All Chapters of Faking Forever With The Billionaire : Chapter 201 - Chapter 210

Lorraine’s breath caught, his direct question catching her off-guard. The ointment slipped from her hand and rolled away, completely forgotten.“Jesse,” she whispered. “You can’t just… you can’t call yourself my boyfriend to a stranger, carry me out of there, and then ask me this like you’re inviting me for coffee. My heart can’t handle this back-and-forth. I need something steady. I need to know… why?”He leaned a little closer, his eyes flicking to her lips before returning to hers.“Because I’m an idiot who took too long to see what was right in front of me,” he muttered. “But I don’t want to be that idiot anymore.”The space between them vanished. And this time, it was Lorraine who closed it.She leaned closer and kissed him. It wasn't soft or questioning; it was a desperate, furious transfer of all her confusion, her anger, and the undeniable attraction she'd been staging to be fighting for months. For one breathtaking second, Jesse froze in shock...then he kissed her back, his

Jesse opened his mouth to speak, but the well-rehearsed words seemed to evaporate from his mind. He hesitated, feeling a flush of embarrassment creep up his neck. He scratched the back of his head, looking awkward in a kind of cute way.He could command a boardroom, but he couldn't master a simple confession?"Sorry," he muttered, looking utterly flustered. "I’m not really good at this." He muttered again as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a neatly folded piece of paper."So I wrote it down." His hands trembled slightly as he unfolded it, preparing to read the words he had so carefully written down.Lorraine stared at him, stunned. Who writes a confession on a piece of paper? But that wasn't her concern. What concerned her was him. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. Was this really Jesse? The confident, always-calm Jesse… reading a love confession like a nervous teenage boy?Yet, the sight made her heart soften. She couldn’t stop the small smile that formed on her li

The kiss was a desperate, strategic move and for one breathtaking second, it worked. Alina’s dramatic sobs stopped with a small hiccup, her body going still in his arms. But as Aiden pulled back and searched her eyes, she immediately frowned again.“Why did you do that without me?” she sniffed, lips pushed into a pout.“I’m sorry, alright?” He muttered, brushing his thumbs gently over her damp cheeks. “I thought… it was just a small piece of advice that would help. Lorraine’s been giving my friend a hard time, and I figured making her taste a bit of her own medicine would help her understand how Jesse feels with all her silence.”He sighed, “How does that translate to me not loving you?""Because we're a team!" she murmured. "We scheme together! You went rogue! You created a whole... a whole Jesse operation without briefing your partner!" On the desk, her phone began to vibrate again. First: ‘MANDY.’ Then, a moment later: ‘MOM’Aiden glanced at the blinking screen and exhaled. His mo

For a long moment, the dining room was silent. Jesse stared at Lorraine, his eyes wide and unblinking. He was so shocked that the fork he was holding slipped from his fingers and landed with a soft thud on his plate. His mind seemed to stop working. His simple plan had been to introduce Lorraine to his parents so she’d have no choice but to play along… but now she had done the introducing herself? Did that mean he had to follow along too?Then, his mother broke the silence. She clapped her hands, her face lighting up with excitement. “I knew it! I just knew it!” she exclaimed, beaming like she’d won a prize. “Robert, didn’t I tell you? Our son has finally found a good woman after taking forever.”Mr. Hartmann looked at his son, gave a slow, proud wink, and then smiled warmly at Lorraine.Under the table, Lorraine’s foot found Jesse’s leg and gave it a sharp, secret kick.The shock seemed to snap him back to reality. He flinched and finally looked away from Lorraine to his smiling pare

Jesse broke the kiss, his voice rough, “We can stop it here... but if you don't mind, I can always go further" Lorraine didn't answer with words. Her mouth found the corded line of his neck, and she sucked gently, then with more pressure, tasting salt and him. A raw, throaty groan tore from Jesse's chest, vibrating against her lips. She pulled back just enough to see his dark eyes, “What does that tell you?" she breathed, the challenge clear in her whisper. It told him everything. In one fluid, possessive motion, he slid his arms under her knees and behind her back, sweeping her up against his chest. She gasped, her arms instinctively looping around his neck, holding on as he carried her from the living room, down the hall, and up the stairs. With each step, his eyes never left her face which was illuminated by the faint stairwell light. Her lips were swollen from his kisses, and her eyes were wide with trust and wanting. He shouldered his bedroom door open and crossed to the bed
