Lost in Lust ✔️
"With the hand that was around her waist, I pulled her towards me and put the other hand around her neck. I kissed her passionately, as if my life depended on it. At first she was stiff and surprised but after I bit her lip, she let me in. She ran her fingers trough my hair and we fought for dominance, juicy and vigorously exploring each other. We parted with heavy sighs and I leaned my forehead against hers. With our eyes closed and our lips silent, we talked about everything that kiss meant to us. She stroked my cheek and her angelic touch made light shine through my cracks. I took her hand and we plunged into the night blue.

The copyright manager, a driven professional with a knack for closing impossible deals, was dispatched by the company to negotiate the purchase of rights with a notoriously difficult author-a figure whose reputation for being unyielding was as legendary as his talent. During a tense late-night meeting, the manager discovered that the author's drink had been tampered with, laced with something sinister. Torn between standing by to watch the scandal unfold and protecting the company's potential star signee, the manager chose the latter. But what he hadn't anticipated was the personal cost of that decision-a price paid with his own boundaries. "Offering you nine percent?" the manager proposed, voice steady despite the stakes. "Out of the question. I'm not selling," came the author's cool, unyielding reply. "Eleven, then?" The manager's tone was firm, leaving no room for debate. "That's the absolute limit." The words hung in the air, but beneath the table, a subtle touch shattered the professional facade on the manager's face, an unspoken intimacy sparking in the charged silence. "That's the limit?" the author countered, a sly smile playing across his handsome features, framed by the glint of gold-rimmed glasses. "That's not what you said last night."

While notorious for never sleeping with the same person twice, one incredible night with sexy mafia boss Renato "Ren" Merlo makes him reconsider this policy.
