[Emily]

"Axel," I repeated, like saying his name out loud would confirm he was real and not some hallucination my overworked brain had cooked up.

His smile softened, like he found my disbelief endearing. "Yes," he said. "Axel."

My cheeks were still warm, and I could feel the pulse in the most ridiculous places. I forced myself to inhale slowly, like

    [Elias]"Can you walk?" I asked."Obviously," Emily said as she took one step and grabbed the door frame with both hands. I took her by the arm without a comment and steered her down the curved staircase, one hand at her elbow, my other gripping the railing on her behalf. She concentrated very hard on each step, as though they were personally threatening her. At the bottom, she looked up at me with the expression of someone who'd just won something."Stairs," she announced."Wow, stairs, let's carry on."I guided her through the bar and out into the quieter corridor toward the lifts. The music in the background faded and was replaced with the distinct chatter in the lobby. The air was far cooler out here. It seemed Emily felt the same because she breathed in and out."I'm not usually like this," she said while we waited for the elevator. I gave her a small smile before whispering, "I know.""And I'm not drunk, so that you know. "Before I could refute her claims, the elevator arrived.

  • The Billionaire DNA Match   64~Drunk and Disarming

    [Elias]"Emily, enough for what?" I repeated, since she was too drunk to catch it the first time."Enough to forget a broken heart," she made a show of pointing repeatedly to her chest, as if to show how broken she felt, while leaving me utterly confused. When was she in a relationship? From the information I'd gathered, she'd been single for a while, raising her son on her own. I always wondered who the father was and where the hell he was, leaving her to raise the child on her own.I heard Claudia or Clara exhale loudly behind me. What was she still doing here?"Mr Lockwood." Her voice was cool and pointed. "Who is this?"I straightened and turned to stare at her coldly. "It's none of your goddamned business. Leave!"The woman scurried out of the lounge, her clothes in hand, but not before giving a disdainful look to Emily. The door clicked shut behind her, and I turned back to the problem currently sitting on my floor.Emily was watching me with wide, curious eyes. "Why did you sho

  • The Billionaire DNA Match   63~What Was She Doing Here?

    [Elias]The woman in my arms moaned as I kissed down her throat, her fingers threading through my hair, pulling me closer. She was beautiful, with dark hair and red lips, the kind of woman I was usually into. The kind of woman I lost myself in when the weight of everything became too much.I didn't know her name. I'd just picked her up downstairs because I wanted to let loose. But tonight, even with this woman in my arms, even as I felt her touch, I felt nothing.In fact, my mind wasn't there. It was back in my office, hours ago, with Emily's face inches from mine, her lips parted, her breath mingling with mine. I'd wanted to close that distance more than I'd wanted anything in years. And then my phone had fucking ruined it.I pulled the woman's blouse down more out of habit than desire. She gasped, arching into me, and I bent my head to her breast…EmilyThe thought hit me like a blade. I paused, the woman's nipple in my mouth, and for a moment I felt nothing but disgust at myself. T

  • The Billionaire DNA Match   62~He's Here

    [Emily]I was directed to the washroom at the back, down the hallway. I pushed through the door, did what I needed to do, and emerged with the careful balance of someone who'd learned the hard way that walls had a habit of moving.I was halfway back to the bar when I saw him.He was climbing the stairs at the end of the hall, the ones leading to the private rooms… I wasn't sure. It was his broad shoulders, dark hair and the familiar set of his jaw. Even in my haze, I would have recognised that silhouette anywhere.Elias Lockwood? I blinked, rubbed my eyes, thinking I was seeing things, but I wasn't. It was definitely him.Questions pierced through the fog in my brain: What was he doing here? At this hotel? Going into a private room?It seemed I was very nosy when drunk because my feet moved before I could stop them. I followed, stumbling lightly on the first step, but catching myself on the railing. The stairs curved upward, and by the time I reached the top, I'd lost sight of him. Bu

  • The Billionaire DNA Match   61~A Mess

    [Emily] The taxi ride back to the hotel passed in a blur of neon lights and very nauseating turns. It was like my body was moving on autopilot, replaying everything that had just happened in a loop. Those filthy messages, those pictures, those young girls posed like merchandise, like objects. And not as children, children who needed to be protected."Oh, God!" I exclaimed, my heart breaking into pieces every time I thought of what they might have gone through. I wanted to throw up, and the tears wouldn't stop flowing.The taxi driver gave me a concerned look, but I couldn't care less. My phone had been ringing with his name for five minutes now, but I couldn't bring myself to answer. I couldn't pretend I hadn't seen what I did. And I didn't want to hear his voice because it just made me feel sick. I'd looked up to him, I'd admired him, and I'd had a crush on him for god's sake because I thought he was different from the rest, but I was wrong. I'd fallen for the facade of a paedophil

    [Emily]I stared at him, shock and delight warring in my chest. "Axel… I never thought… I mean, you're you. I didn't think I stood a chance."He smiled, leaning closer. "You stand every chance, Emily. You're strong, independent and much more. Be my woman."He caressed my hands, and I shyly whispered a yes.And then he leaned across the table and kissed me. It was brief, soft, barely a brush of lips against lips, but it was also so much more. It sent a thrill through me that left me breathless and aching for more.When he pulled back, I was smiling so wide my cheeks hurt. I had kissed Axel Connor. The Axel Connor. "Wow," I breathed. I couldn't wait to tell Lisa about this. That Axel and I were seeing each other. He laughed, looking pleased. "Wow indeed."Axel ordered a bottle of wine to celebrate. When it arrived, he insisted on opening it himself, waving off the sommelier with a charming smile."I've got this," he said, reaching for the cork, but as he stood, a waiter rushed past hi
