"How dare he summon me like this?" I yelled while I got out of bed and walked out of the villa. Huffing in anger, the security guard stared at me in shock as he saw me approaching. He rushed to open the gate and a red BMW parked by the gate came into view. The gate closed behind me and then Vaughn got out of the car and banged the door closed. I smirked at his behavior, but my pulse jumped in anticipation. He walked over, and we stood toe to toe. "What the f*ck do you want, Vaughn? I have a busy day tomorrow." I drawled with a non-committal tone. All I wanted was to annoy him enough to send him away. "Are you still going to drag out the past?" he asked with a raised eyebrow."Just state what you came to say and leave," I huffed. "Do you have a lover?" Vaughn asked. I took a step back and squinted my eyes at him. "What right do you have to ask such a question?" "Wade, do you honestly believe that the feelings between us are simple?" Vaughn asked with a sad smile. I turn

"Shut up, Auden!" I yelled. "Calm down, Wade," Uncle Malkiel said. "If only you explained this, we would not be speculating. You should have been clear before you left the villa. And to find Vaughn in your office? It did not look good."We all went silent, and the office door was knocked on. Damien walked in. "Sir, the media wants an interview with you. Vera Bexley, Sam Bexley, and Mayor Everett all have requested to meet you.""I am not available to meet anyone," I murmured. "Cancel all my meetings.""The Milan office called. The call is scheduled in an hour," Damien stated. "Sh*t. Okay, fine. I need to clear things up. The exhibition is this Friday. Send out a press release, Auden. Direct the media to another story. That the exhibition will be open to all. Anyone can attend the event. Change the exhibition from the garden to the main exhibition hall. Have a call with Elaine to discuss these latest changes."Auden nodded and left the office. "You need to call your Pa and inf

"Right on time." Vaughn's eyes twinkled as he rearranged my clothes. I felt him rub the bite on my neck and he left the shirt wide open making the bite and the tattoos visible."You are such an unruly brat." I laughed at his naughtiness and walked toward Auden as Vaughn followed behind with a grin. Turning around I stated, "Don't follow yet. I want to know why she is looking for me." Vaughn shook his head in defiance and Auden responded, "You go. I will remain behind with Vaughn." I walked back to the counter, ordered a drink, and pretended not to see Vera. My hand froze midair as I was about place the glass to my mouth and heard her state, "If it isn't the Wade Malkiel. The husband snatcher." I smiled and gulped down the whiskey. I ignored her and ordered another glass.Vera pressed on with her voice louder this time. "Aren't you ashamed to be seen with someone else's man?" The whole bar went silent. The loud voices quieted down and the mood changed. Everyone was listening
The Art Collector and His Billionaire Lover Chapter 24: Wade's Family
VAUGHN'S POVWade Malkiel's words made me rush to the men's room. I got into the cubicle, unzipped my pants, and grabbed some toilet paper as I grabbed my c*ck and shamelessly came into my hands. He had made me shatter into an orgasm just from his words. I was screwed. I got out of the cubicle and washed my face. Wade's voice and his dreams made me shudder with need. When I walked back to the gazebo, I saw him standing by the sea. He looked lost in thought and every step that I took toward him made my body burn.I suddenly realized that I had gotten shy around him."Why did you run?" His piercing gaze burned into me. Turning around I shook my head in answer. I was not ready to tell him that his words just made me come. I suspected he knew, and I started walking toward the car. He caught up with me and laced his fingers with mine.We left Bullata bay and headed to his villa. On arrival, he instructed the guards to open the door since he did not want to be photographed. Mr. Eli Ma
The Art Collector and His Billionaire Lover Chapter 25: Malkiel's Exhibition
WADE'S POVWe were busy over the next two days as we prepared for the museum and art gallery exhibition. Vaughn kept avoiding meeting me, maintaining calls and texts all through the two days. 'How long are you going to avoid me?' I texted.'I am trying to clear my desk so that we have the weekend together.' 'I want a video call tonight. No compromises.'Before I left the office, Elaine arrived with Auden. The awkwardness that was there between them was long gone. And this made me happy since I wanted things to work out for them."We are just here to do the final touches for the exhibition. Everything is ready for tomorrow. The confirmation from the public and elite society is the largest we have ever seen in the history of Valletta." Elaine beamed. "The donations have been streaming in for the last two days after the announcements. The money from the Bexley foundation also arrived today. It will be the biggest donation ever done," Auden stated. I nodded and then pressed the

"What the f*ck do you think you are doing brat," I whispered in shock. He moved back, turned around, and said, "Let's take pictures for the papers, Wade." I smirked and shook my head as the cameras flashed and Vaughn grinned from ear to ear. His mother's face was priceless but what made me laugh out loud was the look on Vera Bexley's face. It was in between disgust and embarrassment. Leaning down to whisper in Vaughn's ear, I reprimanded him. "Why did you not prepare me for this? You should be punished." He turned to look into my eyes, our mouths were inches apart. The excitement in the hall was deafening and I took a step back from him while his eyes twinkled in mischief. "That's enough," I scolded. I walked away from his table and went to sit with Pa. I ignored all the media questions or invites for an interview while Pa kept laughing his heart out as we ate dinner. Sam Bexley walked over after the event was finished and Uncle Malkiel was the first to stand up in defense.

Time ticked by so slowly, the tension in the air thick like the honey color of his eyes. He rubbed himself on my crotch."Stop squirming," I commanded as I rolled back on the seat and titled my neck to look up at his beautiful features. The moonlight shone on the balcony making him look like an angel."I can't help it, Wade," Vaughn breathed softly, shifting his weight when I grabbed his waist to stop his movement. I wanted to take this slow, but he was being a rogue about it. "What do you want to do?" I asked him. I saw him panic and his body tremble. He nestled his face in the starched corner of his shirt, but I slid my hand up his back and tugged the back of his neck making him face me. "What are you thinking about?" I murmured. "About how much I craved this," he responded.Pulling his head to mine, I kissed him. The kiss was a mixture of the sweet notes of fruit that were distilled into the whiskey and the crispness of its freshness against ice. Demanding more, I opened
The Art Collector and His Billionaire Lover Chapter 28: Waves
VAUGHN'S POV I had dragged Wade out of bed on Sunday morning to go sailing. I smiled cheekily knowing well that I had made the right decision to get Wade out of Valletta. I wanted us to make up and talk, before getting back to the chaos we left behind.I had rented out a yacht and now we were deep in the Mediterranean enjoying the breeze and the view. Wade was sulking because I had dragged him out of bed while he wanted to rest. We only had today to keep each other company since tomorrow we have to return to Valletta. "You do know that I am the president of the holdings. I can always delegate," Wade complained. "I planned this for us. Why do you always have to be difficult?" I scolded him. "We have a lifetime, Vaughn," he stated."You better keep your word," I laughed.His body demeanor changed, and he leaned back on the railing and closed his eyes. I could tell that he wanted to relax and enjoy the scenery. I steered the yacht closer to the destination, shut the engine, and
