THE BILLIONAIRE SUGAR BABY Chapter 26: The Week of Tension
Xavian was in love with Vane.Nyx had known this for approximately forty eight hours after meeting him. What she didn’t know what she’d just realized in the middle of the night while lying next to a sleeping Vane was that Xavian wasn’t looking at her like a threat to his feelings. He was looking at her like a solution.He wanted them both.The realization hit her while she was swimming alone at 3 AM, which was apparently the island’s official time for dangerous thoughts. She treaded water and understood something that changed the entire dynamic: Xavian’s attraction to her had nothing to do with actually wanting her away from Vane. It had everything to do with wanting to exist in the same space as both of them simultaneously.He wanted to belong to them. Not in a submissive way. In the way that a man who’d spent his entire life loving someone he couldn’t have might want to build a different kind of family.By morning, she’d decided to use this information strategically.Breakfast happe
THE BILLIONAIRE SUGAR BABY Chapter 25: The Negotiation
Nyx found Xavian alone in the infinity pool.He was swimming like he owned it, which he definitely didn’t, but that had never stopped him from acting like he did. She watched him for exactly long enough for him to notice which was the entire point. The noticing was the seduction.She was wearing the white bikini that Margot had ordered from a designer who probably didn’t have a name because it was that exclusive. The kind of swimsuit that cost more than a car and looked like it cost nothing at all.“I was wondering when you’d show up,” Xavian said, pulling himself out of the pool.Water cascaded down his chest, and Nyx understood immediately why Vane had been friends with him. Xavian was beautiful in the specific way that made you forget about consequences. Like looking at him was a form of danger you’d willingly walk into.“I wanted to talk,” she said. “Alone.”“Vane’s going to lose his mind.”“Probably,” she agreed. “But he’s working on the Milan communications network, and that giv
THE BILLIONAIRE SUGAR BABY Chapter 24: The Arrival
He arrived by helicopter at sunset.Nyx watched from the terrace as Xavian descended like he owned the island. Because that’s what Xavian did he moved through the world like every space was designed for him, even when he was walking into someone else’s paradise.Vane’s entire body went rigid next to her.“He shouldn’t be here,” Vane said, but his voice wasn’t angry. It was something worse: it was afraid.Xavian looked exactly like he always looked. Beautiful in that careless way that came from knowing you were beautiful and not particularly caring what anyone did about it. He was wearing linen. Expensive linen, but linen, which meant he was sending a message: I’m not threatening you. I’m visiting.The lie was exquisite.“Vane,” Xavian said, embracing him like they were old friends instead of two men who’d built an empire on not trusting each other. “You look exactly like someone who’s running away successfully.”“You shouldn’t be here,” Vane repeated, but he was already hugging Xavian
THE BILLIONAIRE SUGAR BABY Chapter 23: The Information
Nyx knew exactly what she was doing when she put on the dress.Not the emerald. Not the ivory. The red one. The one that Vane had bought in Paris and she’d never worn because she was saving it for a moment when she needed him to forget how to think. This was that moment.She’d overheard his call with Xavian that morning. Heard the tension in his voice. Heard him say things like “strategic disadvantage” and “Castellano’s consolidating faster than anticipated” and the specific tone he got when he was about to make a decision that would destroy something.She couldn’t let that happen. Not yet. Not before she understood the full situation.So she used the only weapon that actually worked against a man like Vane: she made him want her more than he wanted strategy.The red dress was cut to suggestion. Not explicit. Just enough fabric to make him wonder what was underneath. Just enough movement to make him follow her across the villa without actually realizing he was following.She found him
THE BILLIONAIRE SUGAR BABY Chapter 22: The Island
The first thing Nyx did on the island was steal a golf cart.Not steal, exactly. Vane had told her she could use it. But the way she took it like she was eight years old and had just discovered that rules were suggestions made it feel like actual theft. She drove it into the villa’s infinity pool just to see what would happen.What happened: Vane laughed so hard he couldn’t breathe.“Did you just...”“Yes,” she said, already taking off her shoes. “And I’m doing it again.”The water was perfect. Obviously it was perfect. Everything on this island was designed to be perfect in ways that made you forget the Syndicate was probably hunting you across three continents.Probably.By afternoon, Margot the stylist who’d appeared like a fairy godmother had basically moved in.“Okay,” Margot said, holding up a dress that probably had its own net worth. “We need to talk about your actual life now that you’re a fugitive billionaire girlfriend.”“Is that what I am?” Nyx asked, trying on something t
THE BILLIONAIRE SUGAR BABY Chapter 21: The Escape
The dress she wore to run away cost more than most people’s cars.Black Valentino. The kind of dress that makes you feel like you’re walking through a movie of your own life. Nyx stood in front of her apartment mirror at 11:43 PM and thought about all the reasons she shouldn’t do this. Then she thought about Vane. Then she didn’t think about anything at all.She left the note because she was petty like that.I’m not running from you. I’m running toward better.Castellano would probably frame it. The Syndicate would definitely use it in their psychological profiles. And Nyx? Nyx didn’t care. She was done performing for people who’d never actually see her.The Testaccio warehouse smelled like old metal and bad decisions.Vane was already there of course he was leaning against some ridiculous luxury car like he hadn’t just liquidated half his assets and declared war on an international crime organization. He looked devastatingly unfair in his suit. Like a man who’d burned down the world
