Chapter 154

Daniel’s POV

The heavy thrum of the bass from the music downstairs echoed through my penthouse, but the sound didn’t touch me. I was consumed.

The woman beneath me writhed, her painted nails clawing at my back as if she could anchor me to her. She whispered my name, her voice thick with lust, but it grated on my nerves. Her face blurred as I moved faster, rougher, chasing a release that was never truly satisfied.

I closed my eyes and let the image of her fill my mind…Christiana. Every curve, every defiant stare, every laugh that I should’ve owned. This wasn’t about pleasure. It was about control, about drowning in the fantasy that she was here, in my arms, instead of these strangers.

When I was done, I didn’t even look at the woman as I rolled off her. “You can go,” I said, my voice cold.

She blinked, stunned. “What? I thought…”

“Now.”

She scrambled out of the bed, muttering under her breath as she gathered her clothes. I didn’t care. I never cared. The door slammed shut, and I was alone again.

But not for long.

The next one arrived within the hour, a brunette with legs that went on forever. Her laughter was too high, her perfume too sweet, but she was eager, and I needed the distraction. I barely said a word as I pulled her into the room, my hands roaming her body, already imagining someone else.

She gasped, giggling as I pushed her against the wall, my lips crashing onto hers with a ferocity that had nothing to do with her. Her hands clutched at my shirt, desperate to keep up with my pace, but I didn’t slow down. I didn’t care if she could keep up.

“Daniel,” she moaned as I lifted her onto the bed, her voice dripping with desire.
