MYKEL My wife was pissed, like really, really pissed at me right now—about to burst into flames. So did I. “Do you think this is a joke? Well, I can handle this, but I chose and agreed with Grandpa because we trusted you, and I respect you as my other half. You can politely decline our offer and move on, and I will take the position for his sake.” I stared at my wife in shock. I couldn’t believe what I had just heard. Days ago, she was adamant about a payback. Right now, she was like another person that I had just met. “Why me?” My gaze flew between them. “I have no easy way to say this, but I trust you can handle two seats, CEO of both major companies. Because I can’t throw it at someone, not my blood, and I don’t fully trust. Call it nepotism, but this corporation is my sweat and blood.” “I am missing something here. And I don’t even have a share in your company.” “Once I get my inheritance, I’m selling it to you.” I glared at my wife. “Are you crazy?” “Better with you than

ADLEY“Isn’t this what you want?” I felt hurt. My ego was bruised. We’d waited for weeks, and this was how it ended. What was the matter with him? Had he changed his mind? Did he find someone already?“Yes, and every inch of you, but not when you are like this.” He tentatively pulled me into his arms again, but this would not happen again.“Don’t touch me.” I dragged myself out of bed.“Baby, wait.”“I’ve waited long enough.” I stomped my way to the bathroom. Soak in the tub might clear up my head and ease the ache between my thighs.I stripped off my clothes one by one. If this were some kind of a hormone that made me crazy with needs, then I would deal with it. I turned on the faucet. Even if it just started to fill in, I went inside.Being so turned on and angry was not a good combination. It made me want to break everything around me. I poured some bubble soap in and rested my head. Then I felt him.“I know you’re mad at me.” His words were calculated. He should be because I was n

MYKEL We stayed in the tub for a while. My raging cock was still hard as steel. Even if I was losing my shit and wanted to take Adley right now, I pulled myself together, allowing my brain to rule for a while. I pulled the spray and pointed it at her as I rinsed her clean. “I can help you with that.” Her voice was still low and shaky from her orgasm. Despite my unattended needs, I could still comprehend what she was trying to say. “I’ll be fine.” I chuckled. “Can I ask you something?” “Is that something making the situation awkward?” “No, baby.” She turned to face me. “Go ahead.” I looked into her eyes. The sparks of anticipation were present. “Will you go out on a date with me?” Judging by her reaction, she wasn’t expecting it. “Oh, even if we’re already married?” “We can still go out on a date and have fun.” “We had dinner before.” “This time, it’s different. You know my feelings about you. So?” She smiled. Flush crept up her ivory skin. “Okay. Where are you taking me f

ADLEY I may have been born with a golden spoon in my mouth, but life was not easy for me. It was difficult for someone with the impression of a brat. Nobody saw the struggle of a rich kid—I didn’t experience a lot of things as other average girls had. I didn’t have a great childhood. I didn’t have good boyfriend-girlfriend relationships. As soon as they discovered I was Lex Kross’s granddaughter, all they wanted was to impress me, which I hated the most. But I was still grateful despite those failures. But this man whose arms wrapped around me as we came to the last part of the tour—his study room had succeeded in impressing me. I always appreciated simple things like what he did with the space. He gave me a small space to put an office for me. “That art looks familiar.” There was a similar copy of the line art on the wall. “Don’t hate Blaze and me.” “That looks amazing on the wall. Thank you.” “Let’s go to see our room.” As he opened the door wider, my pulse raced instantly.

MYKEL That was the best sex of my life—it was different, exceptional. I pulled the duvet over her naked body as she curled into a ball. She fell asleep right away before we could talk. It looked like we were okay since she was not running away from bed or telling me this was a huge mistake— it won’t happen again speech—shit like that. I dragged myself out of bed no matter how I wanted to take her again. I went to the study to follow up on Dash. I dialed his number and turned my laptop on. “Hey, man. How’s Adley?” I told him I had an emergency and that it had something about my wife. I was right, after all—a lot going on when I arrived. “She’s fine. She was with her grandfather and stayed for the night.” “Am I gonna be an uncle very soon?” I chuckled. “Adley said you’re very optimistic.” “And handsome than you.” “Shut the fuck up. But yeah, that sounds great. Even Lex wants a great-grandchild.” “So the old man has finally come to his senses that you and Adley are perfect for

ADLEY On Monday, Mykel dropped me off at my office. Of course, he caught everyone’s attention as if he was the leading man in a new sexy rom-com movie. This time, he smiled and waved at my team instead of being on his cocky swagger persona. “How’s your weekend, everyone?” “Hey, Mr. Creed,” my employees in unison. “Not every day we got a visit from a billionaire, ex-playboy philanthropist.” Blaze joined us. “How are you, Blaze?” They exchanged pleasantries. “I’m great. How are you?” Blaze turned to me, inspecting me from head to toe. “You look great, Adley.” “It’s because I take care of my wife.” Mykel slipped his hands into his pocket. A brow raised from Blaze with a slight nod. “I can see that now.” “Anyway. Baby, can I take you to lunch later?” I rubbed the back of my shoulder. “It’s Monday. I have a lot of work to finish. Our clients are piling up.” Mykel looked around. “You needed to expand your area and hire manpower.” “I agree,” For the first time, Blaze was with M

MYKEL “You’re upset.” I took off my suit and watched her undress in silence. It was a pleasant dinner until Lex opened up about expanding a family. I didn’t take it as a burden. A pressure, maybe. In fact, I wanted to have a family with Adley, but I wanted us to be on the same page because this was a lifetime responsibility. Considering what kind of past I had, I wouldn’t want to raise my child alone. “I’m fine.” Adley’s necklace was stuck in her dress, and she struggled not to damage what Mom gave her and the dress. “I’m here, baby.” I went to her. “Asking for help is not a flaw.” “Who said it’s a flaw?” “Let me.” The clasp was stuck into the lace of her dress. “Done.” Once done, she put a sweater on and left the walk-in closet after hanging her dress. I changed into sweatpants and shirts. Then I went to the office. I knew I would find her there. “You can use the desk.” Her laptop was on her lap as she typed something, her eyes glued to the screen. “I’m fine.” “But we’re

ADLEY It had been a week since we didn’t sleep together. Every time he started kissing me, my excuse, I was not in a mood. I admired his patience, and he never forced himself into me. Deep in my heart, I felt terrible for him, but as long as he would not throw the condom in his drawer, we were not having sex. Call it childish, but I wanted to teach him a lesson, and that condom was his idea. We were good, though. In fact, we were great. We started talking about planning a family in three or four years. Life was good either way. Kaelie knocked and came in. “Someone here insisted on talking to you, Adley.” “Who?” I lifted my gaze from the screen of my laptop. “Me.” I was on my feet before I even realized it. Icy seeped through my veins as if I’d seen a ghost. “What are you doing here, Gary?” “I just wanna talk to you. I can’t get close to you if you’re with Lex or Mykel. You blocked my number, too.” That was the whole point. I didn’t want to talk to him. Yet he still did not get

MYKEL Rage blinded me that I could barely grip into my self-control. I was mad at myself for not being there to keep her safe. I was beyond furious at Gary fucking Merick for assaulting my wife, but no matter how I wanted to blame Adley for not telling me, I couldn’t. I couldn’t even yell at her, and I could barely look at her for the guilt I felt inside. Somehow, I blamed Lex, and I blamed myself even more. “Just get it over with.” She was undressing herself. “Scream out the rage and anger inside your chest. It’s my fault that I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to get in trouble.” “So I should thank you for doing me a favor. Is that it?” I grunted, asking her sarcastically. “I know how you feel about Gary, Mykel.” “We’ve talked about keeping secrets, yet here we are again.” I threw my hands in the air. “If your assistant didn’t call the cops and me, you would have been hurt, Adley. Do you know how it feels watching someone I care about get hurt? Of course, you don’t. A

MYKEL“Yes! Yes, please?”“Then be a good wife, Adley!”“I told you, you can’t make me submit to you.” Her voice was resisting, but her body was submitting. I could feel her giving in to her pleasure. She was dripping wet, her pussy lips swelled, and her clit was hard as a diamond, begging to be fondled.“We’ll see about that. I know you want to be the boss of your life, but you are married to me. I will always take care of your well-being, including keeping you safe and satisfying your needs in bed.”“You’re awfully chatty in bed tonight. Either we talk or continue what we started. But we can’t do both.”“Then be stubborn, or you won’t come.”“If you deny me, I might have to invest in sex toys. You know it’s a thriving business. People get creative in bed. And you asked me once for a butt plug. I could design one, maybe a shape of your tiny—”“Tiny what?” She got a spank from me.She moaned louder, and the grip on the sheets tightened as she pushed her ass upward. I knew what she was
