The Icy CEO Heard My Filthy Thoughts, And Hired Me on the Spot! (Full Movie) English Sub

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

00:00:31thick 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

00:01:11little 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,

00:01:29one 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 ice

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

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

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

00:02:32fingers. He slowly lifted his gaze. This cold, dark eyes pinned me like a predator. His voice came out

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

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

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

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

00:03:00daily access to the most powerful source of energy I had ever felt. I had barely stepped out of his

00:03:06office when Victoria, the senior director, cornered me in the hallway. She looked at me like I was

00:03:11something filthy that had just crawled in off the street. She marched up in her sharp heels and shoved

00:03:16my shoulder hard. Button that collar all the way up. If I ever see you throwing yourself at Mr. Frost,

00:03:22you 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

00:03:40own him. 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

00:03:49to wrap myself around him, drain him with my mouth and hands until he has nothing left to give.

00:03:54A heavy footstep sounded behind me. Ethan stood just a few feet away in his perfectly tailored black

00:03:59suit, his 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

00:04:37of black coffee. The second I stepped through the door, that devastating masculine energy wrapped

00:04:43around me again. Hot and clean and way too close. It clung to my skin like a second layer. Ethan

00:04:48was

00:04:48leaning back in his chair, reviewing documents like nothing in the world could shake him. Shirt buttoned.

00:04:54Tie straight. Face cold enough to freeze over hell. But my eyes had no loyalty to my brain.

00:05:00They kept drifting lower straight to the tight stretch of his dress pants. That energy is so

00:05:05thick and pure it's making me dizzy. The way those pants hug him should be illegal. If he ever let

00:05:11loose

00:05:11on me, he would completely wreck me. God, I wanna- I was so busy staring that I completely missed

00:05:16the

00:05:17face beside me. My heel caught the edge of it and rolled. Ah! I lost my balance and pitched forward

00:05:22straight into him. The entire cup of scalding coffee splashed across his lap. Every single drop.

00:05:28A low, ragged groan tore out of him. The documents in his hand scattered all over the floor.

00:05:34My soul nearly left my body. I scrambled up, grabbed the tissue box off his desk and started

00:05:40frantically dabbing at his thighs. Mr. Frost, I'm so sorry. Please don't move. I'll clean it up.

00:05:46The second my fingers pressed against the soaked fabric, I froze. Even through the thin material,

00:05:51the heat under my hand was overwhelming. Hard. Tense. Very, very alive. My fingers started to shake.

00:05:58Wait. Is he getting hard? God, he's huge. Ugh. I just wanna rip these pants open and put my mouth

00:06:04onto his monstrous cock. Ethan's hand, which had been reaching for the tissues, stopped dead in

00:06:10midair. For one terrifying second the whole office went silent. Then his large burning hand came down

00:06:16on my lower back. He seized me and pulled me hard against his chest. My breath caught. His body was

00:06:22solid against mine, his breath hot and uneven on my face. That perfect frozen composure finally cracked,

00:06:28and what leaked through was dark, hungry, and dangerous. His voice dropped low. You really can't

00:06:34stop looking there, can you? His voice was low against my ear, and that thick, impossible bulge

00:06:41pressing against 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

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

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

00:07:29him

00:07:29was not a cute little workplace mistake. This could destroy my life. All my succubus confidence

00:07:34disappeared in an instant. Boom. 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. Ethan, 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.

00:08:21The 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,

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

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

00:08:45of ice water in her hands. She 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 plouse 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.

00:10:02Victoria 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, dark in 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

00:10:48here, putting herself on display and trying to make everyone uncomfortable. Ethan did not even

00:10:52look at her. He shrugged off his jacket, still warm and carrying that clean cedar scent, then stepped in

00:10:58front of me and wrapped it around my shoulders. The jacket swallowed me almost completely, cutting off

00:11:04every stare in the room. The second his warmth touched my skin, that rich, dangerous energy of his

00:11:09rolled over me. My knees nearly gave out right there. Without a word he took my wrist and led me

00:11:15out of the break room. No one dared to stop him. The moment we reached his office, he pushed the

00:11:20door

00:11:20open with one hard motion and pulled me inside. Then he locked it. The click of the lock went straight

00:11:26through me. Every bit of suppressed succubus instinct I had been trying to bury came roaring back to life.

00:11:31A locked door. Just the two of us. Oh I know exactly where this is going. He is going to

00:11:36push me against

00:11:37that floor to clearing window, tear off this ruined blouse, use that tie to trap my wrists, and punish

00:11:42me until I forget how to stand. Yes daddy. Punish me like I'm a bad girl. Ethan stopped. His back

00:11:48went

00:11:48rigid. For a moment, the office was so quiet I could hear my own heartbeat. Then a vein jumped at

00:11:54his

00:11:54temple and he took one slow breath like he was trying very hard not to lose control. When he turned

00:11:59around, his expression had gone dangerously still. The next second he crossed the room caught me by

00:12:05the waist and backed me against the window. His hands landed on either side of my head,

00:12:10caging me in completely. The glass was cold against my back. He was burning hot in front of me.

00:12:15His voice came out low restrained and rough around the edges. What exactly goes on in that little head

00:12:21of yours all day Jade? Pinned against the window by a man that tall, that close and that intense,

00:12:28I pulled my shoulders in and gave him my best helpless wide-eyed look. Mr. Frost, I wasn't

00:12:34thinking anything. I was just scared after getting soaked like that. Ethan let out a low, cold laugh.

00:12:40His fingers closed around my jaw and tilted my face up. His breath brushed over my lips,

00:12:46warm and dangerously uneven. He did not answer me. Instead his other hand went to his tie. He pulled

00:12:52it loose in one slow, deliberate motion like he had all the time in the world. Then he dropped it

00:12:57onto the desk. My pulse jumped. Then he undid the top two buttons of his shirt. That collarbone. That

00:13:04shadow beneath the open fabric. That hard, controlled body he kept locked away under expensive suits

00:13:09every single day. He stepped right into my line of sight and stayed there. This man was baiting me on

00:13:15purpose. I stared at his open collar and swallowed hard. My traitorous hand started rising on its own,

00:13:21reaching for that warm, firm chest like I had no survival instincts at all. Screw it. He started

00:13:27this. Just touching him would be worth it. My fingertips were one breath away from touching

00:13:38him. Then the alarm in my head screamed. Flashing lights. Cold handcuffs. Iron bars. A full criminal case

00:13:46with my name on it. Getting fired for touching a co-worker's abs was bad enough. Putting my

00:13:51hands on the CEO of Frost Capital, there was a life sentence in heels. Self-preservation kicked in.

00:13:57I snatched my hand back, ducked under his arm, and slipped away. Mr. Frost, my eyes are closed.

00:14:03I didn't see anything. Please keep your shirt on. I have absolutely zero inappropriate thoughts about

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

00:14:13rush of cedar and

00:14:14heat swept over me from behind. Ethan was suddenly there, his shirt still undone, one hand braced

00:14:20against the door, trapping me in place. His chest pressed close against my back, and his breath brushed

00:14:26over my ear. Zero inappropriate thoughts? His voice was low and rough, with an edge that left no room to

00:14:33hide. His fingers found my jaw from behind and turned my head, forcing my gaze back to the open stretch

00:14:39of

00:14:39his shirt and everything it revealed. How disappointing. I have plenty of dirty thoughts

00:14:45about you, Jade Summers. That line, spoken from that close, nearly made my succubus tail come out.

00:14:53I stood trapped between the door and his heat, completely unable to move. Just when I thought

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

00:15:03the pressure suddenly lifted. He reached into the pocket of the jacket wrapped around me and slipped

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

00:15:13gala. You're attending as my executive advisor. Go to this address today and get a gown. By the time

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

00:15:23Maybach pulled

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

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

00:15:35to the fitting area. She looped the tape around my chest, then drew it in at my waist.

00:15:40A second later, she gasped. Good lord, Miss Summers. These measurements are unreal. This kind of figure

00:15:47comes along once in a lifetime. She immediately pulled out a red gown, deep V-neckline, open back,

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

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

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

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

00:16:18this

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

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

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

00:16:38control in front of everyone at the gala, I would lose the job and then I would starve. I backed

00:16:42away

00:16:43from the dress like it had personally threatened me. Both hands clamped to my collar. No, absolutely

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

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

00:17:00curtain. 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

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

00:17:22a

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

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

00:17:33Mr. Frost, what are you doing?

00:17:35I swallowed hard. My palms were damp. Ethan set the gown aside and picked up the measuring tape.

00:17:41Drop 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 felt far too close to an embrace. His energy washed over me all at once, and my legs nearly

00:18:04gave out.

00:18:05Help. He is so close. He is so warm. This is going to drown me.

00:18:11Those shoulders, that waist, right here, within reach. I want to push him back against this mirror,

00:18:20tear that suit off him, and make him lose every bit of that perfect control.

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

00:18:30and 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

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

00:18:53over. I 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.

00:19:03For a second, my feet left the floor and my back hit the mirror with a low, solid sound.

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

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

00:19:18came out rough and absolute. Stop thinking about ruining me, and then running the second things get

00:19:25real. His grip tightened at my waist, firm enough to make it clear that this time he was not letting

00:19:30me slip away. Jade, you are wearing that red dress to the gala tonight. His eyes moved over

00:19:38my face, then 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, and people

00:20:00pretending they were not staring. We had barely made it through the entrance when Victoria appeared

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

00:20:11storage room at the end of the hall. Be useful and go get it, for him. I was lightheaded with

00:20:18hunger

00:20:18and too distracted to think clearly so I went. The moment I stepped through the old wooden door,

00:20:23the lock clicked shut from the outside. Heels clicked away into silence. Victoria, obviously.

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

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

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

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

00:20:53ear. That clean, intoxicating energy pouring off him and sinking into my skin.

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.

00:21:18How long are you going to 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. He moved closer. That overwhelming heat rolled over me,

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

00:21:36and he backed me into it with his body without ever fully touching where he should not.

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

00:21:46and far too steady. Then 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. Jade Summers,

00:21:57you've been undressing me in your head every day since the interview. Did you really think I

00:22:01couldn't hear you? From the moment you walked into my office on day one, every single word,

00:22:09I heard all of it. His voice was low and steady in the dark, but it carried a weight that

00:22:14made my

00:22:15knees want to give out. I stood there completely still, my mind blank. Day one? That means every

00:22:22thought? Every single insane thing I've been thinking about him? Every single one. He answered

00:22:29like he was reading from a file, his lips almost brushing my ear. Including... I want to tear him

00:22:37apart. My face burned with humiliation. I wanted the floor to open up and swallow me straight back

00:22:42to the abyss. 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

00:23:00away on instinct, but there was nowhere to go. The wall was already pressed against my spine. Still trying

00:23:06to run from me? There was something dangerous in his voice now. Not anger exactly. Something darker.

00:23:13Something tightly leashed. I wasn't running. I just... I mean... I could not form a proper sentence.

00:23:19My mouth was denying everything while my thoughts were already betraying me. I don't want to run.

00:23:24Ethan. I'm just scared. Scared of jail. Scared of losing this job. Scared I'll actually let him do

00:23:32whatever he wants. Ethan let out one quiet laugh. Jail? That is what you're scared of? His fingers

00:23:39caught my jaw and tipped my chin up. Those eyes were always so cold. Not now. Now they looked like

00:23:45they

00:23:45could burn me alive. You weren't scared when you were imagining my pants on the floor. And taking everything

00:23:52I have. My breath caught. That was private. Not to me. His thumb brushed along my jaw. Slow enough to

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

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

00:24:15I'm done holding back. I'm going to give you every filthy thing you've been begging for.

00:24:22My 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.

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

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

00:24:42was going through your head. I didn't send you away. I didn't let you go. I kept pulling you

00:24:47closer on purpose. His hand settled firmly on my waist. Strong but not forcing. Like he was giving

00:24:53me one 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

00:25:04hard. It was not tentative. It was not polite. It was not the careful controlled kiss of a man asking

00:25:10permission 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.

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

00:25:25his touch leaving heat everywhere it landed. I could not breathe. My hands found his shoulders on

00:25:30their own. Fingers digging into the expensive fabric of his suit jacket. This man cannot be real. No one

00:25:36this controlled should kiss like this. Ethan pulled back half an inch, his mouth still brushing mine.

00:25:41Stay with me. Then he kissed me again. Deeper this time. Slower. More deliberate. Like he had decided

00:25:48I was done running and he intended to make sure I remembered it. The storage room felt hotter by the

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

00:25:59inside of my thigh. The sound escaped before I could stop it. My whole body went soft against him.

00:26:05Ethan's breathing turned rougher. His hand moved higher, careful but devastating,

00:26:10stopping just short of the place that would have ruined every last bit of my self-control.

00:26:14Don'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

00:26:22the storage room door exploded inward from a single kick.

00:26:27Victoria'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

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

00:26:42senior executives, and half the gala with her. Her face was twisted with triumph,

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

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

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

00:27:01The flashlight swept wildly across the room. Then the beam landed on us. On Ethan. On me pressed

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

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

00:27:19shielding me from every stair in the doorway. His shirt was rumpled. His collar hung open.

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

00:27:30were burning now with something dark enough to make every person at that door 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. 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

00:27:53downfall. 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

00:28:10about to ruin, 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

00:28:26the crowd. Take her to accounting. Have her office cleared before midnight. Then make sure she never sets

00:28:32foot inside Frost Capital again. The corridor was so quiet you could hear champagne bubbles popping in the

00:28:39next 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

00:29:10shoulder 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 given

00:29:43up any pretense of being cold. We got interrupted earlier. His voice was rough and low, his breath hot

00:29:49against my face. We were way past pretending. He could hear every thought in my head. There was nothing

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

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

00:30:08I've had this whole time, haven't you? I've been holding back for weeks. Tonight I'm done holding back!

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

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

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

00:30:35Jade, if you say stop tonight, we're not stopping. He pulled me into a deep, demanding kiss. The man

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

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

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

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

00:31:03no

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

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

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

00:31:18to ceiling windows. I opened my eyes feeling like I had survived a wreck. Every part of me ached in

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

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

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

00:31:42my

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

00:31:47his solid chest. Complaining about me again? His voice was low, rough, and far too relaxed for a

00:31:53man who had ruined my dignity only a few hours ago. His lips brushed the back of my neck. Sounds

00:31:58like last

00:31:59night still wasn't enough. My whole body went tense. Ethan gave a quiet laugh and was already rolling me

00:32:05back toward him when every phone on the nightstand lit up at once. The mood snapped. In half a second,

00:32:11Ethan went from lazy and satisfied to ice cold. The temperature in the room seemed to drop 10 degrees.

00:32:17I leaned over to look. The financial gossip pages in 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. 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

00:32:49way out. Ethan stared at the screenshot. A vein throbbing in his temple. His grip on the phone

00:32:56so tight his knuckles turned white. He turned to me, his eyes burning with a mix of fury and something

00:33:01far more dangerous. You were terrified of the police. Scared I'd report you. That's because you actually

00:33:09almost got arrested. For this, isn't it? My stomach dropped. Mr. Frost, please hear me out. I had just

00:33:17arrived in this world. I was so starved I was about to lose my physical form. I only needed a

00:33:22little

00:33:22energy to survive, and that guy was barely worth anything. His energy was like a three out of ten.

00:33:27I barely touched his hand and HR was already dragging me out. He was a sad little street stack.

00:33:31You are a full five-bag course meal. Why the hell would I even look at anyone else after tasting

00:33:36you?

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

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

00:33:51somewhere else? How 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.

00:34:03Mr. Frost, Victoria and her father, Board Director Warren,

00:34:08have taken over the top floor conference room with six other board members. They've seen the

00:34:15morning news. They're claiming you're protecting someone with a sexual harassment record, and it's

00:34:22destroying the firm's reputation. Warren is demanding you hand over operational control right now.

00:34:28They've also called the police. Officers are already waiting in the lobby.

00:34:34The jealousy in Ethan's eyes turned ice cold in an instant. He threw back the covers and stood up,

00:34:40grabbing 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 after me

00:34:59is going to learn exactly what that cost them today.

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

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

00:35:13watching with barely hidden anticipation. Warren sat at the center, his pampered face arranged in

00:35:18smug confidence. Victoria was right beside her father. The second she saw me, she shot out of her chair.

00:35:24There she is. That 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. Look at these. Your precious new

00:35:35assistant is a predator. Because of her disgusting scandal, the company stock hit its lower limit this

00:35:40morning. Mr. 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. Every eye in the room turned on me like knives. Ethan sat at the head

00:35:51of

00:35:52the table, expression completely blank, fingers tapping slowly against the surface. The silence

00:35:57was suffocating. The 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. She stormed around the table in her heels and came straight for me,

00:36:08arm already swinging. You worthless little tramp! Let me do this company a favor!

00:36:15A sharp crack echoed through the room, but I was the one still standing. While everyone watched in

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

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

00:36:32twisted

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

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

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

00:36:50walked to

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

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

00:37:03Is that really worth calling the police? I dropped the photo directly onto Victoria's face.

00:37:10What's more interesting is you, Victoria. Last night, you paid a hacker to illegally break

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

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

00:37:28the

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

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

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

00:37:52real!

00:37:53I kept my expression calm while internally I was counting down. Three, two, one. Babe, your turn.

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

00:38:04going to

00:38:04find a delivery guy to feed on, and you can deal with the consequences. Though honestly,

00:38:09even when he's just sitting there looking serious, why does he have to be so damn attractive?

00:38:14I want to crawl into his lap and kiss him until he loses his voice. Ethan's fingers,

00:38:19which had been steadily tapping the table, suddenly stopped. A flash of something crossed his face.

00:38:24He shot me a quick look that clearly said, control those thoughts right now. His ear had gone

00:38:29noticeably red. He looked away, regained his composure and gave Leo a small nod. Leo stepped

00:38:36forward and pressed a button. The large screen came alive, showing every transaction Victoria had

00:38:41made 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

00:39:02privately. But don't forget that hundred billion cross-border acquisition, I brookered it. The other

00:39:06party trusts me and only me. He lifted his chin arrogantly. You move against us today and that deal

00:39:12vanishes immediately. 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,

00:39:31Warren's entire dirty hand was laid out in my mind like an open book.

00:39:35Hundred billion deal. Please. Sweetheart. This man has three mistresses. Four offshore properties

00:39:42in the Cayman Islands and Kyprus. Paid for with laundered money from this very deal.

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

00:39:54He moved 40 million into one of them just this month. At the head of the table,

00:39:59Ethan's fingers went completely still on the folder. He was receiving every shocking detail

00:40:05straight through my thoughts. He slowly raised his head. The way he looked at Warren now was

00:40:09pure predator. The look of someone who already knew every card on the table and found the whole

00:40:14game 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?

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

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

00:40:32The critical findings highlighted in stark red. Page after page of transactions,

00:40:37layered offshore shell company charts. Every thread leading back to one name.

00:40:41Ethan rose slowly from his chair, then slammed a thick stack of documents onto the conference table.

00:40:47Papers flew everywhere. Five years.

00:40:51400 million dollars. Every transaction, every count,

00:40:54every shell company named after your mistress. It'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. One by one, they quietly scooted their chairs

00:41:07back, desperate to distance themselves from the father-daughter disaster. Warren'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. I leaned against the table and watched Ethan backlit, spine straight, completely dismantling the

00:41:25old fox without breaking his sweat. I couldn't help myself. God, he's unreal. My knees are gone.

00:41:32There it is. My Secubia instincts are firing hard. I want to throw him down on this conference table,

00:41:38right now and ride him until he can't think straight. Ethan's posture stiffened slightly. At an angle no one

00:41:45else could see, the tips of his ears turned a deep red. He swung his head around and shot me

00:41:50a sharp

00:41:50look that said, control yourself right now. I stuck my tongue out at him. Just then, the conference

00:41:55room doors burst open. Several officers from the financial crimes unit walked in, faces grim and

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

00:42:05Come with us. The cold click of handcuffs snapped around Warren's wrists. Victoria went wild next,

00:42:11thrashing and screaming that I had done this to her. But two officers pinned her down and cuffed her

00:42:16anyway. The pair who had been untouchable minutes earlier were dragged out of the room like common

00:42:21criminals. Dead silence fell over the room. The remaining directors were sweating through their

00:42:26suits, barely daring to breathe. Ethan swept the room with a cold, measured stare. Does anyone here

00:42:32have a problem with Ms. Summers staying at this company? Every director shook their heads frantically.

00:42:37No problem. Absolutely none. We're done here. In under 10 seconds, every director bolted,

00:42:44clutching their files and nearly tripping over each other to get out. The moment the door clicked shut,

00:42:49Ethan grabbed the remote and locked the conference room doors. The floor-to-ceiling blinds descended slowly,

00:42:55cutting off every bit of the Manhattan skyline. The room went dark. I was reaching for my glass of water,

00:43:02still riding the adrenaline when Ethan crossed the room in long, powerful strides. His presence hit me

00:43:08before he even touched me, that rich cedar scent mixed with raw heat. He grabbed my wrist and pressed

00:43:13me hard against the edge of the conference table. Warren and Victoria's bill is paid. Now it's time to

00:43:19settle ours. He leaned down, eyes locking onto mine with intense focus. Answer me. How many guys abs have you

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

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

00:43:38was all it took. Whatever control he had left snapped. He grabbed me by the waist, lifted me off the

00:43:43ground

00:43:43and sent me down in the middle of the paper-covered conference table. Cameras are off. Now I want you

00:43:50to

00:43:50show me every dirty thought that's been running through that head of yours. All of it. He pressed

00:43:56forward and kissed me hard. Several hours later, after we had thoroughly used every inch of that

00:44:01conference room, an anonymous investigative report landed at a media office somewhere in New York.

00:44:06The document was clear. Jade Summers. No social records, no enrollment history, no employment trail before

00:44:13five years ago. Appeared 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

00:44:43bad. My five years ago, belonged to someone else's body in another life. There was no paper trail

00:44:49because there couldn't be one. Around 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. Ethan walked

00:45:00out holding a printed copy of the report, his expression ice cold. He didn't look at anyone else. He caught

00:45:06my wrist and pulled me straight into his private lounge. The door shut. He pressed me down onto the sofa,

00:45:12sat across from me and stared at the report in silence for a long moment. Here it comes. He's

00:45:17going to ask who I really am and how I appeared out of thin air. What do I even say?

00:45:22That I'm a

00:45:23suck-a-bore who needs men's intimate energy to survive? Is he going to think I'm a monster and try

00:45:28to

00:45:28lock me away? My mind was spiraling into disaster scenarios. Across from me, a vein ticked in Ethan's

00:45:35temple. He finally took a slow breath and set the report down. What do you want for dinner tonight?

00:45:40I froze completely. Every lie I had prepared got stuck in my throat. I just stared at him.

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

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

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

00:46:04can't sleep. The ones when you're panicking about prison. The ones where you imagine me locking you

00:46:09up. I heard all of it. He stepped closer and caged me against the sofa with his body. I know

00:46:14what you

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

00:46:20known all

00:46:21along and 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:47:07Rival 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,

00:47:17Ethan 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

00:47:28on the table and came out swinging. Mr. Frost, Jade Summers has no background.

00:47:33All of Wall Street is laughing at us. Our partners are questioning if she's a corporate spy.

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

00:47:44Ethan sat at the head of the table, turning a pen slowly between his fingers,

00:47:49the air around him freezing cold. Done.

00:47:51His voice was flat. He didn't even look up. Mr. Frost, watch your tone! This affects the entire firm!

00:47:58Ethan finally looked up, eyes empty and cold. He slid two documents across the table.

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

00:48:08you two seem far more experienced than my advisor. Sign the resignation and share transfer papers now,

00:48:13or I call the Financial Crimes Unit in five minutes. Your choice.

00:48:16Less than two minutes later, both directors signed with shaking hands and left as fast as they could.

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

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

00:48:33restructuring document with one smooth stroke and spoke calmly. Effective immediately,

00:48:37the senior director position is dissolved. Jade Summers is now my executive advisor,

00:48:42with authority equal to mine on all matters. I nearly jumped out of my seat in the corner.

00:48:47Okay, wow, that's a serious power move. But he fought that hard for me and didn't even ask if I

00:48:51wanted 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 completely still at the head of the table. He set his pen down and looked straight at me

00:49:06across the room. You don't want it? Every director turned, completely confused about who he was

00:49:11talking to. My face burned. I forced a gracious smile. Of course I do, Mr. Frost. It's an honor

00:49:18to serve under you. The tiniest smirk touched the corner of Ethan's mouth before disappearing behind

00:49:23his usual cold mask. The new title called for a new look. That evening, Ethan took me to a black

00:49:30tie

00:49:30multinational finance dinner at one of Manhattan's most exclusive hotels. I ditched the conservative

00:49:36blazer and wore the red gown, deep V-neckline opened back, thigh-high slit. The moment we entered the

00:49:42ballroom, every head turned. The contrast between my bold dress and Ethan's cold, untouchable presence

00:49:48was electric. The whispers about my mysterious past followed us. Before I could even take a sip of wine,

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

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

00:50:04background that managed to captivate our famously unavailable Mr. Frost? All 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 two at best. Looking at him longer should count

00:50:22as emotional damage. The rest of the table is even worse. Combined, they don't come close to one

00:50:30finger of my man. Across the table, Ethan's fingers tightened slightly around his glass the moment I

00:50:35thought, my man. He was clearly fighting his smile. Ethan lifted his glass to hide the small indulgent

00:50:44smile tugging at his lips. His dark eyes found mine across the room, sending heat straight through me.

00:50:51Nothing to say, Mrs. Summers? Could 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. The entire room went silent. He

00:51:04stood,

00:51:05walked around the table, and stopped directly behind me. In front of every major player in

00:51:10Manhattan, he laced his fingers through mine and held my hand tight. Does anyone here have a problem

00:51:15with what's mine? His voice was quiet, but the word mine landed like a hammer. Hammer flashes exploded

00:51:22around us. Oh my god, that was the hottest thing I've seen in a thousand years. I'm in trouble.

00:51:31His energy is pouring into me and I need to drag him to the nearest bathroom right now. Ethan's grip

00:51:37tightened. He leaned down, voice low against my ear. Jade, 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

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

00:52:07doorway jacket off. Comfortable in that chair? I stood and wrapped my arms around his neck,

00:52:17pressing myself against him. Crisis handled. Time to deliver on my promise to drain him completely and

00:52:24make him beg. Right here. Right now. The thought hit him hard. His eyes dropped to the slit in my

00:52:30skirt.

00:52:31His control finally broke. He pressed me against the door and locked it.

00:52:36You've been driving me crazy with those thoughts every day. If you try to run now,

00:52:40you'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

00:52:53fast. He was definitely holding back before. This is too much. I'm not going to survive. Wait,

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

00:53:04this door. Survival instinct kicked in hard. I yelped, ducked, and slipped out of his grip,

00:53:10scrambling behind the desk. Mr. Frost, please control yourself. It's still business hours.

00:53:17If Leo walks in, we're both finished. I 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. You 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. I'm just being a responsible employee. Modern

00:53:47society values restraint and professionism. Okay, mostly I don't want to die of embarrassment.

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

00:54:00I'd survive. He heard everything. The panic and the helpless desire underneath. Some of the fury left his

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

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

00:54:18his profile and felt my heart do things it had no right to do. This man isn't fair. Top-tier

00:54:23energy

00:54:23is one thing, but this? I've been doing this for a thousand years. I cannot be falling for a human

00:54:28CEO.

00:54:29I refuse. His hands stilled. He looked down at me with quiet certainty.

00:54:34Tonight, my place in the hills. We're not in the office there. I never said I was going home with

00:54:39-

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

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

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

00:55:02Keep it together. This is just strategic energy access, nothing more. I'm not getting attached to

00:55:08a repressed CEO. I'm a cold-blooded suck-a-boss here for the buffet. I'm not getting domesticated.

00:55:14My suitcase suddenly lifted. Ethan had taken off his jacket. He carried my heavy bag with one hand like

00:55:20it weighed nothing. Strategic resource acquisition? I short-circuited. I always forgot he could hear

00:55:25everything. Can you let me finish a thought before you respond? He walked a few steps,

00:55:30then stopped and turned around slowly. His dark eyes held mine with complete certainty.

00:55:35Jade. Just my name low, rough, and warm. Like he had been saying it for years. My heart dropped.

00:55:41It'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. I leaned

00:56:07against the hallway wall, fruit plate in hand, spiraling. Does he think I'm too much trouble?

00:56:13Is he about to cut me loose at the next board meeting? Or has he already arranged with some

00:56:18secret lab to study me and lock me away in a cage? The study door opened. Ethan caught the full

00:56:25tail end

00:56:26of my spiral. His expression shifted rapidly. The vein in his temple throbbed. He took the plate from my hands,

00:56:33pulled me into the study, and pressed me against the desk. Jade Summers. Out of all the thoughts that

00:56:40run through your head, is even one of them capable of trusting me? I looked sideways, avoiding his eyes.

00:56:51I'm just reading the signs. The internet already says I'm nobody. You were gonna cut me loose eventually.

00:56:57Ethan laughed without humor. His fingers tightened on my waist, forcing me to meet his gaze.

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. He just handed me half his life

00:57:23behind my back? On Wall Street, where everything is calculated. He split his entire fortune with a

00:57:30woman who barely exists? Is he insane? My eyes filled with tears. Ethan gently wiped the tear

00:57:36from my cheek. The media can't find your past. That's their failure, not yours. If they say you

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

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

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

00:57:59brain damage. No brain damage. I snapped my head up and glared at him. Can you stop finishing my

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

00:58:13I'm not from this world. I crossed over a few months ago. The person in those old photos isn't me.

00:58:17Every record I have here is fake. You just split your billion dollar empire with someone who doesn't

00:58:21legally exist. Are you actually crazy? Are you done? He leaned back, completely calm. First,

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

00:58:30I

00:58:31wanted to. Third, you crossed over. That makes this even simpler. He leaned forward, his presence

00:58:37overwhelming. If you have nothing in this world, then you need a home even more. Home? This pure golden

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

00:58:47We're just employer and employee. As of now, we're full partners and you're my fiance. I never agreed

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

00:58:57caught my wrist mid-air, fingers scorching and precise. Jade, I don't care what abyss you came from.

00:59:03You're here now, on my turf. I'm not letting you starve and I'm not letting anyone lock you away.

00:59:09His dark eyes burned with raw possessiveness. This 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. For a thousand years in the abyss,

00:59:23men were nothing more than quick snacks to me. When I crossed into this world,

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

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

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

00:59:43I was supposed to be the one running circles around him. How did I end up the one getting

00:59:48reeled in with property deeds and warm milk? This is dangerous. The more I think about it,

00:59:53the hungrier I get. My legs are going weak again. I tossed on the silk sheets until two in the

00:59:59morning,

01:00:00then gave up and headed to the kitchen for water. The moment I pushed the door open, I froze.

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

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

01:00:14intoxicating wave of pure masculine energy slammed into me. Figured you couldn't sleep.

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

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

01:00:29and I constantly 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, filthy, calculating thought people have

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

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

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

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

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

01:01:17dirty line I could come up with. My legs are done. I want him to pin me against this counter

01:01:21and take me

01:01:22right here, right now. The 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 from

01:01:34the kitchen. How does a man made of ice become even more dangerous when he gets warm? Did he

01:01:38secretly take an advanced flirting masterclass? My phone buzzed. Embarrassment shot through me.

01:01:45I jumped up and stormed down to the executive suite in my heels. Ethan Frost, can you stop

01:01:51eavesdropping on my thoughts every single second? Ethan looked up from his contracts, leaned back in

01:01:56his chair, tie perfect, expression cool and untouchable. When you think things that loudly,

01:02:01it's impossible to ignore. I fell apart. What do you mean loudly? I was just doing an objective

01:02:08review of your body from last night. What if I think about you locking that door right now and

01:02:12pressing me down on this desk? Is that loud enough? Three 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. 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.

01:02:55It 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 button of his shirt. Without the tie, he looks a little less like a monk, but that tiny hint

01:03:19of

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

01:03:25tightened around his wine glass. Thank you for the review. I bit into my stake and shot him a look.

01:03:31I was thinking that in my head. I heard every word. I gave up fighting and slid my hand under

01:03:37the

01:03:37table, squeezing his thigh through his pants. Since you have a direct line to my brain,

01:03:43can 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 going to get on top and drain me until I'm begging

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

01:04:11his eyes ignited with raw hunger. Is that so? Then starting tonight,

01:04:15I'm taking that thought very seriously. Is this man reverse trapping me right now? Yes.

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

01:04:27you're supposed to be Wall Street's coldest predator. When did you learn to talk like a

01:04:31damn romance hero? Ethan leaned across the table and caught my wrist, voice low and gravelly.

01:04:36I'm a businessman in the boardroom. But when it comes to you, I'm your man. And I plan on making

01:04:42every filthy idea in your head real. In bed. It's over. A thousand years of experience.

01:04:49And this human is about to take me down. The dinner lasted two full hours. By the end,

01:04:57my legs were weak from the constant wave of his energy. Ethan barely spoke, but his thumb kept

01:05:02tracing slow circles over my knuckles. Proper on the surface, but full of promise underneath.

01:05:07I set down my fork and stared at his handsome, cold face. I've always wondered, when exactly did you

01:05:15realize I wasn't human? Day one. The second you walked into my office. Day one? All you knew was

01:05:24that I had a very active inner mana law shock. It was more than that. He leaned back, exuding pure

01:05:31power.

01:05:32When you walked in, something about you felt different. I've sensed greed and corruption in

01:05:39people since I was a child. But with you, it was bold, yes. Your thoughts about me were wild. But

01:05:48your

01:05:48desire was pure. It 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

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

01:06:08and tilted my face up, eyes burning. The most desire I see is full of lie and power plays.

01:06:14Yours was honest. You wanted me because your instincts said so. That makes you more real than

01:06:20anyone who's ever walked through my door. Help. I spend all day mentally trying to get into this

01:06:26man's pants and he calls that clean and pure? My values are fine. I've just finally found the real thing.

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

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

01:06:50This might be the first time it's just us. No reporters. No drama. Just him walking with me like

01:06:56a normal boyfriend. Hmm. What's the M for? I heard everything you just thought.

01:07:05I laughed and leaned into him, going soft against his shoulder. Tell me, Mr. CEO, you've really never

01:07:11dated before? No Harris's or models ever caught your eye? No. Then how are you so good at all

01:07:16of this? You talk like you came with built-in charm software. Ethan stopped under a street lamp.

01:07:20He cradled the back of my head and tilted my face up. Because with you, I don't need experience.

01:07:25The second I hear your thoughts, I just know what to do. He kissed my forehead,

01:07:29then the bridge of my nose stopping just at the corner of my mouth. Let's go home.

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

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

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

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

01:08:02at night and just watched me with that hungry look. Like when I got caught staring at his body in

01:08:06a

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

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

01:08:17closed doors. This breaks every law of biology. Ethan looked up from his reports. A faint glint of

01:08:23amusement in his eyes. Because you spend all day loudly complimenting my body in your head.

01:08:28My face burned. I do not. You just finished planning exactly which position you want to use tonight.

01:08:36To drain me completely. I gave up pretending. I walked over, straddled his lap and hooked a finger

01:08:42in his shirt. Since you hear everything anyway, this weekend. You and me at a normal movie theater.

01:08:47No 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.

01:09:15Look 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. By the

01:09:44time the lights came up, we were both breathing harder. In the lobby, I teased him lightly.

01:09:50Your 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. Ethan, hypothetically, if there was no energy connection between us, would you still have

01:10:22kept me that first day? Yes. No hesitation. The moment you walked in, I saw your eyes.

01:10:30There was no calculation. No interest in power or money. You just looked at me.

01:10:38Like I was a person. He pulled me closer. In 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.

01:11:13I buried my face in Ethan's chest and laughed until I shook.

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. 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.

01:11:36Ethan hooked an arm around my waist and held me tight.

01:11:39The resonance isn't a curse. You're not draining me. It goes both ways. I need you too.

01:11:47You gave me something I never had. The feeling of being truly alive.

01:11:53You're scared I'll run. To protect you.

01:11:57Yes. I'm scared. He admitted it straight. No shields.

01:12:01You were ready to disappear. Alone to keep me safe. Jade, I don't need protection. I need you to stay.

01:12:10Right here with me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and bit down on his collarbone,

01:12:14leaving clear marks. Fine. If you want me to stay, promise me one thing.

01:12:21If the resonance ever acts off, you tell me immediately. No hiding.

01:12:26Ethan looked at the marks, then at my eyes and pulled me closer. Deal. I promise.

01:12:34The 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? The hardest man in America is secretly this earnest guy who doesn't know how

01:12:57to say he loves me without looking lost. Ethan missed half a beat in his sentence,

01:13:02then recovered with icy precision and ended the call. He pulled off his tie and stood towering over me.

01:13:10Jade, you're getting bolder every day. What exactly did you just call me?

01:13:16I poked his leg with my foot innocently. I didn't say anything?

01:13:20His 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.

01:13:31Ethan leaned in, breath 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 positions.

01:13:48Nothing'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?

01:14:08He's been using every contact the Frost family has, top legal teams, private networks, even Washington,

01:14:14to research ways for non-human entities to gain legal identities.

01:14:18He'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.

01:14:34Leo left. I stared out at the glittering Manhattan skyline, eyes blurring with tears. My phone buzzed.

01:14:46Not that many. It's the necessary investment of a husband.

01:14:50I laughed and cried at the same time. Can you please turn off the telepathy for five minutes, you compulsive

01:14:56eavesdropper?

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 glass of wine

01:15:10and stood at the railing in his white shirt.

01:15:12Where do you want to start, Mrs. Partner? I let my leg brush against his through the slit in my

01:15:18dress.

01:15:19Leo said you're building me a real identity? Independent? Legal? Do you actually think that's possible?

01:15:25On Wall Street, when I decide I want something, impossible doesn't exist. He stepped close, trapping me against the railing.

01:15:34The European trust structure is done. You'll be recognized as the heir of an ancient private dynasty. It's complicated, but

01:15:40it will hold.

01:15:40Why 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

01:15:50the exit because you're scared of hurting me.

01:15:54He tucked my hair back, then pressed his fingers firmly against my inner thigh.

01:15:58That highest seat has always been yours. Not out of pity. You earned it.

01:16:03I'm completely done for. No 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 and each other under the Manhattan skyline.

01:16:29Straddling him, taking everything he gave, I told him between broken breaths about my life in the abyss and how

01:16:34scared I'd been when I first crossed over.

01:16:36Ethan held my waist, eyes blazing.

01:16:40You'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?

01:17:00Ethan 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, this 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, and 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.

01:17:57Warren got 12 years.

01:17:58Victoria got three 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, she'd still have a career.

01:18:15Speaking of the sofa, the leather is nice.

01:18:20But last week, when Ethan had me pinned here and used his tide...

01:18:25Across the room, Ethan's pen nearly tore through the contract.

01:18:28He looked up slowly, eyes blazing with barely contained fire.

01:18:31Jade Summers, you've replayed last week on that sofa at least 10 times today.

01:18:38I tucked my dress lower and looked at him innocently while turning up the heat in my thoughts.

01:18:42So, quality control?

01:18:46And if I'm also thinking about a live demonstration right now on this sofa with the door locked.

01:18:54Ethan took a slow breath, stood and started unbuttoning his shirt, revealing 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, if you even think about hiding under the desk again...

01:19:21You won't like what happens next.

01:19:25It's when the most controlled man in the world turns dangerous with a belt and that look.

01:19:29That's not a man anymore. That's a natural disaster.

01:19:32He pushed me down onto the sofa, pinned my wrists and wrapped the belt around them.

01:19:36He 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.

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.

01:19:56New place. Do you like it?

01:19:59I love it.

01:20:00So, Mr. CEO, you bought the penthouse with this exact view, just to recreate our first real night together?

01:20:06Ethan 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.

01:20:15I turned, let my hand slide down his abs, and hooked into his robe.

01:20:18One thing, though. You've gone public with me. Split your fortune. Told 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.

01:20:33That bulletproof asset declaration outrangs any diamond.

01:20:36For a Sukfa who only cares about energy. Does it really matter?

01:20:41I thought stubbornly. Probably not.

01:20:44Because whether it's the assets or that insane body of his, I decided long ago I'm keeping both.

01:20:50For life. No returns.

01:20:52Heard every word.

01:20:54The last of his cool distance melted. He 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. Last 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. Of course it is.

01:21:12This man is precise about everything.

01:21:14For the first time in forever, I didn't run. I rose on my toes and kissed him deep, real,

01:21:20and full of everything I felt. Ethan Frost. Thank 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 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.

01:21:47People who died in the whole world, his way of being threatened to stay home.

01:21:47They had the great mishpudon and the other man could win the love for the future.

01:21:48the young men could never had been there for the first time to live.

01:21:48But that's what he did.

01:21:49The last one of those of those of those of those of those of those who jump out the other
