THE BILLIONAIRE'S MISTRESS: SWEET TEMPTATION CHAPTER 40
AURELIOCamille laughed again, I heard it from across the room and something in my chest pulled tight.I turned.She caught my eye at the same moment, and the laugh died on her face almost instantly, replaced with something quieter. She said something to the man across from her and he turned to look in my direction.I looked away.I picked up my glass and brought it to my mouth and kept my eyes on Simone, who was still talking, gesturing with one hand the way he always did when he got to the part of a story where he was the smartest person in the room.I nodded.My leg had started bouncing under the table without me deciding to do it, and Troy's hand came down on my knee, firm and flat, pressing it still. I didn't look at him. He didn't say anything. He just held it there until the bouncing stopped, and then he let go.Simone said something that was probably funny and I smiled at the right moment.My eyes went back to the corner.The man was still leaning forward, his elbows on the

AURELIOI crossed the room with a scowl already arranged on my face and pulled the door open, and Troy stood on the other side.His eyes moved over me once, unhurried, and then dropped, then a small side reached his face.I followed his gaze.The stain on the front of my trousers was not subtle, I realised a breath and looked back up.Troy pressed his lips together, and returned his eyes to my face, the effort he was putting into not laughing was genuinely visible."What," I said flatly."Dinner," he said."Not interested." I moved to close the door.His hand caught it. "I wouldn't have knocked if it was just dinner, Aurelio. Simone Enrique wants to meet tonight” he announced, gauging my facial reaction, when I didn't try to close the door he smiled and relaxed.“I knew you'd…”“Troy, I've got things to do, so what exactly does he want?” I asked already frustrated with him.“Apparently, he heard you were in Paris and reached out an hour ago." He held my gaze. "It's good timing, you'r

AURELIO “Stay out of my business, Troy,” I said when I finally snapped out of my silence, as I leaned back into the leather chair, he was acting like some fucking moral compass when we both knew he was no saint.“I didn’t fly all the way here for a lecture. I came to take over the company, have some fun, and go back home.”He rubbed his temples like I was giving him a migraine. “I’m only looking out for you and Camille, man.”I laughed bitterly. “Looking out for me? Please, you’re not a saint either, so stop sounding like one, Emilia was seventeen when you started fucking her all over those university halls and classrooms, you’re still together, and nobody’s hurt and we both know you're never going to be anything more than the player you are.”Troy’s jaw tightened. “Those are different scenarios, Aurelio, I wasn't eighteen years older than Emilia, and sure as hell not married.”“Fuck off,” I snapped, standing up.He sighed heavily. “I’m only trying to look out for you.” I paused at t

AURELIOThe door had barely closed before Troy turned around.I had seen that look on his face before, across boardroom tables and late night conversations and every crisis we had navigated together over fifteen years, but I had never seen all three of those expressions arrive at the same time. Disbelief, surprise and shock, sitting on his face simultaneously like he couldn't decide which one to lead with."Who is that girl outside again," he said."Her name is Camille," I said."Stop messing with me, Aurelio." He pointed at the door. "You know what I'm asking.""I'm not messing with you. Her name is Camille, that's what you asked.""Who is she to you."I looked at him steadily. "She's my woman."The room went quiet.Troy looked at me.I looked back.The silence stretched long enough that I pulled back the chair across from his desk and sat down, and still he said nothing, just stood there looking at me with that triple expression slowly solidifying into something I couldn't fully r

CAMILLECharles de Gaulle was everything I remembered and nothing like I expected.I had been to Paris once as a child, young enough that most of it lived in my memory as impressions more than details, the smell of something sweet near a market, the colour of a bridge, my mother's hand in mine on a crowded street. I had wanted to come back for years and had never found the reason or the right moment.The right moment had apparently been a Tuesday morning over breakfast in Aurelio's dining room.I pressed my face closer to the window as we descended and watched the city arrange itself below us, grey and gold in the afternoon light, the Seine cutting through it like something deliberate, and I felt that familiar feeling of excitement of waiting for something for a long time and finally having it.Aurelio was watching me from across the cabin."Put this on before we land," he said, and held out a face mask.I took it. "Why?""Reporters," he said simply. "Charles de Gaulle attracts them

AURELIOI woke up before she did.I was a light sleeper by habit, had been since my early thirties when the weight of running a company had trained me to wake at the smallest sound, but somewhere between the soup and her hand in my hair I had gone under completely and slept the kind of sleep that doesn't care what time it is.I lay still for a moment, orienting myself.The room was grey with early morning light, quiet except for the sound of her breathing, and Camille was pressed against my side with her face turned into my shoulder and one hand flat against my chest, completely and entirely asleep.I looked at her.I thought about yesterday, about how it had started, the dinner and the argument in this room and her face when she had said *I'm your mistress* with that particular steadiness that was worse than if she had shouted it. I thought about the road at two in the morning, her headlights behind my car, the fact that she had come without making me ask twice.Yesterday had starte

AURELIO Once I closed the door behind me, I felt a small hand on my chest and I turned on the lights, Camille was In front of me her hands trailing my chest.“Cool down alright” I scolded but she didn't seem to hear. She reached out for my face and I stepped back.“Just kiss me please” she begged

CAMILLEHe walked into the room and I looked up from my phone and met his stormy eyes before looking back as the messages Keisha had sent.“Camille…” he called and with everything in me I refused to look up at him.“It's fine, I'm going to leave soon” I answered instead. The bed dipped next to me a

CAMILLE ‘Dad huh?’.‘Pete isn't that old either, you could use a few years on him’ i texted back.After pulling into the estates garage, Keisha drove out again to go get some groceries and I went in alone.I got out of my clothes and took a quick shower and changed into a tube top and small shorts

CAMILLE“Camille?” His shocked voice was testament that I wasn't dreaming and Aurelio was indeed standing in front of me.“What are you doing here?” He asked, something told me he was asking to prove himself wrong because he must have already figured out that I lived here and I was Ronald Barone’s
