SimoneAbout an hour and several cups of sobering coffee later, there was a knock at the door. Rob was incredibly prompt. At least this time he knew what kind of emotional carnage he was walking into. I opened the door, and he immediately held out his arms to me, despite the bags in his hands. I stepped into his arms and let him hold me for several moments.When we finally broke apart, he held up his bags. "Hungry?" he asked.I realized that I hadn't eaten at all, not even the chocolate Mandy brought. I was absolutely famished, and I told him so. He followed me into the house and into the kitchen where I pulled out a couple of plates. I tried to help him get everything ready, but he shooed me out of the kitchen."You've had a shitty day," he said. "You aren't doing anything tonight except sitting down and being served."What on earth had I done to be in the presence of such a thoughtful person? Once again, I thought about how he was exactly who I needed right now. More than a

Simone"I'm trying to get a hold of Simone Carter," a silky smooth, male voice crooned into my phone."Speaking," I managed to say. Was this who I thought it was? Could it possibly be Nick f*cking Morgan calling me?I was sure that my strangled voice sounded like a mouse. My heart was pounding out of my chest."Wonderful," he answered. "I'm not sure if you remember me, but we met a few weeks ago at an open house, and you gave me your card."Me not remember Nick f*cking Morgan? It was laughable!"Of course, I remember," I said as calmly as I could. "Are you ready to start looking for a house?""You have no idea," he said slowly. "Would you be available this afternoon?"Was I mentally prepared to be alone in a room with my teenage idol? At this point, life couldn't get any weirder."Of course," I told him. "I'll pull some options for you. Should I text your assistant the addresses?"He chuckled into the phone. "No, love. You can text my direct line."Then, Nick f*ck
Her Sunset Billionaires Chapter 22 : Girl Talk
SimoneMandy and I were sitting on her couch with a bowl of popcorn between us. As I told her about my disastrous interaction with Nick, she couldn't control her laughter."I can't believe you called him out like that!" she said in amazement. "I'm so proud of you, but also, damn! I don't think I would've had the balls!""What was I supposed to do? He was patting a space on the bed and telling me to relax. It was a classic come on."Still, my cheeks burned when I thought about it. I didn't regret it, though. Even if he really wasn't trying to seduce me, it was important for me to hold him accountable."And he just broke up with Lulu," Mandy added."Yes! How did I not know about this?"Mandy shrugged. "It's all over the Internet. I think his story has completely upstaged yours. America's favorite leading man breaking up with America's richest heiress is a big deal. They're basically royalty!"I rolled my eyes at this. "Maybe that's the problem with us. We value celebritie
Her Sunset Billionaires Chapter 23 : Stupid Deep
Simone The next morning, my head was spinning from my conversation with Mandy. I absolutely was not planning to sleep with Nick ever, but the idea was kind of exciting to me. After all, he was my childhood crush. It was fun to imagine the possibility.It was more fun to imagine my possible commission, though. During our staff meeting, I updated everyone on my progress. Everyone congratulated me on my closing with Michael, except Crystal, who had steam coming out of her ears. I was glad no one brought up the story or my recent shame.When I mentioned Rob's house, Holly shot me a look. "Let's talk later," she whispered to me. I was intrigued to say the least.When we'd finished, she came over to my desk."Can I see that property you were mentioning? The Silicon Valley guy?"My cheeks flushed a little bit just thinking about him. I wondered if that would always happen when he or Michael were brought up.I pulled up the listing on my computer and showed it to her."This
Her Sunset Billionaires Chapter 24 : Don't Get Hurt
SimoneMichael came to the office early the next day to sign his closing documents. We'd agreed with the buyer to close as quickly as possible so we wouldn't have any more issues with the house. Crystal was very pale when she saw Michael walk in. I wasn't sure if she was angry or scared. Mandy heard through the grapevine that Crystal had received a cease-and-desist letter from Michael's lawyers.Once the documents were signed and sent over to the listing office, Michael and I went out for a celebratory brunch."Just to be clear," I said over a mimosa, "I always celebrate with my clients like this. You aren't special."He placed his hand over his heart and pretended he was wounded."I'd like to think I'm a little special. After all, how many clients know what your 'O' face looks like?"I spit out my drink at this and kicked him under the table. He merely laughed and took a bite of his avocado toast."We wouldn't want Wila Walters to hear that," I reminded him darkly.He
Her Sunset Billionaires Chapter 25 : Get It In All the Way
SimoneI felt shaky after my brunch with Michael. On the one hand, I was grateful he still wanted to try having a relationship. On the other hand, I had no idea what to do about Rob. I was falling for him, too, and there was no way both guys would keep being cool about what was happening. I'd be forced to choose eventually. That's how these situations always played out in movies.I had to bite the bullet and call Rob. He sounded shocked to hear from me, and especially surprised when I asked him to meet me for coffee. We agreed to meet at a little place not far from his office.He was already there when I arrived, sitting with his back to me. I noticed his hands were clenched around his drink, and I remembered what it was like when we met for the first time. This coffee shop was much cozier than the last, and they actually believed in flavored syrup. He still looked just as nervous, though.My heart sank because he probably thought I was going to end things with him. Maybe I was
Her Sunset Billionaires Chapter 26 : You're On Probation!
SimoneI woke up the next morning feeling strange. Not good or bad, just strange. Because only in a strange, parallel universe could I be sleeping with two billionaires who were both totally okay with it.I got dressed for the day, remembering that I'd have to go to another broker's open tonight. I picked a nicer outfit than my usual style and put my hair into a complicated braid. I focused on my appearance because it was easier than focusing on my love life. It still felt completely surreal.When I got to the office, Mandy eyed me suspiciously."You look… strange," she said."I know, right?" I answered. I was glad my best friend was perceptive enough to pick up on this new dynamic."I think you look like a fugly slut," Crystal called from the back of the room. Just when I was getting used to not seeing her."F*ck you too, bitch," I said in a fake nice tone.Mandy pulled me over to the side out of Crystal's earshot and spoke quieter. "Seriously, what's different?" Mandy
Her Sunset Billionaires Chapter 27 : A Turn in the Tide
SimoneIt wasn't the first time I felt like I was walking into the office with my tail between my legs, but it was definitely the worst time. I'd had bad days and frustrating days, but today I felt ashamed. I'd really messed up last night, causing a scene at Kelly's open. It was rude and unprofessional.The first thing I did was stop by Kelly's office with a bouquet of flowers. She smiled widely."I know why you're here, but it's totally unnecessary," she said. "I haven't been that happy since the day I saw my positive pregnancy test.""How long ago was that?" I asked.Her hand instinctively reached for her belly. "Twelve weeks?" she said, unsure. "But twelve weeks in pregnancy time is like three years. Watching Crystal have her ass handed to her was one of my top ten moments since joining the firm.""So I didn't ruin your opening?" I asked, relieved."Not at all," she said happily. "If anything, you added a little entertainment. Everyone couldn't stop talking about it. S
