Alex knew something was wrong almost immediately Skylar opened the door to him. First was the fake smile she plastered on her face, and second, was her lukewarm response to his kiss which hadn't been so in a while.“You look radiant.” He complimented, hoping for a more tangible reaction.“Thanks.” She answered simply as she ushered him, and his unease shot up immediately.He told himself he was just overreacting as he followed her inside, but the response of everyone else as soon as he said hi was very telling.“Hi.” All three–Skylar's mum, her sister and Laura– said back.He was more surprised by Emily's reaction because normally she would say more than that and try to engage him in an animated conversation that would almost make him forget about Skylar's presence.Turning to Skylar, he asked quietly, “Is everything alright, babe?”Instead of answering, she looked towards her family in a wordless request, and without a word, they all began making their way out of the living room.Aft

The blaring sound of her alarm jolted Skylar awake. Not ready to get out of bed, she reached out and slapped it to shut it up. The alarm usually rang again after a thirty minute silence but it felt like only a minute before she was being jolted awake.Glaring at the offending device, she finally forced herself to sit up on the bed before she could be tempted to disobey its wake-up call. It was six o'clock now. She had to get ready for breakfast and work. Groaning, she carried herself out of bed and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and take a shower. Afterwards, she changed into casual clothes and headed out of the bedroom.Laura was already up so they prepared breakfast together. Just as they finished setting up the table, the doorbell rang. It was still early in the morning and that made Skylar grimace as she went to get it.Her heart leaped when she found Luca on her porch looking devilishly handsome in a body-fitting grey suit, a new, fitting haircut, and a well-trimmed lig
Taming My Hot Personal Assistant •109•He's Not Worth It
Alex rushed out of his bathroom, quickly making his way over to his closet. He cursed softly under his breath when he looked towards his wall clock. He'd only meant to nap for an hour after the exhausting day he'd spent running errands for his father but an hour's nap had turned into three in what seemed like a twinkle of an eye. He was definitely going to be an hour late picking Skylar up for their date.A smile split his face as he thought of the woman who so had his heart, a thrill shooting through him. It didn't matter how many dates they went on, spending some time alone with Skylar was something he always relished, and he always found himself looking forward to it.More so in the past two weeks.He stiffened, realizing he was about to allow that bastard to penetrate his mind again.It'd been two weeks. Two fucking weeks of having to tolerate that guy's very intruding presence in Skylar's life and his.

Skylar finally understood the meaning of loud silence, because the silence that settled over the room after her answer was so deafening that she couldn't hear anything else. Not even her own breathing. Until Luca exploded.“Are you crazy, Skylar? Are you out of your goddamn mind? Do you want to stop loving me so badly that you'll agree to marry someone you have no fucking feelings for?”She knew he was right; she was going out of her mind. She should be retracing, eating back her words, or at least trying to maneuver her way out of the hole she was digging herself into, but Luca's anger and his certainty of her love for him only served to fuel her own irritation.“Don't fucking tell me what I feel or don't feel!” She sneered. “Contrary to what you believe, my life does not revolve around you, Luca. If I will, I'll get married to Alex because I fucking love him!”Luca stared at her in stunned silence before an infuriating laughter burst out of him. “Tell me, Skylar. How ridiculous do yo

“Is Mr. Knight inside?” Skylar asked, stepping in front of Luca's secretary's desk.“Oh yes." The young woman beamed. “I think he's been expecting you. He told me to inform him if you stop by even if he's in a meeting. Luckily, he's not in a meeting now, so you can go in, Miss Simpson.”‘Luckily', Skylar thought wryly as she thanked the secretary and proceeded to knock Luca's door. For whatever reason, she was nervous about having to discuss the new arrangement with Luca.She opened the door and stepped inside, closing it behind her. Their eyes met and locked, eliciting a vibrant buzz of awareness through her veins she had to strive hard to not let show.It didn't take very long for the staring contest to unnerve her even further, and she cleared her throat, letting him win by looking away.“I'm here to talk about the new arrangement.” She said.He quirked a brow. “Do you intend to stand through it? Please sit down, Skylar.”She shook her head. “I'd rather not. This won't take long any

Skylar knew she shouldn't even be surprised, but she was surprised. And she was shocked.For a long moment she just stared at Alex's father even after he'd ripped the sheet out of the check book. When she finally found her voice, she shook her head in wonder.“Three million dollars? Is that what you think your son's happiness is worth?”“Happiness?” The man scoffed. “Please, I know my son. He's fickle, impulsive, makes decisions on fleeting emotions rather than his common sense. You wouldn't believe it if I told you how many women I heard him telling his mum was the one.”Skylar huffed. “He was just barely an adult when your wife died, Sir. We're all allowed to be impulsive during that time. But he's mature enough now to know exactly what he wants. And even if that weren't the case, you have no right to try and meddle in his life like this.” “Of course I have to meddle in his life. He is my son. He's going to be thankful to me later.”
Taming My Hot Personal Assistant •113• Deep Caring
Skylar thought things couldn't get any harder than they were, but the aftermath of the fiasco with Alex's dad proved her wrong.At least, before, she'd been able to genuinely enjoy Alex's company, but now, whenever they were together all she could feel was the guilt of knowing that she'd wrecked Alex's relationship with his father knowing very well she didn't feel the same for him as he felt for her.At least not yet.A week and a half later, Alex had still not spoken to his dad despite Skylar's numerous subtle indications that he should, and her guilt only grew further. Maybe if he finally made up with his dad, then she could stop feeling so guilty and be able to focus on the things that mattered to be able to fall in love with him quicker.Sighing, she pushed her disconcerted thoughts aside and focused on her computer screen. She was still reviewing details when an email popped up.She clicked on it, her breath hitching when she realized who it was from. It was from Luca. The man h
Taming My Hot Personal Assistant •114•Too Good At Heart
It occurred to Alex very quickly as soon as he arrived in Rockford that he didn't even know where Nicole lived. Pulling his car over on the side of the road, he picked his phone and dialed her number.It ranged until it went to voicemail. So did the second dial. She finally picked up on the third.“Alex,” She said.His chest constricted when he realized that he'd been right all along. She was still crying. It was clear in the hoarseness of her voice.“Text me your address, Nicole.”“What? Why?”“I'm in Rockford. I want to see you.”“You're in Rockford? Why?”Alex swallowed. “I needed to make sure you were okay.”There was a long pause where the only thing he could hear was her breathing before she finally spoke. “Okay. Should I come for you at the airport?”“I didn't take a flight. I drove.”Her incredulous voice came through immediately. “You drove all the way here just to make sure I
