The Billionaire's Dirty Obsession 75. I’ve got it.
Scarlett:“New York City,” Lucien had said earlier. “Eden just acquired a new property, you’ll need to take a look. And Glenn decided to wrap up the final merger discussions during his gala over there. We’ll wait until he settles in.”So here I was, packing — partly giddy as I hadn’t been there in years, not since my college internship, and partly on edge at the fact that it was just going to be Lucien and me. Who, for the record, had worn a very particular expression when he mentioned it wouldn’t be just work. Something about ‘other things.’What other things?I had no idea.But history had proven that very little about us ever stayed… decent when we were left alone too long. And now we were about to spend days together in New York City.A slow breath left me as I shoved the last of my clothes into my bag. Once it zipped shut, I let myself fall back onto the bed, staring up at the ceiling for a moment longer than necessary, tracing the patterns to keep my mind from wandering. While t
The Billionaire's Dirty Obsession 74. Bad optics.
Scarlett:Hera didn’t have to tell me. I already knew Jessa did this. Who else would? Aside from the fact that I’d literally run into her yesterday.There’d been a flicker of mischief in the way she’d looked at me as I was leaving the café. A quiet, insistent feeling at the back of my mind that told me she would do something vile.Silence stretched in the kitchen, save for the low hum of the coffee machine.I stared at my phone longer than necessary, mildly annoyed at how much I was beginning to appreciate the angle of the shot.Jessa had, surprisingly, gotten my good side. Which was ironic, considering she’d usually go out of her way to make sure I looked like shit.I was stunned, sure — but deep down, I wasn’t exactly surprised. Just… baffled. At how far she’d go to prove that growing older didn’t necessarily mean growing up.Five years felt like enough time for that.Apparently, I’d overestimated her.“Scar?” Hera’s voice crackled through the phone. “Are you still there?”I hummed,
The Billionaire's Dirty Obsession 73. Luck?
I didn’t move for a full minute, and neither did he. If anything, he looked like he was enjoying watching me try to make sense of the fact that he had just seriously asked me to spar him.I wasn’t considering it.Okay, part of me was. For whatever reason. Maybe for the fun of it. I couldn’t tell. The other part of me was listing reasons why I shouldn’t. First, I wasn’t dressed for this. Jeans and kitten heels weren’t not exactly gym appropriate, and even if there was a possibility—“What are you thinking about?”His voice cut through my thoughts, and I sucked in a breath.He was closer now.I hadn’t even seen him move.“How ridiculous your request is,” I said, a little breathless before I could stop myself.“I asked you to try hitting me, Scarlett,” he replied, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly. “I’d think most people would jump at that opportunity. No consequences.”I held his gaze, and just for a second, my eyes dropped to his lips before flicking back up.“Sounds like bait.”
The Billionaire's Dirty Obsession 72. Not a joke.
My fingers hovered over the security panel outside Lucien’s room. He’d sent the passcode sometime in the early hours.As his assistant, having access to his room made sense. It would’ve been a lot less complicated if I weren’t also having wildly inappropriate dreams about him every damn night.I still couldn’t figure out when that had started.Especially last night — considering I’d gone to bed thinking about how absurd the allegation I made against Clayton was — one would think my subconscious wouldn’t twist that into Lucien’s hands tracing slow, lazy lines up my thighs in the middle of some high-profile event.Well, it did.It had been sensual.And I’d enjoyed it. Embarrassingly so.Letting out a slow breath, I keyed in the digits and the door clicked open.I paused, glancing down the empty hallway before stepping inside.The suite was blessedly quiet.Warmth met me first, along with the faint, unmistakable trace of Lucien’s cologne. I folded my arms, taking in the space properly th
The Billionaire's Dirty Obsession 71. Once a bitch
“You don’t look mentally ill to me.”The blonde bombshell in front of me said it with a smile that could only be described as obnoxious. Being smug and obnoxious was the only thing Jessamine Rhodes had ever truly excelled at.I studied her for a moment.It had been five years since college, and aside from her curves, which seemed to have thickened with time, not much had changed.Still blonde. Still five-foot-three. Still chewing bubble gum like a bored teenager. Still wearing heels so tall they looked medically irresponsible. Still looking at me like I was supposed to be something she’d scrape off the bottom of her shoe.The only reason I never considered her my full-time bully was because Hera had always been ready to punch her in the face whenever she tried anything.Though, that hadn’t stopped her entirely.Once, she’d slipped a used condom into my bag and somehow gotten away with it.A forced smile spread across my face as I slowly eased my hand out of her hold.“That’s because I
The Billionaire's Dirty Obsession 70. An uncomfortable possibility
Scarlett:Lucien was an asshole.I probably should’ve known just how deep the assholery ran just from working for him. The man thrived on pushing people’s buttons. Half the time he said outrageous things with that calm, infuriating composure just to see how someone would react.A fucking menace.A hot, sharp-suited menace with broad shoulders, perpetually messy dark hair, and a mouth that always seemed on the verge of a smug smile.Unfortunately for my sanity, he also had eyes that noticed everything.And right now those eyes were on me while his mouth moved. He was talking — to me, it seems — something about rescheduling and design revisions.I wasn’t listening.Because he had absolutely no right asking about my night at this table knowing exactly how it had been spent. And once that thought appeared, the memories followed.God.I thought I’d handled this already during the little pep talk I’d given myself in the mirror while I got dressed after that abominable call with Hera.“He is

“The last time you told me ‘it was one time and wouldn’t happen again,’ I believed you,” Hera said, gesturing at me with her apple. “But after this? Yeah, not anymore.”She took a loud, crunchy bite.“I’m not mad at it,” she added. “Because once again you came home looking properly appreciated. Why

Scarlett:Morning crept in fast. The rays of the sunlight poured directly on my face and for a second I didn’t realize where I was until I shifted — and winced. Everything hurt. The inside of my thighs throbbed. My neck felt sore. My knees ached and my throat felt raw.As the soreness spread, the m

~ Lucien ~~**********Her breath caught, her pulse visible just beneath that soft skin, the tip of her tongue running over her lips.Heat pooled low at the sight.I hadn’t meant to push her that far but the look on her face when her mask started slipping off made me. The way her eyes found mine, h

Scarlett:The low hum of the engine filled the car as it sped through the highway. The tension was too thick for the exchange between Lucien and me.What was I thinking? A ride, really? Hell, that was a ruse and we knew that.I should’ve stayed pacing in the restroom instead of giving in to… whatev
