LillyThis man. This song. This dance.The past drifted away, leaving me with the man who could fill my heart or tear it apart. And still, I let myself feel. Feel him and the song. Goosebumps danced over my skin and I raised my eyes to meet his and drowned in his gaze. At this very moment, I felt like I had it all while in his arms. The way he looked at me.Jesus.He paid twenty-five million dollars to ensure I danced only with him. I didn’t know whether I should think him crazy or fall at his feet and see where this would take us. If only it wasn’t so scary to feel something so strong. Deep down, I sensed this man could shatter me.Chance’s lips brushed against mine and a shiver ghosted down my spine. Would it be wrong to have him? Just for a few moments that would be mine forever. He’d forget me eventually, but I’d never forget him.“All your dances are mine,” he murmured, his lips moving against mine, and like in daze, and I nodded. I wanted to give him everything, but it scared me
LillySilence was heavy in the back of the limo as we made our way back to the plane. I checked my phone for messages and found one from my eldest. A selfie of herself going to sleep and some of my tension seeped out of me. There was another message from Noona saying all was well, everyone was asleep, and she was headed to bed too.Absentmindedly, I rubbed my arm when Chance’s hand came to mine, stopping my movements. Chance took my arm into his hands and examined the light bruises forming from his ex-wife’s grip.“Does it hurt?” he asked softly.“No,” I assured him. “It will be fine.”He examined it as he turned my arm over, his expression full of regret. “It’s starting to bruise. Fuck, I’m so sorry,” he murmured, pressing a kiss on the bruised skin, sending shivers down my spine.“It’s not your fault. It will be gone in a few days,” I reassured him, watching with fascination his tenderness. “I’m not made of glass.”And I had experienced much worse, I thought to myself.I glanced dow
LillyBuzzing in the cabin interrupted my thoughts.I looked around to determine where the sound was coming from, then looked at Chance with the question in my eyes.“I hear it too,” he commented. “Where is your phone?”“It’s in my clutch,” I looked around trying to remember where I left it. “Ah, here it is.”I grabbed it and pulled the phone out of it. Sure enough, it was my phone buzzing. Glancing at the caller ID, I noted it was Rick, Noona’s husband and my cousin-in-law. I slid the answer button, worry instantly squeezing my chest.“Rick, is everything okay?”“Yes, everything is fine,” he quickly assured. “I wanted to check on you and make sure you’re good.” I smiled into the phone.“Yes, all good,” I told him. It wasn’t like I would tell him I just had mind blowing sex with my boss, while he called me his slut. I cleared my throat, my cheeks warming up. “I'll be home soon. You shouldn’t be up so late.”“I’m getting ready to head to bed,” he assured me.My eyes landed on Chance,
ChancePossessiveness tightened its grip on me over Lilly Walker. Until tonight, I fooled myself into thinking I had some control over it.I had none.Seeing men eye her all evening, I had to fight the urge not to smash in all their heads. Including Byron’s, and the man always had my back. It would be frowned upon, even with all my wealth to back me up. Though seeing that motherfucker Jonathan, my ex-best friend who fucked my ex-wife and got her pregnant, touch my woman caused pure rage.Hell to the motherfucking no! When Lilly strode away from him, her head held high, I strode to Jonathan, calm and cold. Then my fist connected with his jaw, again, sending him stumbling onto his ass.“What the fuck?” Jonathan hissed, rubbing his jaw. “You already punched me once.”“For touching Lilly,” I growled. “And for bringing that unhinged woman around.”No other words were needed.I left him without a backward glance as I went after Lilly.The fact that I lost my cool around Lilly should have be
LillyMorning came too soon. With less than eight hours of sleep, I fixed extra strong coffee and rushed through getting everyone ready, including Noona’s boys. Noona offered to take the children to school, but I objected. It was my turn to give her a break. I loaded all the kids into my car, and we waved goodbye to Noona.At nine, I walked into Chance’s office with his cup of coffee and my own. I was not ready to stop sipping on my caffeine.“Morning,” I said as I set down his cup. He raised his head, and his gaze turned hot.Not sure how he had the energy to be turned on, because he got even less sleep than me.“Why didn’t you sleep in?” he growled.I raised my eyebrows. “Why, good morning,” I said, then leaned back against his desk. His gaze watched my every move. I placed my palms against the smooth surface of his desk. “And how are you this fine morning?” I mused.“Lilly,” he warned softly.“What?” I feigned a pout.He wasn’t amused. “I don’t have to ask you how you are. You’re t
LillyFriday and Saturday passed in a blur and steeped in delight. The sunny weather, my daughters’ laughter, and a feeling blooming in my chest made me happier than I’ve been in a long time.Sunday came around and with it Noona’s party. A celebration of her fortieth birthday. As I drove toward her house with our windows down, I couldn’t help but wonder where the time went. Life was short. Too damn short and I had wasted a lot of it already.When we arrived, her party was already in full swing. My second party in a week. My social skills are improving, I thought wryly.Just as I got the girls out of the car and headed for the garden gate in the back of the house, I ran into Chance.“Hello, Lilly,” he greeted me casually, while I tried to process whether my imagination was playing tricks on me.“What are you doing here?” I asked.Saoirse ran to him, like they were best friends and she had known him forever.“Hi, Chance,” Saoirse chirped. “So nice to see you.”“Now that is a greeting,”
LillyI placed my fingers into his big, warm palm and his hand closed over them. He didn’t release it once we started walking. Hand in hand we strolled through the backyard. I fought the urge to run, dragging him behind me. We were five feet from the house when his ex-wife stepped in front of us.She stared at Chance, desire shining in her eyes. Chance didn’t bother glancing her way, his arm wrapped around me and together we sidestepped her, leaving her behind us. His eyes were only on me, like nothing else existed in this world. It made me feel like something precious to him.Once we stepped into the house and the moment the patio door slid behind us, I gave into my instinct. I dragged him, rushing us both through the house, up the stairs, and into Noona’s guest room.An uncharacteristic wide grin marred his beautiful face. “Are you going to take advantage of me?” he teased, though his voice was too hoarse and his eyes dark, full of the lust reflecting in my own.I locked the door b
ChanceI couldn’t say I hadn’t known she would consume me. And fucking hell, did she ever!The image of her kneeling in front of me was tattooed in my mind forever. The moment her beautiful mouth wrapped around my dick, the word mine seared into my chest. There was no forgetting that shit. I could still feel her soft strands as I moved them out of her face so I could see my dick sliding in and out of her full lips. She was fucking perfection on her knees. The image of her looking up to me with her soft, hypnotic brown eyes haunted me all night. Of course, it didn’t help my dick. It hardened like marble - all it needed was a whisper of her memory and my cock was back in business.God, she was magnificent. So perfect, moaning as she let me fuck her throat. She enjoyed it and that alone made it ten times better for me.Resisting her was impossible. I wanted… no, needed to consume her like she was consuming me. My jealousy flared and went into overdrive with that woman. I didn’t like the
