like him yet so similar. You took from me just like he did. He took my love for granted, you took my passion for my job.” He chuckled near my ear. I felt the heat of his breath, the scrape of his five-o’clock shadow brushing against my skin. “I’ll do whatever is needed to keep my team in line.” “I’m not on your team. Your team is you and no one else. You haven’t seen any of us in a year.” “I always see you, baby doll.” He grazed
The growl that came from him was low with appreciation as my ass brushed against his hard length. Then he whispered in my ear, “He wanted you to work it off. Can you tell what I want?”
Don’t you see I deserve it, and I’ll make you feel good while you do it? Gerald could never do that,” he murmured as his hand traced my lace bra. “You’re deranged.” I shook my head,
“Oh, I’m going to hell, baby. But I’m dragging you with me.” He curled his fingers over my G-spot, so fast I heard my pussy purring as I got closer and closer to my climax. He whispered in my ear, “Time to feel the licks of fire and see if you ever want to come back to earth.”
every ounce of my orgasm out of me. “Ms. Hardy.” He tsked while he brought his fingers to his mouth, sucking them clean. “You can say you hate me all you want but your lies taste so damn sweet.” I sucked in a breath at his vicious words and glanced away because if I didn’t, I’d

“I can’t believe you have the audacity to act as though you’ve done nothing wrong here. You shoved me up against an elevator door the second it stalled. To anyone who watches the tape, you’re not exactly the innocent party handing out favors here.” I flicked my eyes to the cameras. When my retort was met with silence, I thought I’d won. Instead, genuine laughter burst from deep in his chest and vibrated through me. “You’re funny sometimes, Izzy. I’ll give you that.”
report me. You were moaning and enjoying yourself about as much as me.” I was so sick of him thinking he was above me and my team. Maybe I really would report him. “You know, I deserve a boss who doesn’t laugh in my face and act like an asshole every chance he gets. I work hard for this company. Quite frankly, the whole team does.” “Are you saying that’s what I do?” I blew a breath in irritation. “That’s definitely what you do.” “Okay.” He tilted his head as he thought
“I’m not waiting another minute for you, baby doll. I’ve had to endure your bad attitude for long enough. Now, I’m going to fuck it out of you.”

“No, dollface. I know how to fight. I’m not worried about a guy looking at you wrong. I’ve slit enough throats to combat that.”
Ms. Hardy?” “I’m sure you could find someone.” I shrugged, but the idea tore my heart out. He nodded once, a frown appearing on his
Cade Armanelli had shown up in that same Scream mask from our last pre-Halloween event at Stonewood Enterprises. Not even a second later, the lights cut out in the whole club. Screams rang out, and I gasped when, a second later, someone grabbed me. I jerked away, ready to fight until I heard the gravel in his voice close to my ear. “Fight me, dollface. We’ll both enjoy this more if you do.”
“Why would I kid about fucking that pussy? The lights are out for a reason.”
“You like the mask, baby doll? Want to fuck a stranger instead of the guy you’re trying your best not to love?”
I whimpered. “People are going to notice, Cade. There’s no music or anything. We can’t do this.” It only took a moment of him sliding his phone out and pressing a few buttons for the music to blast on with a few of the strobe lights. People screamed in celebration, and then his hand dropped his phone back into his pocket, only to pull out that switchblade he always carried with him. “Now,
