Chapter 1: The Prodigal Son Returns
Ashley Cooper was feeling nervous as she stepped into the crowded room. She was here for a business conference, but she had no idea that her ex-boyfriend, Jace Davidson, was going to be there too. She had not seen him in years and had always assumed he was still the same geeky, besotted guy she had left behind.
As she made her way through the throngs of people, she suddenly caught sight of him. He was standing at the other end of the room, surrounded by a group of admirers. She couldn't help but stare in disbelief. The old Jace was gone and in his place was a tall, broad-shouldered, and incredibly handsome man.
He had always been attractive, but now he was the epitome of a bad boy. He had an air of confidence and arrogance that made him stand out from the crowd. Ashley could feel her heart racing as she watched him from a distance. She had never seen him like this before, and it was a stark contrast from the man she had once known.
Jace must have felt her eyes on him because he suddenly turned and looked in her direction. Ashley felt a shiver run down her spine as their eyes locked. He seemed to be studying her, and for a moment, she thought she saw a flicker of recognition in his eyes.
Just then, Jace started walking towards her, and Ashley felt a sense of panic wash over her. She had no idea what he wanted from her now, but she knew it wouldn't be good.
As he approached, he said in a croaky voice, "I am back for good and this time...I will possess you...the whole you...my love." His lips broke into a panty-ripping smile as his dark eyes ran down her body and then back to her lovely face.
Ashley felt herself tremble under his intense gaze. She had never been able to resist Jace, and now he was even more irresistible. She could feel herself becoming more and more drawn to him, even though she knew she shouldn't.
"What do you want from me, Jace?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady.
"Revenge," he replied, his eyes darkening. "I want you to pay for what you did to me all those years ago."
Ashley felt a sense of fear wash over her. She had no idea what was going to happen next, but she knew she needed to be prepared for the worst. She had hurt Jace before, and now he was back for revenge.
