Sapphire's POVWhy is that woman here so early in the morning? And what business does she have with Eric? What kind of woman storms a married man's home at such an ungodly hour? That bitch sure has got some nerves! What the hell could she want? I bet she's here to ruin my morning or make me agitated like her presence always does. She obviously can't stand the thought of seeing me with Eric. It's no wonder she was absent at our wedding.I felt a knot of anger forming in the pit of my stomach and it made me clench my fists around the sheets. I already didn't like her and now she was interrupting my intimate moment with Eric. And that too, so freaking early in the morning. I wanted to scream, to tell her to go away but I couldn't. I was still pinned underneath Eric and his fingers were still teasing and stroking my nub. I moaned involuntarily, clearly enjoying what Eric was doing to me but the thought of Sophia being here contrasted it.The mere mention of that woman's name was enough to

Sapphire's POVI felt blood drain from my face as I struggled to find the words to defend myself. How could this have happened? I hadn't even seen the necklace, let alone taken it. What the hell was going on? Panic clawed at my chest while I stared at the necklace in Mrs Donovan's grasp, searching for an explanation but nothing came."You sneaky little thief!" Eric's mother boomed, stroking her jewellery. "Why am I not surprised at your despicable behaviour? You're a lowlife after all, a half-baked wannabe. You'd do anything to get a taste of the good life. As if trapping my son wasn't enough, you had the effrontery to steal from me.""No! I didn't...I swear I didn't take anything! I didn't steal that. I have no idea how it got in my purse! You have to believe me. I'm innocent!" I finally found my voice, breaking my silence.Patricia scoffed, "First you were going on and on about not knowing anything concerning my diamond necklace. Now that you've been proven to be a thief in front of

Eric's POVMy mother's glare was frosty but her usual poise was cracked by the situation which had now spiralled out of her control. Her nostrils flared like they belonged to a bull ready to charge through a wall and her blood red lips twisted into a nasty snarl but she was obviously cornered. With the evidence now questionable, her credibility was slipping away as fast as the crowd's whispers were growing, faster than gossip spread in a high school locker room.The manager's stupid face turned a shade paler, if that was even possible. His skin was like delicate china about to crack under pressure. I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy seeing the son of a bitch squirm. He'd think twice before pulling a stunt like this ever again with anyone else. I saw his Adam's apple bob as he swallowed hard. Sweat poured down his skin, his breathing becoming heavier by each passing minute. The audience of onlookers was silent, watching intently while waiting for the next act in this absurd theatre.

Sapphire's POV"Is there something else you need, tigress?" Eric asked, moving an inch closer to where I stood facing him.Tigress. The name felt honeyed in his tongue, in his deep and gruff voice. Although I never admitted it to him and probably never would, I loved it when he called me that. I'd always had. It made me feel special, made my belly tingle with heat and had me all fluffy inside. The worst or best thing it ever did to me was make my hormones rage and make me involuntarily wet my panties a little.Eric was always so charming, so hot, so goddamn irresistible. Everything about him exuded sensuality and sex, his looks and physique screamed "Worship me". From the start, I had been drawn to him because of his tremendous sex appeal and for the longest time, I had been in denial. And now, it wasn't just his sexiness that pulled me closer to him and made me want to be with him. It was so much more than that now.I was in love with him and I wanted him to know.How could I not be

Eric's POVAfter finally admitting to myself that I was hopelessly in love with Sapphire, I felt a weight lift off my shoulders. She was still asleep, looking peaceful and utterly beautiful. I wanted to do something special for her, something I'd never done before—make her breakfast in bed before I told her how much I fucking loved her. The idea had me grinning like an idiot. But there was one little problem. I didn't know shit about cooking.Still, I was going to give it a shot. How hard could it be anyway? I had faced down boardrooms and negotiated million-dollar deals in my sleep. I had earned my first billion dollars without a dime from my family. Cooking should be a piece of cake. I slipped on a shirt and sweatpants. I gave my tigress one last kiss on her forehead before tiptoeing out of the bedroom.I strode into the kitchen and damn, I'd never realized how foreign this place was to me than the surface of Mars. The plan was simple: scrambled eggs, bacon and toast. Tigress was go
