"Yes." The word hangs in the air between us like a promise as Brett's face transforms, relief and joy replacing the nervous tension. "Really?""Really." I'm surprised by how certain I sound.He kisses me then, soft and tender on the Ferris wheel. He tastes like funnel cake .When we break apart, I can see the carnival spread out below us like scattered stars."I have conditions," I say, my practical side kicking in."Name them.""I keep my apartment. I'm not moving in with you until I'm ready.""Agreed.""I want to take things slow. No pressure, no timeline.""Whatever you need.""And Lily comes first. Always.""I wouldn't have it any other way." His thumb traces my cheek. "She's part of what I'm falling in love with - your fierce love for her."We ride the Ferris wheel three more times, talking about everything and nothing.

Riley's POV"You don't have to do this," Brett says for the third time as Marcus adjusts his tie in the front seat of the limo. "We can turn around right now."I smooth down my emerald green dress - the one Brett bought me months ago but I'd never felt worthy of wearing. Tonight feels different. Tonight, I'm choosing to stand beside him."I'm not running anymore," I tell him, though my palms are sweating. "Besides, someone needs to make sure you don't scowl at the donors."Marcus chuckles from the front seat. "She has a point, sir. Your charity galas are legendary for the wrong reasons.""I don't scowl," Brett protests."You absolutely scowl," I say, reaching over to straighten his already perfect tie. "It's your 'I'm tolerating rich people for a good cause' face.""That's because I am tolerating rich people for a good cause."The Redemption Heights Children's Hospital benefit is in full swing when we arrive. Camera flashes explode the moment Brett st

The Billionaire’s Broken Contract Chapter 61: The Courtship
Riley's POV"Mommy, Brett's here!" Lily's excited voice carries from the living room.I smooth my dress one last time before walking out. Brett stands in my doorway holding a bouquet of daisies - my favorite, not the expensive orchids he used to buy for show. Lily bounces on her toes beside him, her energy infectious since her surgery."Ready for our date?" Brett asks, his gray eyes soft."Where are we going this time?" I take the flowers, inhaling their sweet scent."It's a surprise.""I don't like surprises." The words come out sharper than intended.Brett's smile falters slightly. "You'll like this one. I promise."Twenty minutes later, we're pulling into a small carnival on the outskirts of town. Cotton candy scents the air, and carnival music plays from rickety speakers. It's nothing like the five-star restaurants and exclusive clubs he used to drag me to."A carnival?" I stare at the twinkling lights."I thought..." Brett runs a hand thr
The Billionaire’s Broken Contract Chapter 60: The Realization
Brett's POVI woke up before dawn with Riley curled against my side, her auburn hair spread across my chest. For a moment, I just lie there, memorizing the feel of her, the soft sound of her breathing.Yesterday’s sex had been so intense that I was sure Riley was sore. She’d ridden me to death, and I couldn’t think straight afterward. Where had she been hiding all that vixen power all this time? It was the best sex I’d had in ages. Hell, I wanted more, but it could wait.This is what happiness feels like. Not the rush of closing a deal or the satisfaction of dominating a boardroom. This quiet contentment, this sense of completeness I've never experienced before.I ease out of bed carefully, not wanting to wake her. She needs the rest, and I need to think.In the kitchen, I make coffee and stare out at the city waking up. Somewhere out there, Victoria is probably planning her next move. The board members are likely questioning my judgment. The media is waiting for
The Billionaire’s Broken Contract Chapter 59: Don’t stop
Riley's POVHe carried me to my bedroom. The room was dimly lit, the air heavy with anticipation. He turned to me, his eyes dark with lust."You're so beautiful, Riley," he murmured, his hands tracing the curve of my hips.I leaned in, pressing my lips to his. Our kiss deepened, our tongues tangling as our bodies pressed together. He cupped my breast, his thumb brushing over my nipple. I gasped, arching into his touch."You like that?" he asked, a wicked smile playing on his lips."Yes," I breathed, my voice barely above a whisper.He smirked and lowered his head, his mouth capturing my nipple through the fabric of my shirt. I moaned, my hands fisting in his hair. He sucked and nibbled, sending waves of pleasure coursing through me.He pulled my pajamas as his fingers found the lace of my panties. He brushed against my clit, and I gasped, my hips bucking against his touch."You're so wet, Riley," he growled, his voice thick with desire. "Let me taste you."He slid my panties down, his
The Billionaire’s Broken Contract Chapter 58: The Tenderness
Riley's POVI stare at the ceiling tiles for what feels like hours after Brett leaves. The hospital room feels colder without him as Victoria's words echo in my mind like a poison I can't shake.You couldn't even handle a simple job without collapsing.She's right. I'm barely keeping my head above water, and now I'm supposed to weather the storm of dating Brett Graham? The media scrutiny, the judgment, the constant questions about whether I'm good enough?I don’t think I can bear going through that again. A soft knock interrupts my spiraling thoughts. Dr. Vasquez peers in."How are you feeling?""Like I want to go home." I try to sit up straighter. "When can I be discharged?""Tomorrow morning, if your fever stays down." She checks my chart. "But Riley, you need to take some time off. Real time. Your body is telling you to slow down.""I can't afford to slow down.""You can't afford not to." She sits on the edge of my bed. "I know it's hard. I know you're trying to prove yourself. But
