Olivia

We stood there for several minutes, watching boats pass and lights dance on the water. Other couples strolled by, some arm in arm, others holding hands. To any observer, we probably looked like just another pair of tourists enjoying a romantic evening in London.

The thought should have felt false. Instead, it felt dangerously close to reality.

"Cold?" Alexander asked, feeling me shiver.

"A little."

"Let's head back. We can order dessert from room service. I know you didn't get enough food at the pub because you were too busy plotting Sophie's demise."

"I ate plenty!"

"You shredded your fish like it personally offended you. That's not eating, that's assault."

I turned in his arms to face him. "Fine. Dessert sounds good. But only if it's chocolate."

"Anything you want." His hands settled on my hips, holding me close. The streetlamps cast shadows across his face, making his features look sharper, more defined. Beautiful.

I went up on my toes, pressing a quick kiss to his

    Olivia"Get on the bed," he ordered, his voice rough. I obeyed, crawling onto the mattress. Alexander stripped quickly, his eyes never leaving me. When he joined me on the bed, his body covered mine, his weight pressing me into the mattress. "Been thinking about this all day," he growled against my neck. "About getting you naked and making you scream." His mouth moved down my throat, teeth scraping over my pulse point. One hand cupped my breast through my bra, squeezing hard enough to make me gasp. "These tits," he muttered, unhooking my bra with practiced ease. "So fucking perfect." His mouth closed over my nipple, sucking hard. I arched into him, my fingers tangling in his hair. He lavished attention on both breasts, alternating between gentle licks and sharp bites that had me writhing beneath him. "Alex, please," I gasped. "Touch me. I need you to touch me." His hand slid down my stomach, fingers hooking into my panties. "These are soaked. You've been thinking about my cock

    OliviaI finished my lunch leisurely before heading back toward the hotel. The afternoon passed quickly as I worked on some campaign materials in the suite's office, video chatting with Ava about design elements. At precisely three o'clock, my phone rang. "I'm downstairs," Alexander said when I answered. "Ready?" "Give me five minutes." I grabbed my jacket and purse, checking my reflection one last time before heading down. Alexander waited in the lobby, his tie loosened and jacket slung over one arm. He looked tired, but his face lit up when he saw me. "Hey," he said, pulling me in for a quick kiss. "Miss me?" "Desperately. I've been counting the seconds." "Liar." But he smiled, keeping his arm around my waist as we headed outside, where Geoffrey waited with the car. Tower Bridge was even more impressive up close. The Victorian Gothic towers loomed overhead, and intricate stonework and gleaming walkways connected them high above the Thames. "Ready?" Alexander asked as we ent

    Olivia"You're quiet," Alexander observed, watching me with those perceptive eyes that always seemed to see too much. "Just enjoying my fish," I lied, stabbing at the golden batter with more force than necessary. "Liv." "What?" "You're massacring your dinner." I looked down at my plate, where I'd reduced the perfectly crispy fish to shreds. "I'm just hungry." Alexander reached across the table, his hand covering mine. "She means nothing to me. That night was years ago and completely forgettable." "Didn't seem forgettable to her," I muttered, then immediately regretted it. I sounded petty and jealous, which was ridiculous because we had an arrangement. A business deal. His past hookups were none of my concern. "Sophie has always had trouble accepting that not everyone falls at her feet," Alexander said dryly. "Her husband is evidence of that. She collected him like a trophy and treats him like furniture." "She's married and still throws herself at other men?" I asked, genuinel

    Olivia"Alex?" she purred, tilting her head as her perfectly glossed lips curved into a smile. "Is that really you? I almost didn't recognize you in this... quaint little establishment." Alexander stiffened, his jaw tightening for a fraction of a second before his polite mask slid into place. He turned to face her, his expression carefully neutral. "Sophie," he acknowledged, his tone flat. "It is you!" She laughed, a tinkling sound that grated on my nerves. "God, how long has it been? Two years? Three?" Her hand landed on his shoulder, fingers trailing down his bicep in a way that was far too familiar. "You look absolutely delicious, as always." I felt my spine straighten, my grip tightening on my fork. Who the hell was this woman, and why was she touching my husband like she had every right to? "It's been a while," Alexander replied, pointedly shifting away from her touch. "Sophie, this is Olivia. My wife." The word "wife" hung in the air between us like a grenade. Sophie's eye

    OliviaAlexander was quiet for a moment. When he spoke, his voice was thoughtful. "What kind of legacy do you want to leave?" The question caught me off guard. "I don't know. I've never really thought about it in those terms." "Think about it now." I considered his question, my eyes still on the illuminated manuscript. "Something that matters, I guess. Something that helps people or makes the world slightly better." "That's admirably vague." I elbowed him gently. "What about you? What's your legacy going to be? Carter Enterprises expanding into new markets?" "That's my grandfather's legacy, not mine." He paused. "I'm still figuring out what mine will be." There was something vulnerable in his admission, a crack in his usual confidence. I turned to face him, surprised by the contemplative expression on his face. "We have time to figure it out," I said, not entirely sure why I'd said "we" instead of "you." Alexander's eyes met mine, something unreadable passing between us. The
