Chapter 251 Negotiation

The voice came from directly behind me.I jolted, my spine going rigid. I’d been sitting so long my legs had gone numb, and when I tried to stand, I wobbled precariously.A tall shadow fell over me, accompanied by the scent of my own shower gel. Strong hands slid under my arms and I was lifted effortlessly off the ground.My face was suddenly level with an expanse of bare chest, visible through the parted V of a black silk dressing gown.He’d showered.He was wearing a robe.Where did he get a robe?! Did he bring an overnight bag? Was the whole thing premeditated?Every coherent thought evaporated. My breath hitched, a purely physical reaction to the sheer, unabashed masculinity of him standing there, holding me, smelling of my bathroom and looking like every forbidden fantasy I’d ever tried to suppress.He carried me out of the room as easily as if I were the kitten, kicking the door closed with his foot. From inside, we heard a tiny, puzzled ‘Mew?’He took me to the master bedroom.H

Chapter 252 Decision Made

I slid off his lap and headed for the bathroom.Under the blast of the hot water, I did indeed think.I thought about his absurd, generous, terrifying proposal.I thought about the look in his eyes, which wasn’t manipulative, but horrifyingly sincere.I thought about the fact that nothing in life, especially not a man who looked like that and talked about marriage, was ever free.You couldn’t just ‘trial run’ a relationship with a billionaire CEO. There would be interest. There would be hidden fees. There would be emotional compound interest that would bankrupt your soul.I emerged from the bathroom after only ten minutes, a towel wrapped tightly around me, my mind made up.It was tempting, so wildly tempting, but no.‘Lochlan, I—’ I began, stepping out into the bedroom.The chair by the window was empty.He was gone.A wave of relief washed over me, so strong it made my knees feel weak.Good. He’d left. For whatever reason – maybe he’d come to his senses, maybe he’d gotten another urg

Chapter 253 No Need for Toys

His hands – those intelligent, commanding hands I’d watched sign billion-pound deals – were now doing something infinitely more devastating, mapping my skin with a reverence that made my breath catch.He was everywhere, and yet not quite where I needed him most, the exquisite torture of his patience drawing a thin, wanting whimper from my throat.Lochlan shifted his weight, his eyes never leaving mine as he moved between my thighs.‘I was there when you went inside The Silver Dove,’ he said, his voice a low, rough vibration that I felt in my own chest.What?I tried to speak, but he pressed a thumb against my lower lip to silence me.‘I watched you choose them,’ he continued. ‘I watched you wonder if they would be enough. I’m going to make sure you never have to look at a piece of plastic again. I’m going to make you forget you ever thought you needed anything else.’He didn’t wait for a response.He lowered himself, his chest brushing against my breasts with a friction that made my to

Chapter 254 Morning After

Lochlan came in, looking disgustingly fresh and put-together in a crisp charcoal suit, with Kai trailing behind him, tablet in hand.I pasted on a smile of professional blandness. ‘Morning, boss.’His pale eyes found me immediately. That was normal.What wasn’t normal was the way they held mine for a beat waaay too long.His gaze dropped to my mouth for a fleeting second before returning to my eyes, and a faint, knowing smile touched his lips.‘Morning, Hyacinth. You are in early.’ His tone was polite, but there was a new, low warmth woven through it, a private cadence meant for my ears alone. It was the vocal equivalent of a hand brushing the small of my back in a crowd.Kai’s cheerful ‘Morning, Hyacinth!’ was followed by a pause, and his next question had a perceptive edge. ‘You’re in before the sun’s properly up. Everything alright?’His eyes flicked towards Lochlan’s closed door, then back to me, curious and appraising.My brain, screaming for a diversion, seized on the first thing

Chapter 255 Potential for Addiction

The rest of the morning passed with an eerie, business-as-usual calm.It figured. Once Lochlan was in work mode, a troupe of naked showgirls could perform the can-can on his desk and he’d probably just ask them to move aside. His ability to compartmentalise was frankly supernatural.He had a client lunch booked. I promptly delegated it to Kai, citing ‘other pressing matters.’The moment the clock hit one, I was out the door. I grabbed a quick, solitary sandwich, then made a beeline for a pharmacy.Last night we’d used protection, but my internal calendar was screaming that I was slap-bang in the middle of my fertile window. I wasn’t taking any chances.I bought the little pill, tucked it into my bag like a secret, and headed back to the office.The executive floor was quiet. I went to the kitchen to make a coffee. My phone rang just as I was about to leave. Portia’s name flashed on the screen. I set my mug down and perched on a nearby stool.‘Hey,’ I answered.‘Darling,’ Portia purred.

Chapter 256 Birthday Party

The workday finally limped to a close.Just as I was packing up, my phone buzzed with a message from Portia: [Dinner at mine. Josh’s birthday. Be here or be square.]I typed back a quick [On my way], and headed for the lift.The footsteps behind me were measured and familiar. I didn’t need to turn around.‘Hyacinth. I was thinking dinner. There’s a new place in Mayfair I’d like to try with you.’I jabbed the lift button, staring at the descending numbers. ‘Sorry. Can’t. Prior engagement. It’s Josh’s birthday, I’m going to Portia’s.’I could feel Lochlan’s gaze on the back of my neck, but I refused to turn.The lift arrived with a soft ding. We stepped in. He stood beside me, his expression as still and unreadable as a frozen lake.When the lift stopped, he stepped out without a word.Was he mad? Or was he mentally adding another entry to his mysterious ledger?The drive to Portia’s took half an hour, not counting the emergency supermarket detour she demanded (‘We’re out of tonic! And l

Chapter 257 Not Here with an Agenda

Josh emerged from the kitchen. Portia thrust a sleek shopping bag into his hands.‘For you, birthday boy.’Josh’s face lit up with a smile so genuine it was almost blinding. ‘Portia, thank you!’ He peered into the bag, his delight growing. ‘Oh, wow! I love this brand.’He pulled out a soft, heather-grey cashmere blend sweater from a notoriously understated but exorbitant luxury label.‘Try it on,’ Portia said.He shucked off his apron, then grabbed the hem of his t-shirt and pulled it over his head.My eyes, entirely against my will, flickered across his exposed torso.Huh. I’d always thought of him as lanky, all long limbs and eager energy. But without the loose shirt, he was… surprisingly defined. Lean muscles corded his stomach and arms. He wasn’t bulky, but he was clearly someone who took care of himself.A low, quiet voice spoke directly into my ear. ‘Enjoying the view?’I forced my gaze down to my wine glass. ‘I wasn’t looking at anything.’Lochlan’s whisper was a private, velvet

Chapter 258 Cary’s New Girlfriend?

Lochlan merely raised a brow. ‘Good evening, Mr Grant.’Cary’s reply was just as cool. ‘Good evening.’His gaze, those intense eyes that had once commanded my full attention, shifted from Lochlan to me. They landed on the suit jacket draped over my shoulders, Lochlan’s jacket, and stalled there for a fraction of a second too long.A subtle tightening of his jaw was the only sign it registered.I offered him nothing more than a slight, impersonal nod, the kind you’d give a vaguely familiar neighbour.My attention was snagged by the girl at his side. She was staring at Lochlan with an unblinking, rapt fixation, a flush of excitement on her pretty cheeks.Lochlan said, ‘I thought you’d moved out.’‘I have,’ Cary stated, his voice flat. ‘I’m helping Janine settle in. She’s just taken a place here.’Lochlan gave a curt nod, the social minimum. I had no intention of talking.The lift arrived with a soft chime.Lochlan’s hand settled firmly on the small of my back, guiding me in. Cary and the

Chapter 259 A Child Trapped in a Woman’s Body

Noel called again.Straight to voicemail. Cary had switched his phone off.What the hell?Did Cary expect me to babysit his… whatever she was.Janine darted behind Lochlan and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist like a starving octopus.Lochlan’s eyes narrowed.I’ll give him credit, he only flinched a little.But the displeasure that settled on his features was immediate and profound.He reached down, pried her hands off. ‘No.’It was like telling the tide not to come in.The moment he stepped away, Janine just beamed and latched right back on, this time clutching his arm.He detached her again, taking a longer stride towards the sofa.She giggled and bounded after him.It was like watching a very tall, very expensive matador being chased by a jubilant, brightly dressed bull.I couldn’t help it. A snort of laughter escaped me.Lochlan shot me a look over his shoulder, those pale eyes narrowed. The message was clear: Help. Or you’re next.Alright, alright. Wiping the smirk off my

Chapter 260 Lochlan’s POV: Babysitting

The door clicked shut behind her, leaving me alone in the cavernous, silent living room.I stared at the blank wood for a moment, then let my gaze drop downwards.Swearing softly, I adjusted myself with a sigh of profound irritation.My phone, the culprit, still sat vibrating on the table. I scooped it up, my expression flattening entirely when I saw the name.‘Dad.’‘Lochlan, where are you?’ Holden’s voice boomed down the line, all breezy energy.‘In the City.’‘Duh, I know that. I mean whereabouts.’‘Why?’ I wasn’t in the mood for his rambling. I was in the mood for a very specific thing currently barricading herself behind a bathroom door.‘Your uncle Aaron just called me, all in a state. Says his daughter’s in London but apparently all alone. He just got a call from some guy claiming to be the building manager where she’s staying, says she’s agitated and crying her eyes out.’‘Is her name, by any chance, Janine?’‘How’d you know? You’ve met her?’‘You could say that,’ I replied, my
