Chapter 52

Riley stood in the middle of the quiet living room with her warm coffee cup held between both hands, and she just stared out at the clean lines of her new kitchen counters while the morning light poured through the big glass window.

On the far wall, her eyes caught the bright crayon drawings that Iris had taped crookedly along the paint on their very first night because her daughter had insisted, with all the stubbornness in her little body, that a house could never be a real home

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S BIGGEST REGRET: Losing His Plus-size Ex   I LIKE YOU

    Chapter 78By the time Riley woke up the next morning, she found herself tightly wrapped around Ashton's arm.A big smile appeared on her face as memories of last night flooded her mind.The previous night was perfect...Ashton hadn't let her sleep a wink. His hands didn't leave her thick thighs, he was completely obsessed with her body. He wouldn't stop kissing her and telling her how obsessed he was with her until every single doubt she had simply disappeared.She felt him move beside her, and she closed her eyes immediately. She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt self-conscious."Good morning, sweetheart," she heard him say softly.He leaned down and kissed her forehead, then her lips. His hand moved over her body again, sending a warm spark straight through her that turned her on immediately.She let out a soft moan that she hadn't planned.A light laugh escaped his chest, and that was when she realized he had done that on purpose...he knew she wasn't actually sleeping.She hi

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S BIGGEST REGRET: Losing His Plus-size Ex   THIS WAS BEYOND PERFECT

    Chapter 77The kiss didn’t carry the desperate, sharp hunger of their first one on the sofa. It was slow, deliberate, and so heavy that Riley felt her knees go soft the second his lips touched hers.Ashton’s hand moved from her forehead to cup the side of her neck, his thumb tracing the quick, erratic jump of her pulse. He stepped forward, pushing her gently backward into the room, and used his foot to nudge the bedroom door shut until the latch clicked softly into place, sealing them in the warm, dim space.Riley reached up, her fingers sliding into the collar of his shirt, tugging him closer until there wasn't a breath of air between them. Ashton let out a low, rough exhale against her mouth, his other arm wrapping around her waist, pulling her flush against his chest.When he finally pulled back to catch his breath, his forehead rested against hers, his eyes dark and burning with an intensity that made her skin prickle."Riley," he whispered, his voice thick, gravelly, and barely

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S BIGGEST REGRET: Losing His Plus-size Ex   I'LL SHOW YOU

    Chapter 76Ashton pulled back at once, clearing his throat, though the smile didn't fully leave his face. "No, sweetheart," he called up the stairs, his voice warm and easy again. "We're not fighting. Come on down."Iris appeared a moment later at the top of the stairs, hair mussed from her nap, dragging her blanket behind her like a cape. She squinted down at them both with the particular suspicion of a child who'd caught the tail end of something she didn't fully understand."You sure?" she asked. "Your voices sounded serious.""Just grown-up talk," Riley said, holding out her arms. "Come here."Iris padded down the stairs and climbed straight into her lap, still half-wrapped in her blanket, burrowing into Riley's shoulder with a yawn. "Can we stay for dinner?" She mumbled into Riley's collarbone. "I want to see the kitchen work. Uncle Ashton said he'd teach me how to make pasta from scratch.""Did he now," Riley said, glancing over at him."I did say that," Ashton admitted, alrea

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S BIGGEST REGRET: Losing His Plus-size Ex   ARE YOU FIGHTING?

    Chapter 75Books lined every wall, shelves built custom to fit the space exactly. A soft reading chair sat tucked into the corner near the window, a blanket thrown over the arm like it was waiting for someone to use it. A small writing desk stood against the far wall, and on it sat a stack of scripts, neatly squared, a laptop closed beside them, and a framed corkboard above it already pinned with a printed call sheet from her first day of shooting.Riley stood frozen in the doorway, taking it all in piece by piece, unable to make her mouth work."You told me once," Ashton said quietly, from just behind her shoulder, "that you used to want to write. You said you'd fill notebooks with scenes nobody would ever read, just to have somewhere to put everything you were feeling.""I don't even remember telling you that," Riley whispered."You told me the summer before the wedding," he said. "I remembered. I've remembered a lot of things, Riley, even the years I spent trying not to."She walk

    Chapter 74The days that followed slipped into an easy rhythm neither of them commented on out loud, though both of them noticed it. Ashton came by most evenings, sometimes with takeout, sometimes with nothing but himself and a tie already loosened from twelve hours on his feet, and Riley stopped pretending she wasn't waiting for the sound of his key in the lock.It was on one of those evenings, Iris curled between them on the couch working her way through a bowl of grapes, that Ashton finally said the words Riley had been half-afraid, half-hoping to hear."Her labs came back clean today," he said, watching Iris instead of Riley as he said it, like he wanted her to hear it too. "Kidney function is stable, the heart's holding steady post-transplant. I think we can start talking about school again." Riley's breath caught. "Really?""Not tomorrow," Ashton said, holding up a hand before Iris could get too excited. "A few more weeks. Her body's still catching up from everything it went

    Chapter 73 His hand slid up along her spine, fingers spreading warm against her back, and Riley felt the low hum of his breath catch when she pressed closer, her fingers curling into the front of his shirt. His mouth moved slow against hers, unhurried despite everything simmering underneath it, like he had every intention of taking his time now that he finally had the chance.When she finally caught herself, the reality of it catching up all at once, she pulled back slowly, her lips still faintly buzzing, though she didn't manage to put any real distance between them. She stayed exactly where she'd landed, perched on his lap, her hands still loosely fisted in his shirt.Their foreheads rested together. Neither of them said anything for a moment, just breathing hard, like they'd both run a race and only now realized it."I've missed this," Ashton said finally, breaking the silence, his voice low and rough."Same here," she admitted, and the honesty of it surprised her almost as much

    Chapter 5Riley didn't hesitate. The woman who had fiercely slapped him the night before disappeared under the crushing weight of a mother’s desperation. Slowly, agonizingly, she lowered her battered, aching body onto the gravel driveway, her knees digging into the sharp stones right beside his dr

    Chapter 3The moment they stepped out the front door, a sudden, loud crack of thunder shook the whole sky.The clouds burst, and a massive downpour slammed into the ground. The rain fell in heavy, blinding sheets, completely soaking the perfect, neat driveway.Iris gasped, shivering from the biting

    Chapter 1“Mom, are you really sure he’s going to show up?” Iris’s voice had a hollow, heavy ache that no ten-year-old should ever have to carry. As Riley ran the brush through her daughter's dark curls, the strands slipped from her fingers. Today was Iris's golden birthday, a day that should ha
