The Billionaire’s Blood Debt: Ruined by My Enemy Chapter 192: I Want to Be on Top of You
--- Elowen's POVIt started with the press of his mouth against mine, soft at first, almost testing. Rain still clung to his hair from the courtyard, cold droplets sliding onto my cheek when he leaned in. I tasted the storm on him—wet wool, night air, and something warmer that was purely him. My hands found the front of his sweater, fingers curling into the soft knit.He framed my face with both palms, thumbs brushing the corners of my mouth while he kissed me deeper. There was no rush yet, only a slow, deliberate claiming. His lips moved over mine with quiet certainty, coaxing them open, drawing a soft sound from my throat that made him smile against me. That private smile sent heat spiraling low in my stomach.“Elowen,” he murmured, the name roughened by breath. “Tell me if this is too much.”I shook my head, rising onto my toes. “It isn’t.
The Billionaire’s Blood Debt: Ruined by My Enemy Chapter 191: The Night Is Still Young
--- Elowen's POVSilence hung over the conservatory, thick and warm, broken only by the faint, rhythmic patter of rain trickling down the glass ceiling.Killian didn't immediately move away. He stayed close, his dark eyes searching my face while I sat in the armchair trying to catch my breath. My lips still tensed with the lingering memory of his touch, and my chest rose and fell in quick, shallow cycles that I couldn't quite smooth out.A slow, deliberate curve formed at the corner of his mouth."Did you like it?" he asked softly.I pulled back half an inch, blinking as I tried to assemble a composure that had completely shattered minutes ago. "What do you mean?" I answered, forcing my tone to sound flat and unbothered, as if we had been discussing the weather rather than sitting breathless after a kiss.Killian doubled down without a single
The Billionaire’s Blood Debt: Ruined by My Enemy Chapter 190: You Have Gotten What You Wanted
--- Elowen's POVFor a long moment, I didn't say anything.I sat in my chair with my arms folded over my chest, staring across the rosewood board at Killian. He looked completely relaxed, leaning back into the soft leather of his armchair with one hand resting casually on his knee. He was waiting for my answer as if he had just asked to bet a cup of tea instead of a kiss under one of the most famous monuments in the world.I paused, studying his face, trying to work out where all this confidence was coming from.Killian spent his days buried in work, traveling between cities, and dealing with lawyers and business partners. When on earth did a man like him find time to play chess deeply enough to stand a chance against me?I had spent years of my youth sitting in quiet tournament halls. I knew pawn structures, openings, and endgame tactics. My online rating was st
The Billionaire’s Blood Debt: Ruined by My Enemy Chapter 189: Kiss Me Under the Eiffel Tower
--- Elowen's POVI woke up the next morning to the quiet routine of rain tapping against the high glass windows of the bedroom.Marie arrived precisely at eight. We spent two hours in the living room working through my core stability drills, using the parallel bars near the garden doors. My back was sore from yesterday's strain, but the sharp spasms had retreated, leaving behind only the steady, manageable ache of healing nerves.By eleven, Marie had set a bowl of warm soup on the dining table, tidied the kitchen, and bid me a quiet goodbye until tomorrow.Left alone, I wheeled myself over to the small antique desk near the window and opened my laptop. Among the clutter of newsletter updates and news digests in my inbox sat a single email from my family law attorney in New York, flagged with high priority.I opened it.Attached was a dense PD
The Billionaire’s Blood Debt: Ruined by My Enemy Chapter 188: A Dangerous Habit
--- Elowen's POVThe remaining distance between us didn't vanish in a hurry. It dissolved slowly, measured out in the quiet cadence of the rain drumming against the curved glass overhead.Killian didn't rush. He never rushed when he felt he held all the cards.His lips brushed mine—a soft, feather-light contact so faint it was almost soundless. It wasn't a fierce press or a demand for ownership; it was a ghost of a gesture, a deliberate tease that sent a sharp, electric jolt running straight down my spine to the tips of my toes.My eyes drifted shut for a fraction of a second, purely against my will.When I opened them again, he was still right there, his dark gaze holding mine with an unhurried, razor-sharp focus. Beneath my palm, which was still pinned flat against his wool sweater, his heart maintained that steady, heavy thud—a sharp contrast to th
The Billionaire’s Blood Debt: Ruined by My Enemy Chapter 187: Eyes on Those Lips
--- Elowen's POVBy four in the afternoon, the autumn sky over Paris had turned the color of bruised slate.Marie had left an hour earlier, leaving a pot of warm herbal tea on the stove and my evening medication neatly laid out beside a glass of water on the dining table. The house was quiet in that clean, expansive way that old European townhouses often are—the only sounds being the soft tick of the grandfather clock in the hallway and the occasional hiss of tires on wet cobblestones out on Rue de l'Université.I wheeled myself through the living room and into the glass conservatory, feeling a quiet satisfaction in how manageable my lower back felt. The daily standing exercises with Marie were paying off; the deep, agonizing spasms that used to lock my spine had dulled into a manageable stiffness.Near the back wall of the conservatory stood a set of high, built-in maho
