110|Feels Like Home
For the second time that night, Eden stormed her way to her house, beyond furious with Liam, determined to shove him off her couch and make him sleep on the floor.
But when she saw him, still sleeping peacefully, a slight flush on his cheeks and ears, she didn't have the heart to follow through with her nefarious plans.
She grabbed the only photo of her and Aiden in the room from the TV stand and took it to her bedroom in case Liam woke up during the night. She wanted no mistakes.
Eden was exhausted, but she took a quick shower anyway, changed into an old sleep shirt, and went to bed.
But after tossing and turning for two hours, she kicked off the covers and rifled through her linen cupboards for a pillow and a light blanket.
As much as she wasn't thrilled to have Liam over, she hadn't forgotten her manners. After all, he's Aiden's father, and she had to make him comfortable, she reasoned as she headed back to the living room.

Like clockwork and still mildly inebriated, Liam's brain nudged him awake sometime after 3:00 AM. But unlike all the other times in the past, when he'd jolt out of sleep, ready to tackle his day, today he woke up parched and convinced he had been dead for more than a century. Every part of his body ached, plus he had a banger of a headache. He groaned as he opened his eyes and saw luscious brown hair fanned out over his arm. Eden. His hell. His paradise. Why was she in his house, again? Did he drunk call her? And did she come to him? Left the lawyer for him? He remembered chatting to her on the phone and her giving him sass, but after that? "You're awake," Eden stirred and turned to him, squinting up at him. Christ, even in the dark, she was beautiful. And her eyes were all the more mesmerising when they were not hidden behind her glasses. "Are you hungover?" She mumbled sleepily and nestled clos

Liam was locked away in back-to-back meetings for a large part of his day, so he didn't get a chance to see Eden. But, he sent her countless reminders about their dinner with Vic Randolph, the founder and CEO of Lusso. By the time he left Anderson Logistics, after his last meeting with an out of town client had gone on longer than he had wanted, the building was already half empty. Eden, too, was long gone, even though he'd expressly asked her to stay behind so he could brief her on Randolph's wife. As he made his way to the car waiting for him at the entrance, Liam asked Clara to contact Eden and make sure she was at the venue at the very least. His assistant tried a few times, but Eden's phone went unanswered. "I can't reach her, Sir." Clara wore a frightened expression on her face as she turned to him, her shoulders slumped in defeat. "I figured as much," Liam drawled and firmly glued his eyes on her, refusing to let her off. He pai

The five of them crowded around the window and stared at the line of dark luxury cars parked on the curb. Eden counted four, including Liam's. She couldn't understand why he had to make a dramatic appearance again today and bring his security detail. She was already the talk of the neighbourhood because of his stunt last night. Curious neighbours had stopped by during the day to ask Brenda if they'd had a celebrity guest. "Does he always travel with so much security?" Lydia asked. "Well, if you were a billionaire, I don't think you'd want to fly solo. Not when there's a very real chance you could get nabbed at any time and be held for ransom," Cassandra said, saving Eden the trouble of having to explain that her baby's father wasn't a very nice guy and had pissed off a lot of people, including the Ivanov twins and Rock Castle's underworld. "Do you think he'll come back? He sounded mad as fuck!" Sienna nudged her shoulder and chewed on her thumb, her e

They spent almost an hour at Nicci's going through their formal dress collection. Eden would have been done in five minutes if she was on her own, but Liam wasn't satisfied with any of the dresses she tried on. She eventually settled on a black ruched racer-front neck midi dress and paired it with Jimmie Choo heels and a matching clutch big enough to house her phone, keys and lipstick. By the time Liam walked into the changing room, Eden was all dressed up and ready to strike her first business deal. Their eyes collided in the mirror and held ever so briefly before his gaze lazily caressed her from head to toe, a small smirk pulling at his lips. "What are you doing here?" Eden asked as she turned back from the mirror to scowl at him, wishing she could kick herself for blushing like a schoolgirl at the hint of approval she saw in his eyes. "How did they even allow you in?" Wordlessly, Liam crossed the small space and kissed her, his han

The owner of Lusso, Vic Randolph and his wife Kayla were already seated and nursing their martinis when Liam strolled into La Famiglia with Eden at his side, her hand firmly in his. The two men got down to business as soon as the introductions and pleasantries were out of the way. Eden played the role of hostess to perfection, going over and beyond to be attentive to Randolph's wife as she catered to her every whim and need. Kayla Randolph was a pretty little thing and half the man's age, but with enough plastic on her face and body to fill a landfill. Liam liked her, though. She was affable and well mannered. Not at all like a lot of the trophy wives he had met in the past. Every time he looked up from his discussion with the owner of Lusso, he'd find Eden and Kayla deeply engrossed in their conversation, and he'd smile a little, pleased to see he'd made the right decision by bringing her along. They were around the same age, had similar inte

Five minutes later, when Liam left the restroom with Eden's lacy panties safely tucked in his pocket, he ran straight into Laura and her entourage of lawyers and accountants. He'd met them a few times, went out to dinner and a show with them once or twice, too. But he couldn't say he liked any of them. "Li!" Laura ran straight into his arms, but he held them stiffly at his sides, refusing to open them up for her. "Play along and pretend you're happy to see me," she said under her breath. "They don't know we broke up." "Not my problem," he replied, matching her smile as he pushed her away. Laura turned to her friends and asked them to excuse her, promising to catch up with them in a bit. The friendly mask she'd worn just seconds ago came off the minute they were alone, and she went off at him, hissing viciously like a venomous snake. "Really, Liam, you couldn't do me this one favour?" Before he could remind her he didn't owe her

"What are you doing?" Eden asked as she crossed her arms and glared at Liam. It was bad enough she had to witness Laura's tongue stuck so deep in his throat she thought he'd choke on it. But now, he didn't even want to let her go home so she could fume in peace. "You are my date, and it's my job to take you home." "No! This was a work assignment," she reminded him, closing her eyes briefly as she slowly counted backwards from ten in a futile attempt to ease her anger. But by the time she reached the end of her mental countdown, she was still nowhere close to calmness. She was seething and properly pissed off at him for flirting with his ex in front of her and annoyed with herself for acting like a jealous high-schooler. "Eden, what the hell is going on?" Liam asked. "Are you upset because of Laura? She means nothing to me, I told you—" She held up her hand to stop him before he launched into a lengthy explanation that would serve no purpose ot

They began to undress each other as a matter of urgency, and within moments, they were completely naked. For some incomprehensible reason, Eden seemed self-conscious suddenly and tried to cover herself. But Liam gently pushed her hands away and pulled her close, basking in the feel of her silky smooth skin as her petite frame melded with his in a scorching embrace. "Don't ever hide from me, Princess," he scolded as he crushed her lips with his and pushed his tongue inside her mouth, groaning when she opened herself up a little more, giving in to his demands. It didn't take long for their kiss and the flames between them to rage out of control and for his dick to grow hard. "I missed this," Eden purred, taking him in her hand and began to caress him gently. Liam closed his eyes, panting hard when she wrapped her fingers around him and moved up and down his throbbing length in a rhythmic motion. She was a little hesitant at first but gro
