:17:31against the full-length mirror. Mr. Frost, what are you doing? I swallowed hard. My palms were damp.

00:17:38Ethan set the gown aside and picked up the measuring tape. Drop straight to your neckline? I leaned

00:17:44unsteadily against the mirror and stared at him. How was he hearing every single thought in real

00:17:49time, even the ones from yesterday? He did not give me a second to figure it out. He spread his

00:17:54arms with the tape between them and wrapped it around my waist, pulling me in from behind in a way

00:17:58that felt far too close to an embrace. His energy washed over me all at once and my legs nearly

00:18:04gave

00:18:04out. Help. He is so close. He is so warm. This is going to drown me. Those shoulders, that waist,

00:18:14right here, within reach. I want to push him back against this mirror, tear that suit off him,

00:18:21and make him lose every bit of that perfect control. Ethan's breathing changed. He dipped his head,

00:18:28his lips only a breath from my ear, and his voice came out low enough to make my knees weaken.

00:18:33Jade, let me find out, for myself, exactly how extraordinary you are.

00:18:41His hand moved slowly up my back. The other cradled the back of my head. His face tilted closer,

00:18:47and his lips were one second away from mine. One second before contact, the coward in me took over.

00:18:53I dropped, tried to slip under his arm, and aimed for the narrow gap beside him. This time,

00:18:58he did not let me get away. His arm caught my waist and pulled me back hard against him. For

00:19:03a second,

00:19:04my feet left the floor and my back hit the mirror with a low, solid sound. His chest was pressed

00:19:09against

00:19:10mine with no space between us at all. Those dark eyes were done pretending. Every bit of restraint he

00:19:15had been wearing like a second suit was gone. His voice came out rough and absolute.

00:19:21stop thinking about ruining me, and then running the second things get real. His grip tightened at my

00:19:27waist, firm 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

00:20:03Victoria appeared with a glass of wine and a sweet, innocent smile.

00:20:07Ms. Summers, Mr. Frost left a backup document in the storage room at the end of the hall.

00:20:14Be useful and go get it, for him. I was lightheaded with hunger and too distracted to think clearly,

00:20:20so I went. The moment I stepped through the old wooden door, the lock clicked shut from the outside.

00:20:25Heels clicked away into silence. Victoria, obviously. The storage room had no windows and no ventilation.

00:20:32It was dark, cramped, and sweltering, like I had been sealed inside an oven.

00:20:37In that kind of heat with my body already starving, my succubus instincts kicked into full overdrive.

00:20:43The hunger rose from somewhere deep inside me burning through my veins, turning my legs weak.

00:20:48All I could think about was the fitting room. Ethan's arms around my waist.

00:20:52His breath at my ear. That clean, intoxicating energy pouring off him and sinking into my skin.

00:20:58I just need him to hold me right now. That's it. Just hold me.

00:21:03If he came through that door and completely took me over, I don't know how much longer I can hold

00:21:08back.

00:21:09The lock turned again. The dark silhouette slipped inside and shut the door behind him.

00:21:15Then he locked it again. My breath caught.

00:21:17How long are you going? Keep driving me crazy like this, Jade.

00:21:21Mr. Frost? How did you get in here? I didn't do anything. I didn't even say anything.

00:21:25You didn't have to. Every single word.

00:21:27He moved closer. That overwhelming heat rolled over me, rich and controlled and dangerous.

00:21:33His hand pressed to the wall beside my head, and he backed me into it with his body without ever

00:21:38fully touching where he should not.

00:21:40In the dark, he leaned down until his nose almost brushed mine. His voice was low, rough, and far too

00:21:46steady.

00:21:47Then he repeated my own thoughts back to me, word for word, calm and merciless.

00:21:51I couldn't stop imagining Ethan's thick cock pushing against my pussy.

00:21:56Jade Summers, you've been undressing me in your head every day since the interview. Did you really think I couldn't

00:22:02hear you?

00:22:03From the moment you walked into my office on day one, every single word, I heard all of it.

00:22:10His voice was low and steady in the dark, but it carried a weight that made my knees want to

00:22:15give out.

00:22:16I stood there completely still, my mind blank.

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

00:22:27Every single one.

00:22:28He answered like he was reading from a file, his lips almost brushing my ear.

00:22:33Including?

00:22:35I want to tear him apart.

00:22:37My face burned with humiliation.

00:22:39I wanted the floor to open up and swallow me straight back to the abyss.

00:22:43A thousand years of dignity, gone.

00:22:46Destroyed in one storage.

00:22:48Heard that too.

00:22:49His breath scorched my skin as he pressed closer.

00:22:51Through the thin fabric of his dress pants,

00:22:54I 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.

00:23:02The wall was already pressed against my spine.

00:23:05Still trying to run from me?

00:23:07There was something dangerous in his voice now.

00:23:09Not anger exactly.

00:23:11Something darker.

00:23:12Something tightly leashed.

00:23:14I wasn't running.

00:23:15I just, I mean...

00:23:17I could not form a proper sentence.

00:23:19My mouth was denying everything while my thoughts were already betraying me.

00:23:23I don't want to run.

00:23:25I'm just scared.

00:23:27Scared of jail.

00:23:28Scared of losing this job.

00:23:30Scared I'll actually let him do whatever he wants.

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

00:23:36Jail?

00:23:37That is what you're scared of?

00:23:38His fingers caught my jaw and tipped my chin up.

00:23:41Those eyes were always so cold.

00:23:43Not now.

00:23:44Now they looked like they could burn me alive.

00:23:46You weren't scared when you were imagining my pants on the floor.

00:23:50And taking everything I have.

00:23:53My breath caught.

00:23:55That was private.

00:23:56Not to me.

00:23:57His thumb brushed along my jaw.

00:23:59Slow enough to make my entire body tighten.

00:24:02Jade, listen to me.

00:24:04His voice dropped lower.

00:24:05I'm not calling the police.

00:24:07I swallowed hard.

00:24:09I'm not firing you.

00:24:11He leaned closer.

00:24:12Every word deliberate.

00:24:15I'm done holding back.

00:24:17I'm going to give you every filthy thing you've been begging for.

00:24:22My breathing fell apart completely.

00:24:24Every word out of his mouth landed like a hook.

00:24:27Catching on every nerve in my body.

00:24:29Give me what I want.

00:24:30Healy just said that.

00:24:32Does he even understand what he's offering?

00:24:34I do.

00:24:35He dipped his head, the tip of his nose brushing mine.

00:24:38His voice rough and low.

00:24:39From the day you walked into my office, I knew exactly what was going through your head.

00:24:43I didn't send you away.

00:24:45I didn't let you go.

00:24:46I kept pulling you closer on purpose.

00:24:48His hand settled firmly on my waist.

00:24:50Strong but not forcing.

00:24:52Like he was giving me one final chance to back out.

00:24:54Ask yourself why.

00:24:56I opened my mouth, but no words came out.

00:24:59Why?

00:25:00Unless you actually want me just as badly?

00:25:02There it is.

00:25:03Then he pulled me in and kissed me hard.

00:25:05It was not tentative.

00:25:06It was not polite.

00:25:07It was not the careful, controlled kiss of a man asking permission with every breath.

00:25:12It was hunger finally breaking through restraint.

00:25:15Weeks of cold composure cracked open all at once, and the man underneath was anything but calm.

00:25:20One hand held the back of my head, keeping me from retreating.

00:25:23The other traced my waist, his touch leaving heat everywhere it landed.

00:25:27I could not breathe.

00:25:28My hands found his shoulders on their own.

00:25:30Fingers digging into the expensive fabric of his suit jacket.

00:25:34This man cannot be real.

00:25:35No one this controlled should kiss like this.

00:25:38Ethan pulled back half an inch, his mouth still brushing mine.

00:25:41Stay with me.

00:25:42Then he kissed me again.

00:25:44Deeper this time.

00:25:45Slower.

00:25:46More deliberate.

00:25:47Like he had decided I was done running, and he intended to make sure I remembered it.

00:25:52The storage room felt hotter by the second.

00:25:54His hand found the slit of my red dress and slipped beneath the fabric, his fingers grazing the inside of

00:25:59my thigh.

00:26:00The sound escaped before I could stop it.

00:26:03My whole body went soft against him.

00:26:05Ethan's breathing turned rougher.

00:26:07His hand moved higher, careful but devastating, stopping just short of the place that would have ruined every last bit

00:26:13of my self-control.

00:26:14Don't stop.

00:26:15Please don't stop now.

00:26:16His fingers tightened slightly against my thigh.

00:26:19I heard that.

00:26:20His hand was just about to move again when the storage room door exploded inward from a single kick.

00:26:27Victoria's voice rang down the entire corridor.

00:26:30Everyone, get over here.

00:26:31I found her.

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

00:26:37Security, get them out here now.

00:26:39Victoria had brought security guards, senior executives, and half the gala with her.

00:26:44Her face was twisted with triumph, like she had been waiting all night to turn one private mistake into a

00:26:50public scandal.

00:26:51This is exactly what I warned you about.

00:26:53She is a liability.

00:26:54She disappears during work hours, drags some man into a restricted area, and puts the entire company's reputation at risk.

00:27:01The flashlight swept wildly across the room.

00:27:03Then the beam landed on us.

00:27:05On Ethan.

00:27:06On me pressed against the wall in his arms.

00:27:09Victoria's scream died in her throat.

00:27:12Ethan's jacket came down over my shoulders, heavy with cedar and body heat, covering me completely.

00:27:18He pulled me back against his chest, shielding me from every stare in the doorway.

00:27:22His shirt was rumpled.

00:27:23His collar hung open.

00:27:25His belt was half undone.

00:27:27And those eyes, usually distant and untouchable, were burning now with something dark enough to make every person at that

00:27:34door step back.

00:27:35He turned his head and swept the room with one look.

00:27:37Who the hell gave you permission to kick down my door?

00:27:40Mr. Mr. Frost!

00:27:43Her legs gave out.

00:27:45She dropped straight to the floor, her face white as paper.

00:27:48She had spent the whole night setting a trap for me.

00:27:51She had dragged half the company here to watch my downfall.

00:27:54But 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.

00:28:02And for once I did not even try to hide my satisfaction.

00:28:06Well, surprise Victoria.

00:28:08You tried to ruin my night.

00:28:09And now he's about to ruin, ruin, your entire career.

00:28:13Honestly I could not have planned it better myself.

00:28:15Ethan's arm tightened possessively around my waist.

00:28:18He looked down at the woman collapsed on the floor with total indifference.

00:28:22His voice cold and final.

00:28:24He looked toward Leo, who had just pushed through the crowd.

00:28:27Take her to accounting.

00:28:28Have her office cleared before midnight.

00:28:30Then make sure she never sets foot inside Frost Capital again.

00:28:35The corridor was so quiet you could hear champagne bubbles popping in the next room.

00:28:40Victoria was still screaming as security dragged her away.

00:28:44Mr. Frost!

00:28:45You can't fire me over this!

00:28:48That little slut seduced you!

00:28:50You're not thinking clearly because of her!

00:28:53Her voice faded toward the elevator bank, then disappeared.

00:28:57Ethan did not even look in her direction.

00:28:59He bent down, scooped me up over his shoulder like I weighed nothing and started walking.

00:29:03Mr. Frost!

00:29:04Put me down!

00:29:06I can walk!

00:29:07I hung upside down against his back, half-heartedly patting his shoulder blades.

00:29:11He didn't stop.

00:29:13He carried me straight through the executive corridor and up to the penthouse suite at the

00:29:17top of the building.

00:29:18The suite door flew open with one powerful kick.

00:29:21Then it slammed shut and locked.

00:29:23The world spun, and I landed on the enormous soft bed, somewhere between being thrown and

00:29:28placed.

00:29:29Before I could even sit up, Ethan came down over me.

00:29:31All that intense, controlled power aimed straight at my body.

00:29:34His tie was already in his hand.

00:29:36He dropped it to the floor.

00:29:38Both palms pressed into the mattress on either side of my head, and those dark eyes had completely

00:29:43given up any pretense of being cold.

00:29:45We got interrupted earlier.

00:29:47His voice was rough and low, his breath hot against my face.

00:29:50We were way past pretending.

00:29:52He could hear every thought in my head.

00:29:54There was nothing left to hide.

00:29:56Something inside me finally broke.

00:29:58I reached up, grabbed his collar, and looked him straight in the eyes.

00:30:02We barely got started.

00:30:05You've been listening to every dirty thought.

00:30:08I've had this whole time, haven't you?

00:30:11I've been holding back for weeks.

00:30:14Tonight I'm done holding back!

00:30:16I let one finger trace slowly down the center of his chest.

00:30:20Something dark shifted in his eyes.

00:30:22The last bit of restraint in him snapped.

00:30:25He repeated my own thoughts back to me, his voice low and deliberate.

00:30:29That body looks incredible.

00:30:31I could ride him into the ground.

00:30:35Jade, if you say stop tonight, we're not stopping.

00:30:38He pulled me into a deep, demanding kiss.

00:30:40The man everyone knew as cold, composed, and completely uninterested in women turned out to be absolutely devastating the moment

00:30:47the door closed.

00:30:50That night, I learned exactly what happens when a man with that much self-control finally lets it snap.

00:30:55He was relentless.

00:30:56Thorough.

00:30:57Like a man who had spent years starving in the desert and had finally found the one thing he wanted.

00:31:02Once he had me he had no intention of letting go.

00:31:04He found every weak spot I had and used them against me again and again, until I was clinging to

00:31:09him and begging him to slow down.

00:31:11I'm a succubus.

00:31:12I don't beg.

00:31:14And yet here I was.

00:31:15By morning, pale light spilled through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

00:31:19I opened my eyes feeling like I had survived a wreck.

00:31:22Every part of me ached in ways that were far too specific to ignore.

00:31:26Cold, restrained, and completely uninterested in women?

00:31:29What?

00:31:30What a joke.

00:31:31I am a thousand-year-old suffogos who came to this world to feed on men, and last night I

00:31:37was the one who had to tap out.

00:31:39The humiliation is unreal.

00:31:41I had barely finished my internal rant when a strong, warm arm wrapped around me from behind and pulled me

00:31:46back against his solid chest.

00:31:48Complaining about me again?

00:31:49His voice was low, rough, and far too relaxed for a man who had ruined my dignity only a few

00:31:54hours ago.

00:31:56His lips brushed the back of my neck.

00:31:58Sounds like last night still wasn't enough.

00:32:00My whole body went tense.

00:32:02Ethan gave a quiet laugh and was already rolling me back toward him when every phone on the nightstand lit

00:32:07up at once.

00:32:08The mood snapped.

00:32:09In half a second, Ethan went from lazy and satisfied to ice cold.

00:32:13The temperature in the room seemed to drop 10 degrees.

00:32:16I leaned over to look.

00:32:18The financial gossip pages and social media had exploded.

00:32:21Frost Capital's new female assistant has a history of workplace sexual harassment.

00:32:26Woman accused of touching multiple male co-workers at previous firm, nearly arrested.

00:32:31The article included a clear surveillance photo.

00:32:34Me.

00:32:35My very first day in this world.

00:32:37Hand slipped inside a co-worker's shirt.

00:32:39Right below it was the official termination notice from my old job.

00:32:43The evidence looked damning.

00:32:45I went completely rigid.

00:32:47Victoria's final parting gift.

00:32:48She must have leaked it on her way out.

00:32:51Ethan stared at the screenshot.

00:32:53A vein throbbing in his temple.

00:32:55His grip on the phone so tight his knuckles turned white.

00:32:58He turned to me, his eyes burning with a mix of fury and something far more dangerous.

00:33:03You were terrified of the police.

00:33:05Scared I'd report you.

00:33:07That's because you actually almost got arrested.

00:33:11For this, isn't it?

00:33:13My stomach dropped.

00:33:14Mr. Frost, please hear me out.

00:33:16I had just arrived in this world.

00:33:18I was so starved I was about to lose my physical form.

00:33:21I only needed a little energy to survive.

00:33:23And that guy was barely worth anything.

00:33:25His energy was like a 3 out of 10.

00:33:26I barely touched his hand and HR was already dragging me out.

00:33:30He was a sad little street stack.

00:33:31You are a full 5 bag of course meal.

00:33:34Why the hell would I even look at anyone else after tasting you?

00:33:37The murderous look on Ethan's face faltered for just a second.

00:33:40The jealousy in his eyes didn't fade.

00:33:42If anything, it burned even hotter.

00:33:44He let out a sharp, humorless laugh and moved toward me.

00:33:48So what you're saying is I'm not satisfying you enough and you're already thinking about

00:33:51going somewhere else?

00:33:52How many men's abs have you touched exactly?

00:33:54Before I could figure out how to handle a jealous, possessive CO, his personal line rang.

00:33:59Leo'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 floor conference room with six other

00:34:13board members.

00:34:14They've seen the morning news.

00:34:16They're claiming you're protecting someone with a sexual harassment record and it's destroying the firm's reputation.

00:34:25Warren is demanding you hand over operational control right now.

00:34:28They've also called the police.

00:34:30Officers are already waiting in the lobby.

00:34:34The jealousy in Ethan's eyes turned ice cold in an instant.

00:34:38He threw back the covers and stood up, grabbing a fresh white shirt from the wardrobe.

00:34:43He buttoned it with slow, precise movements, each one cold and calculated.

00:34:47His hands paused on his tie.

00:34:49He glanced over his shoulder at me, his voice sharp.

00:34:52Get dressed.

00:34:53Come deal with the mess you started.

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

00:35:03Thirty minutes later, the top floor conference room at Frost Capital.

00:35:06The moment we pushed open the doors, the entire room fell silent.

00:35:10Board members lined both sides of the long table, watching with barely hidden anticipation.

00:35:15Warren sat at the center, his pampered face arranged in smug confidence.

00:35:19Victoria was right beside her father.

00:35:22The second she saw me, she shot out of her chair.

00:35:24There she is.

00:35:25That shameless woman has the nerve to show her face here after everything she's done.

00:35:30She slammed a stack of surveillance screenshots onto the table.

00:35:33Look at these.

00:35:34Your precious new assistant is a predator.

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

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

00:35:46The room buzzed with whispers.

00:35:47Every eye in the room turned on me like knives.

00:35:50Ethan sat at the head of the table, expression completely blank, fingers tapping slowly against the surface.

00:35:57The silence was suffocating.

00:35:58The board members took it as a sign that Ethan was about to fold and cut me loose.

00:36:03Victoria clearly read it the same way.

00:36:05She stormed around the table in her heels and came straight for me, arm already swinging.

00:36:09You worthless little tramp!

00:36:11Let me do this company a favor!

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

00:36:19While everyone watched in shock, I caught Victoria's wrist mid-swing with a grip like steel.

00:36:24A thousand years as a succubus meant my strength had nothing to do with how much energy I'd taken lately.

00:36:30He was no match for me.

00:36:31I twisted her wrist and shoved her away hard.

00:36:34She stumbled backward in her heels and crashed hard onto the conference room floor.

00:36:38You just attacked someone in front of the entire board?

00:36:42I brushed my hands off and looked down at Victoria with a slow, cold smile.

00:36:46You want to dig up the past?

00:36:49Fine. Let's dig deep.

00:36:50I walked to the table, picked up one of the surveillance photos, and held it up for everyone to see.

00:36:56Yes, that's me.

00:36:58I touched a co-worker. I got fired for it.

00:37:01We were both single and I accepted the consequences.

00:37:04Is that really worth calling the police?

00:37:06I dropped the photo directly onto Victoria's face.

00:37:09What's more interesting is you, Victoria.

00:37:12Last night, you paid a hacker to illegally break into my former employer's servers,

00:37:18stole that footage, and used company money to buy trending spots, and bought traffic.

00:37:23I 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.

00:37:36You want to talk about who deserves prison time?

00:37:39Start with yourself.

00:37:43Victoria's face went from gray to deathly white.

00:37:45She was shaking so hard she could barely stay upright.

00:37:49You're making all of this up! None of that is real!

00:37:53I kept my expression calm while internally I was counting down.

00:37:56Three, two, one.

00:37:58Babe, your turn.

00:38:00I just laid every card I have on the table.

00:38:02If you don't back me up right now, tonight I'm gonna find a delivery guy to feed on,

00:38:06and you can deal with the consequences.

00:38:08Though honestly, even when he's just sitting there looking serious,

00:38:11why does he have to be so damn attractive?

00:38:13I want to crawl into his lap, and kiss him until he loses his voice.

00:38:18Ethan's fingers, which had been steadily tapping the table, suddenly stopped.

00:38:22A flash of something crossed his face.

00:38:24He shot me a quick look that clearly said,

00:38:27Control those thoughts right now.

00:38:28His ear had gone noticeably red.

00:38:31He looked away, regained his composure, and gave Leo a small nod.

00:38:35Leo stepped forward and pressed a button.

00:38:37The large screen came alive,

00:38:39showing every transaction Victoria had made the night before,

00:38:42followed by a confession video Leo had clearly secured himself.

00:38:46The room erupted.

00:38:47Warren watched his daughter collapse and finally dropped his smug smile.

00:38:51But this was a man who had survived decades on Wall Street.

00:38:54He recovered quickly.

00:38:56Mr. Frost, impulsive decisions have consequences at your age.

00:39:00Victoria made a mistake and I'll handle her privately.

00:39:03But don't forget, that $100 billion cross-border acquisition, I brookered it.

00:39:06The other party trusts me and only me.

00:39:08He lifted his chin arrogantly.

00:39:09You move against us today and that deal vanishes immediately.

00:39:15I leaned against the table and studied the old man's self-satisfied face.

00:39:19Something twisted in my stomach.

00:39:21I closed my eyes and fully opened the succubus ability I had been holding back all week.

00:39:26Great.

00:39:26Plus.

00:39:27Hidden secrets.

00:39:28They came to me like a clear scent.

00:39:30Within seconds, Warren's entire dirty hand was laid out in my mind like an open book.

00:39:35$100 billion deal, please, sweetheart.

00:39:38This man has three mistresses, four offshore properties in the Cayman Islands and Kyprus,

00:39:44paid for with laundered money from this very deal.

00:39:48The shell companies are even named after his mistress's initials.

00:39:52He's actually that stupid.

00:39:54He moved $40 million into one of them just this month.

00:39:58At 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.

00:40:06He slowly raised his head.

00:40:08The way he looked at Warren now was pure predator.

00:40:10The look of someone who already knew every card on the table and found the whole game boring.

00:40:15The corner of his mouth curved slightly.

00:40:17The $100 billion acquisition, Warren?

00:40:19You really think I was only looking into your daughter last night?

00:40:22The confidence drained from Warren's face degree by degree.

00:40:25Mr. Frost?

00:40:26Ethan pressed the remote without another word.

00:40:28The screen switched to a full forensic audit report.

00:40:31The critical findings highlighted in stark red.

00:40:34Page after page of transactions.

00:40:37Layered offshore shell company charts.

00:40:39Every thread leading back to one name.

00:40:41Warren.

00:40:42Ethan rose slowly from his chair.

00:40:44Then slammed a thick stack of documents onto the conference table.

00:40:47Papers flew everywhere.

00:40:49Five years.

00:40:51$400 million.

00:40:52Every transaction, every count, every shell company named after your mistress.

00:40:56It's all right here, Warren.

00:40:57With this kind of evidence staring you in the face, you don't even get to beg for mercy.

00:41:02The 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

00:41:10father-daughter disaster.

00:41:11Warren's legs gave out.

00:41:13His face turned ash white as he collapsed back into his chair, lips trembling, unable to speak a single

00:41:19word.

00:41:19I leaned against the table and watched Ethan backlit, spine straight, completely dismantling

00:41:25the old fox without breaking a sweat.

00:41:27I couldn't help myself.

00:41:29God, he's unreal.

00:41:30My knees are gone.

00:41:32There it is.

00:41:33My Secubia instincts are firing hard.

00:41:36I want to throw him down on this conference table right now and ride him until he can't think

00:41:41straight.

00:41:41Ethan's posture stiffened slightly.

00:41:43At an angle no one else could see, the tips of his ears turned a deep red.

00:41:48He swung his head around and shot me a sharp look that said, control yourself right now.

00:41:52I stuck my tongue out at him.

00:41:54Just then, the conference room doors burst open.

00:41:57Several officers from the financial crimes unit walked in, faces grim and determined.

00:42:01Warren, you're under arrest for embezzlement and large-scale money laundering.

00:42:05Come with us.

00:42:06The 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.

00:42:14But two officers pinned her down and cuffed her anyway.

00:42:17The pair who had been untouchable minutes earlier were dragged out of the room like common

00:42:21criminals.

00:42:22Dead silence fell over the room.

00:42:24The remaining directors were sweating through their suits, barely daring to breathe.

00:42:28Ethan swept the room with a cold, measured stare.

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

00:42:35Every director shook their heads frantically.

00:42:38No problem.

00:42:39Absolutely none.

00:42:40We're done here.

00:42:41In under 10 seconds, every director bolted, clutching their files and nearly tripping over

00:42:46each other to get out.

00:42:47The moment the door clicked shut, Ethan grabbed the remote and locked the conference room doors.

00:42:52The floor-to-ceiling blinds descended slowly, cutting off every bit of the Manhattan skyline.

00:42:58The room went dark.

00:42:59I was reaching for my glass of water, still riding the adrenaline when Ethan crossed the room

00:43:05in long, powerful strides.

00:43:06His presence hit me before he even touched me.

00:43:09That rich cedar scent mixed with raw heat.

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

00:43:16Warren and Victoria's bill is paid.

00:43:18Now it's time to settle ours.

00:43:20He leaned down, eyes locking onto mine with intense focus.

00:43:24Answer me.

00:43:25How many guys' abs have you actually touched?

00:43:27That one with the energy score of three, was it really worth it?

00:43:30Worth it?

00:43:31Please.

00:43:32Nothing compares to that insane waste of his.

00:43:35He's in a completely different league and he knows it.

00:43:37That was all it took.

00:43:38Whatever control he had left snapped.

00:43:41He grabbed me by the waist, lifted me off the ground and set me down in the middle of

00:43:44the paper-covered conference table.

00:43:57He set me down in the middle of the paper-covered conference table.

00:44:01An anonymous investigative report landed at a media office somewhere in New York.

00:44:06The document was clear.

00:44:08Jade Summers.

00:44:09No social records.

00:44:10No enrollment history.

00:44:12No employment trail before five years ago.

00:44:14Appeared out of nowhere.

00:44:16Suspected false identity.

00:44:18Possible corporate infiltrator.

00:44:21The heat from the conference room had barely faded when the story exploded the next morning.

00:44:26A major feature titled Frost Capital's Executive Advisor.

00:44:30Who is she really?

00:44:31Tore through every financial outlet.

00:44:33The piece questioned my complete lack of digital footprint or work history before five years ago.

00:44:38I sat at my desk staring at the blazing red headline.

00:44:41Palm sweating.

00:44:42This was bad.

00:44:43My five years ago, belonged to someone else's body in another life.

00:44:47There was no paper trail because there couldn't be one.

00:44:51Around me, the interns and junior analysts had dropped all deference.

00:44:55I 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.

00:45:04He didn't look at anyone else.

00:45:05He caught my wrist and pulled me straight into his private lounge.

00:45:09The 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.

00:45:16Here it comes.

00:45:16He's going to ask who I really am and how I appeared out of thin air.

00:45:21What do I even say?

00:45:22That I'm a suckabor who needs men's intimate energy to survive?

00:45:26Is he going to think I'm a monster and try to lock me away?

00:45:29My mind was spiraling into disaster scenarios.

00:45:32Across from me, a vein ticked in Ethan's temple.

00:45:36He finally took a slow breath and set the report down.

00:45:38What do you want for dinner tonight?

00:45:40I froze completely.

00:45:43Every lie I had prepared got stuck in my throat.

00:45:46I just stared at him.

00:45:47You're not going to ask?

00:45:49The whole internet is calling me a spy or a sleeper agent?

00:45:53Ethan stood and straightened his cuffs with that same calm composure.

00:45:56I'm curious.

00:45:57Then why aren't you-

00:45:58Because I've already heard every single thought.

00:46:01He met my eyes, patient and certain.

00:46:03The ones when you can't sleep.

00:46:05The ones when you're panicking about prison.

00:46:07The ones where you imagine me locking you up.

00:46:09I heard all of it.

00:46:10He stepped closer and caged me against the sofa with his body.

00:46:13I know what you are.

00:46:15A creature who survives on men's energy.

00:46:17That's it.

00:46:18What else do you want me to ask?

00:46:20He had known all along and still draped his jacket over me in the break room.

00:46:24Still protected me.

00:46:25Still put Victoria and her father behind bars.

00:46:28A thousand years of watching people's faces twist in fear, disgust, or greed when they learned the truth.

00:46:34And this man acted like it was nothing.

00:46:36My eyes stung.

00:46:37My toes burned.

00:46:39He's not right in the head.

00:46:40He's supposed to be allergic to women.

00:46:42He's supposed to run.

00:46:44But he's not afraid of me at all.

00:46:47Fine.

00:46:48If you're not scared, then tonight I'm going to wreck you completely.

00:46:52You'll be the one begging.

00:46:54Ethan's cufflink slipped from his fingers.

00:46:56Jade.

00:46:58Shut up.

00:46:59I laughed through the tears and winked at him.

00:47:03Ethan didn't seem to care about the rumors.

00:47:05But the internet and his competitors did.

00:47:08Rival firms smelled blood and moved fast.

00:47:10Coordinating with the media and calling board members directly.

00:47:14Questioning whether Frost Capital could be trusted.

00:47:17That afternoon, Ethan called an emergency board meeting.

00:47:20I sat in the corner officially just observing.

00:47:22The atmosphere was even worse than last time.

00:47:25Two old guard directors slammed the morning paper on the table and came out swinging.

00:47:29Mr. Frost, Jade Summers has no background.

00:47:33All of Wall Street is laughing at us.

00:47:36Our partners are questioning if she's a corporate spy.

00:47:40You need to fire her immediately and hand her over for investigation.

00:47:45Ethan sat at the head of the table, turning a pen slowly between his fingers, the air around him freezing

00:47:50cold.

00:47:51Done.

00:47:52His voice was flat.

00:47:53He didn't even look up.

00:47:54Mr. Frost, watch your tone.

00:47:56This affects the entire firm.

00:47:57Ethan finally looked up, eyes empty and cold.

00:48:00He slid two documents across the table.

00:48:03These are records of the internal accounts you two leakered to a competitor.

00:48:06On the subject of spies, you two seem far more experienced than my advisor.

00:48:10Sign the resignation and share transfer papers now, or I call the financial crimes unit in five minutes.

00:48:16Your choice.

00:48:17Less than two minutes later, both directors signed with shaking hands and left as fast as they could.

00:48:23The room fell deathly quiet.

00:48:25The remaining directors stared at the table like it was the most fascinating thing in the world.

00:48:30Ethan straightened his tie, signed the latest restructuring document with one smooth stroke and spoke calmly.

00:48:36Effective immediately, the senior director position is dissolved.

00:48:40Jade 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.

00:48:47Okay, wow, that's a serious power move.

00:48:49But he fought that hard for me and didn't even ask if I wanted it.

00:48:52Sure, the position gives me better access to high quality energy, but I was planning to stay low-key.

00:48:57This dominantic man.

00:48:58I want to wrap my legs around him and make him pay for it.

00:49:01Ethan went completely still at the head of the table.

00:49:04He set his pen down and looked straight at me across the room.

00:49:07You don't want it?

00:49:08Every director turned, completely confused about who he was talking to.

00:49:12My face burned.

00:49:13I forced a gracious smile.

00:49:15Of course I do, Mr. Frost.

00:49:17It's an honor to serve under you.

00:49:19The tiniest smirk touched the corner of Ethan's mouth before disappearing behind his usual cold mask.

00:49:26The new title called for a new look.

00:49:28That evening, Ethan took me to a black-tie multinational finance dinner at one of Manhattan's most exclusive hotels.

00:49:35I ditched the conservative blazer and wore the red gown.

00:49:38Deep V neckline opened back, thigh high slit.

00:49:41The 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.

00:49:52Before I could even take a sip of wine, rival executives approached with sharp smiles.

00:49:57Congratulations on the rapid rise, Ms. Summers.

00:50:01We've all been wondering, what exactly is your background that managed to captivate our famously unavailable Mr. Frost?

00:50:08All eyes turned toward us.

00:50:10I twirled my wine glass slowly, keeping a perfect polite smile while my succubus senses scanned the table.

00:50:16This one looks like an overfed French rye, energy level 2 at best.

00:50:21Looking at him longer should count as emotional damage.

00:50:24The rest of the table is even worse.

00:50:27Combined, they don't come close to one finger of my man.

00:50:31Across the table, Ethan's fingers tightened slightly around his glass the moment I thought, my man.

00:50:37He was clearly fighting a smile.

00:50:41Ethan lifted his glass to hide the small indulgent smile tugging at his lips.

00:50:45His dark eyes found mine across the room, sending heat straight through me.

00:50:51Nothing to say, Mrs. Summers?

00:50:54Could the media be right, that you have no real history at all?

00:50:58I was about to handle it my way when Ethan set his glass down.

00:51:01The entire room went silent.

00:51:04He 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?

00:51:16His voice was quiet, but the word mine landed like a hammer.

00:51:21Hammer flashes exploded around us.

00:51:24Oh my god, that was the hottest thing I've seen in a thousand years.

00:51:29I'm in trouble.

00:51:30His energy is pouring into me, and I need to drag him to the nearest bathroom right now.

00:51:36Ethan's grip tightened.

00:51:38He leaned down, voice low against my ear.

00:51:41Jade, enough.

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 representative for all business and

00:51:58personal matters.

00:51:59The spy stories vanished overnight.

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

00:52:11Comfortable in that chair?

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

00:52:19Crisis handled.

00:52:21Time to deliver on my promise to drain him completely and make him beg.

00:52:25Right here.

00:52:26Right now.

00:52:27The thought hit him hard.

00:52:28His eyes dropped to the slit in my skirt.

00:52:31His control finally broke.

00:52:33He pressed me against the door and locked it.

00:52:36You'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.

00:52:52I was losing control fast.

00:52:54He was definitely holding back before.

00:52:56This is too much.

00:52:57I'm not going to survive.

00:52:59Wait.

00:53:00He's actually tearing the dress.

00:53:02We're in the executive suite.

00:53:03There are people right outside this door.

00:53:05Survival instinct kicked in hard.

00:53:07I yelped, ducked, and slipped out of his grip, scrambling behind the desk.

00:53:13Mr. Frost, please control yourself.

00:53:15It's still business hours.

00:53:17If Leo walks in, we're both finished.

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

00:53:24Ethan stood against the door, chest heaving, staring at the spot where I had been.

00:53:28The vein in his temple pulsed.

00:53:29You spend every waking second fantasizing about this.

00:53:32But the moment it starts happening, you run faster than anyone I've ever seen.

00:53:36Are you torturing me on purpose?

00:53:41I stayed behind the desk and tried my most innocent look.

00:53:44I'm just being a responsible employee.

00:53:47Modern society values restraint and professionism.

00:53:50Okay, mostly I don't want to die of embarrassment.

00:53:53But what I just saw was terrifying.

00:53:55If we actually do this, he might break me.

00:53:58I'm genuinely not sure I'd survive.

00:54:01He heard everything.

00:54:02The panic and the helpless desire underneath.

00:54:05Some of the fury left his face.

00:54:07He exhaled, crossed the room and gently pulled me out from behind the desk.

00:54:11Instead of continuing, 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.

00:54:22Top-tier energy is one thing, but this?

00:54:24I've been doing this for a thousand years.

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

00:54:29I refuse.

00:54:30His hands stilled.

00:54:31He looked down at me with quiet certainty.

00:54:34Tonight, my place in the hills.

00:54:36We're not in the office there.

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

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

00:54:51That evening, the Maybach pulled up to Ethan's private estate in the hills.

00:54:55An extravagant glass and stone property with sweeping views.

00:54:58I stood in the grand marble entryway, giving myself a pep talk.

00:55:02Keep it together.

00:55:03This is just strategic energy access, nothing more.

00:55:06I'm not getting attached to a repressed CEO.

00:55:09I'm a cold-blooded suck-a-boss here for the buffet.

00:55:12I'm not getting domesticated.

00:55:14My suitcase suddenly lifted.

00:55:16Ethan had taken off his jacket.

00:55:18He carried my heavy bag with one hand like it weighed nothing.

00:55:21Strategic resource acquisition?

00:55:22I short-circuited.

00:55:24I always forgot he could hear everything.

00:55:26Can you let me finish a thought before you respond?

00:55:28He walked a few steps, then stopped and turned around slowly.

00:55:32His dark eyes held mine with complete certainty.

00:55:34Jade.

00:55:35Just my name low, rough, and warm.

00:55:37Like he had been saying it for years.

00:55:39My heart dropped.

00:55:41It's over.

00:55:42I'm completely done for.

00:55:45The first week at the estate wasn't the chaos I expected.

00:55:49Every night Ethan pulled me against his burning body, but outside of that he showed surprising

00:55:53restraint.

00:55:54That only made my instincts scream louder that something was wrong.

00:55:58He had been coming home later and later, holding closed-door meetings with Leo in the

00:56:02study.

00:56:03Every 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?

00:56:13Is 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.

00:56:24Ethan caught the full tail end of my spiral.

00:56:27His expression shifted rapidly.

00:56:29The vein in his temple throbbed.

00:56:31He took the plate from my hands, pulled me into the study, and pressed me against the

00:56:35desk.

00:56:36Jade Summers.

00:56:39Out of all the thoughts that run through your head, is even one of them capable of trusting

00:56:43me?

00:56:49I looked sideways, avoiding his eyes.

00:56:51I'm just reading the signs.

00:56:52The internet already says I'm nobody.

00:56:55You were gonna cut me loose eventually.

00:56:57Ethan laughed without humor.

00:56:58His fingers tightened on my waist, forcing me to meet his gaze.

00:57:02Cut you loose?

00:57:03Take a look at this.

00:57:05He dropped a thick legal document in front of me.

00:57:08The title was clear.

00:57:10Irrevocable Permanent Declaration of Asset Consolidation and Joint Equity.

00:57:14He had transferred half of all his core assets, including Frost Capital, into my name permanently.

00:57:19I couldn't speak.

00:57:21He just handed me half his life behind my back?

00:57:25On Wall Street, where everything is calculated.

00:57:28He split his entire fortune with a woman who barely exists?

00:57:32Is he insane?

00:57:33My eyes filled with tears.

00:57:34Ethan gently wiped the tear from my cheek.

00:57:37The media can't find your past.

00:57:39That's their failure, not yours.

00:57:40If they say you have no history, then I'll give you the strongest one in America.

00:57:44Starting today, you're my full partner at Frost Capital and my future wife.

00:57:49I stared at the documents, speechless for a long time.

00:57:53He gave me half of everything just because I was scared?

00:57:57This man must have some kind of beautiful brain damage.

00:58:00No brain damage.

00:58:01I snapped my head up and glared at him.

00:58:03Can you stop finishing my thoughts?

00:58:07Then stop thinking them so loudly.

00:58:09I took a deep breath and laid everything out.

00:58:12Ethan, I'm not from this world.

00:58:14I crossed over a few months ago.

00:58:15The person in those old photos isn't me.

00:58:17Every record I have here is fake.

00:58:19You just split your billion dollar empire with someone who doesn't legally exist?

00:58:22Are you actually crazy?

00:58:23Are you done?

00:58:24He leaned back, completely calm.

00:58:26First, I don't care if your identity is real.

00:58:28Second, I didn't do this out of pity.

00:58:30I did it because I wanted to.

00:58:32Third, you crossed over.

00:58:33That makes this even simpler.

00:58:35He leaned forward, his presence overwhelming.

00:58:37If you have nothing in this world, then you need a home even more.

00:58:41Home?

00:58:41This pure golden energy man just offered a suckvo a home.

00:58:44I want to rip his clothes off and destroy him right now.

00:58:47We're just employer and employee.

00:58:49As of now, we're full partners.

00:58:50And you're my fiancé.

00:58:52I never agreed to that.

00:58:53And in your heart, you haven't refused either.

00:58:55I raised my hand in frustration and he caught my wrist midair, fingers scorching and precise.

00:58:59Jade, I don't care what abyss you came from.

00:59:03You're here now, on my turf.

00:59:06I'm not letting you starve and I'm not letting anyone lock you away.

00:59:09His dark eyes burned with raw possessiveness.

00:59:12This isn't a transaction.

00:59:14It's a choice I'm giving you.

00:59:18That night, I didn't sleep at all.

00:59:20My head was too loud.

00:59:21For a thousand years in the abyss, men were nothing more than quick snacks to me.

00:59:26When I crossed into this world, all I wanted was to steal enough premium energy to survive.

00:59:31Somehow I ended up owning half a billion dollar empire and becoming the fiancé of Manhattan's

00:59:36most celibate man, completely wrapped around his finger.

00:59:39Did I completely flip the sucker poor survival manual upside down?

00:59:43I was supposed to be the one running circles around him.

00:59:46How did I end up the one getting reeled in with property deeds and warm milk?

00:59:50This is dangerous.

00:59:52The more I think about it, the hungrier I get.

00:59:54My legs are going weak again.

00:59:57I tossed on the silk sheets until two in the morning, then gave up and headed to the kitchen

01:00:01for water.

01:00:02The 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.

01:00:08Moonlight poured through the window, highlighting his collarbone and the hard lines of his

01:00:12chest.

01:00:13That rich, intoxicating wave of pure masculine energy slammed into me.

01:00:17Figured you couldn't sleep.

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

01:00:22I swallowed hard, fighting the urge to lunge at him, and hesitated.

01:00:26You really don't mind?

01:00:27I'm not even human, and I constantly narrate every dirty thought I have about you.

01:00:33No one here knew the old me.

01:00:35Doesn't that make me some kind of dangerous freak?

01:00:37Ethan leaned against the counter and let out a low, rough laugh.

01:00:41You think someone who's heard every greedy, filthy, calculating thought people have since

01:00:44Yash Day has any room to judge a straightforward little suck of her?

01:00:47He stepped forward, took the mug from my hands, and set it aside.

01:00:52You're the cleanest thing I've ever met.

01:00:54You think it, you say it, at least in your head.

01:00:57You're hungry, you admit you want to devour me.

01:00:59You're scared, you admit you're scared.

01:01:01Even when you're trying to get in bed, you're completely honest.

01:01:03No games, no lies.

01:01:05He bent down, lips brushing my ear, breath hot and heavy.

01:01:08Jade, for me that's more than enough.

01:01:12Oh my god, this man who barely flirted in his life just said something ten times deadlier

01:01:16than any dirty line I could come up with.

01:01:18My legs are done.

01:01:19I want him to pin me against this counter and take me right here, right now.

01:01:25The next day at Frost Capital, everything looked normal on the surface.

01:01:29I sat in my new executive office, tugging at my collar, replaying his low, burning voice

01:01:34from the kitchen.

01:01:35How does a man made of ice become even more dangerous when he gets warm?

01:01:38Did he secretly take an advanced flirting master class?

01:01:40My phone buzzed.

01:01:43Embarrassment shot through me.

01:01:45I 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

01:01:58cool and untouchable.

01:01:59When you think things that loudly, it's impossible to ignore.

01:02:03I fell apart.

01:02:05What do you mean loudly?

01:02:06I was just doing an objective review of your body from last night.

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

01:02:14Is that loud enough?

01:02:15Three seconds later, Ethan set down his pen.

01:02:17He stood, shrugged off his jacket, and locked the door with a click.

01:02:26Yes.

01:02:27He 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.

01:02:35I forgot how to breathe.

01:02:36My body melted against him even as I tried to keep up the act.

01:02:40What do you mean, handle it?

01:02:43Ethan lowered his head until his lips nearly touched mine, voice rough.

01:02:46For example, finishing what we started in the kitchen last night.

01:02:50This man is flirting while his ears are turning bright red.

01:02:53That contrast is criminal.

01:02:55It should be illegal.

01:02:56Jade, don't look at me like that.

01:02:58I can hear you.

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

01:03:06Candlelight, expensive red wine, no staff hovering.

01:03:09I wore a tight black slip dress.

01:03:12He had loosened his tie and undone the top button of his shirt.

01:03:15Without the tie, he looks a little less like a monk, but that tiny hint of recklessness makes

01:03:20him even more dangerous.

01:03:21That throat.

01:03:22That collarbone.

01:03:23He's perfect.

01:03:24Ethan's fingers tightened around his wine glass.

01:03:27Thank you for the review.

01:03:28I bit into my stake and shot him a look.

01:03:31I was thinking that in my head.

01:03:34I heard every word.

01:03:35I gave up fighting and slid my hand under the table, squeezing his thigh through his pants.

01:03:41Since you have a direct line to my brain, can you at least mute it sometimes?

01:03:44Give a girl some privacy?

01:03:46Can't turn it off.

01:03:51He poured wine and brought the glass to my lips, eyes dark in the candlelight.

01:03:55But I can promise not to take every wild thought you have seriously.

01:03:58Oh yeah?

01:03:58Which 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

01:04:04I'm begging for mercy.

01:04:06I nearly choked on the wine.

01:04:08For the record, I meant every word of that.

01:04:10Ethan's hand froze.

01:04:11His eyes ignited with raw hunger.

01:04:13Is that so?

01:04:13Then starting tonight, I'm taking that thought very seriously.

01:04:17Is this man reverse trapping me right now?

01:04:19Yes.

01:04:21I laughed, equal parts delighted and furious, and pinched his thigh hard.

01:04:26Ethan Frost, you're supposed to be Wall Street's coldest predator.

01:04:29When did you learn to talk like a damn romance hero?

01:04:32Ethan leaned across the table and caught my wrist, voice low and gravelly.

01:04:36I'm a businessman in the boardroom.

01:04:38But when it comes to you, I'm your man.

01:04:41And I plan on making every filthy idea in your head real.

01:04:44In bed.

01:04:46It's over.

01:04:47A thousand years of experience.

01:04:49And this human is about to take me down.

01:04:53The dinner lasted two full hours.

01:04:56By the end, my legs were weak from the constant wave of his energy.

01:05:00Ethan barely spoke, but his thumb kept tracing slow circles over my knuckles.

01:05:04Proper on the surface, but full of promise underneath.

01:05:07I set down my fork and stared at his handsome, cold face.

01:05:12I've always wondered, when exactly did you realize I wasn't human?

01:05:17Day one.

01:05:18The second you walked into my office.

01:05:21Day one?

01:05:23All you knew was that I had a very active inner monolah shock.

01:05:28It was more than that.

01:05:29He leaned back, exuding pure power.

01:05:32When you walked in, something about you felt different.

01:05:37I've sensed greed and corruption in people since I was a child.

01:05:41But with you, it was bold, yes.

01:05:45Your thoughts about me were wild.

01:05:47But your desire was pure.

01:05:51It 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?

01:06:00Who wanted to devour you, and you still hired me?

01:06:03What kind of risk management is that?

01:06:05Ethan suddenly leaned across the table, gripped my jaw, and tilted my face up, eyes burning.

01:06:10The most desire I see is full of lie and power plays.

01:06:14Yours was honest.

01:06:16You wanted me because your instincts said so.

01:06:19That makes you more real than anyone who's ever walked through my door.

01:06:23Help.

01:06:24I spend all day mentally trying to get into this man's pants, and he calls that clean and pure?

01:06:31My values are fine.

01:06:33I've just finally found the real thing.

01:06:38When we left the restaurant, a light rain had just stopped.

01:06:42Ethan draped his jacket over my shoulders without a word and took my hand, fingers tightly laced.

01:06:47We walked slowly down the quiet sidewalk.

01:06:50This might be the first time it's just us.

01:06:52No reporters.

01:06:53No drama.

01:06:54Just him walking with me like a normal boyfriend.

01:06:58Hmm.

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

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

01:07:05I laughed and leaned into him, going soft against his shoulder.

01:07:09Tell me, Mr. CEO, you've really never dated before?

01:07:12No Harrises or models ever caught your eye?

01:07:14No.

01:07:14Then how are you so good at all of this?

01:07:16You talk like you came with built-in charm software.

01:07:18Ethan stopped under a street lamp.

01:07:20He cradled the back of my head and tilted my face up.

01:07:22Because with you, I don't need experience.

01:07:25The 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.

01:07:39Not the estate.

01:07:41Home.

01:07:44My position as executive advisor grew stronger every day.

01:07:48The old board members now avoided eye contact when I passed.

01:07:51In public, Ethan remained the icy, lethal CEO.

01:07:55But the second the office door locked, all that restrained power came rushing out for me alone.

01:08:00Like when he brought me warm milk late at night and just watched me with that hungry look.

01:08:04Like when I got caught staring at his body in a meeting and he abruptly ended a billion-dollar call.

01:08:09Like waking up on the office couch wrapped in his jacket and his arms.

01:08:13How does he do it?

01:08:14Ice god in public and completely addictive behind closed doors.

01:08:18This breaks every law of biology.

01:08:20Ethan looked up from his reports.

01:08:21A faint glint of amusement in his eyes.

01:08:24Because you spend all day loudly complimenting my body in your head.

01:08:28My face burned.

01:08:29I do not.

01:08:32You just finished planning exactly which position you want to use tonight.

01:08:35To drain me completely.

01:08:37I gave up pretending.

01:08:38I walked over, straddled his lap and hooked a finger in his shirt.

01:08:42Since you hear everything anyway, this weekend.

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

01:08:56Yes.

01:08:57As 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.

01:09:12I wrapped my arm around his, claiming him.

01:09:15Look at you, out of your suit and still causing chaos.

01:09:18Hearts are breaking left and right.

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

01:09:21I never cared before.

01:09:24But now I only wait for one person.

01:09:27I'm done.

01:09:28This 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.

01:09:44By the time the lights came up, we were both breathing harder.

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

01:09:50Your 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.

01:10:03That's because you never once thought about letting go.

01:10:09On the ride home, Ethan and I sat in the back with our hands still locked.

01:10:12Leo drove in professional silence.

01:10:15Ethan, hypothetically, if there was no energy connection between us,

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

01:10:24Yes.

01:10:25No 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.

01:10:36You 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 has ever looked at me like that.

01:10:49My heart skipped.

01:10:50Even the man who owns Manhattan has been starving for something real.

01:10:58Leo 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.

01:11:13I buried my face in Ethan's chest and laughed until I shut...

01:11:17Late that night at the estate, Ethan found me on the sofa scrolling news.

01:11:22Don't waste energy on that garbage.

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

01:11:28I'm worried.

01:11:29The resonance between us could drag Frost.

01:11:34Capital down one day.

01:11:36Ethan 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.

01:11:55To protect you.

01:11:57Yes.

01:11:58I'm scared.

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

01:12:01You were ready to disappear.

01:12:03Alone to keep me safe.

01:12:05Jade, I 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 and bit down on his collarbone,

01:12:14leaving clear marks.

01:12:15Fine.

01:12:17If you want me to stay, promise me one thing.

01:12:21If the resonance ever acts off, you tell me immediately.

01:12:25No hiding.

01:12:27Ethan looked at the marks, then at my eyes and pulled me closer.

01:12:30Deal.

01:12:30I promise.

01:12:33The next afternoon, I walked into Ethan's office during a serious international video call.

01:12:39He hit mute, waved me in and pulled me into the chair beside him.

01:12:43He continued the call in fluent, ruthless German while I watched him work.

01:12:48Who would believe it?

01:12:50The hardest man in America is secretly this earnest guy who doesn't know how to say he

01:12:57loves me without looking lost.

01:13:00Ethan missed half a beat in his sentence, then recovered with icy precision and ended the

01:13:04call.

01:13:05He pulled off his tie and stood towering over me.

01:13:10Jade, you'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 and gripped my ankle.

01:13:23You called me an emotionally stempid idiot who can't express himself.

01:13:28That was in my head.

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

01:13:31Ethan leaned in, breath 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, where and how exactly do you want to give me that hands-on lesson?

01:13:42The most repressed man in the world just asked me to teach him how to express feelings and

01:13:46suggested positions.

01:13:48Nothing's wrong.

01:13:50You showed up and all my old rules went out the window.

01:13:56Later that afternoon, Leo came into my office looking nervous.

01:14:01Miss Summers, there's something I need to tell you, even though Mr. Frost told me not

01:14:05too.

01:14:06What's he been doing behind my back?

01:14:08He's been using every contact the Frost family has, top legal teams, private networks, even

01:14:13Washington, to research ways for non-human entities to gain legal identities.

01:14:18He's building you a complete, legitimate identity in 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 since I moved in.

01:14:31He never planned for me to stay in the shadows.

01:14:34Leo left.

01:14:35I stared out at the glittering Manhattan skyline, eyes blurring with tears.

01:14:40My phone buzzed.

01:14:45Not that many.

01:14:47It's the necessary investment of a husband.

01:14:50I laughed and cried at the same time.

01:14:52Can you please turn off the telepathy for five minutes, you compulsive eavedropper?

01:14:57Business hours are over.

01:14:59Come home.

01:14:59I'll walk you through everything in the penthouse.

01:15:04That night, Ethan took me to the new rooftop terrace overlooking the city.

01:15:08He handed me a glass of wine and stood at the railing in his white shirt.

01:15:12Where do you want to start, Mrs. Partner?

01:15:15I let my leg brush against his through the slit in my dress.

01:15:19Leo said you're building me a real identity?

01:15:22Independent?

01:15:22Legal?

01:15:23Do you actually think that's possible?

01:15:25On Wall Street, when I decide I want something, impossible doesn't exist.

01:15:31He stepped close, trapping me against the railing.

01:15:33The European trust structure is done.

01:15:36You'll be recognized as the heir of an ancient private dynasty.

01:15:39It's complicated, but it will hold.

01:15:41Why go this far?

01:15:42Hiding in your assets would have been safer for you.

01:15:44Because I'm done watching you think you belong in the shadows.

01:15:48And I'm not letting you keep one eye on the exit because you're scared of hurting me.

01:15:53He tucked my hair back, then pressed his fingers firmly against my inner thigh.

01:15:58That highest seat has always been yours.

01:16:01Not out of pity.

01:16:02You earned it.

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

01:16:05No succubus could resist a cold, celibate man who decides to love this obsessively.

01:16:09I dropped my glass, slid my hands into his collar and straddled his waist.

01:16:14Since your plan is this perfect, I think we've earned some very high returns.

01:16:18Up here, with no one to interrupt us, don't you think?

01:16:23That night on the rooftop, we lost ourselves in each other under the Manhattan skyline.

01:16:29Straddling him, taking everything he gave,

01:16:31I told him between broken breaths about my life in the abyss and how scared I'd been when I first

01:16:36crossed over.

01:16:36Ethan held my waist, eyes blazing.

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

01:16:41In the abyss, all I thought about was draining men like you completely.

01:16:48He drove deeper, drawing a helpless moan from me.

01:16:52You came from there, but now you're in my bed.

01:16:55By normal logic, shouldn't you have called a priest to exorcite me?

01:17:01Ethan gave a rare, wicked smile.

01:17:03Send you back so you can put your hands on some 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 my company as your buffet.

01:17:19That means for the rest of your life, you only eat at my table.

01:17:24After a thousand years of hunger,

01:17:27this feels like the luckiest detour in existence.

01:17:30Ethan went still, then laughed and gave my ass a sharp smack.

01:17:34In the middle of this, the best you can think is cosmically lucky.

01:17:39Try I'm the lucky one, 30 years old.

01:17:42And I finally found my little monster.

01:17:49Weeks later, the dust on Wall Street finally settled.

01:17:52Leo and the legal team completely dismantled the Cross Foundation's network.

01:17:56Warren got 12 years.

01:17:58Victoria got 3 years for defamation and illegal hacking.

01:18:01She wouldn't show her face in New York again.

01:18:04I watched the footage of her sentencing with zero emotion.

01:18:08Natural consequences.

01:18:09If she'd focused on doing her job instead of trying to destroy me,

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

01:18:15Speaking of the sofa,

01:18:17the leather is nice.

01:18:20But last week when Ethan had me pinned here

01:18:23and used his tide.

01:18:25Across the room, Ethan's pen nearly tore through the contract.

01:18:27He looked up slowly, eyes blazing with barely contained fire.

01:18:31Jade Summers.

01:18:34You've replayed last week on that sofa at least 10 times today.

01:18:38I tucked my dress lower and looked at him innocently

01:18:40while turning up the heat in my thoughts.

01:18:42So?

01:18:43Quality control?

01:18:54Ethan took a slow breath, stood and started unbuttoning his shirt,

01:18:58revealing hard lines of muscle.

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

01:19:03You are the highest level of trouble this office has ever seen.

01:19:12But since you've been sending that invitation all afternoon,

01:19:16if you even think about hiding under the desk again,

01:19:21you won't like what happens next.

01:19:24It's when the most controlled man in the world turns dangerous with a belt

01:19:28and that look, that's not a man anymore.

01:19:30That's a natural disaster.

01:19:32He pushed me down onto the sofa,

01:19:34pinned my wrists and wrapped the belt around them.

01:19:36He bit my lower lip voice wrecked.

01:19:38I heard that.

01:19:40Focus.

01:19:43Three months later, in deep autumn,

01:19:45the first snow fell on Manhattan.

01:19:47Ethan had bought a new penthouse with a breathtaking view over the city.

01:19:51I stood at the floor-to-ceiling windows when a hot, bare hand pulled me back against his solid body.

01:19:57New place.

01:19:58Do you like it?

01:19:59I love it.

01:20:00So, Mr. CEO,

01:20:02you bought the penthouse with this exact view,

01:20:04just to recreate our first real night together?

01:20:06Ethan laughed low, the sound vibrating through me.

01:20:08Not a recreation.

01:20:09I want every day you spend in this world to have this view.

01:20:13Your city and mine, together.

01:20:15I turned, let my hand slide down his 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,

01:20:24told the world I'm yours,

01:20:27and you still haven't given me one proper engagement ring.

01:20:30On human timelines, that's a violation.

01:20:32That bulletproof asset declaration outrangs any diamond.

01:20:36For a Sukfa who only cares about energy,

01:20:39does it really matter?

01:20:40I thought stubbornly.

01:20:42Probably not.

01:20:44Because whether it's the assets or that insane body of his,

01:20:47I decided long ago I'm keeping both.

01:20:50For life.

01:20:51No returns.

01:20:52Heard every word.

01:20:54The last of his cool distance melted.

01:20:56He pulled out a small velvet box.

01:20:58Inside was a simple, elegant, antique silver band.

01:21:01Had it ready since the day you moved in.

01:21:03Last night, after you wore me out and fell asleep,

01:21:05I measured your finger.

01:21:06He slid the ring onto my finger with complete ownership.

01:21:09Perfect fit.

01:21:11Of course it is.

01:21:12This man is precise about everything.

01:21:14For the first time in forever,

01:21:16I didn't run.

01:21:17I rose on my toes and kissed him deep,

01:21:19real and full of everything I felt.

01:21:22Ethan Frost.

01:21:23Thank you for finding a stray little monster

01:21:26and giving her a real reason to stay.

01:21:30Thank you for falling out of whatever clack in the universe you came from

01:21:34and landing in my office.

01:21:35He cupped the back of my head and kissed me back,

01:21:38deep and warm.

01:21:40Outside, snow fell quietly over the glittering city.

01:21:43After countless years of hunger,

01:21:45my soul had finally found home.
