The elevator hummed, descending slowly, the air thick between us. I couldn’t stare ahead because Lucien chose to lean against the steel panel, eyes pinned on me, sharp and unreadable.

Finally, his smooth voice cut through the silence. “You’re quiet.” He tilted his head. “Strange. You’ve been very vocal about me the past few days,”

I blinked. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Really?” He arched a brow. “Marla’s been going on about how creative with the names you’ve called me.”

    ~Lucien:“Looks like Ms. Bennett doesn’t fancy your knack for hectic exercises,” Red said after we’d watched Scarlett step inside the elevator across the lobby.“We did only five miles,” I told him as I took off my running jacket. Moving to one of the available couches, I perched onto it.“Looks like that did quite a number on her,” he said lazily, taking the chair across from me. “Why didn’t you take Natalia instead?”“She was asleep. Had too much to drink last night,” I said simply.Red scoffed and leaned back in the chair, placing his hands behind his head. “If you told her, you know she’d jump at the opportunity.”My gaze sharpened. I knew where this was going, and I wasn’t going to let it. “Alfred, are you here to piss me off? Because it’s working.”“Ah.” A grin played on his lips, and my eyes narrowed. There was nothing good about Red smiling, and especially not a whole grin. To prove my point, he continued. “Did Ms. Bennett question you too?”My jaw ticked, but I didn’t speak i

  • The Billionaire's Dirty Obsession   91. Running Circles.

    -Two miles in and I was already hyperventilating, whereas Lucien still looked perfectly fine a few meters ahead of me.If he hadn’t dragged me out of bed and put the running clothes Hera had unfortunately packed on me, I’d still be in bed. Horny, but still. I wouldn’t be getting tortured because Lucien thought putting me through this was exciting.I felt a rush of relief when I spotted a bench up ahead. As my pace slowed, two female runners breezed past, their ponytails bouncing against their shoulders, their laughter almost infectious.I sighed as I dropped onto the bench. Lucien was still running, completely unaware that I’d been trailing behind him for the past five minutes. So much for going on a run together. The man was out to annoy me today.“Hey, I’m taking a break,” I called out begrudgingly.Lucien glanced over his shoulder and stopped when he noticed I’d sat down. I looked away as he started jogging back, keeping my face ahead as I watched the sun rise beyond the clouds. I

  • The Billionaire's Dirty Obsession   90. Wide Awake

    Lucien was leaning back on the couch, an empty glass in hand, watching me beyond the warm lighting of the room like some god-damned freak.It startled me at first.Who the fuck does that?I blinked, clearing the remnants of sleep, but I stayed on my side on the bed, not making any attempt to move. I was still sleepy and tired and not interested in entertaining him at all. But a part of me—much bigger than I’d have liked—was elated to see him here.He slowly set the glass down and leaned forward. “Good morning.” His voice was deeper than usual and raspy. It made my lower belly tingle treacherously.“What are you doing here?” I murmured, rubbing my hand on the bed in search for my phone. I found it and winced when the brightness of the screen hit my eyes. I squinted at the time. “It’s five in the morning.”I dropped the device and took him in properly. On the coffee table before him was a bottle of what I suspected was whiskey and next to it was his laptop. My eyes narrowed. He worked t

  • The Billionaire's Dirty Obsession   89. A little irritation.

    Talia had noticed me watching them, and her smile widened by a fraction. I hated that my eyes shifted a second too late and gave her that opportunity.I looked away, staring down at the horses getting geared for the race.My shoulders tensed when they stopped on our row. Honestly, I hoped they’d seat somewhere else, but the universe had other plans.“What did we miss?” Talia’s honey voice made my stomach drop with irritation.Cassian shifted beside me. “Nothing that would interest you. Enjoy your reunion?”“Very much.” Talia looked at me as she said that, as though she was trying to make a statement. A statement which was very clearly received.My gaze stayed fixed ahead even as they took the seats on my end. Lucien sat right beside me, while Talia at the edge beside him, cuddling against his chest like she belonged there. I mean, he let her so, of course she did.I shifted slightly, folding my arms across my chest, doing everything I could not to look sideways even as I felt his gaze

  • The Billionaire's Dirty Obsession   88. Quite the Asshole

    “Keep your elbow down.”I lowered my arm.“Not that far.”“Then stop telling me to lower it.”Cassian laughed behind me. “You’re remarkably argumentative for someone holding a loaded weapon.”We were at the shooting range. Of course a place this huge had one. Cassian had shown me the polo lounge, the equestrian center, and then we ended up here. Somehow, I was now awkwardly holding a loaded pistol while he’d been expecting me to take a shot for the past ten minutes.The thing was, I wasn’t cut out for this. But Cassian wouldn’t give up on me, which was quite touching and funny at the same time.PAWW!Shots echoed through the room as the other shooters fired at their targets.I flinched at the sound and immediately lost my stance again. I sighed, dropping my hands, and turned to look at Cassian, who kept a straight face.“Earmuffs. Shouldn’t I have those?”He snapped his fingers like I’d just given him the brightest idea. “Ah, yes. You know, I was wondering what was missing.”I chuckle

  • The Billionaire's Dirty Obsession   87. Old Flame

    -Lucien thought the best way to make those twenty minutes interesting was to spend them teasing and edging me until I was begging him to take me.I think I may have cried at some point. It had been unbearable how aroused I was.But on the bright side, I did not blow him in the car. Though, considering how quickly I’d drop to my knees if he asked me to now, there was nothing bright about that.“Sweetheart. Still with me?”Lucien stood by the window, leaning forward on his elbows against the glass as he stared at me with a knowing look.I blinked, trying to shake off the fog of desire. When did he get out of the car? No, when did he even stop the car?My eyes darted through the windshield, taking in my surroundings. Ahead of us was a huge building complex, with an open field beside it. A few people were riding horses across it. Other than my brief confusion about where we were, the place looked like some sort of recreational center.Drawing in a deep breath, I shot Lucien a glare. “I h
