All Chapters of HIS DOE, HIS DAMNATION(An Erotic Billionaire Romance): Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Meadow’s POV: The time was past seven pm when I trudged down the spiral stairs, my head still aching slightly due to the aftermath of the concussion.Nova didn't stay too long. When we got to the house, she gushed and gushed over how fucking huge Alaric’s mansion was. And it was safe to say that she was about eighty-five percent sure that I was in safe hands with my ‘husband.’I hadn’t told her yet that I was going to agree to marry Alaric and accept the deal, but I was fully certain that she already knew.After Nova left, I’d spent the entire afternoon trying—and failing—to sleep because of how lost in thought I was. It was impossible to get my overthinking under control. Overthinking was a part of me. It’s one of the major reasons I hated being alone and didn’t waste any time to move in with Tyler when he’d asked.And now, with all the drama I’d experienced in just one weekend—the same weekend I thought I would be getting married—my thoughts were spiralling out of control.And I co

Alaric’s POV: A pulse of heat cracked down my spine and I felt my cock stir at the words Meadow had just uttered.Not just the words—the sound of her voice, the low rasp in her tone, the way her lips curved up in that shy smile? It all sent a current straight down to my cock, and I wanted nothing more than to give her what she wanted.“This is the second request you’ve made in two days, do you realize that?” I asked in a low tone as my gaze dropped to her hand on my shirt. I caught the way her fingers trembled slightly, and I felt my mouth twitch.Meadow was terrible at pretending that she was in charge. She tried to put on a brave face for whatever reason I didn’t understand, but I knew that deep down, she was terrified of what I could do to her.What I ‘would’ do to her.Meadow had no idea what she’d signed up for by giving up her body and innocence to me. And I was going to make sure she knew that.She peered up at me, her long lashes fluttering. Her eyes were a little unfocused.

Meadow’s POV: The first mistake I made the next morning was thinking that I could function like a normal human being.The second? Walking into that damn kitchen.I hadn’t gotten enough sleep last night. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw him—his head between my thighs, his mouth, his voice, the way I shattered underneath his tongue. The entire experience lived under my skin now, pulsing low and steady in every single nerve.So I did what I always did when my brain refused to settle. I went looking for caffeine.Wearing nothing but a pair of shorts and a tank top, I padded down the staircase and into the kitchen. My eyes felt heavy, and I hadn’t looked in the mirror yet, but I was sure my hair looked like a bird’s nest.I walked over to the kitchen counter, and there it was.The enemy.The sleek, modern, way too complicated espresso machine.I stood in front of it, blinking like it would suddenly start working out of pity because I had no idea how to work this thing.“Okay,” I whisper

Alaric’s POVMeadow was going to drive me completely insane.It’d been nearly a week since she signed the contract, and things around the house were relatively normal. Well, except for the fact that I had a woman as beautiful and sexy as she was living under my roof. I was barely at home because I had a lot of work to catch up on, but when I was around, it was impossible for me to take my eyes off her.She walked around in shorts that made her ass look like it was sculpted for sin. She was a little temptress, and it was obvious she had no idea how much she affected me.Or maybe she knew what she was fucking doing and was trying to get me to touch her. I hadn’t since that night I tasted her and made her come so hard with my tongue.That image was ingrained in my damn memory. And her taste?Incredible. Fucking exquisite.Meadow was either going to be my redemption or my destruction.But a good distraction from Meadow was being at the office. Not just for work, but to watch Tyler Cross

Meadow’s POV:“I-I was just…” I trailed off, feeling an intense heat creep up my neck and cheeks.Alaric’s eyes dragged over me slowly, and I shifted from one foot to the other. His gaze lingered on the lower part of my body for a second before his eyes came up to meet mine again. And back down.I risked a glance at what I was wearing—a red tank top that rode up a bit so a sliver of my stomach was exposed, and a pair of black shorts. This was my comfort outfit, but right now, Alaric stared at the shorts like they had offended him somehow.“Snooping around in my room?” he finished, walking into the room with a calmness that made my heart still. I didn’t move from my spot in front of the secret door. He tossed something onto his bed, and I turned just in time to see his phone bounce for a second and then stop. “That’s bad manners, Meadow.”“I wasn’t snooping.” My voice came out breathy, like a whisper. “I was just…”I stopped talking before I could expose myself. I wasn’t sure I wanted
