Amelie’s POV

We make it to the hospital in record time. Nathan swipes his card into the VIP parking lot.

“Special parking, impressive,” I joke.

“Well, when you donate a wing to the hospital, you tend to get a few perks,” he winks.

“An entire wing?” I look at him wide-eyed.

“We, as a company, believe in supporting the community. We give back 10% of our profits to charitable endeavors,” Nathan proudly stated.

“That’s incredible! Such an amazing thing,” I beamed at him.

I think I saw him blush. It was the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen.

After parking, we head towards the hospital's front doors.

“I need to stop at the café,” Nathan says, “My grandfather doesn’t let me in his room without a coffee. It’s our thing.”

“That’s so sweet,” I touched his arm instinctively as a sign of endearment. Oh my god, did I just feel him?

Nathan looks down at me. His sexy grey eyes pierce my soul as he looks into my eyes. Shit…I’m still holding his arm. I quickly pull back my arm.

He smirks, “Are you f

    Amelie’s POVI walk into Zander’s room, and he’s typing away on his laptop with a stern look of concentration.“Why the big scowl, Zander?”He looks up from the screen and scrunches up his face. “Laid up in the stupid hospital, I still have to learn about Othello.”I laugh at him as I ruffle his hair. I’m so glad his teachers let him take his courses online until the new year. I still don’t know how I will pay off the surgery bill, but Dr. Carrera told me the $10,000 deposit shows good faith. He would take it to the hospital board to get approval to proceed with the surgery and then work out the payment plan. He said we would know the first week of December.I can’t believe it's almost December. Soon, it will be Christmas and then New Year's. I sure hope the board approves everything. I can’t wait to have Zander back home.I sit and help Zander with his homework for 30 minutes before the nurse advises that visiting hours are almost over. It makes my heart ache to leave him here every

She seems overwhelmed.“You seem frazzled, Amelie,” I say, trying to catch her attention.“I don’t think I’ve ever been in a place this extravagant,” she looked around in wonder.And then she saw it, the reason I had picked this place. “The view!” she gasped. “I can’t believe the view!” She ran to the windows. All of Central Park was laid out in front of us. All the twinkling lights and beauty of New York were on display, but it all paled compared to Amelie standing there. Her wide-eyed innocence, captivated by the view, was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.Amelie’s stomach growled, and I couldn’t help but chuckle. “We better feed you before the beast is unleashed.” Amelie turns towards me and gives me a little push, “Hey, stop making fun of my tummy,” she jokes.I lead her into the kitchen, where half a dozen take-out containers are on the counter. “Henrique got an assortment of Mexi

    Amelie’s POVAs soon as Nathan leaves the room, I head to the ensuite. OMG…this bathroom is HUGE, and look at that bathtub. I think it can fit at least four people! I searched through the bathroom drawers and cabinets and found a bottle of expensive bubble bath. Mission number 1…a bath! I start running the water in the tub and pour in the bubble bath. I inhale deeply. It smells like lilies, my favorite. I strip out of my clothes, setting them aside neatly. I have nothing to wear, so I will have to make do with these clothes tomorrow morning until we can go shopping. I’ll just have to go commando underneath them. I remember that I had a hair elastic in my messenger bag to tie my hair up in the tub. I drape the robe around myself loosely and head out to the bed to search for my bag. I take three steps outside the bathroom and realize Nathan has just walked in.“Oh my god, Amelie,” he blurts out, turning away, “I’m so sorry. I knocked, and there was no answer. I thought you were in the

    Nathan’s POVI hardly slept last night. I kept wanting to reach out to Amelie and apologize profusely, but I couldn’t get the image of her out of my head. That’s all she needed was for me to show up at her door with a raging hard-on. I got up, pulled on jeans and a black T-shirt, and headed downstairs. Amelie is sitting on the couch, flipping through one of the magazines taken off my coffee table. She’s dressed in my t-shirt and sweats and has her hair up in a messy bun. She looks hot as fuck.“Morning, Amelie,” I said, smiling.“Morning, Nathan,” she answered back.“Did you sleep well?” I questioned.“I kind of had a hard time sleeping last night,” she sighed.“Look, I’m very sorry for walking in on you….” I rub the back of my neck.“Don’t worry about it,” she replied. “Accidents happen, don’t stress yourself about it.”I let out a sigh of relief. “I just don’t want it to be weird between us.”“Already forgotten,” she smiled.No, it's not already forgotten. It’s burned into my brain

    Nathan’s POVI called Marcus to come and pick us up from the diner. I didn’t want to risk more paparazzi hanging around the building. Amelie had never been exposed to them, and I didn’t want to scare her away before I had a chance with her.Marcus drove us up to Fifth Avenue to shop for Amelie. We stopped in front of one of the boutiques and hopped out.“I kind of feel out of place,” Amelie said. "I’m not dressed right.”“First, we’ll get you an outfit you can wear for the rest of the day,” I smiled.“I feel like I’m having a Pretty Woman moment,” Amelie said.“Not Pretty, Gorgeous, Amelie,” I stated.We head into the boutique, and two ladies approach us. The tall brunette looks at me and says, “Welcome, Dr. Michaels. What brings you in today?”“We need to outfit Ms. Cavanaugh with a full wardrobe,” I demand.“Nathan,” Amelie looks puzzled, “I only need a couple of days of clothes.”“Nonsense,” I smirk at her, “Ladies, a full wardrobe.”“Of course, sir,” the other lady chimes. “Ms. Ca

I enjoy Nathan’s company. He’s so easy to be around. I feel so safe with him.My phone rings, “Hello?”“Oh hi, Mr. Vincent…. What...I see. How is this possible? Uh-huh… What am I supposed to do? Ok…I guess there is no choice. Ok, bye.” I sigh and drop my shoulders.“What’s wrong, Amelie?” Nathan queries.“I’m homeless,” I cover my face. This can’t be happening! I can’t look for a new apartment now. Zander is in the hospital, and my job, school, student position, and finals are less than a week away. “When they came to spray for the cockroaches, they found structural damage to the building. It’s been condemned.”“Oh Amelie, I’m so sorry,” Nathan sympathized, “but you’re not homeless. You, and Zander, for that matter, can stay here as long as you need.”“I couldn’t put you out like that, Nathan.”“You’re not pu

I quickly texted her and learned she would be down shortly.I hear voices coming closer from upstairs and turn my head to the staircase. My mouth gaped open as I saw Amelie descend the stairs. She is a vision of beauty—a true goddess.“Amelie,” I let out a breathy sigh.She approaches me and does a little twirl.“Will I do?” she bashfully says.“Amelie, no words can describe how beautiful you look tonight.”She blushes and bites her lip. I reach over and pull her lip out from her teeth. She has no idea what that does to me every single time. I want to lean over and kiss her.The glamour team bids goodbye to Amelie and heads out the door.“Shall we go?” I offer my arm to her.“We can’t keep the puppies waiting, can we?” She smiles back, taking my arm.We reach the gala center, and I look over at Amelie.

I had heard so much about him being a cold-hearted playboy CEO, yet I haven’t seen that side of him.“Nathan,” I say as he’s walking back to the table, “I can’t believe Michaels Investment Group is making such a large donation!” I smile so big my face hurts.“It’s just how we like to give back,” he states.“Amelie, there is something I want to talk to you about,” he sits and turns to me, “I know you just started with the company, but I know your passion would help you succeed in a project I want to start. I want you to head the new project for the dog rescue center.”“WHAT?” I squeak.“Yes, I think you have a big heart and would be able to get the involvement of staff and outside participants to help the rescue center become fully operational and funded.”“Nathan, I can’t believe you have that much faith in me,” I blush.“Amelie, you have a magnetic per

You willing to give yourself fully to me means everything to me.”“I’m yours, Nathan,” Amelie said, reaching up to caress my cheek.I started kissing her again and ran my hands over her body.I reached between her legs just to make sure she was still wet enough.

Amelie woke me up this morning wearing nothing but a big red bow tied around her chest and a G-string. Needless to say, I did some unwrapping and stuffed her stocking. Now, I’m currently taking a bubble bath with my wife sitting in front of me in the tub.“Are you sore?” I asked her.“Not too bad,” Amelie answered. “Just a little tender, mostly.”“I kind of took it easy on you last night since it was your first time,” I said. Amelie turned around and looked at me, and I smirked.“Oh really?” Amelie questioned. “Pray tell, what does not going easy look like?”“Patience, my little kitten,” I said with a grin. “You have the rest of your life to find that out.”Amelie let out the cutest little squeak.“I like th

They feel more powerful, full of emotion and passion.Nathan ran his hands down my sides and turned me around so my back was facing him. He slowly started unclasping my corset. I would be lying if I didn’t admit that I was nervous. He made quick work of the corset and dropped it to the floor. Then he hooked his fingers under the sides of my lace thong and pulled them down my legs.I stand, my back exposed to him. He lingered kisses down my back as I shivered with excitement. He stepped back.“Turn around, Amelie,” He purred. “I want to devour you with my eyes.”I turned around slowly. My body was on display for him.His gaze was fixated on me, and he licked his lips.“Perfection, my love,” He said. “I’ve waited so long for this. My body has ached for you.”He picked me up, moved to the side of the bed, and gently

    Nathan’s POVAt the same time and with the same words, we spoke.“I need to tell you something.”We both look at each other. How weird is it to say the exact same thing at the exact same time?“Ladies first, Amelie,” I said.“Are you sure?” Amelie asked.“Yes, please. What do you have to tell me?”“Nathan, I’ve been trying to find the words to tell you something for weeks. “ I finally found the words, but then I lacked the courage,” Amelie said, turning to me. “Now I think I have both. I need to say it, regardless of the outcome, because I can no longer live with this secret. I can’t keep it secret for the next three years. I can’t let it consume my heart.”Amelie looked down at the ground and wrung her hands together. Her head bowed like a scared little kitten.“Amelie,” I said, lifting her chin and gazing into her eyes. “You know you can tell me anything, right?”“I know,” Amelie spoke. “It’s just hard to put into words.”I reach for a stray piece of hair on her face and tuck it beh

    Nathan’s POVAfter the garter and bouquet toss, I excused myself to head to the washroom. Fuck. I swear, as I gripped the garter with my teeth, I could smell Amelie’s arousal through her lace panties. It drove me fucking primal. I have never wanted a woman as much as I want her. I’m praying she feels the same way when I tell her tonight.I came back to the reception and found my mother talking to Samuel. He looked really uncomfortable, so I started walking towards him, but before I could intervene, Tiff swooped in.“Sweetie,” Tiff said, grabbing Samuel’s arm. “Can we dance now?”Samuel looked at Tiff and smiled. “Vivian, do you mind if I leave you so I can dance with my girlfriend?”“Girlfriend?” My mother asked.“Yes, Tiff is my girlfriend,” Samuel grinned.“Oh, go ahead, you two,” Mother responded.Tiff dragged Samuel off to the dance floor.“Mother,” I stated as I walked up to her. “Are you having a good time?”“Yes, Nathaniel. It’s a lovely wedding,” she expressed.I glanced over

Now, however, is not the time to think about that.

We don’t want to get any on her dress,” Patricia said. “Maybe a little smush for you, Nathan. Then Amelie can kiss it off?”“That works for me,” Amelie giggled

Nathan knew just what to do. He hugged me tight.“I know this is overwhelming,” he said. “Just center yourself and let the emotions out.”Nathan always knew what to say to make me feel better. I clung to him, and he held me as if he would never let me go.“Feeling a bit more level?” Nathan asked.“Yes, thank you. It’s just so much,” I replied.“I know. Grandfather can be over the top sometimes,” Nathan stated.“Oh, really? I know a certain someone who seemed to pick up that Michaels trait as well,” I giggled.“Guilty as charged,” Nathan chuckled. “Are you ready to make a brief statement to our guests as a couple? I’ll do all the talking if you’d like.”“Yes, my hubby,” I advised.“Ok, my wifey,” Nathan responded.We walked up to the podium.“Hi, Everyone, my wife,” Nathan paused and smiled at me, “an

I took a quick look around as Desiree finished the finishing touches. The room looks spectacular, and the lighting gives off an icy blue hue.

He’s also staring at me.We make our way to the middle of the dance floor. The dance floor looks like ice.

I couldn’t wait to get back to his sister, however.Tonight is going to be amazing. I already decided I’m not going to drink much at the reception. I want to be sober when I tell her how I feel tonight. I’m really hoping she feels the same way, or at least is starting to feel the same way. I won't pressure her, either.
