Ruin Me, Mr X

Shine Steamy Stories

She was supposed to be a one night transaction in the form of stripper-paid entertainment. He was supposed to be the devil the girls whispered about behind the curtains. Sable Zhen walked into that hotel suite with one goal. To survive the night, clear her debt, and disappear into a different life, a fresh start. She did not plan to feel anything, and she definitely did not plan for him. Alaric Evander Leighton is the kind of man cities are built around. He does not break his rules, he does not feel things he cannot contain, he does not contact women himself, he does not skip background checks, and he most definitely does not think about the same face two days in a row. Until the girl with the stage name—Parisol. When Sable walks through the doors of Leighton Biotech on Monday morning and finds herself face to face with the man she spent the night whimpering under, the world she has carefully constructed begins to fracture at the edges. He is her boss. She is his assistant. And between them sits an attraction neither of them can afford. But the secrets do not stop there. A tattoo behind her ear. Two criminal syndicates and a past that reaches further back than either of them knows and connects them in ways that have nothing to do with one night in a dark hotel room. Something was set in motion long before they met. And it is only just beginning to surface.
