Loving the enemy Chapter 21
Liam’s povI didn’t think. I just moved.The moment her eyes dropped to my mouth, something raw and instinctive took over, and I closed the space between us. My lips crashed into hers—rough, hungry—and every muscle in me tightened at the feel of her.God. She tasted like heat and something sweet I couldn’t name but wanted more of.The kiss wasn’t soft or careful. It was demanding. My hand slid behind her neck, thumb brushing her jaw as I pulled her closer until her body pressed fully against mine.And that’s when it hit—my body reacting fast, hard, and impossible to ignore. The ache was sharp, almost painful, and shifting didn’t help. That kind of want didn’t fade.Because she kissed me back.Not like someone uncertain. Not like a stranger. But like she already knew me—like her mouth remembered mine. Her fists curled into my shirt, holding me tight, as if she was afraid I’d disappear if she let go.Heat tore through me. Every sound she made, every brush of her lips, dragged me deeper
Loving the enemy Chapter 20
Ava’s povI jumped when someone knocked on the door, my towel slipping before I grabbed it tighter.“Ava?” Liam’s voice came through the wood, smooth and calm. “You’ve been in there a while.”Hearing him so close made my heart race. I swallowed, holding the towel like it could protect me. My voice shook when I answered, barely loud enough.“One second.”But before I could breathe, the handle turned.“Liam—” I tried to stop him, but it was too late.The door opened, and steam rushed out into the bedroom. He stood in the doorway, tall, his shirt half-unbuttoned like he’d been getting ready for bed. His eyes went straight to me and froze there.I stood still, clutching the towel against my chest. Water slid down my skin, making me feel even more exposed.He didn’t speak right away. His eyes slowly moved from my wet hair down to my bare legs, the towel the only thing between us. The silence grew heavy, hotter than the steam around us.“You didn’t answer right away,” he finally said, his v

Ava’s povHis fingers brushed my waist, so light I felt my body tingle. Not because I didn’t want it. God, that was the problem but because I did.Too much.Liam’s eyes held mine, dark and steady, like he could read every thought I was trying to hide. “Tell me I’m wrong,” he said again, his voice low and rough, vibrating through me.I couldn’t answer. My throat felt tight, my lips parted but no sound came out. I wanted to deny him, to shove him away, to remind myself he was the man who ruined my family. But when his hand pressed firmer against my hip, when his breath touched my cheek, all I could think was how much I wanted him closer.On paper I was his wife. A lie. A fraud. But here in his arms, my body didn’t seem to care.My heart pounded so loud I was sure he could hear it. My hands twitched, aching to rise, to touch him, to pull him in.Then his eyes dropped to my mouth.The breath rushed out of me. He was going to kiss me. I wanted him to. I hated that I wanted it.Without mean
Loving the enemy Chapter 18
Liam’s povThere was something about Ava I couldn’t get out of my head.I didn’t remember her but it didn’t feel like meeting someone new. It felt like finding pieces of something I had lost—her laugh, the fire in her eyes when she teased me, the softness in her voice when she let her guard down.I knew I should be careful. But I wasn’t. I wanted her. Like gravity, pulling me closer no matter how much she tried to keep space between us.And that scared me.Because if I truly didn’t know her… why did I want her this much?After a while, I stood up from the booth. “I’ll be back in a minute,” I said with a grin. “Try not to miss me.”She rolled her eyes, but her smile gave her away.I slipped down the back hallway, nodding at the waiter as I passed. I told myself I just needed a minute—to breathe, to clear my head, to understand why being near her made me feel out of control. Maybe it was the memory loss. Maybe it was something else. After a while I felt in control.When I came back, I s

Liam’s povI should’ve been in a meeting. Contracts, numbers, decisions. My day was full of them. But the moment Ava appeared in my office, all wide eyes and that smile, the rest of the world could wait.She called it a lunch date. Maybe it was. But it felt like more than that. Like she was playing at something bigger, and I let her.Inside, everything felt different. The hostess spotted me right away—of course she did—and led us to a quiet corner booth, private but still with a clear view of the room.I let Ava slide into the booth first, watching the way she adjusted her dress and how her hair fell over her shoulders. She acted like she didn’t notice me staring, but the small curve of her lips gave her away. She knew.I sat down next to her instead of across, close enough for my arm to touch hers. Her eyes lifted to mine, surprise filled them.“You’re not going to sit across from me?” she asked softly.I leaned back, resting my arm along the back of the booth behind her. “Why would
Loving the enemy Chapter 17
Ava’s povThe elevator ride felt like it would never end. With every ding taking me closer to the top of Vance Holdings where Liam’s office was. I could feel my heartbeat but I ignored it, this is something I had to do. This morning, Liam had casually mentioned he had a noon meeting. That was all I needed,a small opening, a chance.By the time the elevator doors opened on the top floor, my palms were sweaty. The USB in my purse felt heavy, like it carried more than just files, it carried the truth. Project Phoenix. If it was connected to my family’s ruin, I had to find out.The floor was quiet, I glanced around searching for Liam’s office.“Mrs. Vance?” a voice called.I turned and saw a woman sitting behind a black desk, smiling sharply at me. Liam’s secretary. She had perfect posture, flawless nails, and watchful eyes that noticed everything.“Yes,” I said smoothly, forcing confidence into my voice. “I’m here to see Liam.”Her brow arched just slightly, polite but on alert. “He didn
