The Tycoon's Leading Lady 43. How the Night Ended
CORVINThe windows were foggy, and the air inside the car was warm and thick. I stayed close to Kayla for a minute, just listening to her breathe. Every time we’re together like this, it feels like the world stops.Finally, I moved back. The cool air from the AC hit us, and I saw her shiver. I grabbed her dress from the floor and handed it to her."We should get moving," I said, my voice a bit raspy. "As much as I’d love to stay here, this road isn't as private as I pretended it was."Kayla laughed softly and started getting dressed. "You’re the one who said no one would see us, Corvin.""Yeah,” I replied. “I lied because I wanted you," I teased, climbing back into the driver’s seat.Once she was buckled in, I started the car and pulled back onto the road. The headlights cut through the dark woods. For a while, we were quiet, just enjoying the peace. But soon, I started thinking about what happened on our last night in Thailand."I’m still annoyed about Derek," I muttered, shaking my
The Tycoon's Leading Lady 42. Car Fun
KAYLAHis lips devoured mine in an instant, and my insides went wild. The air from the AC was cool, but it was nothing compared to the heat radiating between our bodies. I missed his lips. I missed his touch. I missed being intimate with him. More than anything, I just missed him."Corvin..." I breathed, the name hitching in my throat as his lips traveled to my neck. He began nibbling at the sensitive skin just below my jaw, his teeth grazing me in a way that would surely leave a mark. "Someone... someone might see us here."He paused, pulling back just enough to look me in the eyes. His gaze was dark, heavy with a hunger that made my knees weak even while sitting. "It’s a road rarely used, Kayla," he murmured. "No one will care if we’re parked here or what we're doing."I glanced out the window at the lonely, dark road. Not a single pair of headlights broke the darkness. It was just us and the quiet hum of the night."Okay," I whispered, the word barely audible as I reached out, thr
The Tycoon's Leading Lady 41. The Road Less Traveled
KAYLA The night dragged on without Corvin and me ever getting a chance to talk alone. We were constantly surrounded by Jordan and Casey. We were like strangers meeting for the first time. We acted as if we hadn't spent countless intimate hours together, and as if his finger wasn't inside me just a while ago. This situation was slowly driving me crazy. I couldn't tell if Corvin even wanted to talk about us right now. He has this facade that I couldn't seem to break through. It felt like there was a locked door deep inside him. No matter how hard I knocked, he seemed to have no desire to open it for me. I began to tell myself that I should probably stop trying. At least for now. “It’s getting late,” Casey suddenly murmured, glancing down at her gold wristwatch. Her comment made me instinctively check my phone for the time, since I wasn't wearing a watch myself. She was right; the hours had slipped away. I have a shoot early tomorrow, so I knew I really needed to get home and get
The Tycoon's Leading Lady 40. Love and Dreams
KAYLA I went back to the dining room and found them laughing. I tried to smile as I sat back down in my chair and asked them what was so funny. "Oh, we were just talking about how crazy Jordan acted when he realized he was in love with me," Casey replied. A happy, bright smile played on her lips. I knew that story well. I remember how they kept going back and forth for months, never really sure what was happening between them. While Jordan talked to his friends about it, Casey always confided in me. I loved the moment when she finally realized she loved him. It was like magic, bringing a whole new world of emotions to her. I was there for it all. I witnessed the exact moment she told me she thought she had finally found "the one." I was so happy for her because I could see she was right about him. "I’m not ashamed of that at all," Jordan said with a grin. He pulled Casey toward him and placed a soft, sweet kiss on the side of her head. My heart warmed at the sight. They looked so
The Tycoon's Leading Lady 39. Contemplating What's Next
KAYLA The air in the dining room felt heavy and still. I tried to focus on my plate, pushing a piece of steak around with my fork, but my appetite was gone. Every time Corvin moved next to me, a jolt went through my body. I kept my eyes on the white cloth on the table, pretending to listen to my sister and Jordan talk. Everything sounded far away. I was only aware of him–the smell of his skin and the heat coming from his seat. Then, I felt his hand. It landed on my thigh with a firm weight. It was not a light touch or an accident. It was strong and sure. My breath caught in my throat, and I went perfectly still. I waited for him to move, thinking he might just be shifting in his chair, but he stayed right there. His fingers began to move in slow circles against my skin. I closed my eyes for a second. My heart beat against my ribs like a trapped bird. I told myself to stay calm. I told myself not to show any emotion. But Corvin was not finished. His hand began to slide up, moving u
The Tycoon's Leading Lady 38. Secret Touches
CORVIN The moment I stepped through the front door, the smell of garlic and grilled steak hit me, but it wasn't the food that made my head spin. It was her. Kayla was standing by the dining table, her hand gripping the back of a wooden chair like she needed it to stand straight. I felt the air leave my lungs. I had spent the last few days seeing her on billboards and thinking about her almost every time. She's wearing a deep green silk dress that draped over her curves like it was made specifically to ruin my sanity. The color made her skin look like glowing gold. She looked soft, elegant, and so incredibly hot that I had to remind myself how to breathe. It’s not the "movie star" version of her, it’s just Kayla. And she’s breathtaking. "Hey, man! Come in!" Jordan’s voice boomed, breaking our contact. I forced my feet to move, taking off my jacket while my eyes stayed locked on hers. "Hi," I said. My voice sounded lower than usual, thick with all the things I wasn't allowed to say
The Tycoon's Leading Lady 37. Longing Looks
KAYLAThe shift from my movie set to my real life felt strange. Just days ago, I was standing in fake rain, holding Derek’s flowers while my skin crawled. Now, I was at home, getting ready for a night that actually mattered.Tonight wasn't for the cameras or the fans. It was about Casey’s dinner pa
The Tycoon's Leading Lady 36. At Its Fakest
KAYLAI was back at our set and it was such a different vibe from the vacation I had in Thailand.Ocevara resort offered me a wonderful escape–away from the prying eyes of my critics, from the tension the director brings whenever we don’t finish a set on time, the constant pressure to be the movie
The Tycoon's Leading Lady 35. The Invite
CORVINThe glass walls of my office usually offered a sense of power, a panoramic view of the city that reminded me I was at the top of the food chain. Today, they just felt like a cage.I stared at the stack of acquisition reports on my desk, the texts making me want to just close my eyes and go t
The Tycoon's Leading Lady 34. Teas and Plans
KAYLA“So, how was your brand trip to Thailand?” Casey asked with a bright smile. She leaned forward and carefully poured some warm tea into my cup.The moment I returned home, she was the very first person I wanted to see. I missed my little sister so much while I was away. More than that, I despe
