He opened the passenger door for me.

Not the back door. The front. I registered that as I got in, settling into the seat while he crossed around to the driver’s side, and I thought about how different that small detail was from every other version of being in a car with a powerful man I had ever experienced, where the front seat was something you earned or were permitted, never simply offered.

He got in. The car was warm, the heat already running, and he pulled out into the quiet Upper Eas

  • The Billionaire's Biggest Regret    The Sunday Call

    JadeThe call did not start differently from any other Sunday.Patricia answered on the second ring the way she always did, her voice warm and easy, and we moved through the first few minutes the same way we always did, how the week went, whether the schedule had held, and what was working and what needed adjusting.I was sitting cross-legged on my bed with my coffee going cold on the nightstand, and for the first ten minutes nothing felt any different from the hundred Sunday mornings before it.Then Patricia said, “I have to tell you something that happened at the park on Thursday.”“Okay,” I said.“I took all three of them in the afternoon,” she said. “It was a good day, warm enough for the swings. There was a man there with his little boy, maybe three years old, and the father was pushing him, and the boy was laughing. You know how they get on the swings.” She paused. “Carter stopped what he was doing and just stood there watching them. For a while. Long enough that I noticed.”I h

  • The Billionaire's Biggest Regret    Eleanor

    JadeHayes asked to meet my mother properly.He said it on a Wednesday evening, sitting at my kitchen island with a glass of water, in the same tone he used for most things, like it was straightforward rather than the kind of thing that made me put down what I was holding and look at him carefully.“You’ve already met her,” I said. “Sort of. She called you directly to get your address for the bone broth.”“That’s different,” he said. “That was her using me to get to you. I want to meet her as the person you’re actually with.”I looked at him for a moment. “You understand what you’re walking into.”“She’s been trying to introduce us for months,” he said. “I think she’ll be pleased.”“She will be unbearable,” I said. “There is a difference between pleased and unbearable, and with my mother they tend to arrive together.”He almost smiled. “I’ll survive unbearable.”I stood at the counter and thought about Eleanor Ellis receiving Hayes Calloway at her Sunday table not as a bone broth deli

  • The Billionaire's Biggest Regret    Brooke and Hayes

    JadeBrooke suggested drinks rather than dinner because, as she put it, drinks gave everyone a natural exit point if things went sideways, and dinner locked you in for at least ninety minutes whether you wanted to be there or not.I told Hayes this on the way to the bar, and he looked at me and said, “She sounds like someone who has thought about this.”“She has thought about everything,” I said. “For as long as I’ve known her.”The bar was on Hudson Street, one of Brooke’s places, small and well-lit with good wine and tables far enough apart that you could have a real conversation without performing it for the people beside you. She was already there when we arrived, sitting with a glass of red in front of her and the expression of someone who had been sitting with their thoughts for twenty minutes and had come to some conclusions.She stood when she saw us.I watched her look at Hayes the way I had watched her look at things she was making up her mind about, quickly and without maki

  • The Billionaire's Biggest Regret    Brooke Finds Out

    JadeBrooke sent the link at seven forty-five on a Tuesday morning with no message attached, just the link and four question marks.I was at my kitchen table with my coffee when it came through, and I sat there looking at it for a moment before I tapped it open.It was a society column. One of the ones that ran items about who had been seen where with whom was the kind of column I had never once appeared in before and would have been happy to keep it that way. The item was four sentences. It said Hayes Calloway, CEO of the Calloway Group, had been seen at two separate restaurants in the West Village over the past week in the company of Jade Ellis, founder of Ellis Noir, the label that had recently announced a partnership with the Calloway Group. It described us as appearing, quote, very comfortable together, and noted that Hayes had been photographed opening a car door for me outside the second restaurant, which I had not noticed happening and now could not stop thinking about.I put

  • The Billionaire's Biggest Regret    Morning

    JadeI woke up and he was still there.That was the first thing I registered, before the light, before the cold coming through the gap in the curtains, before anything else. He was still there, on his back beside me, one arm above his head, breathing in the slow way of someone deep in sleep, and I lay still for a moment and let that fact exist without doing anything with it.He had stayed.Not because he passed out from a fever or because it was too late to leave or because some crisis had landed us in the same space without either of us planning it. This time we both chose it, eyes open, and he had stayed, and I had not asked him to leave, and those two things together meant something I was not going to minimize by pretending they didn’t.I got up quietly and went to the kitchen.I filled the kettle and put it on and stood at the counter while it heated. My apartment in the morning looked the same as it always did. The mood board I had propped against the far wall two weeks ago and k

  • The Billionaire's Biggest Regret    Chosen Part 2

    JadeThe stretch burned in the best way. He was thick, and he didn’t stop until he was buried to the hilt, the head of his cock pressed against the deepest part of me. I cried out his name again, broken and needy, and my legs locked around his hips. Hayes held still, forehead against mine, breathing hard through his nose, giving me time to adjust even as the muscles in his back trembled with the effort of restraint.When he finally moved, it was with the same controlled power he brought to everything else. Long, deep strokes that dragged almost all the way out before sliding home again. Each thrust was designed to make me feel every inch of him. The wet heat of me clung to him on every withdrawal; the soft, slick sound of our bodies meeting filled the room. He kept the pace slow at first, almost languid, as if he wanted me to feel the full length of every stroke, the way the thick ridge of his cock dragged against places inside me that made my vision blur.I moaned his name with every
