Waking from a peaceful slumber, I'm momentarily disoriented until I realize there are strong arms wrapped securely around my waist.

The familiarity of the cologne that envelops me instantly registers, and I know without a doubt that I'm in Adrian's arms. The realization brings a mix of surprise and comfort.

As the instinct to jump out of bed kicks in, the powerful allure of his cologne grips me, and for a moment, I pause. It dawns on me that Adrian must be asleep, providing an unexpected source of warmth and comfort.

The idea of slipping away crosses my mind, but the force to stay in my boss's strong arms is strangely compelling. In this moment, it feels right, and the notion of disturbing his peaceful sleep becomes a secondary concern.

Blushing shyly, I become aware that once again, Adrian is behind me. The closeness and proximity trigger a flurry of thoughts, and I wonder if he's typically this touchy and affectionate with others. Before I can delve further into my contemplation, th

  • Submitting to my Billionaire Boss   21. How fortunate of me.

    Lyra's povI couldn't contain the excitement bubbling within me as I stepped into the renowned club, a place with a reputation that preceded itself. This wasn't just any strip club; it was the very one where Stella, my dear friend, had lost her virginity.The allure of this establishment, coupled with the fact that it was owned by Stella's billionaire boss, hinted at a audience that was undoubtedly high-end and influential.The anticipation of my first night as a stripper at this exclusive venue fueled my enthusiasm. I sauntered through the dimly lit entrance, taking in the sultry ambiance that echoed with the throb of distant music.The air was charged with an intoxicating blend of excitement and possibility, and I couldn't help but revel in the prospect of what the night held.The dressing room, adorned with mirrors, females and adorned with a touch of glamour, became my haven as I prepared for the performance ahead.In the lively dressing room, snippets of conversations floated thr

  • Submitting to my Billionaire Boss   22. Read my mind.

    Returning home with Adrian after a dinner with one of his clients, a wave of fatigue washed over me. The evening had been filled with discussions, negotiations, and the constant need to be on my professional game. Now, the comfort of being back in my room offered a welcome reprieve.I entered the familiar room; a sigh escaped my lips. The day had been long, but the sanctuary of my room provided a sense of solace.Despite the weariness, a subtle satisfaction lingered. The dinner had been successful, and I could sense Adrian's appreciation for the effort I had put into being professional.I prepared to unwind and leave the formalities of the night behind. A quiet sense of contentment settled over me.In the intimate space of my room, the fatigue of the day lingered. I moved to shed the remnants of formality. The stilettos came off first, the click echoing in the room as a sigh of relief escaped my lips. Next, I pulled my hair down, the cascade of strands feeling like a small act of libe

  • Submitting to my Billionaire Boss   23. Drunken Haze.

    Entering the lavish restaurant, I couldn't help but feel a pang of unease. The atmosphere dripped with sophistication, and I, in my simple elegance, stood out like a lone daisy in a bouquet of orchids.The air buzzed with hushed conversations, laughter, and the clinking of crystal glasses.As we walked, my eyes involuntarily scanned the room, taking in the dazzling array of glamorous guests. My fingers fidgeted with the fabric of my dress, a sudden self-awareness settling in.Then, he was greeted by a stunning brunette—tall, confident, and exuding an allure that left me feeling inadequately subtle. They spoke in Spanish, a language I had no idea Adrian could wield so effortlessly, one more thing to add to his impeccable resume.The mellifluous words washed over me, and I couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy as the woman happily shared a connection I was not privy to, kissing Adrian on the cheek.Adrian turned to me, his eyes momentarily meeting mine. "Stella, this is Sofia, an

    Waking up, a heavy fog clung to my mind, and a nauseating churn gripped my throat. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks – I was sick, and the memories of last night's revelry flooded back.With an unsteady rush, I stumbled towards the bathroom, desperately trying to keep the roiling contents of my stomach at bay. The world swirled in disarray as I barely made it to the toilet in time, the unpleasant sound of retching filling the air.Each heave felt like a punishment for the indulgence of the night before. The bathroom tiles blurred in and out of focus as I clung to the porcelain, grappling with the aftermath of my own excess. Regret settled in, a bitter taste that matched the acrid echoes of my earlier sickness.As I caught my breath, the morning light filtering through the window seemed harsh, intensifying the throbbing headache that accompanied my queasiness.I couldn't help but chastise myself for the lack of restraint, the consequences of which now echoed in the quiet mise

  • Submitting to my Billionaire Boss   25. Ride with delight.

    Adrian's lips crash against mine in a searing kiss, his intensity stealing my breath away. I melt into him, returning the fevered embrace with eager passion as our bodies press flush together. His hands roam over my curves with an urgency that sets my skin ablaze.Our kisses grow more fervent, open-mouthed and hungry. Adrian's tongue dances boldly with mine as he rocks his hips, grinding his hardened length against my core through the thin barrier of our clothing. A desperate whimper escapes me loving how his thick cock felt against my sweet core.Breaking away to trail scorching kisses along my jaw and down my neck, Adrian hoists my leg up to wrap around his waist, opening me up for him. "You're so gorgeous," he rasps hotly against my collar bone. "I need to taste every inch of you..."His calloused palms blaze a path up my thighs, bunching the fabric of my nightgown higher and higher. I arch shamelessly into his touch, lost in the dizzying haze of lust and desire coursing through my

  • Submitting to my Billionaire Boss   26. Ride with delight part 2.

    My lips trace a path down Adrian's sculpted torso, feeling the heat of his skin and the rapid beat of his heart beneath my fingers. His hands find my hair, tangling gently as I make my way lower, planting kisses and soft bites along the way. Each touch elicits a low growl from him, a sound that sends a thrill through my body.When I finally reach his hips, I pause, glancing up to meet his gaze. His eyes are dark with desire, his chest rising and falling with labored breaths. I brush my fingertips along his length, marveling at the way he twitches under my touch. His cock was about the same size or even bigger as I had read in books.Adrian's response is a guttural moan as I wrap my hand around his hardened cock, stroking slowly at first, enjoying the way he shudders beneath me. I lean forward, my tongue darting out to taste the salty bead of precum at the tip. His hips jerk involuntarily, and I smile against him, savoring the power I hold in this moment.Gradually, I take him deeper

  • Submitting to my Billionaire Boss   27. Should I tell him?

    Lyra PovI wake up with a start, blinking against the harsh sunlight filtering through the curtains. As my eyes adjust, I realize Sebastian is already awake, propped up on one elbow watching me with an amused grin.Memories of last night come rushing back. One too many overpriced cocktails later and Sebastian's sultry glances and heated touches had me following him back to his penthouse suite.I can hardly believe I actually slept with Adrian's younger brother. He's part of one of the wealthiest families in the world. If Adrian is a billionaire, that technically makes Sebastian one too by default. Just your casual, mind-blowingly rich guy that I recklessly seduced and ended up in bed with.My gaze shamelessly roams over Sebastian's naked, muscular form peeking out from the tangled sheets pooled around his waist. God, he's like a living, breathing Greek god sculpture with that chiseled jaw and smoldering silver eyes.Part of me wants to slip out of bed quietly, mourning the likely fact

  • Submitting to my Billionaire Boss   28. Handsome liar.

    I wake up feeling utterly blissful, a pleasant tenderness pulsing between my thighs. As the lingering haze of sleep fades, flashes of last night's passion hit me. Adrian's searing kisses, his calloused hands roaming my body, the delicious grind of his hardness against my core.The way he tenderly kisses me going down to ravish my core and make me scream his name. The way I went down on him and drank all of his sweetness. I can't suppress the small smile that tugs at my lips. So, he was the mysterious stranger who I gave my virginity to at the club that wild night. It all makes sense now why his touch, his scent, felt so achingly familiar.It was my boss all along.Clearly things would definitely change after this.But yet...something still doesn't add up. If Adrian was indeed my sensual partner from that evening, how can he also be confined to this wheelchair? My brow furrows as I try to reconcile that missing piece of the puzzle.Heat rushes to my cheeks as I remember the vivid detai

  • Submitting to my Billionaire Boss   88. Get out!

    Adrian's PovStella was standing there, holding a baby in her arms. Her expression was soft, filled with warmth, and for a second, I almost believed everything was fine.But something was off.The doctors stood to the side, silent, their expressions a bit unreadable. A strange tension seemed to be in the room.Gabriella’s voice broke through the silence. “Adrian, come and see your daughter,” she excitedly spoke.I took a slow step forward, but before I could get any closer, one of the doctors stepped in front of me.“Mr. Lockwood,” he said carefully, his voice low, “we need to speak with you.... in privately.”Something about his tone made my stomach twist.I turned to Stella, who stood nearby completely unaware of the storm brewing behind her. My parents stood frozen, their gazes flickering between me and the doctors. Even Sebastian, for all his arrogance, looked uneasy.Reluctantly, I allowed the doctors to pull me aside.I wasn’t sure what I expected, but it wasn’t the words that c

  • Submitting to my Billionaire Boss   87. How crazy.

    Adrian's PovI sat in the wheelchair, my hands gripping the armrests tightly as Gabriella’s screams of pain filled the room. The beeping of monitors, the rushed movements of the nurses, the doctor's firm instructions, all of it blended into the background. Then the door burst open.Sebastian strode in, his presence instantly shifting the air. His jaw was tight, his eyes locked onto Gabriella with an intensity that made my stomach churn.“Sir, you’re not allowed in here,” the doctor snapped, stepping toward him.Sebastian barely acknowledged her. His gaze flickered to me before he spoke. “I’m the father of the baby; I should be here.”Gabriella’s head whipped toward him, pain forgotten for a moment as fury overtook her face. “You are not the father!” she screamed, her breath ragged. “Now get the hell out!”I would be lying if I didn't say I didn't expect this, in fact I did expect this.I clenched my fists, forcing my expression into something controlled, something that mirrored outr

  • Submitting to my Billionaire Boss   86. A three-way deadlock.

    Stella's Pov. I paced nervously outside the hospital room, my hands fidgeting with the hem of my jacket as the sounds of Gabriella’s labor echoed through the closed door. Adrian had gone in, of course. She’d asked for him to be there, to hold her hand while she brought their baby into the world. I bit the inside of my cheek, my mind racing. Gabriella had to have planned this. There’s no way she didn’t—having the baby now, just before Adrian and I were supposed to leave for the trip. She was always doing something to keep us apart. Such a bitch. I tried to shake off the thought, but it lingered, settling in like a bitter taste I couldn’t get rid of. I wanted to hate her for it. But more than anything, I hated how powerless I felt standing out here, waiting. Adrian’s going to be a father. A father. Pride swelled in my chest. I was happy for him—of course, I was. But a sinking feeling quickly followed, pulling me down. It wasn’t me in that room with him. It wasn’t my baby he’d be

  • Submitting to my Billionaire Boss   85. Finally Mine.

    Sebastian's pov.I sat inside the room, checking my watch for the hundredth time. Any minute now, he'd arrive. Adrian's time had finally run out, and the Lockwood empire was about to change hands.A smirk played on my lips as I thought about Adrian, off on his business trip with Stella. How convenient. When he returns, he'll walk right into the shock of his life. Everything he thinks he owns will now be mine.My mind wandered to Gabriella, heavily pregnant with what Adrian believes is his child. Oh, brother, if only you knew. Soon, she'll be handing that baby over to me instead.I've always been jealous of my big brother, something that I'd never like to admit. How he'd always manage to be the favorite. Outperform m

  • Submitting to my Billionaire Boss   84. An emergency.

    I'm nestled comfortably in bed, propped up against a mountain of pillows, with Adrian's strong arm wrapped around me. The scent of freshly brewed coffee and pastries fills the air, mingling with Adrian's cologne."Open up," Adrian says softly, holding a forkful of fluffy scrambled eggs to my lips. I oblige, savoring the taste and the intimacy of the moment.It's been four days since we arrived for this "business trip," though we've spent more time in this room than anywhere else. I can't help but smile, thinking about how attentive and loving Adrian has been. It's almost easy to forget the complications waiting for us back home."What's that smile for?" Adrian asks, his eyes twinkling with amusement.I lean into him, resting my head on his shoulder. "Just thinking about how perfect this is. How perfect you've been."Adrian kisses the top of my head. "You deserve to be pampered, my love. The three of you do," he adds, his free hand gently caressing my swollen belly.As if on cue, I fee

  • Submitting to my Billionaire Boss   83. Checkmate.

    Gabriella's pov I pace the length of my room, fury coursing through my veins. How dare he? How dare Adrian go on a two-week business trip with that homewrecker Stella while I'm seven months pregnant with his child? Our child. The audacity of it all makes me want to scream. My hand absently rubs my swollen belly as I try to calm myself. This stress can't be good for the baby, but I can't help it. Things cannot go on like this. I need to do something, and fast. "Damn you, Sebastian," I mutter under my breath. His incompetence is infuriating. Instead of getting rid of Stella like he was supposed to, all he managed to do was come up with some half-baked scheme about a fake father. Useless. I should have known better than to trust him with such an important task. I should have done it myself from the beginning. I stop in front of the full-length mirror, studying my reflection. Despite the pregnancy, I still look good. Better than Stella, surely. So why is Adrian so damn infatuated with

    Stella's povI stir awake, my eyes fluttering open to the soft afternoon light filtering through the curtains. The first thing I see is Adrian's face, his silver eyes watching me with a tender expression that makes my heart skip a beat."Good afternoon, sleeping beauty," he murmurs, reaching out to brush a strand of hair from my face.I smile, nestling closer to him. "How long have you been awake?""Long enough to count every freckle on your nose," he teases, leaning in to place a soft kiss on the tip of my nose.I giggle, wrapping my arms around his neck and pulling him closer. Our lips meet in a gentle, lingering kiss that sends warmth spreading through my en

  • Submitting to my Billionaire Boss   81. Together.

    I watch Stella sleeping peacefully in my lap, I'm struck by a pang of guilt. I've been neglecting her, allowing Gabriella's manipulative tactics to come between us.When Stella uttered those horrifying words - that our relationship was over - it was like a bucket of cold water to the face. I knew then that I couldn't let her walk out of my life. Not without a fight. This trip to Italy is my chance to make things right.Two weeks to spoil her, to give her my undivided attention, to remind her how much she means to me. As we approach the airport, I gently wake her."We're here, baby girl," I murmur, brushing a strand of hair from her face.Her eyes flutter open, confusion giving way to excitement as she remembers where we're going. I settle into my wheelchair as we board my private jet, unable to take my eyes off her as she marvels at the luxurious interior."Wait," she stops before staring at me wide eye. "What about Lyra, what if they try to harm her while we're away?" She asks."Ther

    Gabriella's face cycles through a range of emotions - shock, hurt, anger, and finally, a calculated blankness. Mark and Daisy exchange worried glances, clearly as taken aback as the rest of us.As for me, I'm frozen in place, my mind racing. A two-week trip to Italy? With Adrian? Away from all of this drama? It seems too good to be true.But as I catch Adrian's eye across the room, I see a glimmer of something - determination, perhaps? Or is it a promise of things to come?The shock of Adrian's announcement hangs in the air for a moment before Gabriella snaps out of her stupor. Her voice trembles with a mix of anger and desperation as she turns to Adrian."But I'm seven months pregnant, going on eight months!" she exclaims. "How am I supposed to cope alone?"Before Adrian can respond, Daisy steps forward, her voice calm and reassuring with a smile. "Mark and I will take very good care of you, Gabriella. You don't need to worry."Gabriella, however, isn't satisfied. Her next words make
