"K-Kane!" she gasped, her hands instinctively landing on his shoulders.
He smirked. "What?"
Her cheeks were flushed, her breathing uneven. "Stop that."
His hands slid over her waist, securing her in place. "Why?"
She swallowed hard, eyes darting away. "You're making my heart beat too fast."
Kane took her small hand and placed it against his chest. His heart was pounding just as violently as hers.
"Like mine?" he asked, voice lower, more intense.
By day, Kane is a tech billionaire, dominating boardrooms with his sharp mind and icy demeanor. By night, he's a ruthless underground boxer, unleashing his demons with every brutal punch. No one gets close-until Mona.
She's small, shy, and too damn sweet for his world. With fiery red hair and innocent green eyes, she's the only softness he's ever known. But behind her hesitant smiles lies a dark past, one that haunts her in nightmares she refuses to talk about.
When a storm forces her to stay the night, lines blur. One kiss turns into obsession. One secret could destroy them both.
Can Kane protect her from the past she won't reveal-or will his own darkness consume them first?

"You think I haven't noticed you before?" He asks, out of the blue, turning his head as he watches my facial expressions with amusement, leaning back into his chair, unbothered. I stare at him, trying to cover the shock displayed on my face, but he still caught my reaction, smirking. How could he have noticed me before? Does that mean he... knows? "When?" I ask, my voice trembling under his sharp gaze. "The first day of year 10. You had your hair out, with a cute little headband on. You also wore a pink hoodie with that short ass white skirt."
