The Billionaire’s Pet 62.
Lily's POVWe stayed in that position for God knew how long—him in the movie seat, me between his legs with his erection in my right hand. I stared at his face, at the serene look that appeared as he recovered from his orgasm, and his dick relaxed beneath my fingers.Finally, I let go of his dick and stood to my feet, coming to sit beside him. Together, we sat in relative silence for minutes."Lily...." Aiden called finally, breathless."Yeah?" I answered."Do you have any idea what you do to me?" He asked, voice hoarse. "Do you have any idea just how aroused you make me? I could go crazy for your body beside mine."A violent red stained my cheeks, and I looked away. Words had failed me suddenly.“Do you have any idea how much I want to be inside you right now?” he asked.“Then why aren’t you?” I responded, loving the feel of him pressed so close to me on the seat, my back leaning against the rest, my shoulder touching his. But even still, in some far corner of my lust-fogged mind, I

Aiden's POVI stepped forward to her determinedly. "Lily, you cannot follow me. It defeats the whole point of keeping you safe!"But Lily wasn't about to back down. "You need an escort there. Do you know how strange it would seem if you went there on your own? I have to follow you," she declared with unwavering determination.Surprised by her sudden insistence, I shook my head. "Absolutely not, Lily. It's too risky. I can handle this on my own."Her brows furrowed in defiance. "I won't be a liability, Aiden, I promise. I'll stay by your side, and together, we can handle anything that comes our way."I sighed, knowing her argument held some truth. Yet, the thought of involving Lily in potential danger was something I couldn't easily accept. "Lily, it's not safe. I can't risk your safety."She crossed her arms, her expression resolute. "I won't let you face this alone. I'm going, Aiden.""I can't let you do this, Lily," I insisted, my voice firm. "The whole reason we came to Pennsylvani

Lily's POVAs I sifted through the dresses, it felt as though I was thrown back in time. Every single dress seemed to carry a story, a piece of Aiden's mother's life before her demise. I saw what looked like a dance card in the pocket of a flowery satin dress, a crushed lily petal in between the sleeves of another.Every single one felt ethereal and timeless.Finally, I carefully selected an elegant yet understated black dress, fitted at the hips and ending in a short flair. Its straps were thin and ended in a crisscross at the back.I pressed the cloth against my body and stared into the closet's mirror in apprehension. What if the party people saw through me? What if they discovered I wasn't a woman worthy of Aiden Blackwood, and I was merely a lowly girl from Brooklyn?I sighed finally and draped the dress over my arm, hoping to honor the memory of the woman who still held a special place in Aiden's heart.When I stepped out of the closet, Aiden was waiting for me patiently in the

Lily's POVMy heart lurched. My moment of awe faltered when I spotted Ricardo in one corner of the room. He was in the middle of a conversation with two other men, who also appeared to be mafia lords. A flute of what looked like champagne was in his hands, and he took a slow sip from it.His imposing presence sent a chill down my spine, and I shivered involuntarily. My eyes darted around frantically, trying to locate Aiden and communicate to him that the man we were running from was in the room.Finally, I caught Aiden's eye. He noticed the change in my demeanor and cast a concerned glance in my direction.A thought suddenly occurred to me.What would happen if I communicated to Aiden that his archenemy was also a part of the enemy? I knew Ricardo to know that he would try to make a passI forced a smile, attempting to shake off the unease that Ricardo's presence brought. The presence of this man was affecting me too much, and I absolutely hated it.The room buzzed with conversations

Lily's POVMy cheeks burned with heat as I watched the women walk into the toilet stalls, giggling and muttering to themselves. They could obviously see through my fancy chignon and my silk black dress. They could see that I was not one of them, and never will I be.Leaning against the cool bathroom wall, I took a deep breath to steady myself again. I tried to remind myself that this was a party, and I could choose to enjoy myself or not.But I couldn't shake off the nagging thoughts of Ricardo's unsettling presence. The glitzy chatter outside seemed worlds away from the angst and darkness within me. With a heavy sigh, I finally admitted to myself that there was no use running from the man—I had to face him.And the only way I could do that was to find my way back to the party hall.As I prepared to step back into the glamorous chaos of the party, the hushed voices of the two women caught my attention. They were engaged in an animated conversation that quickly shifted to a topic that

Lily's POVThe force of his words left me speechless for a second. "Punished?" I whispered."Yes." He replied. And with one sweep of his arm, he lifted me in the air and placed me to sit on the sink.Kiss me! I screamed in my head with a strange, unfamiliar need, completely captivated by him. I was staring openly at Aiden's mouth now, utterly mesmerized, and he was looking down at me, his gaze hooded, his eyes darkening. He was breathing harder than usual, and I had stopped breathing altogether. I’m in your arms. Kiss me, please, I pleaded inside of me. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then settled himself in between my legs.Suddenly he pushed forward, pressing me against the mirror behind me. Before I knew it, he had both of my hands in one of his in a shackle-like grip above my head.Holy shit. His other hand grabbed my hair and yanked it down, bringing my face up, and his lips were on mine. I moaned into his mouth, giving his tongue an opening. He took full advantage,

Lily's POVAiden grinned and grabbed my hand, and together we walked out of the bathroom, returning to the lively pulse of the still-swinging party. I didn't miss the fact that Aiden didn't wash my wetness off his hands. The thought of it made me blush. It was as though he was wearing me branded against his skin, and being unapologetically brazen about it. It made me lick my lips in nervousness.As we stepped back into the hall, the music and laughter enveloped us again. The first thing I did as we stepped in was to search for Ricardo. My eyes darted around the dimly lit room, searching for the familiar scar on his face, or the buzzcut he always sported.Leaning down to me, Aiden's whisper brushed against my ear. "We need to find Frank Accardo and thank him before heading home, don't you think?"I nodded in agreement. "Yeah, you're right."Aiden paused and relaxed his fingers, obviously trying to let go of me. "Okay, wait for me here while I go and—""No, no!" I protested as fear gri

Lily's POVAiden's hand was firm around mine as we briskly walked towards the car, but my unease lingered like a shadow. The Accardo mansion loomed behind us like a large silhouette of a beast against the night.As we approached our car, a chill ran down my spine, intensifying the feeling that something was about to go horribly wrong. I glanced around nervously, my eyes scanning the shadows for any sign of trouble.I shivered involuntarily, and Aiden stopped me. "Perhaps you should have taken a jacket along with you when you wore this dress." He murmured as he shrugged off his own jacket. "You'll catch your death of cold this way.""Thanks," I whispered as he threw his jacket around my shoulders and tucked it around me. And for a fraction of a time, I felt warm, safe, and protected."Let's go." He whispered and continued leading me towards where the guests' cars were parked.Just as we reached the car, a loud voice cut through the air, stopping Aiden in his tracks."Mr. Blackwood!" Th

EPILOGUEAiden's POVSeveral months later found me rushing down a corridor of Doctor Turner's hospital, my heart in my throat. Behind me, I could hear Lucas' hurried footsteps as well.We met Mira halfway down the corridor, and I stopped panting. "Where is she?" I asked. "Tell me!""I....she is....in the labor room right now!" Mira stammered. "Doctor Turner has assured us that she will be fine—""I don't bloody care!" I roared. "Take me to my wife now!"Mira nodded vigorously, then began to race down the corridor, Lucas and I closely behind her. She stopped before a door, from which I could hear labored wails and the soothing murmurs of the doctors.Without waiting, I pushed open the door and walked right in to see Lily on a bed with her knees up in the air. Her dress had been raised all the way up to her chest, and I could see about half a dozen doctors and nurses gather around her.Doctor Turner turned to me, and his eyes widened. "Mr Blackwood! What are you doing here?""What....wh

Aiden's POVAs I held the bullet in my hand, fury ignited within me like a blazing inferno. This was Ricardo's doing, I knew it in my bones. He was the only one brave enough to try to harm Lily so openly; the only one who was the thorn in my flesh.I turned to face Mira and Lucas, and I saw the curiosity in their eyes. Mira's voice cut through the tense silence, her concern evident. "What did the doctor say?" she asked.Without a word, I lifted the bullet, its engraved surface gleaming ominously in the dim light of the hospital. Their eyes widened in shock as they took in the sinister detail. "That bullet..." I began, my voice heavy. "It bears Lily's name. Ricardo's twisted way of sending a message. He wanted to kill her?""Why would he do that?" Lucas asked. "From what I know, he wanted her for himself.""I don't need to know why he wanted to kill her." I declared. "Because today, I will put an end to Ricardo's reign of terror. Once and for all.""You're not....going to Ricardo alon

Aiden's POVI turned away from Lily, walking to the corner beside the window of Lily's living room. I dialed Joe's number, my heart racing with urgency. The events of the evening replayed in my mind like a nightmare. Two beeps told me that Joe had picked up the phone. "Hello, boss." He called."Joe, listen carefully," I began, my voice urgent. "There's been a shooting at Lily's house. Mitch is dead, but there's a sniper outside. Send backup immediately!""Okay, wh...what?" Joe stammered; he sounded as though he was half asleep. "What's going on?""Wake the fuck up!" I snapped. "Come to Lily's house with six men. There's a body to clean up!"Before Joe could respond, a piercing scream cut through the air, freezing me in place. I whipped around just in time to witness another gunshot and a spray of blood. Lily crumpled to the ground, her body convulsing in agony.Time seemed to slow as I watched in horror. Lily lay bleeding before me, her body splayed on the ground. The phone slipped f

Lily's POVLucas nodded in agreement with my words. "You're all the family I need, Lily."A warmth spread through me, filling me with a sense of belonging and reassurance. He was all the family I needed too, especially in moments like these, when it seemed as though we were moving from problem to even bigger problem.With a wide smile, I stretched out my arms and pulled Lucas into a tight hug. At that moment, as we stood together in the dimly lit room, I felt a sense of peace settling on me like never before. Despite the scary things that had just happened, I felt calm and happy.But just as I began to relax into the embrace, the sound of banging on the door shattered the silence. My heart raced with fear as I ducked down, instinctively seeking cover from the unknown threat on the other side."Hey! Open the door!"Relief flooded through me when I heard Mira's familiar voice calling out from behind the door. With a shaky breath, I rose to my feet as Aiden crossed the room to open the d

Lily's POVAiden's eyes widened in shock, and for a moment, he seemed unable to speak. Then, a wide smile spread across his face, and he stepped forward, his arms outstretched as if to embrace me. "Lily, that's... that's incredible!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with joy and disbelief.I couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth at the sight of his genuine happiness. But beneath it all, a gnawing sense of uncertainty stayed inside me. "I... I know," I stammered, my voice barely above a whisper. "But Aiden, I don't know if I can do this. Not now, not in this... this situation. With Ricardo, and all. If he knows about this, he will—"Aiden's smile faltered, and he reached out to gently take my hands in his. "Lily, I understand that this isn't ideal," he said softly, his voice tinged with concern. "But we'll figure it out together. We'll make it work, I promise. To hell with Ricardo!"Tears welled up in my eyes as I looked into his earnest gaze. "I want to believe you, Aiden," I whispe

Lily's POVThe rest of my day—and week—seemed to go by in a blur. I couldn't recollect the meals I had or the conversations I endured. All I could think of was this baby. My baby.Before slipping into bed on the very last night, I closed the bedroom shades against the New York moon. In the day, I hated the sunshine because It reminded me too much of Aiden and the time we'd spent in Pennsylvania, but this moonlight was almost as bad. It was so cold. And felt so strange. As odd and unfamiliar as this house, these people living with me and my own skin.Finally, I rolled onto my side and rubbed my stomach. When I found that I was pregnant, I had tried and failed to find some outward sign of my condition. But in only the past few days, I had detected a slight rounding of my belly. This child was growing.This child. My baby. A stranger, like its father had grown to be. How I yearned to know how this child had been conceived. Was it when Aiden and I had survived the battle with Ricardo? Wa

Lily's POVIt was exactly two weeks after I met with Ricardo, when I woke up one morning feeling unusually bloated and disoriented. Later I would remember that day and think about how suspicious it had been, how I should have known something was terribly wrong.My head throbbed with a dull ache, and a wave of nausea washed over me as I struggled to sit up in bed. The room spun around me, and I clutched my stomach, willing the queasiness to pass.Just then, a gentle knock echoed through the room, and I mustered the energy to call out. "Come in!""Good morning!" Mira chirped. She stepped in with her characteristic cheerful smile, carrying in her arms a tray of breakfast.She closed the door with her foot. "I noticed that you slept in today, so I decided to wake you up with your favorite.""Thank you, babe," I murmured. My voice sounded as though a whole pond of frogs had decided to nest in my throat.Mira's smile faltered as she observed my lack of energy."Lily, you don't look so good,

Ricardo's POVI placed the telephone on the polished wooden table, its weight settling with a resounding thud. Sliding into the leather-upholstered chair, I reached for the crystal decanter, pouring a generous measure of brandy into a crystal glass. The amber liquid swirled, casting an enticing glow in the low-lit room.With a flick of my wrist, I lifted the glass to my lips, savoring the rich, smoky aroma before taking a sip. The fiery warmth spread through my chest, momentarily killing the cold reality of my surroundings.I turned in my chair, and my gaze fell upon the lifeless form of Liam sprawled across the floor, spread-eagled and looking stupid. He was stupid. He had always been. I couldn't forget the first day he strutted in here, acting as though he owned the place. I didn't do well with men who thought they were better than they really were.I despised men who talked too much and pretended to have a confidence that they didn't truly possess. Liam had been a loose end, a nu

Ricardo's POV"Boss! Good afternoon!"Liam strolled into my office, a sly grin playing on his lips. I couldn't shake the feeling that his visit was laced with ulterior motives. I leaned back on my chair, watching the man as he strode over to me. Everything about him simply set me on edge. His curly, blond head of hair, baby blue eyes, and dimpled smile made him look like some innocent kid, but I could see through that facade.I knew exactly what he was. A con. I'd known from the first time my men had led him into my office, some three or four days ago.However, I pushed my angry thoughts aside and plastered a smile on my face. I extended my hand for a handshake, a customary greeting. "Good morning, Mr. Liam." I greeted.Liam ignored my outstretched hand as though it was the nearby file cabinet. I watched with mounting annoyance as he breezed past it as if my office were his domain. He slumped into one of the chairs in front of me with a great groan of satisfaction."I cannot say th
