“Maybe.”
“Even if it’s a dangerous kink?”
I smile. “My, Peaches. I thought you were as prim as a princess and didn’t even say crude words. Now you have a dangerous kink?”
“I…do.”
“Let’s hear it.”
“I’ll only tell you if you promise to make it happen.”
I pause, contemplating the answer. I don’t usually make promises unless I know what it’s all about.
“If it’s about eating peaches, then no way in fuck. You’re not touching that shit for a lifetime.” I breathe harshly.
Why the fuck did I sound so serious? Protective almost.
“No, it’s not about peaches. It’s something more dangerous.”
“What is it?”
“Promise first.”
I purse my lips, then say, “Fine, promise. Now, tell me what the kink is.”
She gets on her knees and inches closer, bringing the sheets with her until she’s eye level with me, then whispers, “You.”
And I know, I just know I’m not only going to fuck Nicole Adler, but I’ll also enjoy and regret every second of it.

NICOLE
PRESENT
My head is about to explode.
I’m overthinking everything, thanks to a certain jerk, and worse, the onslaught of emotions that I went through over the past two days is stronger than anything I’ve experienced.
It’s like being waterboarded and I have to count fractions of seconds until I get my next breath.
It’s like living on my toes for the next hit.
I have no doubt in my mind that it’s coming. I have no doubt that Daniel will find a reason to chew me out or threaten to fire me.
It seems to be his modus operandi—wanting to kick me out. The arsehole has the power and he knows it. Hell, he’s bent on showcasing it every chance he gets so I have no misconceptions about my position.
After the initial shock of meeting him again wore off, I googled him.
What? I needed to know my enemy.
Obviously, Daniel abandoned his family fortune. He left everything behind and came to the States at the age of eighteen. He studied law, passed the bar, and became one of the youngest solicitors to acquire the junior partner position. That’s especially notable considering how big and influential Weaver & Shaw is.
Not only that, but he’s also talented enough that some European sovereignty recently appointed him as their attorney in charge. That, aside from all the international business moguls that he represents.
All except for his own family.
Not many people drew the connection between him and the influential Sterling family back home. Probably because no one would think he’d abandon such fortune to become an attorney.
