last update Last Updated: 2025-02-23 07:52:34

Amelie’s POV

As 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

    Nathan’s POVI have been dressed in my tuxedo for over 30 minutes, pacing back and forth downstairs, waiting for Amelie. I can’t wait to see her. 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. She looks nervous. I can’t blame her. T

    Amelie's POVI’ve only known Nathan briefly, and I’ve fallen for him. I can’t believe his company donated so much to the dog rescue. 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

    Amelie's POV“It doesn’t matter what my feelings are for Amelie.” The statement repeats in my brain as we are in the limo on the ride home. I’m staring out the window, facing away from Nathan. What does that statement mean? He has feelings. He doesn’t have feelings. He doesn’t care about my feelings and wants to use me.“Are you ok, Amelie?” Nathan queries.“I’m fine, just a bit tired.”“Are you sure?” he questions.“Yes,” I whisper.He leaves me in silence. I need it. I can’t look at him right now. I lose all defenses when he looks in my eyes or smiles.I look at my phone, and a text message from Tiff goes off.Tiff: Looks like you’re in the news againMe: What?Tiff sends me the link.Society rag mag….

    Amelie's POVTo say I was shocked is an understatement. He didn’t just say what I think he just did. Did he? I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out.“Hear me out, Amelie,” he said, sitting beside me. “When I visited my grandfather, he told me he wants to retire as CEO.”“That means you’d be the permanent CEO, Nathan. That is amazing!” She exclaimed.“It’s not that easy. The board of directors must approve the CEO. Quite a few board members don’t like, how do I say it, my playboy ways. They want to appoint Alfred as CEO because he’s married. Alfred is a bigger playboy than me and a complete idiot.”“Oh, my goodness, not Alfred,” she said, rolling her eyes.“So, I need to look more…. settled,” he looked at my pleading. “So, this is where you come in. We get along, and I know I can trust you because you’re the sweetest person I’ve ever met. It would be a marriage of convenience. We must show our face as a couple for a few years to the public and make it convincing that we’re in

    Amelie’s POVI’m lying on my bed, staring at the ceiling. It’s a nice ceiling, but I wish I were sleeping instead. After the bomb Nathan dropped, it’s not coming any time soon. Married? He wants to get married. Oddly, I’m quite flattered, he asked me. That means he trusts me. Trust is a good foundation for marriage, right? I said I would do anything for Zander to get his surgery. This is the best and fastest way. Could I live in a loveless marriage for 3 years? That’s the biggest question that is stopping me. The question should be, can I live with him for 3 years with my feelings for him and not do anything? I press my hands to my face.I glance over at the clock. It's 2 am. Argh! Sleep, Amelie! Screw it! I need ice cream. I quietly head for the stairs and then tiptoe into the kitchen. I grab a spoon and rummage through the freezer. Ah, that’s the ticket. Man, this ice cream looks fancy. Hand-churned strawberry cheesecake ice cream popped the container lid and took a spoonful. Mmmmmm

    Amelie’s POVI officially can’t walk. I’ve heard people in school joke about being fucked into oblivion, but I think I actually was on the receiving end of it. Nathan was so animalistic. He was a man possessed. It was like he had a disease, and I was the cure. Five rounds in two hours. How is that even possible? Don’t get me wrong, he didn’t hurt me; he just exhausted me, and I literally saw the stars he promised.I’m currently lying in bed with him wrapped around me, kissing my shoulder.“I will never, ever get enough of you, Amelie,” Nathan exclaimed. “Your presence, your body, your soul. It feeds me. I feel like I could conquer anything when you’re with me.”“I feel like I will never walk again,” I giggled.“I will carry you everywhere, then,” he said, hugging me tightly.“That’s good to know,” I said, smiling.“We shou

    Nathan’s POVIt’s 7:00 am, and I’m sitting on the couch enjoying a cup of coffee. Amelie is passed right out in the bed. After some shower sex last night, I kept my promise of devouring her, and she hasn’t moved since. The box that Kimmy sent her sits on the coffee table, unopened. We noticed last night, after the “fireworks,” that Kimmy had also sent us champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries. We were so caught up in each other when we first entered the room that we didn’t notice them on the coffee table.Our flight isn’t until 11:00 a.m. this morning, but I got up to take care of a couple of things for the honeymoon. I want to make this the best experience of Amelie’s life. I want to give her everything.I’m staring out the window when I feel a warm set of arms wrap around me.“Good morning, hubby,” Amelie sighed.“Good morning, wifey,” I grinned. I thought y

    Amelie’s POVI can’t believe we’re in California. I’ve always wanted to go. The limo took us straight to the amusement park. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by a personal concierge that Nathan had hired to give us a VIP tour of the park, along with a photographer to accompany us.“But first,” Nathan said, grinning. “You need something special.”“What?” I asked.“These,” he stated, and handed me a bag.I opened it and squealed. “These are the Vera Wang wedding mouse ears!” I cried. I jumped up and hugged Nathan tightly.I had seen them in a magazine. I knew they were a hefty price.“And I guess I should put mine on,” Nathan smirked, pulling out the groom's ears, which were a baseball-style cap with ears and a bow tie.“Look at my handsome groom,” I said, smiling.“Look at my beautiful bride,&rd

  • The Billionaire's First Glance   Chapter 151 – Nice Buns

    Amelie’s POVI had the best sleep ever in our bed as a married couple. It makes me giddy just thinking that is the way it is now. I feel like I need to pinch myself to see if it’s real. Unfortunately, the alarm clock that rang bright and early due to our early flight time proved to me I wasn’t dreaming. In fact, it wasn’t even bright. It felt like the middle of the night because the sun wasn't up yet.Nathan’s arms weren’t around me when I woke up. The room was still dark. I got up and headed to the bathroom. He wasn’t in there either. He must have gotten up early to finish some work in the den, I thought to myself. I hopped in the shower and then got dressed in a sundress and some wedge sandals. The only clue Nathan had given me the night before was to dress for comfort and a warm destination. Hence, the sundress in New York, in the middle of winter.I quickly blow-dried my hair, brushed my teeth, and appl

    Nathan’s POVI can’t believe I’m taking my wife home to our place. It seems so surreal. It’s been less than 24 hours since we declared our love for each other, and I already think we have an unbreakable bond. I know that sounds unbelievable, but I’m getting rid of the contract.We arrived home and took the elevator up to our floor. I punch in the code and then lift Amelie bridal style.“Welcome home, Mrs. Michaels,” I stated.“Nathan,” she giggled.“Another threshold. The start of our new life in our home,” I said with a grin.“Nathan, that’s a sweet thing to say,” Amelie said, smiling.“It’s the truth,” I said as I walked through the door.Amelie gasped. There were white lilies all over the penthouse.“Did you do this?” Amelie asked.“No, it wasn’t me,” I responded.I place Am

I mean anything.”“Ame, I’m not going to call you on your honeymoon,” Zander replied. “Grandfather will take good care of me.”Amelie looked over at Grandfather. “I know this is hard for you, Amelie,” Grandfather spoke.“I’ve never been away from him for more than a day,” Amelie said nervously.“I will take great care of him. I promise, Amelie,” Grandfather informed her. “Go have a great trip with your new husband.”“Okay,” Amelie sighed, then turned her attention to Biscuit, who was in Morgan’s arms. “Are you sure you’re ok taking Biscuit for a week?”“Yes, I w

    Nathan’s POVI guess that blanket needs to go in the laundry. I had to use it to clean up Amelie after our “wine tasting” in the cellar. Amelie is driving me straight to sex addiction classes. Any time I’m alone with her, all I want to do is be inside her. To be as close to her as humanly possible.Now, I have to get through dinner with my family and friends before I get to take her home.“You need to stop attacking me in unusual places,” Amelie giggled.“I didn’t hear you protesting against it,” I chuckled.Amelie went to say something, then paused.“That’s what I thought, kitten,” I smirked.“You are annoying when you gloat,” Amelie teased.“I’ll gloat all over you, angel,” I laughed.“Baby!” Amelie squealed.I just laughed, picked her up, and twirled her around.“You make me so happy, A

    Nathan’s POVAmelie was thrilled with Biscuit. It’s the best feeling in the world to make her smile. I think it’s now my new mission in life. She and Zander played with Biscuit for over an hour inside the mansion, then took him outside to do his business and play in the snow. The amount of squeals of joy that Amelie made brought me happiness.Now, we’re sitting by the fire snuggling, and Biscuit is passed out, tired on his dog bed in front of the fire.I look up to see Dante, Dutton, Morgan, and Kimmy coming in the door. Dante and Kimmy were holding hands, which I loved to see.“Hey guys, where’s Paul?” I asked.“He decided to head home to Buffalo for Christmas,” Kimmy said. “I guess his Grandmother isn’t doing too well.”“Oh no, that’s not good,” Amelie sympathized.“Oh My God! Is that a puppy?” Morgan shrieked and ran off to see Bis

    Nathan’s POVWe barely had enough time to straighten ourselves before arriving at Grandfather’s front door. Luckily, Amelie had a brush and a clip to put her hair up because without, she had the just fucked look because I had gripped her hair so much. Of course, she stepped out of the limo, looking like a fucking goddess with her loose bun.Niles greeted us at the door and let us know that Grandfather and Zander were in the living room.“Ame!” Zander said, his eyes lighting up when he saw Amelie. “Merry Christmas.”Zander raced over to hug Amelie. I can imagine this is a totally different type of Christmas from what they had in the past. I want to make it extra special for Amelie and Zander.Grandfather stood up as we approached the seating area.“Amelie, Nathan, Merry Christmas, kids,” Grandfather grinned, leaning in for hugs.“Merry Christmas, Grandfather,” we both replied
