00:00:00I'm a starving succubus who survives on men's desire, but I just woke up in modern New York,
00:00:06where 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
00:00:31thick throbbing cock, sucking him dry and breaking his perfect control. Suddenly, Ethan snaps his pen
00:00:37clean in half. He stares at me jaw-tight voice rough. You're hired. He can hear every filthy thought in
00:00:43my head. I'm Jade Summers. One second I was the most seductive succubus in the abyss, drunk on desire and
00:00:50raw 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
00:01:12little energy, and I got dragged into HR, publicly fired for sexual harassment, and almost arrested.
00:01:18No legal identity here means I starve. End of story. So I squeezed myself into the most buttoned-up
00:01:24black blazer I could find, every button fastened tight to my throat, and walked into Frost Capital,
00:01:30one of Manhattan's most cutthroat firms, for a personal secretary interview. The man interviewing
00:01:35me was the one who runs everything. Ethan Frost. Everyone called him untouchable. Cold privileged,
00:01:42disciplined to the bone. A man so controlled that women could throw themselves at him all night and
00:01:46he would not even blink. But the moment I stepped into his office, a thick wave of pure, scorching masculine
00:01:53energy slammed into me. My succubus instincts went feral. Oh my god. Look at those broad shoulders,
00:02:00that tight waist, those powerful thighs. Those dress pants are stretched so obscenely I can see
00:02:06the outline of every inch. I bet he's thick, heavy, and perfect. I wonder how long this tightly wound
00:02:13ice prince can keep his control before he snaps. I want to shove him back onto that desk, tear that
00:02:19expensive suit off him and ride him raw until he's shaking and begging. I was deep in that filthy
00:02:25fantasy when a loud snap cracked through the room. Ethan's luxury pen broke in half, black ink spilling
00:02:31over his fingers. He slowly lifted his gaze. This cold, dark eyes pinned me like a predator. His voice
00:02:38came out low, rough, and dangerously controlled. He paused, jaw-tight, eyes burning with something dark
00:02:44and volatile. Jade Summers. You're hired.
00:02:49I stood there completely stunned. You really just hired me? After I had mentally stripped him naked
00:02:55and imagined riding him senseless? Not that I was complaining. This job gave me legitimate, daily access
00:03:01to the most powerful source of energy I had ever felt. I had barely stepped out of his office when
00:03:06Victoria, the senior director, cornered me in the hallway. She looked at me like I was something filthy
00:03:12that had just crawled in off the street. She marched up in her sharp heels and shoved my shoulder
00:03:17hard. Button that collar all the way up. If I ever see you throwing yourself at Mr. Frost,
00:03:23you won't even make it through tomorrow. Do you understand me? I let myself stumble back and quickly
00:03:28put on my most innocent, obedient face. Of course, director. I'll be completely professional. But inside,
00:03:35my succubus side was burning with contempt. Throwing myself at him? Please. You look at him like you own
00:03:41him. You have no idea how good it feels to be flooded with that kind of raw, masculine energy.
00:03:45It would probably kill you. A body like his deserves to be claimed every single day. I want to wrap
00:03:50myself around him. Drain him with my mouth and hands until he has nothing left to give. A heavy
00:03:54footstep sounded behind me. Ethan stood just a few feet away in his perfectly tailored black suit,
00:04:00his presence filling the hallway. His dark, intense eyes were locked directly on my face.
00:04:05Victoria spun around instantly, flashing a sweet, adoring smile. Mr. Frost! I was just giving the new
00:04:12assistant some orientation on proper office standards, making sure the wrong kind of woman
00:04:16doesn't cause you any problems. Ethan ignored her completely. His gaze never left me. I watched his
00:04:22throat tighten as he swallowed slowly, something dark and heated flashing in his eyes. His voice came
00:04:28out low and commanding. Coffee. Now. Five minutes later, I walked into the CEO's office with a cup of
00:04:38black coffee. The second I stepped through the door, that devastating masculine energy wrapped around me
00:04:43again. Hot and clean and way too close. It clung to my skin like a second layer. Ethan was leaning
00:04:49back
00:04:49in his chair, reviewing documents like nothing in the world could shake him. Shirt buttoned. Tie straight.
00:04:55Face cold enough to freeze over hell. But my eyes had no loyalty to my brain. They kept drifting lower
00:05:01straight to the tight stretch of his dress pants. That energy is so thick and pure it's making me
00:05:07dizzy. The way those pants hug him should be illegal. If he ever let loose on me, he would completely
00:05:13wreck
00:05:13me. God, I wanna- I was so busy staring that I completely missed the face beside me. My heel
00:05:18caught
00:05:18the edge of it and rolled. Ah! I lost my balance and pitched forward straight into him. The entire cup
00:05:24of
00:05:24scalding coffee splashed across his lap. Every single drop. A low, ragged groan tore out of
00:05:31him. The documents in his hands scattered all over the floor. My soul nearly left my body. I scrambled
00:05:37up, grabbed the tissue box off his desk and started frantically dabbing at his thighs. Mr. Frost, I'm so
00:05:43sorry. Please don't move. I'll clean it up. The second my fingers pressed against the soaked fabric,
00:05:49I froze. Even through the thin material, the heat under my hand was overwhelming. Hard, tense,
00:05:55very, very alive. My fingers started to shake. Wait, is he getting hard? God, he's huge.
00:06:02Ugh, I just wanna rip these pants open and put my mouth onto his monstrous cock. Ethan's hand,
00:06:07which had been reaching for the tissues, stopped dead in midair. For one terrifying second,
00:06:13the whole office went silent. Then his large, burning hand came down on my lower back.
00:06:17He seized me and pulled me hard against his chest. My breath caught. His body was solid against mine,
00:06:23his breath hot and uneven on my face. That perfect frozen composure finally cracked. And what leaked
00:06:29through was dark, hungry, and dangerous. His voice dropped low. You really can't stop looking there,
00:06:35can you? His voice was low against my ear, and that thick, impossible bulge pressing against me was
00:06:42impossible to ignore. My succubus control was hanging by a thread. This man was plain dirty.
00:06:48And the worst part was, I was almost sure he knew it. I swallowed hard, my whole body going soft
00:06:54against
00:06:54him. My arms slid around his neck before my brain could stop them. I leaned in, lips parting, the tip
00:07:00of my tongue just barely brushing out. One more inch. Just one. Then the memory hit me like a fire
00:07:06alarm.
00:07:06HR dragging me out of my last job in front of everyone. Security watching me like I was dangerous.
00:07:11The threat of handcuffs, police, and a permanent record, all because I touched a co-worker's
00:07:16abs when I was starving. My blood went cold. This was not some random office. This was the CEO's
00:07:22office in New York. And this was Ethan Frost, one of the most powerful men in the country.
00:07:28Throwing myself at him was not a cute little workplace mistake. This could destroy my life.
00:07:33All my succubus confidence disappeared in an instant. I came here to survive, not to end up in prison.
00:07:40I shoved him back with a sudden burst of strength, slipped out of his arms, and dropped hard onto
00:07:44the floor. Mr. Frost, I'm so sorry. I swear I'm a respectable woman. I just slipped. That's all. I
00:07:52wasn't trying anything. Please don't call the police. I'm not some kind of predator. I fumbled with the
00:07:57door, yanked 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
00:08:09exactly where I had left him. His shirt was wrinkled. His breathing was rough. His hands were
00:08:14empty, like he had not expected me to escape. And the look in his eyes was not anger. It was
00:08:20hunger.
00:08:21The 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.
00:08:30The coffee disaster was still replaying in my head, along with Ethan's hand on my waist,
00:08:35his 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 of
00:08:45ice water in her hands. She stopped right in front of me, a small, vicious smile tugging at her lips.
00:08:51Then she let her foot slip on purpose. The entire basin came crashing down over me.
00:08:57Ice 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
00:09:08direction. 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 shopped, people are staring? Please,
00:09:21you don't dress like that by accident. Victoria stood at the front of the crowd,
00:09:25savoring every second of my humiliation. Her voice was sweet, but every word was meant to cut.
00:09:31Everyone seeing this? Our new secretary shows up on day one with lingerie under a white plouse
00:09:35and expects us to believe she is here for spreadsheets? I hugged my soaked blouse to my
00:09:40chest, shivering. This is Frost Capital, not some club bathroom. I'm reporting you to HR myself.
00:09:45Enjoy your last day. I lowered my eyes, looking weak and humiliated. Inside I was burning.
00:09:50Get me fired? Go ahead and try. If Ethan sees me like this, he won't be able to look away
00:09:54for days.
00:09:55This body was made to drive a man like him wild. I could wrap myself around him and drain every
00:09:59last drop he has. You're nothing compared to that. Victoria took my silence for fear and reached for
00:10:04my wet collar. What, nothing to say now? You were so good at playing innocent earlier. Come on,
00:10:10let everyone see what kind of professional you really are. The crowd suddenly went silent.
00:10:14What is going on here? One low, cutting voice was enough to freeze the entire break room.
00:10:21Everyone fell silent and stepped aside at once. Ethan walked in. His gaze landed on my soaked,
00:10:28almost transparent blouse. For one long second, he said nothing. His jaw tightened and his throat moved
00:10:34once hard. Those eyes, usually cold enough to keep the whole office at a distance, darken the moment
00:10:40they saw me. Mr. Frost, look at her. I don't know what kind of stunt she pulled to end up
00:10:46like this,
00:10:47but she's been standing here, putting herself on display and trying to make everyone uncomfortable.
00:10:52Ethan did not even look at her. He shrugged off his jacket, still warm and carrying that clean cedar scent,
00:10:58then 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
00:11:14took 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
00:11:35where
00:11:35this is 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 own
00:11:52heartbeat. Then a vein jumped at his temple and he took one slow breath like he was trying very hard
00:11:57not to lose control. When he turned around, his expression had gone dangerously still. The next
00:12:03second he 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 and
00:12:30gave
00:12:30him my best helpless wide-eyed look. Mr. Frost, I wasn't thinking anything. I was just scared after getting
00:12:37soaked like that. Ethan let out a low, cold laugh. His fingers closed around my jaw and tilted my face
00:12:43up.
00:12:43His breath brushed over my lips, warm and dangerously uneven. He did not answer me. Instead his other hand
00:12:51went to his tie. He pulled it loose in one slow, deliberate motion like he had all the time in
00:12:56the
00:12:56world. Then he dropped it onto the desk. My pulse jumped. Then he undid the top two buttons of his
00:13:01shirt. That collarbone. That shadow beneath the open fabric. That hard, controlled body he kept locked
00:13:08away under expensive suits every single day. He stepped right into my line of sight and stayed
00:13:13there. This man was baiting me on purpose. I stared at his open collar and swallowed hard.
00:13:18My traitorous hand started rising on its own, reaching for that warm, firm chest like I had
00:13:24no survival instincts at all. Screw it. He started this. Just touching him would be worth it.
00:13:35My fingertips were one breath away from touching him. Then the alarm in my head screamed.
00:13:41Flashing lights. Cold handcuffs. Iron bars. A full criminal case with my name on it. Getting fired
00:13:48for 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,
00:13:59ducked under his arm, and slipped away. Mr. Frost, my eyes are closed. I didn't see anything. Please
00:14:05keep your shirt on. I have absolutely zero inappropriate thoughts about you. I spun toward
00:14:10the door and got my hand on the lock. But before I could turn it, a rush of cedar and
00:14:14heat swept over
00:14:15me from behind. Ethan was suddenly there, his shirt still undone. One hand braced against the door,
00:14:21trapping me in place. His chest pressed close against my back, and his breath brushed over my
00:14:26ear. Zero inappropriate thoughts. His voice was low and rough, with an edge that left no room to hide.
00:14:33His fingers found my jaw from behind and turned my head, forcing my gaze back to the open stretch of
00:14:39his shirt and everything it revealed. 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
00:14:59last bit of restraint and do something about it right there in his office, the pressure suddenly
00:15:04lifted. He reached into the pocket of the jacket wrapped around me and slipped in a black and gold
00:15:08invitation card, along with a handwritten note. Tomorrow night's finance charity gala,
00:15:13you're attending as my executive advisor. Go to this address today and get a gown.
00:15:18By the time I made it back to my desk, the note was still warm in my palm. The next
00:15:22evening,
00:15:23a black Maybach pulled up smoothly in front of an elite boutique on Fifth Avenue. The store manager
00:15:28had clearly been briefed in advance and met us at the door with a polished, professional smile.
00:15:33Miss Summers, right this way, to the fitting area. She looped the tape around my chest,
00:15:38then drew it in at my waist. A second later, she gasped. Good lord, Miss Summers. These measurements
00:15:44are unreal. This kind of figure comes along once in a lifetime. She immediately pulled out a red gown,
00:15:51deep V-neckline, open back, a slit that started high on the thigh. I recommend this one. Wear this
00:15:58tonight, and you'll be the best thing that ever happened to Frost Capital's public image. I stared at
00:16:04that gorgeous barely there piece of fabric, and my succubus instinct sat straight up.
00:16:09With this body in that dress? Absolutely lethal. So that is why he kept looking at me like that
00:16:15yesterday. He has been wanting to see me in this all along. Fine, I'll wear it to the gala and
00:16:22watch
00:16:22his eyes drop straight to my neckline. That will be entirely his fault. Then the memory of being trapped
00:16:29against the door last night came back in full detail, and my survival instinct seized the wheel.
00:16:34No. Low profile. Boring. See. If he lost control in front of everyone at the gala, I would lose the
00:16:40job
00:16:41and then I would starve. I backed away from the dress like it had personally threatened me, both hands
00:16:46clamped to my collar. No. Absolutely not. High neck, long sleeves, ankle length if possible. I am a professional.
00:16:53The words had barely left my mouth when a quiet, unmistakably amused laugh came from just outside the heavy
00:16:59fitting room curtain. Ethan had appeared on the other side, perfectly dressed, perfectly composed, and somehow
00:17:05right there. He glanced at the manager, his expression unreadable. Give us a moment.
00:17:11The manager blinked, bowed, and quickly slipped out. Ethan walked into the fitting area and picked up the red gown.
00:17:17The heavy curtain swept shut behind him. Now it was just the two of us in a very small space.
00:17:23The air
00:17:24seemed to thicken. He moved toward me one step at a time, his tall frame carrying the full weight of
00:17:29his presence, until my back pressed against the full-length mirror. Mr. Frost, what are you doing?
00:17:35I swallowed hard. My palms were damp. Ethan set the gown aside and picked up the measuring tape.
00:17:42Drop straight to your neckline?
00:17:43I leaned unsteadily against the mirror and stared at him. How was he hearing every single thought in
00:17:49real time, even the ones from yesterday? He did not give me a second to figure it out. He spread
00:17:54his
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
00:17:59felt far too close to an embrace. His energy washed over me all at once and my legs nearly gave
00:18:04out.
00:18:04Help. He is so close. He is so warm. This is going to drown me. Those shoulders. That waist. Right
00:18:14here.
00:18:15Within reach. I want to push him back against this mirror, tear that suit off him, and make him lose
00:18:22every bit of that perfect control. Ethan's breathing changed. He dipped his head, his lips only a breath from
00:18:30my ear, and his voice came out low enough to make my knees weaken. Jade, let me find out for
00:18:37myself
00:18:37exactly how extraordinary you are. His hand moved slowly up my back. The other cradled the back of
00:18:45my head. His face tilted closer, and his lips were one second away from mine. One second before contact,
00:18:52the coward in me took over. I dropped, tried to slip under his arm, and aimed for the narrow gap
00:18:57beside
00:18:57him. This time he did not let me get away. His arm caught my waist and pulled me back hard
00:19:02against
00:19:03him. For a second, my feet left the floor and my back hit the mirror with a low solid sound.
00:19:08His chest
00:19:09was pressed against mine with no space between us at all. Those dark eyes were done pretending. Every bit
00:19:15of restraint he had 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. Jade, you are
00:19:33wearing
00:19:34that red dress to the gala tonight. His eyes moved over my face, then lowered briefly to the gown beside
00:19:40us.
00:19:41Because right now, I want to see you in it.
00:19:49I ran, but it did not matter. That night at the charity gala, I was still wearing the red dress
00:19:54Ethan
00:19:54had personally approved. The venue was all crystal chandeliers, champagne towers, and people pretending
00:20:00they were not staring. We had barely made it through the entrance when Victoria appeared with a glass of
00:20:05wine and a sweet innocent smile. Miss Summers, Mr. Frost left a backup document in the storage room
00:20:12at the end of the hall. Be useful and go get it, for him. I was lightheaded with hunger and
00:20:18too
00:20:19distracted to think clearly so I went. The moment I stepped through the old wooden door, the lock
00:20:23clicked shut from the outside. Heels clicked away into silence. Victoria, obviously. The storage room had
00:20:30no windows and no ventilation. It was dark cramped and sweltering, like I had been sealed inside an
00:20:36oven. In that kind of heat with my body already starving, my succubus instincts kicked into full
00:20:42overdrive. The 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. His breath at my ear. That
00:20:54clean,
00:20:55intoxicating energy pouring off him and sinking into my skin. I just need him to hold me right now.
00:21:00That's it. Just hold me. If he came through that door and completely took me over, I don't know how
00:21:07much longer I can hold back. The lock turned again. The dark silhouette slipped inside and shut the door
00:21:14behind him. Then he locked it again. My breath caught. How long are you going? Keep driving me crazy like
00:21:20this, Jade. Mr. Frost? How did you get in here? I didn't do anything. I didn't even say anything. You
00:21:25didn't
00:21:26have to. Every single word. He moved closer. That overwhelming heat rolled over me, rich and controlled
00:21:32and dangerous. His hand pressed to the wall beside my head and he backed me into it with his body
00:21:38without
00:21:38ever fully touching where he should not. In the dark, he leaned down until his nose almost brushed mine. His
00:21:44voice
00:21:45was low, rough and far too steady. Then he repeated my own thoughts back to me, word for word, calm
00:21:50and
00:21:50merciless. I couldn't stop imagining Ethan's thick cock pushing against my pussy. Jade Summers,
00:21:57you've been undressing me in your head every day since the interview. Did you really think I couldn't
00:22:02hear you? From the moment you walked into my office on day one, every single word, I heard all of
00:22:10it.
00:22:11His 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 blight. Day one? That means every thought? Every single insane
00:22:24thing I've been thinking about him? Every single one. He answered like he was reading from a file,
00:22:31his lips almost brushing my ear. Including? I want to tear him apart.
00:22:37My face burned with humiliation. I wanted the floor to open up and swallow me straight back to the
00:22:42abyss. A thousand years of dignity, gone. Destroyed in one storage. Heard that too.
00:22:49His breath scorched my skin as he pressed closer. Through the thin fabric of his dress pants,
00:22:54I could feel the unmistakable heat and hard shape of him pushing firmly against me. I tried to back away
00:23:00on instinct, but there was nowhere to go. The wall was already pressed against my spine.
00:23:05Still trying to run from me? There was something dangerous in his voice now. Not anger exactly.
00:23:11Something darker. Something tightly leashed. I wasn't running. I just, I mean...
00:23:17I could not form a proper sentence. My mouth was denying everything while my thoughts were already
00:23:22betraying me. I don't want to run. I'm just scared. Scared of jail. Scared of losing this job. Scared I'll
00:23:31actually let him do whatever he wants. Ethan let out one quiet laugh.
00:23:36Jail? That is what you're scared of? His fingers caught my jaw and tipped my chin up.
00:23:41Those eyes were always so cold. Not now. Now they looked like they could burn me alive.
00:23:47You weren't scared when you were imagining my pants on the floor. And taking everything I have.
00:23:53My breath caught. That was private. Not to me. His thumb brushed along my jaw,
00:23:59slow enough to make my entire body tighten. Jade, listen to me. His voice dropped lower.
00:24:05I'm not calling the police. I swallowed hard. I'm not firing you. He leaned closer,
00:24:12every word deliberate. I'm done holding back. I'm going to give you every filthy thing you've been
00:24:19begging for. My breathing fell apart completely. Every word out of his mouth landed like a hook,
00:24:27catching on every nerve in my body. Give me what I want. Healy just said that. Does he even
00:24:33understand what he's offering? I do. He dipped his head, the tip of his nose brushing mine,
00:24:38his voice rough and low. From the day you walked into my office, I knew exactly what was going
00:24:42through your head. I didn't send you away. I didn't let you go. I kept pulling you closer on
00:24:48purpose. His hand settled firmly on my waist, strong but not forcing. Like he was giving me
00:24:53one final chance to back out. Ask yourself why. I opened my mouth, but no words came out.
00:24:59Why? Unless you actually want me just as badly? There it is. Then he pulled me in and kissed me
00:25:05hard.
00:25:05It was not tentative. It was not polite. It was not the careful, controlled kiss of a man asking
00:25:11permission with every breath. It was hunger finally breaking through restraint. Weeks of
00:25:15cold composure cracked open all at once, and the man underneath was anything but calm. One hand held
00:25:21the back of my head, keeping me from retreating. The other traced my waist, his touch leaving heat
00:25:26everywhere it landed. I could not breathe. My hands found his shoulders on their own, fingers digging
00:25:31into the expensive fabric of his suit jacket. This man cannot be real. No one this controlled
00:25:37should kiss like this. Ethan pulled back half an inch, his mouth still brushing mine. Stay with me.
00:25:42Then he kissed me again. Deeper this time. Slower. More deliberate. Like he had decided I was done
00:25:49running, and he intended to make sure I remembered it. The storage room felt hotter by the second.
00:25:54His hand found the slit of my red dress and slipped beneath the fabric,
00:25:58his fingers grazing the inside of my thigh. The sound escaped before I could stop it.
00:26:03My whole body went soft against him. Ethan's breathing turned rougher. His hand moved higher,
00:26:09careful but devastating, stopping just short of the place that would have ruined every last bit of my
00:26:13self-control. Don't stop. Please don't stop now. His fingers tightened slightly against my thigh.
00:26:19I heard that. His hand was just about to move again when the storage room door exploded inward from a
00:26:25single kick. Victoria's voice rang down the entire corridor. Everyone, get over here. I found her.
00:26:32Frost Capital's new assistant is locked in a storage room during a company gala with some random man.
00:26:37Security, get them out here now. Victoria had brought security guards, senior executives,
00:26:43and half the gala with her. Her face was twisted with triumph, like she had been waiting all night to
00:26:48turn one private mistake into a public scandal. This is exactly what I warned you about. She is a liability.
00:26:54She disappears during work hours, drags some man into a restricted area, and puts the entire
00:26:59company's reputation at risk. The flashlight swept wildly across the room. Then the beam landed on us.
00:27:06On Ethan. On me, pressed against the wall in his arms. Victoria'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 stair in the doorway.
00:27:22His shirt was rumpled. His collar hung open. His belt was half undone. And those eyes,
00:27:28usually distant and untouchable, were burning now with something dark enough to make every
00:27:33person at that door step back. He turned his head and swept the room with one look.
00:27:38Who the hell gave you permission to kick down my door?
00:27:41Mr. Mr. Frost!
00:27:43Her legs gave out. She dropped straight to the floor, her face white as paper.
00:27:48She had spent the whole night setting a trap for me. She had dragged half the company here to watch
00:27:53my downfall. But she never imagined the man she would catch with me would be Ethan Frost himself.
00:27:58I stayed tucked against Ethan's chest, feeling his heartbeat under my cheek. And for once I did not
00:28:04even try to hide my satisfaction. Well, surprise Victoria, you tried to ruin my night, and now he's about to
00:28:11ruin, ruin, your entire career. Honestly, I could not have planned it better myself.
00:28:15Ethan's arm tightened possessively around my waist. He looked down at the woman collapsed on the floor
00:28:21with total indifference, his voice cold and final. He looked toward Leo, who had just pushed through the
00:28:26crowd. Take her to accounting, have her office cleared before midnight, then make sure she never
00:28:32sets foot inside Frost Capital again. The corridor was so quiet you could hear champagne bubbles popping
00:28:39in the next room. Victoria was still screaming as security dragged her away.
00:28:44Mr. Frost! You can't fire me over this! That little slut sedust you! You're not thinking clearly
00:28:52because of her! Her voice faded toward the elevator bank, then disappeared. Ethan did not even look in
00:28:58her direction. He bent down, scooped me up over his shoulder like I weighed nothing and started walking.
00:29:03Mr. Frost! Put me down! I can walk! I hung upside down against his back, half-heartedly patting his
00:29:11shoulder blades. He didn't stop. He carried me straight through the executive corridor and up to
00:29:16the penthouse suite at the top of the building. The suite door flew open with one powerful kick.
00:29:21Then it slammed shut and locked. The world spun, and I landed on the enormous soft bed, somewhere between
00:29:27being thrown and placed. Before I could even sit up, Ethan came down over me all that intense,
00:29:32controlled power aimed straight at my body. His tie was already in his hand. He 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. We got interrupted earlier. His voice was rough and low,
00:29:49his breath hot against my face. We were way past pretending. He could hear every thought in my head.
00:29:54There was nothing left to hide. Something inside me finally broke. I reached up,
00:30:00grabbed his collar, and looked him straight in the eyes. We barely got started. You've been listening
00:30:06to every dirty thought. I've had this whole time, haven't you? I've been holding back for weeks.
00:30:14Tonight I'm done holding back! I let one finger trace slowly down the center of his chest.
00:30:19Something dark shifted in his eyes. The last bit of restraint in him snapped. He repeated my own
00:30:26thoughts back to me, his voice low and deliberate. That body looks incredible. I could ride him into
00:30:32the ground. Jade, if you say stop tonight, we're not stopping. He 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
00:30:46absolutely devastating the moment the door closed. That night I learned exactly what happens when a
00:30:53man with that much self-control finally lets it snap. He was relentless. Thorough. Like a man who had
00:30:58spent years starving in the desert and had finally found the one thing he wanted. Once he had me he
00:31:03had no intention of letting go. He found every weak spot I had and used them against me again and
00:31:08again,
00:31:08until I was clinging to him and begging him to slow down. I'm a succubus. I don't beg. And yet
00:31:14here I was.
00:31:15By morning, pale light spilled through the floor-to-ceiling windows. I opened my eyes feeling like I had
00:31:21survived a wreck. Every part of me ached in ways that were far too specific to ignore. Cold, restrained,
00:31:27and completely uninterested in women? What? What a joke. I am a thousand-year-old suffogos who came to
00:31:34this world to feed on men, and last night I was the one who had to tap out. The humiliation
00:31:40is unreal.
00:31:41I had barely finished my internal rant when a strong warm arm wrapped around me from behind
00:31:46and pulled me back against his solid chest. Complaining about me again? His voice was low,
00:31:51rough, and far too relaxed for a man who had ruined my dignity only a few hours ago. His lips
00:31:56brushed the
00:31:57back of my neck. Sounds like last night still wasn't enough. My whole body went tense. Ethan gave a quiet
00:32:03laugh and was already rolling me back toward him when every phone on the nightstand lit up at once.
00:32:08The mood snapped. In half a second, Ethan went from lazy and satisfied to ice cold. The temperature in
00:32:15the room seemed to drop 10 degrees. I leaned over to look. The financial gossip pages and social media
00:32:20had exploded. Frost 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. The article
00:32:32included a clear surveillance photo. Me. My very first day in this world. Hand slipped inside a
00:32:38co-worker's shirt. Right below it was the official termination notice from my old job. The evidence
00:32:44looked damning. I went completely rigid. Victoria's final parting gift. She must have leaked it on her way out.
00:32:52Ethan stared at the screenshot. A vein throbbing in his temple, his grip on the phone so tight his knuckles
00:32:57turned white. He turned to me, his eyes burning with a mix of fury and something far more dangerous.
00:33:03You were terrified of the police. Scared I'd report you. That's because you actually almost got arrested.
00:33:12For this, isn't it? My stomach dropped. Mr. Frost, please hear me out. I had just arrived in this world.
00:33:18I was so starved I was about to lose my physical form. I only needed a little energy to survive,
00:33:23and that guy was barely worth anything. His energy was like a 3 out of 10. I barely touched his
00:33:28hand
00:33:28and HR was already dragging me out. He was a sad little street stack. You are a full 5-beg
00:33:33course meal.
00:33:34Why the hell would I even look at anyone else after tasting you? The murderous look on Ethan's face
00:33:38faltered for just a second. The jealousy in his eyes didn't fade. If anything, it burned even hotter.
00:33:44He let out a sharp humorless laugh and moved toward me. So what you're saying is I'm not satisfying you
00:33:50enough and you're already thinking about going somewhere else? How many men's abs have you
00:33:53touched exactly? Before I could figure out how to handle a jealous, possessive CO,
00:33:58his personal line rang. Leo's voice came through on speaker, tense and urgent.
00:34:03Mr. Frost, Victoria and her father, board director Warren, have taken over the top floor conference room
00:34:12with six other board members. They've seen the morning news. They're claiming you're protecting someone
00:34:19with a sexual harassment record and it's destroying the firm's reputation. Warren is demanding you
00:34:26hand over operational control right now. They've also called the police. Officers are already waiting
00:34:32in the lobby. The jealousy in Ethan's eyes turned ice cold in an instant. He threw back the covers and
00:34:40stood up, grabbing a fresh white shirt from the wardrobe. He buttoned it with slow, precise movements,
00:34:45each one cold and calculated. His hands paused on his tie. He glanced over his shoulder at me,
00:34:51his voice sharp. Get dressed. Come deal with the mess you started. Anyone who thinks they can come
00:34:58after me is going to learn exactly what that cost them today. Thirty minutes later, the top floor
00:35:05conference room at Frost Capital. The 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. Warren
00:35:16sat at the center, his pampered face arranged in smug confidence. Victoria was right beside her father.
00:35:22The second she saw me, she shot out of her chair. There she is. That shameless woman has the nerve
00:35:27to
00:35:27show her face here after everything she's done. She slammed a stack of surveillance screenshots onto the
00:35:32table. Look at these. Your precious new assistant is a predator. Because of her disgusting scandal,
00:35:40lower limit this morning. Mr. Frost, if you don't hand her over to the police downstairs right now,
00:35:44you are just as guilty. The room buzzed with whispers. Every eye in the room turned on me like
00:35:49knives. Ethan sat at the head of the table, expression completely blank, fingers tapping
00:35:55slowly against the surface. The silence was suffocating. The board members took it as a sign that Ethan was
00:36:01about to fold and cut me loose. Victoria clearly read it the same way. She stormed around the table in
00:36:07her
00:36:07heels and came straight for me, arm already swinging. You worthless little tramp! Let me do this company
00:36:13a favor! A sharp crack echoed through the room, but I was the one still standing. While everyone
00:36:20watched in shock, I caught Victoria's wrist mid-swing with a grip like steel. A thousand years as a
00:36:26succubus meant my strength had nothing to do with how much energy I'd taken lately. He was no match for
00:36:31me.
00:36:31I twisted her wrist and shoved her away hard. She stumbled backward in her heels and crashed hard
00:36:37onto the conference room floor. You just attacked someone in front of the entire board?! I brushed my
00:36:43hands off and looked down at Victoria with a slow, cold smile. You want to dig up the past? Fine.
00:36:49Let's dig deep. I walked to the table, picked up one of the surveillance photos, and held it up for
00:36:54everyone to see. Yes, that's me. I touched a co-worker. I got fired for it. We were both single,
00:37:02and I accepted the consequences. Is that really worth calling the police? I dropped the photo
00:37:07directly onto Victoria's face. What's more interesting is you, Victoria. Last night, you paid a hacker
00:37:15to illegally break into my former employer's servers, stole that footage, and used company money to buy
00:37:21trending spots and bought traffic. I pulled a black USB drive from my jacket and slammed it down in the
00:37:28middle of the table. Wire transfers, chat logs, a signed confession from the hacker, everything.
00:37:36You want to talk about who deserves prison time? Start with yourself.
00:37:43Victoria's face went from gray to deathly white. She was shaking so hard she could barely stay upright.
00:37:49You're making all of this up! None of that is real! I kept my expression calm while internally I was
00:37:55counting down. Three, two, one. Babe, your turn. I just laid every card I have on the table. If you
00:38:03don't back me up right now, tonight I'm going to find a delivery guy to feed on, and you can
00:38:06deal with
00:38:07the consequences. Though honestly, even when he's just sitting there looking serious, why does he have
00:38:12to be so damn attractive? I want to crawl into his lap and kiss him until he loses his voice.
00:38:17Ethan's fingers, which had been steadily tapping the table, suddenly stopped. A flash of something
00:38:23crossed his face. He shot me a quick look that clearly said, control those thoughts right now.
00:38:28His ear had gone noticeably red. He looked away, regained his composure and gave Leo a small nod.
00:38:35Leo stepped forward and pressed a button. The large screen came alive, showing every transaction
00:38:40Victoria had made the night before, followed by a confession video Leo had clearly secured himself.
00:38:46The room erupted. Warren watched his daughter collapse and finally dropped his smug smile.
00:38:51But this was a man who had survived decades on Wall Street. He recovered quickly. Mr. Frost,
00:38:57impulsive decisions have consequences at your age. Victoria made a mistake and I'll handle her privately.
00:39:03But don't forget that hundred billion cross-border acquisition, I brookered it. The other party
00:39:07trusts me and only me. He lifted his chin arrogantly. You move against us today and that deal vanishes
00:39:12immediately. I leaned against the table and studied the old man's self-satisfied face.
00:39:19Something twisted in my stomach. I closed my eyes and fully opened the succubus ability I had been
00:39:24holding back all week. Great. Plus. Hidden secrets. They came to me like a clear scent. Within seconds,
00:39:32Warren's entire dirty hand was laid out in my mind like an open book. Hundred billion deal, please.
00:39:37Sweetheart. This man has three mistresses. Four offshore properties in the Cayman Islands and
00:39:44Kyprus. Paid for with laundered money from this very deal. The shell companies are even named after his
00:39:51mistress's initials. He's actually that stupid. He 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. He was receiving
00:40:03every shocking detail straight through my thoughts. He slowly raised his head. The way he looked at
00:40:09Warren now was pure predator. The look of someone who already knew every card on the table and found
00:40:14the whole game boring. The corner of his mouth curved slightly. The hundred billion acquisition,
00:40:19Warren? You really think I was only looking into your daughter last night? The confidence drained
00:40:23from Warren's face degree by degree. Mr. Frost? Ethan pressed the remote without another word.
00:40:28The screen switched to a full forensic audit report. The critical findings highlighted in stark red.
00:40:35Page after page of transactions. Layered offshore shell company charts. Every thread leading back to one
00:40:40name. Warren? Ethan rose slowly from his chair. Then slammed a thick stack of documents onto the conference
00:40:47table. Papers flew everywhere. Five years. Four hundred million dollars. Every transaction,
00:40:54every count, every shell company named after your mistress. It's all right here, Warren. With this kind
00:40:58of evidence staring you in the face, you don't even get to beg for mercy. The senior directors who had
00:41:03been backing him went pale. One by one, they quietly scooted their chairs back, desperate to distance
00:41:09themselves from the father-daughter disaster. Warren's legs gave out. His face turned ash white as he
00:41:15collapsed back into his chair, lips trembling, unable to speak a single word. I leaned against the table
00:41:21and watched Ethan backlit, spine straight, completely dismantling the old fox without breaking a sweat. I
00:41:27couldn't help myself. God, he's unreal. My knees are gone. There it is. My 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 straight.
00:41:41Ethan's posture stiffened slightly. At an angle no one else could see, the tips of his ears turned
00:41:47a deep red. He 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. Just then, the conference room doors burst open. Several officers
00:41:58from the financial crimes unit walked in, faces grim and determined. Warren, you're under arrest for
00:42:03embezzlement and large-scale money laundry. Come with us. The cold click of handcuffs snapped around
00:42:08Warren's wrists. Victoria went wild next, thrashing and screaming that I had done this to her. But two
00:42:15officers pinned her down and cuffed her anyway. The pair who had been untouchable minutes earlier were
00:42:19dragged out of the room like common criminals. Dead silence fell over the room. The remaining
00:42:25directors were sweating through their suits, barely daring to breathe. Ethan swept the room with a cold,
00:42:30measured stare. Does anyone here have a problem with Miss Summers staying at this company? Every
00:42:36director shook their heads frantically. No problem. Absolutely none. We're done here. In under 10
00:42:42seconds, every director bolted, clutching their files and nearly tripping over each other to get out.
00:42:48The 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. I was reaching for my glass of water, still riding the adrenaline when Ethan
00:43:04crossed the room in long, powerful strides. His presence hit me before he even touched me,
00:43:09that rich cedar scent mixed with raw heat. He grabbed my wrist and pressed me hard against the edge of
00:43:14the
00:43:15conference table. Warren and Victoria's bill is paid. Now it's time to settle ours. He leaned down,
00:43:21eyes locking onto mine with intense focus. Answer me. How many guys abs have you actually touched?
00:43:27That one with the energy score of three, was it really worth it? Worth it? Please. Nothing compares to
00:43:33that insane waste of his. He's in a completely different league and he knows it. That was all it
00:43:38took. Whatever control he had left snapped. He grabbed me by the waist, lifted me off the ground and sent
00:43:44me
00:43:44down in the middle of the paper-covered conference table. Camera's are off. Now I want you to show me
00:43:50every dirty thought that's been running through that head of yours. All of it. He pressed forward
00:43:56and kissed me hard. Several hours later, after we had thoroughly used every inch of that conference room,
00:44:02an anonymous investigative report landed at a media office somewhere in New York. The document was clear.
00:44:08Jade Summers. No social records, no enrollment history, no employment trail before five years ago.
00:44:14Appeared out of nowhere. Suspected false identity. Possible 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. Who is she really? Tore through every
00:44:32financial outlet. The piece questioned my complete lack of digital footprint or work history before five
00:44:37years ago. I sat at my desk staring at the blazing red headline, palms sweating. This was bad. My five
00:44:44years ago, belonged to someone else's body in another life. There was no paper trail because there couldn't
00:44:50be one. Around me, the interns and junior analysts had dropped all deference. I was nervously tugging at
00:44:56the hem of my blazer when the executive suite door opened. Ethan walked out holding a printed copy of the
00:45:02report, his expression ice cold. He didn't look at anyone else. He caught my wrist and pulled me
00:45:07straight into his private lounge. The door shut. He pressed me down onto the sofa, sat across from
00:45:13me and stared at the report in silence for a long moment. Here it comes. He's going to ask who
00:45:18I really
00:45:18am and how I appeared out of thin air. What do I even say? That I'm a suckabor who needs
00:45:24men's
00:45:24intimate energy to survive? Is he going to think I'm a monster and try to lock me away? My mind
00:45:30was
00:45:30spiraling into disaster scenarios. Across from me, a vein ticked in Ethan's temple. He finally took a slow
00:45:37breath and set the report down. What do you want for dinner tonight? I froze completely.
00:45:43Every lie I had prepared got stuck in my throat. I just stared at him. You're not going to ask?
00:45:49The
00:45:50whole internet is calling me a spy or a sleeper agent? Ethan stood and straightened his cuffs
00:45:55with that same calm composure. I'm curious. Then why aren't you- Because I've already heard
00:46:00every single thought. He met my eyes, patient and certain. The ones when you can't sleep. The ones when
00:46:05you're panicking about prison. The ones where you imagined me locking you up. I heard all of it.
00:46:10He stepped closer and caged me against the sofa with his body. I know what you are. A creature
00:46:15who survives on men's energy. That's it. What else do you want me to ask? He had known all along,
00:46:21and still draped his jacket over me in the break room. Still protected me. Still put Victoria and her
00:46:27father behind bars. A thousand years of watching people's faces twist in fear, disgust, or greed when they
00:46:33learn the truth. And this man acted like it was nothing. My eyes stung. My toes burned. He's not
00:46:39right in the head. He's supposed to be allergic to women. He's supposed to run. But he's not afraid
00:46:45of me at all. Fine. If you're not scared, then tonight I'm going to wreck you completely.
00:46:52You'll be the one begging. Ethan's cufflink slipped from his fingers.
00:46:56Jade. Shut up. I laughed through the tears and winked at him.
00:47:03Ethan didn't seem to care about the rumors, but the internet and his competitors did.
00:47:08Rival firms smelled blood and moved fast, coordinating with the media and calling board
00:47:13members directly, questioning whether Frost Capital could be trusted. That afternoon,
00:47:18Ethan called an emergency board meeting. I sat in the corner officially just observing.
00:47:22The atmosphere was even worse than last time. Two old guard directors slammed the morning paper on
00:47:28the table and came out swinging. Mr. Frost, Jade Summers has no background. All of Wall Street is
00:47:35laughing at us. Our partners are questioning if she's a corporate spy. You need to fire her immediately
00:47:42and hand her over for investigation. Ethan sat at the head of the table, turning a pen slowly between
00:47:48his fingers, the air around him freezing cold. Done. His voice was flat. He didn't even look up.
00:47:54Mr. Frost, watch your tone. This affects the entire firm. Ethan finally looked up, eyes empty and cold.
00:48:01He slid two documents across the table. These are records of the internal accounts you two leakered to
00:48:05a competitor. On the subject of spies, you two seem far more experienced than my advisor. Sign the resignation
00:48:11and share transfer papers now, or I call the Financial Crimes Unit in five minutes. Your choice. Less than two
00:48:17minutes
00:48:18later, both directors signed with shaking hands and left as fast as they could. The room fell
00:48:24deathly quiet. The remaining directors stared at the table like it was the most fascinating thing
00:48:29in the world. Ethan straightened his tie, signed the latest restructuring document with one smooth
00:48:35stroke and spoke calmly. Effective immediately, the senior director position is dissolved. Jade Summers is
00:48:41now my executive advisor, with authority equal to mine on all matters. I nearly jumped out of my seat in
00:48:46the
00:48:46corner. Okay, wow, that's a serious power move. But he fought that hard for me and didn't even ask
00:48:51if I wanted it. Sure, the position gives me better access to high-quality energy, but I was planning to
00:48:56stay low-key. This dominantic man. I want to wrap my legs around him and make him pay for it.
00:49:01Ethan went
00:49:02completely still at the head of the table. He set his pen down and looked straight at me across the
00:49:07room.
00:49:07You don't want it? Every director turned, completely confused about who he was talking to.
00:49:12My face burned. I forced a gracious smile. Of course I do, Mr. Frost. It's an honor to serve under
00:49:18you.
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. That evening, Ethan took me to a black-tie multinational
00:49:31finance dinner at one of Manhattan's most exclusive hotels. I ditched the conservative blazer and wore the
00:49:37red gown, deep V-neckline open back, thigh-high slit. The moment we entered the ballroom, every head
00:49:43turned. The contrast between my bold dress and Ethan's cold, untouchable presence was electric.
00:49:49The whispers about my mysterious past followed us. Before I could even take a sip of wine, rival
00:49:55executives approached with sharp smiles. Congratulations on the rapid rise, Ms. Summers.
00:50:01We've all been wondering, what exactly is your background that managed to captivate our famously
00:50:06unavailable Mr. Frost? All eyes turned toward us. I twirled my wine glass slowly, keeping a perfect
00:50:13polite smile while my succubus senses scanned the table. This one looks like an overfed French rye,
00:50:19energy level 2 at best. Looking at him longer should count as emotional damage. The rest of the table is
00:50:26even worse. Combined, they don't come close to one finger of my man. Across the table,
00:50:32Ethan's fingers tightened slightly around his glass the moment I thought, my man. He was clearly fighting
00:50:38a smile. Ethan lifted his glass to hide the small indulgent smile tugging at his lips. His dark eyes
00:50:47found mine across the room, sending heat straight through me. Nothing to say, Mrs. Summers? Could the media be
00:50:55right, that you have no real history at all? I was about to handle it my way when Ethan set
00:51:01his glass
00:51:01down. The entire room went silent. He stood, walked around the table, and stopped directly behind me.
00:51:08In front of every major player in Manhattan he laced his fingers through mine and held my hand tight.
00:51:13Does anyone here have a problem with what's mine? His voice was quiet but the word mine landed like a
00:51:20hammer. Hammer flashes exploded around us. Oh my god, that was the hottest thing I've seen in a
00:51:27thousand years. I'm in trouble. His energy is pouring into me and I need to drag him to the
00:51:35nearest bathroom right now. Ethan's grip tightened. He leaned down voice low against my ear. Jade, enough.
00:51:46The next morning, photos of Ethan claiming me publicly spread like wildfire across Wall Street.
00:51:52Frost Capital's official account then posted a rare personal statement confirming I was his full
00:51:56representative for all business and personal matters. The spy stories vanished overnight. I sat in
00:52:03Ethan's executive chair reading the flood of congratulatory messages when he appeared in the doorway, jacket off.
00:52:14I stood and wrapped my arms around his neck, pressing myself against him. Crisis handled. Time to
00:52:21deliver on my promise to drain him completely and make him beg. Right here. Right now. The thought hit
00:52:28him hard. His eyes dropped to the slit in my skirt. His control finally broke. He pressed me against the
00:52:34door and locked it. You've been driving me crazy with those thoughts every day. If you try to run
00:52:40now, you're not leaving this room for three days. His lips moved down my collarbone while his hands
00:52:47worked urgently at the red dress. His raw energy washed over me in powerful waves. I was losing control
00:52:54fast. He was definitely holding back before. This is too much. I'm not going to survive. Wait. He's
00:53:00actually tearing the dress. We're in the executive suite. There are people right outside this door.
00:53:06Survival instinct kicked in hard. I yelped, ducked, and slipped out of his grip, scrambling behind the
00:53:11desk. Mr. Frost, please control yourself. It's still business hours. If Leo walks in, we're both
00:53:19finished. I crouched behind the desk, trying to fix my ruined dress. Ethan stood against the door,
00:53:25chest heaving, staring at the spot where I had been. The vein in his temple pulsed. You spend every
00:53:30waking second fantasizing about this. But the moment it starts happening, you run faster than
00:53:35anyone I've ever seen. Are you torturing me on purpose? I stayed behind the desk and tried my most
00:53:43innocent look. I'm just being a responsible employee. Modern society values restraint and
00:53:49professionism. Okay, mostly I don't want to die of embarrassment. But what I just saw was terrifying.
00:53:56If we actually do this, he might break me. I'm genuinely not sure I'd survive. He heard everything.
00:54:02The panic and the helpless desire underneath. Some of the fury left his face. He exhaled,
00:54:08crossed the room and gently pulled me out from behind the desk. Instead of continuing,
00:54:13he carefully fixed the broken strap of my dress with surprising patience. I stared at his profile
00:54:18and felt my heart do things it had no right to do. This man isn't fair. Top-tier energy is
00:54:23one thing,
00:54:24but this? I've been doing this for a thousand years. I cannot be falling for a human CEO. I refuse.
00:54:30His hands stilled. He looked down at me with quiet certainty. Tonight, my place in the hills,
00:54:36were not in the office there. I 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. I stood in the grand marble entryway,
00:55:01giving myself a pep talk. Keep it together. This is just strategic energy access,
00:55:06nothing more. I'm not getting attached to a repressed CEO. I'm a cold-blooded sucker boss here for the
00:55:11buffet. I'm not getting domesticated. My suitcase suddenly lifted. Ethan had taken off his jacket.
00:55:18He carried my heavy bag with one hand like it weighed nothing. Strategic resource acquisition?
00:55:23I short-circuited. I always forgot he could hear everything. Can you let me finish a thought
00:55:27before you respond? He walked a few steps, then stopped and turned around slowly. His dark eyes
00:55:33held mine with complete certainty. Jade. Just my name low rough and warm. Like he had been saying
00:55:38it for years. My heart dropped. It's over. I'm completely done for.
00:55:45The first week at the estate wasn't the chaos I expected. Every night Ethan pulled me against his
00:55:51burning body, but outside of that he showed surprising restraint. That only made my instincts
00:55:56scream louder that something was wrong. He had been coming home later and later, holding closed-door
00:56:01meetings with Leo in the study. Every time I approached, the conversation died instantly.
00:56:06I leaned against the hallway wall, fruit plate in hand, spiraling.
00:56:11Does he think I'm too much trouble? Is he about to cut me loose at the next board meeting?
00:56:16Or has he already arranged with some secret lab to study me and lock me away in a cage?
00:56:22The study door opened. Ethan caught the full tail end of my spiral. His expression shifted rapidly.
00:56:29The vein in his temple throbbed. He took the plate from my hands, pulled me into the study,
00:56:34and pressed me against the desk. Jade Summers. Out of all the thoughts that run through your head,
00:56:41is even one of them capable of trusting me?
00:56:49I looked sideways, avoiding his eyes. I'm just reading the signs. The internet already says I'm
00:56:54nobody. You were gonna cut me loose eventually. Ethan laughed without humor. His fingers tightened
00:56:59on my waist, forcing me to meet his gaze. Cut you loose? Take a look at this.
00:57:05He dropped a thick legal document in front of me. The title was clear. Irrevocable Permanent
00:57:11Declaration of Asset Consolidation and Joint Equity. He had transferred half of all his core assets,
00:57:17including Frost Capital, into my name permanently. I couldn't speak.
00:57:21He just handed me half his life behind my back? On Wall Street, where everything is calculated.
00:57:28He split his entire fortune with a woman who barely exists? Is he insane? My eyes filled with tears.
00:57:35Ethan gently wiped the tear from my cheek. The media can't find your past. That's their failure,
00:57:40not yours. If 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. He gave me half of everything just because
00:57:55I was scared? This man must have some kind of beautiful brain damage. No brain damage.
00:58:01I snapped my head up and glared at him. Can you stop finishing my thoughts?
00:58:07Then stop thinking them so loudly. I took a deep breath and laid everything out.
00:58:12Ethan, I'm not from this world. I crossed over a few months ago. The person in those old photos
00:58:17isn't me. Every record I have here is fake. You just split your billion dollar empire with someone
00:58:21who doesn't legally exist? Are you actually crazy?
00:58:23Are you done?
00:58:24He leaned back, completely calm. First, I don't care if your identity is real.
00:58:28Second, I didn't do this out of pity. I did it because I wanted to.
00:58:32Third, you crossed over. That 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? This pure golden energy man just offered a suckvo a home. I want to rip his clothes off and
00:58:46destroy him right now. We're just employer and employee.
00:58:49As of now, we're full partners. And 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 mid-air, fingers scorching and precise.
00:59:00Jade, I don't care what abyss you came from. You're here now, on my turf. I'm not letting you starve,
00:59:07and I'm not letting anyone lock you away.
00:59:10His dark eyes burned with raw possessiveness.
00:59:12This isn't a transaction. It's a choice I'm giving you.
00:59:18That night, I didn't sleep at all. My 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
00:59:35Manhattan's most celibate man, completely wrapped around his finger.
00:59:39Did I completely flip the Succopore 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. The more I think about it, the hungrier I get.
00:59:55My 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. The moment I pushed the door open, I froze. Ethan stood at the counter in a loose
01:00:06black silk robe, collar open, warming milk. Moonlight poured through the window,
01:00:10highlighting his collarbone and the hard lines of his chest. That rich,
01:00:14intoxicating wave of pure masculine energy slammed into me. Figured you couldn't sleep.
01:00:19He turned, dark eyes carrying a lazy heat and handed me the warm mug. I swallowed hard,
01:00:23fighting the urge to lunge at him, and hesitated. You really don't mind? I'm not even human. And I
01:00:30constantly narrate every dirty thought I have about you. No one here knew the old me. Doesn't
01:00:36that make me some kind of dangerous freak? Ethan leaned against the counter and let out a low,
01:00:40rough laugh. You think someone who's heard every greedy,
01:00:43filthy, calculating thought people have since Yashday has any room to judge a straightforward
01:00:46little suck of her? He stepped forward, took the mug from my hands and set it aside.
01:00:52You're the cleanest thing I've ever met. You think it, you say it, at least in your head. You're hungry,
01:00:57you admit you want to devour me. You're scared, you admit you're scared. Even when you're trying
01:01:02to get in bed, you're completely honest. No games, no lies. He bent down, lips brushing my ear,
01:01:07breath hot and heavy. Jade, for me that's more than enough. Oh my god, this man who barely flirted in
01:01:14his life just said something ten times deadlier than any dirty line I could come up with. My legs are
01:01:19done.
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. I sat in my new executive
01:01:30office, tugging at my collar, replaying his low, burning voice from the kitchen. How does a man
01:01:35made of ice become even more dangerous when he gets warm? Did he secretly take an advanced
01:01:39flirting masterclass? My phone buzzed. Embarrassment shot through me. I jumped up and stormed down to the
01:01:47executive suite in my heels. Ethan Frost, can you stop eavesdropping on my thoughts every single
01:01:53second? Ethan looked up from his contracts, leaned back in his chair, tie perfect, expression cool and
01:01:58untouchable. When you think things that loudly, it's impossible to ignore. I fell apart. What do you
01:02:06mean loudly? I was just doing an objective review of your body from last night. What if I think about
01:02:10you locking that door right now and pressing me down on this desk? Is that loud enough? Three
01:02:15seconds later, Ethan set down his pen. He stood, shrugged off his jacket and locked the door with a
01:02:21click. Yes. He walked toward me with calm certainty and planted both hands on the desk, caging me in.
01:02:32We either quiet down in there or we handle it right now. I forgot how to breathe. My body melted
01:02:37against him even as I tried to keep up the act. What do you mean, handle it? Ethan lowered his
01:02:44head
01:02:44until his lips nearly touched mine, voice rough. For example, finishing what we started in the kitchen
01:02:49last night. This man is flirting while his ears are turning bright red. That contrast is criminal.
01:02:54It should be illegal. Jade, don't look at me like that. I can hear you.
01:03:01That evening, Ethan drove me to a quiet private restaurant in Manhattan. Candlelight, expensive
01:03:07red wine, no staff hovering. I wore a tight black slip dress. He had loosened his tie and undone the
01:03:14top
01:03:14button of his shirt. Without the tie, he looks a little less like a monk, but that tiny hint of
01:03:19recklessness makes him even more dangerous. That throat, that collarbone, he's perfect.
01:03:24Ethan's fingers tightened around his wine glass. Thank you for the review. I bit into my stake
01:03:30and shot him a look. I was thinking that in my head. I heard every word. I gave up fighting
01:03:36and
01:03:36slid my hand under the table, squeezing his thigh through his pants. Since you have a direct line to
01:03:42my brain, can you at least mute it sometimes? Give a girl some privacy? Can't turn it off.
01:03:51He poured wine and brought the glass to my lips, eyes dark in the candlelight. But I can promise
01:03:56not to take every wild thought you have seriously. Oh yeah? Which ones don't you take seriously?
01:04:00Like when you tell yourself every night that you're gonna get on top and drain me until I'm begging for
01:04:05mercy. I nearly choked on the wine. For the record, I meant every word of that. Ethan's hand froze,
01:04:11his eyes ignited with raw hunger. Is that so? Then starting tonight, I'm taking that thought very
01:04:16seriously. Is this man reverse trapping me right now? Yes. I laughed, equal parts delighted and
01:04:24furious and pinched his thigh hard. Ethan Frost, you're supposed to be Wall Street's coldest predator.
01:04:29When did you learn to talk like a damn romance hero? Ethan leaned across the table and caught my wrist,
01:04:35voice low and gravelly. I'm a businessman in the boardroom. But when it comes to you,
01:04:40I'm your man. And I plan on making every filthy idea in your head real. In bed.
01:04:46It's over. A thousand years of experience. And this human is about to take me down.
01:04:54The dinner lasted two full hours. By the end, my legs were weak from the constant wave of his energy.
01:04:59Ethan barely spoke, but his thumb kept tracing slow circles over my knuckles.
01:05:04Proper on the surface, but full of promise underneath. I set down my fork and stared at his
01:05:09handsome, cold face. I've always wondered. When exactly did you realize I wasn't human?
01:05:17Day one. The second you walked into my office.
01:05:21Day one? All you knew was that I had a very active inner mana law shock.
01:05:28It was more than that. He leaned back, exuding pure power. When you walked in,
01:05:34something about you felt different. I've sensed greed and corruption in people since I was a child.
01:05:41But with you, it was bold, yes. Your thoughts about me were wild. But your desire was pure.
01:05:51It wasn't until you screamed internally that you were a succubus that I confirmed it.
01:05:57So you knew I was some kind of energy-hungry creature who wanted to devour you and you still hired
01:06:02me?
01:06:03What kind of risk management is that? Ethan suddenly leaned across the table,
01:06:08gripped 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. You 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. I 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. I'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.
01:06:48We walked slowly down the quiet sidewalk. This might be the first time it's just us. No reporters,
01:06:53no drama. Just him walking with me like a normal boyfriend.
01:06:59What's the M for? I 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? No Harris's or models ever caught your eye?
01:07:14No. Then 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. He cradled the back of my head and tilted my face up.
01:07:22Because with you, I don't need experience. The second I hear your thoughts, I just know what to do.
01:07:28He kissed my forehead, then the bridge of my nose stopping just at the corner of my mouth.
01:07:34Let's go home.
01:07:37He said home. Not the estate. Home.
01:07:45My position as executive advisor grew stronger every day. The old board members now avoided eye
01:07:50contact when I passed. In public, Ethan remained the icy, lethal CO. But the second the office door
01:07:57locked, all that restrained power came rushing out for me alone. Like when he brought me warm
01:08:01milk late at night and just watched me with that hungry look. Like when I got caught staring at his
01:08:06body in a meeting and he abruptly ended a billion dollar call. Like waking up on the office couch
01:08:11wrapped in his jacket and his arms. How does he do it? Ice god in public and completely addictive
01:08:16behind closed doors. This breaks every law of biology. Ethan looked up from his reports.
01:08:21A faint glint of amusement in his eyes. Because you spend all day loudly complimenting my body in
01:08:27your head. My face burned. I do not. You just finished planning exactly which position you want
01:08:35to use tonight. To drain me completely. I gave up pretending. I walked over, straddled his lap and
01:08:41hooked a finger in his shirt. Since you hear everything anyway, this weekend. You and me at a normal movie
01:08:47theater. No suit. No Leo. No meetings. A real date. You in? Ethan's hand slid slowly under my skirt,
01:08:55resting on my inner thigh. Yes. As long as you don't run halfway through, I'll go anywhere with you.
01:09:05That Saturday, Ethan showed up in a black turtleneck and long coat,
01:09:09looking dangerously casual. Every woman nearby stared. I wrapped my arm around his, claiming him.
01:09:14Look at you, out of your suit and still causing chaos. Hearts are breaking left and right.
01:09:19The corner of Ethan's mouth curved slightly. I never cared before. But now I only wait for one
01:09:26person. I'm done. This ice prince saying sweet things so sincerely is more lethal than anything
01:09:32from the abyss. In the dark theater, his energy rolled over me in waves. Halfway through the movie,
01:09:38I put my hand over his. He turned his palm and locked our fingers together, tight and burning.
01:09:43By the time the lights came up, we were both breathing harder. In the lobby, I teased him
01:09:48lightly. Your palm was sweaty the whole time. Your body temperature was running higher than mine.
01:09:57That's because you had a death grip on my hand. Ethan pulled me out of the crowd,
01:10:00bent down, and brushed his lips against my ear. That'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. Leo drove in professional
01:10:14silence.
01:10:15Ethan, hypothetically, if there was no energy connection between us, would you still have kept me that first day?
01:10:24Yes. No hesitation. The moment you walked in, I saw your eyes. There was no calculation,
01:10:33no interest in power or money. You just looked at me like I was a person. He pulled me closer.
01:10:41In this city,
01:10:44no one has ever looked at me like that. My heart skipped. Even the man who owns Manhattan
01:10:55has been starving for something real. Leo stiffened visibly in the front seat.
01:11:01Leo heard nothing. Correct, sir. I heard nothing. In fact, I'm already drafting my resignation.
01:11:08You're not resigning. I'll increase your equity another half point. I buried my face in Ethan's
01:11:14chest and laughed until I shoved. Late that night at the estate, Ethan found me on the sofa,
01:11:21scrolling news. Don't waste energy on that garbage. He took my phone and pulled me against him.
01:11:28I'm worried. The resonance between us could drag frost. Capital down one day. Ethan hooked an arm
01:11:37around my waist and held me tight. The resonance isn't a curse. You're not draining me. It goes both
01:11:44ways. I need you too. You gave me something I never had. The feeling of being truly alive. You're scared
01:11:53I'll
01:11:53run to protect you. Yes, I'm scared. He admitted it straight, no shields. You were ready to disappear,
01:12:03alone to keep me safe. Jade, I don't need protection. I need you to stay right here with me. I
01:12:11wrapped my
01:12:12arms around his neck and bit down on his collarbone, leaving clear marks. Fine. If you want me to stay,
01:12:18promise me one thing. If the resonance ever acts up, you tell me immediately. No hiding. Ethan looked
01:12:27at the marks, then at my eyes and pulled me closer. Deal. I promise. The next afternoon, I walked into
01:12:36Ethan's office during a serious international video call. He hit mute, waved me in and pulled me into the
01:12:42chair beside him. He continued the call in fluent, ruthless German while I watched him work.
01:12:49Who would believe it? The hardest man in America is secretly this earnest guy who doesn't know how to
01:12:57say he loves me without looking lost. Ethan missed half a beat in his sentence, then recovered with icy
01:13:04precision and ended the call. He pulled off his tie and stood towering over me. Jade, you're getting
01:13:11bolder every day. What exactly did you just call me? I poked his leg with my foot innocently. I didn't
01:13:19say anything. His hand shot under the desk and gripped my ankle. You called me an emotionally stempid idiot
01:13:26who can't express himself. That was in my head. You can't punish thought crimes. Ethan leaned in,
01:13:32breath hot against my lips. You're right. I'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 suggested
01:13:47positions. Nothing's wrong. You 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 to.
01:14:06What's he been doing behind my back? He's been using every contact the Frost family has,
01:14:11top legal teams, private networks, even Washington, to research ways for non-human entities to gain legal
01:14:17identities. He's building you a complete, legitimate identity in this world. No more hiding. A real one.
01:14:26My throat tightened. He's been doing this quietly since I moved in. He never planned for me to stay in
01:14:33the shadows. Leo left. I stared out at the glittering Manhattan skyline, eyes blurring with tears. My phone
01:14:42buzzed. Not that many. It's the necessary investment of a husband. I 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. Come home. I'll walk you through everything in the penthouse.
01:15:04That night, Ethan took me to the new rooftop terrace overlooking the city. He handed me a
01:15:09glass of wine and stood at the railing in his white shirt. Where do you want to start, Mrs. Partner?
01:15:15I let my leg brush against his through the slit in my dress. Leo said you're building me a real
01:15:21identity? Independent? Legal? Do you actually think that's possible? On Wall Street, when I decide I want
01:15:28something, impossible doesn't exist. He stepped close, trapping me against the railing. The European
01:15:35trust structure is done. You'll be recognized as the heir of an ancient private dynasty. It's complicated,
01:15:40but it will hold. Why go this far? Hiding in your assets would have been safer for you.
01:15:44Because I'm done watching you think you belong in the shadows. And I'm not letting you keep one eye on
01:15:51the exit because you're scared of hurting me. He tucked my hair back, then pressed his fingers
01:15:56firmly against my inner thigh. That highest seat has always been yours. Not out of pity. You earned
01:16:03it. I'm completely done for. No succubus could resist a cold, celibate man who decides to love
01:16:08this obsessively. I dropped my glass, slid my hands into his collar and straddled his waist. Since your
01:16:15plan is this perfect, I think we've earned some very high returns. Up here, with no one to interrupt us,
01:16:20don't you think? That night on the rooftop, we lost ourselves in each other under the
01:16:27Manhattan skyline. Straddling him, taking everything he gave, I told him between broken
01:16:32breaths about my life in the abyss and how scared I'd been when I first crossed over. Ethan held my
01:16:38waist, eyes blazing. You're really not scared? In the abyss. All I thought about was draining men like you
01:16:46completely. He drove deeper, drawing a helpless moan from me. You came from there, but now you're in
01:16:54my bed. By normal logic, shouldn't you have called a priest to exorcite me? Ethan gave a rare wicked
01:17:02smile. Send you back so you can put your hands on some other man's body? Not a chance. He kissed
01:17:10my
01:17:10collarbone. It's complicated here. But you chose my company as your buffet. That means for the rest of
01:17:21your life, you only eat at my table. After a thousand years of hunger, this feels like like the luckiest
01:17:29detour in existence. Ethan went still, then laughed and gave my ass a sharp smack. In the middle of this,
01:17:36the best you can think is cosmically lucky. Try I'm the lucky one, 30 years old, and I finally found
01:17:45my little monster.
01:17:49Weeks later, the dust on Wall Street finally settled. Leo and the legal team completely
01:17:54dismantled the Cross Foundation's network. Warren got 12 years. Victoria got 3 years for defamation and
01:18:00illegal hacking. She wouldn't show her face in New York again. I watched the footage of her sentencing
01:18:06with zero emotion. Natural consequences. If she'd focused on doing her job instead of trying to
01:18:12destroy me, she'd still have a career. Speaking of the sofa, the leather is nice.
01:18:20But last week when Ethan had me pinned here and used his tide. Across the room, Ethan's pen nearly
01:18:26tore through the contract. He looked up slowly, eyes blazing with barely contained fire. Jade Summers,
01:18:34you've replayed last week on that sofa at least 10 times today. I tucked my dress lower and looked
01:18:39at him innocently while turning up the heat in my thoughts. So, quality control? And if I'm also
01:18:47thinking about a live demonstration right now on this sofa with the door locked. Ethan took a slow breath,
01:18:56stood and started unbuttoning his shirt, revealing hard lines of muscle. Then he drew his belt free.
01:19:04You are the highest level of trouble this office has ever seen.
01:19:12But since you've been sending that invitation all afternoon, if you even think about hiding under the
01:19:19desk again, you won't like what happens next. It's when the most controlled man in the world turns
01:19:27dangerous with a belt and that look. That's not a man anymore. That's a natural disaster. He pushed me
01:19:33down onto the sofa, pinned my wrists and wrapped the belt around them. He bit my lower lip voice wrecked.
01:19:38I heard that. Focus.
01:19:43Three months later, in deep autumn, the first snow fell on Manhattan. Ethan had bought a new penthouse
01:19:49with a breathtaking view over the city. I stood at the floor-to-ceiling windows when a hot,
01:19:54bare hand pulled me back against his solid body.
01:19:56New place. Do you like it? I love it. So, Mr. CEO, you bought the penthouse with this exact view,
01:20:04just to recreate our first real night together? Ethan laughed low, the sound vibrating through me.
01:20:08Not a recreation. I want every day you spend in this world to have this view,
01:20:13your city and mine, together. I turned, let my hand slide down his
01:20:17abs and hooked into his robe. One thing though, you've gone public with me,
01:20:21split your fortune, told the world I'm yours, and you still haven't given me one proper engagement
01:20:30ring. On human timelines, that's a violation. That bulletproof asset declaration outrangs any diamond.
01:20:36For a suckfa who only cares about energy, does it really matter? I thought stubbornly.
01:20:42Probably not. Because whether it's the assets or that insane body of his, I decided long ago I'm
01:20:49keeping both. For life. No returns. Heard every word. The last of his cool distance melted.
01:20:56He pulled out a small velvet box. Inside was a simple, elegant, antique silver band.
01:21:01Had it ready since the day you moved in. Last night, after you wore me out and fell asleep,
01:21:05I measured your finger. He slid the ring onto my finger with complete ownership.
01:21:09Perfect fit. Of course it is. This man is precise about everything. For the first time in forever,
01:21:16I didn't run. I rose on my toes and kissed him deep, real, and full of everything I felt.
01:21:22Ethan Frost. Thank you for finding a stray little monster and giving her a real reason to stay.
01:21:30Thank you for falling out of whatever clack in the universe you came from and landing in my office.
01:21:35He cupped the back of my head and kissed me back, deep and warm. Outside, snow fell quietly over the
01:21:42glittering city. After countless years of hunger, my soul had finally found home.
