Daphne Cohens never planned to sell her soul for one night of dancing. The job was simple, slip into satin, move her body under the low lights, and leave before sunrise. But the moment her hips swayed on stage, she felt the weight of his stare. Dustin Taylor. Billionaire. CEO. A man who commands boardrooms by day and sins without apology by night. His gaze stripped her bare before his hands ever touched her. And when they finally did, Daphne’s world shattered through rough, hungry kisses, his grip digging into her skin, his voice a low growl promising more than pleasure. She should have run. Instead, she let him ruin her with every thrust, every stolen moan, every filthy word whispered in the dark. He was temptation in its rawest form, and she was helpless to resist. What began as a performance becomes an addiction, one that blurs lust with danger, power with surrender. And when Dustin makes it clear he won’t stop until she belongs to him completely, Daphne is forced to choose: escape the fire, or burn alive in the arms of the man who wants to own her body and her soul.
