This morning, squeezed between phone calls, coffee, and errands, Elizabeth had gotten acquainted with Lyon from afar. She’d scrolled through articles describing the city’s heart at the confluence of two major rivers and its reputation as the birthplace of cinema. It was a place of traditional bouchons and Renaissance-era streets, a city defined by a dramatic silk-weaving history and massive wall paintings that earned it the title of the capital of murals.

  • The Billionaire Bargain    Chapter 37: A Fling or New Beginning

    After the splendour of some of his prime Montreal real estate, they headed back. The drive was subdued. Elizabeth noticed Henri glance at her a couple of times, as if trying to read her expression, and smiled brightly at him.​She sat tensely in her seat as he drove. Now she knew who he really was. He was certainly not the shark of Montreal. He was showing a novel side of himself—an emotional side; he wasn't just a billionaire who devoured, but a man hurting. He was a man haunted by the past loss of a love that had hardened his heart, never wanting to become vulnerable again so as not to be fooled. That was why he behaved so coldly, to mask his warmth. Elizabeth truly wanted to feel him, all of him. She wanted to bask in his warmth, feeling every bit of him, letting him know it was safe to be vulnerable and that he had nothing to be ashamed of with her. She wanted to be devoured and consumed completely by him.​Yet there was Marie. A woman he had loved so deeply that it both broke him

    Later that day, he drove her to his family's home, an imposing six-story mansion in Westmont. A housekeeper warmly greeted Henri, then retired to her own apartment and left them alone.​Inside the vast ground-floor living room, Elizabeth took it all in: the glittering chandeliers, the immense open spaces, and the sumptuous furnishings. She gazed wide-eyed at a giant medieval tapestry that covered the wall from one floor to the next in the stairwell of the grand staircase.​She noticed Henri's sudden silence and hung back when he approached the stairs. "I'll wait down here," she offered, not wanting to intrude.​He paused, his hand resting on the banister, then nodded. "If you want, but I would prefer to give you a tour."​He turned and walked into an adjacent room. She followed hastily. It was a pleasant space where French windows opened onto a green velvet lawn.​"This was our room," Henri confessed dryly.​"Our room?" Elizabeth blurted, an astonished look on her face. Was he referri

  • The Billionaire Bargain    Chapter 35: Dawn and Desire 2

    He kissed her mouth with hungry passion, and the smoldering flame inside her instantly roared into blazing life. He spread his kisses down to the sensitive nape of her neck. One of his hands cupped her bare breast, his fingers sending a thrill through her skin, while his other hand slid down to pull her close—completely ignoring the incessant vibration of his phone.​Thrilled by the touch of his lean hands, she pushed gently against his chest. "My turn," she whispered, guiding him down onto the mattress and climbing atop him. Hungry for the faint, salty taste of his skin, she leaned down to trace her tongue across his chest and down the line of his hard abs. Henri shuddered. His low moan vibrated through her like an aphrodisiac, her excitement mounting as his warm hands slid down her thighs, finding the heat between her legs.​She met his gaze, her eyes dark with promise. Dragging her lips across his jaw to his chin, she whispered, "I want you in me, Henri."​A primal hunger took hold

  • The Billionaire Bargain    Chapter 34: Dawn and Desire

    The golden-pink hues of dawn slowly bled through the floor-to-ceiling glass, dissolving the protective shadows of the night.​Elizabeth stirred first, warmed by the heavy weight of Henri’s arm still draped possessively over her waist. He hadn't let go of her all night. Even in his sleep, his body had remained anchored to hers, a silent, powerful shield against whatever monsters waited beyond the penthouse walls.​She shifted slightly, looking up at his face. Without the hard, defensive mask he wore for the world, he looked younger, though the faint tension in his jaw never fully faded.​Gently, she lifted his hand from her waist, not wanting to wake him. She sat up gingerly, placing the soles of her feet on the cool granite floor with reassuring steadiness.​She padded quietly into the bathroom and stood for long, satisfying minutes under the soothing hot water. A quiet warmth bloomed deep in her chest as she recalled the night before. Some of the things he had said had been so beauti

  • The Billionaire Bargain    Chapter 33: Safety Together

    The rest of the drive was filled with heavy silence. Henri held her tightly in his lap, keeping his arms firmly around her waist. Whenever she tried to move, his grip only became stronger, demanding her silent submission.The car finally slowed as it entered one of the City of Saints' most luxurious neighborhoods. They drove into the private underground parking garage of his glass-and-steel high-rise. The car came to a stop, and Greg quickly got out to open the door. Without loosening his hold, Henri lifted Elizabeth into his arms, carrying her easily. The scent of cedar drew her in, and her cheeks warmed as he took her toward the private elevator.“Don’t let go,” he whispered softly.Elizabeth nodded, resting her head against his shoulder.The elevator doors opened directly into his penthouse foyer. The space was quiet and lit warmly by recessed lights, highlighting the sweeping views of the city skyline through the floor-to-ceiling windows.Henri stepped out of the elevator while st

  • The Billionaire Bargain    Chapter 32: Car Ride Lingering Desire

    Elizabeth didn’t protest as Henri led her out of the emergency wing, his grip on her wrist firm but remarkably gentle. The cool night air hit them the moment they stepped through the sliding glass doors of the hospital lobby.​Waiting at the curb was Henri's sleek, matte-black Maybach. The second guard rushed ahead to hold the door open.​"Henri, wait," Elizabeth began, her voice trembling slightly as she looked back toward the hospital entrance. "My car is still in the lot, and I need to make sure Tom's transfer goes smoothly—"​"Greg will have your car delivered to the penthouse tonight," Henri cut in, his tone leaving absolutely no room for negotiation.​He guided her into the plush leather interior of the backseat, sliding in right after her. The car door clicked shut, leaving them alone in a quiet, luxurious cocoon away from the city's noise. The glass partition to the driver's seat was already raised.​Henri didn't say a word at first. He simply leaned back, his chest rising and
