Craving The Playboy's Touch
Emma Carter has been crazily in love with her boyfriend, Trevor, since high school. She spent six years of her life being the perfect girlfriend, waiting for the day Trevor would finally propose so they could finally build a future together. It happened. The day finally came, but the ring wasn't for her. He proposed to her best friend of five years,
Allysia.
Adrian Beaufort is everything Emma has always avoided. He’s an arrogant, wealthy, and playboy who has every type of girl wrapped around his fingers. He’s not just tempting; he’s also Allysia’s stepbrother. Heartbroken and humiliated, Emma should have walked away. Instead, she ran straight into cocky Adrian, the only one who sees the woman behind the glasses. He offers a tempting way to deal with her heartbreak: a hot, reckless night together.
What starts as a reckless night of passion to numb the pain quickly turns into a dangerous addiction. But Emma has a plan: she’s going to make Trevor regret every second of his betrayal. She’s convinced that if she uses Adrian to make him jealous, Trevor will come crawling back. It works better than she expected.
Trevor, now a married man, finds out about the two of them. Filled with jealousy, he is desperate to have her back in his life, realizing too late exactly what he threw away.
But Trevor has a problem. He’s now competing with his own brother-in-law, a man who doesn't play fair and has no intention of letting Emma go. As the game goes on, Emma is caught between the past she thought she wanted and the man who finally made her feel alive. Will she take back the man who broke her, or give in to the playboy who claimed her first?

Chapter: BitterEmmaAllysia and her mother belittled me in subtle ways, even making Trevor participate by constantly asking for his opinion and that was the only part that got on my nerves. Thanks to Mr. Beaufort and Adrian, I barely paid attention to them as the three of us spoke constantly about the upcoming ball. It was already expected that I’d be in attendance. Mrs. Beaufort couldn't stand her husband's genuine interest in wanting to get to know me and when she couldn't take it anymore, she spoke louder than everyone else. "Hmm, this was so lovely. I'd love to do this again. Emma, now that you and my son are dating, you should bring your family next time. You obviously can't bring your father. May his soul continue to rest in peace." The sweet cake instantly tasted bitter in my mouth and my eyes narrowed at her. It was obvious that I didn't appreciate that comment, but why would she stop there? She just had to make it worse with her next words.“Oh, I know,” Mrs. Beaufort said with a smile

Chapter: For whatever reasonEmmaJust when I thought everything could be normal for some minutes, Mrs Beaufort spoke.“I can't be the only one here who is curious,” She leaned forward, her eyes locked on Adrian and me. “We all know you've been messing around with each other for a while now and..” Mr. Beaufort loudly cleared his throat to keep her in check and she paused for a few seconds, as if to choose her next words wisely. “When did you two decide to get together?” she said. Adrian looked over at me. “It's close to two weeks now. I just realized I wanted something more than what we had..because she's amazing and when I told her, it turns out I wasn't the only one feeling that way.”“Well, better than nothing, right?” She mockingly said. “Did you know that there are some situations in which nothing is better?”I raised my eyebrows a little in surprise, at how that was obviously aimed at our fake relationship. “Son,” Mr. Beaufort said, “You haven't brought anyone home before, not even Claire. I'm glad we f

Chapter: He’s my bossEmmaMr. and Mrs. Beaufort sat at opposite ends of the long dining table, while Trevor and Allysia positioned themselves directly across from Adrian and me.Each time I came to the conclusion that all the food was served, the chefs kept returning with course after course, and the aroma wafting from each new dish was enough to make my mouth water. In any other circumstance, it would have genuinely hurt me to watch Trevor and Allysia lean close and whisper to each other, knowing that despite everything that had happened, he was still the person my heart couldn’t let go of. But I didn't get to see much as Adrian had my full attention, talking animatedly about Seraphina’s upcoming concert tour and how he planned to take me to every single show.My genuine excitement must have been getting under their skin, because the one time I glanced over, both Trevor and Allysia were staring at us with thinly veiled irritation.It was only when Mrs. Beaufort cleared her throat and clinked a glass wi

Chapter: A bit to discussEmmaAdrian guided me back through the front entrance, and as we rounded the corner toward the living room, my chest immediately tightened.Allysia was sitting on the couch with her legs crossed, looking completely at ease. And right beside her was Trevor, dressed in a suit that fit him perfectly, looking devastatingly attractive despite everything he’d done to me. Seeing him again, this close, made something in my chest flutter that I didn’t want to acknowledge.My gaze then shifted back to Allysia when she chuckled mockingly, heat rising instantly in my cheeks as I was fuming. I wanted to charge towards her and punch her right in the face, even though I knew I couldn't bring myself to do it. The thought of it already made me clench my fist tight and I would have done it with both hands, if not for Adrian holding on onto the other one.He felt me squeeze his hand, and he immediately squeezed mine back. I looked up at him, and he subtly shook his head, telling me to stay calm. I even

Chapter: It’s showtimeEmmaAdrian decided to show me some parts of the house, his hand resting on my lower back like it was the most natural thing in the world. I couldn’t decide if it was for show, or if he had forgotten that we didn’t actually have to pretend when no one was around. But I reminded myself of the countless times he’d held me like he owned me.When we came to the indoor swimming pool lined with white loungers, I subtly nodded to myself. “What?” He asked after catching it.“I can’t tell which swimming pool I prefer between this one and the one at your place.”“Mine is obviously better.” He bragged.I rolled my eyes. “Keep telling yourself that.”He chuckled while shaking his head and we kept moving until the tennis court came into view. There were two of them, side-by-side and I already felt that was a bit too much, but I reminded myself of where I was.“Do you even play tennis?” I asked, raising my eyebrows.“Wanna get in there and find out just how good I am?”I raised my hands in defeat

Chapter: It’s showtimeEmmaAdrian guided me through different parts of the estate, his hand resting low on my back like it was the most natural thing in the world. I couldn’t tell if it was for show or if he’d simply forgotten that we didn’t have to keep up the act when no one was watching. But then I remembered all the other times he’d held me like he owned every piece of me, and I decided not to overthink it.When we came to the indoor swimming pool lined with pristine white loungers, I nodded to myself without thinking.“What?” he asked, catching the gesture.“I’m trying to decide which pool I like better—this one or the one at your place in London.”“Mine is obviously better,” he said without hesitation.I rolled my eyes. “Sure, keep telling yourself that.”He chuckled and shook his head, and we continued walking until two tennis courts came into view, sitting side by side. It felt a bit excessive to me, but then again, I was standing in the middle of a Beaufort estate, so maybe this was just how thing
