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 little
00:01:12energy, and I got dragged into HR, publicly fired for sexual harassment, and almost arrested. No legal
00:01:18identity here means I starve. End of story. So I squeezed myself into the most buttoned-up black blazer
00:01:25I could find, every button fastened tight to my throat, and walked into Frost Capital, one of
00:01:30Manhattan's most cutthroat firms, for a personal secretary interview. The man interviewing me was
00:01:35the one who runs everything. Ethan Frost. Everyone called him untouchable. Cold privileged, disciplined
00:01:42to the bone. A man so controlled that women could throw themselves at him all night and he would not
00:01:47even blink. But the moment I stepped into his office, a thick wave of pure, scorching masculine energy
00:01:53slammed into me. My succubus instincts went feral. Oh my god. Look at those broad shoulders, that tight
00:02:00waist, those powerful thighs. Those dress pants are stretched so obscenely I can see the outline of
00:02:07every inch. I bet he's thick, heavy, and perfect. I wonder how long this tightly wound ice prince can
00:02:14keep his control before he snaps. I want to shove him back onto that desk, tear that expensive suit off
00:02:20him,
00:02:20and ride him raw, until he's shaking and begging. I was deep in that filthy fantasy when a loud snap
00:02:26cracked through the room. Ethan's luxury pen broke in half, black ink spilling over his fingers.
00:02:32He slowly lifted his gaze. This cold, dark eyes pinned me like a predator. His voice came out low,
00:02:39rough, 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
00:03:16shoved my shoulder hard. Button that collar all the way up. If I ever see you throwing yourself at
00:03:21Mr. Frost, you won't even make it through tomorrow. Do you understand me? I let myself stumble back and
00:03:28quickly put on my most innocent, obedient face. Of course, director. I'll be completely professional.
00:03:34But inside, my succubus side was burning with contempt. Throwing myself at him? Please. You look at him
00:03:40like you own him. You have no idea how good it feels to be flooded with that kind of raw,
00:03:44masculine
00:03:44energy. It 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 of
00:04:37black coffee. The second I stepped through the door, that devastating masculine energy wrapped around me
00:04:43again. Hot and clean and way too close. It clung to my skin like a second layer. Ethan was leaning
00:04:49back
00:04:49in his chair, reviewing documents like nothing in the world could shake him. Shirt buttoned. Tie straight.
00:04:55Face cold enough to freeze over hell. But my eyes had no loyalty to my brain. They kept drifting lower
00:05:01straight to the tight stretch of his dress pants. That energy is so thick and pure it's making me
00:05:07dizzy. The way those pants hug him should be illegal. If he ever let loose on me, he would completely
00:05:12wreck
00:05:13me. God, I wanna- I was so busy staring that I completely missed the face beside me. My heel
00:05:18caught
00:05:18the edge of it and rolled. Ah! I lost my balance and pitched forward straight into him. The entire cup
00:05:24of
00:05:24scalding coffee splashed across his lap. Every single drop. A low, ragged groan tore out of
00:05:30him. The documents in his hand scattered all over the floor. My soul nearly left my body. I scrambled
00:05:37up, grabbed the tissue box off his desk and started frantically dabbing at his thighs. Mr. Frost, I'm so
00:05:43sorry. Please don't move. I'll clean it up. The second my fingers pressed against the soaked fabric,
00:05:48I froze. Even through the thin material, the heat under my hand was overwhelming. Hard, tense,
00:05:55very, very alive. My fingers started to shake. Wait, is he getting hard? God, he's huge! Ugh! I just wanna
00:06:02rip
00:06:03these pants open and put my mouth onto his monstrous cock! Ethan's hand, which had been reaching for the
00:06:08tissues, stopped dead in midair. For one terrifying second, the whole office went silent. Then his large,
00:06:15burning hand came down on my lower back. He seized me and pulled me hard against his chest. My breath
00:06:21caught. His body was solid against mine, his breath hot and uneven on my face. That perfect frozen
00:06:27composure finally cracked, and what leaked through was dark, hungry, and dangerous. His voice dropped
00:06:32low. You really can't stop looking there, can you? His voice was low against my ear, and that thick,
00:06:40impossible bulge pressing against me was impossible to ignore. My succubus control was hanging by a
00:06:46thread. This man was plain dirty. And the worst part was, I was almost sure he knew it. I swallowed
00:06:52hard, my whole body going soft against him. My arms slid around his neck before my brain could stop
00:06:57them. I leaned in, lips parting, the tip of my tongue just barely brushing out. One more inch. Just one.
00:07:04Then the memory hit me like a fire alarm. HR dragging me out of my last job in front of
00:07:09everyone.
00:07:09Security watching me like I was dangerous. The threat of handcuffs, police, and a permanent record,
00:07:15all because I touched a co-worker's abs when I was starving. My blood went cold. This was not some
00:07:20random office. This was the CEO's office in New York. And this was Ethan Frost, one of the most
00:07:26powerful men in the country. Throwing myself at him was not a cute little workplace mistake.
00:07:31This could destroy my life. All my succubus confidence disappeared in an instant.
00:07:36No. I came here to survive, not to end up in prison. I shoved him back with a sudden burst
00:07:41of 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.
00:07:56I fumbled with the door, yanked it open, and ran. But as the door swung shut behind me,
00:08:01I caught one last glimpse through the narrow crack. The, the famously celibate, untouchable
00:08:07ice prince, was still standing exactly where I had left him. His shirt was wrinkled. His breathing
00:08:13was rough. His hands were empty, like he had not expected me to escape. And the look in his eyes
00:08:18was
00:08:19not anger. It was hunger. The kind that made my knees weak even from the other side of the door.
00:08:25That afternoon, I went to the break room to get some water and calm myself down.
00:08:29The coffee disaster was still replaying in my head, along with Ethan's hand on my waist,
00:08:34his rough breathing, and the way he had looked at me before I ran. I needed water. Possibly an exorcism.
00:08:41The second I turned around, Victoria was walking straight toward me with a full basin of ice water
00:08:46in her hands. She stopped right in front of me, a small, vicious smile tugging at her lips.
00:08:51Then she let her foot slip on purpose. The entire basin came crashing down over me.
00:08:57Ice 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 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. Everyone seeing this? Our new secretary shows
00:09:33up on day one with lingerie under a white blouse and expects us to believe she is here for spreadsheets?
00:09:38I hugged my soaked blouse to my chest, shivering. This is his frost capital, not some club bathroom.
00:09:44I'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?
00:10:06You were so good at playing innocent earlier. Come on, let everyone see what kind of professional
00:10:12you really are. The 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,
00:10:36usually cold enough to keep the whole office at a distance, darken the moment they saw me.
00:10:41Mr. Frost, look at her. I don't know what kind of stunt she pulled to end up like this,
00:10:47but she's been standing here, putting herself on display and trying to make everyone uncomfortable.
00:10:51Ethan did not even look at her. He shrugged off his jacket, still warm and carrying that clean
00:10:57cedar scent, then stepped in front of me and wrapped it around my shoulders. The jacket swallowed me
00:11:02almost completely, cutting off every stare in the room. The second his warmth touched my skin that
00:11:07rich, dangerous energy of his rolled over me. My knees nearly gave out right there. Without a word he
00:11:13took my wrist and led me out of the break room. No one dared to stop him. The moment we
00:11:18reached his
00:11:19office, he pushed the door open with one hard motion and pulled me inside. Then he locked it.
00:11:24The click of the lock went straight through me. Every bit of suppressed succubus instinct I had been
00:11:29trying to bury came roaring back to life. A locked door. Just the two of us. Oh I know exactly
00:11:35where
00:11:35this is going. He is going to push me against that floor to cleaning window, tear off this ruined
00:11:39blouse, use that tie to trap my wrists and punish me until I forget how to stand. Yes daddy. Punish
00:11:45me
00:11:45like I'm a bad girl. Ethan stopped. His back went rigid. For a moment, the office was so quiet I
00:11:51could
00:11:52hear my own heartbeat. Then a vein jumped at his temple and he took one slow breath like he was
00:11:57trying
00:11:57very hard not to lose control. When he turned around, his expression had gone dangerously still.
00:12:03The next second he crossed the room, caught me by the waist and backed me against the window.
00:12:07His hands landed on either side of my head, caging me in completely. The glass was cold against my back.
00:12:13He was burning hot in front of me. His voice came out low, restrained and rough around the edges.
00:12:19What exactly goes on in that little head of yours all day, Jade?
00:12:24Pinned against the window by a man that tall, that close and that intense, I pulled my shoulders in
00:12:29and gave him my best helpless wide-eyed look. Mr. Frost, I wasn't thinking anything. I was just
00:12:36scared after getting soaked like that. Ethan let out a low, cold laugh. His fingers closed around my jaw
00:12:42and tilted my face up. His breath brushed over my lips, warm and dangerously uneven. He did not answer
00:12:49me. Instead his other hand went to his tie. He pulled it loose in one slow, deliberate motion like
00:12:55he had all the time in the world. Then he dropped it onto the desk. My pulse jumped. Then he
00:12:59undid the
00:13:00top two buttons of his shirt. That collarbone. That shadow beneath the open fabric. That hard,
00:13:06controlled body he kept locked away under expensive suits every single day. He stepped right into my line
00:13:12of 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
00:13:23I had 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.
00:13:40Flashing lights. Cold handcuffs. Iron bars. A full criminal case with my name on it. Getting fired
00:13:47for touching a co-worker's abs was bad enough. Putting my hands on the CEO of Frost Capital,
00:13:53that was a life sentence in heels. Self-preservation kicked in. I snatched my hand back, ducked under
00:13:59his arm and slipped away. Mr. Frost, my eyes are closed. I didn't see anything. Please keep your
00:14:05shirt on. I have absolutely zero inappropriate thoughts about you. I spun toward the door and
00:14:10got my hand on the lock. But before I could turn it, a rush of cedar and heat swept over
00:14:15me from
00:14:16behind. Ethan was suddenly there, his shirt still undone. One hand braced against the door, trapping me in
00:14:22place. His chest pressed close against my back, and his breath brushed over my ear. Zero inappropriate
00:14:28thoughts. His voice was low and rough, with an edge that left no room to hide. His fingers found my
00:14:35jaw from
00:14:35behind and turned my head, forcing my gaze back to the open stretch of his shirt and everything it revealed.
00:14:41How disappointing. I have plenty of dirty thoughts about you, Jade Summers.
00:14:48That line, spoken from that close, nearly made my succubus tail come out. I stood trapped between
00:14:54the door and his heat, completely unable to move. Just when I thought he was about to forget every
00:14:59last bit of restraint and do something about it right there in his office, the pressure suddenly
00:15:03lifted. 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 attending as
00:15:14my executive advisor. Go to this address today and get a gown. By the time I made it back to
00:15:19my desk,
00:15:19the note was still warm in my palm. The next evening, a black Maybach pulled up smoothly in
00:15:25front of an elite boutique on Fifth Avenue. The store manager had clearly been briefed in advance and met
00:15:30us at the door with a polished, professional smile. Miss Summers, right this way, to the fitting area.
00:15:36She looped the tape around my chest, then drew it in at my waist. A second later, she gasped.
00:15:41Good lord, Miss Summers. These measurements are unreal. This kind of figure comes along once in a
00:15:48lifetime. She immediately pulled out a red gown, deep V-neckline, opened back, a slit that started
00:15:54high on the thigh. I recommend this one. Wear this tonight, and you'll be the best thing that ever
00:16:01happened to Frost Capital's public image. I stared at that gorgeous, barely there piece of fabric,
00:16:06and my succubus instinct sat straight up. With this body in that dress? Absolutely lethal. So that is why he
00:16:14kept looking at me like that yesterday. He has been wanting to see me in this all along. Fine, I'll
00:16:21wear it to
00:16:21the gala and watch his eyes drop straight to my neckline. That will be entirely his fault. Then the memory
00:16:28of
00:16:28being trapped against the door last night came back in full detail, and my survival instinct seized the
00:16:33wheel. Well, low profile. Boring. See? If he lost control in front of everyone at the gala, I would lose
00:16:40the job and then I would starve. I backed away from the dress like it had personally threatened me, both
00:16:45hands clamped to my collar. No. Absolutely not. High neck, long sleeves, ankle length if possible.
00:16:51I am a professional. The words had barely left my mouth when a quiet, unmistakably amused laugh came
00:16:58from just outside the heavy fitting room curtain. Ethan had appeared on the other side, perfectly
00:17:03dressed, perfectly composed, and somehow right there. He glanced at the manager, his expression
00:17:08unreadable. Give us a moment. The manager blinked, bowed, and quickly slipped out. Ethan walked into the
00:17:15fitting area and picked up the red gown. The heavy curtain swept shut behind him. Now it was just the
00:17:21two of us in a very small space. The air seemed to thicken. He moved toward me one step at
00:17:27a time,
00:17:27his tall frame carrying the full weight of his presence, until my back pressed against the full
00:17:32length mirror. Mr. Frost, what are you doing? I swallowed hard. My palms were damp. Ethan set the
00:17:39gown aside and picked up the measuring tape. Drop straight to your neckline? I leaned unsteadily against
00:17:45the mirror and stared at him. How was he hearing every single thought in real time, even the ones from
00:17:50yesterday? He did not give me a second to figure it out. He spread his arms with the tape between
00:17:55them and wrapped it around my waist, pulling me in from behind in a way that felt far too close
00:18:00to an
00:18:00embrace. His energy washed over me all at once and my legs nearly gave out. Help. He is so close.
00:18:07He is so
00:18:08warm. This is going to drown me. Those shoulders, that waist, right here, within reach. I want to push him
00:18:19back against this mirror, tear that suit off him, and make him lose every bit of that perfect control.
00:18:25Ethan's breathing changed. He dipped his head, his lips only a breath from my ear, and his voice came
00:18:31out low enough to make my knees weaken. Jade, let me find out for myself exactly how extraordinary you
00:18:41are. His hand moved slowly up my back. The other cradled the back of my head. His face tilted closer
00:18:47and his lips were one second away from mine. One second before contact, the coward in me took over.
00:18:53I dropped, tried to slip under his arm, and aimed for the narrow gap beside him. This time,
00:18:58he did not let me get away. His arm caught my waist and pulled me back hard against him.
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.
00:19:18His voice came out rough and absolute. Stop thinking about ruining me, and then running the second
00:19:25things get real. His grip tightened at my waist, firm enough to make it clear that this time he was
00:19:29not letting me slip away. Jade, you are wearing that red dress to the gala tonight. His eyes moved
00:19:37over my face, then lowered briefly to the gown beside us. Because right now, I want to see you in
00:19:47it.
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. The courier. 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
00:20:41kicked into full overdrive. The hunger rose from somewhere deep inside me, burning through my
00:20:46veins, turning my legs weak. All I could think about was the fitting room. Ethan's arms around my waist.
00:20:52His breath at my ear. That clean, intoxicating energy pouring off him and sinking into my skin.
00:20:58I just need him to hold me right now. That's it. Just hold me. If he came through that door
00:21:05and
00:21:05completely took me over, I don't know how much longer I can hold back. The lock turned again.
00:21:11The dark silhouette slipped inside and shut the door behind him. Then he locked it again.
00:21:16My breath caught. How long are you going? Keep driving me crazy like this, Jade.
00:21:21Mr. Frost? How did you get in here? I didn't do anything. I didn't even say anything.
00:21:25You didn't have to. Every single word.
00:21:28He moved closer. That overwhelming heat rolled over me, rich and controlled and dangerous.
00:21:33His hand pressed to the wall beside my head, and he backed me into it with his body without ever
00:21:38fully touching where he should not. In the dark, he leaned down until his nose almost brushed mine.
00:21:44His voice was low, rough, and far too steady. Then he repeated my own thoughts back to me word for
00:21:49word, calm and merciless. I couldn't stop imagining Ethan's thick cock pushing against my pussy.
00:21:56Jade Summers, you've been undressing me in your head every day since the interview. Did you really
00:22:01think I couldn't hear you? From the moment you walked into my office on day one, every single
00:22:07word, I heard all of it. His voice was low and steady in the dark, but it carried a weight
00:22:14that
00:22:14made my knees want to give out. I stood there completely still, my mind like, day one? That
00:22:21means every thought? Every single insane thing I've been thinking about him? Every single one.
00:22:28He 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
00:22:40open up and 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 of
00:22:53his 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
00:23:04against my spine. Still trying to run from me? There was something dangerous in his voice now.
00:23:10Not anger exactly. Something darker. Something tightly leashed. I wasn't running. I just, I mean...
00:23:17I could not form a proper sentence. My mouth was denying everything while my thoughts were already
00:23:22betraying me. I don't want to run. I'm just scared. Scared of jail. Scared of losing this job. Scared
00:23:31I'll actually let him do whatever he wants. Ethan let out one quiet laugh. Jail? That is what you're
00:23:37scared of? His fingers caught my jaw and tipped my chin up. Those eyes were always so cold. Not now.
00:23:44Now they looked like they could burn me alive. You weren't scared when you were imagining my pants
00:23:49on the floor. And taking everything I have. My breath caught. That was private. Not to me.
00:23:57His thumb brushed along my jaw. Slow enough to make my entire body tighten. Jade, listen to me.
00:24:04His voice dropped lower. I'm not calling the police. I swallowed hard. I'm not firing you.
00:24:10He leaned closer. Every word deliberate. I'm done holding back. I'm going to give you
00:24:18every filthy thing you've been begging for. My breathing fell apart completely. Every word
00:24:25out of his mouth landed like a hook, catching on every nerve in my body. Give me what I want.
00:24:30Healy just said that. Does he even understand what he's offering? I do. He dipped his head,
00:24:36the tip of his nose brushing mine, his voice rough and low. From the day you walked into my office,
00:24:41I knew exactly what was going through your head. I didn't send you away. I didn't let you go.
00:24:46I kept pulling you closer on purpose. His hand settled firmly on my waist,
00:24:50strong but not forcing. Like he was giving me one final chance to back out.
00:24:55Ask yourself why. I opened my mouth, but no words came out.
00:24:58Why? Unless you actually want me just as badly? There it is.
00:25:03Then he pulled me in and kissed me hard. It was not tentative. It was not polite. It was not
00:25:08the
00:25:08careful, controlled kiss of a man asking permission with every breath. It was hunger finally breaking
00:25:13through restraint. Weeks of cold composure cracked open all at once, and the man underneath was
00:25:19anything but calm. One hand held the back of my head, keeping me from retreating. The other traced
00:25:24my waist, his touch leaving heat everywhere it landed. I could not breathe. My hands found his
00:25:29shoulders on their own. Fingers digging into the expensive fabric of his suit jacket.
00:25:34This man cannot be real. No one this controlled should kiss like this.
00:25:38Ethan pulled back half an inch, his mouth still brushing mine.
00:25:41Stay with me.
00:25:42Then he kissed me again. Deeper this time. Slower. More deliberate. Like he had decided I was done
00:25:49running, and he intended to make sure I remembered it. The storage room felt hotter by the second.
00:25:54His hand found the slit of my red dress and slipped beneath the fabric, his fingers grazing
00:25:59the inside of my thigh. The sound escaped before I could stop it. My whole body went soft against
00:26:04him. Ethan'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.
00:26:20His hand was just about to move again when the storage room door exploded inward from a single
00:26:25kick. Victoria's voice rang down the entire corridor.
00:26:30Everyone, get over here. I found her. Frost Capital's new assistant is locked in a storage
00:26:34room during a company gala with some random man. Security, get them out here now.
00:26:39Victoria had brought security guards, senior executives, and half the gala with her. Her face was twisted
00:26:45with triumph, like 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,
00:27:07pressed against the wall in his arms. Victoria's scream died in her throat. Ethan's jacket came down over
00:27:13my shoulders, heavy with cedar and body heat, covering me completely. He pulled me back against
00:27:19his chest, shielding me from every stare in the doorway. His shirt was rumpled. His collar hung
00:27:24open. His belt was half undone. And those eyes, usually distant and untouchable, were burning now
00:27:31with something dark enough to make every person at that door step back. He turned his head and swept
00:27:36the room with one look. Who the hell gave you permission to kick down my door?
00:27:40Mr. Mr. Frost? Her legs gave out. She dropped straight to the floor, her face white as paper.
00:27:48She had spent the whole night setting a trap for me. She had dragged half the company here to watch
00:27:53my downfall. But she never imagined the man she would catch with me would be Ethan Frost himself.
00:27:58I stayed tucked against Ethan's chest, feeling his heartbeat under my cheek. And for once I did not
00:28:04even try to hide my satisfaction. Well, surprise Victoria, you tried to ruin my night, and now
00:28:10he's about 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 the
00:28:26crowd. 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
00:28:39in the next room. Victoria was still screaming as security dragged her away.
00:28:44Mr. Frost! You can't fire me over this! That little slut seduced 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
00:29:03walking. Mr. Frost! Put me down! I can walk! I hung upside down against his back, half-heartedly
00:29:10patting his shoulder blades. He didn't stop. He carried me straight through the executive corridor
00:29:15and up to the penthouse suite at the top of the building. The suite door flew open with one powerful
00:29:20kick. Then it slammed shut and locked. The world spun, and I landed on the enormous soft bed,
00:29:27somewhere between being thrown and placed. Before I could even sit up, Ethan came down over me all
00:29:31that intense, controlled power aimed straight at my body. His tie was already in his hand. He dropped
00:29:37it to the floor. Both palms pressed into the mattress on either side of my head, and those dark eyes
00:29:42had
00:29:43completely given up any pretense of being cold. We got interrupted earlier. His voice was rough and low,
00:29:48his breath hot against my face. We were way past pretending. He could hear every thought in my
00:29:54head. There was nothing left to hide. Something inside me finally broke. I reached up, grabbed his
00:30:00collar, and looked him straight in the eyes. We barely got started. You've been listening to every
00:30:07dirty thought. I've had this whole time, haven't you? I've been holding back for weeks. Tonight I'm done
00:30:15holding back. I let one finger trace slowly down the center of his chest. Something dark shifted in
00:30:21his eyes. The last bit of restraint in him snapped. He repeated my own thoughts back to me, his voice
00:30:27low
00:30:28and deliberate. That body looks incredible. I could ride him into the ground. Jade, if you say stop
00:30:36tonight, we're not stopping. He pulled me into a deep, demanding kiss. The man everyone knew as cold,
00:30:42composed, and completely uninterested in women turned out to be absolutely devastating the moment the door
00:30:48closed. That night, I learned exactly what happens when a man with that much self-control finally lets it
00:30:55snap. He was relentless. Thorough. Like a man who had spent years starving in the desert and had
00:31:00finally found the one thing he wanted. Once he had me he had no intention of letting go. He found
00:31:05every
00:31:06weak spot I had and used them against me again and again, until I was clinging to him and begging
00:31:10him
00:31:10to slow down. I'm a succubus. I don't beg. And yet here I was. By morning, pale light spilled through
00:31:17the
00:31:17floor-to-ceiling windows. I opened my eyes feeling like I had survived a wreck. Every part of me ached
00:31:23in
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
00:31:52man who had ruined my dignity only a few hours ago. His lips brushed the back of my neck. Sounds
00:31:58like last night still wasn't enough. My whole body went tense. Ethan gave a quiet laugh and was already
00:32:04rolling me back toward him when every phone on the nightstand lit up at once. The mood snapped.
00:32:09In half a second, Ethan went from lazy and satisfied to ice cold. The temperature in the room seemed to
00:32:15drop 10 degrees. I 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 for 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 so
00:32:56tight his knuckles turned white. He turned to me, his eyes burning with a mix of fury and something far
00:33:02more 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 3 out of 10. I
00:33:27barely touched his hand and HR was already dragging me out. He was a sad little street stack. You are
00:33:32a full
00:33:32five-beg course meal. Why the hell would I even look at anyone else after tasting you? The murderous
00:33:37look on Ethan's face faltered for just a second. The jealousy in his eyes didn't fade. If anything,
00:33:43it burned even hotter. He let out a sharp, humorless laugh and moved toward me. So what you're saying
00:33:48is I'm not satisfying you enough, and you're already thinking about going somewhere else? How many men's
00:33:53abs have you touched exactly? Before I could figure out how to handle a jealous, possessive CEO,
00:33:57his personal line rang. Leo's voice came through on speaker, tense and urgent.
00:34:03Mr. Frost, Victoria and her father, board director Warren, have taken over the top floor conference
00:34:11room with six other board members. They've seen the morning news. They're claiming you're protecting
00:34:18someone with a sexual harassment record, and it's destroying the firm's reputation. Warren is
00:34:25demanding you hand over operational control right now. They've also called the police.
00:34:30Officers are already waiting in the lobby.
00:34:34The jealousy in Ethan's eyes turned ice cold in an instant. 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 woman
00:35:27has the nerve to show her face here after everything she's done. She slammed a stack of surveillance
00:35:31screenshots onto the table. Look at these. Your precious new assistant is a predator. Because of
00:35:37her disgusting scandal, the company stock hit its lower limit this morning. Mr. Frost, if you don't hand her
00:35:42over to the police downstairs right now, you are just as guilty. The room buzzed with whispers. Every
00:35:48eye in the room turned on me like knives. Ethan sat at the head of the table, expression completely
00:35:53blank, fingers tapping slowly against the surface. The silence was suffocating. The board members took
00:36:00it as a sign that Ethan was about to fold and cut me loose. Victoria clearly read it the same
00:36:04way.
00:36:05She stormed around the table in her heels and came straight for me, arm already swinging.
00:36:09You 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
00:36:26meant my strength had nothing to do with how much energy I'd taken lately. He was no match for me.
00:36:31I twisted her wrist and shoved her away hard. She stumbled backward in her heels and crashed
00:36:36hard onto the conference 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.
00:36:58I touched a co-worker. I got fired for it. We were both single, and I accepted the consequences.
00:37:04Is that really worth calling the police? I dropped the photo directly onto Victoria's face.
00:37:09What's more interesting is you, Victoria. Last night, you paid a hacker to illegally break into my
00:37:16former 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 wanna
00:37:37talk about who deserves prison time? Start with yourself. Victoria's face went from gray to deathly white.
00:37:45She was shaking so hard she could barely stay upright. You're making all of this up. None of that is
00:37:52real. I 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
00:38:04gonna find a
00:38:05delivery guy to feed on, and you can deal with the consequences. Though honestly, even when he's just
00:38:10sitting there looking serious, why does he have to be so damn attractive? I wanna crawl into his lap,
00:38:15and kiss him until he loses his voice. Ethan's fingers, which had been steadily tapping the
00:38:20table, suddenly stopped. A flash of something crossed his face. He shot me a quick look that
00:38:26clearly said, control those thoughts right now. His ear had gone noticeably red. He looked away,
00:38:32regained his composure and gave Leo a small nod. Leo stepped forward and pressed a button. The large
00:38:38screen came alive, showing every transaction Victoria had made the night before, followed by a confession
00:38:43video. Leo had clearly secured himself. The room erupted. Warren watched his daughter collapse and
00:38:49finally dropped his smug smile. But this was a man who had survived decades on Wall Street.
00:38:54He recovered quickly. Mr. Frost, impulsive decisions have consequences at your age.
00:39:00Victoria made a mistake and I'll handle her privately. But don't forget that hundred
00:39:04billion cross-border acquisition, I brookered it. The other party trusts me and only me.
00:39:08He lifted his chin arrogantly. You move against us today and that deal vanishes immediately.
00:39:15I leaned against the table and studied the old man's self-satisfied face.
00:39:19Something twisted in my stomach. I closed my eyes and fully opened the succubus ability I had been
00:39:24holding back all week. Great. Lost. 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 in
00:39:43the Cayman Islands and Kyprus, paid for with laundered money from this very deal. The shell companies are
00:39:49even named after his mistress's initials. He's actually that stupid. He moved 40 million into one of them
00:39:57just this month. At the head of the table, Ethan's fingers went completely still on the folder.
00:40:02He was receiving every shocking detail straight through my thoughts. He slowly raised his head.
00:40:08The way he looked at Warren now was pure predator. The look of someone who already knew
00:40:12every card on the table and found the whole game boring. The corner of his mouth curved slightly.
00:40:17The hundred billion acquisition, 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.
00:40:25Mr. Frost? Ethan pressed the remote without another word. The screen switched to a full
00:40:30forensic audit report. The critical findings highlighted in stark red. Page after page of
00:40:36transactions, layered offshore shell company charts, every thread leading back to one name. Warren.
00:40:42Ethan rose slowly from his chair, then slammed a thick stack of documents onto the conference table.
00:40:47Papers 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
00:40:58kind of evidence staring you in the face, you don't even get to beg for mercy. The senior directors who
00:41:03had been backing him went pale. One by one, they quietly scooted their chairs back, desperate to distance
00:41:09themselves from the father-daughter disaster. Warren's legs gave out. His face turned ash white as he
00:41:15collapsed back into his chair, lips trembling, unable to speak a single word. I leaned against the table
00:41:21and watched Ethan, backlit, spine straight, completely dismantling the old fox without breaking a sweat.
00:41:27I couldn't help myself. God, he's unreal. My knees are gone. There it is. My Secubia instincts are firing
00:41:35hard. I want to throw him down on this conference table, right now and ride him until he can't think
00:41:41straight. Ethan's posture stiffened slightly. At an angle no one else could see, the tips of his ears
00:41:47turned a deep red. He swung his head around and shot me a sharp look that said, control yourself
00:41:52right now. I stuck my tongue out at him. Just then, the conference room doors burst open. Several officers
00:41:57from the financial crimes unit walked in, faces grim and determined. Warren, you're under arrest for
00:42:03embezzlement and large-scale money laundering. Come with us. The cold click of handcuffs snapped
00:42:08around Warren's wrists. Victoria went wild next, thrashing and screaming that I had done this to her,
00:42:14but two officers pinned her down and cuffed her anyway. The pair who had been untouchable minutes
00:42:19earlier were dragged out of the room like common criminals. Dead silence fell over the room. The
00:42:24remaining directors were sweating through their suits, barely daring to breathe. Ethan swept the room
00:42:29with a cold, measured stare. Does anyone here have a problem with Miss Summers staying at this company?
00:42:35Every director shook their heads frantically. No problem. Absolutely none. We're done here.
00:42:41In under ten seconds, every director bolted, clutching their files and nearly tripping over
00:42:46each other to get out. The moment the door clicked shut, Ethan grabbed the remote and locked the
00:42:51conference room doors. The floor-to-ceiling blinds descended slowly, cutting off every bit of the
00:42:57Manhattan skyline. The room went dark. I was reaching for my glass of water, still riding the
00:43:03adrenaline when Ethan crossed the room in long, powerful strides. His presence hit me before he
00:43:08even touched me. That rich cedar scent mixed with raw heat. He grabbed my wrist and pressed me hard
00:43:13against the 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, lifted me off
00:43:43the
00:43:43ground and set me down in the middle of the paper-covered conference table.
00:43:46Conference table. Cameras are off. Now I want you to show me every dirty thought that's been running
00:43:52through that head of yours. All of it. He pressed forward and kissed me hard.
00:43:57Several hours later, after we had thoroughly used every inch of that conference room,
00:44:02an anonymous investigative report landed at a media office somewhere in New York.
00:44:06The 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.
00:44:17Possible 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,
00:44:30Who is she really? Tore through every financial outlet. The piece questioned my complete lack of
00:44:35digital footprint or work history before five years ago. I sat at my desk staring at the blazing red
00:44:41headline, palms sweating. This was bad. My five years ago, belonged to someone else's body in
00:44:47another life. There was no paper trail because there couldn't be one. Around me, the interns and
00:44:52junior analysts had dropped all deference. I was nervously tugging at the hem of my blazer when the
00:44:58executive suite door opened. Ethan walked out holding a printed copy of the report, his expression
00:45:03ice cold. He didn't look at anyone else. He caught my wrist and pulled me straight into his private lounge.
00:45:09The door shut. He pressed me down onto the sofa, sat across from me and stared at the report in
00:45:14silence
00:45:15for a long moment. Here it comes. He's going to ask who I really am and how I appeared out
00:45:20of
00:45:20thin air. What do I even say? That I'm a suckabor who needs men's intimate energy to survive? Is he
00:45:26going to think I'm a monster and try to lock me away? My mind was spiraling into disaster scenarios.
00:45:32Across from me, a vein ticked in Ethan's temple. He finally took a slow breath and set the report down.
00:45:38What do you want for dinner tonight? I froze completely.
00:45:43Every lie I had prepared got stuck in my throat. I just stared at him. You're not going to ask?
00:45:49The whole internet is calling me a spy or a sleeper agent? Ethan stood and straightened his
00:45:54cuffs with that same calm composure. I'm curious. Then why aren't you- Because I've already heard
00:46:00every single thought. He met my eyes, patient and certain. The ones when you can't sleep. The ones when
00:46:05you're panicking about prison. The ones where you imagined me locking you up. I heard all of it.
00:46:10He stepped closer and caged me against the sofa with his body. I know what you are. A creature
00:46:15who survives on men's energy. That's it. What else do you want me to ask? He had known all along,
00:46:21and still draped his jacket over me in the break room. Still protected me. Still put Victoria and her
00:46:27father behind bars. A thousand years of watching people's faces twist in fear, disgust, or greed when
00:46:33they learned 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
00:48:33restructuring document with one smooth stroke and spoke calmly. Effective immediately, the senior
00:48:38director position is dissolved. Jade Summers is now my executive advisor, with authority equal to mine
00:48:43on all matters. I nearly jumped out of my seat in the corner. Okay, wow, that's a serious power move.
00:48:49But he fought that hard for me and didn't even ask if I wanted it. Sure, the position gives me
00:48:53better access to high quality energy, but I was planning to stay low key. This dominantic man. I want
00:48:59to wrap my legs around him and make him pay for it. Ethan went completely still at the head of
00:49:03the table.
00:49:04He set his 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
00:50:25table is even worse. Combined, they don't come close to one finger of my man. Across the table,
00:50:32Ethan's fingers tightened slightly around his glass the moment I thought, my man. He was clearly fighting
00:50:38a smile. Ethan lifted his glass to hide the small indulgent smile tugging at his lips. His dark eyes
00:50:47found mine across the room, sending heat straight through me. Nothing to say, Mrs. Summers? Could
00:50:54the media be right that you have no real history at all? I was about to handle it my way
00:51:00when Ethan
00:51:00set his glass down. The entire room went silent. He stood, walked around the table, and stopped directly
00:51:07behind me. In front of every major player in Manhattan, he laced his fingers through mine and held my hand
00:51:12tight. Does anyone here have a problem with what's mine? His voice was quiet, but the word mine landed
00:51:19like a hammer. Hammer flashes exploded around us. Oh my god, that was the hottest thing I've seen in a
00:51:27thousand years. I'm in trouble. His energy is pouring into me and I need to drag him to the nearest
00:51:35bathroom
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 the
00:52:07doorway jacket off. Comfortable in that chair?
00:52:14I stood and wrapped my arms around his neck, pressing myself against him. Crisis handled. Time to
00:52:21deliver on my promise to drain him completely and make him beg. Right here. Right now. The thought hit
00:52:28him hard. His eyes dropped to the slit in my skirt. His control finally broke. He pressed me against the
00:52:34door and locked it. You've been driving me crazy with those thoughts every day. If you try to run now,
00:52:40you're not leaving this room for three days. His lips moved down my collarbone while his hands worked
00:52:47urgently at the red dress. His 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. He's
00:53:00actually tearing the dress. We're in the executive suite. There are people right outside this door.
00:53:05Survival instinct kicked in hard. I yelped, ducked, and slipped out of his grip, scrambling behind the
00:53:11desk. Mr. Frost, please control yourself. It's still business hours. If Leo walks in, we're both finished.
00:53:20I crouched behind the desk, trying to fix my ruined dress. Ethan stood against the door,
00:53:25chest heaving, staring at the spot where I had been. The vein in his temple pulsed. You spend every
00:53:30waking second fantasizing about this. But the moment it starts happening, you run faster than anyone I've
00:53:35ever seen. Are you torturing me on purpose? I 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 the
00:54:03helpless desire underneath. Some of the fury left his face. He exhaled, crossed the room and gently pulled
00:54:10me out from behind the desk. Instead of continuing, he carefully fixed the broken strap of my dress with
00:54:15surprising patience. I stared at his profile and felt my heart do things it had no right to do.
00:54:21This man isn't fair. Top-tier energy is one thing, but this? I've been doing this for a thousand years.
00:54:26I cannot be falling for a human CEO. I refuse.
00:54:30His hands stilled. He looked down at me with quiet certainty.
00:54:34Tonight, my place in the hills. We're not in the office there. 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 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 could hear
00:55:25everything. Can you let me finish a thought before you respond? He walked a few steps, then stopped and
00:55:30turned around slowly. His dark eyes held mine with complete certainty. Jade. Just my name low rough
00:55:36and warm. Like he had been saying it for years. My heart dropped. It's over. I'm completely done for.
00:55:45The first week at the estate wasn't the chaos I expected. Every night Ethan pulled me against his
00:55:51burning body, but outside of that he showed surprising restraint. That only made my instincts
00:55:56scream louder that something was wrong. He had been coming home later and later, holding closed-door
00:56:01meetings with Leo in the study. Every time I approached the conversation died instantly.
00:56:06I leaned against the hallway wall, fruit plate in hand, spiraling.
00:56:11Does he think I'm too much trouble? Is he about to cut me loose at the next board meeting?
00:56:16Or has he already arranged with some secret lab to study me and lock me away in a cage?
00:56:22The study door opened. Ethan caught the full tail end of my spiral. His expression shifted rapidly.
00:56:29The vein in his temple throbbed. He took the plate from my hands, pulled me into the study,
00:56:34and pressed me against the desk. Jade Summers. Out of all the thoughts that run through your head,
00:56:41is even one of them capable of trusting me?
00:56:49I looked sideways, avoiding his eyes. I'm just reading the signs. The internet already says I'm
00:56:54nobody. You were gonna cut me loose eventually. Ethan laughed without humor. His fingers tightened
00:56:59on my waist, forcing me to meet his gaze. Cut you loose? Take a look at this.
00:57:05He dropped a thick legal document in front of me. The title was clear.
00:57:10Irrevocable permanent declaration of asset consolidation and joint equity. He had
00:57:15transferred half of all his core assets, including Frost Capital, into my name permanently. I
00:57:19couldn't speak. He just handed me half his life behind my back? On Wall Street, where everything
00:57:26is calculated? He split his entire fortune with a woman who barely exists? Is he insane? My eyes filled
00:57:34with 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.
00:57:49I stared at the documents, speechless for a long time. He gave me half of everything just because
00:57:55I was scared. This man must have some kind of beautiful brain damage. No brain damage. I snapped
00:58:02my head up and glared at him. Can you stop finishing my thoughts? Then stop thinking them
00:58:08so loudly. I took a deep breath and laid everything out. Ethan, I'm not from this world. I crossed over
00:58:14a few months ago. The person in those old photos isn't me. Every record I have here is fake. You
00:58:19just
00:58:19split your billion dollar empire with someone who doesn't legally exist. Are you actually crazy?
00:58:23Are you done? He leaned back, completely calm. First, I don't care if your identity is real.
00:58:28Second, I didn't do this out of pity. I did it because I wanted to. Third, you crossed over.
00:58:33That makes this even simpler. He leaned forward, his presence overwhelming.
00:58:38If you have nothing in this world, then you need a home even more.
00:58:41Home? This pure golden energy man just offered a suckbo a home.
00:58:44I want to rip his clothes off and destroy him right now. We're just employer and employee.
00:58:49As of now, we're full partners, and you're my fiancee.
00:58:52I 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, all I wanted was
00:59:28to steal enough premium energy to survive. Somehow I ended up owning half a billion dollar empire and
00:59:34becoming the fiancee of Manhattan's most celibate man, completely wrapped around his finger.
00:59:39Did I completely flip the suck-a-poor survival manual upside down? I was supposed to be the one
00:59:45running circles around him. How did I end up the one getting reeled in with property deeds and warm
00:59:50milk? This is dangerous. The more I think about it, the hungrier I get. My legs are going weak again.
00:59:57I tossed on the silk sheets until two in the morning, then gave up and headed to the kitchen
01:00:01for water. The moment I pushed the door open, I froze. Ethan stood at the counter in a loose black
01:00:06silk robe, collar open, warming milk. Moonlight poured through the window, highlighting his collar
01:00:11bone and the hard lines of his chest. That rich, intoxicating wave of pure masculine energy slammed
01:00:17into me. Figured you couldn't sleep. He turned, dark eyes carrying a lazy heat and handed me the warm mug.
01:00:22I swallowed hard, fighting the urge to lunge at him, and hesitated. You really don't mind? I'm not even
01:00:28human, and 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 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 mug
01:00:49from my hands, and set it aside. You're the cleanest thing I've ever met. You think it, you say it,
01:00:56at least in your head. You're hungry, you admit you want to devour me. You're scared, you admit
01:01:00you're scared. Even 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. 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 dirty
01:01:17line I could come up with. My legs are done. I want him to pin me against this counter and
01:01:21take me right
01:01:22here right now. The next day at Frost Capital, everything looked normal on the surface. I sat
01:01:29in my new executive office, tugging at my collar replaying his low, burning voice from the kitchen.
01:01:35How does a man made of ice become even more dangerous when he gets warm? Did he secretly
01:01:38take an advanced flirting master class? My phone buzzed. Embarrassment shot through me. I jumped up and
01:01:46stormed down to the executive suite in my heels. Ethan Frost, can you stop eavesdropping on my
01:01:52thoughts every single second? Ethan looked up from his contracts, leaned back in his chair,
01:01:56tie perfect, expression cool and untouchable. When you think things that loudly, it's impossible
01:02:02to ignore. I fell apart. What do you mean loudly? I was just doing an objective review of your body
01:02:08from last night. What if I think about you locking that door right now and pressing me down on this
01:02:13desk?
01:02:13Is that loud enough? Three seconds later, Ethan set down his pen. He stood, shrugged off his jacket,
01:02:20and locked the door with a click. Yes. He walked toward me with calm certainty and planted both hands
01:02:30on the desk, caging me in. We either quiet down in there or we handle it right now. I forgot
01:02:35how to
01:02:36breathe. My body melted against him even as I tried to keep up the act. What do you mean, handle
01:02:42it?
01:02:43Ethan lowered his head until his lips nearly touched mine, voice rough. For example, finishing
01:02:48what we started in the kitchen last night. This man is flirting while his ears are turning bright
01:02:53red. That contrast is criminal. It should be illegal. Jade, don't look at me like that. I can hear you.
01:03:01That evening, Ethan drove me to a quiet private restaurant in Manhattan. Candlelight, expensive red
01:03:07wine, no staff hovering. I wore a tight black slip dress. He had loosened his tie and undone the top
01:03:14button of his shirt. Without the tie, he looks a little less like a monk, but that tiny hint of
01:03:19recklessness makes him even more dangerous. That throat, that collarbone, he's perfect.
01:03:24Ethan's fingers tightened around his wine glass. Thank you for the review. I bit into my stake and
01:03:30shot him a look. I was thinking that in my head. I heard every word. I gave up fighting and
01:03:36slid my
01:03:37hand under 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 gonna get on top and drain me until I'm begging for
01:04:05mercy. I nearly choked on the wine. For the record, I meant every word of that. Ethan's hand froze.
01:04:11His eyes ignited with raw hunger. Is that so? Then starting tonight,
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. And this
01:04:50human is about to take me down. The dinner lasted two full hours. By the end, my legs were weak
01:04:58from
01:04:58the constant wave of his energy. Ethan barely spoke, but his thumb kept tracing slow circles over my knuckles,
01:05:04proper on the surface, but full of promise underneath. I set down my fork and stared at his handsome,
01:05:10cold face. I've always wondered. When exactly did you realize I wasn't human?
01:05:17Day one. The second you walked into my office. Day one? All you knew was that I had a very
01:05:25active
01:05:25inner mana law shock? It was more than that. He leaned back, exuding pure power. When you walked in,
01:05:34something about you felt different. I've sensed greed and corruption in people since I was a child.
01:05:41But with you, it was bold, yes. Your thoughts about me were wild. But your desire was pure.
01:05:51It wasn't until you screamed internally that you were a succubus that I confirmed it.
01:05:57So you knew I was some kind of energy-hungry creature who wanted to devour you and you still hired
01:06:02me?
01:06:03What kind of risk management is that? Ethan suddenly leaned across the table, gripped my jaw,
01:06:08and tilted my face up, eyes burning. Most desire I see is full of lie and power plays.
01:06:14Yours was honest. You wanted me because your instincts said so.
01:06:19That makes you more real than anyone who's ever walked through my door.
01:06:23Help. I spend all day mentally trying to get into this man's pants and he calls that clean and pure?
01:06:31My values are fine. I've just finally found the real thing.
01:06:38When we left the restaurant, a light rain had just stopped. Ethan draped his jacket over my
01:06:43shoulders without a word and took my hand, fingers tightly laced. We walked slowly down the quiet
01:06:49sidewalk. This might be the first time it's just us. No reporters, no drama. Just him walking with me like
01:06:56a normal boyfriend. What's the M for? I heard everything you just thought.
01:07:05I laughed and leaned into him, going soft against his shoulder.
01:07:09Tell me, Mr. CEO, you've really never dated before? No Harris's or models ever caught your eye?
01:07:14No. Then how are you so good at all of this? You talk like you came with built-in charm
01:07:17software.
01:07:18Ethan stopped under a street lamp. He cradled the back of my head and tilted my face up.
01:07:22Because with you, I don't need experience. The second I hear your thoughts, I just know what to do.
01:07:28He kissed my forehead, then the bridge of my nose, stopping just at the corner of my mouth.
01:07:34Let's go home.
01:07:37He said home. Not the estate. Home.
01:07:44My 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? I scawed 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.
01:08:27My face burned. I do not.
01:08:32You just finished planning exactly which position you want to use tonight. To drain me completely.
01:08:37I gave up pretending. I walked over, straddled his lap and hooked a finger in his shirt.
01:08:42Since you hear everything anyway, this weekend. You and me at a normal movie theater. No suit,
01:08:48no Leo, no meetings. A real date. You in? 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
01:09:10casual. Every woman nearby stared. I wrapped my arm around his, claiming him. Look at you,
01:09:15out of your suit and still causing chaos. Hearts are breaking left and right. The corner of Ethan's
01:09:20mouth curved slightly. I never cared before. But now I only wait for one person. I'm done.
01:09:28This ice prince saying sweet things so sincerely is more lethal than anything from the abyss.
01:09:33In the dark theater, his energy rolled over me in waves. Halfway through the movie, I put my hand
01:09:39over his. He turned his palm and locked our fingers together, tight and burning. By the time the lights
01:09:45came up, we were both breathing harder. In the lobby, I teased him lightly. Your palm was sweaty
01:09:51the whole time. Your body temperature was running higher than mine. That's because you had a death
01:09:58grip on my hand. Ethan pulled me out of the crowd, bent down, and brushed his lips against my ear.
01:10:03That's because you never once thought about letting go.
01:10:09On the ride home, Ethan and I sat in the back with our hands still locked. 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. I buried my face in Ethan's
01:11:14chest and laughed until I shoved. Late that night at the estate,
01:11:19Ethan found me on the sofa scrolling news. Don't waste energy on that garbage. He took my phone
01:11:26and pulled me against him. I'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. The resonance isn't a curse. You're not draining me.
01:11:43It goes both ways. I need you too. You gave me something I never had. The feeling of being truly
01:11:51alive.
01:11:52You're scared I'll run. To protect you. Yes. 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.
01:12:09Right 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.
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. He continued the call in fluent,
01:12:44ruthless German while I watched him work. Who would believe it? The hardest man in America
01:12:53is secretly this earnest guy who doesn't know how to say he loves me without looking lost.
01:13:00Ethan missed half a beat in his sentence, then recovered with icy precision and ended the call.
01:13:05He 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.
01:13:23You called me an emotionally stempid idiot who can't express himself.
01:13:28That was in my head. You can't punish thought crimes. Ethan leaned in, breath hot against my lips.
01:13:33You'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.
01:14:23A real one.
01:14:26My throat tightened. He's been doing this quietly since I moved in.
01:14:31He never planned for me to stay in the shadows.
01:14:34Leo left. 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. No succubus could resist a cold,
01:16:07celibate man who decides to love this obsessively. I dropped my glass,
01:16:11slid my hands into his collar and straddled his waist. Since your plan is this perfect,
01:16:16I think we've earned some very high returns. Up here, with no one to interrupt us, don't you think?
01:16:23That night on the rooftop, we lost ourselves in each other under the Manhattan skyline.
01:16:29Straddling him, taking everything he gave, 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. You came from there, but now you're in my bed.
01:16:55By normal logic, shouldn't you have called a priest to extorsate me? Ethan gave a rare,
01:17:02wicked smile. Send you back so you can put your hands on some other man's body? Not a chance.
01:17:08He kissed my collarbone.
01:17:13It's complicated here, but you chose my company as your buffet. That means for the rest of your life,
01:17:21you only eat at my table. After a thousand years of hunger, this feels like the luckiest detour in
01:17:29existence. Ethan went still, then laughed and gave my ass a sharp smack. In the middle of this,
01:17:36the best you can think is cosmically lucky. Try I'm the lucky one. 30 years old. And I finally found
01:17:45my little monster.
01:17:49Weeks later, the dust on Wall Street finally settled. Leo and the legal team completely
01:17:54dismantled the Cross Foundation's network. Warren got 12 years. Victoria got three years for defamation
01:18:00and illegal hacking. She wouldn't show her face in New York again. I watched the footage of her
01:18:05sentencing with zero emotion. Natural consequences. If she'd focused on doing her job instead of
01:18:12trying to destroy me, she'd still have a career. Speaking of the sofa, the leather is nice.
01:18:20But last week when Ethan had me pinned here and used his tide. Across the room, Ethan's pen nearly
01:18:26tore through the contract. He looked up slowly, eyes blazing with barely contained fire. Jade Summers,
01:18:34you've replayed last week on that sofa at least 10 times today. I tucked my dress lower and looked
01:18:39at him innocently while turning up the heat in my thoughts. So, quality control? And if I'm also
01:18:47thinking about a live demonstration, right now on this sofa, with the door locked. Ethan took a slow
01:18:55breath, stood and started unbuttoning his shirt, revealing hard lines of muscle. Then 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
01:19:19desk again, you won't like what happens next. It's when the most controlled man in the world turns
01:19:27dangerous with a belt and that look, that's not a man anymore. That's a natural disaster. He pushed me
01:19:33down onto the sofa, pinned my wrists and wrapped the belt around them. He bit my lower lip voice wrecked.
01:19:38I heard that. Focus.
01:19:43Three months later, in deep autumn, the first snow fell on Manhattan. Ethan had bought a new penthouse
01:19:49with a breathtaking view over the city. I stood at the floor-to-ceiling windows when a hot,
01:19:54bare hand pulled me back against his solid body. New place. Do you like it? I love it. So,
01:20:00Mr. 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. Not a recreation. I want every day you spend in
01:20:11this world to have this view, your city and mine, together. I turned, let my hands slide down his
01:20:17abs, and hooked into his robe. One 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. That bulletproof asset declaration outrangs any
01:20:35diamond. For a Sukfa who only cares about energy, does it really matter? I thought stubbornly.
01:20:42Probably not. Because whether it's the assets or that insane body of his, I decided long ago I'm
01:20:49keeping both. For life. No returns. Heard every word. The last of his cool distance melted. He pulled
01:20:56out a small velvet box. Inside was a simple, elegant, antique silver band. Had it ready since
01:21:02the day you moved in. Last night, after you wore me out and fell asleep, I measured your finger. He
01:21:06slid the ring onto my finger with complete ownership. Perfect fit. Of course it is. This man is precise
01:21:13about everything. For 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 and
01:21:26giving her a real reason to stay. Thank you for falling out of whatever clack in the universe
01:21:33you came from and landing in my office. He cupped the back of my head and kissed me back, deep
01:21:38and warm.
01:21:39Outside, snow fell quietly over the glittering city. After countless years of hunger, my soul had finally
01:21:46found home.
