A NIGHT WITH MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS
Lily never expected one reckless night to change her life forever.
After discovering that her boyfriend, Ryan, had cheated on her, Lily was heartbroken. The man she had loved and trusted had betrayed her, leaving her questioning everything she thought she knew about love. Determined to forget her pain, she did something completely out of character: she spent one unforgettable night with a stranger.
It was supposed to be a one-time mistake. No names, no promises, and certainly no expectations.
Until she discovered who he was.
Andrew Sterling, her new boss.
Handsome, powerful, wealthy, and intimidating, Andrew Sterling was the last man Lily expected to encounter again, let alone the man who would hold her career and professional future in his hands. He was everything she should stay away from, yet the undeniable attraction between them made keeping her distance almost impossible.
For Andrew, Lily was no longer just the woman from one unforgettable night. She had awakened something in him that he couldn’t ignore. And the more time they spent together, the harder it became to pretend their connection meant nothing.
But office romance comes with complications, and their growing feelings threaten to blur the boundaries between boss and employee. With Ryan’s betrayal still haunting Lily and Andrew’s powerful position making their relationship anything but simple, Lily must decide whether she can risk her heart again.
Can she trust a man who was never supposed to become anything more than a stranger?
And can Andrew prove that their night together wasn’t just a moment of passion, but the beginning of something real?

Marcus was lower, between my thighs with two fingers already buried inside me, curling in that ruthless way he always did when he wanted me dripping before anyone even got their cock in.“Fuck, Hansel,” Marcus muttered against my clit, the words vibrating through me. “You’re soaked.”I reached down and pushed his head closer, grinding against his mouth. “Then stop talking and eat me out properly.”He laughed, low and dark, and did exactly that with his tongue flat and insistent, licking me open while his fingers pumped in and out.

I could feel how wet she was, how wet I also was—our juices mixing until the sheets under us were already damp and the air smelled thick with sex.I braced my hands on either side of her waist and fucked her harder.The first real thrust of my hips made her gasp, a sharp little sound that went straight to my clit.

It was barely tied, the belt loose, the fabric sliding open just enough to show the lace of the panties I’d chosen for him.

Not the tense kind of quiet I had grown used to over the years.Not the silence that came before gunfire or betrayal.This silence was... peaceful.I stood in the middle of the living room with my hands in my pockets, taking it all in.Sunlight poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting warm patches of light across the hardwood floor.Beyond the glass, the sea stretched endlessly toward the horizon.The only sound was the steady rhythm of waves crashing against the shore.For the first time since I was a teenager no one knew where I was and pressuring me to come back.Julian Hawthorne was dead now, I inhaled deeply and then let the breath out slowly."You're smiling." Aurora's voice pulled me from my thoughts.I turned.She stood in the hallway with one of the moving boxes balanced awkwardly in her arms.A strand of hair had escaped her ponytail and was stuck to her cheek.She looked exhausted and happy.

I had imagined starting over would require more.Instead, it only required courage.Julian emerged from the bedroom wearing a simple black T-shirt and dark jeans. There wasn't a trace of the expensive suits he'd once worn as the Capo.No tailored jacket or expensive watch.The goal was to look as ordinary as possible so we can successfully escape.
