All Chapters of The Billionaire's Sinful Affair (Book 2): Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

The morning sun broke through the gray Paris mist, spilling pale gold light across the floors.Emmeline woke feeling completely refreshed, the fog of jet lag lifting as eager, nervous excitement took its place.She slid out of bed while Zavian was still in the bathroom, looked over his side of the closet, and laid out dark trousers, black knit sweater, and his dark overcoat."These will match your coat perfectly, Zavian. You'll look amazing." Emmeline spoke when she felt his presence behind her.Strong, warm arms wrapped around her waist from behind and his chest pressing to her back as his chin came to rest on her shoulder. "Have you made yourself my personal stylist now?"Emmeline leaned back into him, closing her eyes, letting the scent of sandalwood and clean skin wrapped around her. "I like dressing you. It makes me feel like I actually belong in your life. Like we're a real team."Zavian turned her slowly in his arms, his sapphire eyes tracing every detail of her face. "I run th

Emmeline watched their feet moving in unison, a deep satisfaction settling into her bones. Yet, as her mind wandered back through the chaotic events that had led them here, a lingering question surfaced."By the way, how did Yuna find out about our relationship? How did she know we were at the restaurant and took that photograph?"The mention of his treacherous ex-wife caused an immediate, visible shift in Zavian's posture.The relaxed lover vanished, replaced by the rigid, formidable monarch.His jaw clenched, a muscle ticking beneath his skin as displeasure clouded his features. "It happened because of my carelessness."Emmeline let out a heavy sigh, gently tugging his arm to urge him to explain.For a being of absolute perfection and control to admit to carelessness was nearly unthinkable."I was caught up reviewing a case at the court until late, completely oblivious that Yuna hadn't left yet. The second I finished, I drove to your restaurant with my guard completely down. It neve

The camera shutter sounded softly in his hand as he kept taking photos through the kiss.Emmeline curled her fingers into the lapels of his wool coat, letting her eyelids flutter shut as she melted into the warmth of his mouth, completely surrendering to the dizzying surge of pleasure coursing through her limbs.When he finally released her lips, she stared up at him, dazed and breathless, her gaze fixated on the raw heat pooling in his clear sapphire eyes."You could've warned me so I was ready."Zavian stroked the warm skin of her throat with his thumb, his gaze dropping to her kiss-swollen mouth."The thought hit me in the moment." His breath brushed her lips, cool and intoxicating. "Your photo album needs some wildness. Sweet romance is fine, but we need proof of our passion too."A knowing, radiant smile broke across Emmeline's face. "Fine. I'll handle the romance, and you can take care of the reckless moments."Zavian nipped her lower lip with his teeth, capturing one last shutt

Emmeline pinched off a piece of the delicate sugar cloud and slipped it on her tongue.It dissolved instantly, coating her mouth with pure, warm sweetness that made her hum in delight. "It's so good."She looked up at Zavian, her hazel eyes dancing with contentment. "It's been years since I had cotton candy. I almost forgot what a real date feels like."She tore off another piece, a slight tinge of sadness touching her tone as her past resurfaced for a fleeting second. "Actually, I never really had a proper dating experience in the first place."Zavian looked down at her with steady, unyielding focus, the intensity of his stare laying claim to every piece of her. "It's better this way. I'm your first real man, and I fully intend to be your first and last in everything that matters."Emmeline smiled softly at the possessive edge in his words.She pinched off another fluffy bite and held it up to his mouth. "Try some."Zavian parted his lips slightly, letting her place the sweet treat o

The air cooled instantly, and Emmeline immediately touched his forearm with a contrite wince."I didn't mean anything bad by it."Zavian stayed quiet, studying the fabric between his fingers before she hurried to fill the silence."I'm just really picky when it comes to clothes. I never know what I'm looking for until it's right in front of me.I want something formal, but not stiff. Elegant for the dining room, but clean enough for the back of house. Not too flashy, but definitely not plain." She peeked at him sheepishly. "I'm impossible, aren't I?"The tension around his eyes loosened.Zavian let out a quiet breath, running a hand over the nearby hangers."Tonight is important for your brand. You deserve to look incredible. I'll just have to keep my temper in check." He reached into a rack of dark neutrals and pulled out a sleek black sheath dress with subtle ivory piping along the edges and a cropped matching jacket.The fabric had a slight stretch, featuring a mock neck with a sma
