One Night And A Billionaire Obsession 96. Heavy Tides Coming In
Michael’s POVI woke up before the sun had fully risen. The house was filled with a deep sense of silence, broken only by the rhythmic, low thrum of the tide hitting the rocks below the cliff. I didn't move from where I was, pinned to the mattress, my lungs working in time with the woman sleeping beside me.Kelly was tangled in the white sheets, her body pressed firmly against my side, her head was tucked perfectly into the hollow of my shoulder. And her hair, dark and smelling of the lavender soap from the shower we took last night, was scattered across my chest. Also one of her legs was hooked over mine, keeping me anchored.I looked down at her in the glow of the early morning light, and the familiar, sharp pull of desire hit me right in the gut. This wasn't just the casual want that I usually felt, this was that constant, buzzing need that had been humming under my skin since the first day she walked into my office. Having her here, away from the city and the eyes of everyone
One Night And A Billionaire Obsession 95. The Long Way Out
Kelly’s POVThe sun hadn't quite cleared the horizon when my phone buzzed on the nightstand. The sound was loud in the silence of my studio apartment. I groaned and reached for it, expecting a reminder from my calendar or a message from Dylan.But instead, it was a text from Michael.Pack a small bag for two nights. Something casual and warm, and also something dressy. Bring it to work with you today. Trust me.I sat up slowly, the cold morning air hitting my shoulders as the sheets came down. I read the message again, and then a third time. I was a little bit confused, because Michael didn't do "surprises." I knew him as a man of logic and pre-planned schedules, so asking me to pack a bag without a destination felt like a completely different version of the man I knew.I got out of bed to get ready for work. After I took a shower, I walked over to my closet to see what I could pick from it. My closet was small, but I knew every inch of it. I pulled out one of my favorite small l
One Night And A Billionaire Obsession 94. The Quiet Game
Kelly’s POVReturning to the office after a day off felt strange, it was like stepping back into a machine that had kept running without me operating it. The lobby was just as polished as ever when I walked in. The air conditioner hummed with a low, steady vibration that I noticed. My body was tired, but in a good way. My mind, however, was a mess. I kept thinking about the event of yesterday morning and the way Hope had laughed once she got over the shock of seeing me and Michael together.I sat at my desk and tried to focus because I had a lot of catching up to do. For the first few hours, I stayed buried in emails and documents, work was a good distraction. It kept me from worrying about who might have seen Michael leave my building, or what Hope was actually thinking about my situation, although we spoke at length yesterday, but I wasn't sure she was in support of my decisions.Around eleven o’clock, I decided to check some old records of files for what I was working on. But I
One Night And A Billionaire Obsession 93. In Plain Sight
Kelly’s POVThe silence in my apartment was so heavy it felt like it was pressing against my skin. None of us moved. I was curled into a ball, clutching the white sheet against my chest so hard my knuckles were white. Michael was beside me, blinking against the morning light, his hair standing up in every direction. And then there was Hope, who was still standing by the small kitchen counter, her gym bag slipping off her shoulder and a bag of fresh bagels gripped in her hand.Her mouth was open in shock, but no sound came out. She looked at the bed, then at the clothes scattered across the rug, then back at us.I waited for the yelling, for her to be angry at me for not telling her this was going on. But instead, Hope’s shoulders started to shake, and she let out a small, breathless laugh that turned into a wide, shocked laugher.“Well,” she said, her voice full of amusement. “That certainly answers a lot of questions I had about your ‘actions’ lately.”I felt my face heat up unti
One Night And A Billionaire Obsession 92. The Door Between Us
Kelly’s POVThe ride home with Damien was quiet, although he kept occasionally glancing over at me with a small, kind smile. He had been a perfect gentleman all evening, he'd asked about my day, listened when I spoke about my parents, and he hadn't complained once when we were stuck in traffic on our way to the restaurant.But "Fine." Was the word that kept looping in my head. Dinner was fine. The conversation was fine, and being with Damian was fine.But as he pulled up to the curb in front of my apartment building, I realized that "fine" felt incredibly lonely and it wasn't what I wanted. He walked me to the front door, the cool night air brushing against us. "I really had a good time tonight, Kelly," he said, as he leaned in and gave me a gentle hug. He smelled clean, like an expensive soap, but it was a nice smell. "I did too, Damian. Thank you for tonight, and get home safely" I replied. He nodded and walked away. As I watched him walk back to his car, I felt... nothing. Ther
One Night And A Billionaire Obsession 91. A Perfect Family
Michael’s POVI stayed on the sidewalk long after the taillights of Damien’s car vanished into the city traffic. The evening air was biting, but I barely felt it, because of what I had just witnessed. Beside me, Owen and Scott were still talking about going for some late-evening drinks, but their voices sounded distant and unimportant to me at the moment.My mind was still stuck on the way the car door had closed, like a final sound that seemed to shut me out completely. Earlier Kelly hadn't looked at me with anger when she saw me standing with Owen as they spoke. Instead the expression on her face was a kind of exhaustion and distance, as if I was just another part of the office she was glad to leave behind."You coming, Michael?" Owen asked, jolting me back to the present. "No," I said, my voice sounding rough even to my own ears. "I have to get to the estate."Scott was the one who spoke as he heard what I said. “What does the old man still want?" I could see part of the same fr
