My Billionaire's Secret: A Forbidden, Age Gap Romance Decisions
QuinnI woke up to the soft rustling of leaves outside and the distant chirping of birds. The storm had finally passed, and the sun was streaming through the windows, casting a warm glow over the room. I stretched languidly, feeling a pleasant ache in my muscles from last night's activities. Lachlan was nowhere to be seen, but the indentation on the pillow beside me and the faint scent of his cologne lingered as a reminder of his presence.As I sat up, the events of the previous night came flooding back—the intensity of our connection, the way Lachlan had made me feel things I had never experienced before. It was exhilarating and terrifying all at once. But as much as I wanted to lose myself in the memory of his touch, I knew I couldn't afford to be distracted. I had come here for a reason, and time was running out.I quickly got dressed and made my way down to the dining room, where I found Lachlan already seated at the table, sipping a cup of coffee. He looked up as I entered, and a

QuinnI took a deep breath, steeling myself for what I was about to say. "I'll stay, Lachlan. I'll write your memoir. But I have conditions."A slow smile spread across his face, and he stood up, coming around the desk to stand in front of me. "Name them," he said, his voice a low rumble."I want complete creative control," I began, my voice steady. "I want to be able to write the story as I see fit, without interference from you or anyone else."He nodded, his eyes never leaving mine. "Done. What else?""I want access to everything," I continued. "All your records, your files, your personal correspondence. I want to be able to interview anyone I choose, without restriction."He hesitated for a moment, and I could see the wheels turning in his head. Then, he nodded again. "Agreed. But in return, I have a condition of my own."I raised an eyebrow, waiting for him to continue."You have to trust me, Quinn," he said, his voice serious. "You have to trust that I have your best interests a

Quinn"Not so fast, my greedy little slut," he murmured in my ear, his voice laced with dark amusement as his big body leaned over mine. "You don't get to come until I say so."I let out a shaky breath, my body trembling with unfulfilled desire. "Please, sir... I need it..." I begged, my voice a whimper.Lachlan chuckled, his fingers tracing the curve of my ass before landing a sharp slap on my right cheek. I yelped, the sting sending a shiver through me. "You'll get it when I'm good and ready to give it to you," he growled, his voice low and dominant.He ran a finger around my throbbing clit before sliding it down through my soaked folds and into my desperate pussy, pumping it in and out slowly, tortuously. I moaned, pushing back against his hand, seeking more friction. But he pulled out, leaving me on the edge."Not yet, leannan," he murmured, leaning down to kiss and bite my shoulder. "I want to hear you beg and cry for it."He began to tease me again, his fingers tracing the outli

But as much as his voice, his touch, and his words offered a release, a fleeting sanctuary from the chaos roiling within my body, the journalist in me floated to the surface.I shifted in his lap, pulling away just enough to look into those smoldering grey eyes. "You talk about showing me a world I never knew existed, Lachlan," I said softly but resolutely, my voice still rasping with the remnants of pleasure. "But what are you really asking of me? To put my world on hold? To let go of what I've built?"There was no animosity in my words—just a quiet plea for honesty. A need to know exactly what this was between us.He shifted slightly beneath me, and his fingers stopped tracing lazy shapes across my skin, his hand instead coming to rest on my lower back, his thumb brushing with intention, as if to soothe, or perhaps to claim space. His jaw tightened subtly, and for a fraction of a second, Lachlan McIntyre, the man always so composed, seemed to hesitate, as though my question had flus

"If I stay," I finally said, pulling my chin out of the cupped warmth of his hand, though not without some reluctance. "I won’t be blindfolded, Lachlan. I won’t be caught by surprise." I steadied my breath, even as the room seemed too small for the both of us. "Give me one secret. Something real. Something you’ve hidden. Leave it bare on the table before we go any further. If I’m to give you my trust—fully—I need to know what’s locked beneath your surface."The muscles in his face tightened. Lachlan McIntyre, the billionaire tycoon, the man accustomed to control and owning everything with his presence alone, hesitated. His fingers slipped from my cheek and grazed the polished wood of the desk, forming a tight fist that told me this wasn’t just a simple ask; it was monumental."You’re asking for something no one has ever dared ask me for before," he said quietly, his gaze hardening. "But I suppose that’s what draws me to you, isn’t it? You’re not like anyone else."I didn’t reply, lett

After my last confession, I'd stripped her physically bare again, needing to expose her flesh to me, even as she tried to hide her inner thoughts from me. There was a stillness between us after my final words, a fragile quiet that felt like the air right before a breach in the storm, that fleeting, potent pause when nothing can be undone. I held her close—our breaths tangling with how little distance there was between us now. Her lips parted slightly, uncertain, eyes wide but unwavering.She was thinking. Calculating. The Quinn Pearce I’d come to know would search for solid footing here—the next intelligent question, the rational choice. But there was nothing rational about us, not now, not anymore. I had told her something most people would beg to die without knowing. And yet, she hadn’t run. Not yet.Her hands, delicate, tentative, rested on my chest. “You’re not going to get everything,” she murmured, but her voice wavered, unsure.I leaned forward slightly, just close enough that

“Lachlan,” she breathed, her voice catching as my thumb grazed her clit in a particularly torturous circle, and I chuckled darkly at the way her body instinctively arched, chasing after my hand. “You haven’t earned it yet, love,” I growled low, slipping away from that sensitive button she so desperately needed me to touch. "You either beg properly, or you'll come on my time.”She whimpered, a lovely, desperate sound that sent a pulse of heat straight to my cock. God, she was gorgeous like this, strung tight, just on the edge of breaking with pleasure but held back by my command—by that relentless line of control I knew she'd only surrender to one man: Me. "Please, Lachlan," she finally gasped, her fingers curling into the sheets beside her, gripping them hard enough her knuckles turned white. “Please, I want you. I need you."I smirked, leaning down to kiss the heated skin just beneath her collarbones, my lips trailing lower until I reached one full breast. I traced my tongue over h

The sun had barely begun to peek over the horizon when I slipped out of bed, careful not to wake Lachlan, who was still sleeping peacefully beside me. The house was still quiet, the only sound the distant hum of the generator that kept the lights on and the air conditioning running. I padded across the cool tile floor, the laptop waiting on the desk in my room beckoning like a siren's call.As I settled myself in the chair, the laptop screen casting a soft glow over my face, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had been building within me since Lachlan's confession the night before. I knew that I needed to confront the reality of the man I had come to know, to dig deeper into the darkness that had haunted his past and now seemed to threaten to consume his present.I started with the most obvious search terms, typing "Lachlan McIntyre" and "unsolved crimes" into the search bar. The results were immediate and overwhelming, a laundry list of articles and news stories that seemed t

My Billionaire's Secret: A Forbidden, Age Gap Romance The Gathering Storm
The air on the island felt different now, heavy and charged, as though the approaching storm wasn’t confined to the sky. The once serene paradise had become a pressure cooker, the weight of it pressing down on Quinn’s chest. She stood by the tall windows of the villa’s living room, the horizon marred by dark clouds rolling in from the sea. The wind had picked up, rustling the palm fronds outside and carrying the salty tang of the ocean through the slightly open windows.Behind her, Lachlan paced like a caged lion, his phone pressed to his ear as he issued crisp, controlled orders. Yet, even in his attempts to exude calm authority, Quinn could see the signs of strain—the way his fingers flexed open and closed at his side, the tension in his jaw as he ground his teeth. His shirt, usually perfectly pressed, was rumpled, and his hair stuck up in places from where he’d clawed his fingers through it repeatedly.“Double the security at the perimeter,” he barked, his voice sharp enough to cut

The study was steeped in shadows, the late afternoon sun filtering through heavy blinds and casting fractured light across the room. The scent of old books mingled with the faint tang of salt carried on the sea breeze, but the air inside was heavy, suffocating.Lachlan stood behind his imposing oak desk, a figure carved from granite, while Clara lingered by the window, her silhouette fragile and waif-like against the glow. Quinn hovered near the doorway, her arms crossed tightly over her chest, her mind caught in a tangle of questions she couldn’t yet untangle.Lachlan’s voice cut through the silence, low and sharp. “Start at the beginning. How were you kept from me? Why didn’t I know you existed?”Clara turned from the window, her eyes soft but resolute. “You have to understand, Lachlan, our mother wasn’t like other mothers. She made choices—choices she believed were necessary. Choices that tore us apart.”“Necessary?” Lachlan’s voice rose, his composure cracking. His hands gripped t

Quinn"I'm here to see Lachlan," the woman announced, a musical lilt barely imperceptible in her soft voice.I stood there, rooted to the spot, as Sims' thin lips tightened into almost invisibility. We all stood like statues staring at each other for several breaths before Sims finally ushered the woman inside. She moved with a grace that belied her frail appearance, her eyes darting around the grand hallway as if she took in every detail. It didn't look like she was familiar with the place.I couldn't help but stare at her, my mind racing with questions. Who was she? how did she know where this place was? Did Sims know her or not? I couldn't tell. And why did she seem so familiar?Sims led the woman to the formal drawing room, instructing the maid who had been lurking in the doorway there with a tray and coffee, to fetch Lachlan. I followed despite the austere butler not inviting me, my curiosity piqued. The woman sat down on the edge of the sofa, her hands clasped tightly in her lap

QuinnThe seaplane landed smoothly, the water spraying up like tiny crystals under the sunlight. I'd been surprised when Lachlan had shown me to the small plane as we watched the yacht turn into a small dot on the water the morning after the traumatic ritual I'd witnessed."I need to get home as soon as possible and I'm sure you want to get back to work." His answer had been taciturn and not at all fulfilling when I'd asked, but I'd let it go. At that point, all I wanted off this island as soon as possible and didn't really care what Lachlan's reasons were.Once back on Lachlan's home island, he helped me out of the plane, his hand lingering on mine for a moment longer than necessary. As we walked in silence towards the grand house, the waves crashing against the shore the only sound accompanying the slide of our footsteps, I wasn't sure whether I should feel relief or trepidation in returning to the now familiar spaces. With as few words as possible, I retreated to the beautiful roo
My Billionaire's Secret: A Forbidden, Age Gap Romance Alone or Us
QuinnAfter our encounter on the island, we'd come back to the yacht and the gentle rocking of the ocean had lulled me into a state of drowsy contentment as I lay nestled in the plush bedding, the remnants of Lachlan's scent clinging to the sheets. The events of the past few hours swirled in my mind, a chaotic mix of horror, confusion, and a strange, unsettling arousal.The image of the woman on the altar, her lifeless eyes staring up at the moon, the blood dripping from the sacrificial dagger…it played on repeat in my memory, a macabre slideshow that continued to send shivers down my spine. Lachlan's explanation, his insistence that it was all a charade, a necessary deception to maintain control within the Order of the Serpent…it echoed in my ears, a desperate plea for understanding, for trust.And then there was the knife. He had shown me the prop dagger. I had held it in my hand and it had collapsed allowing it to seem to stab but not really. But it was still sharp. My skin pebbled

"I need your words for this, my love." "Green, sir," she breathed, and relaxed against the cool wood making my cock jump in anticipation. Jesus, the surrender made me harder than the acacia wood I had her laid."Oh, mo chroi, what a good girl you are," I growled, trailed my free hand through her hair and down her bare back. "Now stay very still unless I tell you." I slipped my fingers under her loose pants followed by the sharp edge of the blade and a second later, they fell to the floor with her shirt leaving her perfect body bare before me spread over my desk. It was a sight I'd co

LachlanThe weight of Quinn's gaze bore into me, her mossy green eyes reflecting a tumultuous sea of doubt and fear. I could see the gears turning in her mind, the struggle between wanting to believe me and the horror she had witnessed. I knew I was asking a lot of her, perhaps too much. But I also knew that our bond, the connection that had grown between us, was stronger than the webs of deceit spun by the Order.I reached out, tracing the line of her jaw with my fingertips. Her skin was soft, warm, and slightly flushed from the emotional turmoil she was experiencing. She didn't pull away from my touch, but her eyes remained wary, questioning."Quinn," I murmured, my voice low, soothing. "I know this is hard for you. I know it's a lot to take in. But I need you to trust me. I need you to believe in us."She bit her bottom lip, a habit I found both endearing and arousing. "I want to, Lachlan. I just…I need something more. Something to hold onto, to prove that what you're saying is tru

QuinnLachlan’s grip felt warm and strong around mine, a stark contrast to the icy grip of fear that still clenched my heart. He led me back towards the villa, his steps measured and calm, as if we were returning me from a collapse at the edge of the sea after witnessing a horrific ritual sacrifice. I stumbled along beside him, my mind a maelstrom of confusion and terror. The image of the woman on the altar, her lifeless eyes staring up at the moon, blood dripping from her fingers was burned into my retinas.He led me back to a study, almost a duplicate of the one in his home on his personal island leaving no further question in my mind as to who this home belonged to."Sit, leannan," he said, depositing me on a small couch. He poured me a glass of amber liquid pressing it into my trembling hands. He sat opposite me in a dark teak armchair, his gaze intense, searching. "Quinn," he began, his voice low and soothing, “what you saw…it wasn’t real.”I stared at him, the brandy sloshing ove
My Billionaire's Secret: A Forbidden, Age Gap Romance Secret Five
QuinnBefore me lay a sight that would haunt my dreams forever.A sprawling, ancient-looking temple loomed in the center of the clearing, its walls adorned with twisted, serpentine carvings. The air was heavy with the stench of incense and something far more sinister. The chanting grew louder, a cacophony of voices that seemed to come from all directions. My mouth gaped open. I shut my eyes for a long moment, not able to believe what I was seeing. It was like I had dropped into that old movie Romancing the Stone. Surely once I opened my eyes again, it would all be gone.But when I dared to look again, my eyes locked on Lachlan standing at the top of the altar, his eyes closed, his face tilted upwards as if in supplication. He was dressed in a long, black robe, the hood thrown back, revealing the handsome, chiseled features I would know anywhere. Except this time, the face I'd grown to love was cast in dangerous looking shadows, the fire from what had to be hundreds of torches mimickin
