The Icy CEO Heard My Filthy Thoughts, And Hired Me on the Spot
Transcript
00:00:00I'm a starving succubus who survives on men's desire, but I just woke up in modern New York,
00:00:05where everyone acts like wanting someone is a crime. I got fired and nearly arrested just
00:00:10for touching a co-worker's abs. Desperate for energy, I hide myself in the most boring black
00:00:15suit I can find and interview to become the personal assistant to Ethan Frost, New York's
00:00:20coldest, most untouchable billionaire suit. The moment I see him, every filthy instinct wakes up.
00:00:26I want to ruin him with my mouth from those cold lips down his chest until I'm wrapped around his
00:00:30thick throbbing cock, sucking him dry and breaking his perfect control. Suddenly, Ethan snaps his pen
00:00:36clean in half. He stares at me jaw-tight voice rough. You're hired. He can hear every filthy thought in
00:00:43my head. I'm Jade Summers. One second I was the most seductive succubus in the abyss, drunk on desire
00:00:49and raw sexual energy. The next I blinked and found myself dumped on a crowded street in New York City.
00:00:55This place is insane. The whole city reeks of lust, yet everyone struts around acting like
00:01:00they're above it, preaching self-control, purity and proper behavior. A few days ago I was so starved
00:01:06I could barely hold my human shape. All I did was run my hand over my co-worker's abs to
00:01:11steal a
00:01:11little energy, and I got dragged into HR, publicly fired for sexual harassment, and almost arrested.
00:01:18No legal identity here means I starve. End of story. So I squeezed myself into the most buttoned-up
00:01:24black blazer I could find, every button fastened tight to my throat, and walked into Frost Capital,
00:01:29one of Manhattan's most cutthroat firms, for a personal secretary interview. The man interviewing
00:01:35me was the one who runs everything. Ethan Frost. Everyone called him untouchable. Cold privileged,
00:01:41disciplined to the bone. A man so controlled that women could throw themselves at him all night and
00:01:46he would not even blink. But the moment I stepped into his office, a thick wave of pure, scorching masculine
00:01:53energy slammed into me. My succubus instincts went feral. Oh my god. Look at those broad shoulders,
00:01:59that tight waist, those powerful thighs. Those dress pants are stretched so obscenely I can see
00:02:06the outline of every inch. I bet he's thick, heavy, and perfect. I wonder how long this tightly wound
00:02:13ice prince can keep his control before he snaps. I want to shove him back onto that desk, tear that
00:02:19expensive suit off him and ride him raw until he's shaking and begging. I was deep in that filthy
00:02:25fantasy when a loud snap cracked through the room. Ethan's luxury pen broke in half, black ink spilling
00:02:31over his fingers. He slowly lifted his gaze. It was cold, dark eyes pinned me like a predator. His voice
00:02:38came out low, rough, and dangerously controlled. He paused, jaw-tight, eyes burning with something dark
00:02:44and volatile. Jade Summers. You're hired. I stood there completely stunned. You really just hired me?
00:02:52After I had mentally stripped him naked and imagined riding him senseless? Not that I was complaining.
00:02:58This job gave me legitimate, daily access to the most powerful source of energy I had ever felt.
00:03:04I had barely stepped out of his office when Victoria, the senior director, cornered me in the hallway.
00:03:10She looked at me like I was something filthy that had just crawled in off the street.
00:03:14She marched up in her sharp heels and shoved my shoulder hard. Button that collar all the way up.
00:03:19If I ever see you throwing yourself at Mr. Frost, you won't even make it through tomorrow.
00:03:24Do you understand me? I let myself stumble back and quickly put on my most innocent,
00:03:29obedient face. Of course, director. I'll be completely professional. But inside,
00:03:35my succubus side was burning with contempt. Throwing myself at him? Please. You look at him like you own him.
00:03:40You have no idea how good it feels to be flooded with that kind of raw, masculine energy. It would
00:03:45probably kill you. A body like his deserves to be claimed every single day. I want to wrap myself
00:03:50around him. Drain him with my mouth and hands until he has nothing left to give. A heavy footstep
00:03:54sounded behind me. Ethan stood just a few feet away in his perfectly tailored black suit,
00:03:59his presence filling the hallway. His dark, intense eyes were locked directly on my face.
00:04:04Victoria spun around instantly, flashing a sweet, adoring smile. Mr. Frost! I was just giving the
00:04:11new assistant some orientation on proper office standards, making sure the wrong kind of woman
00:04:16doesn't cause you any problems. Ethan ignored her completely. His gaze never left me. I watched his
00:04:22throat tighten as he swallowed slowly, something dark and heated flashing in his eyes. His voice came
00:04:28out low and commanding. Coffee. Now. Five minutes later, I walked into the CEO's office with a cup of
00:04:37black coffee. The second I stepped through the door, that devastating masculine energy wrapped around me
00:04:43again. Hot and clean and way too close. It clung to my skin like a second layer. Ethan was leaning
00:04:48back
00:04:49in his chair, reviewing documents like nothing in the world could shake him. Shirt buttoned. Tie straight.
00:04:55Face cold enough to freeze over hell. But my eyes had no loyalty to my brain. They kept drifting lower
00:05:01straight to the tight stretch of his dress pants. That energy is so thick and pure it's making me
00:05:07dizzy. The way those pants hug him should be illegal. If he ever let loose on me, he would completely
00:05:12wreck
00:05:13me. God, I wanna- I was so busy staring that I completely missed the face beside me. My heel
00:05:18caught
00:05:18the edge of it and rolled. Ah! I lost my balance and pitched forward straight into him. The entire cup
00:05:24of
00:05:24scalding coffee splashed across his lap. Every single drop. A low, ragged groan tore out of
00:05:30him. The documents in his hand scattered all over the floor. My soul nearly left my body. I scrambled
00:05:37up, grabbed the tissue box off his desk and started frantically dabbing at his thighs. Mr. Frost, I'm so
00:05:43sorry. Please don't move. I'll clean it up. The second my fingers pressed against the soaked fabric,
00:05:48I froze. Even through the thin material, the heat under my hand was overwhelming. Hard, tense,
00:05:55very, very alive. My fingers started to shake. Wait. Is he getting hard? God, he's huge. Ugh. I just
00:06:02wanna rip these pants open and put my mouth onto his monstrous cock. Ethan's hand, which had been
00:06:07reaching for the tissues, stopped dead in midair. For one terrifying second, the whole office went silent.
00:06:13Then his large, burning hand came down on my lower back. He seized me and pulled me hard against his
00:06:19chest. My breath caught. His body was solid against mine, his breath hot and uneven on my face.
00:06:25That perfect frozen composure finally cracked, and what leaked through was dark, hungry, and dangerous.
00:06:31His voice dropped low. You really can't stop looking there, can you?
00:06:37His voice was low against my ear, and that thick, impossible bulge pressing against me was
00:06:42impossible to ignore. My succubus control was hanging by a thread. This man was plain dirty.
00:06:48And the worst part was, I was almost sure he knew it. I swallowed hard my whole body going soft
00:06:53against
00:06:54him. My arms slid around his neck before my brain could stop them. I leaned in, lips parting,
00:06:59the tip of my tongue just barely brushing out. One more inch. Just one. Then the memory hit me like
00:07:05a
00:07:05fire alarm. HR dragging me out of my last job in front of everyone. Security watching me like I was
00:07:11dangerous. The threat of handcuffs, police, and a permanent record, all because I touched a
00:07:15co-worker's abs when I was starving. My blood went cold. This was not some random office. This was the
00:07:22CEO's office in New York. And this was Ethan Frost, one of the most powerful men in the country.
00:07:27Throwing myself at him was not a cute little workplace mistake. This could destroy my life.
00:07:32All my succubus confidence disappeared in an instant.
00:07:36Oh. I came here to survive, not to end up in prison. I shoved him back with a sudden burst
00:07:41of strength, slipped out of his arms, and dropped hard onto the floor.
00:07:45Mr. Frost, I'm so sorry. I swear I'm a respectable woman. I just slipped. That's all. I wasn't trying
00:07:52anything. Please don't call the police. I'm not some kind of predator. I fumbled with the door,
00:07:57yanked it open, and ran. But as the door swung shut behind me, I caught one last glimpse through the
00:08:03narrow crack. Then, the famously celibate, untouchable ice prince, was still standing
00:08:08exactly where I had left him. His shirt was wrinkled. His breathing was rough. His hands were
00:08:14empty, like he had not expected me to escape. And the look in his eyes was not anger. It was
00:08:20hunger.
00:08:20The kind that made my knees weak even from the other side of the door.
00:08:25That afternoon, I went to the break room to get some water and calm myself down.
00:08:29The coffee disaster was still replaying in my head, along with Ethan's hand on my waist,
00:08:34his rough breathing, and the way he had looked at me before I ran. I needed water. Possibly an exorcism.
00:08:41The second I turned around, Victoria was walking straight toward me with a full basin of ice water
00:08:46in her hands. She stopped right in front of me, a small, vicious smile tugging at her lips. Then she
00:08:52let her foot slip on purpose. The entire basin came crashing down over me. Ice water soaked through my
00:08:58thin white blouse in seconds. The fabric turned almost transparent, clinging to every curve and
00:09:03leaving far too much on display. Co-workers rushed over from every direction. Seriously? She wore that
00:09:10under a white blower? That is not exactly office appropriate. I'm not surprised, she walked into
00:09:14Mr. Frost's office for her interview and came out hired, connect the dots. And now she's acting shop,
00:09:19people are staring? Please, you don't dress like that by accident. Victoria stood at the front of the
00:09:24crowd, savoring every second of my humiliation. Her voice was sweet, but every word was meant to cut.
00:09:30Everyone seeing this? Our new secretary shows up on day one with lingerie under a white plouse and
00:09:35expects us to believe she is here for spreadsheets? I hugged my soaked blouse to my chest, shivering.
00:09:41This is is Frost Capital, not some club bathroom. I'm reporting you to HR myself. Enjoy your last day.
00:09:46I lowered my eyes, looking weak and humiliated. Inside I was burning.
00:09:50Get me fired? Go ahead and try. If Ethan sees me like this, he won't be able to look away
00:09:54for days.
00:09:55This body was made to drive a man like him wild. I could wrap myself around him and drain every
00:09:59last drop he has. You're nothing compared to that. Victoria took my silence for fear and reached for
00:10:04my wet collar. What, nothing to say now? You were so good at playing innocent earlier. Come on,
00:10:10let everyone see what kind of professional you really are. The crowd suddenly went silent.
00:10:14What is going on here? One low, cutting voice was enough to freeze the entire break room.
00:10:21Everyone fell silent and stepped aside at once. Ethan walked in. His gaze landed on my soaked,
00:10:27almost transparent blouse. For one long second, he said nothing. His jaw tightened and his throat moved
00:10:34once hard. Those eyes usually cold enough to keep the whole office at a distance, darken the moment they
00:10:40saw me. Mr. Frost, look at her. I don't know what kind of stunt she pulled to end up like
00:10:46this,
00:10:46but she's been standing here, putting herself on display and trying to make everyone uncomfortable.
00:10:51Ethan did not even look at her. He shrugged off his jacket, still warm and carrying that clean cedar
00:10:57scent, then stepped in front of me and wrapped it around my shoulders. The jacket swallowed me almost
00:11:02completely, cutting off every stare in the room. The second his warmth touched my skin, that rich,
00:11:08dangerous energy of his rolled over me. My knees nearly gave out right there. Without a word he
00:11:13took my wrist and led me out of the break room. No one dared to stop him. The moment we
00:11:18reached his
00:11:19office, he pushed the door open with one hard motion and pulled me inside. Then he locked it.
00:11:24The click of the lock went straight through me. Every bit of suppressed succubus instinct I had been
00:11:29trying to bury came roaring back to life. A locked door. Just the two of us. Oh, I know exactly
00:11:34where this is
00:11:35going. He is going to push me against that floor to clearing window, tear off this ruined blouse,
00:11:40use that tie to trap my wrists, and punish me until I forget how to stand. Yes, daddy.
00:11:44Punish me like I'm a bad girl. Ethan stopped. His back went rigid. For a moment, the office was so
00:11:51quiet I could hear my own heartbeat. Then a vein jumped at his temple and he took one slow breath
00:11:56like he was trying very hard not to lose control. When he turned around, his expression had gone
00:12:01dangerously still. The next second he crossed the room, caught me by the waist, and backed me against
00:12:06the window. His hands landed on either side of my head, caging me in completely. The glass was cold
00:12:12against my back. He was burning hot in front of me. His voice came out low, restrained, and rough
00:12:18around the edges. What exactly goes on in that little head of yours all day, Jade? Pinned against the window
00:12:25by a
00:12:26man that tall, that close, and that intense. I pulled my shoulders in and gave him my best helpless,
00:12:31wide-eyed look. Mr. Frost, I wasn't thinking anything. I was just scared after getting soaked
00:12:37like that. Ethan let out a low, cold laugh. His fingers closed around my jaw and tilted my face up.
00:12:43His breath brushed over my lips, warm and dangerously uneven. He did not answer me. Instead his other hand
00:12:50went to his tie. He pulled it loose in one slow, deliberate motion like he had all the time in
00:12:55the
00:12:55world. Then he dropped it onto the desk. My pulse jumped. Then he undid the top two buttons of his
00:13:01shirt. That collarbone. That shadow beneath the open fabric. That hard, controlled body he kept locked
00:13:08away under expensive suits every single day. He stepped right into my line of sight and stayed there.
00:13:13This man was baiting me on purpose. I stared at his open collar and swallowed hard. My traitorous
00:13:19hand started rising on its own, reaching for that warm, firm chest like I had no survival instincts
00:13:24at all. Screw it. He started this. Just touching him would be worth it.
00:13:35My fingertips were one breath away from touching him. Then the alarm in my head screamed. Flashing
00:13:41lights. Cold handcuffs. Iron bars. A full criminal case with my name on it. Getting fired for touching a
00:13:48co-worker's ass was bad enough. Putting my hands on the CEO of Frost Capital, there was a life
00:13:53sentence in heels. Self-preservation kicked in. I snatched my hand back, ducked under his arm,
00:13:59and slipped away. Mr. Frost, my eyes are closed. I didn't see anything. Please keep your shirt on.
00:14:06I have absolutely zero inappropriate thoughts about you. I spun toward the door and got my hand on the
00:14:11lock. But before I could turn it, a rush of cedar and heat swept over me from behind. Ethan was
00:14:17suddenly
00:14:17there, his shirt still undone, one hand braced against the door, trapping me in place. His chest
00:14:23pressed close against my back, and his breath brushed over my ear. Zero inappropriate thoughts.
00:14:29His voice was low and rough, with an edge that left no room to hide. His fingers found my jaw
00:14:35from
00:14:35behind and turned my head, forcing my gaze back to the open stretch of his shirt and everything it
00:14:40revealed. How disappointing. I have plenty of dirty thoughts about you, Jade Summers.
00:14:48That line, spoken from that close, nearly made my succubus tail come out. I stood trapped between
00:14:54the door and his heat, completely unable to move. Just when I thought he was about to forget every
00:14:59last bit of restraint and do something about it right there in his office, the pressure suddenly
00:15:03lifted. He reached into the pocket of the jacket wrapped around me and slipped in a black and gold
00:15:08invitation card, along with a handwritten note. Tomorrow night's finance charity gala. You're
00:15:13attending as my executive advisor. Go to this address today and get a gown. By the time I made
00:15:18it back to my desk, the note was still warm in my palm. The next evening, a black Maybach pulled
00:15:24up
00:15:24smoothly in front of an elite boutique on 5th Avenue. The store manager had clearly been briefed in advance
00:15:29and met us at the door with a polished, professional smile. Ms. Summers, right this way, to the fitting
00:15:35area. She looped the tape around my chest, then drew it in at my waist. A second later, she gasped.
00:15:41Good lord, Ms. Summers. These measurements are unreal. This kind of figure comes along once in a lifetime.
00:15:48She immediately pulled out a red gown. Deep V neckline. Opened back. A slit that started high on the thigh.
00:15:55I recommend this one. Wear this tonight. And you'll be the best thing that ever happened. To Frost Capital's
00:16:02public image. I stared at that gorgeous barely there piece of fabric and my succubus instinct sat straight up.
00:16:08With this body in that dress? Absolutely lethal. So that is why he kept looking at me like that yesterday.
00:16:16He has been wanting to see me in this all along. Fine. I'll wear it to the gala and watch
00:16:22his eyes drop
00:16:23straight to my neckline. That will be entirely his fault. Then the memory of being trapped against
00:16:29the door last night came back in full detail, and my survival instinct seized the wheel.
00:16:34Low profile. Boring. See? If he lost control in front of everyone at the gala, I would lose the job
00:16:40and
00:16:40then I would starve. I backed away from the dress like it had personally threatened me, both hands
00:16:45clamped to my collar. No. Absolutely not. High neck, long sleeves, ankle length if possible.
00:16:52I am a professional. The words had barely left my mouth when a quiet, unmistakably amused laugh came
00:16:57from just outside the heavy fitting room curtain. Ethan had appeared on the other side, perfectly dressed,
00:17:03perfectly composed and somehow right there. He glanced at the manager, his expression unreadable.
00:17:08Give us a moment.
00:17:11The manager blinked, bowed and quickly slipped out. Ethan walked into the fitting area and picked up
00:17:16the red gown. The heavy curtain swept shut behind him. Now it was just the two of us in a
00:17:22very small
00:17:22space. The air seemed to thicken. He moved toward me one step at a time, his tall frame carrying the
00:17:28full
00:17:29weight of his presence, until my back pressed against the full-length mirror. Mr. Frost,
00:17:34what are you doing? I swallowed hard. My palms were damp. Ethan set the gown aside and picked up
00:17:40the measuring tape. Drop straight to your neckline? I leaned unsteadily against the mirror and stared at
00:17:46him. How was he hearing every single thought in real time, even the ones from yesterday? He did not
00:17:51give me a second to figure it out. He spread his arms with the tape between them and wrapped it
00:17:56around
00:17:56my waist, pulling me in from behind in a way that felt far too close to an embrace. His energy
00:18:01washed
00:18:02over me all at once and my legs nearly gave out. Help. He is so close. He is so warm.
00:18:09This is going to
00:18:10drown me. Those shoulders, that waist, right here, within reach. I want to push him back against this mirror,
00:18:20tear that suit off him and make him lose every bit of that perfect control. Ethan's breathing changed.
00:18:27He dipped his head, his lips only a breath from my ear, and his voice came out low enough to
00:18:32make my knees
00:18:32weaken. Jade, let me find out for myself exactly how extraordinary you are. His hand moved slowly up my
00:18:43back. The other cradled the back of my head. His face tilted closer and his lips were one second away
00:18:49from
00:18:49mine. One second before contact, the coward in me took over. I dropped, tried to slip under his arm
00:18:55and aimed for the narrow gap beside him. This time he did not let me get away. His arm caught
00:19:01my waist
00:19:01and pulled me back hard against him. For a second, my feet left the floor and my back hit the
00:19:06mirror
00:19:06with a low, solid sound. His chest was pressed against mine with no space between us at all. Those dark
00:19:12eyes were done pretending. Every bit of restraint he had been wearing like a second suit was gone.
00:19:17His voice came out rough and absolute. Stop thinking about ruining me and then running the
00:19:24second things get real. His grip tightened at my waist, firm enough to make it clear that this time
00:19:29he was not letting me slip away. Jade, you are wearing that red dress to the gala tonight. His eyes
00:19:37moved
00:19:37over my face, then lowered briefly to the gown beside us. Because right now I want to see you in
00:19:46it.
00:19:48I ran but it did not matter. That night at the charity gala, I was still wearing the red dress
00:19:54Ethan had personally approved. The venue was all crystal chandeliers, champagne towers, and people
00:19:59pretending they were not staring. We had barely made it through the entrance when Victoria appeared with
00:20:04a glass of wine and a sweet, innocent smile. Miss Summers, Mr. Frost left a backup document in the storage
00:20:11room at the end of the hall. Be useful and go get it. For him. I was lightheaded with hunger
00:20:18and too
00:20:18distracted to think clearly so I went. The moment I stepped through the old wooden door, the lock clicked
00:20:23shut from the outside. Heels clicked away into silence. Victoria. Obviously. The storage room had no
00:20:30windows and no ventilation. It was dark cramped and sweltering, like I had been sealed inside an oven.
00:20:36In that kind of heat with my body already starving, my succubus instincts kicked into full overdrive.
00:20:42The hunger rose from somewhere deep inside me burning through my veins, turning my legs weak. All I
00:20:48could think about was the fitting room. Ethan's arms around my waist. His breath at my ear. That clean,
00:20:54intoxicating energy pouring off him and sinking into my skin. I just need him to hold me right now.
00:21:00That's it. Just hold me. If he came through that door and completely took me over, I don't know how
00:21:07much longer I can hold back. The lock turned again. The dark silhouette slipped inside and shut the door
00:21:14behind him. Then he locked it again. My breath caught. How long are you going to keep driving me crazy
00:21:20like
00:21:20this, Jade? Mr. Frost? How did you get in here? I didn't do anything. I didn't even say anything.
00:21:25You didn't have to. Every single word. He moved closer. That overwhelming heat rolled over me, rich
00:21:31and controlled and dangerous. His hand pressed to the wall beside my head and he backed me into it with
00:21:37his body without ever fully touching where he should not. In the dark, he leaned down until his nose almost
00:21:43brushed
00:21:43mine. His voice was low, rough and far too steady. Then he repeated my own thoughts back to me,
00:21:49word for word, calm and merciless. I couldn't stop imagining Ethan's thick cock pushing against my
00:21:55pussy. Jade Summers, you've been undressing me in your head every day since the interview.
00:22:00Did you really think I couldn't hear you? From the moment you walked into my office on day one,
00:22:06day one, every single word. I heard all of it. His voice was low and steady in the dark,
00:22:13but it carried a weight that made my knees want to give out. I stood there completely still,
00:22:18my mind blank. Day one? That means every thought, every single insane thing I've been thinking about
00:22:25him? Every single one. He answered like he was reading from a file, his lips almost brushing my ear.
00:22:35Including, I want to tear him apart. My face burned with humiliation. I wanted the floor to
00:22:40open up and swallow me straight back to the abyss. A thousand years of dignity, gone. Destroyed in one
00:22:47storage. Heard that too. His breath scorched my skin as he pressed closer. Through the thin fabric of
00:22:53his dress pants, I could feel the unmistakable heat and hard shape of him pushing firmly against me.
00:22:58I tried to back away on instinct, but there was nowhere to go. The wall was already pressed against
00:23:04my spine. Still trying to run from me? There was something dangerous in his voice now. Not anger
00:23:10exactly. Something darker. Something tightly leashed. I wasn't running. I just, I mean… I could not form a
00:23:18proper sentence. My mouth was denying everything while my thoughts were already betraying me. I don't want to
00:23:24run. I'm just scared. Scared of jail. Scared of losing this job. Scared I'll actually let him do
00:23:32whatever he wants. Ethan let out one quiet laugh. Jail? That is what you're scared of? His fingers
00:23:39caught my jaw and tipped my chin up. Those eyes were always so cold. Not now. Now they looked like
00:23:45they
00:23:45could burn me alive. You weren't scared when you were imagining my pants on the floor and taking everything I
00:23:52have. My breath caught. That was private. Not to me. His thumb brushed along my jaw, slow enough to make
00:24:00my entire body tighten. Jade, listen to me. His voice dropped lower. I'm not calling the police. I swallowed
00:24:08hard. I'm not firing you. He leaned closer, every word deliberate. I'm done holding back. I'm going to
00:24:17give you every filthy thing you've been begging for. My breathing fell apart completely. Every word
00:24:25out of his mouth landed like a hook, catching on every nerve in my body. Give me what I want.
00:24:30Healy
00:24:30just said that. Does he even understand what he's offering? I do. He dipped his head, the tip of his
00:24:36nose brushing mine, his voice rough and low. From the day you walked into my office, I knew exactly what
00:24:42was
00:24:42going through your head. I didn't send you away. I didn't let you go. I kept pulling you closer on
00:24:47purpose. His hand settled firmly on my waist, strong but not forcing. Like he was giving me one final
00:24:53chance to back out. Ask yourself why. I opened my mouth but no words came out. Why? Unless you actually
00:25:00want me just as badly? There it is. Then he pulled me in and kissed me hard. It was not
00:25:05tentative. It was not
00:25:07polite. It was not the careful controlled kiss of a man asking permission with every breath.
00:25:12It was hunger finally breaking through restraint. Weeks of cold composure cracked open all at once,
00:25:17and the man underneath was anything but calm. One hand held the back of my head keeping me from
00:25:22retreating. The other traced my waist, his touch leaving heat everywhere it landed. I could not
00:25:27breathe. My hands found his shoulders on their own. Fingers digging into the expensive fabric of his
00:25:33suit jacket. This man cannot be real. No one this controlled should kiss like this.
00:25:38Ethan pulled back half an inch, his mouth still brushing mine. Stay with me. Then he kissed me
00:25:43again. Deeper this time. Slower. More deliberate. Like he had decided I was done running, and he intended
00:25:50to make sure I remembered it. The storage room felt hotter by the second. His hand found the slit of
00:25:55my
00:25:55red dress and slipped beneath the fabric, his fingers grazing the inside of my thigh. The sound escaped
00:26:01before I could stop it. My whole body went soft against him. Ethan's breathing turned rougher.
00:26:07His hand moved higher, careful but devastating, stopping just short of the place that would
00:26:12have ruined every last bit of my self-control. Don't stop. Please don't stop now. His fingers
00:26:17tightened slightly against my thigh. I heard that. His hand was just about to move again when
00:26:22the storage room door exploded inward from a single kick. Victoria's voice rang down the entire corridor.
00:26:29Everyone, get over here. I found her. Frost Capital's new assistant is locked in a storage
00:26:34room during a company gala with some random man. Security, get them out here now. Victoria had brought
00:26:40security guards, senior executives, and half the gala with her. Her face was twisted with triumph,
00:26:46like she had been waiting all night to turn one private mistake into a public scandal. This is exactly
00:26:52what I warned you about. She is a liability. She disappears during work hours, drags some man into a
00:26:57restricted area and puts the entire company's reputation at risk. The flashlight swept wildly
00:27:02across the room. Then the beam landed on us. On Ethan. On me pressed against the wall in his arms.
00:27:09Victoria's scream died in her throat. Ethan's jacket came down over my shoulders, heavy with cedar and
00:27:15body heat, covering me completely. He pulled me back against his chest, shielding me from every stare in
00:27:21doorway. His shirt was rumpled. His collar hung open. His belt was half undone. And those eyes,
00:27:28usually distant and untouchable, were burning now with something dark enough to make every person at
00:27:33that door step back. He turned his head and swept the room with one look. Who the hell gave you
00:27:38permission to kick down my door? Mr. Mr. Frost. Her legs gave out. She dropped straight to the floor,
00:27:46her face white as paper. She had spent the whole night setting a trap for me. She had dragged half
00:27:51the company here to watch my downfall. But she never imagined the man she would catch with me
00:27:56would be Ethan Frost himself. I stayed tucked against Ethan's chest, feeling his heartbeat under
00:28:02my cheek. And for once I did not even try to hide my satisfaction. Well, surprise Victoria,
00:28:07you tried to ruin my night, and now he's about to ruin, ruin, your entire career. Honestly,
00:28:13I could not have planned it better myself. Ethan's arm tightened possessively around my waist.
00:28:18He looked down at the woman collapsed on the floor with total indifference,
00:28:22his voice cold and final. He looked toward Leo, who had just pushed through the crowd.
00:28:27Take her to accounting, have her office cleared before midnight,
00:28:31then make sure she never sets foot inside Frost Capital again.
00:28:35The corridor was so quiet you could hear champagne bubbles popping in the next room.
00:28:39Victoria was still screaming as security dragged her away.
00:28:44Mr. Frost! You can't fire me over this! That little slut sedust you! You're not thinking
00:28:51clearly because of her!
00:28:53Her voice faded toward the elevator bank, then disappeared. Ethan did not even look in her
00:28:58direction. He bent down, scooped me up over his shoulder like I weighed nothing and started walking.
00:29:03Mr. Frost! Put me down! I can walk! I hung upside down against his back,
00:29:09half-heartedly patting his shoulder blades. He didn't stop. He carried me straight through the
00:29:14executive corridor and up to the penthouse suite at the top of the building. The suite door flew
00:29:19open with one powerful kick. Then it slammed shut and locked. The world spun, and I landed on the
00:29:25enormous soft bed, somewhere between being thrown and placed. Before I could even sit up,
00:29:30Ethan came down over me all that intense, controlled power aimed straight at my body.
00:29:34His tie was already in his hand. He dropped it to the floor. Both palms pressed into the
00:29:39mattress on either side of my head, and those dark eyes had completely given up any pretense of being
00:29:44cold. We got interrupted earlier. His voice was rough and low, his breath hot against my face.
00:29:50We were way past pretending. He could hear every thought in my head. There was nothing left to hide.
00:29:56Something inside me finally broke. I reached up, grabbed his collar, and looked him straight in the
00:30:01eyes. We barely got started. You've been listening to every dirty thought. I've had this whole time,
00:30:09haven't you? I've been holding back for weeks. Tonight I'm done holding back! I let one finger trace
00:30:17slowly down the center of his chest. Something dark shifted in his eyes. The last bit of restraint in
00:30:24him snapped. He repeated my own thoughts back to me, his voice low and deliberate.
00:30:29That body looks incredible. I could ride him into the ground. Jade, if you say stop tonight,
00:30:37we're not stopping. He pulled me into a deep, demanding kiss. The man everyone knew as cold,
00:30:42composed, and completely uninterested in women turned out to be absolutely devastating the moment the door
00:30:48closed. That night, I learned exactly what happens when a man with that much self-control finally
00:30:54lets it snap. He was relentless. Thorough. Like a man who had spent years starving in the desert and
00:31:00had finally found the one thing he wanted. Once he had me he had no intention of letting go. He
00:31:05found
00:31:05every weak spot I had and used them against me again and again, until I was clinging to him and
00:31:10begging
00:31:10him to slow down. I'm a succubus. I don't beg. And yet here I was. By morning, pale light spilled
00:31:17through the floor-to-ceiling windows. I opened my eyes feeling like I had survived a wreck. Every part
00:31:23of me ached in ways that were far too specific to ignore. Cold, restrained, and completely uninterested
00:31:28in women? What? What a joke! I am a thousand-year-old suffogos who came to this world to feed
00:31:35on men,
00:31:36and last night I was the one who had to tap out. The humiliation is unreal. I had barely finished
00:31:42my
00:31:42internal rant when a strong, warm arm wrapped around me from behind and pulled me back against
00:31:47his solid chest. Complaining about me again? His voice was low, rough, and far too relaxed for a
00:31:52man who had ruined my dignity only a few hours ago. His lips brushed the back of my neck. Sounds
00:31:58like last
00:31:58night still wasn't enough. My whole body went tense. Ethan gave a quiet laugh and was already rolling me
00:32:04back toward him when every phone on the nightstand lit up at once. The mood snapped. In half a second,
00:32:11Ethan went from lazy and satisfied to ice cold. The temperature in the room seemed to drop 10 degrees.
00:32:16I leaned over to look. The financial gossip pages and social media had exploded. Frost Capital's new
00:32:22female assistant has a history of workplace sexual harassment. Woman accused of touching multiple male
00:32:28co-workers at previous firm, nearly arrested. The article included a clear surveillance photo.
00:32:34Me. My very first day in this world. Hand slipped inside a co-worker's shirt. Right below it was the
00:32:40official termination notice from my old job. The evidence looked damning. I went completely rigid.
00:32:46Victoria's final parting gift? She must have leaked it on her way out.
00:32:51Ethan stared at the screenshot. A vein throbbing in his temple. His grip on the phone so tight his
00:32:57knuckles turned white. He turned to me, his eyes burning with a mix of fury and something far more
00:33:02dangerous. You were terrified of the police. Scared I'd report you. That's because you actually
00:33:08almost got arrested. For this, isn't it? My stomach dropped. Mr. Frost, please hear me out.
00:33:16I had just arrived in this world. I was so starved I was about to lose my physical form.
00:33:20I only needed a little energy to survive, and that guy was barely worth anything. His energy was like
00:33:25a 3 out of 10. I barely touched his hand and HR was already dragging me out. He was a
00:33:30sad little
00:33:30street stack. You are a full 5-beg course meal. Why the hell would I even look at anyone else
00:33:36after
00:33:36tasting you? The murderous look on Ethan's face faltered for just a second. The jealousy in his eyes
00:33:41didn't fade. If anything, it burned even hotter. He let out a sharp, humorless laugh and moved toward
00:33:47me. So what you're saying is I'm not satisfying you enough, and you're already thinking about
00:33:51going somewhere else? How many men's abs have you touched exactly? Before I could figure out how to
00:33:55handle a jealous, possessive CO, his personal line rang. Leo's voice came through on speaker,
00:34:01tense and urgent. Mr. Frost, Victoria and her father, board director Warren, have taken over
00:34:09the top floor conference room with six other board members. They've seen the morning news.
00:34:16They're claiming you're protecting someone with a sexual harassment record, and it's destroying the
00:34:23firm's reputation. Warren is demanding you hand over operational control right now. They've also called
00:34:29the police. Officers are already waiting in the lobby. The jealousy in Ethan's eyes turned ice
00:34:36cold in an instant. He threw back the covers and stood up, grabbing a fresh white shirt from the
00:34:42wardrobe. He buttoned it with slow, precise movements, each one cold and calculated. His hands paused on his
00:34:48tie. He glanced over his shoulder at me, his voice sharp. Get dressed. Come deal with the mess you
00:34:55started. Anyone who thinks they can come after me is going to learn exactly what that cost them today.
00:35:0330 minutes later, the top floor conference room at Frost Capital. The moment we pushed open the doors,
00:35:08the entire room fell silent. Board members lined both sides of the long table, watching with barely
00:35:14hidden anticipation. Warren sat at the center, his pampered face arranged in smug confidence.
00:35:19Victoria was right beside her father. The second she saw me, she shot out of her chair. There she is.
00:35:25That shameless woman has the nerve to show her face here after everything she's done. She slammed a
00:35:30stack of surveillance screenshots onto the table. Look at these. Your precious new assistant is a predator.
00:35:36Because of her disgusting scandal, the company stock hit its lower limit this morning. Mr. Frost,
00:35:41if you don't hand her over to the police downstairs right now, you are just as guilty. The room buzzed
00:35:46with
00:35:46whispers. Every eye in the room turned on me like knives. Ethan sat at the head of the table,
00:35:52expression completely blank, fingers tapping slowly against the surface. The silence was
00:35:57suffocating. The board members took it as a sign that Ethan was about to fold and cut me loose.
00:36:03Victoria clearly read it the same way. She stormed around the table in her heels and came straight
00:36:07for me, arm already swinging. You worthless little tramp! Let me do this company a favor!
00:36:14A sharp crack echoed through the room, but I was the one still standing. While everyone watched in
00:36:20shock, I caught Victoria's wrist mid-swing with a grip like steel. A thousand years as a succubus
00:36:26meant my strength had nothing to do with how much energy I'd taken lately. He was no match for me.
00:36:31I twisted her wrist and shoved her away hard. She stumbled backward in her heels and crashed hard
00:36:36onto the conference room floor. You just attacked someone in front of the entire board?
00:36:41I brushed my hands off and looked down at Victoria with a slow, cold smile.
00:36:46You want to dig up the past? Fine. Let's dig deep. I walked to the table, picked up one of
00:36:52the
00:36:52surveillance photos, and held it up for everyone to see. Yes, that's me. I touched a co-worker.
00:36:59I got fired for it. We were both single and I accepted the consequences. Is that really worth
00:37:05calling the police? I dropped the photo directly onto Victoria's face. What's more interesting is you,
00:37:11Victoria? Last night, you paid a hacker to illegally break into my former employer's servers, stole
00:37:18that footage, and used company money to buy trending spots, and bought traffic. I pulled a black USB
00:37:25drive from my jacket and slammed it down in the middle of the table. Wire transfers, chat logs,
00:37:31a signed confession from the hacker. Everything. You want to talk about who deserves prison time?
00:37:39Start with yourself. Victoria's face went from gray to deathly white. She was shaking so hard she could
00:37:47barely stay upright. You're making all of this up! None of that is real! I kept my expression calm while
00:37:54internally I was counting down. Three, two, one. Babe, your turn. I just laid every card I have on the
00:38:01table. If you don't back me up right now, tonight I'm gonna find a delivery guy to feed on, and
00:38:06you can
00:38:06deal with the consequences. Though honestly, even when he's just sitting there looking serious, why
00:38:11does he have to be so damn attractive? I want to crawl into his lap and kiss him until he
00:38:16loses his
00:38:17voice. Ethan's fingers, which had been steadily tapping the table, suddenly stopped. A flash of
00:38:23something crossed his face. He shot me a quick look that clearly said, control those thoughts right
00:38:28now. His ear had gone noticeably red. He looked away, regained his composure, and gave Leo a small
00:38:34nod. Leo stepped forward and pressed a button. The large screen came alive, showing every transaction
00:38:40Victoria had made the night before, followed by a confession video Leo had clearly secured himself.
00:38:46The room erupted. Warren watched his daughter collapse and finally dropped his smug smile.
00:38:51But this was a man who had survived decades on Wall Street. He recovered quickly.
00:38:55Mr. Frost, impulsive decisions have consequences at your age. Victoria made a mistake and I'll handle
00:39:02her privately. But don't forget, that hundred billion cross-border acquisition, I brookered it.
00:39:06The other party trusts me and only me. He lifted his chin arrogantly. You move against us today,
00:39:11and that deal vanishes immediately. I leaned against the table and studied the old man's
00:39:17self-satisfied face. Something twisted in my stomach. I closed my eyes and fully opened the
00:39:23succubus ability I had been holding back all week. Great. Plus. Hidden secrets. They came to me like a
00:39:29clear scent. Within seconds, Warren's entire dirty hand was laid out in my mind like an open book.
00:39:35Hundred billion deal. Please. Sweetheart. This man has three mistresses, four offshore properties in the
00:39:43common islands in Kyprus, paid for with laundered money from this very deal. The shell companies are
00:39:49even named after his mistress's initials. He's actually that stupid. He moved 40 million into
00:39:56one of them just this month. At the head of the table, Ethan's fingers went completely still on the
00:40:02folder. He was receiving every shocking detail straight through my thoughts. He slowly raised his
00:40:07head. The way he looked at Warren now was pure predator. The look of someone who already knew every
00:40:12card on the table and found the whole game boring. The corner of his mouth curved slightly. The
00:40:17hundred billion acquisition, Warren? You really think I was only looking into your daughter last
00:40:21night? The confidence drained from Warren's face degree by degree. Mr. Frost? Ethan pressed the remote
00:40:27without another word. The screen switched to a full forensic audit report. The critical findings
00:40:32highlighted in stark red. Page after page of transactions, layered offshore shell company charts,
00:40:38every thread leading back to one name. Warren. Ethan rose slowly from his chair, then slammed a thick
00:40:45stack of documents onto the conference table. Papers flew everywhere. Five years. Four hundred million
00:40:52dollars. Every transaction, every count, every shell company named after your mistress, it's all right
00:40:57here, Warren. With this kind of evidence staring you in the face, you don't even get to beg for mercy.
00:41:02The senior directors who had been backing him went pale. One by one, they quietly scooted their chairs back,
00:41:07desperate to distance themselves from the father-daughter disaster. Warren's legs gave out. His face turned
00:41:14ash white as he collapsed back into his chair, lips trembling, unable to speak a single word. I leaned
00:41:20against the table and watched Ethan backlit, spine straight, completely dismantling the old fox without
00:41:26breaking a sweat. I couldn't help myself. God, he's unreal. My knees are gone. There it is. My
00:41:33succubia instincts are firing hard. I want to throw him down on this conference table right now and
00:41:39ride him until he can't think straight. Ethan's posture stiffened slightly. At an angle no one else
00:41:45could see, the tips of his ears turned a deep red. He swung his head around and shot me a
00:41:50sharp look that
00:41:50said, control yourself right now. I stuck my tongue out at him. Just then, the conference room doors
00:41:55burst open. Several officers from the financial crimes unit walked in, faces grim and determined.
00:42:01Warren, you're under arrest for embezzlement and large-scale money laundering. Come with us.
00:42:06The cold click of handcuffs snapped around Warren's wrists. Victoria went wild next, thrashing and
00:42:12screaming that I had done this to her. But two officers pinned her down and cuffed her anyway.
00:42:17The pair who had been untouchable minutes earlier were dragged out of the room like common criminals.
00:42:21Dead silence fell over the room. The remaining directors were sweating through their suits,
00:42:27barely daring to breathe. Ethan swept the room with a cold, measured stare.
00:42:31Does anyone here have a problem with Ms. Summers staying at this company?
00:42:35Every director shook their heads frantically. No problem. Absolutely none.
00:42:40We're done here.
00:42:41In under 10 seconds, every director bolted, clutching their files and nearly tripping over each other to
00:42:47get out. The moment the door clicked shut, Ethan grabbed the remote and locked the conference
00:42:51room doors. The floor-to-ceiling blinds descended slowly, cutting off every bit of the Manhattan
00:42:57skyline. The room went dark. I was reaching for my glass of water, still riding the adrenaline when
00:43:03Ethan crossed the room in long, powerful strides. His presence hit me before he even touched me,
00:43:09that rich cedar scent mixed with raw heat. He grabbed my wrist and pressed me hard against the edge of
00:43:14the
00:43:14conference table. Warren and Victoria's bill is paid. Now it's time to settle ours. He leaned down,
00:43:21eyes locking onto mine with intense focus. Answer me. How many guys' abs have you actually touched?
00:43:27That one with the energy score of three, was it really worth it? Worth it? Please. Nothing compares
00:43:33to that insane waste of his. He's in a completely different league and he knows it. That was all it
00:43:38took. Whatever control he had left snapped. He grabbed me by the waist, lifted me off the ground,
00:43:43and set me down in the middle of the paper-covered conference table.
00:43:47Cameras are off. Now I want you to show me every dirty thought that's been running through that head
00:43:53of yours. All of it. He pressed forward and kissed me hard. Several hours later, after we had thoroughly
00:43:59used every inch of that conference room, an anonymous investigative report landed at a media office
00:44:05somewhere in New York. The document was clear. Jade Summers. No social records, no enrollment history,
00:44:12no employment trail before five years ago. Appeared out of nowhere. Suspected false identity.
00:44:18Possible corporate infiltrator.
00:44:21The heat from the conference room had barely faded when the story exploded the next morning.
00:44:26A major feature titled Frost Capital's Executive Advisor. Who is she really?
00:44:30Tore through every financial outlet. The piece questioned my complete lack of digital footprint
00:44:36or work history before five years ago. I sat at my desk staring at the blazing red headline,
00:44:41palms sweating. This was bad. My five years ago, belonged to someone else's body in another life.
00:44:48There was no paper trail because there couldn't be one. Around me, the interns and junior analysts had
00:44:53dropped all deference. I was nervously tugging at the hem of my blazer when the executive suite door
00:44:58opened. Ethan walked out holding a printed copy of the report, his expression ice cold.
00:45:04He didn't look at anyone else. He caught my wrist and pulled me straight into his private lounge.
00:45:09The door shut. He pressed me down onto the sofa, sat across from me and stared at the report in
00:45:14silence
00:45:14for a long moment. Here it comes. He's going to ask who I really am and how I appeared out
00:45:20of thin air.
00:45:21What do I even say? That I'm a suck-a-bore who needs men's intimate energy to survive?
00:45:26Is he going to think I'm a monster and try to lock me away?
00:45:29My mind was spiraling into disaster scenarios. Across from me, a vein ticked in Ethan's temple.
00:45:35He finally took a slow breath and set the report down.
00:45:38What do you want for dinner tonight?
00:45:40I froze completely.
00:45:43Every lie I had prepared got stuck in my throat. I just stared at him.
00:45:47You're not going to ask? The whole internet is calling me a spy or a sleeper agent?
00:45:52At the moment, Ethan stood and straightened his cuffs with that same calm composure.
00:45:56I'm curious.
00:45:57Then why aren't you-
00:45:58Because I've already heard every single thought.
00:46:01He met my eyes, patient and certain.
00:46:03The ones when you can't sleep. The ones when you're panicking about prison.
00:46:07The ones where you imagine me locking you up. I heard all of it.
00:46:10He stepped closer and caged me against the sofa with his body.
00:46:13I know what you are. A creature who survives on men's energy. That's it.
00:46:18What else do you want me to ask?
00:46:20He had known all along and still draped his jacket over me in the break room.
00:46:24Still protected me. Still put Victoria and her father behind bars.
00:46:28A thousand years of watching people's faces twist in fear, disgust or greed when they learned the truth.
00:46:34And this man acted like it was nothing.
00:46:36My eyes stung. My toes burned.
00:46:39He's not right in the head. He's supposed to be allergic to women.
00:46:42He's supposed to run. But he's not afraid of me at all.
00:46:47Fine. If you're not scared, then tonight I'm going to wreck you completely.
00:46:52You'll be the one begging.
00:46:54Ethan's cufflink slipped from his fingers.
00:46:56Jade. Shut up.
00:46:59I laughed through the tears and winked at him.
00:47:03Ethan didn't seem to care about the rumors, but the internet and his competitors did.
00:47:08Rival firms smelled blood and moved fast, coordinating with the media and calling board members directly,
00:47:13questioning whether Frost Capital could be trusted.
00:47:16That afternoon, Ethan called an emergency board meeting.
00:47:19I sat in the corner, officially just observing.
00:47:22The atmosphere was even worse than last time.
00:47:25Two old guard directors slammed the morning paper on the table and came out swinging.
00:47:29Mr. Frost, Jade Summers has no background.
00:47:33All of Wall Street is laughing at us.
00:47:36Our partners are questioning if she's a corporate spy.
00:47:40You need to fire her immediately and hand her over for investigation.
00:47:45Ethan sat at the head of the table, turning a pen slowly between his fingers,
00:47:49the air around him freezing cold.
00:47:51Done.
00:47:51His voice was flat. He didn't even look up.
00:47:54Mr. Frost, watch your tone. This affects the entire firm.
00:47:57Ethan finally looked up, eyes empty and cold.
00:48:00He slid two documents across the table.
00:48:03These are records of the internal accounts you two leakered to a competitor.
00:48:06On the subject of spies, you two seem far more experienced than my advisor.
00:48:10Sign the resignation and share transfer papers now,
00:48:12or I call the financial crimes unit in five minutes.
00:48:15Your choice.
00:48:16Less than two minutes later,
00:48:18both directors signed with shaking hands and left as fast as they could.
00:48:23The room fell deathly quiet.
00:48:25The remaining directors stared at the table like it was the most fascinating thing in the world.
00:48:29Ethan straightened his tie,
00:48:32signed the latest restructuring document with one smooth stroke and spoke calmly.
00:48:36Effective immediately, the senior director position is dissolved.
00:48:40Jade Summers is now my executive advisor,
00:48:42with authority equal to mine on all matters.
00:48:44I nearly jumped out of my seat in the corner.
00:48:46Okay, wow, that's a serious power move.
00:48:48But he fought that hard for me and didn't even ask if I wanted it.
00:48:51Sure, the position gives me better access to high-quality energy,
00:48:54but I was planning to stay low-key.
00:48:56This dominantic man.
00:48:58I want to wrap my legs around him and make him pay for it.
00:49:01Ethan went completely still at the head of the table.
00:49:04He set his pen down and looked straight at me across the room.
00:49:07You don't want it?
00:49:08Every director turned, completely confused about who he was talking to.
00:49:12My face burned.
00:49:13I forced a gracious smile.
00:49:15Of course I do, Mr. Frost.
00:49:17It's an honor to serve under you.
00:49:19The tiniest smirk touched the corner of Ethan's mouth
00:49:21before disappearing behind his usual cold mask.
00:49:26The new title called for a new look.
00:49:28That evening, Ethan took me to a black-tie multinational finance dinner
00:49:32at one of Manhattan's most exclusive hotels.
00:49:34I ditched the conservative blazer and wore the red gown,
00:49:38deep V neckline open back, thigh high slit.
00:49:40The moment we entered the ballroom, every head turned.
00:49:44The contrast between my bold dress
00:49:46and Ethan's cold, untouchable presence was electric.
00:49:49The whispers about my mysterious past followed us.
00:49:52Before I could even take a sip of wine,
00:49:54rival executives approached with sharp smiles.
00:49:57Congratulations on the rapid rise, Ms. Summers.
00:50:00We've all been wondering,
00:50:02what exactly is your background
00:50:04that managed to captivate our famously unavailable Mr. Frost?
00:50:08All eyes turned toward us.
00:50:09I twirled my wine glass slowly,
00:50:12keeping a perfect polite smile
00:50:13while my succubus senses scanned the table.
00:50:16This one looks like an overfed French rye,
00:50:18energy level two at best.
00:50:20Looking at him longer should count as emotional damage.
00:50:24The rest of the table is even worse.
00:50:27Combined, they don't come close to one finger of my man.
00:50:31Across the table,
00:50:32Ethan's fingers tightened slightly around his glass
00:50:35the moment I thought, my man.
00:50:37He was clearly fighting a smile.
00:50:41Ethan lifted his glass to hide the small,
00:50:43indulgent smile tugging at his lips.
00:50:45His dark eyes found mine across the room,
00:50:48sending heat straight through me.
00:50:51Nothing to say, Mrs. Summers?
00:50:54Could the media be right,
00:50:55that you have no real history at all?
00:50:57I was about to handle it my way when Ethan set his glass down.
00:51:01The entire room went silent.
00:51:03He stood, walked around the table,
00:51:05and stopped directly behind me.
00:51:07In front of every major player in Manhattan,
00:51:10he laced his fingers through mine and held my hand tight.
00:51:13Does anyone here have a problem with what's mine?
00:51:17His voice was quiet,
00:51:18but the word mine landed like a hammer.
00:51:21Hammer flashes exploded around us.
00:51:23Oh my god,
00:51:25that was the hottest thing I've seen in a thousand years.
00:51:29I'm in trouble.
00:51:30His energy is pouring into me,
00:51:33and I need to drag him to the nearest bathroom right now.
00:51:36Ethan's grip tightened.
00:51:38He leaned down, voice low against my ear.
00:51:41Jade, enough.
00:51:45The next morning,
00:51:47photos of Ethan claiming me publicly spread like wildfire across Wall Street.
00:51:51Frost Capital's official account then posted a rare personal statement
00:51:55confirming I was his full representative for all business and personal matters.
00:51:59The spy stories vanished overnight.
00:52:02I sat in Ethan's executive chair
00:52:04reading the flood of congratulatory messages
00:52:06when he appeared in the doorway,
00:52:08jacket off.
00:52:11Comfortable in that chair?
00:52:14I stood and wrapped my arms around his neck,
00:52:17pressing myself against him.
00:52:19Crisis handled.
00:52:20Time to deliver on my promise to drain him completely and make him beg.
00:52:25Right here.
00:52:26Right now.
00:52:27The thought hit him hard.
00:52:28His eyes dropped to the slit in my skirt.
00:52:31His control finally broke.
00:52:33He pressed me against the door and locked it.
00:52:36You've been driving me crazy with those thoughts every day.
00:52:39If you try to run now,
00:52:40you're not leaving this room for three days.
00:52:44His lips moved down my collarbone while his hands worked urgently at the red dress.
00:52:49His raw energy washed over me in powerful waves.
00:52:52I was losing control fast.
00:52:54He was definitely holding back before.
00:52:56This is too much.
00:52:57I'm not going to survive.
00:52:59Wait.
00:52:59He's actually tearing the dress.
00:53:01We're in the executive suite.
00:53:03There are people right outside this door.
00:53:05Survival instinct kicked in hard.
00:53:07I yelped, ducked, and slipped out of his grip, scrambling behind the desk.
00:53:12Mr. Frost, please control yourself.
00:53:15It's still business hours.
00:53:17If Leo walks in, we're both finished.
00:53:20I crouched behind the desk, trying to fix my ruined dress.
00:53:23Ethan stood against the door, chest heaving, staring at the spot where I had been.
00:53:28The vein in his temple pulsed.
00:53:29You spend every waking second fantasizing about this.
00:53:32But the moment it starts happening, you run faster than anyone I've ever seen.
00:53:36Are you torturing me on purpose?
00:53:40I stayed behind the desk and tried my most innocent look.
00:53:44I'm just being a responsible employee.
00:53:46Modern society values restraint and professionism.
00:53:50Okay, mostly I don't want to die of embarrassment.
00:53:53But what I just saw was terrifying.
00:53:55If we actually do this, he might break me.
00:53:58I'm genuinely not sure I'd survive.
00:54:00He heard everything.
00:54:02The panic and the helpless desire underneath.
00:54:05Some of the fury left his face.
00:54:07He exhaled, crossed the room and gently pulled me out from behind the desk.
00:54:11Instead of continuing, he carefully fixed the broken strap of my dress with surprising
00:54:16patience.
00:54:17I stared at his profile and felt my heart do things it had no right to do.
00:54:21This man isn't fair.
00:54:22Top-tier energy is one thing, but this?
00:54:24I've been doing this for a thousand years.
00:54:26I cannot be falling for a human CEO.
00:54:28I refuse.
00:54:30His hands stilled.
00:54:31He looked down at me with quiet certainty.
00:54:34Tonight, my place in the hills were not in the
00:54:36office there.
00:54:37I never said I was going home with-
00:54:44You don't have a choice.
00:54:50That evening, the Maybach pulled up to Ethan's private estate in the hills, an extravagant
00:54:56glass and stone property with sweeping views.
00:54:58I stood in the grand marble entryway giving myself a pep talk.
00:55:02Keep it together.
00:55:03This is just strategic energy access, nothing more.
00:55:06I'm not getting attached to a repressed CEO.
00:55:09I'm a cold-blooded sucker boss here for the buffet.
00:55:11I'm not getting domesticated.
00:55:14My suitcase suddenly lifted.
00:55:16Ethan had taken off his jacket.
00:55:18He carried my heavy bag with one hand like it weighed nothing.
00:55:21Strategic resource acquisition?
00:55:22I short-circuited.
00:55:24I always forgot he could hear everything.
00:55:25Can you let me finish a thought before you respond?
00:55:28He walked a few steps, then stopped and turned around slowly.
00:55:31His dark eyes held mine with complete certainty.
00:55:34Jade.
00:55:35Just my name low, rough, and warm.
00:55:37Like he had been saying it for years.
00:55:39My heart dropped.
00:55:41It's over.
00:55:42I'm completely done for.
00:55:45The first week at the estate wasn't the chaos I expected.
00:55:49Every night Ethan pulled me against his burning body, but outside of that he showed surprising
00:55:53restraint.
00:55:54That only made my instincts scream louder that something was wrong.
00:55:58He had been coming home later and later, holding closed-door meetings with Leo in the study.
00:56:02Every time I approached, the conversation died instantly.
00:56:06I leaned against the hallway wall, fruit plate in hand, spiraling.
00:56:11Does he think I'm too much trouble?
00:56:13Is he about to cut me loose at the next board meeting?
00:56:16Or has he already arranged with some secret lab to study me and lock me away in a cage?
00:56:22The study door opened.
00:56:24Ethan caught the full tail end of my spiral.
00:56:27His expression shifted rapidly.
00:56:29The vein in his temple throbbed.
00:56:31He took the plate from my hands, pulled me into the study, and pressed me against the desk.
00:56:36Jade Summers.
00:56:39Out of all the thoughts that run through your head, is even one of them capable of trusting me?
00:56:49I looked sideways, avoiding his eyes.
00:56:51I'm just reading the signs.
00:56:52The internet already says I'm nobody.
00:56:54You were gonna cut me loose eventually.
00:56:56Ethan laughed without humor.
00:56:58His fingers tightened on my waist, forcing me to meet his gaze.
00:57:01Cut you loose?
00:57:03Take a look at this.
00:57:05He dropped a thick legal document in front of me.
00:57:08The title was clear.
00:57:10Irrevocable Permanent Declaration of Asset Consolidation and Joint Equity.
00:57:14He had transferred half of all his core assets, including Frost Capital, into my name permanently.
00:57:19I couldn't speak.
00:57:21He just handed me half his life behind my back?
00:57:25On Wall Street, where everything is calculated.
00:57:27He split his entire fortune with a woman who barely exists?
00:57:31Is he insane?
00:57:33My eyes filled with tears.
00:57:34Ethan gently wiped the tear from my cheek.
00:57:37The media can't find your past.
00:57:39That's their failure, not yours.
00:57:40If they say you have no history, then I'll give you the strongest one in America.
00:57:43Starting today, you're my full partner at Frost Capital and my future wife.
00:57:49I stared at the documents, speechless for a long time.
00:57:53He gave me half of everything just because I was scared?
00:57:56This man must have some kind of beautiful brain damage.
00:58:00No brain damage.
00:58:01I snapped my head up and glared at him.
00:58:03Can you stop finishing my thoughts?
00:58:06Then stop thinking them so loudly.
00:58:09I took a deep breath and laid everything out.
00:58:12Ethan, I'm not from this world.
00:58:14I crossed over a few months ago.
00:58:15The person in those old photos isn't me.
00:58:17Every record I have here is fake.
00:58:19You just split your billion dollar empire with someone who doesn't legally exist.
00:58:22Are you actually crazy?
00:58:23Are you done?
00:58:24He leaned back, completely calm.
00:58:25First, I don't care if your identity is real.
00:58:28Second, I didn't do this out of pity.
00:58:30I did it because I wanted to.
00:58:32Third, you crossed over.
00:58:33That makes this even simpler.
00:58:35He leaned forward, his presence overwhelming.
00:58:37If you have nothing in this world, then you need a home even more.
00:58:40Home?
00:58:41This pure golden energy man just offered a suckvo a home.
00:58:44I want to rip his clothes off and destroy him right now.
00:58:47We're just employer and employee.
00:58:48As of now, we're full partners.
00:58:50And you're my fiancé.
00:58:52I never agreed to that.
00:58:53And in your heart, you haven't refused either.
00:58:54I raised my hand in frustration and he caught my wrist mid-air, fingers scorching and precise.
00:58:59Jade, I don't care what abyss you came from.
00:59:03You're here now, on my turf.
00:59:06I'm not letting you starve and I'm not letting anyone lock you away.
00:59:09His dark eyes burned with raw possessiveness.
00:59:12This isn't a transaction.
00:59:14It's a choice I'm giving you.
00:59:18That night, I didn't sleep at all.
00:59:20My head was too loud.
00:59:21For a thousand years in the abyss, men were nothing more than quick snacks to me.
00:59:26When I crossed into this world, all I wanted was to steal enough premium energy to survive.
00:59:31Somehow, I ended up owning half a billion dollar empire and becoming the fiancé of Manhattan's
00:59:36most celibate man, completely wrapped around his finger.
00:59:39Did I completely flip the sucker-poor survival manual upside down?
00:59:43I was supposed to be the one running circles around him.
00:59:46How did I end up the one getting reeled in with property deeds and warm milk?
00:59:50This is dangerous.
00:59:51The more I think about it, the hungrier I get.
00:59:54My legs are going weak again.
00:59:56I tossed on the silk sheets until two in the morning, then gave up and headed to the kitchen
01:00:01for water.
01:00:02The moment I pushed the door open, I froze.
01:00:04Ethan stood at the counter in a loose black silk robe, collar open, warming milk.
01:00:08Moonlight poured through the window, highlighting his collarbone and the hard lines of his chest.
01:00:13That rich, intoxicating wave of pure masculine energy slammed into me.
01:00:17Figured you couldn't sleep.
01:00:18He turned, dark eyes carrying a lazy heat and handed me the warm mug.
01:00:22I swallowed hard, fighting the urge to lunge at him, and hesitated.
01:00:26You really don't mind?
01:00:27I'm not even human, and I constantly narrate every dirty thought I have about you.
01:00:33No one here knew the old me.
01:00:35Doesn't that make me some kind of dangerous freak?
01:00:37Ethan leaned against the counter and let out a low, rough laugh.
01:00:40You think someone who's heard every greedy, filthy, calculating thought people have since
01:00:44Yash Day has any room to judge a straightforward little suck of her?
01:00:47He stepped forward, took the mug from my hands, and set it aside.
01:00:52You're the cleanest thing I've ever met.
01:00:54You think it, you say it, at least in your head.
01:00:57You're hungry, you admit you want to devour me.
01:00:59You're scared, you admit you're scared.
01:01:00Even when you're trying to bed, you're completely honest.
01:01:03No games, no lies.
01:01:05He bent down, lips brushing my ear, breath hot and heavy.
01:01:08Jade, for me that's more than enough.
01:01:11Oh my god, this man who barely flirted in his life just said something ten times deadlier
01:01:16than any dirty line I could come up with.
01:01:18My legs are done.
01:01:19I want him to pin me against this counter and take me right here, right now.
01:01:25The next day at Frost Capital, everything looked normal on the surface.
01:01:29I sat in my new executive office, tugging at my collar, replaying his low, burning voice
01:01:34from the kitchen.
01:01:35How does a man made of ice become even more dangerous when he gets warm?
01:01:38Did he secretly take an advanced flirting master class?
01:01:40My phone buzzed.
01:01:43Embarrassment shot through me.
01:01:45I jumped up and stormed down to the executive suite in my heels.
01:01:49Ethan Frost!
01:01:50Can you stop eavesdropping on my thoughts every single second?
01:01:53Ethan looked up from his contracts, leaned back in his chair, tie perfect, expression
01:01:58cool and untouchable.
01:01:59When you think things that loudly, it's impossible to ignore.
01:02:03I fell apart.
01:02:05What do you mean loudly?
01:02:06I was just doing an objective review of your body from last night.
01:02:09What if I think about you locking that door right now and pressing me down on this desk?
01:02:14Is that loud enough?
01:02:15Three seconds later, Ethan set down his pen.
01:02:17He stood, shrugged off his jacket, and locked the door with a click.
01:02:26Yes.
01:02:27He walked toward me with calm certainty and planted both hands on the desk, caging me in.
01:02:31We either quiet down in there, or we handle it right now.
01:02:35I forgot how to breathe.
01:02:36My body melted against him even as I tried to keep up the act.
01:02:40What do you mean?
01:02:42Handle it?
01:02:43Ethan lowered his head until his lips nearly touched mine, voice rough.
01:02:46For example, finishing what we started in the kitchen last night.
01:02:50This man is flirting while his ears are turning bright red.
01:02:53That contrast is criminal.
01:02:54It should be illegal.
01:02:56Jade, don't look at me like that.
01:02:58I can hear you.
01:03:26Thank you for the review.
01:03:28I bit into my stake and shot him a look.
01:03:31I was thinking that in my head.
01:03:34I heard every word.
01:03:35I gave up fighting and slid my hand under the table, squeezing his thigh through his pants.
01:03:41Since you have a direct line to my brain, can you at least mute it sometimes?
01:03:44Give a girl some privacy?
01:03:46Can't turn it off.
01:03:51He poured wine and brought the glass to my lips.
01:03:53Eyes dark in the candlelight.
01:03:55But I can promise not to take every wild thought you have seriously.
01:03:58Oh yeah?
01:03:58Which ones don't you take seriously?
01:04:00Like when you tell yourself every night that you're going to get on top and drain me until
01:04:04I'm begging for mercy.
01:04:06I nearly choked on the wine.
01:04:07For the record, I meant every word of that.
01:04:09Ethan's hand froze.
01:04:11His eyes ignited with raw hunger.
01:04:12Is that so?
01:04:13Then starting tonight, I'm taking that thought very seriously.
01:04:17Is this man reverse trapping me right now?
01:04:19Yes.
01:04:21I laughed, equal parts delighted and furious, and pinched his thigh hard.
01:04:26Ethan Frost, you're supposed to be Wall Street's coldest predator.
01:04:29When did you learn to talk like a damn romance hero?
01:04:32Ethan leaned across the table and caught my wrist, voice low and gravelly.
01:04:36I'm a businessman in the boardroom, but when it comes to you, I'm your man, and I plan
01:04:42on making every filthy idea in your head real, in bed.
01:04:45It's over.
01:04:47A thousand years of experience, and this human is about to take me down.
01:04:53The dinner lasted two full hours.
01:04:56By the end, my legs were weak from the constant wave of his energy.
01:04:59Ethan barely spoke, but his thumb kept tracing slow circles over my knuckles.
01:05:04Proper on the surface, but full of promise underneath.
01:05:07I set down my fork and stared at his handsome, cold face.
01:05:12I've always wondered.
01:05:13When exactly did you realize I wasn't human?
01:05:17Day one.
01:05:18The second you walked into my office.
01:05:21Day one?
01:05:23All you knew was that I had a very active inner mana law shock.
01:05:28It was more than that.
01:05:29He leaned back, exuding pure power.
01:05:31When you walked in, something about you felt different.
01:05:37I've sensed greed and corruption in people since I was a child.
01:05:41But with you, it was bold, yes.
01:05:45Your thoughts about me were wild.
01:05:47But your desire was pure.
01:05:50It wasn't until you screamed internally that you were a succubus, that I confirmed it.
01:05:56So you knew I was some kind of energy-hungry creature?
01:06:00Who wanted to devour you, and you still hired me?
01:06:03What kind of risk management is that?
01:06:05Ethan suddenly leaned across the table, gripped my jaw, and tilted my face up, eyes burning.
01:06:10The most desire I see is full of lie and power plays.
01:06:14Yours was honest.
01:06:16You wanted me because your instincts said so.
01:06:18That makes you more real than anyone who's ever walked through my door.
01:06:23Help.
01:06:24I spend all day mentally trying to get into this man's pants, and he calls that clean and pure?
01:06:31My values are fine.
01:06:33I've just finally found the real thing.
01:06:38When we left the restaurant, a light rain had just stopped.
01:06:42Ethan draped his jacket over my shoulders without a word and took my hand, fingers tightly laced.
01:06:47We walked slowly down the quiet sidewalk.
01:06:50This might be the first time it's just us.
01:06:52No reporters.
01:06:53No drama.
01:06:54Just him, walking with me like a normal boyfriend.
01:06:58Hmm.
01:06:59What's the M for?
01:07:01I heard everything you just thought.
01:07:04I laughed and leaned into him, going soft against his shoulder.
01:07:09Tell me, Mr. CEO, you've really never dated before?
01:07:12No Harris's or models ever caught your eye?
01:07:14No.
01:07:14Then how are you so good at all of this?
01:07:16You talk like you came with built-in charm software.
01:07:18Ethan stopped under a street lamp.
01:07:20He cradled the back of my head and tilted my face up.
01:07:22Because with you, I don't need experience.
01:07:25The second I hear your thoughts, I just know what to do.
01:07:28He kissed my forehead, then the bridge of my nose, stopping just at the corner of my mouth.
01:07:34Let's go home.
01:07:35He said home.
01:07:39Not the estate.
01:07:41Home.
01:07:44My position as executive advisor grew stronger every day.
01:07:48The old board members now avoided eye contact when I passed.
01:07:52In public, Ethan remained the icy, lethal CO.
01:07:55But the second the office door locked, all that restrained power came rushing out for me alone.
01:08:00Like when he brought me warm milk late at night and just watched me with that hungry look.
01:08:04Like when I got caught staring at his body in a meeting and he abruptly ended a billion dollar call.
01:08:09Like waking up on the office couch wrapped in his jacket and his arms.
01:08:12How does he do it?
01:08:14Ice god in public and completely addictive behind closed doors.
01:08:17This breaks every law of biology.
01:08:20Ethan looked up from his reports.
01:08:21A faint glint of amusement in his eyes.
01:08:24Because you spend all day loudly complimenting my body in your head.
01:08:28My face burned.
01:08:29I do not.
01:08:31You just finished planning exactly which position you want to use tonight.
01:08:35To drain me completely.
01:08:37I gave up pretending.
01:08:39I walked over, straddled his lap and hooked a finger in his shirt.
01:08:42Since you hear everything anyway, this weekend.
01:08:45You and me at a normal movie theater.
01:08:47No suit.
01:08:48No Leo.
01:08:49No meetings.
01:08:50A real date.
01:08:51You in?
01:08:52Ethan's hand slid slowly under my skirt, resting on my inner thigh.
01:08:56Yes.
01:08:57As long as you don't run halfway through, I'll go anywhere with you.
01:09:05That Saturday, Ethan showed up in a black turtleneck and long coat, looking dangerously casual.
01:09:10Every woman nearby stared.
01:09:12I wrapped my arm around his, claiming him.
01:09:14Look at you, out of your suit and still causing chaos.
01:09:17Hearts are breaking left and right.
01:09:19The corner of Ethan's mouth curved slightly.
01:09:22I never cared before.
01:09:24But now I only wait for one person.
01:09:27I'm done.
01:09:28This ice prince saying sweet things so sincerely is more lethal than anything from the abyss.
01:09:33In the dark theater, his energy rolled over me in waves.
01:09:37Halfway through the movie, I put my hand over his.
01:09:40He turned his palm and locked our fingers together, tight and burning.
01:09:43By the time the lights came up, we were both breathing harder.
01:09:46In the lobby, I teased him lightly.
01:09:50Your palm was sweaty the whole time.
01:09:53Your body temperature was running higher than mine.
01:09:56That's because you had a death grip on my hand.
01:09:59Ethan pulled me out of the crowd, bent down, and brushed his lips against my ear.
01:10:02That's because you never once thought about letting go.
01:10:08On the ride home, Ethan and I sat in the back with our hands still locked.
01:10:12Leo drove in professional silence.
01:10:14Ethan, hypothetically, if there was no energy connection between us, would you still have kept me that first day?
01:10:24Yes.
01:10:25No hesitation.
01:10:26The moment you walked in, I saw your eyes.
01:10:30There was no calculation.
01:10:33No interest in power or money.
01:10:35You just looked at me.
01:10:38Like I was a person.
01:10:40He pulled me closer.
01:10:41In this city.
01:10:44No one has ever looked at me like that.
01:10:49My heart skipped.
01:10:51Even the man who owns Manhattan
01:10:55has been starving for something real.
01:10:58Leo stiffened visibly in the front seat.
01:11:01Leo heard nothing.
01:11:02Correct, sir.
01:11:03I heard nothing.
01:11:05In fact, I'm already drafting my resignation.
01:11:08You're not resigning.
01:11:10I'll increase your equity another half point.
01:11:12I buried my face in Ethan's chest and laughed until I shoved.
01:11:17Late that night at the estate, Ethan found me on the sofa scrolling news.
01:11:21Don't waste energy on that garbage.
01:11:24He took my phone and pulled me against him.
01:11:28I'm worried the resonance between us could drag Frost.
01:11:34Capital down one day.
01:11:36Ethan hooked an arm around my waist and held me tight.
01:11:39The resonance isn't a curse.
01:11:41You're not draining me.
01:11:43It goes both ways.
01:11:45I need you too.
01:11:47You gave me something I never had.
01:11:49The feeling of being truly alive.
01:11:52You're scared I'll run.
01:11:54To protect you.
01:11:56Yes.
01:11:58I'm scared.
01:11:59He admitted it straight, no shields.
01:12:01You were ready to disappear.
01:12:02Alone to keep me safe.
01:12:05Jade, I don't need protection.
01:12:07I need you to stay.
01:12:09Right here with me.
01:12:11I wrapped my arms around his neck and bit down on his collarbone,
01:12:14leaving clear marks.
01:12:15Fine.
01:12:16If you want me to stay, promise me one thing.
01:12:21If the resonance ever acts off, you tell me immediately.
01:12:25No hiding.
01:12:26Ethan looked at the marks, then at my eyes and pulled me closer.
01:12:30Deal.
01:12:30I promise.
01:12:33The next afternoon, I walked into Ethan's office during a serious international video call.
01:12:39He hit mute, waved me in and pulled me into the chair beside him.
01:12:43He continued the call in fluent, ruthless German while I watched him work.
01:12:48Who would believe it?
01:12:50The hardest man in America is secretly this earnest guy who doesn't know how to say he loves me without
01:12:58looking lost.
01:13:00Ethan missed half a beat in his sentence, then recovered with icy precision and ended the call.
01:13:05I have a moment who walked into all my office.
01:13:05He pulled off his tie and stood towering over me.
01:13:10Jade, you're getting bolder every day.
01:13:13What exactly did you just call me?
01:13:16I poked his leg with my foot innocently.
01:13:18I didn't say anything?
01:13:20His hand shot under the desk and gripped my ankle.
01:13:23You called me an emotionally stempid idiot who can't express himself.
01:13:28That was in my head.
01:13:29You can't punish thought crimes.
01:13:31Ethan leaned in, breath hot against my lips.
01:13:33You're right.
01:13:34I'm not great at this in front of others.
01:13:37So tell me, Miss Advisor, where and how exactly do you want to give me that hands-on lesson?
01:13:42The most repressed man in the world just asked me to teach him how to express feelings and suggested positions.
01:13:48Nothing's wrong.
01:13:50You showed up and all my old rules went out the window.
01:13:56Later that afternoon, Leo came into my office looking nervous.
01:14:01Miss Summers, there's something I need to tell you, even though Mr. Frost told me not to.
01:14:06What's he been doing behind my back?
01:14:08He's been using every contact the Frost family has, top legal teams, private networks, even Washington,
01:14:14to research ways for non-human entities to gain legal identities.
01:14:18He's building you a complete, legitimate identity in this world.
01:14:22No more hiding.
01:14:23A real one.
01:14:26My throat tightened.
01:14:27He's been doing this quietly.
01:14:29Since I moved in.
01:14:31He never planned for me to stay in the shadows.
01:14:34Leo left.
01:14:35I stared out at the glittering Manhattan skyline, eyes blurring with tears.
01:14:40My phone buzzed.
01:14:45Not that many.
01:14:47It's the necessary investment of a husband.
01:14:50I laughed and cried at the same time.
01:14:52Can you please turn off the telepathy for five minutes, you compulsive eavesdropper?
01:14:57Business hours are over.
01:14:58Come home.
01:14:59I'll walk you through everything in the penthouse.
01:15:04That night, Ethan took me to the new rooftop terrace overlooking the city.
01:15:08He handed me a glass of wine and stood at the railing in his white shirt.
01:15:12Where do you want to start, Mrs. Partner?
01:15:15I let my leg brush against his through the slit in my dress.
01:15:19Leo said you're building me a real identity?
01:15:21Independent?
01:15:22Legal?
01:15:23Do you actually think that's possible?
01:15:25On Wall Street, when I decide I want something, impossible doesn't exist.
01:15:31He stepped close, trapping me against the railing.
01:15:34The European trust structure is done.
01:15:36You'll be recognized as the heir of an ancient private dynasty.
01:15:38It's complicated, but it will hold.
01:15:40Why go this far?
01:15:42Hiding in your assets would have been safer for you.
01:15:44Because I'm done watching you think you belong in the shadows.
01:15:48And I'm not letting you keep one eye on the exit because you're scared of hurting me.
01:15:53He tucked my hair back, then pressed his fingers firmly against my inner thigh.
01:15:58That highest seat has always been yours.
01:16:01Not out of pity.
01:16:02You earned it.
01:16:03I'm completely done for.
01:16:05No succubus could resist a cold, celibate man who decides to love this obsessively.
01:16:09I dropped my glass, slid my hands into his collar and straddled his waist.
01:16:14Since your plan is this perfect, I think we've earned some very high returns.
01:16:17Up here, with no one to interrupt us, don't you think?
01:16:23That night on the rooftop, we lost ourselves and each other under the Manhattan skyline.
01:16:28Straddling him, taking everything he gave, I told him between broken breaths about my life in the abyss and how
01:16:34scared I'd been when I first crossed over.
01:16:37Ethan held my waist, eyes blazing.
01:16:39You're really not scared?
01:16:41In the abyss.
01:16:43All I thought about was draining men like you completely.
01:16:48He drove deeper, drawing a helpless moan from me.
01:16:52You came from there, but now you're in my bed.
01:16:55By normal logic, shouldn't you have called a priest to exorcite me?
01:17:00Ethan gave a rare, wicked smile.
01:17:02Send you back so you can put your hands on some other man's body?
01:17:07Not a chance.
01:17:09He kissed my collarbone.
01:17:13It's complicated here.
01:17:16But you chose my company as your buffet.
01:17:19That means for the rest of your life, you only eat at my table.
01:17:24After a thousand years of hunger, this feels like the luckiest detour in existence.
01:17:30Ethan went still, then laughed and gave my ass a sharp smack.
01:17:34In the middle of this, the best you can think is cosmically lucky.
01:17:39Try I'm the lucky one, thirty years old.
01:17:42And I finally found my little monster.
01:17:49Weeks later, the dust on Wall Street finally settled.
01:17:52Leo and the legal team completely dismantled the Cross Foundation's network.
01:17:56Warren got twelve years.
01:17:58Victoria got three years for defamation and illegal hacking.
01:18:01She wouldn't show her face in New York again.
01:18:04I watched the footage of her sentencing with zero emotion.
01:18:08Natural consequences.
01:18:09If she'd focused on doing her job instead of trying to destroy me, she'd still have a career.
01:18:14Speaking of the sofa.
01:18:16The leather is nice.
01:18:19But last week, when Ethan had me pinned here and used his tie to...
01:18:24Across the room, Ethan's pen nearly tore through the contract.
01:18:28He looked up slowly, eyes blazing with barely contained fire.
01:18:31Jade Summers.
01:18:34You've replayed last week on that sofa at least ten times today.
01:18:37I tucked my dress lower and looked at him innocently while turning up the heat in my thoughts.
01:18:42So?
01:18:43Quality control?
01:18:46And if I'm also thinking about a live demonstration right now on this sofa with the door locked.
01:18:54Ethan took a slow breath, stood and started unbuttoning his shirt, revealing hard lines of muscle.
01:19:00Then he drew his belt free.
01:19:03You are the highest level of trouble this office has ever seen.
01:19:12But since you've been sending that invitation all afternoon, if you even think about hiding under the desk again...
01:19:21You won't like what happens next.
01:19:24It's when the most controlled man in the world turns dangerous with a belt and that look...
01:19:28That's not a man anymore.
01:19:30That's a natural disaster.
01:19:32He pushed me down onto the sofa, pinned my wrists and wrapped the belt around them.
01:19:36He bit my lower lip voice wrecked.
01:19:38I heard that.
01:19:40Focus.
01:19:43Three months later, in deep autumn, the first snow fell on Manhattan.
01:19:47Ethan had bought a new penthouse with a breathtaking view over the city.
01:19:51I stood at the floor-to-ceiling windows when a hot, bare hand pulled me back against his solid body.
01:19:57New place.
01:19:57Do you like it?
01:19:58I love it.
01:20:00So, Mr. CEO, you bought the penthouse with this exact view, just to recreate our first real night together?
01:20:06Ethan laughed low, the sound vibrating through me.
01:20:08Not a recreation.
01:20:09I want every day you spend in this world to have this view.
01:20:12Your city and mine, together.
01:20:15I turned, let my hand slide down his abs, and hooked into his robe.
01:20:18One thing, though.
01:20:19You've gone public with me.
01:20:21Split your fortune.
01:20:24Told the world I'm yours.
01:20:27And you still haven't given me one proper engagement ring.
01:20:30On human timelines, that's a violation.
01:20:32That bulletproof asset declaration outrangs any diamond.
01:20:36For a suckfa who only cares about energy.
01:20:39Does it really matter?
01:20:41I thought stubbornly.
01:20:42Probably not.
01:20:44Because whether it's the assets or that insane body of his, I decided long ago I'm keeping both.
01:20:50For life.
01:20:51No returns.
01:20:52Heard every word.
01:20:54The last of his cool distance melted.
01:20:56He pulled out a small velvet box.
01:20:58Inside was a simple, elegant, antique silver band.
01:21:01Had it ready since the day you moved in.
01:21:03Last night, after you wore me out and fell asleep, I measured your finger.
01:21:06He slid the ring onto my finger with complete ownership.
01:21:09Perfect fit.
01:21:11Of course it is.
01:21:12This man is precise about everything.
01:21:14For the first time in forever, I didn't run.
01:21:17I rose on my toes and kissed him deep, real, and full of everything I felt.
01:21:21Ethan Frost.
01:21:23Thank you for finding a stray little monster and giving her a real reason to stay.
01:21:30Thank you for falling out of whatever clack in the universe you came from and landing in my office.
01:21:35He cupped the back of my head and kissed me back, deep and warm.
01:21:40Outside, snow fell quietly over the glittering city.
01:21:43After countless years of hunger, my soul had finally found home.
01:21:47time to keep me off.
01:21:48I met one.
01:21:49This is a keyhole.
01:21:49Hope your eyes and goodbye are alive insular?
01:21:50Thank you for following me.
