BreeI was still smiling when I reached the top of the stairs, and the moment I realized it, I stopped.Why was I smiling?I pressed my lips together and shook my head, annoyed with myself. Nothing about my situation was funny. I had agreed to secretly become involved with a man who was publicly engaged to another woman, and here I was walking through his house smiling like a fool because he had looked at me a certain way.I walked into my room and shut the door behind me before dropping my bag on the bed. Then I opened my wardrobe and immediately regretted it.What exactly was I supposed to pack?I stared at the clothes hanging in front of me. I had clothes, of course, but nothing that looked remotely appropriate for a billionaire gala in New York. Most of the decent pieces I owned were the ones Leslie had bought for me when I first started working for Aaron. The rest were comfortable, affordable clothes that I had chosen because they fit me and didn't require me to spend money I di

BreeI woke to a gentle tap on my shoulder. "Miss Carter?"I blinked, disoriented, slowly opening my eyes. For a few seconds, I had no idea where I was. The unfamiliar cabin, the soft lighting, and the faint hum of the aircraft all made me sit up in confusion.Then I remembered. New York. The gala. Aaron. His hand wrapped around mine while the plane climbed into the sky.My cheeks warmed instantly. I looked down at my hand as if I might still feel the warmth of his fingers there. I couldn't remember exactly when I'd fallen asleep, only that I'd been terrified during takeoff and he'd told me I was safe. Everything after that was hazy."We've landed," the flight attendant said with a polite smile."We have?""Yes, ma'am. Mr. Blackwood is waiting for you in the car."I looked around the cabin. Aaron wasn't there. My eyes narrowed. He had actually left me sleeping on the plane. He could have woken me up.I grabbed my bag and stood, more annoyed than embarrassed now, thanked the attendant

BreeBy the time we arrived, I had almost convinced myself I was prepared for whatever kind of party Aaron had brought me to.I was wrong.The house stood behind tall iron gates, surrounded by perfectly trimmed hedges and enough security to make me wonder if we were arriving at a private residence or a government facility.Warm light spilled through the tall windows, and several expensive cars already lined the circular driveway.Aaron's car had barely stopped before a man stepped forward to greet us. He looked to be in his late sixties, silver-haired with a neatly trimmed beard and the calm confidence of someone accustomed to important people listening when he spoke. The moment Aaron stepped out, his face broke into a welcoming smile."Alpha Aaron. I'm glad you could make it.""Richard," Aaron replied, shaking his hand. "Thank you for having us.""It wouldn't be a proper gathering without you."They exchanged a few more pleasantries before Richard's attention shifted to me, his eyes

BreeI fully intended to pay attention to the speech.Honestly, I did.Richard Hale was discussing the council's plans for a new development project, and judging by the way everyone around the table listened, the man could probably convince a room full of billionaires to donate their fortunes to a charity for stray cats. I tried to follow what he was saying, but concentrating was difficult when Aaron Blackwood was sitting beside me, looking as though he had never done anything wrong in his entire life.Which was particularly irritating considering what his hand had been doing beneath the table a few moments earlier.I shifted and reached for my water, determined to regain some dignity. My face had finally cooled down, and I was not about to let Aaron ruin that achievement by looking at me with those infuriating eyes again.Unfortunately, the universe appeared to have other plans for me."Are you enjoying yourself, Miss Carter?"I turned towards the voice and found Victor standing bes

BreeHe didn't wait for the words that wouldn't come.Aaron closed the last inch between us and took my mouth in a kiss that was nothing like the careful, measured man I thought I knew. It was deep and hungry, as though the restraint he'd maintained all evening had finally become too much for him to bear. His lips moved over mine with an urgency that stole the breath from my lungs, and when I parted them, he kissed me as though he'd been waiting for my permission far longer than he cared to admit.My fingers tightened in his shirt. The first brush of his tongue against mine sent warmth rushing through me, and I forgot every sensible argument I'd prepared.One hand remained at the side of my neck, his thumb stroking the frantic pulse beneath my jaw, while the other settled against my waist and drew me closer until there was barely any space left between us.I made a soft sound against his mouth, and his hold tightened.Aaron kissed like he did everything else, with an intensity that m
