Introduction

«¿Es esto lo que quieres, bebé? Ruégame».
Se burla de mí con un dedo en la entrada.
No quiero jugar ahora. Estoy a punto de llegar al clímax.


Cuando amas a alguien tienes que liberarlo y si está destinado a ser así, debería volver, ¿verdad? Pero, ¿y si amas a dos personas? No dos personas cualquiera... ¡Hermanos gemelos! ¿Y resulta que uno es tu jefe?
Cassie sabía que esto no iba a terminar bien, pero ¿qué es lo peor que podría pasar?

Chapter 1

Sabía que algo estaba extremadamente mal cuando escuchó el ruido proveniente de abajo esa noche, pero no podía identificar exactamente qué era. Cassie sabía que su única esperanza sería llamar a alguien, a cualquiera, pero recordó que estaba completamente sola. Estar sola era el peor sentimiento del mundo.

—Llamar abajo tiene que ser la cosa más ridícula que se me podría ocurrir —susurró en silencio para sí misma mientras se deslizaba por la enorme casa vacía buscando la fuente del ruido en lugar de huir para salvar su vida.

Cassie estaba cuidando la casa de su mejor amiga extremadamente rica, Alexis Winters. Alexis se había ido de viaje para ver a sus padres durante las vacaciones de invierno. Cassie le había contado a Alexis sus planes para las vacaciones, cómo estaba contenta de quedarse en su apartamento sola, hacer más horas de prácticas en el trabajo (aunque no lo necesitara), ponerse al día con algunas lecturas ligeras y tal vez incluso adelantarse en el programa de lectura del próximo semestre. (Sí, Cassie era ese tipo de chica), estudiante de sobresaliente, oradora de la ceremonia de graduación, votada como la más probable de tener éxito en el anuario de su escuela secundaria. Oh, si tan solo la vieran ahora acobardada en una gran casa tipo mansión con una zapatilla en la mano para protegerse, buscando un ruido en la oscuridad, ¡JA! Era la protagonista típica de cada película de terror...

—¿Por qué acepté esto? —se preguntó—. No podría haber dicho simplemente que no cuando Alexis me lo pidió, ¿verdad? Ahora, estoy completamente sola en esta casa espeluznante siguiendo un ruido extraño preguntándome de dónde demonios viene.

Cassie había agotado todas las opciones buscando este misterioso ruido cuando de repente, ¡BANG!, de la nada, la basura había caído al suelo. Miró alrededor para ver qué podría haber causado que se volcara de esa manera, miró dentro y salió corriendo el gato de Alexis, Tabitha.

—Estúpido animal —gritó mientras levantaba la basura.

Corriendo de vuelta al dormitorio donde estaba durmiendo, murmuró—: Debería haber aceptado la oferta de Jericho y hacer más prácticas en la editorial, estúpida, estúpida Cassie.

Llegó al dormitorio y cerró la puerta de un golpe, todavía maldiciendo a Tabitha el gato, cuando se dio cuenta de que su teléfono estaba iluminado. Eso solo podía significar una de dos cosas: 1. Alexis la estaba llamando por milésima vez para comprobar y asegurarse de que estaba bien y no demasiado asustada por estar en esta casa gigantesca pero glamorosa sola, o 2. Era Jericho preguntando cuándo iba a estar disponible para revisar esos manuscritos con él. Podía escucharlo ahora mismo:

—Por cierto, señorita Knox, es su trabajo como mi pasante estar aquí independientemente de los planes o promesas a otras personas.

Su segunda frase favorita para Cassie siempre era:

—¿Sabe cuántas personas matarían por una oportunidad como la que tiene ahora?

Siempre era el trabajo de Jericho hacer que Cassie sintiera que estaba en el área equivocada de especialización.

Hace un rápido movimiento hacia su teléfono como si fuera Jericho, no tenía idea de cuánto tiempo había pasado desde que él envió el mensaje, y ciertamente no quería hacer esperar a su majestad por una respuesta. Por suerte, solo era Alexis; le había enviado a Cassie 4 mensajes desde el momento en que comenzó a seguir el ruido, que pertenecía al monstruoso gato de Alexis, hasta ahora. Cassie responde con un mensaje simple pero directo: «Todo bien aquí, ¿cómo está la familia?». Esperaba que eso le hiciera darse cuenta de que Cassie estaba, de hecho, viva y respirando, y tal vez incluso se relajara un poco, pero todos sabíamos que eso nunca iba a suceder. Así que se zambulló en la cama más cómoda en la que había dormido, con las sábanas de mayor cantidad de hilos que jamás había conocido, y esperó a que el sueño la dominara, y en unos pocos momentos lo hizo.

Bien, déjenme presentarme antes de comenzar mi historia. Mi nombre es Cassandra Amelia Knox, Cassie para abreviar, si no les importa. Tengo 19 años y soy estudiante de Literatura Inglesa en Berkeley. Hago prácticas en una de las editoriales más prestigiosas del mundo, que es propiedad del hombre más rico de nuestro siglo, y mi jefe, el mayor imbécil de todos. Jericho Théodore Dean. Mi mejor amiga se llama Alexis Winters, es rica, ridículamente rica, como si el papá Warbucks se encontrara con los Kardashians rica. ¡Espera! Creo que podría conocer a los Kardashians; tendré que comprobar eso. De todos modos, me pierdo en mis pensamientos, ella es rica. Está estudiando estudios de la mujer, no es que necesite trabajar. Supongo que todos necesitan un pasatiempo, ¿verdad? Y, por supuesto, dinero para financiar dicho pasatiempo, o de lo contrario, ¿cómo habría entrado en Berkeley en primer lugar? No, no estoy hablando mal de ella a sus espaldas. Ella deja que todos sepan que no estaría aquí si no fuera por su papá rico, por supuesto, haciendo una llamada al decano sobre su querida hija. Sí, lo adivinaste, el papá de Alexis es un exalumno de Berkeley. Lo que significa que pone dinero en la escuela. Oh, y ¿mencioné que también tiene un asiento en la junta directiva? 'Ding Ding, Ding'. Lo adivinaste de nuevo, la princesita de papá no tuvo que hacer nada más que presentarse el primer día, increíble, lo sé. No me malinterpreten, Alexis es inteligente. 'No le digas que te lo dije, me matará'.

Ojalá fuera tan fácil para mí, tuve que sacar todas A's y más en cada clase de mi último año y, además, tuve que mantener un promedio de 3.0 o más para que Berkeley siquiera me considerara. Luego, después de todo ese estrés, tuve que averiguar cómo iba a pagar mis tres años aquí. No podía confiar en las becas para cubrir todos los gastos, así que terminé trabajando en 3 trabajos sin futuro como mesera solo para ganar lo suficiente para mi primer año. Así que, sumado a estudiar todo el tiempo, probablemente puedas imaginar cómo fue mi último año, «Aburridooo». No hubo fiestas de fin de año para esta chica. No señor, pero no lo cambiaría por donde estoy ahora. Me encanta aquí. Toda la experiencia universitaria ha cambiado mi perspectiva de la vida, y ahora mismo no es tan sombría. Bueno, ok, si quieres añadir la carga de trabajo, el horario de clases, entonces sí, desde la perspectiva de un extraño parecería así. «¿Por qué te molestarías?», eso es lo que estás pensando, ¿verdad? Pero para mí, esto es todo lo que siempre he querido, y he trabajado muy duro para llegar aquí. De todos modos, eso es suficiente sobre mí y mi aburrida historia de cómo llegué aquí. Oh, también sobre Alexis. ¿Qué tal si adelanto mi sórdida historia y vuelvo a la trama? Probablemente estés muriendo por saber qué va a pasar. Yo sé que sí.

Soft hot lips find the shell of my ear and he whispers, "You think I don't want you?" He pushes his hips forward, grinding into the back of my ass and I groan. "Really?" He chuckles.

"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."

I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.

Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.

"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."

Prince Rafe leans over me, holding himself up on one elbow as he gazes at my face. I feel his eyes wandering over every surface from my brow to my eyes, down my nose, to my lips and chin, and then returning to hold my gaze for a second. The small smile at the corner of his mouth makes me think he likes what he sees.
His hand is cool when it brushes a loose curl from my cheek, but I don’t jerk away from him. I have no idea what’s going on. I don’t understand why I’m here. I don’t know what will happen tomorrow. It seems like a lot of powerful people want me—dead or alive. And yet, all I can think about right now is how badly I want this vampire’s hands on my body.
