The Anatomy of Wanting Him Chapter 1

I thought I understood control.

As a dermatologist in Paris, my life is a monument to precision. Every decision is calculated; every emotion is contained. My daughter lives in excess, untouched by consequence, while I exist in the quiet discipline of a reputation that cannot afford to crack.

But discipline is fragile. Especially when temptation learns your name.

Severino Haynes entered my life under the most ordinary pretense: a tutor for my daughter. He was young, struggling, and disarmingly honest. He was also entirely inappropriate. He disrupted the sterile silence of my home with laughter, defiance, and a gaze that lingered a second too long to be accidental.

At first, I mistook him for a distraction. Then, a problem.

I didn't realize he was something far worse: a man with intent.

Behind his careless charm lies a resentment rooted in a past I unknowingly helped destroy. What started as curiosity has devolved into a dangerous game. Boundaries are blurring, roles are collapsing, and I can no longer tell the difference between desire and revenge.

He wants to break me. And I am beginning to want him enough to let him try.

In a city like Paris, beauty is currency and secrets are inevitable. Nothing stays hidden forever—not my double life, and certainly not his true intentions. The cost of wanting Severino isn’t just my reputation. It’s my daughter, my past, and everything I’ve built to survive it.
