“It's beautiful”

I'm staring at the gown laid on the bed. It is a silk, emerald masterpiece with a neckline that dips gracefully and a thigh high slit along one leg, concealing just enough to leave room for imagination. Next to it is a pair of silver heels and a matching clutch to complete the look.

“Only the best to highlight your beauty,” Grant says from behind me, his voice low and smooth.

“I couldn't possibly wear something like this…it probably costs a fortune.”

He waves a hand, dismissing my concerns as if money is but a trivial inconvenience. “Get dressed,” he says pointing to the elegant vanity table in the corner. “I'll be waiting downstairs.”

A ridiculous smile never leaves my face as I hum and dress up, careful not to damage the luxurious material.

As the vanity, my reflection stares back at me. I reach for a tube of lipstick and paint my lips red, satisfied with the bold new look. I look like someone who belong in Grant's world, even if it's just for tonight.

  • The CEO's Fated Nanny    22. The Fight for Control

    NovaOur lips are locked in battle.His tongue slides over mine in a dangerous dance as his body pins me to the wall. I can't move even if I wanted to. We are in a desperate display to see who will yield first and neither of us is backing down. I meet his aggression with mine, ignoring my racing heart and pushing my body into his.When he grabs my neck, tilting it for the best angle and shoves his tongue down my throat, a moan escapes me and he smiles against my lips. He's in control.But that changes when I bite his tongue.His chest vibrates with a growl as his grip on my wrists weaken and I take that as my chance.I push him off, getting ample space between us to catch my breath. But looking at this Greek god of a man with his rumpled shirt and a dark yearning in his eyes, all my self control goes out the window.“Fucking hell.”I cross the distance between us and grab his collar, pulling him into me. No need to bother fighting it anymore as his hands grip my ass, pressing my crot

  • The CEO's Fated Nanny    21. Push and Pull

    Nova “That was beautiful.” I freeze with my bow still midair. The intrusion is unwelcome and annoying so when I turn I am already frowning. I walked far from my parent's bustling hotel to escape the gawking stares I get whenever I play and to enjoy the peace and quiet I need to practice this piece. But of course someone still found their way to me. The curse of having to live at a place that is constantly being occupied by different guests. I roll my eyes and start cautioning what must be another nepo baby. “You know, you really shouldn't be out this far–” And then I see him. He's beautiful. The afternoon sun glows behind him and hits his dark hair perfectly as he stares at me with enchanting pale eyes and a wide smile. “Yeah the hotel managers warned me,” he explains as his eyes scan the field I have come to call my safe spot. “But I can't help it. I'm a rebel.” His smile is dangerously attractive and my heart skips a few beats. “Your violin,” he points to the instrument

  • The CEO's Fated Nanny    20. His Guilty Mind

    Theodore The room is empty.A frown immediately descends on my face and I take a glance at my wristwatch. It's far too late. She has never failed to return earlier than this on all the nights she went out.Nova has always been time conscious. It's almost like she's constantly counting down the seconds in her head. Even back then, every time we would stroll deep into the woods behind her parent's hotel she would take us back just in time for lunch.So when I stare at her empty room the fatigue vanishes and dread replaces it. I pull out my phone and dial her number. The calm of the room is quickly broken by a phone on her nightstand lighting up and vibrating. One look at the picture of Nova and her friend on the screen is all it takes to realize she left her phone behind.“Grant, for fuck sake,” I mutter darkly. I just know that fucker has done something. I dial his number. The ringing tone shouts through the silence of the house. It goes on and on until it stops. I dial again. No an

  • The CEO's Fated Nanny    19. Empty

    Theodore The door clicks to a close behind the private investigator, leaving me alone in the silence of my office with the file in my hands. The building hums quietly in the dead silence of the night. I should be at home, trying and failing to sleep. The file is slim. Nova hasn't been up to much. I sigh and open the page. I requested information about everything that went on in her life after the summer we spent together. Disappointment sets in when I read through it all. I paid good money for this but all the file contains is personal information I can find on her job application file. No criminal history and no court record. She had a normal life, a completely normal life after we happened. “So why is she being so fucking difficult?” I mutter, a little frustrated. I had hoped the file would explain the way she looks at me and the distance between us. The only things of note are that her family sold the hotel resort where we met and that she dropped out of school where sh

  • The CEO's Fated Nanny    18. The Club Scene

    NovaNova…“Nova!” Grant's voice pulls me out of my daze. We are out again, at a bar this time. One of those exclusive places Xander and I couldn't get into on a girl's night out even if we wore our most expensive clothes.So far he's taken me to dinner, a baseball game, an art gallery and wine tasting. I've been introduced to more CEOs and movie stars than I can count on my fingers.But horse riding with Theodore was a wake-up call that reminded me I've gotten nowhere in the plan. I don't have any new information on the company's secret. Instead, I have recurring memories of what being in Theodore's arms feels like. “Are you ok?” Grant shouts over the loud music with a bottle of vodka in his hand. “I'm fine,” I reply with a forced smile. “Just thinking about something that happened.”“Do you want to talk about it?”He's considerate, as always. He's been the perfect gentleman each night; helping me out of the car, pouring my drinks, keeping me involved in conversations when we run

  • The CEO's Fated Nanny    17. The Ride

    Theodore pulls off his shirt in one smooth motion, revealing his perfectly toned body. Water droplets slowly trail down his chest and collarbone, going lower and lower until they disappear into his trousers. I am drawn to each controlled and confident move he makes, wondering if he knows the effect he has on me. He probably does. He's no longer the tall, restless boy I once knew. His body has evolved with time and hardened by discipline. I can't stop looking. My mouth is dry. “Nova?” “Hmm? Sorry, what was that?,” I sputter, realizing that I've been staring. “I asked if you're ready to ride.” “Yes, I am,” I say and turn away quickly but not before catching the slow curve of his lips. Fuck. He gets on the horse in one smooth motion, brushing bodies with me. His hands stretch under mine and I stiffen up, wondering where this is going, but I am left feeling silly when he reaches for the reins instead. He clicks and the horse starts moving down the trail, behind Emile and Ethan's.
