We moved through the calm sea, completely surrendering to each other. Every touch led us to intimate and pleasurable moments. My body was exhausted and satiated by the intense sex and multiple orgasms. I felt like I could split in half from so much pleasure.On my knees on the bench, with my back to him, I felt Patrick passing ice over my neck, letting the cold liquid trickle down my back to my buttocks, where he bit eagerly. I let out a moan of ecstasy from the new sensation. Every moment with him was unique, and when his warm lips met my chilled skin, my body quivered with pleasure.When he plunged into me, I gasped and threw my head back, seeking his mouth for a deep kiss. Patrick increased the pace of his thrusts, and I moaned loudly as he squeezed my breasts with desire. His thrusts became more rhythmic and intense, and I braced my arms on the bench, pushing my hips back and grinding against his wet, pleasurable length.“Lis, you're driving me crazy!”Patrick growled, breathless.

I found Greg at the hotel bar, visibly nervous, his leg shaking with anxiety. “Why all the fuss, my old friend?” I called for his attention. “You know why... That damned woman is here, ready to strike, and you're playing house with your secretary!” Greg shouted, losing his composure. “Watch your mouth before you insinuate anything about Elisabeth!” I slammed my fist on the bar, drawing attention, and kept my fierce eyes on him. Looking around, he motioned for me to sit beside him, ordering our whiskey shots. “Sorry, I just can't easily accept what that cursed woman did...” My friend said, downing his drink in one go. “You know Victor is dead because of her. That ambush in the desert was to lure you in. Me, her... Damn it!” Greg slammed his glass down forcefully, trembling with nerves. I observed his

“That's why you still live haunted... He is chasing you!” I sighed, determined to eliminate this bastard once and for all.“Yes, I started moving from city to city, searching for new beginnings, but he always got close. When I arrived in Seattle with a new identity, my grandmother's illness had progressed significantly, and I had to settle into a well-paying job to afford her nursing home.” Lis smiled hopefully. “In five years, this monster hasn't found me, so I finally feel like I can start over and be happy... But you need to know and understand the risks of being with me. If he finds me and knows about us, your life will also be in danger.”“I accept the risks!” I replied firmly, leaving no doubt about my decision. “Elisabeth, I need this bastard's full name, so I can put an end to this.”“Are you crazy? No, you are not going to confront him!” She stood up nervously, biting her nails. “I didn't tell you this for you to start a fight. I won't let him hurt you or find me.”“You need

I finished the sentence, and Pablo laughed, drawing everyone's attention. “Wow, forgive me, Mr. Morgan, but that explains why you know how to recruit talents for drama...” He chuckled, being reprimanded by María. “Miss Heloise was already on her way out. Please, Mr. Morgan, come in. Let's start our meeting.” Alexandre nodded toward the door. We passed by her, and Heloise was staring at Patrick. As I walked past her, Heloise grabbed my arm and pulled me to whisper in my ear: “Be careful with him. He seems like an honorable and protective man. Usually, monsters seem to be nice people.” Heloise chuckled softly. “However, Patrick Morgan took something extremely valuable from me, and I'm not talking about money!” I pulled my arm back forcefully, adjusting my posture. The CEO was about to start an argument with his ex-wife when she

I cradled Elisabeth in my arms, stroking her back as I looked around. Her ex-boyfriend seemed determined to instill fear, which revealed a lot about his character. He sought to intimidate, to show how vulnerable and accessible she was.“Lis, I need the name of this damn guy,” I kept my tone firm.She shivered in my arms, wiping her face on my shirt and lifting her chin towards me.“Patrick, I need to leave,” she replied, looking fearful and sighing. She tried to pull away, but I held her in place. “Please, don't try to stop me.”“I won't try; I will.” I stared at her coldly. “Running away is not the solution. He found you here in Seattle, based on what you said about your ex. This bastard has the resources to find you even in hell.”I sighed, holding her hands as she sobbed amidst the tears.“I can't put you at risk, either. Don't you understand?” Pulling her hands sharply, Lis turned her back. “He could have thrown you from up here; we might not have arrived in time... This damn guy
