Victor leaned in, his lips brushing Isadora's ear. He caught her earlobe gently between his teeth, his voice low and impossibly seductive. "Be good. Let me hear you call me 'darling.""

His warm breath danced against her skin, sending a shiver straight through her. Just thinking about the way his lips had moved over her last night made her pulse race all over again.

Once Isadora arrived at the office, her assistant, Inman, knocked and entered with his usual professional efficiency to go over her schedule.

"President Vaughan, your interview with Pulse News is set for three o'clock this afternoon. It'll be a one-on-one, but there'll be a live audience as well. Most of the questions will focus on the rumors sparked by your last press conference."

Inman hesitated before continuing. "Pulse News has a massive national following, but they're also notorious for digging into personal lives and stirring up drama for ratings. I just want you to be prepared-they'll probably ask some very personal questions..."

Isadora's phone chimed on the desk. She half-listened to Inman as she glanced at her messages.
