last update publish date: 2026-08-26 16:07:20

ANDREA’S POV

I opened my eyes to soft morning light filtering through the sheer curtains of the Paris suite and the first thing that registered was the heavy solid warmth of Ryder’s body still pressed against my back. My body felt loose and thoroughly used in the best possible way as every muscle carried the pleasant ache from the hours we spent tangled together the night before. I stayed still for a long moment and let the memories replay in slow vivid detail while his steady breathing continu

  • THE ROSE TATTOO, The Billionaire Secret Heir   Chapter 58: Shadows By The Water

    RYDER’S POVI kept my hand locked around Andrea’s as we moved along the sidewalk and the macaron box stayed pressed against her side. Her steps had turned shorter than before and her head kept tilting just enough to check the people behind us. She never said a word about it yet the tightness in her shoulders told me something still sat wrong with her.I started watching the crowd the same way she did. Faces passed on both sides and most of them stayed ordinary. Then I caught the same man twice in the space of one block. He walked a little too close for a stranger and one hand stayed buried deep in his jacket pocket the entire time. The other hand swung free but the hidden one never moved. His path matched ours almost step for step.Andrea’s fingers squeezed mine once without looking up. I guided us closer to a shop window so I could use the reflection. The man adjusted his pace and stayed with us. My pulse climbed. In a crowded stretch like this a hidden hand could mean anything sharp

  • THE ROSE TATTOO, The Billionaire Secret Heir   Chapter 57: Paris Streets

    ANDREA’S POVWe stepped out of the resort doors into the bright Paris sunlight and the noise of the street wrapped around us at once. Ryder kept my arm linked through his as we turned left toward the river and the steady flow of people moved past us on both sides. The air carried the scent of fresh bread from a nearby bakery mixed with the faint exhaust of passing cars and the warmer smell of the sun on stone.“Where to first?” he asked as he glanced down at me. “Anywhere that is not the lobby,” I said and gave his arm a small squeeze. “I want to walk and see everything without looking over my shoulder.” He nodded and adjusted his pace to match mine as we crossed the first intersection. The sidewalk widened near the water, the view opened up to the Seine with its slow boats and the bridges stretching across in both directions. I stopped at the railing for a moment and leaned forward to watch a long tourist boat slide underneath us. Ryder stood behind me with both hands resting light

  • THE ROSE TATTOO, The Billionaire Secret Heir   Chapter 56: Drawing The line

    RYDER’S POVI stood up so fast the unfinished jeans nearly slipped from my hips as the name Elena landed like a slap. Surprise and anger collided hard in my chest because there was no reason on earth for her to be at this resort. The honeymoon location had been a complete surprise from the start. I told no one, not even the office staff, and the private jet manifests stayed sealed under my own name. How the hell did she track us here? “I had no idea she would be here,” I said, my voice tight as I fastened the jeans properly and reached for a clean shirt. “I did not tell a single person where we were going. This whole trip was meant to stay private.” Andrea’s arms stayed crossed tight over her chest and her eyes stayed hard on mine. “This is my honeymoon, Ryder Santos. I deserve to spend it without worrying about the bitch who destroyed her own marriage five years ago and now thinks she can waltz back in like nothing happened. I do not know what you are going to do about it, but I w

    ANDREA’S POVI opened my eyes to soft morning light filtering through the sheer curtains of the Paris suite and the first thing that registered was the heavy solid warmth of Ryder’s body still pressed against my back. My body felt loose and thoroughly used in the best possible way as every muscle carried the pleasant ache from the hours we spent tangled together the night before. I stayed still for a long moment and let the memories replay in slow vivid detail while his steady breathing continued against the nape of my neck.The man looked almost unfairly handsome in sleep with his dark hair mussed against the pillow and the sharp lines of his face softened by rest. The sheet had slipped down to his waist and left the hard planes of his chest and stomach bare while one strong arm stayed draped over my hip. I remembered the way those same hands had held me open and the deep groans that left his throat every time I clenched around him and the absolute mind blanking intensity of each or

  • THE ROSE TATTOO, The Billionaire Secret Heir   Chapter 54: Deep Claim

    RYDER’S POVI stayed buried to the hilt inside her as her tight heat gripped every inch of my cock and her legs locked around my waist to pull me even deeper. Her inner walls fluttered around me in a rhythmic squeeze that forced a low groan from my chest, I braced both hands on the mattress beside her head while I fought the urge to move too fast. Andrea’s breath came in short pants against my neck as her nails dug into my shoulders and the soft sound of my name slipped past her lips in a needy moan that shot straight through me.I pulled back slowly until only the thick head of my cock remained inside her, then I pushed forward again with a steady roll of my hips that seated me fully once more. The wet heat of her pussy swallowed me completely, the friction dragged another groan from my throat as I set a deliberate rhythm of long deep thrusts that made the bed shift beneath us. Each time I drove back in her body arched to meet me and a broken moan escaped her that grew louder with

  • THE ROSE TATTOO, The Billionaire Secret Heir   Chapter 53: Elevator Fire

    ANDREA’S POVThe elevator doors closed with a soft chime, Ryder’s mouth claimed mine in a hard urgent kiss that stole every thought from my head. His hands framed my face, holding me steady as his tongue swept past my lips and tangled with mine in a rhythm that matched the rapid climb of the numbers on the panel. I gripped the front of his shirt, pulling him closer until the solid wall of his chest pressed against my breasts and the hard ridge of his cock dug into my lower belly through the thin fabric of my dress. The car rose steadily, neither of us pulled away even when the soft ding announced our floor. The doors slid open, he walked me backward into the hallway without breaking the kiss, his hands dropping to my waist and guiding me with firm pressure. We reached the suite door, he fumbled the keycard against the lock while my teeth nipped at his lower lip and drew a rough sound from his throat. The door swung open as we stumbled inside, slamming it shut behind us. The quiet o

    ANDREA’S POVThe smell of coffee nearly killed me. One moment, I was sitting at the kitchen counter with my laptop open in front of me, pretending to answer emails while secretly staring at Marcus and Riley’s pre-wedding photos on Instagram. The next, my stomach twisted so violently that I shot out

  • THE ROSE TATTOO, The Billionaire Secret Heir   Chapter 03: Used

    RYDER’S POVI woke to silence and an empty bed. Sunlight cut through the half-open curtains and landed on the rumpled sheets where Andrea had slept. I reached out instinctively. Cold. She had been gone for a while. I sat up slowly, my head clear despite the whiskey from last night. Every detail rem

    ANDREA’S POV “Come with me,” he whispered as he led me through the throbbing crowd, his fingers locked tight with mine. The bass vibrated through my bones, but all I could focus on was the heat pouring off his tall frame and the slick ache building between my thighs. We pushed past grinding bodie

  • THE ROSE TATTOO, The Billionaire Secret Heir   Chapter 01: Shattered Candles

    ANDREA’S POV I stood in front of the mirror in the small apartment I shared with Marcus, smoothing down the emerald green dress that hugged my curves. The fabric shimmered under the warm light, and I turned slowly, checking the back one more time. Tonight marked four years with him. Four years of
