    Calvin--Grainger swears he had no idea the Berlin office he’d been running was bleeding money for three weeks before its eventual collapse.I study him across the desk. He’s a broad man in his late forties, with thinning hair, a fleshy face, and a tie he’s loosened just enough to suggest the morning has been harder on him than he’d anticipated. Sweat glistens along his hairline. His fingers keep worrying the edge of the report in front of him.I suppose the circumstances warrant a little discomfort.Still, I can’t ignore the fact that this is partly my fault. I should have paid closer attention to the branch’s performance before things reached this point. I trusted the reports coming through headquarters and assumed the people responsible for the day-to-day operations knew what the fuck they were doing.Clearly, that was optimistic.I lift my coffee and take a sip. It’s bland, lukewarm, and about as appealing as this meeting. I set the cup aside, deciding the rest isn’t worth the ef

  • Chasing Sensations: The Billionaire's Game   38. A lovely send-off

    Ariana-The shirt goes first, followed by my shorts. I step out of them, then reach behind me to unclasp my bra, and my breasts spill like I’m presenting a gift. Finally, I push my thong down my legs and step out of it.Calvin watches me the entire time. His eyes are dark, fixed on my face. He doesn’t look down, doesn’t give me even a moment’s reprieve. He simply holds my gaze, and there’s something so intense about the way he looks at me that my knees begin to tremble.His gaze slowly drops, and I hold my breath.It’s ridiculous, really. I’m standing naked in front of Calvin Grey, a man I’ve wanted to get my hands on for longer than I’m willing to admit, and somehow it’s only now that the reality of the situation seems to catch up with me.I’m naked. In front of Calvin Grey.My arms nearly come up to cover myself. I catch the movement before it happens, folding them over my crotch.I’m not ashamed of my body. Never have been. But this is Calvin, and he’s looking at me as though he ha

  • Chasing Sensations: The Billionaire's Game   37. Take your clothes off.

    Ariana:Calvin’s hand is beneath my shirt, warm against my skin, and I have somehow ended up straddling him. His mouth has moved to my neck, and every thought in my head is fighting for its life.The heat. The need. The sheer, intoxicating pull of him.I clutch his shoulders, tipping my head to give him better access, and he takes full advantage. At this rate, there’ll be very little left between us that couldn’t get this scene classified as pornography.My bag hits the floor.I flinch, but not entirely because of that. With my head thrown back and my lips parted in breathy whimpers, my eyes land on a tiny, dark, round device mounted on the wall. It takes my brain a second to figure out what it is.A camera.Shit.My eyes frantically dart around. There are more cameras mounted in the corners of the hallway.Shit. Shit.Someone is going to have the time of their fucking life watching this footage.“Calvin...” I whisper.His mouth is still against the crook of my neck, his hand cupping

    Ariana-Several minutes of the drive pass in unbearable silence before Calvin speaks. “Your father... He’s a remarkable man.”I turn from the window, and my eyes immediately fall on the way his biceps flex as his hands remain on the wheel. The reason I’d been looking out the window in the first place.“He is,” I agree. “It’s where I get my charming personality from.”He keeps his eyes on the road, but I can tell he’s amused. “Very charming, indeed.”Oh, please!I turn away, then remember something and twist around in my seat.“So...” I trail off, noticing that my shorts have hiked up and my thighs are basically bare now. Shit. “What did you and him talk about out there? At the course? He wasn’t just telling you stories, I’m sure.”I try shifting to fix my shorts situation, but they’ve ridden up so much that there’s nothing I can do that wouldn’t call to his atten—Oh, my God. He’s already looking.A glance. A long one. Then his eyes return to my face, his expression unreadable. Gooseb

    Ariana--“In ’94, I think. No, that’s not quite right...” Dad tips his head back, trying to remember. “’94? It was in March, ’94 or ’95. My memory’s getting rusty.”He continues. “The office in Milan shut down. Too many losses, too many debts. That’s when Matteo and I realized we weren’t compatible partners.”“What happened to him?” Calvin asks.“Oh, he was fine. He always landed on his feet, that one.” Dad chuckles, turning his wineglass between his fingers. “He went back to his family in Florence. I stayed in Milan for a while, trying to salvage what I could. We didn’t speak much after that.”He pauses, looking vaguely amused by the memory.“It’s funny, really. At the time, I thought I’d lost everything. The business, most of my savings, a friend I’d known for years. I was convinced I’d never recover from it.” He takes a sip. “I did recover, eventually. Made a few good deals, took a few risks. Turns out, some of the best decisions of my life were the ones that scared me half to dea

  • Chasing Sensations: The Billionaire's Game   34. The Wrong Kind of Swing.

    —Ariana—Grey clouds stretch across the sky, muting the morning light over the resort. A cool breeze sweeps across the golf course, stirring the leaves of the trees lining the fairway. Somewhere farther down the course, a golf cart hums over the paved path.It's a beautiful Saturday morning.It's also an excellent morning for my father and Ivy to gang up on me.“That's three in a row!” Ivy announces as her ball sails across the green, landing a respectable distance from the hole.Dad lets out an appreciative whistle. “You're getting good at this, Ivy.”She turns to me with a grin that makes me regret inviting her.I glance toward the clubhouse. I could be inside enjoying a perfectly good cup of coffee. Instead, I'm on a golf course, being publicly humiliated by my best friend.“Your turn, Sunshine.” Dad holds out a club. I stare at it, then at the ball resting on the grass.I've had at least ten shots this morning, and not one has been worth repeating. Dad, however, remains determined
