LOGINBelleI’d waited for what felt like an hour. As I got up from the bed, about to leave, he came in. I rushed to him, then paused a few feet away from him.His hands were in his pockets as he leaned against the door, watching me.“Say something. Please.”He didn’t.The hardened look on his face chilled me to my bones. My body tensed. I wondered what he was going to do. Our gazes locked for what felt like a couple of minutes, but he did nothing. His eyes were cold. The desire I’d grown used to seeing when he looked at me was completely gone. The James I knew would have grabbed me the second he came in, wasting not even a second. He’d have me naked, his lips all over me. Yet, here he stood like he didn’t find me attractive anymore. But his insatiable desire for me couldn’t have just disappeared because of one stupid kiss. And I was going to make him see that.I walked further into the room, my hands trembling. I opened the drawers. “Perhaps you’d like to start with the cuffs?”He didn’t b
Belle“How dare you?” James growled, moving past me and charging at Devon immediately. He gripped him by the neck and slammed him to the floor with such enormous power, like Devon weighed nothing.My jaw dropped in shock. I couldn’t move. All I did was watch the rage in his eyes as he landed the first punch on Devon. Then another. Blood spilled from his mouth immediately.God.I finally found my voice.“James! Stop!”He paused and looked at me. But the fury in his eyes terrified me. My mouth shut itself and I stepped back.Then he turned back to Devon.“Please, sir. Whatever I did, I’m sorry.”“You play dumb? You don’t know what you did?” He punched him again. “What did I say about you fucking touching her?” He punched him again.“I… I’m so sorry, sir. Please. Please, sir. I swear I’ll never come back here.”“Of course you won’t.” He grabbed his neck. “I’ll fucking knock you out.”“No… no… no, sir.” Devon begged, unable to fight back.“You had no right to touch her.” James hit him ag
Belle “Belle… you look beautiful.” Sam was surprised to see me dressed so elegantly. He dumped me because I wasn’t a billionaire heiress like Tania. Now I looked just as refined, and he couldn’t deny that I was hard to resist. And it was all thanks to James. I lifted my chin, confident, nothing like the girl I used to be when we were together. He looked at me like he was actually blown away by me. Good. Let him stare at what he lost. My gaze held his as his eyes trailed down my dress, hugging my body in all the right places. Tania rolled her eyes, clearing her throat. “Belle, you already know my man, Sam.” She grabbed his hand. “Lucky me. He’s all mine.” They walked to the dining table. Dinner started, but Sam kept staring at me like he was about to ask me out all over again. I tried not to look at him. “How have you been, Belle?” “Good.” I kept it brief. “I’ve missed hanging out with you, you know. You look amazing.” He smiled, trying to flatter me. “Don’t you
Belle I opened my eyes, stretching my arms, expecting to feel James beside me. The bed was empty. I frowned, disappointed. He’d done it again. He’d left me alone. It was seven in the morning. I jumped out of bed. I dashed into the shower, washed quickly, then dried off and grabbed my clothes. A black blouse, an ash jacket, a skirt, and a pair of tights to wear underneath. I dressed fast and rushed out. Thomas was waiting for me outside the house. “Good morning, Miss Belle.” I looked back at the house. No sign of James. His car was still there, so he was at home. I fought the urge to go back inside and look for him. “Good morning, Mr. Thomas.” I gave a brief smile. “Have you seen Mr. Wilder today?” “Yes, ma’am. He left for the airport this morning.” “Airport?” I exclaimed. “But… his car is right here.” I pointed to it. He chuckled. “Ma’am, Mr. Wilder has several cars. He decided to leave in his red Ferrari today.” I swallowed hard. “Why… why did he leave for
James “Strip.” Her hands trembled as they moved to the zipper of her dress. She hesitated. I stepped closer. “Now, Belle.” She pulled the zipper down and the dress fell to the floor. She stood there in her underwear, her chest rising and falling fast. I walked around her slowly, appreciating the body that had driven me wild every single day since I laid eyes on her. My God, she was a goddamn goddess. “All of it.” Her breath caught. She reached behind and unhooked her bra. It dropped. Then she slid her panties down. She was completely bare before me. Her body was a sight I could behold for as long as I lived. She was perfect for me. How had I survived all these years without her? She was the woman I needed. The one I wanted. I wasn’t going to let myself grow weak, but I wasn’t going to live in denial either. If I had met her instead of Angelina, our lives would have been different. Then again, that was impossible. She was Tania’s age, and I was far older than her. W
James Why the bloody hell was Devon standing next to my woman?I was boiling inside, forcing myself not to punch him in the gut for hugging her.I shot Belle a warning look. She moved closer to me immediately.“Devon, thanks for today. I’ll see you tomorrow.” Devon gave a short nod. “Good night, Belle. Good night, Mr. Wilder.” He gave a polite bow and walked toward his car.My attention shifted back to Belle.“What did I say about staying away from Devon?”Her shoulders lifted slightly. “He helped me with the flowers. We took them to a hospital. The patients were so happy. The whole place felt brighter. I’m glad we did it.”Her face lit up as she talked.I watched her.I could send her a thousand flowers every day just to make her smile like that. She was so lovable in every way. If I were ever to give love a chance, it would only be with her.Fuck. Get a grip, James.I forced the thought away. “Belle, that’s still not an excuse.”Her smile faded.“I told you to stay away from him
Belle “Am I?” His hand came up to my face, his thumb brushing my bottom lip. “Did you enjoy his attention? Did you like him looking at you like that?”“No.” My breathing quickened. “We’re just friends, James. He doesn't move me like that.”“Good.” His other hand gripped my hip possessively. “Becau
JamesShe exhaled slowly, trying to hide how my words affected her. “After your ex-wife, what happened?”“I built a company and raised my daughter,” I exhaled. “I tried to find her, but it was like she’d vanished. No care for me, not even her own daughter. She never returned.” I shook my head. “I f
BelleMy heart beat faster, wondering if he already knew that I had seduced him to get back at Tania.“You stalked me on every social media.” He hissed through his teeth. “Very bad, sweet Fox.”“Oh… that.” I sighed in relief. Thank God. My secret was still safe.“Starting from now, I’ll be monitori
BelleIt was 7 a.m. Tania was still asleep, but then again, she had special privileges from Miss Amelia. Her dad owned the company, after all.Crap. I woke up late.I rushed into the shower, letting the hot water fall over my skin, trying to wake myself up properly. I had barely slept after last ni
