Falling For Mr King Chapter Thirty-Five
“What is it?” A worried Marie asked, the concern ringing in her voice as she sat up in bed.“We’ve been invited to Karaoke.” Steven replied, his tone deadpan.That was the reason the man was looking like he had swallowed a snake? Because he had to sing in front of people? Not that she had ever heard him since once in the ten years they had known each other. Maybe he was terrified that he wouldn't be able to carry a tune.“Steven, if it's just Karaoke, why do you look like someone's died?“Whose idea is it to make us do all these activities? How exactly is this supposed to trigger or ‘Zing’?” He asked.Marie climbed down from the bed, shaking her head side to side while she came to stand beside him. “Ooh great, we’re number two. Low chance of someone stealing our song.”“Marie, we aren't doing this.”Placing her hands on her hips, Marie turned to glare at him.“Steven, weren’t you giving me a lecture this morning about putting in our best? Are you going to let a little singing stop y
Falling For Mr King Chapter Thirty-Six
Steven had no idea what Marie was planning as he followed her onto the stage. Grabbing a chair as she went along, she climbed on the stage and motioned for him to sit on it. Confused but trying not to show it, Steven sat on the chair and clutched his mic in his hand. Marie stood in front of him, blocking his view of the rest of the room. Covering his mic with her hand so she couldn't be heard, she leaned down and whispered into his ears,“We’re going to give them a show. Just trust me. Now smile at me like I'm the most beautiful woman in this room.” Steven couldn't see the faces of anyone else but was sure this raven-haired beauty with sparkling green eyes was indeed the most beautiful woman in this room to him.“I can show you the world, shining, shimmering, splendid…” She began singing in a voice so sonorous that Steven's lips parted in surprise.Was this why she had been so excited about Karaoke? The girl could sing! As she sang, she ran her hand over his shoulder, neck and bent o

Marie winced at the pain exploding in her head as her eyes fluttered open. Rubbing her arms, she sat up and looked around her for the annoying device that had forced her to wake up.She could hear the shower running so she assumed he was in there. The thought of being so close to Steven was doing things to her heart. A glance to her left revealed the sofa where Steven King had most likely slept, covered with a blanket and pillows. She felt a tad guilty about having this giant bed to herself while he struggled to fit his long frame into the sofa. But she wasn't ready for all the complications that would arise from them sharing the same bed. Even if she couldn't stop her heart from pining after the man, she could stop herself from doing things she would regret later. The shrill sound of the telephone startled her again. Ugh. Could whoever was calling not have waited till afternoon?Lifting the receiver to her ear, she answered,“Hello, Marie speaking.” The silence on the other end set
Falling For Mr King Chapter Thirty-Eight
If Steven wasn't so angry at Marie, he would have teased her mercilessly at the way she had looked at his bare chest a few minutes ago. He had no idea why his pulse had quickened at the look of awe on her face. But all that was before she opened her mouth and suddenly had opinions about his life. Where did she get off telling me what to do and think about his father? Maybe his father wasn't always available but he was at least in his life, which was more than he could say for the parents that had abandoned her.“You stay out of my personal life, Marie. And I mean it!”“Of course you do. I apologize.” She muttered.“You may want to change that dress and check what else needs to be changed.” He said, as he turned and stormed out of the suite. He had noticed the bright red stain from yesterday and realized that she was on her period after he had fallen on her yesterday. The falling had been unintentional. After she had said what she did about his hair, he had found himself kissing her ag
Falling For Mr King Chapter Thirty-Nine
Why did he have such long legs? The more Marie ran after Steven, whose mocking laughter reverberated through the hallway, the longer his strides seemed to be getting.Stopping to catch her breath, Marie called out,“Wait, Steven. Slow down please, what did I say?”But Steven wasn't slowing down, instead he kept running through the hallway that led to the stairs. Did he have to chase him down the flight of stairs to get the answer?Furious that she had let herself get so drunk last night, she started to run after him again. It wasn't until they reached the bottom of the stairs, and she found herself standing in a room full of people sitting on yoga mats that she realized what he had done. He had led her to the head massage class. With a wicked gleam in his eye, Steven walked back to her and planted his arm firmly around her waist, leading her to the center of the class where the astonished instructor waited.“We are so sorry. Time got away from yours, you know.” He said, casting a k

Without answering her question, Steven King tossed her a grin that had Marie turning red. Had she always blushed this easily?He had only been awake for about eight minutes but was seeing an opportunity to complete the wicked revenge plan he had against her.“Oh, I wouldn't worry Marie, I know you think I have the most beautiful hair. You already told me yesterday.” He said, laughing at the alarmed look on her face. He knew that he had to get up from her lap now but if he was being honest he’d prefer not to.What was happening to him? And why did he want it to continue? “That's not fair, Steven! I gave up my turn for you.” She said, playfully swatting his arm.“I mean, I did you a good deed because you know how you’ve always wanted to touch my hair? I let you do it for hours. What could be more gentlemanly?”Laughing at the way Marie rolled her eyes, Steven lifted his head from her lap and sat up to look at her. Her lovely green eyes sparkled in the darkness, as the cool evening bre
Falling For Mr King Chapter Forty-One
Although his face was veiled in the darkness, Marie could see various emotions flutter on Steven King’s face before he schooled his features into his trademarked inscrutable expression. Tonight, however, she was seeing it for what it was; a smokescreen to hide his feelings, and she was not going to budge until she got an answer out of him.“Marie, I think you know the answer to that.” He responded in a cool voice before pulling himself up to tower above her.“Humor me, Steven King.” She said, unwilling to back down now.“No, Marie. I do not have feelings for you. What's that got to do with anything? You think just because we’ve shared a few kisses, I’m suddenly going to develop feelings for you?”Even though Marie had expected those words, their impact landed on her hopeful heart like a heavy blow. If he didn't have feelings for her, why had she caught him looking at her the way he had so many times tonight?How many times was her foolish heart going to get hurt before it stopped pan
Falling For Mr King Chapter Forty-Two
“Will you answer that thing, or leave it on silent mode?” The irritated voice of Steven King landed on her ears, tearing her out of her reverie. Marie thanked her stars for the gazillionth time that she had had the good sense to resave Alden King’s name with A.K , initials that could mean anything to anyone. If she hadn't done so, not only would her perfect mission to steal Steven King’s heart had gone to bust, she would have lost her job. Too shocked to piece an apology together, Marie turned off her cell and dashed to the bathroom. Since arriving at the cottage, the reception on their cells had been wonky so she hadn't tried to reach either Alden or Sandra.A feeling of unease coursed through her as she remembered she and Sandra's last meeting at her house. Steven was right. Sandra hadn't been fair to her. It was a different thing if she had told Sandra her marriage to Steven was fake as well, but she hadn't and her friend who knew how long she had loved the man was angry at her fo
