I cupped her face, planting a soft kiss on her beautiful lips. "Don't ever run from me, baby," I said softly, letting my thumb trace her jaw. "I love the chase." Her jaw tightened, her hands coming up to try and move mine. "Stop calling me baby, Ezra," she snapped, eyes flashing. I couldn't help but grin, dropping my voice to something low and dark. "Ohhh, now my baby has a problem with me calling her baby?" She shot me a glare, but I just tucked her hair behind her ear, pressing another kiss to her lips-gentler this time, lingering. "You don't get to tell me what to call you, baby." I leaned in closer, brushing my nose against hers. "You're whatever the fuck I call you."

Ghost, Shadow, and Blade-each one darker than the last. I didn't ask for their obsession. I didn't invite their attention. But the moment I disobeyed Rule #1, I became theirs. Now I live by their rules. Every glance. Every breath. Every touch. And if I break just one... There will be consequences.

Watched the way her mouth parted with a gasp, the way her eyes fluttered shut and her hips arched back toward him on instinct-offering herself, caught in her own reflection.

Heaven Carter is 23, brilliant, beautiful, and bred for business. As the only heir to Carter Global Enterprises, she's next in line to take the CEO seat-but there's a catch. Her father's terms? She has to get married first. Not just to anyone, but to Dominic "Dom" Grey-a 32-year-old Black mogul with a reputation soaked in secrets and power. Dom isn't just her father's closest ally-he's a king in his own right, ruling over a shadow empire that operates behind the scenes of luxury and crime. Cold, calculated, and always in control, he agrees to the arrangement to protect Carter's legacy-and because he owes her father a favor. But Heaven? She's not some pawn in a game of kings. She's fire with a voice, ambition in heels, and a temper Dom wasn't ready for. What starts as a paper marriage for power quickly turns into a war of wills. Dom wants obedience. Heaven wants freedom. But neither of them expected the sparks. And in a world where loyalty is deadly and love is a liability, they'll either rise together, or destroy each other.

She crosses paths with a man whose charm feels effortless and whose presence feels safe... until the shadows around him start to move. She falls for him quick unaware that he's carrying a life she's never seen - a life stitched together with danger, loyalty, and secrets heavy enough to break anyone who gets too close. As their worlds intertwine, the truth begins to surface in pieces, forcing her to question everything she thought she knew about love, trust, and herself. Their connection is real, undeniable even, but the double life he lives threatens to pull them under. In a story where loyalty twists, danger breathes, and love refuses to let go, one question lingers above all: Will the secrets he hides be the thing that destroys them... or the fire that binds them tighter than they ever imagined?

"D?" "Yes, baby." I lowered my gaze to the floor. "I... I'm turned on. I... I don't know if I'll be able to sleep like this." He hummed softly. "What would you want me to do?" I stared at him. I didn't know what to say. He took a step forward. "Amoya, tell me what you want." I gulped. He gripped my chin, forcing my eyes to his. He brushed his lips against mine, teasing me. "Umm, I-I," the words got stuck in my throat. He titled my head, and placed his lips to my ear. "Do you want me to make you come?" My movements stilled. Between my legs clenched. My mouth opened, but no words came out. He smirked, slow and deliberate. "I'll take that as a yes." ______________________________________ He was dangerous. Too dangerous for a girl like me. I grew up sheltered, protected by rules and curfews, watched by strict and dangerous parents who believed love was a distraction, boys were trouble and power and control was everything. And then he came - dark, sharp, and everything I was warned to stay away from. One look from him and every rule I'd ever known began to blur. Every warning turned to a whisper I no longer cared to hear. Because I'd already fallen for him. This man - in a cruel twist of fate - was my father's rival. And he was forbidden.
