After her divorce and a series of toxic relationships, Margot Simmins ... not her real name ... was done. Free-spirited, and a hippie at heart, she never wanted to be attached to anyone or anything anymore, not even for a job. She works as a freelancer, and resorted to one-night-stands for a free, no strings attached, good lay, for one night only. No drama and life were good. And then she met Richard, who seemed reluctant to join in her fun, not having a clue that he was actually a very well-known reclusive billionaire that will change her life forever.

Chapter 1

One

Bohemian … is the style she chose whenever she’s not at work. Flower bandana around her head, her favorite orange sunglasses, a leather sling bag, and leather straps and sandals wrapped around her lean long legs up to her knees.

“How do I look?” she asked Perry, her housemate.

He tilted his head to one side and rested his hands on his waist. Even without make-up, her face was naturally beautiful. “Like Margot Simmins … a free-spirited hippie who roams the city without a care in the world … looking for the next unassuming gentleman who’s about to get his next great lay and left to wonder what the fuck just happened to him,” he hugged her from behind. “I feel sorry for the poor bastard already,” he chuckled.

“Oh please … guys love no commitment fucks, they’d do it every day if they can.”

“Not all of them … especially those who drink their coffee quietly at the coffee houses you go to … for a nice person like you, what you’re doing is pretty cruel, you know?”

She turned to face him and squeezed his cheeks, “You have too much faith in men … even the most innocent looking one, married to a fantastic woman, rarely passes the opportunity for a free, no strings attached, good lay.”

“No married man! You promised!” Perry protested.

“Of course not … I’m just saying … don’t feel bad for them, it’s just physical fun … it’s not like I can do it with you.”

He rolled his eyes, “Be careful … make sure he’s clean, single, and not dangerous.”

“Okay, mom, … I got protection,” she showed him a condom from her bag.

“Check in with me whenever you can … and don’t get drunk!”

She was a 32-year-old woman but Perry always made her feel like a teenager whenever she was about to do her thing. “Yes, daddy,” she mocked him.

“Okay … go break a heart then,” he spread his arms for another hug, and Margot Simmins was out the door.

**********

She’s a knockout, and she knew it. She knew she could use it to her advantage, not because beauty was power, but because some people have a weakness for beauty. Her power was her confidence. She knew exactly what she wanted and she has the skills to get it. She didn’t need anyone to accomplish her goals, she had done it all on her own. She never let her physical need become a weak link in her life. Getting into a relationship just to have someone to sleep with was not practical.

She didn’t do well with relationships, not after her divorce. Most men were intimidated by her passion, and her boldness to live life the way she wanted to. She outshined almost every man she had ever been with, and they didn’t like it.

They tried to dim her lights and kept her to themselves. Once she’s tamed, plucked from the tree she blossomed on, they got tired of her and left her to dry. She learned her lessons.

So she went out to town every once or twice a month to quench her thirst. She went out in the day because meeting men in bars at night made her feel like a desperate slut who’d spread her legs for all kinds of douchebags who were looking for a match.

She liked to strike a conversation with her prey, and know a little bit about his background, not coming off as if she was looking for a fix. Just a friendly talk with a bit of flirting. That way, she can assess the guy whether he was clean, married, a loser, or not. Even for a one-night stand, she was picky.

She walked into a random coffee place by the busy streets of Lancaster. Ordered a cup of coffee while she scanned the room for an unsuspecting good looking guy who sat alone. Once she spotted him, she’d order another thing before taking a seat next to the guy.

She would sit close enough for them to brush elbows or hands, put one sugar in her coffee and wait for the waiter to bring her next order. That was when she knocked off the tray to the table next to her, and looked the guy in the eyes to catch his first impression.

Did he look twice? Was he annoyed and went back to what he was doing? Did he have a friendly and inviting smile she could work on? Did she blush at the sight of her? In which case she didn’t have to work much at all, or did he have any gesture that might suggest he was gay? She had to summarize all that in that first encounter or otherwise she would be wasting her time.

He was looking down at his book, legs crossed. “Love is A Dog From Hell” by Charles Bukowski. An excellent choice of literature, she thought. He was wearing a long-sleeved knitted sweater and washed-out blue jeans, dark brown leather boots, too clean for hiking boots, he looked more like an indoor guy.

With a few strands of silver between his wavy black hair, he was scruffy but neat. She reckoned he was in his early or mid-forties, no rings on his fingers. His nails were trimmed and clean, his hands looked soft, and must be a white collar. There was a subtle musky scent coming from him, cedarwood or tobacco Vanille, somewhere in there that seduced her sense of smell. Good hygiene. Nice, she thought.

He was deep in thought with his book, he didn’t even notice her when she sat at the table next to him. She couldn’t see his face clearly, but his profile already caught her attention. When the strawberry waffle sprinkled with powdered sugar fell on his table, he finally looked up.

His light brown eyes under his thick dark eyebrows looked at her, they didn’t blink. He wasn’t frowning, nor was he smiling. His expression was unreadable, but his eyes pierced through her. He was as handsome as a movie star with the kind of calmness of Michael Corleone. He even looked the right ethnicity, he looked Italian.

“I’m so sorry … I wasn’t looking … I’m so clumsy, please let me get you a new cup of coffee … can you bring whatever this nice man was drinking and put it on my tab?” she said to the waiter.

The waiter glanced at the man as if he was waiting for confirmation.

“Bring me the same thing, and for the lady … whatever she ordered, it’s on me … don’t worry about it,” his voice was deep and commanding, cool and calm, just like his demeanor. He closed his book and put it aside to help the waiter get the plates out of the way.

“Oh no … please let me pay for it, it was my fault,” she said.

His eyes were sharply pointed at her, a faint curve on one side of his lips told her he was amused. “A gentleman never lets a woman pay for his drinks,” he replied.

She smiled, she liked him already.

“Anyways, I’m a regular here … I’ve never seen you here before … so you’re like my guest,” he continued.

Cocky, she thought, but most intriguing and extremely good-looking. “Thank you … I was just passing by, this place looked inviting and quiet enough unlike most places on the weekends.”

He sat back and smiled, his cool stare made her nervous. “Must be my lucky day,” he said.

That statement was the assurance she needed to move forward with her plans. She extended her hand, “I’m Margot.” Her eyes twinkled, admiring the face she will be in bed with before the day ends.

His grip was firm, his hand was soft, “Richard.”

She moved to the chair across from him when the coffee arrived. “So Richard … what do you do?”

He worked in the hotel industry. He was too busy building a career, didn’t have any time to be married and have a family, or so he said. With his looks, he probably didn’t want to be tied down with just one woman. Typical, she assumed. But it was better for her that way. He said he was on leave, which he rarely gets, and spent it reading at his favorite coffee house, by himself. He claimed he wasn’t very social and didn’t have many friends. That part was believable, she was doing most of the talking for hours. Richard came off as reserved, a man of few words. When he did speak, his voice was deep and cool. He never goes into details whenever he answers her questions, then again, she didn’t ask too many either. Too much detail was not good for her plan. Judging from how relaxed his body language was, he must be at least a Manager at the hotel he worked for, or perhaps the General Manager. She wasn’t the only one who was doing the assessment, she could tell he was observing her too.

The Somerset Inn was a 15-minute walk from the pier. The day was grey, the night was starting to come alive by the lights. But The Somerset Inn was dim and looked rather sleazy from the outside. Richard folded his arms and stared at the flickering neon sign. “Why do I get the feeling that I won’t be getting your number or even your last name?” he asked calmly. “Simmins … Margot Simmins … that’s my last name.” He raised a brow, “And your phone number?” She smiled, “Just look it up … you’ll find me.” “Whatever happened to an old-fashioned chance encounter when a gentleman can take a woman home and pick her up again for another date?” “Oh … come on Richard, don’t tell me you’ve never done this before?” “You wouldn’t believe me if I tell you,” he exhaled deeply. “You’re saying … you’re a 44-year-old, attractive, single man … who never had a one-night stand?” “Is that what this is? A one-night stand? I thought we’re friends now?” She laughed, “Of course we are … that makes it a l

Richard had practically broken every rule she ever made for her sexcapades. He kissed her, they did it more than once, she fell asleep and ended up staying overnight. The man with the deep cold stare had turned her inside out, even though she didn’t want to admit it. She almost lost control of herself.When she woke up with the sunlight warm against her face, she tiptoed to put on her clothes. Richard was still fast asleep with less than half of his body covered under the thin white sheet, what a sight it was.She wrote a note and left $200 with it on the pillow next to him. She couldn’t get out of there fast enough. This guy was dangerous, he made her feel something she never felt before with any of her dates.His warm touches, his soft lips against her skin, his eyes, the way he smelled, and his kiss. She touched her lips as she experienced it again in her mind. She smiled and fidgeted in her seat in the backseat of a taxi on her way home. She reached into her sling bag to find the

ONE MONTH LATERJamie Knox was a freelancer. That much was true. She created Public Relations campaigns for small companies and non-profit organizations that didn’t have their own internal PR department, and whose values she believed in. She was also an advocate for animal rights and supported many causes to restore the environment.She made enough for a living by doing what she was passionate about. Her communication skills were beneficial to persuade major companies, the government, and the public to fund her campaigns, so she was often asked to deliver speeches or do presentations at fundraising events.She often worked with Perry who ran his own small event organizer company. They referred each other to the company that hired them because their field of work intertwined. One of their recent projects was the annual charity event for Save The Animals Foundation. The largest environmental foundation in Lancaster.Jamie was asked to be one of the speakers to introduce their activities

There were very few details about the mysterious tycoon that the public knew. For one, Gabriel inherited his parents' wealth when they died in a plane crash. He was 15 years old at the time, the only surviving passenger of the total 7 people on board. It wasn’t an exaggeration when they described it as a miracle.He was hospitalized for three months and then returned home under the guardianship of his grandmother. The only living family member he had at the time. Afterward, his family lawyers shut down any information anyone tried to get about the sole heir of the Love Dynasty.Gabriel was taken out of school and deprived of any social contact with the outside world. People could only speculate what the family lawyers and CEOs of his father’s companies were trying to get out of the poor boy’s tragedy. His name never resurfaced again until he turned 21 years old and eligible to claim his legal rights over his parents' fortune.No pictures had ever been taken of the young billionaire, i

“Are you okay?” Perry asked backstage.She shook her nerves away, “An audience with our beloved guest of honor, what could be better? Do you think he recognized me?” She was still in denial.Perry shrugged, “Why else would he request an audience with you at his table?”She shot him a look, “My program? Maybe he’s interested in that?”“Well … yeah … but you spent a whole day with him … and slept with him twice in one night … they say he has photographic memory … that’s how he managed to thrive with his father’s legacy.”Jamie slapped his stomach with the back of her hand, “You said he probably wouldn’t recognize me before my presentation?” She protested.“I had to say something … you looked like you were about to faint or something.”She didn’t feel much better than before, knowing she was going to be sitting across from him later that night. Now that she knew who he was, it made her even more nervous. Sometimes the things we hear about someone formed an image in our heads that determi

She tilted her head back and swallowed the rest of the liquor in her glass. She grimaced at the burning sensation in her throat and the airway through her nose. She gestured to the bartender to pour some more. “Wow … that intense, huh?” Perry commented, sitting next to her at the bar.They’d only been there less than 15 minutes and she was starting the night strong.“I don’t know what he’s playing at, if I said ‘no’ to his offer, all of the others would have withdrawn their donation … I didn’t know what else to do.”“You did the right thing … I mean, this is what you’ve been working for, it just so happened the opportunity came from someone you planned to ditch after a one-night stand,” Perry glanced at her while sipping his Martini. He raised an eyebrow, “It’s a little complicated, but it’s worth your while, don’t you think?”She took a deep frustrated breath, “I guess … if you see it that way … do you think he’ll ever bring it up? I wouldn’t know what to say … he obviously knew I l

The Q was located in the business district of Lancaster, right in the middle of the city center. It towered up to the 77th floor, the highest building in the city and the largest hotel in the country. It used to be known as The Quotidian where most businessmen and women owned a suite there and used them as a second home so it was easier to commute around the area in their busy daily life and work.It was solely owned by the Love Dynasty, along with dozens of other luxurious hotels in the world. There’s no telling what businesses were owned by the dynasty because they owned either a small portion, half, or the entire share of the businesses all over Lancaster. And by dynasty, it was under one prominent name, Richard Gabriel Love.RGL logo was plastered on the helipad on the 77th floor of the building, it was also plated in gold on the sign leading up to the 76th floor. It was a long way up, she had to get clearance to use the elevator, not to mention three security check stops along th

The suspense was killing her. She thought the meeting was going to be over soon without having to revisit that night. But who was she kidding, it was the very reason why she was sitting in that oversized luxurious office in the first place.“Okay … let’s just cut to the chase … let’s just get rid of the elephant in the room once and for all,” she got it out of her chest.Gabriel sat back on his chair, and crossed his leg over to the other, he seemed relaxed. “Do you know there are 5 women in Lancaster named Margot Simmins?”A question she didn’t need to answer.“Well … I do … because I’ve checked each and every one of them and none of them were you.” He took a deep breath, “That wasn’t very nice of you to lie to me like that.”“To be fair … you knew it was just a one-time thing, we were not supposed to meet again after that,” she was defensive.“And yet … here we are … and no … I didn’t know it was supposed to be a one-time thing, you seduced me into having sex with you in that God aw
