“Work harder.”
Tears sting my eyes. I can taste bitter copper as I bite down hard on my tongue. I turn to glare at Rocco, but it’s like trying to look angrily at a wall. My eyes slide back to Massimo, narrowing on him hatefully.
Massimo smiles sadistically. “Something you’d like to say, wife?”
I shake my head mutely.
“Good. Keep it that way.”
He lets me go and storms away back toward the lobby, with Rocco on his heels.
“Get me what I fucking want, Eloise.”

ALISTAIR
Ten years ago:
I wake up naked and alone.
And smelling like Eloise.
I’ve never been a morning person, and waking up on the floor of an elevator, slightly hungover, is hardly the day I’m going to start. All the same, I grin as I sit up and reach for my clothes.
I’m not surprised that she dipped out first from a one-night stand.
I smile as I pull my pants back on. I’m actually surprised that Princess Eloise turned out to be the type to have a one-night stand, period.
I’ve got my shirt halfway on when I pause, my face souring as the words “one-night stand” flicker in my head.
Who says this has to be just one night?
Then I’m shaking my head at myself as I finish getting dressed.
What, do I want to date Eloise LeBlanc?
Please. It’s an absurd idea for about a million reasons. I might have moved past the fact that she almost fucked up my whole future, since she ultimately failed at that. But still. Not to mention that she’s pledging The Order, and I’m the president of The Reckless.
She’s French mafia, I’m heading to law school. She belongs at a place like Knightsblood, because of her family, whereas I’m only here because my grandfather pulled strings with his sketchy criminal connections.
Eloise is a prude, I’m…not.
Wait, is she?
I grin to myself, remembering the night we just had.
My dick chimes in, thickening and swelling in my jeans. Yeah… That was no prude I just spent the night with. Not after four—thank you very much—times. Not when she kept begging for more. Not when she moaned for me to come inside of her, or when she swallowed my cum the next time.
…I grin darkly.
Not when she asked me to do filthy things to her.
I suck my teeth as I step out of the lobby of Worthington Tower and into the cold, gray morning air.
Fuck me, there’s a chance I just had the best night of my life, and by far the most fun I’ve ever had with a girl.
It wasn’t just the sex.
