Surrendering to the Billionaire 18. A War of Kings
The city lights stretched endlessly beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office, but Ethan wasn’t admiring the view. His phone sat on his desk, the screen flashing with missed calls from his legal team, his board members, and the few allies he had left.Adrian Black had moved faster than anyone had expected. In less than twenty-four hours, two of Ethan’s biggest investors had been absorbed into Black Enterprises. His stocks had plummeted, and whispers of instability were already circulating in the business world.Ethan’s fingers tightened around the crystal tumbler of whiskey in his hand. This wasn’t just a setback. This was a direct attack. And Adrian was playing for blood.A knock at his office door broke through his thoughts. Before he could answer, Sophie sauntered in, her designer dress clinging to every curve, her smirk as confident as ever."You look stressed," she purred, setting her clutch down on his desk.Ethan exhaled sharply, setting his drink down with a little too

The city never slept, but tonight, it felt like it was holding its breath. The weight of the tablet in Adrian’s hand was insignificant compared to the weight of the words flashing across the screen.ETHAN CAVENDISH LEAKS DAMAGING FILES ON ADRIAN BLACK — QUESTIONS ARISE ABOUT HIS BUSINESS DEALINGS.ETHAN CAVENDISH ACCUSES ADRIAN BLACK OF FRAUDULENT BUSINESS DEALINGS — INVESTORS ON EDGE.BLACK ENTERPRISES UNDER FIRE: COULD THE KING FINALLY FALL?The news headline burned into his mind, but it wasn’t the words that angered him. It was the audacity.He smirked, shaking his head. Ethan was playing dirty, but it wasn’t unexpected. What was surprising was how quickly the media had latched onto it. Ethan had managed to make it look convincing, just enough to stir doubt in the minds of those who mattered.A calculated move. But Ethan had underestimated something crucial. Adrian wasn’t a man who played defense. He played to win.A heavy silence settled in the penthouse. Amelia stood beside Adria

The morning sun did nothing to soften the storm brewing inside Adrian Black’s empire. The city was a battlefield.Ethan Cavendish thought he had played his final card, thought he had cornered Adrian Black, but Adrian wasn’t the kind of man who played fair. He didn’t just win, he obliterated his enemies.Amelia’s hands clenched into fists. She should have expected this. Ethan wasn’t the type to go down without dragging others into the fire with him. But exposing their past now? He was desperate.Adrian stood across from her, dressed in a crisp black suit, exuding power even in the face of chaos. His jaw was set, his stormy gray eyes unreadable as he scrolled through his phone.Celeste st

“You’re mine,” Adrian murmured against her lips. “And I don’t share.”Amelia’s fingers tangled in his hair, her body melting into him. “Then prove it.”Adrian's grip tightened around Amelia's waist, his fingers digging into the soft fabric of her dress as he deepened the kiss. His tongue swept into her mouth, claiming every inch of her with a ferocity that left her breathless. She could taste the whiskey on his lips, the heady scent of victory and desire mingling in the air.He backed her up against the desk, his hands roaming over her body with a possessive hunger. She could feel the hard length of him pressing against her, the evidence of his need for her unmistakable. Her own body responded in kind, a throbbing ache bu

The golden morning light seeped through the sheer curtains of Adrian’s penthouse, casting long, soft shadows across the bedroom. The scent of freshly brewed coffee lingered in the air, mingling with the faint traces of last night’s passion.Amelia stretched lazily beneath the silk sheets, her body still deliciously sore from the night before. The warmth beside her was missing, though the scent of Adrian’s cologne still lingered in the air. She exhaled, rubbing the sleep from her eyes before rolling onto her side, only to find a small white envelope resting on Adrian’s pillow.Her brows furrowed as she picked it up. A neatly folded handwritten note slipped out."Good morning, sweetheart. I had an early meeting, but I expect you to still be in my bed wh

The invitation had arrived that morning, a high-profile business gala, hosted by one of the biggest financial moguls in the city. Adrian, of course, had no intention of missing it. And apparently, neither did Amelia.She wasn’t sure if she had agreed to attend out of curiosity or because the idea of Adrian being there without her made her stomach twist in ways she didn’t want to examine too closely.Now, standing in front of the mirror in the lavish penthouse bedroom, Amelia adjusted the delicate straps of her midnight-blue silk gown. The dress clung to her curves in all the right places, the high slit offering just the right amount of temptation. The dress had been Adrian’s choice, delivered to her suite with a simple note: Wear this. And nothing underneath.

The second they got back to the penthouse, Amelia pushed him against the wall, her lips crashing against his. Adrian groaned in surprise but quickly recovered, his hands finding her hips and squeezing hard."Impatient, are we?" he teased against her lips."Shut up," she muttered, reaching for his tie and yanking it free."You hated watching her touch me," he murmured against her lips.Amelia moaned as he lifted her effortlessly, pressing her against the cool glass window overlooking the city. "I hated that she thought she could."Adrian growled, his teeth grazing her throat. "You should have told me to fuck her off."

"Mmm, you taste even better than I imagined," Adrian groaned, diving back in for another deep taste.His hands gripped Amelia’s hips, holding her steady as he began to eat her out like a starving man. His tongue delved between her folds, stroking and teasing her most sensitive spots with practiced ease.Amelia could only hold on for dear life, her knuckles turning white as she gripped the couch tightly. Adrian stood up abruptly, pulling Amelia to her feet. He grabbed her hand, interlacing their fingers, and led her towards the bedroom. Each step was deliberate, purposeful, fueled by the intense desire that consumed both of them.They reached the bed, the headboard slamming against the wall with each labored breath. Adrian stepped back, letting go of Amelia's hand, only

Surrendering to the Billionaire 82. Velvet Chains and Silk Sheets
The morning light broke too early. Amelia woke tangled in Adrian’s arms, his skin warm against hers, his breath steady, even as the weight of the world coiled tighter around them. The ache between her thighs was a raw, exquisite reminder of the night before. Last night hadn’t been soft.For one suspended moment, it felt like none of it was real — the photos, the headlines, the threats. Just his body curved around hers like armor. But then her phone buzzed. Again. She reached for her phone and flinched, more missed calls. Notifications, emails. Headlines she didn’t dare read.Adrian stirred, pressing a kiss to the top of her shoulder. “Don’t,” he murmured. “Not yet.”She nodded against his chest, her voice husky. &ld
Surrendering to the Billionaire 81. Wolves in Silk
Christian Christian didn’t stand when Adrian entered the office. He remained seated, legs casually crossed, fingers steepled under his chin, one arm draped over the back of the chair like it was a throne, looking for all the world like a king surveying his stolen throne. His dark suit was perfectly tailored, his tie casually loose like he had better places to be but chose this for the thrill, his expression unreadable behind the kind of smile that didn’t touch his eyes.Adrian stopped just inside the doorway, one hand on the edge of the glass desk. Amelia stood just behind Adrian, her posture tense, instincts prickling.“Christian.” Adrian said coolly, stepping inside. “Didn’t realize we were taking visitors this early.”Christ
Surrendering to the Billionaire 80. Homecoming, with Consequences
The city greeted them like a sharp intake of breath, brisk, fast, and unrelenting. The city felt colder than she remembered. Gone were the soft rustle of palm trees and the endless lull of ocean waves. In their place horns, high heels clacking against pavement, and a skyline that blinked with a thousand ambitions.It wasn’t just the weather—though it was gray and damp, a soft drizzle peppering the windshield as the car glided down the familiar road that led to Adrian’s penthouse. No, it was something else. The way the skyline looked more steel than silver. The way the buildings rose like jagged teeth rather than shimmering towers.Amelia rested her forehead against the cool glass of the car window, watching raindrops chase each other down the pane.Vaca
Surrendering to the Billionaire 79. Skin on Fire
Adrian gently laid Amelia down on the plush blanket he had spread out on the sand. The cool night air and distant sound of waves provided a sensual backdrop as he gazed upon her beauty in the moonlight. His dark eyes smoldered with barely restrained desire as they roamed over her curves, taking in every detail.His hands slowly roamed her curves, caressing every inch of exposed skin as he undressed her piece by piece with aching tenderness. Amelia shivered under his touch, relishing the feel of his fingers igniting flames across her body. She arched into him, desperate for more."Adrian," she sighed, reaching for him.Their lips met in a deep, hungry kiss that spoke volumes of their longing for one another. Tongues twined and danced as their passion grew hotter. Adrian
Surrendering to the Billionaire 78. One Last Sunrise
The last morning on the island came wrapped in golden hush, in a kind of silence that made everything feel heavier. Not sad, not quite, not yet. But something lingered in the air, something that felt like goodbye.Amelia stirred before the sun did. She heard the sound of waves, slow and rhythmic against the shore. The breeze, warmer now with summer’s edge, drifted in through the open terrace doors, rustling the white curtains and brushing across the bare skin of her arms.She reached across the bed, instinctively searching for warmth—but found only crumpled sheets. She blinked, eyes adjusting to the soft morning glow. Adrian wasn’t beside her. His presence was everywhere, the scent of his cologne faint on the pillow, the imprint of his body in the mattress, the echo of his voice from last night, whispering pro
Surrendering to the Billionaire 77. Tangled in Sunsets and Temptation
The morning after felt like silk unfolded slowly, like molasses dripping under the golden spill of coastal light.Golden light streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Adrian’s villa, catching on the fluttering curtains and dancing across the bed where Amelia lay wrapped in one of Adrian’s T-shirts and an oversized comforter. Her body was still humming from the way Adrian had kissed her last night, from the way he’d held her like she was something precious, not fragile, but irreplaceable.Adrian had gotten up early, but not before pressing a kiss to her temple and murmuring something about coming back with breakfast. She wasn’t entirely convinced that there hadn't been a bribe to stop her from demanding more rounds last night.She blinke
Surrendering to the Billionaire 76. Wild Hearts, Reckless Hands
The ocean sparkled under the late-morning sun, a blinding expanse of endless blue stretching toward the horizon. The air was humid and salted, the sky painted in strokes of blue and gold as early afternoon pressed into view.On the private beach nestled below Adrian’s coastal villa, paradise looked like a postcard. Amelia, however, was not feeling particularly zen. Especially not when Adrian revved the engine of the jet ski and sent them flying across a wave that could’ve launched them straight into orbit.Adrian turned, smirking over his shoulder. “Ready, sweetheart?”Amelia stood on the dock, squinting into the sunlight. Her hair was up in a messy ponytail, oversized sunglasses perched on her nose, and a bright coral bikini peeking through the open
Surrendering to the Billionaire 75. The Way He Holds Me
The moment Adrian’s lips crashed into hers, the world fell away. The air between them was thick with heat and longing, heavy enough to drown in.The storm outside faded into a distant hum, nothing but white noise compared to the thunder in Amelia’s chest. He kissed her like she was the only thing tethering him to reality, like the craving for her was so deep it had carved a permanent space in his soul. His mouth moved with a hunger that contradicted the slow burn simmering just beneath the surface.She responded just as fiercely.There was no rush to undress. No frantic fumbling. Just the fevered, maddening art of holding back of tasting, teasing, testing the limits of restraint.Adrian broke the kiss bu
Surrendering to the Billionaire 74. Marooned with a Madman
The morning arrived with a storm, rolling in from the sea with an ominous rumble of thunder. Sheets of rain battered against the floor-to-ceiling windows of the villa, the wind howling like a restless beast. The sky was dark, casting an eerie glow over the room, but inside, cocooned beneath the thick covers, Amelia felt nothing but warmth. The sky outside was a deep shade of gray, casting the bedroom in a muted, dreamlike light. It was the kind of morning that begged for laziness, for tangled sheets and whispered words.She stirred against Adrian’s chest, her bare skin brushing against his. He was awake, his arm lazily draped around her waist, fingers tracing slow, idle circles on her hip. Even in sleep, he was possessive. Even in a storm, he was in control.Amelia sighed, her lips brushing against his collarbone. “It&rsq
