Beneath Her Heels

Ophne Ashford was the kind of woman people whispered about long after she'd left the room.
A haunting, breathtaking figure carved from ice and sin - maliciously beautiful, impossibly elegant, and dangerous in a way that made even powerful men straighten their spines and lower their voices. She ruled her empire with a silk-gloved fist CEO of a luxury tech company and a stare sharp enough to peel a man open without ever touching him.
Control wasn't something she practiced; it was something she exhaled.

No one disobeyed her.
No one challenged her.
No one intrigued her.

Until him.

Miles Atreus didn't know he was walking into the jaws of a wolf when he sat in the front row of the university lecture hall for an event as her being invited to give a speech .
Twenty-one, charming, a little too reckless for his own good - he had that boyish arrogance that made girls laugh and professors sigh.

But beneath the confidence, beneath the jokes, beneath the sweetness...

...was a submissive streak so deep it trembled quietly inside him, untouched and unnoticed - even by himself.

Until Ophne's eyes found him.

In that single, devastating moment, he felt the air leave his lungs.
Her gaze pinned him like a hand around his throat - firm, elegant, inescapable.
Heat coiled low in his stomach, unfamiliar and overwhelming.

And Ophne?

She saw everything.

The brat.
The softness.
The defiance begging to be punished.
The loyalty waiting to be claimed.

Her lips curled in the faintest smile, dark and knowing.

"I've found my good boy."

He didn't hear the words.
But he felt them.

And from that moment, Miles Atreus world didn't belong to him anymore.
It belonged to her.
