Short filmTranscript
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
00:00:49and raw sexual energy. The next I blinked and found myself dumped on a crowded street in New York City.
00:00:55This place is insane. The whole city reeks of lust, yet everyone struts around acting like
00:01:01they're above it, preaching self-control, purity and proper behavior. A few days ago I was so starved
00:01:06I could barely hold my human shape. All I did was run my hand over my co-worker's abs to
00:01:11steal a
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
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. It was 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. I stood there completely stunned. You really just hired me?
00:02:53After I had mentally stripped him naked and imagined riding him senseless? Not that I was complaining.
00:02:59This job gave me legitimate, daily access to the most powerful source of energy I had ever felt.
00:03:04I had barely stepped out of his office when Victoria, the senior director, cornered me in the hallway.
00:03:10She looked at me like I was something filthy that had just crawled in off the street.
00:03:14She marched up in her sharp heels and shoved my shoulder hard. Button that collar all the way up.
00:03:19If I ever see you throwing yourself at Mr. Frost, you won't even make it through tomorrow. Do you
00:03:25understand me? I let myself stumble back and quickly put on my most innocent, obedient face.
00:03:31Of course, director. I'll be completely professional. But inside, my succubus side was burning with contempt.
00:03:37Throwing myself at him? Please. You look at him like you own him. You have no idea how good it
00:03:42feels to be
00:03:43flooded with that kind of raw, masculine energy. It would probably kill you. A body like his deserves
00:03:47to be claimed every single day. I want to wrap myself around him, drain him with my mouth and
00:03:52hands until he has nothing left to give. A heavy footstep sounded behind me. Ethan stood just a few
00:03:57feet away in his perfectly tailored black suit, his presence filling the hallway. His dark,
00:04:02intense eyes were locked directly on my face. Victoria spun around instantly, flashing a sweet,
00:04:08adoring smile. Mr. Frost. I was just giving the new assistant some orientation on proper office
00:04:14standards, making sure the wrong kind of woman doesn't cause you any problems. Ethan ignored her
00:04:19completely. His gaze never left me. I watched his throat tighten as he swallowed slowly, something dark
00:04:25and heated flashing in his eyes. His voice came out low and commanding. Coffee. Now.
00:04:34Five minutes later, I walked into the CEO's office with a cup of black coffee. The second I stepped
00:04:39through the door, that devastating masculine energy wrapped around me again, hot and clean and way too
00:04:45close. It clung to my skin like a second layer. Ethan was leaning back in his chair, reviewing documents
00:04:51like nothing in the world could shake him. Shirt buttoned, tie straight, face cold enough to freeze
00:04:57over hell. But my eyes had no loyalty to my brain. They kept drifting lower, straight to the tight stretch
00:05:02of his dress pants. That energy is so thick and pure, it's making me dizzy. The way those pants hug
00:05:09him
00:05:09should be illegal. If he ever let loose on me, he would completely wreck me. God, I want to-
00:05:14I was so busy staring that I completely missed the face beside me. My heel caught the edge of it
00:05:19and rolled.
00:05:20Ah! I lost my balance and pitched forward straight into him. The entire cup of scalding coffee splashed
00:05:25across his lap. Every single drop. A low, ragged groan tore out of him. The documents in his hands scattered
00:05:33all over the floor. My soul nearly left my body. I scrambled up, grabbed the tissue box off his desk
00:05:39and started
00:05:40frantically dabbing at his thighs. Mr. Frost, I'm so sorry. Please don't move. I'll clean it up. The second my
00:05:47fingers
00:05:47pressed against the soaked fabric, I froze. Even through the thin material, the heat under my hand was overwhelming.
00:05:53Hard. Tense. Very, very alive. My fingers started to shake. Wait, is he getting hard? God, he's huge!
00:06:01Ugh! I just want to rip these pants open and put my mouth onto his monstrous cock!
00:06:06Ethan's hand, which had been reaching for the tissues, stopped dead in midair. For one terrifying
00:06:12second, the whole office went silent. Then his large burning hand came down on my lower back. He seized me
00:06:18and pulled me hard against his chest. My breath caught. His body was solid against mine, his breath
00:06:24hot and uneven on my face. That perfect frozen composure finally cracked, and what leaked through
00:06:29was dark, hungry, and dangerous. His voice dropped low. You really can't stop looking there, can you?
00:06:37His voice was low against my ear, and that thick, impossible bulge pressing against me was impossible
00:06:43to ignore. My succubus control was hanging by a thread. This man was plain dirty. And the worst part
00:06:49was, I was almost sure he knew it. I swallowed hard my whole body going soft against him. My arms
00:06:55slid
00:06:55around his neck before my brain could stop them. I leaned in, lips parting, the tip of my tongue just
00:07:00barely brushing out. One more inch. Just one. Then the memory hit me like a fire alarm. HR dragging me
00:07:07out
00:07:07of my last job in front of everyone. Security watching me like I was dangerous. The threat of
00:07:12handcuffs, police, and a permanent record, all because I touched a co-worker's abs when I was
00:07:17starving. My blood went cold. This was not some random office. This was the CEO's office in New York.
00:07:24And this was Ethan Frost, one of the most powerful men in the country. Throwing myself at him was not
00:07:29a
00:07:29cute little workplace mistake. This could destroy my life. All my succubus confidence disappeared in an
00:07:35instant. Oh. I came here to survive, not to end up in prison. I shoved him back with a sudden
00:07:41burst
00:07:41of strength, slipped out of his arms, and dropped hard onto the floor. Mr. Frost, I'm so sorry. I swear
00:07:48I'm a respectable woman. I just slipped. That's all. I wasn't trying anything. Please don't call the
00:07:54police. I'm not some kind of predator. I fumbled with the door, yanked it open, and ran. But as the
00:08:00door swung shut behind me, I caught one last glimpse through the narrow crack. The, the famously
00:08:05celibate, untouchable ice prince, was still standing exactly where I had left him. His shirt was
00:08:11wrinkled. His breathing was rough. His hands were empty, like he had not expected me to escape.
00:08:17And the look in his eyes was not anger. It was hunger. The kind that made my knees weak even
00:08:22from the other side of the door. That afternoon I went to the break room to get some water and
00:08:28calm
00:08:28myself down. The coffee disaster was still replaying in my head, along with Ethan's hand on my waist,
00:08:34his rough breathing, and the way he had looked at me before I ran. I needed water. Possibly an
00:08:40exorcism. The second I turned around Victoria was walking straight toward me with a full basin of
00:08:45ice water in her hands. He stopped right in front of me, a small vicious smile tugging at her lips.
00:08:52Then she let her foot slip on purpose. The entire basin came crashing down over me. Ice water soaked
00:08:58through my thin white blouse in seconds. The fabric turned almost transparent, clinging to every curve
00:09:03and leaving far too much on display. Co-workers rushed over from every direction.
00:09:08Seriously? 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, 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.
00:09:30Everyone seeing this? Our new secretary shows up on day one with lingerie under a white plouse and
00:09:36expects us to believe she is here for spreadsheets? I hugged my soaked blouse to my chest, shivering.
00:09:41This is his frost capital, not some club bathroom. I'm reporting you to HR myself. Enjoy your last day.
00:09:46I lowered my eyes, looking weak and humiliated. Inside I was burning.
00:09:50Get me fired? Go ahead and try. If Ethan sees me like this, he won't be able to look away
00:09:54for days.
00:09:55This body was made to drive a man like him wild. I could wrap myself around him and drain every
00:09:59last
00:09:59drop he has. You're nothing compared to that. Victoria took my silence for fear and reached
00:10:04for my wet collar. What, nothing to say now? You were so good at playing innocent earlier.
00:10:09Come on, let everyone see what kind of professional you really are.
00:10:13The 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
00:10:30long second, he said nothing. His jaw tightened and his throat moved once hard. Those eyes usually
00:10:36cold enough to keep the whole office at a distance, dark in the moment they saw me. Mr. Frost, look
00:10:42at
00:10:43her. I don't know what kind of stunt she pulled to end up like this, but she's been standing here,
00:10:48putting herself on display and trying to make everyone uncomfortable. Ethan did not even look
00:10:53at 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
00:11:14me out of the break room. No one dared to stop him. The moment we reached his office, he pushed
00:11:20the door
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
00:11:36against that floor to cleaning window, tear off this ruined blouse, use that tie to trap my wrists
00:11:41and punish me until I forget how to stand. Yes, daddy. Punish me like I'm a bad girl.
00:11:46Ethan stopped. His back went rigid. For a moment, the office was so quiet I could hear my own heartbeat.
00:11:53Then a vein jumped at his temple and he took one slow breath like he was trying very hard not
00:11:57to
00:11:58lose control. When he turned around, his expression had gone dangerously still. The next second he crossed
00:12:04the room caught me by the waist and backed me against the window. His hands landed on either
00:12:09side of my head, caging me in completely. The glass was cold against my back. He was burning hot in
00:12:15front of me. His voice came out low, restrained and rough around the edges. What exactly goes on
00:12:20in that little head of yours all day, Jade? Pinned against the window by a man that tall, that close
00:12:27and that intense, I pulled my shoulders in and gave him my best helpless, wide-eyed look.
00:12:32Mr. Frost, I wasn't thinking anything. I was just scared after getting soaked like that.
00:12:38Ethan let out a low, cold laugh. His fingers closed around my jaw and tilted my face up.
00:12:44His breath brushed over my lips, warm and dangerously uneven. He did not answer me. Instead,
00:12:50his other hand went to his tie. He pulled it loose in one slow, deliberate motion like he had all
00:12:55the
00:12:55time in the world. Then he dropped it onto the desk. My pulse jumped. Then he undid the top two
00:13:00buttons of his shirt. That collarbone. That shadow beneath the open fabric. That hard,
00:13:06controlled body he kept locked away under expensive suits every single day. He stepped right into my
00:13:11line of sight and stayed there. This man was baiting me on purpose. I stared at his open collar and
00:13:17swallowed hard. My traitorous hand started rising on its own, reaching for that warm, firm chest like I
00:13:23had no 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.
00:13:47Getting fired for touching a co-worker's abs was bad enough. Putting my hands on the CEO of Frost Capital,
00:13:53there was a life sentence in heels. Self-preservation kicked in. I snatched my hand back,
00:13:58ducked under his arm, and slipped away. Mr. Frost, my eyes are closed. I didn't see anything. 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
00:14:39of his shirt and everything it revealed. How disappointing. I have plenty of dirty thoughts
00:14:45about 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
00:15:03lifted. 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. You're
00:15:13attending as my executive advisor. Go to this address today and get a gown. By the time I made
00:15:18it back to my desk, the note was still warm in my palm. The next evening, a black Maybach pulled
00:15:24up
00:15:24smoothly 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. A second
00:15:40later, she gasped. Good lord, Miss Summers. These measurements are unreal. This kind of figure comes
00:15:47along once in a lifetime. She immediately pulled out a red gown, deep V-neckline, open back, a slit
00:15:54that started high on the thigh. I recommend this one. Wear this tonight, and you'll be the best thing
00:16:00that ever happened, to Frost Capital's public image. I stared at that gorgeous, barely there piece of
00:16:06fabric, 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. If he lost
00:16:38control in front of everyone at the gala, I would lose the job and then I would starve.
00:16:42I backed away from the dress like it had personally threatened me, both hands clamped to my collar.
00:16:47No, 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
00:16:59heavy fitting room curtain. Ethan had appeared on the other side, perfectly dressed, perfectly
00:17:04composed and somehow right there. He glanced at the manager, his expression unreadable.
00:17:09Give us a moment.
00:17:11The manager blinked, bowed and quickly slipped out. Ethan walked into the fitting area and picked up
00:17:17the red gown. The heavy curtain swept shut behind him. Now it was just the two of us in a
00:17:22very small
00:17:22space. The air seemed to thicken. He moved toward me one step at a time, his tall frame carrying the
00:17:29full weight of his presence, until my back pressed against the full-length mirror.
00:17:33Mr. Frost, what are you doing? I swallowed hard. My palms were damp. Ethan set the gown aside and
00:17:40picked up the measuring tape. Drop 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
00:17:58way that felt far too close to an embrace. His energy washed over me all at once and my legs
00:18:03nearly gave
00:18:04out. Help. He is so close. He is so warm. This is going to drown me. Those shoulders, that waist,
00:18:14right here, within reach.
00:18:17I want to push him back against this mirror, tear that suit off him, and make him lose every bit
00:18:23of
00:18:23that perfect control. Ethan'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. Jade, let me find out for myself exactly
00:18:38how
00:18:40extraordinary you are. His hand moved slowly up my back. The other cradled the back of my head.
00:18:45His face tilted closer, and his lips were one second away from mine. One second before contact, the coward in
00:18:52me
00:18:52took over. 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
00:18:59get away. His arm caught my waist and pulled me back hard against him. For a second, my feet left
00:19:05the floor
00:19:05and my back hit the mirror with a low, solid sound. His chest was pressed against mine with no space
00:19:11between us at all. Those dark eyes were done pretending. Every bit of restraint he had been wearing like a
00:19:16second suit was gone. His voice came out rough and absolute. Stop thinking about ruining me, and then running
00:19:24the second things get real. His grip tightened at my waist, firm enough to make it clear that this
00:19:29time, he was not letting me slip away. Jade, you are wearing that red dress to the gala tonight.
00:19:37His eyes moved over my face, then lowered briefly to the gown beside us. Because right now, I want to
00:19:46see 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 and too
00:20:19distracted to think clearly so I went. The moment I stepped through the old wooden door, the lock clicked
00:20:24shut from the outside. Heels clicked away into silence. Victoria, obviously. The storage room had no windows
00:20:31and no ventilation. It was dark, cramped, and sweltering, like I had been sealed inside an oven. In that kind
00:20:37of
00:20:38heat with my body already starving, my succubus instincts kicked into full overdrive. The hunger
00:20:43rose from somewhere deep inside me, burning through my veins, turning my legs weak. All I could think
00:20:49about was the fitting room. Ethan's arms around my waist. His breath at my ear. That clean, intoxicating
00:20:55energy pouring off him and sinking into my skin. I just need him to hold me right now. That's it.
00:21:01Just hold me. If he came through that door and completely took me over, I don't know how much
00:21:07longer 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 to keep driving me crazy
00:21:20like
00:21:20this, Jade? Mr. 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, and he backed me into
00:21:37it with his body without ever fully touching where he should not. In the dark, he leaned down until his
00:21:42nose almost brushed mine. His voice was low, rough, and far too steady. Then he repeated my own thoughts
00:21:48back to me, word for word, calm and merciless. I couldn't stop imagining Ethan's thick cock pushing
00:21:54against my pussy. Jade Summers, you've been undressing me in your head every day since the interview.
00:22:00Did you really think I couldn't hear you? From the moment you walked into my office on day one,
00:22:07every single word, I heard all of it. His voice was low and steady in the dark, but it carried
00:22:14a weight
00:22:14that made my knees want to give out. I stood there completely still, my mind blank. Day one?
00:22:21That means every thought? Every single insane thing I've been thinking about him?
00:22:27Every single one. He answered like he was reading from a file, his lips almost brushing my ear.
00:22:33Including? I want to tear him apart. My face burned with humiliation. I wanted the floor to open up
00:22:41and swallow me straight back to the abyss. A thousand years of dignity. Gone. Destroyed in
00:22:47one storage. Heard that too. His breath scorched my skin as he pressed closer. Through the thin fabric
00:22:53of his dress pants, I could feel the unmistakable heat and hard shape of him pushing firmly against
00:22:58me. I tried to back away on instinct, but there was nowhere to go. The wall was already pressed against
00:23:04my spine. Still trying to run from me? There was something dangerous in his voice now. Not anger
00:23:10exactly. Something darker. Something tightly leashed. I wasn't running. I just, I mean... I could not form a
00:23:18proper sentence. My mouth was denying everything while my thoughts were already betraying me.
00:23:23I don't want to run. I'm just scared. Scared of jail. Scared of losing this job. Scared I'll actually let
00:23:32him do whatever he wants. Ethan let out one quiet laugh. Jail? That is what you're scared of?
00:23:38His fingers caught my jaw and tipped my chin up. Those eyes were always so cold. Not now. Now they
00:23:45looked like they could burn me alive. You weren't scared when you were imagining my pants on the floor
00:23:50and taking everything I have. My breath caught. That was private. Not to me. His thumb brushed along
00:23:58my jaw. Slow 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. 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. 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 through
00:24:43your head. I didn't send you away. I didn't let you go. I kept pulling you closer on purpose.
00:24:48His hand settled firmly on my waist, strong but not forcing. Like he was giving me one final chance
00:24:54to back out. Ask yourself why. I opened my mouth but no words came out. Why? Unless you actually want
00:25:01me just as badly? There it is. Then he pulled me in and kissed me hard. It was not tentative.
00:25:06It was
00:25:07not polite. It was not the careful, controlled kiss of a man asking permission with every breath.
00:25:12It was hunger finally breaking through restraint. Weeks of cold composure cracked open all at once,
00:25:17and the man underneath was anything but calm. One hand held the back of my head, keeping me from
00:25:22retreating. The other traced my waist, his touch leaving heat everywhere it landed. I could not
00:25:28breathe. My hands found his shoulders on their own, fingers digging into the expensive fabric of his
00:25:33suit jacket. This man cannot be real. No one this controlled should kiss like this. Ethan pulled back
00:25:39half an inch, his mouth still brushing mine. Stay with me. Then he kissed me again. Deeper this time.
00:25:45Slower. More deliberate. Like he had decided I was done running, and he intended to make sure I
00:25:51remembered it. The storage room felt hotter by the second. His hand found the slit of my red dress and
00:25:56slipped beneath the fabric, his fingers grazing the inside of my thigh. The sound escaped before I
00:26:02could stop it. My whole body went soft against him. Ethan's breathing turned rougher. His hand moved
00:26:08higher, careful but devastating, stopping just short of the place that would have ruined every last bit of
00:26:13my self-control. Don't stop. Please don't stop now. His fingers tightened slightly against my thigh.
00:26:19I heard that. His hand was just about to move again when the storage room door exploded inward
00:26:24from a single kick. Victoria's voice rang down the entire corridor. Everyone, get over here. I found
00:26:32her. Frost Capital's new assistant is locked in a storage room during a company gala with some random
00:26:36man. Security, get them out here now. Victoria had brought security guards, senior executives,
00:26:43and half the gal with her. Her face was twisted with triumph, like she had been waiting all night
00:26:48to turn one private mistake into a public scandal. This is exactly what I warned you about. She is a
00:26:53liability. She 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.
00:27:05On 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 stare in the doorway. His shirt was rumpled.
00:27:23His collar hung open. His 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?
00:27:42Mr. Mr. Frost?
00:27:43Her legs gave out. She dropped straight to the floor, her face white as paper. She had spent the
00:27:49whole night setting a trap for me. She had dragged half the company here to watch my downfall. But she
00:27:54never imagined the man she would catch with me would be Ethan Frost himself. I stayed tucked against
00:27:59Ethan's chest, feeling his heartbeat under my cheek. And for once I did not even try to hide my
00:28:05satisfaction. Well, surprise Victoria, you tried to ruin my night, and now he's about to ruin, ruin,
00:28:11your entire career. Honestly I could not have planned it better myself. Ethan's arm tightened
00:28:16possessively around my waist. He looked down at the woman collapsed on the floor with total
00:28:21indifference, his voice cold and final. He looked toward Leo, who had just pushed through the crowd.
00:28:27Take 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
00:28:39the next room. Victoria was still screaming as security dragged her away. Mr. Frost! You can't fire me over
00:28:47this! That little slut sedust you! You're not thinking clearly because of her! Her voice faded toward the
00:28:55elevator bank, then disappeared. Ethan did not even look in her direction. He bent down, scooped me up over
00:29:01his shoulder like I weighed nothing and started walking. Mr. Frost! Put me down! I can walk! I hung upside
00:29:08down
00:29:08against his back, half-heartedly patting his shoulder blades. He didn't stop. He carried me straight
00:29:14through the executive corridor and up to the penthouse suite at the top of the building. The
00:29:18suite door flew open with one powerful kick. Then it slammed shut and locked. The world spun,
00:29:24and I landed on the enormous soft bed, somewhere between being thrown and placed. Before I could even
00:29:30sit up Ethan came down over me all that intense controlled power aimed straight at my body. His tie was
00:29:35already in his hand. He dropped it to the floor. Both palms pressed into the mattress on either side
00:29:40of my head, and those dark eyes had completely given up any pretense of being cold. We got interrupted
00:29:46earlier. His voice was rough and low, his breath hot against my face. We were way past pretending. He
00:29:53could hear every thought in my head. There was nothing left to hide. Something inside me finally broke.
00:29:58I reached up, grabbed his collar, and looked him straight in the eyes. We barely got started. You've
00:30:05been listening to every dirty thought. I've had this whole time, haven't you? I've been holding back for
00:30:13weeks. Tonight 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
00:30:52man 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
00:31:21I had survived a wreck. Every part of me ached in ways that were far too specific to ignore. Cold,
00:31:26restrained, and completely uninterested in women? What? What a joke. I am a thousand-year-old suffogos
00:31:34who came to this world to feed on men, and last night I was the one who had to tap
00:31:38out. The humiliation
00:31:40is unreal. I had barely finished my internal rant when a strong warm arm wrapped around me from
00:31:45behind and 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.
00:32:13The temperature in the room seemed to drop 10 degrees. I leaned over to look. The financial
00:32:19gossip pages in social media had exploded. Frost Capital's new female assistant has a history of
00:32:24workplace sexual harassment. Woman accused of touching multiple male co-workers at previous firm,
00:32:30nearly arrested. The article included a clear surveillance photo. Me. My very first day in this
00:32:36world. Hands slipped inside a co-worker's shirt. Right below it was the official termination notice
00:32:42from my old job. The evidence looked damning. I went completely rigid. Victoria's final parting gift?
00:32:48She must have leaked it on her way out. Ethan stared at the screenshot. A vein throbbing in his temple,
00:32:55his grip on the phone so tight his knuckles turned white. He turned to me, his eyes burning with a
00:33:00mix of
00:33:01fury and something far more dangerous. You were terrified of the police. Scared I'd report you.
00:33:07That's because you actually almost got arrested. For this, isn't it?
00:33:13My stomach dropped. Mr. Frost, please hear me out. I had just arrived in this world. I was so starved
00:33:19I
00:33:19was about to lose my physical form. I only needed a little energy to survive, and that guy was barely
00:33:24worth anything. His energy was like a three out of ten. I barely touched his hand and HR was already
00:33:29dragging me out. He was a sad little street stack. You are a full five-beg course meal. Why the
00:33:34hell
00:33:34would I even look at anyone else after tasting you? The murderous look on Ethan's face faltered for just
00:33:39a second. The jealousy in his eyes didn't fade. If anything, it burned even hotter. He let out a sharp,
00:33:46humorless laugh and moved toward me. So what you're saying is I'm not satisfying you enough,
00:33:50and you're already thinking about going somewhere else. How many men's abs have you touched exactly?
00:33:54Before I could figure out how to handle a jealous, possessive CEO, his personal line rang. Leo's
00:34:00voice came through on speaker, tense and urgent. Mr. Frost, Victoria and her father, board director
00:34:08Warren, have taken over the top floor conference room with six other board members. They've seen the
00:34:15warning 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
00:34:58after me is going to learn exactly what that cost them today. Thirty minutes later, the top floor
00:35:04conference 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.
00:35:15Warren sat at the center, his pampered face arranged in smug confidence. Victoria was right
00:35:20beside her father. The second she saw me, she shot out of her chair. There she is. That shameless
00:35:26woman has the nerve to show her face here after everything she's done. She slammed a stack of
00:35:31surveillance screenshots onto the table. Look at these. Your precious new assistant is a predator.
00:35:36Because of her disgusting scandal, the company stock hit its lower limit this morning. Mr. Frost,
00:35:42if you don't hand her over to the police downstairs right now, you are just as guilty.
00:35:46The room buzzed with whispers. Every eye in the room turned on me like knives. Ethan sat at the head
00:35:51of the table, expression completely blank, fingers tapping slowly against the surface. The silence was
00:35:57suffocating. The board members took it as a sign that Ethan was about to fold and cut me loose.
00:36:02Victoria clearly read it the same way. She stormed around the table in her heels and came straight
00:36:08for me, arm 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
00:36:31twisted
00:36:32her wrist and shoved her away hard. She stumbled backward in her heels and crashed hard onto the
00:36:37conference room floor. You just attacked someone in front of the entire board?!
00:36:42I brushed my hands off and looked down at Victoria with a slow, cold smile.
00:36:46You wanna dig up the past? Fine. Let's dig deep. I walked to the table, picked up one of the
00:36:52surveillance photos, and held it up for everyone to see. Yes. That's me. I touched a co-worker. I got
00:37:00fired for it. We were both single and I accepted the consequences. Is that really worth calling the
00:37:05police? I dropped the photo directly onto Victoria's face. What's more interesting is you, Victoria.
00:37:12Last night, you paid a hacker to illegally break into my former employer's servers, stole that footage,
00:37:19and used company money to buy trending spots, and bought traffic. I pulled a black USB drive from my
00:37:26jacket and slammed it down in the middle of the table. Wire transfers, chat logs, a signed confession
00:37:33from the hacker. Everything. You want to talk about who deserves prison time? Start with yourself.
00:37:43Victoria's face went from grey to deathly white. She was shaking so hard she could barely stay
00:37:48upright. You're making all of this up! None of that is real! I kept my expression calm while
00:37:55internally I was counting down. Three, two, one. Babe, your turn. I just laid every card I have on the
00:38:02table. If you don't back me up right now, tonight I'm gonna find a delivery guy to feed on, and
00:38:06you can
00:38:06deal with the consequences. Though honestly, even when he's just sitting there looking serious, why
00:38:11does he have to be so damn attractive? I want to crawl into his lap and kiss him until he
00:38:16loses his
00:38:17voice. Ethan's fingers, which had been steadily tapping the table, suddenly stopped. A flash of
00:38:23something crossed his face. He shot me a quick look that clearly said, control those thoughts right now.
00:38:28Leo. His ear had gone noticeably red. He looked away, regained his composure and gave Leo a small
00:38:34nod. Leo 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
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. Hundred billion deal. Please.
00:39:38Sweetheart. This man has three mistresses. Four offshore properties in the Cayman Islands and
00:39:44Kypris paid for with laundered money from this very deal. The shell companies are even named
00:39:50after his mistress's initials. He's actually that stupid. He moved 40 million into one of them just
00:39:57this month. At the head of the table, Ethan's fingers went completely still on the folder. He was
00:40:03receiving every shocking detail straight through my thoughts. He slowly raised his head. The way he
00:40:08looked at Warren now was pure predator. The look of someone who already knew every card on the table
00:40:13and found the whole game boring. The corner of his mouth curved slightly. The hundred billion
00:40:18acquisition, Warren? 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? Ethan pressed the remote without
00:40:27another word. The screen switched to a full forensic audit report. The critical findings highlighted in
00:40:33stark red. Page after page of transactions, layered offshore shell company charts. Every thread leading
00:40:40back to one name. Warren. Ethan rose slowly from his chair, then slammed a thick stack of documents onto
00:40:46the conference table. 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 of
00:40:58evidence staring you in the face, you don't even get to beg for mercy. The senior directors who had been
00:41:03backing 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
00:41:14as he collapsed back into his chair, lips trembling, unable to speak a single word. I leaned against the
00:41:21table and watched Ethan backlit, spine straight, completely dismantling the old fox without breaking a
00:41:26sweat. I couldn't help myself. God, he's unreal. My knees are gone. There it is. My succubia instincts
00:41:34are firing hard. I want to throw him down on this conference table, right now and ride him until he
00:41:40can't think straight. Ethan's posture stiffened slightly. At an angle no one else could see, the
00:41:46tips of his ears turned a deep red. He swung his head around and shot me a sharp look that
00:41:50said,
00:41:51Control yourself right now. I stuck my tongue out at him. Just then, the conference room doors burst
00:41:56open. Several officers from the financial crimes unit walked in, faces grim and determined. Warren,
00:42:02you're under arrest for embezzlement and large-scale money laundry. Come with us. The
00:42:06cold click of handcuffs snapped around Warren's wrists. Victoria went wild next, thrashing and
00:42:12screaming that I had done this to her. But two officers pinned her down and cuffed her anyway.
00:42:16The pair who had been untouchable minutes earlier were dragged out of the room like common criminals.
00:42:21Dead silence fell over the room. The remaining directors were sweating through their suits,
00:42:27barely daring to breathe. Ethan swept the room with a cold, measured stare.
00:42:31Does anyone here have a problem with Ms. Summers staying at this company? Every director shook their
00:42:37heads frantically. No problem. Absolutely none. We're done here. In under 10 seconds, every director
00:42:44bolted, clutching their files and nearly tripping over each other to get out.
00:42:47The moment the door clicked shut, Ethan grabbed the remote and locked the conference room doors.
00:42:52The floor-to-ceiling blinds descended slowly, cutting off every bit of the Manhattan skyline.
00:42:58The room went dark. 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
00:43:14the edge of the conference table. Warren and Victoria's bill is paid. Now it's time to settle
00:43:19ours. 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.
00:43:37That was all it took. Whatever control he had left snapped. He grabbed me by the waist,
00:43:42lifted me off the ground and set me down in the middle of the paper-covered conference table.
00:43:47Cameras are off. Now I want you to show me every dirty thought that's been running through that head
00:43:53of yours. All of it. He pressed forward and kissed me hard. Several hours later, after we had thoroughly
00:44:00used every inch of that conference room, an anonymous investigative report landed at a media office
00:44:05somewhere in New York. The document was clear. Jade Summers. No social records, no enrollment history,
00:44:12no employment trail before five years ago. Appeared out of nowhere. Suspected false identity.
00:44:18Possible corporate infiltrator. The heat from the conference room had barely faded when the story
00:44:24exploded the next morning. A major feature titled Frost Capital's Executive Advisor. Who is she really?
00:44:31Tore through every financial outlet. The piece questioned my complete lack of digital footprint
00:44:36or work history before five years ago. I sat at my desk staring at the blazing red headline,
00:44:41palms sweating. This was bad. My five years ago, belonged to someone else's body in another life.
00:44:48There was no paper trail because there couldn't be one. Around me, the interns and junior analysts had
00:44:53dropped all deference. I was nervously tugging at the hem of my blazer when the executive suite door opened.
00:44:59Ethan walked out holding a printed copy of the report, his expression ice cold. He didn't look
00:45:04at anyone else. He caught my wrist and pulled me straight into his private lounge. The door shut.
00:45:10He pressed me down onto the sofa, sat across from me and stared at the report in silence for a
00:45:15long moment.
00:45:16Here it comes. He's going to ask who I really am and how I appeared out of thin air. What
00:45:21do I even say?
00:45:22That I'm a suck-a-bore who needs men's intimate energy to survive? Is he going to think I'm a
00:45:27monster
00:45:28and try to lock me away? My mind was spiraling into disaster scenarios. Across from me, a vein ticked
00:45:34in Ethan's temple. He finally took a slow breath and set the report down. What do you want for dinner
00:45:39tonight? I froze completely. Every lie I had prepared got stuck in my throat. I just stared at him.
00:45:47You're not going to ask? The whole internet is calling me a spy or a sleeper agent? Ethan stood
00:45:53and straightened his cuffs with that same calm composure. I'm curious. Then why aren't you-
00:45:58Because I've already heard every single thought. He met my eyes, patient and certain. The ones when you
00:46:04can'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
00:46:20along and still draped his jacket over me in the break room. Still protected me. Still put Victoria and
00:46:27her father behind bars. A thousand years of watching people's faces twist in fear, disgust, or greed when they
00:46:33learned the truth. And this man acted like it was nothing. My eyes stung. My toes burned.
00:46:39He's not right in the head. He's supposed to be allergic to women. He's supposed to run. But he's
00:46:45not afraid of me at all. Fine. If you're not scared, then tonight I'm going to wreck you completely.
00:46:52You'll be the one begging. Ethan's cufflink slipped from his fingers.
00:46:56Jade, shut up. I laughed through the tears and winked at him.
00:47:03Ethan didn't seem to care about the rumors, but the internet and his competitors did.
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,
00:47:17Ethan 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 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 his
00:47:48fingers, 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.
00:48:00He 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
00:48:10resignation and share transfer papers now, or I call the financial crimes unit in five minutes.
00:48:15Your choice. Less than two minutes later, both directors signed with shaking hands and left as
00:48:21fast as they could. The room fell deathly quiet. The remaining directors stared at the table like it
00:48:28was the most fascinating thing in the world. Ethan straightened his tie, signed the latest restructuring
00:48:33document with one smooth stroke and spoke calmly. Effective immediately, the senior director position
00:48:39is dissolved. Jade Summers is now my executive advisor, with authority equal to mine on all matters.
00:48:44I nearly jumped out of my seat in the corner. Okay, wow, that's a serious power move. But he fought
00:48:49that hard for me and didn't even ask if I wanted it. Sure, the position gives me better access to
00:48:54high-quality energy, but I was planning to stay low-key. This dominantic man. I want to wrap my legs
00:48:59around him and make him pay for it. Ethan went completely still at the head of the table. He set
00:49:04his pen down and looked straight at me across the room. You don't want it? Every director turned,
00:49:09completely confused about who he was talking to. My face burned. I forced a gracious smile.
00:49:15Of course I do, Mr. Frost. It's an honor to serve under you. The tiniest smirk touched
00:49:20the corner of Ethan's mouth before disappearing behind his usual cold mask.
00:49:26The new title called for a new look. That evening, Ethan took me to a black-tie multinational finance
00:49:31dinner at one of Manhattan's most exclusive hotels. I ditched the conservative blazer and wore the red
00:49:37gown, 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,
00:50:18energy level 2 at best. Looking at him longer should count as emotional damage. The rest of the table
00:50:25is even worse. Combined, they don't come close to one finger of my man. Across the table, Ethan's
00:50:33fingers tightened slightly around his glass the moment I thought, my man. He was clearly fighting a smile.
00:50:41Ethan lifted his glass to hide the small indulgent smile tugging at his lips. His dark eyes found mine
00:50:47across the room, sending heat straight through me. Nothing to say, Mrs. Summers? Could the media be
00:50:55right that you have no real history at all? I was about to handle it my way when Ethan set
00:51:00his 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 thousand
00:51:28years. I'm in trouble. His energy is pouring into me and I need to drag him to the nearest bathroom
00:51:35right now. Ethan's grip tightened. 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
00:52:07the doorway jacket off. Comfortable in that chair?
00:52:14I stood and wrapped my arms around his neck, pressing myself against him. Crisis handled.
00:52:21Time to deliver on my promise to drain him completely and make him beg. Right here. Right now.
00:52:27The thought hit him hard. His eyes dropped to the slit in my skirt. His control finally broke.
00:52:33He pressed me against the door and locked it. You've been driving me crazy with those thoughts
00:52:38every day. If you try to run now, you're not leaving this room for three days.
00:52:44His lips moved down my collarbone while his hands worked urgently at the red dress.
00:52:49His raw energy washed over me in powerful waves. I was losing control fast.
00:52:54He was definitely holding back before. This is too much. I'm not going to survive. Wait.
00:53:00He's actually tearing the dress. We're in the executive suite. There are people right outside this door.
00:53:05Survival instinct kicked in hard. I yelped, ducked, and slipped out of his grip,
00:53:10scrambling behind the desk. Mr. Frost, please control yourself.
00:53:15It's still business hours. If Leo walks in, we're both finished.
00:53:20I crouched behind the desk, trying to fix my ruined dress. Ethan stood against the door,
00:53:25chest heaving, staring at the spot where I had been. The vein in his temple pulsed.
00:53:29You spend every waking second fantasizing about this. But the moment it starts happening,
00:53:34you run faster than anyone I've ever seen. Are you torturing me on purpose?
00:53:41I stayed behind the desk and tried my most innocent look.
00:53:44I'm just being a responsible employee. Modern society values restraint and professionism.
00:53:50Okay, mostly I don't want to die of embarrassment. But what I just saw was terrifying. If we actually
00:53:56do this, he might break me. I'm genuinely not sure I'd survive. He heard everything. The panic and
00:54:03the helpless desire underneath. Some of the fury left his face. He exhaled, crossed the room and
00:54:09gently pulled me out from behind the desk. Instead of continuing, he carefully fixed the broken strap
00:54:15of my dress with surprising patience. I stared at his profile and felt my heart do things it had no
00:54:20right to do. This man isn't fair. Top-tier energy is one thing, but this? I've been doing this for
00:54:25a
00:54:25thousand years. I cannot be falling for a human CEO. I refuse. His hands stilled. He looked down at me
00:54:33with quiet certainty. Tonight, my place in the hills were not in the office there. I never said I was
00:54:39going home with- You 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.
00:55:03Keep it together. This is just strategic energy access, nothing more. I'm not getting attached
00:55:08to a repressed CEO. I'm a cold-blooded sucker 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
00:55:20like it weighed nothing. Strategic resource acquisition? I short-circuited. I always forgot he
00:55:25could hear everything. Can you let me finish a thought before you respond? He walked a few steps,
00:55:29then stopped and turned around slowly. His dark eyes held mine with complete certainty.
00:55:34Jade. 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 run
00:56:40through 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.
00:57:01Ethan cut you loose? Take a look at this. He dropped a thick legal document in front of me.
00:57:08The title was clear. Irrevocable Permanent Declaration of Asset Consolidation and Joint Equity.
00:57:14He had transferred half of all his core assets, including Frost Capital, into my name permanently.
00:57:19I couldn't speak. He just handed me half his life behind my back? On Wall Street,
00:57:26where everything is calculated? He split his entire fortune with a woman who barely exists?
00:57:32Is he insane? My eyes filled with tears. Ethan gently wiped the tear from my cheek.
00:57:37The media can't find your past. That's their failure, not yours. If they say you have no history,
00:57:42then I'll give you the strongest one in America. Starting today, you're my full partner at Frost
00:57:46Capital 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 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? Are you done? He leaned back, completely calm.
00:58:26First, I don't care if your identity is real. Second, I didn't do this out of pity. I did it
00:58:30because
00:58:30I wanted to. Third, you crossed over. That makes this even simpler. He leaned forward,
00:58:36his presence overwhelming. If you have nothing in this world, then you need a home even more.
00:58:40Home? This pure golden energy man just offered a suckvo a home. I want to rip his clothes off
00:58:46and destroy him right now. We're just employer and employee. As of now, we're full partners,
00:58:50and you're my fiancé. I never agreed to that. And 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.
00:58:59Jade, 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. His 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. 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 around his
00:59:39finger. Did I completely flip the suck-a-poor survival manual upside down? I was supposed to
00:59:44be the one running circles around him. How did I end up the one getting reeled in with property
00:59:49deeds and warm milk? This is dangerous. The more I think about it, the hungrier I get.
00:59:54My legs are going weak again. I tossed on the silk sheets until two in the morning,
00:59:59then gave up and headed to the kitchen for water. The moment I pushed the door open I froze. Ethan
01:00:04stood at the counter in a loose black silk robe, collar open, warming milk. Moonlight poured through
01:00:09the 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.
01:00:35Doesn't that make me some kind of dangerous freak? Ethan leaned against the counter and
01:00:39let out a low, rough laugh. You think someone who's heard every greedy,
01:00:42filthy, calculating thought people have since Yash Day has any room to judge a straightforward
01:00:46little suck-a-vra? 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.
01:00:56You're hungry, you admit you want to devour me. You're scared, you admit you're scared.
01:01:01Even when you're trying to get bed, you're completely honest. No games, no lies.
01:01:05He bent down, lips brushing my ear, breath hot and heavy.
01:01:08Jade, for me that's more than enough.
01:01:12Oh my god. This man who barely flirted in his life just said something 10 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
01:01:22me right 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
01:02:43head
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
01:03:25fingers tightened around his wine glass. Thank you for the review. I bit into my stake and shot him
01:03:30a look. I was thinking that in my head. I heard every word. I gave up fighting and slid my
01:03:37hand
01:03:37under the table, 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
01:04:03and drain me until I'm begging for mercy. I nearly choked on the wine. For the record,
01:04:08I meant every word of that. Ethan's hand froze, his eyes ignited with raw hunger.
01:04:13Is that so? Then starting tonight, I'm taking that thought very seriously.
01:04:17Is this man reverse trapping me right now? Yes.
01:04:21I laughed, equal parts delighted and furious, and pinched his thigh hard.
01:04:26Ethan Frost, you're supposed to be Wall Street's coldest predator.
01:04:30When 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.
01:04:53The dinner lasted two full hours. By the end, my legs were weak from the constant wave of his energy.
01:05:00Ethan barely spoke, but his thumb kept tracing slow circles over my knuckles,
01:05:04proper on the surface, but full of promise underneath.
01:05:07I set down my fork and stared at his handsome, cold face.
01:05:12I've always wondered, when exactly did you realize I wasn't human?
01:05:17Day one. 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.
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,
01:05:47but your desire was pure. It wasn't until you screamed internally that you were a succubus
01:05:54that I confirmed it. So you knew I was some kind of energy-hungry creature? Who wanted to devour you,
01:06:02and you still hired me? What kind of risk management is that? Ethan suddenly leaned across the table,
01:06:07gripped my jaw, and tilted my face up, eyes burning. The most desire I see is full of lie and
01:06:12power 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.
01:06:49This might be the first time it's just us. No reporters, no drama. Just him walking with me like a
01:06:56normal boyfriend.
01:06:59What's the M for? I heard everything you just thought. I laughed and leaned into him,
01:07:07going soft against his shoulder. Tell me, Mr. CEO, you've really never dated before? No Harris's or models
01:07:13ever caught your eye? No. Then how are you so good at all of this? You talk like you came
01:07:17with built-in charm
01:07:17software. Ethan 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.
01:07:33Let's go home.
01:07:36He 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
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. A faint
01:08:22glint of amusement 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.
01:08:35To 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, looking dangerously casual. Every
01:09:11woman nearby stared. I wrapped my arm around his, claiming him. Look at you, out of your suit and
01:09:16still causing chaos. Hearts are breaking left and right. The corner of Ethan's mouth curved slightly.
01:09:22I never cared before. But now I only wait for one person. I'm done. This ice prince saying sweet things
01:09:29so sincerely is more lethal than anything from the abyss. In the dark theater, his energy rolled over
01:09:36me in waves. Halfway through the movie, I put my hand over his. He turned his palm and locked our
01:09:42fingers together, tight and burning. By the time the lights came up, we were both breathing harder.
01:09:47In the lobby, I teased him lightly. Your palm was sweaty the whole time.
01:09:53Your body temperature was running higher than mine. That's because you had a death grip on my hand.
01:09:59Ethan pulled me out of the crowd, bent down, and brushed his lips against my ear. That's because you
01:10:03never once thought about letting go. On the ride home, Ethan and I sat in the back with our hands
01:10:12still locked. Leo drove in professional silence. Ethan, hypothetically, if there was no energy
01:10:20connection between us, would you still have kept me that first day? Yes. No hesitation.
01:10:26The moment you walked in, I saw your eyes. There was no calculation. No interest in power or money.
01:10:36You just looked at me like 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. I buried my face in Ethan's chest
01:11:14and laughed until I shut. Late 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. 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.
01:11:52You're scared I'll run. To protect you. Yes. I'm scared. He admitted it straight. No shields. You were
01:12:01ready to disappear. Alone to keep me safe. Jade, I don't need protection. I need you to stay.
01:12:09Right 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. Ethan looked at the
01:12:27marks, then at my eyes and pulled me closer. Deal. I promise.
01:12:33The next afternoon, I walked into Ethan's office during a serious international video call.
01:12:39He hit mute, waved me in and pulled me into the chair beside him. He continued the call in fluent,
01:12:44ruthless 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,
01:14:13even Washington, to 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.
01:15:08He handed me a glass of wine and stood at the railing in his white shirt.
01:15:12Where do you want to start, Mrs. Partner?
01:15:15I let my leg brush against his through the slit in my dress.
01:15:19Leo said you're building me a real identity? Independent? Legal? Do you actually think that's possible?
01:15:25On Wall Street, when I decide I want something, impossible doesn't exist.
01:15:31He stepped close, trapping me against the railing.
01:15:34The European trust structure is done. You'll be recognized as the heir of an ancient private dynasty.
01:15:39It's complicated, but it will hold.
01:15:41Why go this far? Hiding in your assets would have been safer for you.
01:15:44Because I'm done watching you think you belong in the shadows.
01:15:48And I'm not letting you keep one eye on the exit because you're scared of hurting me.
01:15:53He tucked my hair back, then pressed his fingers firmly against my inner thigh.
01:15:58That highest seat has always been yours. Not out of pity. You earned it.
01:16:03I'm completely done for.
01:16:05No succubus could resist a cold, celibate man who decides to love this obsessively.
01:16:09I dropped my glass, slid my hands into his collar and straddled his waist.
01:16:14Since your plan is this perfect, I think we've earned some very high returns.
01:16:18Up here, with no one to interrupt us, don't you think?
01:16:23That night on the rooftop, we lost ourselves 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
01:16:34abyss and how scared I'd been when I first crossed over. Ethan held my waist, eyes blazing.
01:16:39You're really not scared? In 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? Not a chance.
01:17:09He kissed my collarbone.
01:17:13It's complicated here, but 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.
01:17:31Ethan 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.
01:18:34You've replayed last week on that sofa at least 10 times today.
01:18:38I tucked my dress lower and looked at him innocently 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,
01:18:58revealing hard lines of muscle.
01:19:00Then he drew his belt free.
01:19:03You are the highest level of trouble this office has ever seen.
01:19:12But since you've been sending that invitation all afternoon,
01:19:16if you even think about hiding under the desk again,
01:19:21you won't like what happens next.
01:19:25It'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,
01:19:54bare hand pulled me back against his solid body.
01:19:57New place. Do you like it?
01:19:59I love it.
01:20:00So, Mr. CEO, you bought the penthouse with this exact view,
01:20:04just to recreate our first real night together?
01:20:06Ethan laughed low, the sound vibrating through me.
01:20:08Not a recreation. 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.
01:20:24Told the world I'm yours. And 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. Because whether it's the assets or that insane body of his,
01:20:47I decided long ago I'm keeping both. For 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. He slid the ring onto my finger with complete ownership.
01:21:09Perfect fit. Of course it is. This 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,
01:21:19real and 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. Thank you for falling out of whatever
01:21:32clack in the universe you came from and landing in my office. He cupped the back of my head and
01:21:37kissed me back, deep and warm. Outside, snow fell quietly over the glittering city. After countless
01:21:44years of hunger, my soul had finally found home.
