[Emily]

My heart stopped, and not in the dramatic, poetic way people say when they're nervous or surprised. I mean it in the real way. Like how my chest locked, how my lungs forgot their job, and how the entire room tilted, so much that I had to grip the wall behind me to stop myself from crumpling to the ground.

"Is it because of that time we met six years ago?"

The question rang in my ears, loud enough to drown out the chatter in the conference room, loud enough to drown out everything.

  • The Billionaire DNA Match   71~The Other Son [2]

    [Lucent Volkov]Harrison Lockwood, our biological father, the man whose sperm created Elias and me. He'd been a monster in ways that didn't leave visible scars. He'd abused my mom. And when people talk of abuse, they think it's always physical. But trust me, there's mental abuse, where one person's words affect another's self-esteem, self-awareness and confidence. My mother had been a victim of that, and it had broken her until she finally got away. The divorce had been brutal, and the custody agreement had been a nightmare.She'd chosen to keep me. Or perhaps she'd wanted Elias and had been given me instead. She's never said which, and I've never asked because some truths are too heavy to carry."You went to New York six years ago," she whispered. "Since then, you've been there a few more times. Three months ago as well. You finally saw him?""Yes, Mama, I did see him. I've told you countless times." I swallowed the bitterness that rose in my throat. I'd stood across the street from

  • The Billionaire DNA Match   70~The Other Son [1]

    [Lucent Volkov]The snow hadn't stopped falling for three whole days.I stood by the window of our garden cottage, watching it blanket the pine forest in silence, and thinking about the last time I saw New York. Six years ago. It felt like a lifetime and no time at all."Mama is asking for you," someone called from behind me.I turned, and there, my sister, Katya, stood in the doorway. She was sixteen years old, with our mother's bluish eyes but none of her fragility.I stared at her, really stared at her and noticed that she'd been crying. I could see it in the redness around her eyes, the way she wouldn't even spare me a glance. It seems it's the only thing one can do in this house these days: cry and count down to the day when it all comes to an end."I'll be there in a moment."She nodded and disappeared back down the hallway. I heard her footsteps fade, then the soft click of a door closing. She'd been staying by Mama's side too, refusing to go to school, refusing to eat unless s

  • The Billionaire DNA Match   69~Second Base?

    [Emily]His hand slid down, pushing the sheet aside, and I didn't stop him. I couldn't. Every inch of me was on fire, desperate for his touch, hungry for more.His hands moved to my breast and gave each a squeeze before his lips descended on them, taking my breath away. I let out a sharp gasp as his tongue twirled against my nipple. Desire as hot as fire surged through me and had me moaning in ecstasy.His palm flattened against my stomach, warm and calloused, and I shivered. His fingers traced lazy patterns on my skin, circling my navel, skating along the edge of the sheet wrapped about my waist.I was wet, very wet, and I needed him to inch a little bit lower."Elias," I breathed, clouded with lust. I'd never called him by his first name before. And no name coming from my mouth had ever sounded like that before, like a prayer or a plea. A plea for what?He lifted his head to look at me, and there was something in his eyes, something I couldn't explain. Wonder, maybe—hunger or both.

  • The Billionaire DNA Match   68~First Base

    [Emily]His mouth was on mine before I could think, before I could do anything but surrender. The kiss was nothing like last night's kiss, a gentle brush on the lip; instead, it was hungry, demanding, the kind of kiss that made my toes curl and my fingers dig into his shoulders. His hands were in my hair, tilting my head, and I opened my mouth for him without a second thought. His tongue swept against mine, and I tasted something minty and beneath it, just him.I was still wearing nothing but a bedsheet. He was still shirtless. And somehow, impossibly, we were closer now than we'd been a moment ago. His chest pressed against mine, the heat of him searing through the thin cotton, and I could feel every line of muscle, every plane of hard flesh."Emily," he breathed against my mouth, and the sound of my name like that, rough and low, sent a shiver straight down my spine.I pulled him closer, my hands sliding up from his shoulders to tangle in his hair. It was softer than I'd imagined, t

  • The Billionaire DNA Match   67~In Bed With Him

    [Emily]I started to slide out of the bed, still clutching the sheet, but my legs were tangled in the fabric, and my head was spinning from the hangover, and I ended up tumbling off the side of the bed to the ground with a yelp.The sound finally woke him."What—" Lockwood sat up sharply, the sheet pooling further down his waist. My eyes widened, expecting to see a part of a body, but instead, they found the dark blue pants underneath. Oh!Why did I sound disappointed?Lockwood's eyes found mine immediately. "Emily? What are you doing on the floor?"I stared up at him, mortified, still half naked, tangled in hotel sheets, and absolutely nowhere to go. Because this was my hotel room. My room! I couldn't escape anywhere but the hallway, and I was currently wearing nothing but a sheet."I was just…" I trailed off, my face burning.Lockwood looked at me, then at the state of the room, then back at me. Something softened in his expression. "You look like you're about to have a heart attack

  • The Billionaire DNA Match   66~Did We?

    [Emily]The first thing I registered was the light in the room. It was too bright, too sharp, and it sliced through my eyelids like a blade, and I groaned, rolling away, trying to get as far away as I could from it.The second thing I registered was the heavy, warm weight draped across my waist. My naked waist. It felt like an arm. An arm was draped over my completely, utterly naked waist. My eyes flew open at the realisation.I was lying on my side, facing the window. Behind me, pressed against the length of my back, was a body. A very large, very male, very warm body. His arm was wrapped around me, his hand splayed against my stomach, and I could feel his breath stirring the hair at the nape of my neck.Slowly, carefully, I turned my head.Elias Lockwood. Shit!He was asleep, his face slack and younger-looking without the usual sharp edges. His dark hair was dishevelled, falling across his forehead. The sheet had slipped down to his hips, leaving his chest bare, and I could see the
