ARIA

Rowan smiled as he sat beside me. “Who's your beautiful friend?” He asked, gazing at Analide and I lustfully even with Zara beside him.

Zara lifted the bread knife and fisted her fingers around it. She was the one holding their food tray even though Rowan should have been carrying it for her.

“Who's this?” Analide asked, wrinkling her nose as she completely ignored Rowan.

I ignored him too though my heart was skipping beats as annoyance filled my eyes. “A nobody. He's a nonentity who doesn't know better than to poke his nose where his attention is not needed.”

Analide giggled. “On that note, here comes our lunch, perhaps we will eat first and continue our conversation later?”

As our waiter spread our meal on the table, I nodded. “Perfect.”

Rowan’s words exploded angrily from his throat as he held my arm suddenly. “What are you trying to do? I am your fucking husband, Aria.”

My arm hurt where he held it, but I refused to acknowledge it. I stared at Rowan distastefully. “Oh no

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    64. ANGER AND REALISATIONS

    CASPIANI couldn't remember the last time I'd felt so stupid and disappointed in myself.I saw Aria in my car mirror, sagging gently as I drove away. Maybe I shouldn't have shouted in her face.I considered going back to her, but I decided against it. I had heard her. She had said it. How could she say that to Xander and still kiss me like she couldn't have enough of my taste? I arrived at the office, leaving instructions with Analide that I would be working from home.I picked up the files I needed and left the office. When I arrived at home, my front door was already open. My butler, Patrick met me at the door. “Welcome back, Mr. Finnick. Miss Micheal is here to see you.”Talia? What the hell was she doing at my house? “Where is she?” I asked. “In the living room. She's been waiting about an hour so far.” I nodded and found Talia in the living room. She was sleeping on the couch, looking very innocent and soft. Since her suspension, this was the first time I was seeing her. I

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    63. "YOU WISH I WASN'T YOUR BEAU?"

    ARIAI felt my knees knock together as I realized Caspian was very very angry. His eyes glinted and flashed dangerously as he prowled closer. “What? You have nothing to say in your defense?” He barked at me. I wrinkled my forehead. “Why would I defend myself? I haven't done anything wrong.” Caspian’s frame towered over me as he stretched a hand and anchored them into my hair. His nails grazed my scalp and I shivered in reaction. I bit my lip, gazing up at him stubbornly. “What are you going, Caspian?” He pushed me away so that I stumbled. I barely held myself up and looked at him in shock.What the fuck was that about? “Caspian? Are you okay? Are you drunk?” I questioned, anger replacing the confusion I'd been feeling moments ago. He smiled, but his eyes were cold as ice. There was no emotion on his face. “Maybe I am. What? Would you prefer Xander to replace me in the shoot?” What was he talking about? This was the second time he had mentioned Xander. “You shoved me. I don't

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    62. BELLE DUTIES

    ARIAThe next day was the photoshoot. Like Caspian had said, I didn't have to go to work, so I spent the morning with Nylah and Lark. My mind kept rushing back to the phone call we'd had last night, and it took a deal of effort to calm myself down. I was nervous, excited, jittery and angry all at once. I didn't want to want Caspian, but it was looking like my self-control was non-existent around him. Nylah and Lark were still subdued from the confrontation with Rowan, so I allowed them to stay home from school.I assured them several times that Rowan would never take them away from me.I called Mara from home to cancel all my appointments and spent the morning taking care of myself and my babies, by doing a home spa day with skin care, manicure and pedicure.It was fun and we ended up laughing a lot and eating the nuts that Reed had bought.The first sign of trouble was when my phone rang and I saw that it was Camilla, my step-mother.Camilla barely called me, so seeing her call,

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    61. "MAYBE I LIKE THE BURN"

    ARIAI rolled onto my back, still tasting him. The salt and heat of him was still on my tongue, thick and sexy. My thighs were slick, and my body burned like it hadn’t been touched in years, which it hadn't until Caspian.The room was silent, the air in my throat heavy with the memory of Caspian’s mouth on mine. His teeth on my lip. The exact way his fingers had tugged my hair. The low, dangerous sound he made when I locked my legs around him.I exhaled hard and reached down, slipping my fingers between my thighs without hesitation. My body arched the moment I touched myself. I felt wet and ready just like earlier with him. I closed my eyes, letting the image of his mouth on my neck take over. The way he’d dragged me back into him and slammed the door shut. The way his palm cupped my ass like he owned it, his fingers working under my panties, brushing the wet heat of me and laughing softly when I moaned.I could still hear him telling me I was wet for him. I could still feel it.

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    60. WORTH FIGHTING FOR

    ARIA“Rowan, can you stop?” I cried, pulling his arms away from my children. “They're my children too, My Love. I'm only trying to protect them from this man.” Rowan said calmly, though his eyes were spitting fire.He turned to my children who were all looking worried and scared. “Hello, Nylah and Lark? “You remember Daddy, don’t you? I came to take you home.”He smiled sweetly at them, looking like a clown when the children nuzzled into Reed’s shoulders and completely ignored him as they hid their faces from him.Reed stared at Rowan distastefully. “You should leave now, Rowan Zane.” Rowan lips tightened and his fist clenched like he wished to punch Reed. “And who the hell are you to tell me what to do?” I placed my hand over his fingers and frowned. “Don't even think about it. Touch my kids and I’ll kill you.” I hissed at him.When he saw my serious expression, his fingers relaxed, but he refused to walk away. I turned to see that we were attracting attention.Why was Rowan alway

    ARIAI paced in front of the mirror, my cheeks flaming and red. I covered my face with my palm and remembered Caspian’s face as he came in my mouth.What the hell had I done? “Mom?” Lark’s voice made me open my eyes. I smiled at my son.“Yes, Lark?” I asked, realizing I had zoned out the third time in the last thirty minutes.“Nylah and I are ready.” He said, laughing when I caught him and tickled him. The kids were ready to leave. We were going to dinner with Reed. He had called to say he would pick up so I didn't have to drive with the kids in the evening.I had sent him my address. “I am ready too.” I said exuberantly though I felt none of it. What had I done? There was no explanation for it, no excuse for it either. I'd touched him and a minute later, I just knew I had to have him in my mouth, so I'd done exactly that. “Mom?” Nylah called.I blinked and looked down to find Lark and Nylah at my sides. I'd zoned out again. “Are you okay, mummy?” Nylah asked.“Yes. Let's go,”

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    58. AFTER PLEASURE

    CASPIANHer fingers kept moving over me. They were slow and teasing as they rolled over my crotch. I should've stopped her, but the look in her eyes was defiant and determined, holding me locked in place."Aria," I breathed, tightening my hand around the edge of the desk behind me, knuckles bone-white. "You don’t know what you’re doing."Her eyes lifted and she looked up. "Don’t I?"She smirked, her eyes filled with lust and without words, she lifted her hand to tie her hair up..My cock expanded. "Aria…"She dropped to her knees without another word.The sight alone almost made my knees weak. Aria Stanton the ice queen was kneeling before me.She looked up as she undid my belt, like she wanted me to feel every second of this.And I did. I could feel every damned heartbeat, and every breath.When her lips finally wrapped around me, I nearly lost my mind."Fuck, Aria."Her tongue was warm, wicked, sucking around the tip before taking more of me in. My hand went to her head out of in

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    57. SLOPPY ENCOUNTERS

    ARIACaspian was seated behind his desk with his legs spread when I stepped in.“Mr. Finnick?” I asked, sitting in front of his desk.“Lock the door behind you.” He said without looking up. I froze by the door, feeling tongue-tied and warm all at once. Caspian’s hair was rough and sticking up at some angles like he'd been running his hand through it. The effect made him look much more handsome.His jaw was clenched tight as he looked up at me, narrowing his eyes. “Lock the door, Aria. I'm sure you heard me the first time.” He snapped.I lifted my jaw and glared at him. “I'm sorry, Mr. Finnick but I don't understand why I have to lock the door.” “If you keep calling me, Mr. Finnick, then I'll show you why you should lock the damned door.” He growled, standing. I stood my ground, refusing to be cowed by his attitude. “Analide told me there was a call waiting for me from Mr. Dmitri. I don't see why I have to lock the door to answer that.” “Oh? Is that so? Is that why you hurried her

  • Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret    56. LOVE TRIANGLE?

    ARIAThe next day was a spectacular morning. Nylah and Lark were especially good, helping me pick my dress and to make breakfast.When I dropped them off at school, I made sure to kiss each of them and remind them they were the most important things in my life, second to nothing. “I love you, Nylah. I love you Lark.” I kissed them both on the noses. “I love you mom!” They chorused before running into school.When I arrived at work, I saw that Rowan’s bouquet was still in the parking lot. He hadn't left with it. I ignored it and went into my office. Mara was arranging my table. She smiled widely at my entrance and hurried to my side.“I heard what happened, Miss Stanton. You never told us you were married to Mr. Rowan!” She said exuberantly, her eyes twinkling like stars.I grunted, sitting behind my desk. “I never said that because I am not. Mr. Rowan is my ex-husband.” Mara’s eyes widened. She sat down breathlessly. “Oh, but that's even more delicious!” I groaned. “Mara?” “Yes,
