Falling For Mr King Chapter Thirty-Seven
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

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

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

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

“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

Well, that was fast. Marie thought as William King’s velvety voice wafted to the room Steven and Marie were. Steven, who looked more stunned than excited, tried to get up and run to meet his father when Marie remembered that she hadn't had the time to warn him. Desperate to warn him before he saw William, she did the only logical (or not) thing she could think of. Pushing him back to the sofa, Marie took her halter neck top off and stood before a wide-eyed Steven King whose mouth had fallen open.“Just a minute to make ourselves decent, Mr. King. ” Marie called out, causing William King, who was about to round the corner to where they stood, to halt.“Are you out of your mind?” Steven half yelled, as he stood up and shoved the top to her.“I’m not. I did it to buy some time. We need to talk.”“Marie, I don't know if you’ve noticed but my dad's here. It's going to take more than you in a fancy bra to stop me from going to see him.”Rolling her eyes, Marie said,“I don't want to stop

Steven King's heart tumbled in his chest as he watched his father’s eyes skim through the menu. They hadn't said a word to each other since they sat down, making Steven feel like a kid in the principal’s office.Why was he acting like a bunch of nerves before his dad? The same person he had desperately longed to see for so long.“I think I'll have the pancake, eggs and orange juice. It is freshly squeezed, I hope?”“Yes Dad.” Steven answered as he beckoned on Stefan to take their order. “Wow, Dad. It's good to see you. How did you manage to get in? I thought this was just for married couples?”“It is. I brought my wife, Serena.”His wife? “Wow… That's… Congratulations, Dad! I'm happy… I had no idea you remarried.”“I didn't. Oh, you should have seen your face, Steven.” William said, slamming the table with his bare palm as he laughed. Steven, who wasn’t sure what the joke was, laughed along with him.“ Hiring a wife is so easy these days. In my time, it was a loooot harder. It's a
