Ava jolted awake in her own bed. Sweat dampened her sheets. Her heart raced as fragments of the dream lingered. The engagement. The yacht. The effortless happiness. She sat up slowly. The diamond ring from her dream was gone. Of course it was. None of that had happened. The confession at the family meeting was still fresh. Emma’s hurt face. Richard’s threats. The scandal breaking. It had all been a vivid dream. Her mind weaving wishful endings from the chaos of her real life.

  • Can’t Stay Away From My Best Friend’s Billionaire Brother   Chapter 28: Waking Reality

    Ava jolted awake in her own bed. Sweat dampened her sheets. Her heart raced as fragments of the dream lingered. The engagement. The yacht. The effortless happiness. She sat up slowly. The diamond ring from her dream was gone. Of course it was. None of that had happened. The confession at the family meeting was still fresh. Emma’s hurt face. Richard’s threats. The scandal breaking. It had all been a vivid dream. Her mind weaving wishful endings from the chaos of her real life.She rubbed her eyes and checked her phone. No engagement. No peaceful resolution. Just a string of unread messages from Damon checking in and one from Emma that simply read I need more time. The weight of reality settled back on her chest. She had not fixed anything. The tension with Emma remained raw. Richard’s video threat still loomed. Her job hung by a thread. And the pull toward Damon felt stronger than ever despite her best efforts to create distance.She showered quickly. The hot water did little to wash a

  • Can’t Stay Away From My Best Friend’s Billionaire Brother   Chapter 27: Full Circle

    Ava woke up in Damon’s penthouse to the smell of fresh coffee and the soft hum of the city far below. Three months had passed since the chaotic launch night. Life had settled into a new rhythm. One filled with love, work success, and the slow healing of old wounds. She stretched lazily under the silk sheets. Her body still carried the pleasant ache from last night’s passion. Damon had taken his time with her. Worshipping every inch until she came apart multiple times under his skilled mouth and thick cock.He appeared in the doorway carrying two mugs. Shirtless in just gray sweatpants that hung low on his hips. The sight never failed to make her pulse quicken. “Good morning beautiful,” he said. His voice was warm. He set the mugs down and crawled back into bed. Pulling her against his chest. “Sleep well?”“Barely,” she teased. Her fingers traced the hard lines of his abs. “Someone kept me up most of the night.”He chuckled. The sound vibrated through her. His hand slid down her bare b

  • Can’t Stay Away From My Best Friend’s Billionaire Brother   Chapter 26: New Beginnings and Lingering Shadows

    Ava woke up wrapped in Damon’s arms. Sunlight filtered through her bedroom curtains. His warm body pressed against her back. One large hand cupped her breast possessively even in sleep. She smiled and shifted slightly. The movement woke him. His cock hardened against her ass. He nuzzled her neck. Kissing the sensitive spot that always made her shiver.“Good morning,” he murmured. His voice was rough with sleep and desire. His fingers pinched her nipple gently. Rolling it until it hardened. Ava moaned softly. Heat pooled between her thighs instantly.She turned to face him. Their mouths met in a slow deep kiss. Tongues tangled lazily. His hand slid down her body. Cupping her pussy. Two fingers slipped inside her already wet folds. “Always so ready for me,” he groaned. He pumped them slowly. Curling to stroke that sensitive spot inside her. Ava rocked against his hand. Chasing the pleasure.“I need you inside me,” she whispered against his lips. “Now.”Damon rolled on top of her. Spread

    The door had barely clicked shut behind them before Ava pushed Damon against it. Months of restraint exploded between them. His hands gripped her waist hard. He pulled her flush against his body. Their mouths crashed together in a desperate kiss. Tongues tangled. Teeth nipped. All the slow burning tension they had held back finally unleashed.“God I have wanted this,” Damon growled against her lips. His voice was rough with need. “Every single day. Watching you fight. Standing up to my father. It drove me insane.”Ava moaned into his mouth. Her fingers worked frantically at his tie and shirt buttons. She needed skin. Needed him. “Then stop talking and take me. I am done waiting.”He spun them around. Pinned her against the wall. His mouth trailed hot kisses down her neck. Sucking. Biting. Marking her. One large hand shoved the hem of her cocktail dress up her thighs. His fingers found her soaked panties and rubbed her aching clit through the lace. Ava gasped. Her hips bucked into his

  • Can’t Stay Away From My Best Friend’s Billionaire Brother   Chapter 23: The Launch Night Reckoning

    Ava stood in front of her mirror adjusting the sleek black cocktail dress she had chosen for the campaign launch event. It hugged her curves without being overly revealing. Professional with just enough edge to remind everyone she was not backing down. Her hands trembled slightly as she fastened her earrings. Tonight was the night. The big event where the campaign would be unveiled to investors and media. Richard had promised to be there. So had Emma. And the full video threat still hung over them like a blade.Damon had sent a car for her. When she arrived at the upscale venue downtown the energy was electric. Crystal chandeliers sparkled overhead. Waiters circulated with champagne. Executives and influencers filled the room. She spotted Damon immediately near the main stage. He looked devastating in a tailored black suit. Their eyes met across the crowded space. The months of slow building tension hit her full force. Heat pooled low in her belly. She remembered every stolen kiss. Ev

    Ava barely slept after forwarding the video to Damon. The footage from Emma’s birthday night played on repeat in her mind. The way they had slipped away. The heated kiss against the wall. It was undeniable proof. By morning she felt wired on caffeine and determination. She met Damon at a discreet law firm downtown instead of his penthouse. Neutral ground with professionals present felt safer given the new threat.Damon looked sharp and focused in a charcoal suit. His eyes softened when he saw her but the tension in his jaw showed the stakes. “My team traced the source. One of my father’s former security guards. We are filing for injunction this morning to block any release. But Richard is escalating fast. He wants this public before the campaign launch event next week.”The lawyers outlined their strategy. Cease and desist letters. Potential defamation suits. Ava contributed sharply pointing out how the video could be spun as non-consensual or edited. Her marketing mind turned the cri

    Ava stared at her computer screen the following afternoon. The office felt stuffier than usual. Her boss had just delivered the news that her biggest campaign was on the chopping block. Budget cuts meant her team was shrinking and she might be next. She rubbed her temples. The stress from work pile

    Ava stood in front of her closet for far too long the next evening. She had changed outfits three times already. The simple black jeans and emerald green blouse finally won. Nothing too revealing. Nothing that screamed she was trying to impress Damon Blackwood. This was supposed to be closure. A fi

    Sunlight filtered through the floor to ceiling windows of Damon’s penthouse. Ava stirred slowly. Her body ached in places she had never felt before. A pleasant soreness between her legs reminded her of the long night. She blinked against the brightness and turned her head. Damon lay beside her. His

    The drive to Damon’s penthouse passed in a haze of heated touches and stolen kisses. His fingers stayed buried between Ava’s thighs the entire time. Stroking her slowly. Teasing her swollen clit while the driver navigated the glittering Chicago streets. She bit her lip hard to stay quiet. Her pussy
