The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 43: Facing The Music
Luca looked up from his phone when he heard the knock on his office door. "One minute!" He took his time walking to the door and then took a few moments before turning the handle."Sloane," Luca deadpanned as he opened the door.Sloane smiled at him tentatively. "Luca. I was pleasantly surprised you wanted to meet up."Luca nodded stoically and gestured for Sloane to enter. Sloane's smile wavered slightly as she walked into the office before it fell off her face completely when she noticed Kit perched on Luca's desk."Sloane," Kit said with a satisfied smirk at Sloane's put-out expression.Sloane turned back to Luca with a frown painted on her lips. "What is she doing here?""She can speak for herself," Kit interjected smugly as Luca walked back to his seat behind the desk. Sloane stood in the middle of the room, staring at the two undecidedly for a second.Kit gestured at the couch behind Sloane helpfully. "Why don't you take a seat?"Sloane smiled at Kit nervously before obli
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 44: Can I Ask You Something?
Kit opened the door to her apartment and stopped in surprise before stepping back outside and checking the number on the door. She walked back in slowly and closed the door behind her before turning and surveying the dozens of vases of blood-red roses decorating her home.There was a trail of rose petals, lined with lit vanilla-scented pillar candles lining the way. Kit hesitantly followed the trail into her living room, where she was stunned to find dozens more vases of roses.The rest of the trail led to the open balcony doors where Kit could see Luca's back facing her."Luca?" Kit called questioningly, causing him to whip around with a giant grin on his face. "Hey," Luca greeted her softly as he walked toward her and pulled her into a hug. "How was the rest of your day?"Kit looked at him as if he'd grown two heads. "How did you get in here? Wait - don't tell me. Gemma, right?"Luca chuckled quietly as he pulled her into a searing kiss. "Smart and beautiful - I'm a very lucky

"Are you ready?" Luca asked Kit as their car pulled up to the launch venue. She turned and gave him a brilliant but nervous smile."Born ready," Kit assured him with a nod before giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. Joey opened the door for Kit with a friendly smile. "Ready, kid?" Joey asked into the car. Kit chuckled and grabbed his hand as he helped her out of the car. "Thanks, Joe. You look really dapper tonight - are you going to hang around and enjoy the party?"Joey nodded as he smiled at Kit affectionately. "I wouldn't miss this for the world. You look gorgeous by the way."Kit smiled at Joey and did a little turn playfully. Luca stepped out of the car and pulled her into his side with an admiring gaze. "I'm the luckiest man here tonight.""Don't you forget it," Joey said sternly, punctuating the end of his sentence by closing the door. "You two kids have fun. I'll see you inside." Luca smiled at Joey before leading Kit toward the doors to the building. The room burst
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 46: The Worst Kind Of Surprise
"Mr Brooks!" Luca stopped and turned at the sound of his name as he was exiting his office building. He was stunned to find Maya waiting for him, an odd expression on her face. It looked like she'd been waiting outside for a while. For a second, he wondered if James had also told Maya where their office was."Maya," Luca responded in surprise as she walked over to him. "What are you doing here?"Maya cleared her throat and adjusted her coat uncomfortably. "I was hoping that I could talk to you for a few minutes."Luca frowned and hesitated. "I don't know if that's a wise idea. I think you've already said everything that you needed to."Maya frowned and stepped closer to Luca. "I know that our last encounter was far from pleasant but all I need from you is a few minutes."Luca groaned and ran his hand through his hair. "Okay, there's a coffee shop in the building. Why don't we go and talk there?"Maya nodded and followed after Luca as he led the way back into his office building

"You know that you don't have to do this, right?" Luca double-checked with Kit. They sat next to each other at the table he'd sat at with Maya just a few days earlier.Kit smiled at him reassuringly as she fiddled with the handle of her teacup. "I know, but she'll probably come and pester you again. Let's just get this over with and out of the way."Luca squeezed her hand he was holding under the table, causing Kit to smile at him gratefully."What is he doing here?" Maya asked, announcing her arrival to the oblivious couple.Kit turned away from Luca and gave Maya a disapproving look. "Hello to you too.""What is he doing here?" Maya repeated testily, her eyes narrowed on Luca. "When you called me, I told you that I didn't want him to be here.""I don't care what you want," Kit said bluntly. "You can sit down or you can leave, your choice."Maya looked put out and sat down reluctantly, opting to completely ignore Luca and focus entirely on Kit. She smiled brightly. "How have yo

"Hey handsome," Kit purred when Luca opened his front door."Uh - hi," Luca answered dumbly, shocked to see Kit. "I wasn't expecting to see you tonight."Kit smirked as she ran her eyes down Luca's bare torso slowly, following the v along his hips until it disappeared into his sweatpants."I can tell you weren't," Kit said as she playfully licked her red lips, her eyes flickering up to meet his amused gaze."Do you want to come in then?" Luca asked with a smile while already stepping back into the low-lit apartment. Kit smiled as she brushed past. Luca shook his head and turned to follow her; his eyes drawn to her long legs - exposed by her short skater skirt."Didn't know you were a sports fan," Kit commented when Luca finally caught up to her in his living room. She was watching the basketball match playing on his flat screen, as she stood behind the couch."Are you?" Luca countered as he walked up behind Kit and wrapped his arms around her waist.Kit shrugged and turned in Lu

"Are you two sure you know what you're doing?" Kit asked, her tone heavy with skepticism as she watched Max and Luca trying to get the grill started."100%," Luca answered in a confident tone as he carried on working."Max definitely doesn't know what he's doing," Gemma called over from where she was lounging in the sun. "Thanks for the vote of confidence, babe," Max answered dryly as he scowled at Gemma."Got your back, babe!" Gemma answered back before turning to Kit with a smirk.Kit shook her head with a laugh from her chair and clinked her drink together with Gemma's. "This is the life, huh?"Gemma nodded eagerly. "Who knew Connecticut was so beautiful! I was telling Max we should definitely look for something in this neighborhood so we can be neighbors! Of course, we'll need something a lot bigger."Kit snorted with laughter and looked at Gemma curiously. "Why would you need a bigger place than this? It's just the two of you." She gasped and looked down at Gemma's flat st
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 50: The Billionaire's Gift
Kit let loose a loud wolf whistle as she spotted Luca entering the closet behind her in the mirror. She let her eyes run down his body appreciatively as he paused on the threshold of the closet with a smile. Luca was clad in a black, custom-made tuxedo with his hair slicked back."Don't you look yummy," Kit purred as he walked over to her and placed a kiss on her bare shoulder, directly where it connected with her neck."You look pretty edible yourself," Luca complimented Kit with a husky voice. "We don't even have to go tonight," he continued as his eyes devoured Kit.Kit snorted and pushed Luca away gently, walking to another part of her closet to search for earrings. "We can do that when we get back - I want to go to the Opera. You promised me we'd make it there this time."Luca chuckled with a devilish smirk and stuffed his hand in his pockets. "I guess I'll keep my hands to myself then. I'd hate to break my promise.""For the third time," Kit tacked on distractedly as she car
