CHAPTER 102

Ivan grabbed my arm before I could leave the room. “You told me because you need help, and I’m guessing I’m the closest thing you have.”

I didn’t reply. I didn’t know if he is or not. He was just so easy to talk to and someone who makes you want to tell him everything.

“What could possibly be so bad it would destroy Stone?”

My mouth went dry, along with my lips, and I made a vain attempt at wetting them with my tongue. My throat constricted around the sudden lump in it, and my heart pounded so hard that it was threatening to break free of the restraints of my chest.

“I can’t help you if I don’t know everything,” Ivan said softly.

I clenched my hands into fists. My nails dug into my sweaty palms, and I squeezed my eyes shut. “Promise you won’t think any less of me.”<

  His fingers slipped beneath my panties and he slid them over my ass. I moved my leg so he can remove them and kicked them off when they reached my ankles. When he moved to pull my leg back over him, I grabbed the band of his boxers and tugged hard.“Fuck no. Lose ‘em, baby.”He laughed quietly. “Go ahead, woman. Take them off.”I did—with a little too much vigor. George smirked at my enthusiasm. Something I quickly wiped off his face when I wrapped my hand around his cock.“Something funny?” I asked, rubbing a drop of precum around the tip with my thumb.“Yeah.” He pulled my hand away from him, looped my leg over his waist, and positioned himself at my entrance. “How you think you have a semblance of control in this is beyond me.”“Is that so?” I took his lips with mine.He pl

  He joined me in the shower, and after rubbing his hand over my butt, he pulled me into him.

Where the bloody hell are you, you ignorant bastard?” a woman’s voice shriekee through the house. It was followed by the slamming of the door.I jolted, sitting straight up on the sofa and placing my Kindle down next to me.

  “Why doesn’t Gina help you? With the wedding?”No no no no no. My eyes widened. “I, uh, um…”“Oh! Would you?” Tess turned to me, her eyes pleading. “It’s just until Mum and Aunt Cathy get in tomorrow night.”“I really have no idea what I’m doing with a wedding,” I admitted. “I’d be in your way.”“So? It’ll be good practice.”I looked at George, my eyes even wider, but he just smirked. What. The. Fuck. No. No marriages. No nothing.“Please!” Tess took my hands.I met everyone’s eyes in turns, finally resting on Tess’s brown ones, and sighed in defeat. “Okay. I’ll do my best.”“Thank you!” she squealed and hugged me again.I patted her back with one hand an

  I shrugged off my jacket and left it on the bench in the middle, walking to the edge of it. I pressed my fingers against the thick glass in front of me as we moved around slowly, eagered to see everything. I did—I wanted it all. I wanted to see this gorgeous city spread before me in the night.“We came to London right after we’d been to Paris,” George said out of the blue. His words cut through the easy silence that descended between us in the wake of my excitement.“Really?”“Yes. Dad had an important meeting I couldn’t attend, so Mom asked me if I’d accompany her shopping. I agreed, and at the end of the day, after dinner, she brought me here. It was marginally lighter on our journey, but I hated every second of it.”I turned to him. “Why? How could you hate this?”He crossed the p

  I looked at him from the corner of my eyes. “Where?”“There’s no need to sound so suspicious. I can guarantee it’s a place you’ll be completely at home in.”“Where?”He tapped my hip. “You’re a little small without heels. Do you know that?”I smacked his stomach. “George! Don’t change the subject! And I am not short.”His lips spreaded into a grin. “I know, but you’re a good few inches shorter.”“This isn’t the conversation we’re having. I want to know where you’re taking me later. And I want to know now.”“Is that a demand, Miss McCartney?”“It’s a requirement I know, Mr. Stone. Or I’m not walking another step.” I stopped and put some extra oomph into stamping m

  My eyebrows took up residence somewhere behind my hairline. Mrs. Stone?“We’re not married,” I corrected her politely. “Much to Mr. Stone’s chagrin.”He gave me a look that said I’ll regret that later.“Oh, I’m ever so sorry.” She placed a hand on her chest. “That’s what one gets for assuming.”“It’s okay.” I smiled. “I doubt you’ll be the last to.”She returned my smile. “Can I help you in any way?”“Hmm…” My eyes foind the tiny strings I saw George eying contemplatively earlier. I picked up the white one beneath a matching basque and showed her it. “Do you have this in any other colors?”George clearee his throat and shifted when I looked at him.“We do. They’re jus

  “George,” I put a warning in my voice this time, and he laughed.“Don’t worry. I’m not doing anything ridiculously impulsive or drastic. Not right now.” He covered my mouth with his before I could respond, and I lightly punched his chest.“What have you done? Are you doing? Going to do? Whatever it is. What is it?”“Nothing. I’m messing with you. I haven’t done anything. I promise.” He dropped another kiss to my lips.“Yet? There’s always a yet with you. Always.”“I’m not promising I won’t, but I haven’t done anything at this moment in time.”“Oh, because that makes me feel so much better,” I scoffed, rolling my eyes. “You scare me.

  “Yes, sir.”We spent the rest of the dinner in silence before we all stepped into the gardens for drinks while the tables were cleared away. I engaged in casual conversation with Ivan, doing my best to keep him away from yet another of Tess’s bridesmaids.“Come dance,” he said, dragging me back into the room.“Your sister has to have her dance first, and I think George would likely kill you.”“Tomorrow, maybe, and he’s not here right now. Let me steal one.” He winked, his grin oozing boyish charm instead of sexuality, and I found myself giving in.“Fine. Okay. But I’m not being held responsible for this.”“I’ll take the blame.”We stood by the side and watched as Mich took Tess in his arms. A smile teased my lips as they moved elegantly across th

The seat sashes are supposed to be champagne, not fucking ivory!”Brenda patted my shoulder. “There, there, Bridezilla. You have three months still to chew their asses out until they get it right.”“Brenda, with the amount George is paying them to get it right, I shouldn’t have to be chewing asses.” I sighed and straightened again. “This is crazy. Why can’t we just elope in some tropical country and get married without all this fancy crap?”My best friend laughed and shut the laptop down. “Okay, babe. Let’s get you a drink. You and I both know you wouldn’t want to have this any other way.”“I know. I just… I

  I was not getting it out of him no matter how hard I tried. I knew he wouldn’t give anything away until he was good and ready, so I was stuck sitting here in my awkward limbo until he did. Stuck here, wondering, waiting, what-iffing.Our plates were cleared away and replaced with our main course. Again, it was eaten in silence, our eyes flitting from our plates to each other’s. The only difference was that there was a zinging of tension, one tight enough to cut, and I swallowed hard. My fork clattered as I placed it against my plate and looked at him firmly.“Do you want dessert?” he asked innocently, his steady voice betraying the tightness between us.“No. I want to know what this is.”“This? It’s dinner in the Eiffel Tower, sweetheart.”“No. What is it? Why are you doing it?”Geo

  He prodded me in the side. “I think I found desires you weren’t aware of over the last few days.”Ah, this much wass true. Who knew having sex in front of a large bay window in the middle of the day was so fun?“I was very much aware of them. They’d just never been satisfied before now.”“They’ll continue to be satisfied, too.”“I should hope so.”He laughed quietly, burying his face into my neck. “Sit up. Let me wash your hair.”I did as he said, and he grabbed the showerhead from the little holder I placed it in for easy reach. When the water was the right temperature, I leaned my head back and let him wet my hair.“Ivan’s coming back to Seattle in a few weeks.”“He is?”“Hmm. He said he’ll call you to arra

  “Again?”“Mhmm.”“Oh no.” I wrestled myself from him. “No, no, no!”I laughed, running through the apartment. And as I slammed the office door shut behind me, I realized my mistake.You never run from someone willing to stalk you until he can catch you.“Gina.” He hummed my name through the door. “Do I need to break the door down?”“That’s a habit for you.”“Open the fucking door. The longer you keep me waiting out here, the harder I’ll have to fuck you.”Oh, silly, silly man. When will he realized that, that was not a bad thing at all?I giggled and tapped out a random beat on the door. Truth was, I had no intention of letting George Stone fuck me right now.I planned to sit him on that fancy-ass leather chair an

  “We are?” “Yes. You’re wearing my shirt again, and I believe it was some six hours ago I was promising to fuck you on my desk, so I suggest you get your ass into my office and hop up onto that desk pronto.” “You’re getting more demanding by the day, Mr. Stone.” I added some extra wiggle to my hips as I walked, and I was rewarded by a low growl of pleasure behind me. And punished with a sharp smack on my ass. “I never said anything about a demand. I’m requiring you get on my damn desk. Now move.” *** “Thank you.” George took a large envelope from someone and closed the door behind him. I watched from my slouched position on the sofa as he pulled a letter opener from the kitchen drawer and sliced the letter open. Because who doesn’t keep one of those in their kitchen?

  It was ten in the morning and George still wasn’t up.That alone told me how much yesterday tired him. He was incapable of sleeping past six. Crazy man.I rocked my head from side to side. If I had any idea exactly what he was doing last night, I’d go into his office and finish it. As it was, I had no idea, so all I can was sit there like a freaking orange waiting to be juiced.I couldn’t read because my concentration wouldn’t last beyond a page. I had done my Candy Crush and Coin Dozer thing, and if I saw one more whining status post on Facebook, I’ll do one of my own.The sound of a phone ringing in his office cut through the silence, and I paused. Oh hell.I jumped down and ran into the room, barely blinking at the name on screen before answering. “Hello?”“Hello? Gi

  I sat up, brushing hair from my face, and listened for any indication of him being around. There wasn’t any, so I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and made my way out of the room. The city lights flooded the front room, and I glanced at the clock. Three a.m. Where could he possibly be at this time? Something creaked in the direction of his office, and I walked down the hall to it. His door was cracked open slightly, and a gentle light from the television was flickering through the tiny gap. I wrapped my fingers around the edge of the door and eased it open, my eyes landing on his exhausted, shirtless figure. He was slumping over his desk, his fingers buried in his hair. His laptop was open in front of him, papers were scattered everywhere, some lying idly on the floor, and a desk light was illuminating the mess. “You should be in bed, asleep,” he mutte

  “George!”“What does it say?” I looked at her. She bit her lip. “Rachel. Tell me now!”“She said that if you don’t pay within the hour, she’ll have it distributed to a large number of websites and presses ready to run a breaking news story first thing tomorrow. They’re waiting for her story.”“Will she fuck.” There was no wavering in his voice. Despite his lack of jacket and tie, George looked as serious as ever. “Rachel, get me her on the phone ten minutes ago.” He turned. “Alexander, get something drawn up that prevents her from contacting either Gina or me for the next fucking lifetime. This ends right now.”“George, you can’t pay her!” I wrenched myself from his mom’s grip. “Don’t be so fucking stupid!”He br

  “I’m sorry,” I whispered, looking at my feet. Guilt and remorse—they flooded me. Consumed me.George pulled me into him and tilted my face back. “Look at me, Gina.”I shook my head. I couldn’t. Not this time. I couldn’t look in his eyes and know that everything we have was on the line. Everything he and his father have worked for was now hanging in limbo because of me.How many reporters have picked that up? How many stories will I see tomorrow? How many news alerts will pop up on my cell?“Gina.” His voice was hard. No-nonsense. “Look at me. Now.”My eyes disobeyed me. They raked up his body until they found a sea of bright blue.“We will figure this out. Do you understand me? It’s unexpected and sudden, but we will fix this.”Tears born of a real fea
