Introduction

"Chloe, se mai facessi qualcosa di terribile, mi perdoneresti?" chiese.

Sfoderai un sorriso sicuro. "Assolutamente no. Scapperei lontano, molto lontano, e non mi vedresti mai più."

Perché ho sempre creduto di essere l'unico grande amore di Arthur Williams.

Ma quando scoprii che Arthur aveva un figlio con mia sorella, capii che era stato tutto parte di un piano fin dall'inizio.

Detto e fatto. Scomparsi dalla sua vita per sempre.

...

Chloe Brown era il più grande rimpianto di Howard Miller.

Così, quando scoprì che Chloe non era felice, non esitò a portarla via da Arthur.

Già sposata? Incinta del bambino di qualcun altro? E allora?

Per Howard, Chloe era e sarebbe sempre stata l'unica.

Chapter 1

Arthur Williams concluse un'estenuante conferenza internazionale di quattro ore e si ritirò nel salottino.

Si sfilò la giacca dell'abito con un gesto disinvolto; il suo fisico scolpito era perfettamente delineato dalla camicia bianca tesa, mentre la cintura di pelle accentuava le gambe lunghe e possenti.

Aveva appena slacciato il primo bottone del colletto quando un debole fruscio risuonò alle sue spalle.

I suoi occhi brillarono di istantanea allerta, freddi come l'acciaio. "Chi c'è?"

Chloe Brown uscì dal suo nascondiglio con un sorriso malizioso. Il suo corpo era avvolto in un body di pizzo nero trasparente che le aderiva alle curve come una seconda pelle, le spalline sottili che a stento contenevano i suoi seni pieni.

Si lanciò tra le sue braccia, strofinandosi contro il suo petto come una gattina provocante.

"Sorpreso?"

Il ghiaccio nello sguardo di Arthur si sciolse in un battito di ciglia. I suoi occhi percorsero le curve seducenti fasciate da quel pizzo trasparente, il pomo d'Adamo che si muoveva su e giù mentre il desiderio si accendeva, prima di sfiorarle la fronte con un bacio.

"Che ci fai qui?"

Chloe inclinò la testa all'indietro per incontrare il suo sguardo, con gli occhi luminosi che scintillavano come una galassia intrappolata nel vetro.

Un rossore timido si fece strada sul suo viso mentre mormorava: "Il medico dice che il mio corpo è finalmente tornato in forma. Questi prossimi giorni sono il mio periodo fertile... se ci impegniamo un po', presto avremo delle buone notizie."

Un rossore le scaldò i delicati lobi delle orecchie, tingendoli di un rosa tenue non appena quelle parole le sfuggirono dalle labbra.

Aveva sempre avuto problemi di fertilità, allontanandosi dal mondo dello spettacolo anni prima per concentrarsi sulle cure.

Soprattutto ultimamente, costretta a mandare giù ogni singolo giorno quelle medicine amare e disgustose.

Sapeva quanto Arthur desiderasse un bambino.

Ma di recente la filiale aveva incontrato un ostacolo.

Lui era dovuto volare lì di persona per occuparsene, così lei lo aveva seguito di nascosto, scommettendo su una buona notizia questa volta.

Le dita di Chloe tracciarono cerchi maliziosi sui rilievi degli addominali scolpiti di Arthur, scivolando più in basso per agganciarsi alla sua cintura, con il respiro caldo e provocante contro il suo orecchio.

"La riunione è finita, vero? Nessuno farà irruzione qui dentro, giusto?"

La gola di Arthur si mosse visibilmente, i suoi occhi si scurirono diventando pozze ardenti di fame, mentre il fuoco che lei aveva acceso divampava.

"Nessuna interruzione. Ma qualcuno implorerà pietà più tardi... hai appiccato tu questo incendio, e tu lo spegnerai."

Con ciò, la sollevò per la vita flessuosa, dirigendosi a grandi passi verso il letto nella stanza accanto.

Chloe si lasciò sfuggire un sussulto sorpreso, avvolgendo strettamente le braccia morbide e candide attorno al collo di Arthur, mentre un sorriso sensuale le incurvava le labbra.

Le loro lingue si intrecciarono in una danza appassionata, un filo d'argento lucente che si tracciò tra di loro per atterrare sulla cima del suo seno pieno, facendo fremere il corpo di Chloe.

Lo sguardo di Arthur si fissò su quel capezzolo turgido e lucido, mentre il suo respiro si faceva sempre più affannoso.

I suoi baci scesero più in basso con un calore crescente, trasformandosi in stuzzicanti guizzi di lingua.

Le dita scivolarono sotto le mutandine di pizzo, spingendosi nel suo calore umido con spinte lente, mentre i fianchi di lei si inarcavano e ricadevano a ritmo.

"Arthur..."

Quel sussurro ansante scatenò la bestia.

Ringhiò sommessamente, spingendo la sua durezza d'acciaio in profondità dentro di lei, riempiendola completamente, muovendosi con forza finché lei non esplose all'apice del piacere.

Fuori aveva iniziato a piovere. La finestra era aperta e lasciava entrare una brezza che faceva frusciare le piante sulla scrivania.

I respiri trattenuti dell'uomo e i gemiti dolci e spezzati della donna formavano le note più meravigliose.

Quando ebbero finito, Arthur prese Chloe in braccio e la portò in bagno per lavarsi.

Sotto la luce, la pelle baciata dal sole di Chloe brillava di calore, ora segnata da impronte rossastre, così bella da togliere il fiato.

Era come un papavero in piena fioritura, ed emanava nell'aria il fascino più intenso.

Una dipendenza fino al midollo.

Arthur la lavò con cura meticolosa, l'avvolse in una coperta leggera e la adagiò sul divano.

"Hai fame? Posso far salire qualcosa da mangiare dal mio assistente. Più tardi usciremo a cena."

"Non ho fame."

Chloe scosse la testa, ma all'improvviso lo sguardo le cadde su un rossetto sotto il divano.

La sua espressione mutò leggermente.

Tuttavia, prevalse il pensiero dell'affetto che li legava da tanti anni, fin da quando erano innamorati da ragazzini, unito all'amore profondo e devoto di Arthur per lei.

Erano stati insieme fin dall'infanzia, entrambi provenienti da situazioni di emarginazione, e avevano affrontato la giovinezza fianco a fianco attraverso innumerevoli peripezie.

Chloe non si soffermò sul rossetto: forse una cliente l'aveva dimenticato per sbaglio durante un incontro di lavoro.

Ma trascurò un dettaglio importante.

Quella era la sala privata di Arthur. Senza il suo permesso, nemmeno il suo assistente poteva entrarvi, figuriamoci delle clienti.

Per una settimana si persero l'uno nell'altra, sperimentando luoghi e posizioni diverse.

Alla fine, lei aveva a malapena la forza di alzarsi dal letto.

Si sdraiò sulle lenzuola di seta, con i bellissimi capelli sparsi intorno a lei come alghe.

Chloe guardò Arthur con occhi lucidi e imploranti.

"Amore, facciamo una pausa. Sono esausta."

Arthur appoggiò le mani ai lati del viso di lei, con gli occhi traboccanti di tenerezza.

"Chloe, ti amerò per sempre."

"Anch'io."

Quel fare l'amore, rispetto alla loro solita dolcezza, aveva portato con sé una sfumatura di possessività, come se lui volesse tenere Chloe al suo fianco per sempre.

Chloe era completamente sfinita e stava scivolando nel sonno, quando sentì qualcosa di freddo contro la caviglia.

Aprì istintivamente gli occhi e vide che ora indossava la cavigliera Lacrima di Balena.

Lo zaffiro blu, più grande di un uovo di colomba, era incastonato di diamanti in una catena intricata che le avvolgeva la caviglia in strati delicati.

Sotto la luce, lo zaffiro brillava di una luce mozzafiato.

Era la gemma di altissima qualità che qualche tempo prima era finita spesso in cima alle ricerche del web. Era stata battuta all'asta per decine di milioni ed era l'unica e inimitabile "Lacrima di Balena".

"Eyes up here," he said.

My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.

⬥ Keegan ⬥
I was sent to her.
To watch her. To protect her. And, when the order comes… to kill her.
My name is Keegan Caffery. I’m the Carter Mafia’s best hitman. I don’t miss. I don’t fail.
At least, I didn’t use to.
I don’t know what it is about her that got to me first—her mouth, her mind, or the way she looks at me like I’m not what she should fear.
I’ve had a gun to her head since I walked into her life.
She knows it.
And she still doesn’t run.
She just watches me back like she’s studying a problem she refuses to call impossible.
She’s the one variable I can’t control.
And God help me… I don’t want to.
I have an order. I have loyalty. I have a trigger.
But every time I imagine it—
I can’t stand it.
Her or me. That’s the math.
It’s a deadly equation I don’t want to solve.
⬥ Maisie ⬥
I’m not ordinary. I stopped pretending long ago.
My name is Maisie Seo. IQ 145. Clinical genius.
Which sounds impressive until you realize what it actually means: I don’t fit anywhere people expect me to.
I see patterns everywhere. Outcomes before they happen. People like equations I’ve already solved.
It gets lonely in a world you’ve already figured out.
So I dull myself down. Smoke the edges off. Pretend, badly, to be the kind of normal that lets people stay.
Then he walked in.
I knew what he was immediately. Dangerous. Intentional. Wrong in all the right ways.
I should be afraid of him.
I keep waiting for that to kick in.
Instead, I’m fascinated.
Because for the first time in my life… I’ve found something I can’t solve.
He is my deadly equation.
