Short filmTranscript
00:00:00I'm a starving succubus who survives on men's desire, but I just woke up in modern New York,
00:00:06where 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
00:00:16suit 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
00:00:31thick throbbing cock, sucking him dry and breaking his perfect control. Suddenly, Ethan snaps his pen
00:00:37clean 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 and
00:00:50raw 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
00:01:01they're above it, preaching self-control, purity and proper behavior. A few days ago I was so starved
00:01:07I could barely hold my human shape. All I did was run my hand over my co-worker's abs to
00:01:11steal a little
00:01:12energy, and I got dragged into HR, publicly fired for sexual harassment, and almost arrested. No legal
00:01:18identity here means I starve. End of story. So I squeezed myself into the most buttoned-up black blazer I
00:01:25could find, every button fastened tight to my throat, and walked into Frost Capital, one of
00:01:30Manhattan's most cutthroat firms, for a personal secretary interview. The man interviewing me was
00:01:36the one who runs everything. Ethan Frost. Everyone called him untouchable. Cold privileged, disciplined
00:01:42to the bone. A man so controlled that women could throw themselves at him all night and he would not
00:01:47even blink. But the moment I stepped into his office, a thick wave of pure, scorching masculine energy
00:01:53slammed into me. My succubus instincts went feral. Oh my god. Look at those broad shoulders, that tight
00:02:00waist, those powerful thighs. Those dress pants are stretched so obscenely I can see the outline of
00:02:07every inch. I bet he's thick, heavy, and perfect. I wonder how long this tightly wound ice prince can
00:02:14keep his control, before he snaps. I want to shove him back onto that desk, tear that expensive suit off
00:02:20him,
00:02:20and ride him raw, until he's shaking and begging. I was deep in that filthy fantasy when a loud snap
00:02:27cracked through the room. Ethan's luxury pen broke in half, black ink spilling over his fingers.
00:02:33He slowly lifted his gaze. This cold, dark eyes pinned me like a predator. His voice came out low,
00:02:39rough, and dangerously controlled. He paused, jaw-tight, eyes burning with something dark and volatile.
00:02:45Jade Summers. You're hired.
00:02:49I stood there, completely stunned. He really just hired me? After I had mentally stripped him naked
00:02:55and imagined riding him senseless? Not that I was complaining. This job gave me legitimate,
00:03:00daily access to the most powerful source of energy I had ever felt. I had barely stepped out of his
00:03:06office when Victoria, the senior director, cornered me in the hallway. She looked at me like I was
00:03:11something filthy that had just crawled in off the street. She marched up in her sharp heels and
00:03:16shoved my shoulder hard. Button that collar all the way up. If I ever see you throwing yourself at
00:03:21Mr. Frost, you won't even make it through tomorrow. Do you understand me? I let myself stumble back and
00:03:28quickly put on my most innocent, obedient face. Of course, director. I'll be completely professional.
00:03:34But inside, my succubus side was burning with contempt. Throwing myself at him? Please. You look at him like you
00:03:40own him. You have no idea how good it feels to be flooded with that kind of raw, masculine energy.
00:03:45It would probably kill you. A body like his deserves to be claimed every single day. I want
00:03:49to wrap myself around him, drain him with my mouth and hands until he has nothing left to give.
00:03:54A heavy footstep sounded behind me. Ethan stood just a few feet away in his perfectly tailored black
00:03:59suit, his presence filling the hallway. His dark, intense eyes were locked directly on my face.
00:04:05Victoria spun around instantly, flashing a sweet, adoring smile. Mr. Frost! I was just giving the new
00:04:12assistant 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
00:04:23throat 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
00:04:38of black coffee. The second I stepped through the door, that devastating masculine energy wrapped
00:04:43around me again. Hot and clean and way too close. It clung to my skin like a second layer. Ethan
00:04:48was
00:04:49leaning back in his chair, reviewing documents like nothing in the world could shake him. Shirt buttoned.
00:04:54Tie straight. Face cold enough to freeze over hell. But my eyes had no loyalty to my brain.
00:05:00They kept drifting lower straight to the tight stretch of his dress pants. That energy is so
00:05:05thick and pure it's making me dizzy. The way those pants hug him should be illegal. If he ever let
00:05:11loose
00:05:11on me, he would completely wreck me. God, I want to- I was so busy staring that I completely
00:05:16missed the
00:05:17face beside me. My heel caught the edge of it and rolled. I lost my balance and pitched forward
00:05:22straight into him. The entire cup of scalding coffee splashed across his lap. Every single
00:05:28drop. A low, ragged groan tore out of him. The documents in his hands scattered all over the
00:05:34floor. My soul nearly left my body. I scrambled up, grabbed the tissue box off his desk and started
00:05:40frantically dabbing at his thighs. Mr. Frost, I'm so sorry. Please don't move. I'll clean it up.
00:05:46The second my fingers pressed against the soaked fabric, I froze. Even through the thin material,
00:05:51the heat under my hand was overwhelming. Hard, tense, very, very alive. My fingers started to
00:05:58shake. Wait, is he getting hard? God, he's huge. Ugh, I just want to rip these pants open and put
00:06:04my
00:06:04mouth onto his monstrous cock. Ethan's hand, which had been reaching for the tissues, stopped dead in
00:06:10midair. For one terrifying second, the whole office went silent. Then his large burning hand came down on
00:06:16my lower back. He seized me and pulled me hard against his chest. My breath caught. His body was solid
00:06:23against mine, his breath hot and uneven on my face. That perfect frozen composure finally cracked, and what
00:06:29leaked through was dark, hungry, and dangerous. His 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 impossible
00:06:43to ignore. My succubus control was hanging by a thread. This man was plain dirty. And the worst part
00:06:49was, I was almost sure he knew it. I swallowed hard, my whole body going soft against him. My arms
00:06:55slid
00:06:56around his neck before my brain could stop them. I leaned in, lips parting, the tip of my tongue just
00:07:01barely
00:07:01brushing out, one more inch. Just one. Then the memory hit me like a fire alarm. HR dragging me out
00:07:08of my last job in front of everyone. Security watching me like I was dangerous. The threat of
00:07:13handcuffs, police, and a permanent record, all because I touched a co-worker's abs when I was starving.
00:07:18My blood went cold. This was not some random office. This was the CEO's office in New York. And this
00:07:24was
00:07:24Ethan Frost, one of the most powerful men in the country. Throwing myself at him was not a cute little
00:07:30workplace mistake. This could destroy my life. All my succubus confidence disappeared in an instant.
00:07:37I came here to survive, not to end up in prison. I shoved him back with a sudden burst of
00:07:42strength,
00:07:43slipped out of his arms, and dropped hard onto the floor.
00:07:46Mr. Frost, I'm so sorry. I swear I'm a respectable woman. I just slipped, that's all. I wasn't trying
00:07:53anything. 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
00:08:03the narrow crack. The, the famously celibate, untouchable ice prince, was still standing exactly
00:08:09where I had left him. His shirt was wrinkled. His breathing was rough. His hands were empty,
00:08:15like he had not expected me to escape. And the look in his eyes was not anger. It was hunger.
00:08:21The kind that made my knees weak even from the other side of the door.
00:08:26That afternoon, I went to the break room to get some water and calm myself down.
00:08:30The coffee disaster was still replaying in my head, along with Ethan's hand on my waist,
00:08:35his 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.
00:08:52Then she let her foot slip on purpose. The entire basin came crashing down over me.
00:08:57Ice water soaked through my thin white blouse in seconds. The fabric turned almost transparent,
00:09:02clinging to every curve and leaving far too much on display. Co-workers rushed over from every direction.
00:09:09Seriously? She wore that under a white blower? That is not exactly office appropriate.
00:09:13I'm not surprised. She walked into Mr. Frost's office for her interview and came out hired,
00:09:17connect the dots. And now she's acting shop, people are staring? Please, you don't dress like
00:09:22that by accident. Victoria stood at the front of the crowd, savoring every second of my humiliation.
00:09:28Her voice was sweet, but every word was meant to cut. Everyone seeing this? Our new secretary shows
00:09:33up on day one with lingerie under a white blouse and expects us to believe she is here for
00:09:38spreadsheets? I hugged my soaked blouse to my chest, shivering. This is his frost capital,
00:09:43not 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.
00:10:15What is going on here?
00:10:17One low, cutting voice was enough to freeze the entire break room. Everyone fell silent and stepped
00:10:23aside at once. Ethan walked in. His gaze landed on my soaked, almost transparent blouse. For one long
00:10:30second, he said nothing. His jaw tightened and his throat moved once hard. Those eyes usually cold
00:10:37enough to keep the whole office at a distance, darken the moment they saw me. Mr. Frost, look at
00:10:43her. I don't know what kind of stunt she pulled to end up like this, but she's been standing here,
00:10:49putting herself on display and trying to make everyone uncomfortable. Ethan did not even look
00:10:53at her. He shrugged off his jacket, still warm and carrying that clean cedar scent, then stepped in
00:10:59front of me and wrapped it around my shoulders. The jacket swallowed me almost completely, cutting off
00:11:04every stare in the room. The second his warmth touched my skin that rich, dangerous energy of
00:11:09his rolled over me. My knees nearly gave out right there. Without a word he took my wrist and led
00:11:15me
00:11:15out of the break room. No one dared to stop him. The moment we reached his office, he pushed the
00:11:20door
00:11:20open with one hard motion and pulled me inside. Then he locked it. The click of the lock went straight
00:11:26through me. Every bit of suppressed succubus instinct I had been trying to bury came roaring back to life.
00:11:31A locked door. Just the two of us. Oh I know exactly where this is going. He is going to
00:11:36push
00:11:37me against that floor to clearing window, tear off this ruined blouse, use that tie to trap my wrists,
00:11:42and punish me until I forget how to stand. Yes daddy. Punish me like I'm a bad girl.
00:11:46Ethan stopped. His back went rigid. For a moment, the office was so quiet I could hear my own heartbeat.
00:11:53Then a vein jumped at his temple and he took one slow breath like he was trying very hard not
00:11:58to
00:11:58lose control. When he turned around, his expression had gone dangerously still. The next second he
00:12:04crossed the room caught me by the waist and backed me against the window. His hands landed on either
00:12:09side of my head, caging me in completely. The glass was cold against my back. He was burning hot in
00:12:15front
00:12:15of me. His voice came out low restrained and rough around the edges. What exactly goes on in that little
00:12:21head of yours all day, Jade? Pinned against the window by a man that tall, that close, and that intense,
00:12:28I pulled my shoulders in and gave him my best helpless, wide-eyed look.
00:12:32Mr. Frost, I wasn't thinking anything. I was just scared after getting soaked like that.
00:12:38Ethan let out a low, cold laugh. His fingers closed around my jaw and tilted my face up.
00:12:44His breath brushed over my lips, warm and dangerously uneven. He did not answer me. Instead,
00:12:50his other hand went to his tie. He pulled it loose in one slow, deliberate motion like he had all
00:12:55the
00:12:55time in the world. Then he dropped it onto the desk. My pulse jumped. Then he undid the top two
00:13:01buttons of his shirt. That collarbone. That shadow beneath the open fabric. That hard, controlled body
00:13:07he kept locked away under expensive suits every single day. He stepped right into my line of sight
00:13:12and stayed there. This man was baiting me on purpose. I stared at his open collar and swallowed
00:13:18hard. My traitorous hand started rising on its own, reaching for that warm, firm chest like I had no
00:13:24survival instincts at all. Screw it. He started this. Just touching him would be worth it.
00:13:36My fingertips were one breath away from touching him. Then the alarm in my head screamed.
00:13:41Flashing lights. Cold handcuffs. Iron bars. A full criminal case with my name on it. Getting fired for
00:13:48touching a co-worker's abs was bad enough. Putting my hands on the CEO of Frost Capital,
00:13:53there was a life sentence in heels. Self-preservation kicked in. I snatched my hand back, ducked under
00:13:59his arm, and slipped away. Mr. Frost, my eyes are closed. I didn't see anything. Please keep your shirt
00:14:06on. I have absolutely zero inappropriate thoughts about you. I spun toward the door and got my hand on
00:14:11the lock. But before I could turn it, a rush of cedar and heat swept over me from behind. Ethan
00:14:17was
00:14:17suddenly there, his shirt still undone. One hand braced against the door, trapping me in place.
00:14:23His chest pressed close against my back, and his breath brushed over my ear. Zero inappropriate
00:14:28thoughts. His voice was low and rough, with an edge that left no room to hide. His fingers found my
00:14:35jaw
00:14:35from behind 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
00:15:04lifted. He reached into the pocket of the jacket wrapped around me and slipped in a black and gold
00:15:09invitation card, along with a handwritten note.
00:15:11Tomorrow night's finance charity gala. You're attending as my executive advisor. Go to this
00:15:16address today and get a gown.
00:15:18By the time I made it back to my desk, the note was still warm in my palm. The next
00:15:22evening,
00:15:23a black Maybach pulled up smoothly in front of an elite boutique on Fifth Avenue. The store manager
00:15:28had clearly been briefed in advance and met us at the door with a polished, professional smile.
00:15:33Miss Summers, right this way, to the fitting area.
00:15:36She looped the tape around my chest, then drew it in at my waist. A second later, she gasped.
00:15:42Good lord, Miss Summers. These measurements are unreal. This kind of figure comes along
00:15:47once in a lifetime.
00:15:49She immediately pulled out a red gown, deep V neckline, open back, a slit that started high
00:15:55on the thigh.
00:15:56I recommend this one. Wear this tonight, and you'll be the best thing that ever happened
00:16:02to Frost Capital's public image. I stared at that gorgeous, barely there piece of fabric,
00:16:06and my succubus instinct sat straight up. With this body in that dress? Absolutely lethal.
00:16:13So that is why he kept looking at me like that yesterday. He has been wanting to see me in
00:16:18this
00:16:18all along. Fine, I'll wear it to the gala and watch his eyes drop straight to my neckline.
00:16:25That will be entirely his fault.
00:16:27Then the memory of being trapped against the door last night came back in full detail,
00:16:31and my survival instinct seized the wheel. Low profile. Boring. If he lost control in front of
00:16:39everyone at the gala, I would lose the job and then I would starve. I backed away from the dress
00:16:43like it had personally threatened me, both hands clamped to my collar. No. Absolutely not. High neck,
00:16:50long sleeves, ankle length if possible. I am a professional.
00:16:53The words had barely left my mouth when a quiet, unmistakably amused laugh came from just outside
00:16:59the heavy fitting room curtain. Ethan had appeared on the other side, perfectly dressed, perfectly
00:17:04composed and somehow right there. He glanced at the manager, his expression unreadable.
00:17:09Give us a moment.
00:17:11The manager blinked, bowed and quickly slipped out. Ethan walked into the fitting area and picked up the
00:17:17red gown. The heavy curtain swept shut behind him. Now it was just the two of us in a very
00:17:22small space.
00:17:23The air seemed to thicken. He moved toward me one step at a time, his tall frame carrying the full
00:17:29weight of his presence, until my back pressed against the full length mirror.
00:17:33Mr. Frost, what are you doing? I swallowed hard. My palms were damp. Ethan set the gown aside and
00:17:40picked up the measuring tape. Drop straight to your neckline? I leaned unsteadily against the
00:17:45mirror and stared at him. How was he hearing every single thought in real time, even the ones from
00:17:50yesterday? He did not give me a second to figure it out. He spread his arms with the tape between
00:17:55them
00:17:55and wrapped it around my waist, pulling me in from behind in a way that felt far too close to
00:18:00an
00:18:00embrace. His energy washed over me all at once, and my legs nearly gave out.
00:18:05Help. He is so close. He is so warm. This is going to drown me. Those shoulders, that waist,
00:18:14right here, within reach. I want to push him back against this mirror, tear that suit off him,
00:18:21and make him lose every bit of that perfect control. Ethan's breathing changed. He dipped his head,
00:18:28his lips only a breath from my ear, and his voice came out low enough to make my knees weaken.
00:18:34Jade, let me find out, for myself, exactly how extraordinary you are.
00:18:41His hand moved slowly up my back. The other cradled the back of my head. His face tilted closer,
00:18:47and his lips were one second away from mine. One second before contact, the coward in me took over.
00:18:53I dropped, tried to slip under his arm, and aimed for the narrow gap beside him. This time he did
00:18:59not let me get away. His arm caught my waist and pulled me back hard against him. For a second,
00:19:04my feet left the floor and my back hit the mirror with a low, solid sound. His chest was pressed
00:19:10against
00:19:10mine with no space between us at all. Those dark eyes were done pretending. Every bit of restraint he
00:19:16had been wearing like a second suit was gone. His voice came out rough and absolute.
00:19:21Stop thinking about ruining me, and then running the second things get real.
00:19:26His grip tightened at my waist, firm enough to make it clear that this time he was not letting me
00:19:30slip
00:19:31away. Jade, you are wearing that red dress to the gala tonight. His eyes moved over my face,
00:19:39then lowered briefly to the gown beside us. Because right now, I want to see you in it.
00:19:49I 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,
00:19:59and people pretending they were not staring. We had barely made it through the entrance when
00:20:04Victoria appeared with a glass of wine and a sweet, innocent smile. Miss Summers, Mr. Frost left a
00:20:10backup document in the storage room at the end of the hall. Be useful and go get it, for him.
00:20:17I was lightheaded with hunger and too distracted to think clearly so I went. The moment I stepped
00:20:22through the old wooden door, the lock clicked shut from the outside. Heels clicked away into silence.
00:20:28Victoria, obviously. The storage room had no windows and no ventilation. It was dark, cramped and sweltering,
00:20:35like I had been sealed inside an oven. In that kind of heat with my body already starving,
00:20:40my succubus instincts kicked into full overdrive. The hunger rose from somewhere deep inside me,
00:20:46burning through my veins, turning my legs weak. All I could think about was the fitting room. Ethan's
00:20:51arms around my waist. His breath at my ear. That clean, intoxicating energy pouring off him and
00:20:57sinking into my skin. I just need him to hold me right now. That's it. Just hold me. If he
00:21:04came
00:21:04through that door and completely took me over, I don't know how much longer I can hold back.
00:21:09The lock turned again. The dark silhouette slipped inside and shut the door behind him. Then he locked
00:21:16it again. My breath caught. How long are you going? Keep driving me crazy like this, Jade. Mr. Frost?
00:21:22How did you get in here? I didn't do anything. I didn't even say anything. You didn't have to.
00:21:26Every single word. He moved closer. That overwhelming heat rolled over me,
00:21:32rich and controlled and dangerous. His hand pressed to the wall beside my head,
00:21:36and he backed me into it with his body without ever fully touching where he should not.
00:21:40In the dark, he leaned down until his nose almost brushed mine. His voice was low, rough,
00:21:46and far too steady. Then he repeated my own thoughts back to me, word for word, calm and merciless.
00:21:51I couldn't stop imagining Ethan's thick cock pushing against my pussy.
00:21:56Jade Summers, you've been undressing me in your head every day since the interview. Did you really
00:22:01think I couldn't hear you? From the moment you walked into my office on day one, every single word,
00:22:09I heard all of it. His voice was low and steady in the dark, but it carried a weight that
00:22:14made my knees
00:22:15want to give out. I stood there completely still, my mind blight. Day one? That means every thought?
00:22:23Every single insane thing I've been thinking about him?
00:22:27Every single one. He answered like he was reading from a file, his lips almost brushing my ear.
00:22:34Including? I want to tear him apart. My face burned with humiliation. I wanted the floor to
00:22:41open 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.
00:22:59I 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
00:23:19proper sentence. My mouth was denying everything while my thoughts were already betraying me.
00:23:23I don't want to run. I'm just scared. Scared of jail. Scared of losing this job. Scared I'll actually
00:23:32let him do whatever he wants. Ethan let out one quiet laugh.
00:23:36Jail? That is what you're scared of? His fingers caught my jaw and tipped my chin up.
00:23:41His eyes were always so cold. Not now. Now they looked like they could burn me alive.
00:23:46You weren't scared when you were imagining my pants on the floor. And taking everything I have.
00:23:53My 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
00:24:18to give 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.
00:24:31Healy just
00:24:31said that. Does he even understand what he's offering? I do. He dipped his head, the tip of
00:24:37his nose brushing mine, his voice rough and low. From the day you walked into my office I knew exactly
00:24:42what was going through your head. I didn't send you away. I didn't let you go. I kept pulling you
00:24:47closer on purpose. His hand settled firmly on my waist. Strong but not forcing. Like he was giving me
00:24:53one final chance to back out. Ask yourself why. I opened my mouth but no words came out. Why? Unless
00:25:00you
00:25:00actually want me just as badly. There it is. Then he pulled me in and kissed me hard. It was
00:25:05not
00:25:06tentative. It was not polite. It was not the careful controlled kiss of a man asking permission
00:25:11with every breath. It was hunger finally breaking through restraint. Weeks of cold composure cracked
00:25:17open all at once and the man underneath was anything but calm. One hand held the back of my head
00:25:22keeping me
00:25:22from retreating. The other traced my waist, his touch leaving heat everywhere it landed. I could not breathe.
00:25:28My hands found his shoulders on their own. Fingers digging into the expensive fabric of his suit
00:25:33jacket. This man cannot be real. No one this controlled should kiss like this. Ethan pulled back half an inch,
00:25:40his mouth still brushing mine. Stay with me. Then he kissed me again. Deeper this time. Slower. More deliberate.
00:25:47Like he had decided I was done running and he intended to make sure I remembered it. The storage room
00:25:53felt hotter
00:25:53by the second. His hand found the slit of my red dress and slipped beneath the fabric, his fingers
00:25:59grazing the inside of my thigh. The sound escaped before I could stop it. My whole body went soft
00:26:04against him. Ethan's breathing turned rougher. His hand moved higher, careful but devastating, stopping
00:26:11just short of the place that would have ruined every last bit of my self-control. Don't stop. Please don't
00:26:16stop now. His fingers tightened slightly against my thigh. I heard that. His hand was just about to move
00:26:22again when the storage room door exploded inward from a single kick. Victoria's voice rang down the entire
00:26:29corridor. Everyone, get over here. I found her. Frost Capital's new assistant is locked in a storage room during a
00:26:35company gala with some random man. Security, get them out here now. Victoria had brought security guards,
00:26:42senior executives, and half the gal with her. Her face was twisted with triumph. Like she had
00:26:47been waiting all night to turn one private mistake into a public scandal. This is exactly what I warned
00:26:53you about. She is a liability. She disappears during work hours, drags some man into a restricted area,
00:26:59and puts the entire company's reputation at risk. The flashlight swept wildly across the room.
00:27:04Then the beam landed on us. On Ethan. On me pressed against the wall in his arms. Victoria's scream died
00:27:11in
00:27:11her throat. Ethan's jacket came down over my shoulders, heavy with cedar and body heat,
00:27:16covering me completely. He pulled me back against his chest, shielding me from every stare in the
00:27:22doorway. His shirt was rumpled. His collar hung open. His belt was half undone. And those eyes,
00:27:29usually distant and untouchable, were burning now with something dark enough to make every person at
00:27:34that door step back. He turned his head and swept the room with one look.
00:27:38Who the hell gave you permission to kick down my door?
00:27:41Mr. Mr. Frost!
00:27:44Her legs gave out. She dropped straight to the floor, her face white as paper. She had spent the
00:27:49whole night setting a trap for me. She had dragged half the company here to watch my downfall. But she
00:27:54never imagined the man she would catch with me would be Ethan Frost himself. I stayed tucked against Ethan's
00:28:00chest, feeling his heartbeat under my cheek. And for once I did not even try to hide my satisfaction.
00:28:05Mr. Well, surprise Victoria. You tried to ruin my night, and now he's about to ruin, ruin your entire career.
00:28:13Honestly, I could not have planned it better myself.
00:28:16Ethan's arm tightened possessively around my waist. He looked down at the woman collapsed on the floor with
00:28:21total indifference, his voice cold and final. He looked toward Leo, who had just pushed through the crowd.
00:28:27Mr. Take her to accounting. Have her office cleared before midnight. Then make sure she never sets foot inside Frost
00:28:34Capitol again.
00:28:36The corridor was so quiet you could hear champagne bubbles popping in the next room.
00:28:40Victoria was still screaming as security dragged her away.
00:28:44Mr. Frost! You can't fire me over this! That little slut seduced you! You're not thinking clearly because of her!
00:28:53Her voice faded toward the elevator bank, then disappeared. Ethan did not even look in her direction.
00:28:59He bent down, scooped me up over his shoulder like I weighed nothing and started walking.
00:29:04Mr. Frost! Put me down! I can walk!
00:29:07I hung upside down against his back, half-heartedly patting his shoulder blades. He didn't stop. He carried me
00:29:14straight through the executive corridor and up to the penthouse suite at the top of the building.
00:29:18The suite door flew open with one powerful kick. Then it slammed shut and locked. The world spun,
00:29:24and I landed on the enormous soft bed, somewhere between being thrown and placed. Before I could
00:29:30even sit up, Ethan came down over me, all that intense, controlled power aimed straight at my body.
00:29:35His tie was already in his hand. He dropped it to the floor. Both palms pressed into the mattress on
00:29:40either side of my head. And those dark eyes had completely given up any pretense of being cold.
00:29:45We got interrupted earlier.
00:29:47His voice was rough and low, his breath hot against my face. We were way past pretending. He could hear
00:29:53every thought in my head. There was nothing left to hide. Something inside me finally broke. I reached
00:29:59up, grabbed his collar and looked him straight in the eyes. We barely got started. You've been listening
00:30:06to every dirty thought. I've had this whole time, haven't you? I've been holding back for weeks.
00:30:14Tonight, I'm done holding back. I let one finger trace slowly down the center of his chest. Something
00:30:21dark shifted in his eyes. The last bit of restraint in him snapped. He repeated my own thoughts back to
00:30:27me, his voice low and deliberate. That body looks incredible. I could ride him into the ground.
00:30:35Jade, if you say stop tonight, we're not stopping. He pulled me into a deep, demanding kiss. The man
00:30:41everyone knew as cold, composed, and completely uninterested in women turned out to be absolutely
00:30:47devastating the moment the door closed. That night, I learned exactly what happens when a man with that
00:30:53much self-control finally lets it snap. He was relentless. Thorough. Like a man who had spent years
00:30:59starving in the desert and had finally found the one thing he wanted. Once he had me he had no
00:31:04intention
00:31:04of letting go. He found every weak spot I had and used them against me again and again, until I
00:31:09was clinging
00:31:09to him and begging him to slow down. I'm a succubus. I don't beg. And yet here I was. By
00:31:16morning, pale
00:31:17light spilled through the floor to ceiling windows. I opened my eyes feeling like I had survived a wreck.
00:31:22Every part of me ached in ways that were far too specific to ignore. Cold, restrained, and completely
00:31:28uninterested in women? What? What a joke. I am a thousand-year-old suffogos who came to this world to
00:31:35feed on men, and last night I was the one who had to tap out. The humiliation is unreal. I
00:31:41had
00:31:42barely finished my internal rant when a strong warm arm wrapped around me from behind and pulled
00:31:46me back against his solid chest. Complaining about me again? His voice was low, rough, and far too
00:31:52relaxed for a man who had ruined my dignity only a few hours ago. His lips brushed the back of
00:31:57my neck.
00:31:58Sounds like last night still wasn't enough.
00:32:00My whole body went tense. Ethan gave a quiet laugh and was already rolling me back toward him when
00:32:06every 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.
00:32:17I leaned over to look. The financial gossip pages and social media had exploded. Frost Capital's new
00:32:23female assistant has a history of workplace sexual harassment. Woman accused of touching multiple
00:32:28male co-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
00:32:41official termination notice for my old job. The evidence looked damning. I went completely rigid.
00:32:47Victoria's final parting gift. She must have leaked it on her way out.
00:32:52Ethan stared at the screenshot. A vein throbbing in his temple, his grip on the phone so tight his knuckles
00:32:58turned white. He turned to me, his eyes burning with a mix of fury and something far more dangerous.
00:33:03You were terrified of the police. Scared I'd report you. That's because you actually almost
00:33:10got arrested. For this, isn't it? My stomach dropped. Mr. Frost, please hear me out. I had just
00:33:17arrived in this world. I was so starved I was about to lose my physical form. I only needed a
00:33:22little
00:33:22energy to survive and that guy was barely worth anything. His energy was like a three out of ten.
00:33:27I barely touched his hand and HR was already dragging me out. He was a sad little street stack.
00:33:32You are a full five bag of course meal. Why the hell would I even look at anyone else after
00:33:36tasting
00:33:37you? The murderous look on Ethan's face faltered for just a second. The jealousy in his eyes didn't
00:33:42fade. If anything, it burned even hotter. He let out a sharp humorless laugh and moved toward me.
00:33:48So what you're saying is I'm not satisfying you enough and you're already thinking about going
00:33:51somewhere else? How many men's abs have you touched exactly? Before I could figure out how
00:33:55to handle 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 the top
00:34:10floor conference room with six other board members. They've seen the morning news. They're claiming
00:34:17you're protecting someone with a sexual harassment record and it's destroying the firm's reputation.
00:34:25Warren is demanding you hand over operational control right now. They've also called the police.
00:34:31Officers are already waiting in the lobby.
00:34:34The jealousy in Ethan's eyes turned ice cold in an instant. He threw back the covers and stood up,
00:34:40grabbing a fresh white shirt from the wardrobe. He buttoned it with slow, precise movements,
00:34:46each one cold and calculated. His hands paused on his tie. He glanced over his shoulder at me,
00:34:51his voice sharp. Get dressed. Come deal with the mess you started. Anyone who thinks they can come
00:34:58after me is going to learn exactly what that cost them today. Thirty minutes later, the top floor
00:35:05conference room at Frost Capital. The moment we pushed open the doors, the entire room fell silent.
00:35:10Board members lined both sides of the long table, watching with barely hidden anticipation. Warren sat at
00:35:16the center, his pampered face arranged in smug confidence. Victoria was right beside her father.
00:35:22The second she saw me, she shot out of her chair. There she is. That shameless woman has the nerve
00:35:27to
00:35:28show her face here after everything she's done. She slammed a stack of surveillance screenshots onto the
00:35:32table. Look at these. Your precious new assistant is a predator. Because of her disgusting scandal,
00:35:39the company stock hit its lower limit this morning. Mr. Frost, if you don't hand her over to the
00:35:43police downstairs right now, you are just as guilty. The room buzzed with whispers.
00:35:48Every eye in the room turned on me like knives. Ethan sat at the head of the table, expression
00:35:53completely blank, fingers tapping slowly against the surface. The silence was suffocating. The board
00:35:59members took it as a sign that Ethan was about to fold and cut me loose. Victoria clearly read it
00:36:04the
00:36:04same way. She stormed around the table in her heels and came straight for me, arm already swinging.
00:36:10You worthless little tramp! Let me do this company a favor!
00:36:15A sharp crack echoed through the room, but I was the one still standing. While everyone watched in
00:36:21shock, 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
00:36:36hard onto the conference room floor. You just attacked someone in front of the entire board?!
00:36:42I brushed my hands off and looked down at Victoria with a slow, cold smile. You want to dig up
00:36:47the
00:36:47past? Fine. Let's dig deep. I walked to the table, picked up one of the surveillance photos,
00:36:53and held it up for everyone to see. Yes, that's me. I touched a co-worker. I got fired for
00:37:01it. We were
00:37:02both single and I accepted the consequences. Is that really worth calling the police? I dropped the
00:37:07photo directly onto Victoria's face. What's more interesting is you, Victoria. Last night, you paid
00:37:14a hacker to illegally break into my former employer's servers, stole that footage, and used company money
00:37:21to buy trending spots and bought traffic. I pulled a black usb drive from my jacket and slammed it down
00:37:27in the middle of the table. Wire transfers, chat logs, a signed confession from the hacker. Everything.
00:37:37You want to talk about who deserves prison time? Start with yourself. Victoria's face went from grey to
00:37:45deathly white. She was shaking so hard she could barely stay upright. You're making all of this up!
00:37:52None of that is real! I kept my expression calm while internally I was counting down.
00:37:57Three, two, one. Babe, your turn. I just laid every card I have on the table. If you don't back
00:38:03me up
00:38:03right now, tonight I'm gonna find a delivery guy to feed on, and you can deal with the consequences.
00:38:08Though honestly, even when he's just sitting there looking serious, why does he have to be so damn
00:38:13attractive? I want to crawl into his lap and kiss him until he loses his voice. Ethan's fingers,
00:38:19which had been steadily tapping the table, suddenly stopped. A flash of something crossed his face.
00:38:24He shot me a quick look that clearly said, control those thoughts right now. His ear had gone noticeably
00:38:30red. He looked away, regained his composure and gave Leo a small nod. Leo stepped forward and pressed
00:38:37a button. The large screen came alive, showing every transaction Victoria had made the night before.
00:38:42Followed by a confession video, Leo had clearly secured himself. The room erupted. Warren watched his
00:38:48daughter collapse and finally dropped his smug smile. But this was a man who had survived decades
00:38:53on Wall Street. He recovered quickly. Mr. Frost, impulsive decisions have consequences at your age.
00:39:00Victoria made a mistake and I'll handle her privately. But don't forget that hundred billion
00:39:04cross-border acquisition, I brookered it. The other party trusts me and only me. He lifted his chin
00:39:09arrogantly. You move against us today and that deal vanishes immediately.
00:39:15I leaned against the table and studied the old man's self-satisfied face. Something twisted in my
00:39:21stomach. I closed my eyes and fully opened the succubus ability I had been holding back all week.
00:39:26Great. Plus. Hidden secrets. They came to me like a clear scent. Within seconds, Warren's entire dirty hand
00:39:33was laid out in my mind like an open book. Hundred billion deal. Please. Sweetheart. This man has
00:39:40three mistresses. Four offshore properties in the Cayman Islands and Kyprus. Paid for with laundered
00:39:46money from this very deal. The shell companies are even named after his mistress's initials. He's
00:39:53actually that stupid. He moved 40 million into one of them just this month. At the head of the table,
00:40:00Ethan's fingers went completely still on the folder. He was receiving every shocking detail straight
00:40:05through my thoughts. He slowly raised his head. The way he looked at Warren now was pure predator.
00:40:11The look of someone who already knew every card on the table and found the whole game boring.
00:40:15The corner of his mouth curved slightly. The hundred billion acquisition, Warren? You really
00:40:20think I was only looking into your daughter last night? The confidence drained from Warren's face
00:40:24degree by degree. Mr. Frost? Ethan pressed the remote without another word. The screen switched to a
00:40:30full forensic audit report. The critical findings highlighted in stark red. Page after page of
00:40:36transactions, layered offshore shell company charts. Every thread leading back to one name. Warren.
00:40:42Ethan rose slowly from his chair, then slammed a thick stack of documents onto the conference table.
00:40:47Papers flew everywhere. Five years. Four hundred million dollars. Every transaction, every count,
00:40:55every shell company named after your mistress, it's all right here, Warren. With this kind of evidence
00:40:59staring you in the face, you don't even get to beg for mercy. The senior directors who had been backing
00:41:04him went pale. One by one, they quietly scooted their chairs back, desperate to distance themselves from
00:41:10the father-daughter disaster. Warren's legs gave out. His face turned ash white as he collapsed back into his
00:41:16chair. Lips trembling. Unable to speak a single word. I leaned against the table and watched Ethan
00:41:22backlit, spine straight, completely dismantling the old fox without breaking a sweat. I couldn't help
00:41:28myself. God, he's unreal. My knees are gone. There it is. My Secubia instincts are firing hard. I want to
00:41:37throw him down on this conference table, right now and ride him until he can't think straight. Ethan's posture
00:41:43stiffened slightly. At an angle no one else could see, the tips of his ears turned a deep red. He
00:41:49swung
00:41:49his head around and shot me a sharp look that said, control yourself right now. I stuck my tongue out
00:41:53at him. Just then, the conference room doors burst open. Several officers from the financial crimes unit
00:41:59walked in, faces grim and determined. Warren, you're under arrest for embezzlement and large-scale money
00:42:05laundry. Come with us. The cold click of handcuffs snapped around Warren's wrists. Victoria went wild
00:42:11next, thrashing and screaming that I had done this to her. But two officers pinned her down and cuffed
00:42:16her anyway. The pair who had been untouchable minutes earlier were dragged out of the room like
00:42:21common criminals. Dead silence fell over the room. The remaining directors were sweating through their
00:42:26suits, barely daring to breathe. Ethan swept the room with a cold, measured stare. Does anyone here
00:42:32have a problem with Ms. Summers staying at this company? Every director shook their heads frantically.
00:42:38No problem. Absolutely none. We're done here. In under 10 seconds, every director bolted,
00:42:44clutching their files and nearly tripping over each other to get out. The moment the door clicked shut,
00:42:50Ethan grabbed the remote and locked the conference room doors. The floor-to-ceiling blinds descended slowly,
00:42:56cutting off every bit of the Manhattan skyline. The room went dark. I was reaching for my glass of
00:43:01water, still riding the adrenaline when Ethan crossed the room in long, powerful strides.
00:43:07His presence hit me before he even touched me, that rich cedar scent mixed with raw heat. He grabbed
00:43:12my wrist and pressed me hard against the edge of the conference table. Warren and Victoria's bill is
00:43:18paid. Now it's time to settle ours. He leaned down, eyes locking onto mine with intense focus. Answer me.
00:43:25How many guys abs have you actually touched? That one with the energy score of three,
00:43:29was it really worth it? Worth it? Please. Nothing compares to that insane waste of his.
00:43:35He's in a completely different league and he knows it. That was all it took. Whatever control he had
00:43:40left snapped. He grabbed me by the waist, lifted me off the ground and sent me down in the middle
00:43:45of
00:43:45the paper-covered conference table. Cameras are off. Now I want you to show me every dirty thought that's
00:43:52been running through that head of yours. All of it. He pressed forward and kissed me hard.
00:43:57Several hours later, after we had thoroughly used every inch of that conference room, an anonymous
00:44:03investigative report landed at a media office somewhere in New York. The document was clear.
00:44:08Jade Summers. No social records, no enrollment history, no employment trail before five years ago.
00:44:14Appeared out of nowhere. Suspected false identity. Possible 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? Tore through every
00:44:32financial outlet. The piece questioned my complete lack of digital footprint or work history before five
00:44:38years ago. I sat at my desk staring at the blazing red headline. Palm sweating. This was bad.
00:44:43My five years ago, belonged to someone else's body in another life. There was no paper trail because
00:44:50there couldn't be one. Around me, the interns and junior analysts had dropped all deference.
00:44:55I was nervously tugging at the hem of my blazer when the executive suite door opened.
00:45:00Ethan walked out holding a printed copy of the report, his expression ice cold. He didn't look at
00:45:05anyone else. He caught my wrist and pulled me straight into his private lounge. The door shut. He pressed
00:45:11me down onto the sofa, sat across from me and stared at the report in silence for a long moment.
00:45:16Here it comes. He's going to ask who I really am and how I appeared out of thin air. What
00:45:21do I even
00:45:22say? That I'm a suck-a-bore who needs men's intimate energy to survive? Is he going to think I'm
00:45:27a
00:45:27monster and try to lock me away? My mind was spiraling into disaster scenarios. Across from me,
00:45:34a vein ticked in Ethan's temple. He finally took a slow breath and set the report down. What do you
00:45:39want for dinner tonight? I froze completely. Every lie I had prepared got stuck in my throat.
00:45:46I just stared at him. You're not going to ask? The whole internet is calling me a spy or a
00:45:52sleeper
00:45:52agent? Ethan stood and straightened his cuffs with that same calm composure. I'm curious. Then why aren't
00:45:58you- Because I've already heard every single thought. He met my eyes, patient and certain.
00:46:03The ones when you can't sleep. The ones when you're panicking about prison. The ones where you
00:46:08imagined me locking you up. I heard all of it. He stepped closer and caged me against the sofa
00:46:13with his body. I know what you are. A creature who survives on men's energy. That's it. What else
00:46:19do you want me to ask? He had known all along and still draped his jacket over me in the
00:46:23break room.
00:46:24Still protected me. Still put Victoria and her father behind bars. A thousand years of watching
00:46:30people's faces twist in fear, disgust, or greed when they learned the truth. And this man acted like
00:46:35it was nothing. My eyes stung. My toes burned. He's not right in the head. He's supposed to be
00:46:42allergic to women. He's supposed to run. But he's not afraid of me at all. Fine. If you're not scared,
00:46:49then tonight I'm going to wreck you completely. You'll be the one begging. Ethan's cufflink slipped
00:46:55from his fingers. Jade, shut up. I 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. Rival firms
00:47:09smelled blood and moved fast, coordinating with the media and calling board members directly,
00:47:14questioning whether Frost Capital could be trusted. That afternoon, Ethan called an emergency board
00:47:19meeting. I sat in the corner officially just observing. The atmosphere was even worse than
00:47:24last time. Two old guard directors slammed the morning paper on the table and came out swinging.
00:47:30Mr. Frost, Jade Summers has no background. All of Wall Street is laughing at us. Our partners are
00:47:37questioning if she's a corporate spy. You need to fire her immediately and hand her over for
00:47:44investigation. Ethan sat at the head of the table, turning a pen slowly between his fingers,
00:47:49the air around him freezing cold. Done. His voice was flat. He didn't even look up. Mr. Frost, watch your
00:47:56tone. This affects the entire firm. Ethan finally looked up, eyes empty and cold. He slid two documents
00:48:02across the table. These 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. Sign the resignation
00:48:11and share transfer papers now, or I call the Financial Crimes Unit in five minutes. Your choice.
00:48:17Less than two minutes later, both directors signed with shaking hands and left as fast as they could.
00:48:23The room fell deathly quiet. The remaining directors stared at the table like it was the most fascinating
00:48:29thing in the world. Ethan straightened his tie, signed the latest restructuring document with one
00:48:34smooth stroke and spoke calmly. Effective immediately, the senior director position is dissolved.
00:48:40Jade Summers is now my executive advisor, with authority equal to mine on all matters. I nearly
00:48:45jumped out of my seat in the corner. Okay, wow, that's a serious power move. But he fought that hard
00:48:50for me and didn't even ask if I wanted it. Sure, the position gives me better access to high quality
00:48:54energy. But I was planning to stay low-key. This dominantic man. I want to wrap my legs around him
00:49:00and make him pay for it. Ethan went completely still at the head of the table. He set his pen
00:49:05down and
00:49:06looked straight at me across the room. You don't want it? Every director turned, completely confused
00:49:11about who he was talking to. My face burned. I forced a gracious smile. Of course I do, Mr. Frost.
00:49:17It's an honor to serve under you. The tiniest smirk touched the corner of Ethan's mouth before
00:49:22disappearing behind his usual cold mask. The new title called for a new look. That evening,
00:49:29Ethan took me to a black-tie multinational finance dinner at one of Manhattan's most exclusive hotels.
00:49:35I ditched the conservative blazer and wore the red gown, deep-fee neckline open back, thigh-high slit.
00:49:41The moment we entered the ballroom every head turned. The contrast between my bold dress and
00:49:47Ethan's cold, untouchable presence was electric. The whispers about my mysterious past followed us.
00:49:52Before I could even take a sip of wine, rival executives approached with sharp smiles.
00:49:58Congratulations on the rapid rise, Ms. Summers. We've all been wondering,
00:50:03what exactly is your background that managed to captivate our famously unavailable Mr. Frost?
00:50:08All eyes turned toward us. I twirled my wine glass slowly, keeping a perfect polite smile while my
00:50:14succubus senses scanned the table. This one looks like an overfed french rye, energy level 2 at best.
00:50:21Looking at him longer should count his emotional damage. The rest of the table is even worse.
00:50:28Combined, they don't come close to one finger of my man. Across the table, Ethan's fingers tightened
00:50:34slightly around his glass the moment I thought, my man. He was clearly fighting a smile.
00:50:41Ethan lifted his glass to hide the small indulgent smile tugging at his lips. His dark eyes found mine
00:50:47across the room, sending heat straight through me. Nothing to say, Mrs. Summers? Could the media be
00:50:55right that you have no real history at all? I was about to handle it my way when Ethan set
00:51:01his glass down.
00:51:01The entire room went silent. He stood, walked around the table, and stopped directly behind me. In front of
00:51:09every major player in Manhattan, he laced his fingers through mine and held my hand tight.
00:51:13Does anyone here have a problem with what's mine? His voice was quiet but the word mine landed like a
00:51:20hammer. Hammer flashes exploded around us. Oh my god, that was the hottest thing I've seen in a thousand
00:51:28years. I'm in trouble. His energy is pouring into me and I need to drag him to the nearest bathroom
00:51:36right now. Ethan's grip tightened. He leaned down, voice low against my ear. Jade, enough.
00:51:46The next morning, photos of Ethan claiming me publicly spread like wildfire across Wall Street.
00:51:52Frost Capital's official account then posted a rare personal statement confirming I was his full
00:51:56representative for all business and personal matters. The spy stories vanished overnight.
00:52:02I sat in Ethan's executive chair reading the flood of congratulatory messages when he appeared in the
00:52:07doorway jacket off. Comfortable in that chair?
00:52:14I stood and wrapped my arms around his neck, pressing myself against him. Crisis handled. Time to deliver on
00:52:22my promise to drain him completely and make him beg. Right here. Right now. The thought hit him hard.
00:52:29His eyes dropped to the slit in my skirt. His control finally broke. He pressed me against the door and
00:52:35locked it. You've been driving me crazy with those thoughts every day. If you try to run now, you're not
00:52:41leaving this room for three days. His lips moved down my collarbone while his hands worked urgently at the red
00:52:49dress. His raw energy washed over me in powerful waves. I was losing control fast. He was definitely
00:52:55holding back before. This is too much. I'm not going to survive. Wait. He's actually tearing the dress.
00:53:02We're in the executive suite. There are people right outside this door. Survival instinct kicked in hard.
00:53:07I yelped, ducked, and slipped out of his grip, scrambling behind the desk. Mr. Frost, please control
00:53:14yourself. It's still business hours. If Leo walks in, we're both finished. I crouched behind the desk,
00:53:22trying to fix my ruined dress. Ethan stood against the door, chest heaving, staring at the spot where I
00:53:27had been. The vein in his temple pulsed. You spend every waking second fantasizing about this, but the
00:53:33moment it starts happening, you run faster than anyone I've ever seen. Are you torturing me on purpose?
00:53:41I stayed behind the desk and tried my most innocent look. I'm just being a responsible employee.
00:53:47Modern society values restraint and professionism. Okay, mostly I don't want to die of embarrassment,
00:53:53but what I just saw was terrifying. If we actually do this, he might break me.
00:53:58I'm genuinely not sure I'd survive. He heard everything. The panic and the helpless desire
00:54:04underneath. Some of the fury left his face. He exhaled, crossed the room, and gently pulled me
00:54:10out from behind the desk. Instead of continuing, he carefully fixed the broken strap of my dress with
00:54:16surprising patience. I stared at his profile and felt my heart do things it had no right to do.
00:54:21This man isn't fair. Top-tier energy is one thing, but this? I've been doing this for a thousand years.
00:54:26I cannot be falling for a human CEO. I refuse. His hands stilled. He looked down at me with quiet
00:54:33certainty. Tonight, my place in the hills were not in the office there. I never said I was going home
00:54:39with-
00:54:51That evening, the Maybach pulled up to Ethan's private estate in the hills, an extravagant glass
00:54:56and stone property with sweeping views. I stood in the grand marble entryway giving myself a pep talk.
00:55:02Keep it together. This is just strategic energy access, nothing more. I'm not getting attached to a
00:55:08repressed CEO. I'm a cold-blooded suck-a-boss here for the buffet. I'm not getting domesticated.
00:55:14My suitcase suddenly lifted. Ethan had taken off his jacket. He carried my heavy bag with one hand
00:55:20like it weighed nothing. Strategic resource acquisition? I short-circuited. I always forgot
00:55:25he could hear everything. Can you let me finish a thought before you respond? He walked a few steps,
00:55:30then stopped and turned around slowly. His dark eyes held mine with complete certainty. Jade.
00:55:35Just my name low rough and warm. Like he had been saying it for years. My heart dropped.
00:55:41It's over. I'm completely done for.
00:55:45The first week at the estate wasn't the chaos I expected. Every night Ethan pulled me against his
00:55:51burning body, but outside of that he showed surprising restraint. That only made my instincts
00:55:56scream louder that something was wrong. He had been coming home later and later, holding closed-door
00:56:01meetings with Leo in the study. Every 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? Is 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. Ethan caught the full tail end of my spiral.
00:56:27His expression shifted rapidly. The vein in his temple throbbed. He took the plate from my hands,
00:56:33pulled me into the study, and pressed me against the desk.
00:56:37Jade Summers. Out of all the thoughts that run through your head, is even one of them capable of
00:56:43trusting me? I looked sideways, avoiding his eyes. I'm just reading the signs. The internet already says
00:56:54I'm nobody. You were gonna cut me loose eventually. Ethan laughed without humor. His fingers tightened
00:56:59on my waist, forcing me to meet his gaze. Cut you loose? Take a look at this.
00:57:05He dropped a thick legal document in front of me. The title was clear. Irrevocable Permanent
00:57:11Declaration of Asset Consolidation and Joint Equity. He had transferred half of all his core assets,
00:57:17including Frost Capital, into my name permanently. I couldn't speak.
00:57:21He just handed me half his life behind my back. On Wall Street, where everything is calculated.
00:57:28He split his entire fortune with a woman who barely exists. Is he insane? My eyes filled with tears.
00:57:35Ethan gently wiped the tear from my cheek. The media can't find your past. That's their failure,
00:57:40not yours. If they say you have no history, then I'll give you the strongest one in America.
00:57:44Starting 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. He gave me half of everything just because I
00:57:55was scared? This man must have some kind of beautiful brain damage. No brain damage. I snapped
00:58:02my head up and glared at him. Can you stop finishing my thoughts? Then stop thinking them so loudly.
00:58:09I took a deep breath and laid everything out. Ethan, I'm not from this world. I crossed over a few
00:58:15months ago. The person in those old photos isn't me. Every record I have here is fake. You just split
00:58:20your billion dollar empire with someone who doesn't legally exist? Are you actually crazy?
00:58:24Are you done? He leaned back, completely calm. First, I don't care if your identity is real.
00:58:28Second, I didn't do this out of pity. I did it because I wanted to. Third, you crossed over. That
00:58:34makes
00:58:34this even simpler. He leaned forward, his presence overwhelming. If you have nothing in this world,
00:58:39then you need a home even more. Home? This pure golden energy man just offered a suckvo a home.
00:58:44I want to rip his clothes off and destroy him right now. We're just employer and employee. As of now,
00:58:50we're full partners and you're my fiance. I never agreed to that. And in your heart,
00:58:54you haven't refused either. I raised my hand in frustration and he caught my wrist mid-air,
00:58:58fingers scorching and precise. Jade, I don't care what abyss you came from. You're here now,
00:59:05on my turf. I'm not letting you starve and I'm not letting anyone lock you away.
00:59:10His dark eyes burned with raw possessiveness. This isn't a transaction. It's a choice I'm giving you.
00:59:18That night, I didn't sleep at all. My head was too loud. For a thousand years in the abyss,
00:59:23men were nothing more than quick snacks to me. When I crossed into this world, all I wanted was
00:59:29to steal enough premium energy to survive. Somehow I ended up owning half a billion dollar empire and
00:59:34becoming the fiance of Manhattan's most celibate man, completely wrapped around his finger. Did I
00:59:40completely flip the Succopore survival manual upside down? I was supposed to be the one running circles
00:59:46around him. How did I end up the one getting reeled in with property deeds and warm milk? This is
00:59:51dangerous. The more I think about it, the hungrier I get. My legs are going weak again.
00:59:57I tossed on the silk sheets until two in the morning, then gave up and headed to the kitchen
01:00:01for water. The moment I pushed the door open, I froze. Ethan stood at the counter in a loose black
01:00:06silk robe, collar open, warming milk. Moonlight poured through the window, highlighting his collarbone
01:00:12and the hard lines of his chest. That rich, intoxicating wave of pure masculine energy slammed into me.
01:00:17Figured you couldn't sleep. He turned dark eyes, carrying a lazy heat, and handed me the warm
01:00:22mug. I swallowed hard, fighting the urge to lunge at him, and hesitated. You really don't mind?
01:00:28I'm not even human, and I constantly narrate every dirty thought I have about you. No one here knew the
01:00:35old me. Doesn't that make me some kind of dangerous freak? Ethan leaned against the counter and let out a
01:00:40low, rough laugh. You think someone who's heard every greedy, filthy, calculating thought people have
01:00:44since Yashday. Has any room to judge a straightforward little suckavra? He stepped forward, took the mug
01:00:49from my hands, and set it aside. You're the cleanest thing I've ever met. You think it,
01:00:55you say it, at least in your head. You're hungry, you admit you want to devour me. You're scared,
01:01:00you admit you're scared. Even when you're trying to get in bed, you're completely honest. No games,
01:01:04no lies. He bent down, lips brushing my ear, breath hot and heavy. Jade,
01:01:10for me, that's more than enough. Oh my god. This man who barely flirted in his life just said
01:01:15something ten times deadlier than any dirty line I could come up with. My legs are done.
01:01:20I 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. I sat in my new executive
01:01:30office, tugging at my collar, replaying his low, burning voice from the kitchen. How does a man made
01:01:36of ice become even more dangerous when he gets warm? Did he secretly take an advanced flirting
01:01:40masterclass? My phone buzzed. Embarrassment shot through me. I jumped up and stormed down to the
01:01:47executive suite in my heels. Ethan Frost, can 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 cool and
01:01:59untouchable. When you think things that loudly, it's impossible to ignore. I fell apart.
01:02:05What do you mean loudly? I was just doing an objective review of your body from last night.
01:02:10What if I think about you locking that door right now and pressing me down on this desk?
01:02:14Is that loud enough? Three seconds later, Ethan set down his pen.
01:02:18He stood, shrugged off his jacket and locked the door with a click.
01:02:26Yes. He walked toward me with calm certainty and planted both
01:02:30hands on the desk, caging me in. We either quiet down in there or we handle it right now.
01:02:35I forgot how to breathe. My body melted against him even as I tried to keep up the act.
01:02:41What do you mean, handle it? Ethan lowered his head until his lips nearly touched mine,
01:02:46voice rough. For example, finishing what we started in the kitchen last night.
01:02:51This man is flirting while his ears are turning bright red. That contrast is criminal. It should
01:02:55be illegal. Jade, don't look at me like that. I can hear you.
01:03:01That evening, Ethan drove me to a quiet private restaurant in Manhattan. Candlelight, expensive red
01:03:07wine, no staff hovering. I wore a tight black slip dress. He had loosened his tie and undone the top
01:03:14button of his shirt. Without the tie, he looks a little less like a monk, but that tiny hint of
01:03:19recklessness makes him even more dangerous. That throat, that collarbone. He's perfect.
01:03:24Ethan's fingers tightened around his wine glass. Thank you for the review. I bit into my stake and
01:03:30shot him a look. I was thinking that in my head. I heard every word. I gave up fighting and
01:03:37slid my
01:03:37hand under the table, squeezing his thigh through his pants. Since you have a direct line to my brain,
01:03:43can you at least mute it sometimes? Give a girl some privacy? Can't turn it off.
01:03:51He poured wine and brought the glass to my lips, eyes dark in the candlelight. But I can promise
01:03:56not to take every wild thought you have seriously. Oh yeah? Which 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 I'm begging
01:04:05for mercy. I nearly choked on the wine. For the record, I meant every word of that. Ethan's hand
01:04:10froze. His eyes ignited with raw hunger. Is that so? Then starting tonight, I'm taking that thought
01:04:16very seriously. Is this man reverse trapping me right now? Yes. I laughed equal parts delighted
01:04:23and furious and pinched his thigh hard. Ethan Frost, you're supposed to be Wall Street's coldest predator.
01:04:30When did you learn to talk like a damn romance hero? Ethan leaned across the table and caught my wrist,
01:04:35voice low and gravelly. I'm a businessman in the boardroom. But when it comes to you,
01:04:40I'm your man. And I plan on making every filthy idea in your head real. In bed.
01:04:46It's over. A thousand years of experience. And this human is about to take me down.
01:04:54The dinner lasted two full hours. By the end, my legs were weak from the constant wave of his energy.
01:05:00Ethan barely spoke, but his thumb kept tracing slow circles over my knuckles. Proper on the surface,
01:05:06but full of promise underneath. I set down my fork and stared at his handsome, cold face.
01:05:12I've always wondered. When exactly did you realize I wasn't human?
01:05:17Day one. The second you walked into my office.
01:05:21Day one? All you knew was that I had a very active inner mana law shock.
01:05:28It was more than that. He leaned back, exuding pure power.
01:05:32When you walked in, something about you felt different.
01:05:37I've sensed greed and corruption in people since I was a child.
01:05:42But with you, it was bold, yes. Your thoughts about me were wild. But your desire was pure.
01:05:51It wasn't until you screamed internally that you were a succopus, that I confirmed it.
01:05:57So you knew I was some kind of energy-hungry creature,
01:06:01who wanted to devour you and you still hired me? What kind of risk management is that?
01:06:06Ethan suddenly leaned across the table, gripped my jaw, and tilted my face up, eyes burning.
01:06:11The most desire I see is full of lie and power plays.
01:06:14Yours was honest. You wanted me because your instincts said so.
01:06:19That makes you more real than anyone who's ever walked through my door.
01:06:23Help. I 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. I've just finally found the real thing.
01:06:39When we left the restaurant, a light rain had just stopped. Ethan draped his jacket over my shoulders
01:06:44without a word and took my hand, fingers tightly laced. We walked slowly down the quiet sidewalk.
01:06:50This might be the first time it's just us. No reporters, no drama. Just him walking with me like a
01:06:57normal boyfriend.
01:07:01I laughed and leaned into him, going soft against his shoulder.
01:07:09Tell me, Mr. CEO, you've really never dated before? No Harris's or models ever caught your eye?
01:07:14No.
01:07:15Then how are you so good at all of this? You talk like you came with built-in charm software.
01:07:18Ethan stopped under a street lamp. He cradled the back of my head and tilted my face up.
01:07:23Because with you, I don't need experience. The 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.
01:07:37He said home. Not the estate. Home.
01:07:45My position as executive advisor grew stronger every day. The old board members now avoided eye
01:07:51contact when I passed. In public Ethan remained the icy, lethal CO. But the second the office door
01:07:57locked, all that restrained power came rushing out for me alone. Like when he brought me warm
01:08:02milk late at night and just watched me with that hungry look. Like when I got caught staring at his
01:08:06body in a meeting and he abruptly ended a billion-dollar call. Like waking up on the office couch wrapped
01:08:11in his jacket and his arms. How does he do it? Ice god in public and completely addictive behind closed
01:08:17doors. This breaks every law of biology. Ethan looked up from his reports. A faint glint of amusement
01:08:23in his eyes. Because you spend all day loudly complimenting my body in your head. My face burned.
01:08:30I do not. You just finished planning exactly which position you want to use tonight to drain me
01:08:37completely. I gave up pretending. I walked over, straddled his lap and hooked a finger in his shirt.
01:08:43Since you hear everything anyway, this weekend. You and me at a normal movie theater. No suit,
01:08:48no Leo, no meetings. A real date. You in? Ethan's hand slid slowly under my skirt, resting on my inner
01:08:56thigh. Yes. As long as you don't run halfway through, I'll go anywhere with you.
01:09:06That Saturday, Ethan showed up in a black turtleneck and long coat, looking dangerously
01:09:10casual. Every woman nearby stared. I wrapped my arm around his, claiming him. Look at you,
01:09:16out of your suit and still causing chaos. Hearts are breaking left and right. The corner of Ethan's
01:09:21mouth curved slightly. I never cared before. But now I only wait for one person. I'm done.
01:09:28This ice prince saying sweet things so sincerely is more lethal than anything from the abyss.
01:09:34In the dark theater, his energy rolled over me in waves. Halfway through the movie, I put my hand
01:09:39over his. He turned his palm and locked our fingers together, tight and burning. By the time the lights
01:09:45came up, we were both breathing harder. In the lobby, I teased him lightly. Your palm was sweaty the whole
01:09:52time. Your body temperature was running higher than mine. That's because you had a death grip
01:09:58on my hand. Ethan pulled me out of the crowd, bent down, and brushed his lips against my ear.
01:10:03That's because you never once thought about letting go.
01:10:09On the ride home, Ethan and I sat in the back with our hands still locked.
01:10:13Leo drove in professional silence. Ethan, hypothetically, if there was no
01:10:19energy connection between us, would you still have kept me that first day?
01:10:24Yes. No hesitation. The moment you walked in,
01:10:28I saw your eyes. There was no calculation. No interest in power or money. You just looked at me
01:10:39like I was a person. He pulled me closer. In this city, no one has ever looked at me like
01:10:47that.
01:10:49My heart skipped. Even the man who owns Manhattan
01:10:55has been starving for something real. Leo stiffened visibly in the front seat.
01:11:01Leo heard nothing. Correct, sir. I heard nothing.
01:11:06In fact, I'm already drafting my resignation. You're not resigning.
01:11:10I'll increase your equity another half point. I buried my face in Ethan's chest and laughed until I shut.
01:11:18Late that night at the estate, Ethan found me on the sofa scrolling news.
01:11:22Don't waste energy on that garbage. He took my phone and pulled me against him.
01:11:28I'm worried. The resonance between us could drag Frost. Capital down one day.
01:11:36Ethan hooked an arm around my waist and held me tight. The resonance isn't a curse. You're not draining me.
01:11:43It goes both ways. I need you too. You gave me something I never had. The feeling of being truly
01:11:51alive.
01:11:53You're scared I'll run. To protect you.
01:11:57Yes. I'm scared. He admitted it straight. No shields.
01:12:01You were ready to disappear. Alone to keep me safe.
01:12:05Jade, I don't need protection. I need you to stay. Right here with me.
01:12:11I wrapped my arms around his neck and bit down on his collarbone, leaving clear marks.
01:12:16Fine. If you want me to stay, promise me one thing.
01:12:21If the resonance ever acts off, you tell me immediately. No hiding.
01:12:27Ethan looked at the marks, then at my eyes and pulled me closer.
01:12:30Deal. I promise.
01:12:34The next afternoon, I walked into Ethan's office during a serious international video call.
01:12:40He 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.
01:12:49Who would believe it? The hardest man in America is secretly this earnest guy who doesn't know how
01:12:57to say he loves me without looking lost. Ethan missed half a beat in his sentence,
01:13:02then recovered with icy precision and ended the call. He pulled off his tie and stood towering over me.
01:13:10Jade, you're getting bolder every day. What exactly did you just call me?
01:13:16I poked his leg with my foot innocently. I 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. You can't punish thought crimes. Ethan leaned in, breath hot against my lips.
01:13:33You're right. I'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. You 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, to research ways for
01:14:16non-human entities to gain legal identities.
01:14:19He's building you a complete, legitimate identity in this world. No more hiding. A real one.
01:14:26My throat tightened. He's been doing this quietly since I moved in.
01:14:31He never planned for me to stay in the shadows.
01:14:34Leo left. I stared out at the glittering Manhattan skyline, eyes blurring with tears. My phone buzzed.
01:14:46Not that many. It'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. Come home. I'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? Independent? Legal? Do you actually think that's possible?
01:15:25On Wall Street, when I decide I want something, impossible doesn't exist.
01:15:32He stepped close, trapping me against the railing.
01:15:34The European trust structure is done. You'll be recognized as the heir of an ancient private dynasty.
01:15:39It's complicated, but it will hold.
01:15:41Why go this far? Hiding 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.
01:15:54He tucked my hair back, then pressed his fingers firmly against my inner thigh.
01:15:58That highest seat has always been yours. Not out of pity. You earned it.
01:16:03I'm completely done for. No succubus could resist a cold, celibate man who decides to love this
01:16:09obsessively. I 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.
01:16:18Up here, with no one to interrupt us, don't you think?
01:16:24That night on the rooftop, we lost ourselves in each other under the Manhattan skyline.
01:16:29Straddling him, taking everything he gave, I told him between broken breaths about my life in the
01:16:34abyss and how scared I'd been when I first crossed over. Ethan held my waist, eyes blazing.
01:16:39You're really not scared? In the abyss, all I thought about was draining men like you completely.
01:16:49He 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 extorsate me?
01:17:01Ethan gave a rare, wicked smile.
01:17:02Send you back so you can put your hands on some other man's body? Not a chance.
01:17:09He kissed my collarbone.
01:17:13It's complicated here, but 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.
01:17:31Ethan went still, then laughed and gave my ass a sharp smack.
01:17:35In the middle of this, the best you can think is cosmically lucky.
01:17:39Try I'm the lucky one, 30 years old, and 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 12 years. Victoria got 3 years for defamation and illegal hacking.
01:18:02She 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.
01:18:10If she'd focused on doing her job instead of trying to destroy me, she'd still have a career.
01:18:15Speaking of the sofa, the leather is nice.
01:18:20But last week, when Ethan had me pinned here, and used his tide...
01:18:25Across the room, Ethan's pen nearly tore through the contract.
01:18:28He looked up slowly, eyes blazing with barely contained fire.
01:18:32Jade Summers.
01:18:34You've replayed last week on that sofa at least 10 times today.
01:18:38I tucked my dress lower and looked at him innocently while turning up the heat in my thoughts.
01:18:42So, quality control?
01:18:46And if I'm also thinking about a live demonstration right now on this sofa, with the door locked.
01:18:55Ethan took a slow breath, stood and started unbuttoning his shirt, revealing hard lines of muscle.
01:19:00Then he drew his belt free.
01:19:04You 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...
01:19:22You won't like what happens next.
01:19:25It's when the most controlled man in the world turns dangerous with a belt and that look.
01:19:29That's not a man anymore. That'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. Focus.
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,
01:19:54bare hand pulled me back against his solid body.
01:19:57New place. Do you like it?
01:19:59I love it.
01:20:00So, Mr. CEO, you bought the penthouse with this exact view,
01:20:04just to recreate our first real night together?
01:20:06Ethan laughed low, the sound vibrating through me.
01:20:09Not a recreation. I want every day you spend in this world to have this view. Your city and mine,
01:20:14together.
01:20:15I turned, let my hand slide down his abs, and hooked into his robe.
01:20:19One thing though, you've gone public with me. Split your fortune, told 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.
01:20:33That bulletproof asset declaration outrangs any diamond. For a Sukfa who only cares about energy.
01:20:40Does it really matter?
01:20:41I thought stubbornly. Probably 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. No returns.
01:20:52Heard every word.
01:20:54The last of his cool distance melted. He 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.
01:21:10Perfect fit. Of course it is. This man is precise about everything.
01:21:15For 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.
01:21:22Ethan Frost. Thank 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.
01:21:47Spring button is called waynes.
