Skyline Lyrics

Clara posted a photo of her ultrasound on Instagram. "Thanks to your bloodline, I finally have my own little pup." I stared at the ultrasound. Ryan's name was written clearly in the field for the father. I typed a single question mark in the comments. Ryan called me immediately, screaming his head off. "Celine, what the hell is wrong with you? Clara is dying from silver poisoning. This was her final wish! Can't you show some damn compassion?" "Kaleb was my brother. He's gone, and it's my duty to look after his mate! She just wanted a pup to keep her company in her final days. Do you really have to be this petty?" I gripped my phone until my knuckles turned white. Clara was Ryan's childhood sweetheart. They grew up together in the Dark Moon Pack before she married Ryan's best friend, Kaleb. Six months ago, Kaleb was killed by rogues during a border patrol, leaving Clara a widow. Shortly after, she was diagnosed with late-stage silver poisoning. She has at most a year left to live. But I never imagined Ryan's "care" would go this far. A little while later, Clara posted a new set of photos. She was in a luxury high-rise apartment downtown. The city skyline stretched out beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the kitchen was bathed in a warm glow. "So glad you're here to make me feel the warmth of a home again." In the photo, I saw a man's back as he busied himself in the kitchen wearing an apron. It was Ryan. The sight was so familiar it made my eyes sting. I rubbed my stomach, thinking about the pregnancy I'd confirmed just two weeks ago. I suddenly let out a sharp laugh. This mate bond? It's time to end it.

I slide into the bath and let my muscles melt. My mind drifts—back to dinner, the city skyline glittering behind Tommy’s head. I close my eyes, biting my lip. One hand trails beneath the water, slow and lazy. I don’t mean to. But it’s all still so fresh—the way his hands felt on my skin, how deeply he— Except, it’s not Tommy I’m imagining anymore. It’s the doctor. Suddenly, it’s his fingers I’m imagining spreading me open. That cool composure cracking as he groans my name into my neck. “Oh, fuck,” I moan, breath catching as the orgasm rips through me like a shot of white lightning. My back arches against the porcelain. Water sloshes. “Dr. Cole,” I gasp before I can stop it. And then I freeze. What. The. Hell. **************************************************** He’s her gynecologist. Her client. And her boyfriend’s father. What could possibly go wrong? Beth thought dating Tommy was the start of something stable. Sure, he was cocky and impulsive—but charming, right? Until the red flags started piling up. The gambling. The secrets. The mood swings. The way he always blamed her when things went wrong. But then she meets his father. Dr. Stacy Cole. Silver fox. Calm. Collected. Everything Tommy wasn’t. And she already know him. He’s her OB/GYN. Her firm’s newest client. And the man who makes her body betray her every time he’s near. Beth knows she should stay away. But when Tommy starts spiraling and Stacy starts looking less like a boundary and more like a lifeline… she’s forced to face a terrifying truth: She might be falling for the one man who could destroy everything. Taboo. Addictive. Slow burning. Emotionally dangerous. This isn’t your average age-gap romance.

„Also… hat die letzte Nacht nichts bedeutet?“ brachte ich heraus. „Sie hat alles bedeutet“, flüsterte er. „Aber danach… konnte ich nicht weitermachen. Ich kann mich nicht über das stellen, was von mir erwartet wird.“ Das waren die letzten Worte, die mir Mr. Hot Billionaire Damian Lichtenberg sagte, bevor ich wegging. Der kalte, rücksichtslose CEO von Lichtenberg Media hatte mir nicht nur das Herz gebrochen – er sorgte dafür, dass ich wusste, dass ich in seiner glitzernden Welt niemals dazugehören würde. Also verschwand ich. Ich zog an die stillen Ufer von Lindau, baute mir ein friedliches Leben auf, das nur mir gehörte, und zog unsere Zwillinge allein groß. Emil und Leni – mein Ein und Alles. Ich erzählte allen, dass ich einen Samenspender genutzt hatte. Ich sagte mir, der Mann, der Erbe über Liebe stellte, würde uns niemals finden. Doch ich lag falsch. Fünf Jahre später steht er bei Sonnenaufgang vor meiner Tür und starrt auf die Kinder, die seine Augen, seinen Kiefer und sein Feuer geerbt haben. Wütend. Anspruchsvoll. Behauptet, ich hätte ihm die Chance auf Vatersein gestohlen. Aber ich erinnere mich an die Wahrheit, die er gern vergisst: Er hat mich nie gewählt. Er wählte seinen Status, sein Imperium und die Frau, die seine Mutter gutheißt. Jetzt tauscht der heiße Milliardär, der einst die Skyline der Stadt beherrschte, Penthäuser gegen Ferienwohnungen am See, Vorstandssitzungen gegen Schulwege und kämpft wie besessen, um zu beweisen, dass er der Vater sein kann, den unsere Zwillinge verdienen. Er schwört, dass er wegen ihnen hier ist. Ich habe Angst, dass er nur hier ist, weil er es sein muss. Und doch knistert jeder hitzige Blick, jede zufällige Berührung, jedes nachhallende Wort mit derselben gefährlichen Chemie, die uns beide einst zerstört hat. Mr. Hot Billionaire will mich wieder. Diesmal… wird er mich endlich wählen?
