Chapter: Chapter 38 – Spaaaaah!Nathan’s POVI turn my head as Amelie slips off her robe. Damn. I’m greeted by the most perfect perk ass I’ve ever seen in my life. Would it be wrong if I were to get up and bite it? I bit my lip and let out a faint cough.Both massage therapists enter the room and dim the lights. I hear the therapist speaking to Amelie and can’t believe it when she says she has never had a massage before. The way she carries herself, I always forget that she had a completely different upbringing from mine. She’s so elegant, charming, and refined. I make a mental note to ensure she’s booked for a weekly massage.Wait a minute, is that a male massage therapist she has? I requested a female one for her. No matter how professional he is, there is no way another man is rubbing his hands all over my Amelie. I motioned to Bernard, my concierge, and whispered in his ear. He motions for the therapist to switch places.The therapist starts the soft music, and I try to relax and enjoy the massage. Try is the op

Chapter: Chapter 37 – MudAmelie’s POV“What?” I ask, puzzled.He holds out his hand to me, and I tentatively take it. We head through a set of glass doors, and the smell is overwhelming. A strong odor of sulfur and earth hits my nose. I then realize there is a massive pool of mud.“Mud?” I question.“Yes,” Nathan smiles, “mud.”“Amelie,” Charlotte says, “we’ll get you in first. Please remove your robe.”I shyly untie my robe; Charlotte holds it up and gives me some privacy as I slowly descend into the mud. I still hold my arm across my exposed chest as a precaution. I feel Nathan’s gaze on my back as I enter the mud pit. The sensation is nothing like I’ve ever felt before. Warm and squishy mud slowly overtakes my senses. I’m covered up past my breasts, thank goodness. Nathan has entered right after me. I’m a little self-conscious about being topless, but the mud is so thick I’m sure Nathan can’t see anything, plus I have my back to him.“Turn around,” Nathan requests.I hesitate to turn but then spin aroun

Chapter: Chapter 36 – Getting Down and DirtyNathan's POV“Ok, Amelie, let’s go,” I grab her by the hand.“What? Where are we going?” She asks, puzzled.“Well, first, we’re going to take Grandfather back to his room,” I advise. “Then you and I have a date planned.”“But I want to be here when Zander returns from surgery,” Amelie states.“You will be. I spoke with Dr. Carrera earlier this morning. He said Zander won’t return to his room until at least 4:30 pm. So that looks like we have more than six hours to kill,” I answer.“Where are we going?” She questions.I push Grandfather towards the door, “Follow me, and you’ll find out.”Amelie starts following me down the hallway, and I look back at her. She’s probably not prepared for the day I will give her today, but I want to spoil her and pamper her. She needs to relax, and she’s definitely going to do that. I smile at her, and she looks curious.After we get Grandfather settled and say our goodbyes, I lead Amelie to the elevators by the hand. We get into the elevator, and I pres

Chapter: Chapter 35 – Surgery DayAmelie's POVI’m awoken by my alarm clock going off. It’s still dark outside, and I look around, confused. How did I get to this room? I rub my eyes and realize I’m in my room at Nathan’s. Did I pass out last night, and he carried me up?I slide out of bed and pad my way to the bathroom. I shower, then change into dark jeans and a cream-colored Aran knit fisherman’s sweater. I pull on my knee-high camel-colored boots that Nathan insisted I get and head down to the kitchen. Nathan is already in the kitchen and standing at the stove.“Good morning, sunshine,” he smiles.I stretch, “Morning, Nathan, what are you doing?”“Just making omelets for our breakfast,” he responds.“A Billionaire and a cook too?” I smile, “Man, I’ve hit the jackpot in the husband department.”Nathan lets out a hardy laugh as he’s plating up the omelets. “Service with a smile,” he says.I notice Nathan looking at my ring finger. I run my fingers over my hand. “I’m not wearing the engagement ring until we announce

Chapter: Chapter 34 - SignedAmelie’s POVI stared at the ring Nathan had placed on my finger. It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I don’t care what the contract says. I reached over, grabbed the pen, and flipped to the last page. I scribble my signature on it.“We didn’t even finish going over the details,” Nathan looked at me confused.“I trust you, Nathan. I know you won’t do anything to hurt me,” I announced.He smiles, and I feel his happiness deep down in my core. I feel like it matches mine at this moment. I almost blurted out all my feelings for him, but I stopped myself because I knew I would be making a fool of myself.Nathan popped open the champagne bottle and poured two glasses. “Well, this calls for a celebration,” he says as he hands me a glass of champagne. “To our upcoming wedding!”“To our wedding!” I exclaim, and we clink glasses.“So, what does our timeline look like?” I queried.“Well, I know Zander’s surgery is tomorrow. The surgeon said he would need at least 1–2 weeks after the s

Chapter: Chapter 33 – Sealed With A RockNathan’s POVAmelie is here, for good. I’m not letting her go. I can’t wait for us to say I do. I called ahead and had Henrique set up dinner for us to discuss the contract. I usher Amelie into the apartment, and she has a big grin.“What are you thinking about that to have you grinning so big?” I ask Amelie.“I’m just a little giddy that I get to live in an apartment with such a spectacular view,” Amelie says as she walks towards the living room window.“Oh, and here I thought it’s my companionship that was the enticing thing,” I joke, “You have mortally wounded me.” I put my hand over my heart like I’ve been stabbed.Amelie turns towards me and laughs, “Oh, Nathaniel. You’re so dramatic.”“What did you just call me?” I cock my eyebrow at her.“Nathaniel,” she giggles.“Oh really,” I walk towards her.She shrieks and runs off towards the kitchen. I follow hot on her heels. Her giggles as she tries to outmaneuver me are the cutest thing. I reach her as she’s rounding the kitchen islan
