I studied her.After everything Ashton had done to her, how could she still believe she had a chance? Even back in my high school days, when my infatuation with Rhys was at its peak, I would have turned against him instantly if he’d tried to make me sleep with another man pretending to be him.Yet here was Genevieve, confronted with my marriage to Ashton and my carrying his child, still utterly convinced she would win him over one day.Was she that arrogant, or just profoundly delusional?‘I want you to leave.’ My hand hovered over the call button.‘Wait! Don’t you want to know why Ashton has always protected me?’My hand stilled. That question had been a thorn in my side for a long time, but I refused to give her the satisfaction of knowing it bothered me.Genevieve leaned forward. ‘I’ll tell you. My brother died for Ashton. Ash gave his word that he would take care of me.’

His arm snaked around my waist, and in one smooth motion, he spun me around and pulled me back against his chest. My spine pressed flush against him, and I could feel the startling heat of his skin through our clothes. It was like fire, and it quickly began to burn away my own resistance.Was it the pregnancy making me feel this horny? My body was definitely telling me it wanted him, even if my head was still fighting it.‘I’d planned on the bedroom,’ he murmured, his voice low by my ear. ‘But if you prefer the bathroom, I’m happy to accommodate you.’‘I don’t prefer it! You’re the one who likes this, don’t put that on me.’Ashton nodded, utterly serious. ‘You’re right. I do like it. We haven’t tried the bathroom before.’‘I don’t want to! Let me out.’ I started to struggle in earnest, forgetting how dangerous that could be with a man already

But it turned out I wasn’t reading into it at all.That was exactly what he meant, as he made perfectly clear with his next words: ‘Do it more often.’I wanted to roll my eyes again.Could I say no?Before I could even form a reply, Ashton shifted me off his lap and back onto my feet, his expression utterly matter-of-fact. ‘I know you’re eager, but whatever you have in mind will have to wait until we get home. Doing that sort of thing in the office looks unprofessional. Let’s eat first.’His words made me burn with a mix of embarrassment and anger. ‘What do you mean, eager? What exactly am I being eager for?’‘What do you think?’ Ashton raised an eyebrow, his expression loaded with meaning. ‘Last night, a certain someone complained I was too demanding. And yet, after less than three hours apart, here you are, chasing me to the office, dressed like that.’My

The hospital room was quiet, the air stale with antiseptic.Looking at the phone after she’d hung up, I felt a surge of satisfaction that cut through the dull ache in my leg. It left me feeling sharper, more alert.Dominic pushed the door open and stepped inside.My smile vanished the second I saw him. ‘Well? Have you found her?’Dominic looked down, a flush of shame colouring his expression. ‘My apologies, Mr Laurent. Genevieve has… vanished. We tracked her phone to a public bin.’‘Keep looking. When you find her, I want her gone from Skyline.’ My voice was flat and cold. She was an irritant, a minor liability I should have dealt with sooner.Only a debt to her brother had made me hold back.Till now.‘Understood, sir.’While taking a hit from a woman like Genevieve was a galling blow to my pride, she was ultimately insignificant. I shifted focus, discussing L

His large hands swept me up without hesitation, and he kissed me back with a raw intensity.The air around us began to thicken with heat. I held onto his neck tightly, pouring all my longing into the embrace.The anxiety from my nightmares and the ache of waiting for him had left me desperate for reassurance. Feeling him solid and real against me was the only thing that could calm me down.His hands slid down from my waist, and when they reached my hips, he lifted me easily into his arms.He parted my legs and wrapped them around his waist. I instinctively clenched around him.My breathing was ragged, and so was his. His blue eyes were deep and blazing, fixed on me with an intensity that was almost unsettling. I didn’t look away. We stayed like that, lips to lips, eyes locked, completely absorbed.His gaze made my heart flutter, but I bit my lip and didn’t retreat.After a long moment, our lips parted slightly, and we rest
