"Okay." She tilted her head ready to listen to him. He knew for a fact that it wouldn't be two minutes before she interrupted him. Heck, it wouldn't be thirty seconds. He let out a breath and did everything to stop himself from kissing those pretty lips that looked tempting in her adorable pout.  "This is about ten years ago." "I'm not talking about that." She retorted. It hadn't even been ten seconds. "Gemma?" He raised an eyebrow to remind her that she had promised to be quiet until he was done speaking. He knew that this was hard for her. It was her sore spot and hell, he wanted to never mention it. However, he knew the consequences of not having this conversation so he was not going to let her speak. Because if she did, it would turn into an argument. She nodded and zipped her mouth but she was uncomfortable. The fact that she was ready to listen was a good sign so he continued. "I'll start from the day when my adorable

Livian took out an inflatable car mattress and she looked at it in surprise. He really was planning to move into his car. She got out to let him set up and he was done in a few minutes. The mattress had been set up onto the back seat and placed pillows on one end. It looked comfortable. "Do you sleep in your car a lot?" She asked as she settled in. He slotted himself beside her and pulled the soft blanket over them, holding her so she was trapped between the backrests and his body. "It's just a little habit I developed over the years." He lied. There was no way he would ever admit that he had parked his car near her mansion for many nights after she got married, spending the nights inside it just so he would feel closer to her. Although he had not tried to sneak into her house for any reason, that didn't make him any less of a stalker than Declan was and it wouldn't scare her any less. Luckily, she didn't probe. "It's comfortable here. So

"Two people whose brains are wired the same way cannot be together." She deadpanned. "Opposites attract. One of us has to be different."He didn't agree with her on that but he didn't express his opinion. It was what she thought and if he was being honest, what many people thought. He had thought that way for a while too, thanks to his parents. They were the epitome of fake marriages for business. They did not have an ounce of feelings for each other and having kids had been a duty for them. That was why Charles did not hesitate to start cheating on his wife soon after his marriage. Not that it made him any less of a jerk but there was no love between him and Beth. However, it was different with him and Gemma. He loved her. He had fallen in love with her long before she became a CEO so that would never do anything to change what he felt for her. He wanted to tell her that nothing could come in between them as long as they wanted to be together. It was abou

Three hours and three orgasms later, Livian set the food on the kitchen island and sat on the opposite side. "You're getting better at this." She shovelled a fork of pasta into her mouth and savored the taste. She was not just saying it. "Was I that bad?" He laughed dryly. He didn't think it was anything worth commenting on. If she thought it was much better, just how did it taste the first time? She chuckled. "I almost couldn't swallow it." He grabbed her hand and pinched it to punish her, then brought it to her mouth to kiss it. "If I was that bad, why did you still keep me?" "I knew there was something you were hiding. I wanted to keep you under my eyes." She confessed, since she knew what he was hiding now. He pressed a hand against his chest, dramatically feigning heartbreak. "Here I was thinking that it's because of my looks." She burst out laughing. "Don't flatter yourself. You are just so-so." 

She forced herself out of bed. Heaven knew she wanted nothing more than to continue sleeping but she couldn't. This was not her bed and she was the one who had made it clear that she didn't want to be in his bed aside from the two days she had agreed to. Was it too late to take that back? "I'll wash my face and join you." She muttered as she rubbed her eyes. "Okay." He said but continued standing in place. She returned from the bathroom a few minutes later, her hair as neat as it was because she made a mess of it earlier and the clothes on her body straightened out. He liked her messy look a little more but there wasn't much difference. In his shirt and boxer briefs, she looked nothing like the workaholic CEO she had become over the years. She was a lot like the little Gem he knew, tame, adorable and lovely. He loved both versions of her but this was easier to coax. He took her hand and led her out of the room. "I made a mess of
