Introduction
"You're soaked," he said, voice like gravel. I arched into him, helpless. The city watched through the glass, but I didn't care. Not when his mouth met my body and he devoured me like a man starved. "Jordan," I gasped, my fingers tangled in his thick hair, hips arching instinctively toward his warm mouth. "Louder," he commanded.
In the glittering chaos of Manhattan’s elite, Sophia Bennett reigns—untouchable, composed, and ruthlessly ambitious. As the visionary behind one of New York’s fastest-rising fashion empires, she doesn’t just walk the runway—she owns the spotlight. But when she caught her long-time boyfriend between another woman’s legs, she didn’t scream. She smiled.
And when she walked out, she left him behind—along with his investments, his influence, and every ounce of support her company once relied on. But she promises she won't lose this game.
Then Jordan Pierce walks in. Billionaire. Charming producer. Untamed. All sharp edges and sinful promises. He steps into her world wearing a silk tie and a crooked smile. “Let’s talk about your fashion career,” he says.“I want in on your vision—and maybe on you, too.” Their chemistry? Volatile.Their ambition? Lethal.
In a city where power is the ultimate currency, falling for the wrong man could cost Sophia everything she’s fought to build.
Now, with her world on the edge, Sophia must ask herself: Will she risk everything for the man who might ruin her again, or destroy love before it destroys her?
Chapter 1
Sophia
I stepped out of the elevator onto the top floor of Nathan's building, greeted by a wave of chatter and laughter. His penthouse was transformed into a luxurious wonderland. Flowers cascaded from crystal vases, and thousands of tiny lights twinkled overhead like a private constellation.
My floor-length burgundy gown, my latest design, hugged my curves perfectly. I'd stayed up three nights straight finishing it, determined to showcase my work at Nathan's celebration. Running Bennett Designs meant I rarely had time to create pieces myself anymore, but this was a special exception. Nathan's real estate success deserved my best effort.
As I made my entrance, conversations paused. Eyes tracked my movement across the room. I'd designed the dress with exactly this reaction in mind, the plunging neckline and open back balanced by elegant draping that whispered sex rather than screamed it.
"Well, if it isn't Sophia Bennett, blessing us with her presence," a voice drawled from my left.
I turned to see Richard, one of Nathan's business associates, eyeing me like I was dessert.
"Richard," I nodded coolly. "Still practicing that used car salesman routine?"
"I thought we were friends."
"In your dreams," I laughed, moving past him to grab champagne from a passing server.
I sipped slowly, scanning the room. The usual suspects were all here: investors, socialites, industry rivals. Everyone who mattered in New York's real estate scene had shown up to kiss Nathan's ass after his Westside project sold out in record time.
"Sophia! Darling!" Vivian Holbrook's voice cut through the ambient noise as she barreled toward me, diamonds flashing at her throat. "That dress is divine! One of yours?"
"Fresh off my sewing machine," I confirmed, accepting her air kisses.
"You're wasted on small-batch production," she said, eyeing the craftsmanship. "When are you going to sell that little company and design for someone who matters?"
I kept my smile firmly in place even as anger flared. "Bennett Designs matters to me and our clients. Not everyone needs to see their work mass-produced at Target."
Vivian's face soured. "Well, I only meant—"
"Excuse me," I cut her off, spotting a cluster of potential clients across the room. "Business calls."
I circulated through the crowd, shaking hands and exchanging business cards. Bennett Designs might not be a household name, but we'd carved out our niche, and nights like this were opportunities I couldn't waste.
That's when I saw him.
Jordan Pierce stood by the windows, champagne flute dangling from long fingers, the city lights creating a halo around his tall frame. The movie producer commanded attention without trying; his custom suit fit his broad shoulders perfectly, and his hair was artfully tousled.
My mouth went dry. I'd seen him at events before, but never this close. Never close enough to notice how his eyes crinkled slightly at the corners when he smiled or how his presence seemed to magnetize the very air.
He turned, and for a heart-stopping moment, our eyes locked. His gaze traveled down my body, slow and deliberate, before returning to my face. The corner of his mouth lifted in the barest hint of a smile.
Heat bloomed between my thighs, instant and shocking. My nipples hardened against the silk of my dress, and I found myself unable to look away. Something primal passed between us, a silent acknowledgment of mutual desire that left me breathless.
I forced myself to break eye contact, disturbed by my body's visceral reaction. I had a boyfriend hosting this very party, yet here I was, practically wet from a look from Jordan Pierce.
My phone buzzed with a text. Nathan: "Study. Now."
I slipped away from the crowd, making my way down the hallway to Nathan's private study. I knocked twice before entering.
Nathan stood by his desk, bow tie undone, hair slightly mussed. His eyes darkened when he saw me.
"You look fucking incredible," he growled, crossing the room in three strides. "Every man out there wants you."
His mouth crashed down on mine, hungry and possessive. I melted into him, eager to erase the lingering heat from Jordan's gaze.
"Including you?" I teased when we came up for air.
"Especially me." His hands gripped my ass, pulling me against the hard ridge in his pants. "I've been watching you all night, wanting to bend you over and fuck your pussy."
His words sent a fresh wave of arousal through me. I reached between us, palming his cock through his slacks.
"What's stopping you?" I challenged.
Nathan spun me around, pushing me face-first against the bookshelf. Books tumbled to the floor as his hands hiked up my dress, exposing my ass and the thin lace thong that barely covered my pussy.
"Fuck, Sophia," he hissed, fingers sliding between my legs. "You're soaking wet."
"All for you," I lied, pushing back against his hand.
He spanked my ass hard, making me gasp. "Such a naughty girl, walking around my party with this wet pussy." Another slap landed, harder this time. "Were you thinking about getting fucked while talking to my investors?"
"Maybe," I moaned as his fingers pushed my thong aside, teasing my entrance.
"On your knees," he commanded.
I dropped down, turning to face him as he unbuckled his belt. His cock sprang free, thick and hard, the tip already glistening with pre-cum.
"Open that pretty mouth."
I obeyed, letting him guide himself between my lips. He groaned as I took him deep, my tongue swirling around his shaft.
"That's it, baby. Take this cock. Show me how much you want it."
I hollowed my cheeks, sucking hard while my hand worked what wouldn't fit in my mouth. His hips jerked forward, pushing deeper until I felt him hit the back of my throat.
"Fuck, your mouth feels amazing," he panted, watching his cock disappear between my lips. "But I need this pussy."
He pulled me up roughly, spinning me around and bending me over his desk. Papers scattered as he positioned me, spreading my legs wide with his knee.
"Look at this perfect pussy," he growled, sliding two fingers inside me. "So tight and wet for me."
I whimpered as he found my clit, circling it with his thumb while his fingers pumped in and out. Just as I was getting close, he withdrew, leaving me empty and aching.
"Please," I begged, pushing my ass back toward him.
He teased my entrance with the head of his cock.
"Please fuck me, Nathan. I need your cock inside me."
He slammed into me with one brutal thrust, burying himself to the hilt. I cried out, clutching the edge of the desk as he set a punishing rhythm.
"This is what you wanted, isn't it?" He punctuated each word with a thrust. "To be fucked like the dirty little girl you are."
"Yes!" I gasped as he hit that perfect spot deep inside me. "Harder!"
His hand came down on my ass again, the sting only heightening my pleasure. "You like that? You like being spanked while I fuck this tight pussy?"
"God, yes!" My voice was barely recognizable, high, and desperate.
He reached around, fingers finding my clit. "Come on my cock, Sophia. Let me feel that pussy squeeze me."
The dual stimulation pushed me over the edge. My orgasm crashed through me, my inner walls clamping down on him as waves of pleasure radiated outward. I bit my lip to stifle my screams, aware of the party just beyond the door.
Nathan's rhythm faltered, his thrusts becoming erratic. "Fuck, I'm gonna come," he groaned, pulling out and spinning me around.
I dropped to my knees just in time for him to erupt, hot spurts of cum landing on my breasts and neck. He stroked himself through his release, eyes locked on the sight of his cum marking my skin.
"Jesus Christ," he panted, leaning against the desk. "That was..."
"Intense," I finished for him, using tissues from his desk to clean myself up.
Nathan pulled me to my feet, kissing me deeply. "Sorry, I couldn't wait until after the party."
"I'm not complaining." I straightened my dress, checking for any obvious signs of our encounter.
"Stay after everyone leaves," he said, tucking himself back into his pants. "We'll pick up where we left off."
I raised an eyebrow. "You think you'll be ready for round two?"
"Baby, that was just the appetizer." He smacked my ass playfully. "I haven't even started the main course."
I laughed, feeling the familiar warmth of satisfaction mixed with anticipation. "In that case, I'll definitely stay."
We slipped back into the party separately. I headed straight for the bathroom to fix my makeup and hair, erasing the evidence of our tryst.
I slipped back into the party, my heart still racing from Nathan's touch.
I grabbed a fresh glass from a passing server and took a slow sip, scanning the crowd. That's when I saw him again.
Jordan Pierce stood by the windows, one hand in his pocket, the other holding a champagne flute. The city lights behind him outlined his tall frame, making him look like the star of his own movie. Which, given his career, wasn't far off.
He caught me staring and raised his glass slightly. My nipples tightened instantly against my dress. What the fuck was happening to me? I'd seen Jordan at events before, but tonight, something electric crackled between us.
I forced myself to look away, only to freeze at what I saw next.
Nathan, my boyfriend who'd just bent me over his desk minutes ago, had his hand placed low on some woman's back. As I watched, his fingers slid down to cup her ass, giving it a squeeze as he whispered something in her ear that made her giggle.

I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis
Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now—billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn’t mind. I’d crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one?
Wrong.
One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That’s when it hit me—he didn’t love me. He didn’t even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn’t even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup.
So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster—my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise.
Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol.
Enter him.
Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I’d met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes.
It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised.
But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life.
And, as it turned out, the best decision I’d ever made.
Because my one-night stand isn’t just some random guy. He’s richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with.
And now, he’s not letting me go.
