"Knock knock!" Sloane called out as she popped her head around the door to Kit's office.Kit looked up with a smile and waved Sloane in. "Come in! It's great to see you."Sloane beamed at Kit warmly and set the two coffees she was holding on the desk. The two women gave each other a brief hug before taking their seats."Thank you for the coffee!" Kit said with a warm smile before taking an appreciative sip. "How have you been? It's been a few weeks since we saw each other.""I should be asking you that," Sloane replied with a coy smile as she took a dainty sip of her own coffee.Kit groaned and put her cup down before giving Sloane a rueful smile. "You saw the gossip about that disastrous dinner too, huh?""I'm afraid so," Sloane said with a sympathetic smile. "That's why I made an appointment with you today, I had to see if you were okay after all of that."Kit gave Sloane a grateful smile. "That's very kind of you. I'm okay, just ready for people to stop bringing it up."Sloa

"Do you like it?" Birdy asked from behind Kit as she examined herself in her closet mirror. The dress she was modeling wasn't in her typical style but Birdy had convinced her to give it a try - a fun, little beaded number.Kit turned around and sighed with a frown. "I'm sorry Birdy, I'm just somewhere else today. Maybe we should postpone - I'm just browsing after all."Birdy placed a supportive hand on Kit's elbow and guided her to the nearest seat. "You do seem rather distracted. Do you want to talk about it?"Kit looked at Birdy with uncertainty but nodded hesitantly. She didn't know if she could trust Birdy with her personal feelings but she needed to talk to someone before her head exploded.The two women sat down on the settee in Kit's closet and Kit took a few minutes to collect her thoughts. She looked at Birdy and took a deep breath, preparing herself to get vulnerable with someone she didn't know well."Okay," Kit started, wondering how much she could tell Birdy without s

"Are you ever going to answer that?" Gemma asked in an exasperated tone, her gaze fixed on her laptop screen. The sound of Kit's phone constantly buzzing against her desk was driving her crazy. The two women had been holed up in Kit's office, working for a few hours and it had been buzzing the entire time.Kit shook her head distractedly, her head still buried in the file on her desk. "No, it's probably Luca."Gemma's eyes immediately snapped to Kit, she lowered her laptop lid slightly and swung her legs off the couch and onto the floor. "Are we ignoring Luca?"Kit glanced at Gemma briefly before returning her eyes to her work. "Not ignoring him, I just don't have the time to talk right now."Gemma snapped her laptop shut and walked over to Kit's desk. Her long ponytail swinging with her haste. "Well, if you answer him, he'll probably stop calling. That's how that works."Kit hummed absently mindedly and otherwise ignored Gemma until her hand appeared in her peripheral vision, sna

"Okay! Listen up ladies, I left my man at home to come and be with you. There will be no moping on this trip," Gemma stated firmly as she looked the other three women in the eyes, one at a time.She was standing in front of the small party on a yacht while the rest of them were sitting on the cushioning in the front, enjoying their drinks. It was wonderfully hot and humid as they sailed along, enjoying the salty sea air. Kit had decided to invite two of her other friends to Gemma's impromptu Miami trip - Veronica and Alexandra. She's been close with them since college and kept in touch as they started their own businesses.Per Gemma's instructions, all the women were in fairly skimpy bikinis and ready to party. Kit had swapped out her braids for her collection of wigs; today, her hair was bone straight and brushing the top of her butt."B*tch please!" Alex laughed in amusement, causing Gemma to smile and wink at her playfully."That was clearly directed at me. So, f*ck you for that

"You've been avoiding me," Luca said as he made his way to one of the armchairs in the couch set. He sat down facing Kit and looked at her expectantly."Yeah, I have been avoiding you," Kit admitted with a nervous shrug. "I'm sorry."Luca waited a moment before speaking again softly. "Do I get to know why you've been avoiding me? I thought we were getting along, or even more than that."Kit sighed and sat across from Luca while fidgeting with the hem of her cover-up. "You're not actually my boyfriend, I don't think I owe you an explanation outside of my contractual obligations."Luca leaned forward angrily. "Don't start with that 'contractual obligations' crap. We're way past that and you know it. Cut the shit."Kit's nostrils flared in annoyance. "Don't get demanding with me. No matter what you think we have, I don't owe you anything."Luca laughed harshly and sunk back into his chair. "Unbelievable. You're worried that I'm the player but this is how you're acting?""You are th

Luca watched lazily from his position, lying reclined on the bed with a drink in hand, as Kit ran around and got ready for her evening. The valet had brought him a drink while she was showering after their - activities. His eyes followed her body appreciatively as she moved around the room.Kit laughed and turned around from the mirror as she fiddled with her earrings. "Stop staring! Your eyes are drilling holes into me."Luca smiled mischievously and ran his eyes down her body slowly before focusing on her eyes again. "I can't help it, you look different with that long, straight hair - I really like it."Kit rolled her eyes with a smile on her face, pleased that he'd complimented her. "Thank you. I'm definitely a bit of a problem when I bust the 24-inch out."Luca looked at her with a cute confused look on his face. Kit walked over to him and dropped a soft kiss on his lips. "You're so cute when you're lost. The 24-inch is the wig you just complimented."Luca's face cleared up in

"Hi," Luca greeted Kit with a beaming grin as she opened the door. She smiled back at him, kind of amused at how happy he seemed to see her."Hi yourself," Kit answered before stepping aside to let him in. Luca stopped and kissed her on the lips quickly as he entered her apartment. The lights in the apartment were set slightly dim, creating an air of intimacy and romance."What's in the shopping bag?" Kit asked curiously as she tried to peek inside to see the contents. Luca laughed and moved the bag out of her reach as he moved into the living area."Wouldn't you like to know?" he said with a grin as he set the bag down and waited for Kit to reach him. She pouted at him and stopped just shy of where he was standing."Awww," Luca laughed slyly. "You're going to sulk now? It's nothing exciting - some takeout and a few bottles of wine."Kit laughed and finally got to peek into the bag. She pulled out a bottle of wine and shook her head. "Did we really need three bottles of wine to ha

Kit let loose a loud wolf whistle as she spotted Luca entering the closet behind her in the mirror. She let her eyes run down his body appreciatively as he paused on the threshold of the closet with a smile. Luca was clad in a black, custom-made tuxedo with his hair slicked back."Don't you look yummy," Kit purred as he walked over to her and placed a kiss on her bare shoulder, directly where it connected with her neck."You look pretty edible yourself," Luca complimented Kit with a husky voice. "We don't even have to go tonight," he continued as his eyes devoured Kit.Kit snorted and pushed Luca away gently, walking to another part of her closet to search for earrings. "We can do that when we get back - I want to go to the Opera. You promised me we'd make it there this time."Luca chuckled with a devilish smirk and stuffed his hand in his pockets. "I guess I'll keep my hands to myself then. I'd hate to break my promise.""For the third time," Kit tacked on distractedly as she car

"Are you two sure you know what you're doing?" Kit asked, her tone heavy with skepticism as she watched Max and Luca trying to get the grill started."100%," Luca answered in a confident tone as he carried on working."Max definitely doesn't know what he's doing," Gemma called over from where she was lounging in the sun. "Thanks for the vote of confidence, babe," Max answered dryly as he scowled at Gemma."Got your back, babe!" Gemma answered back before turning to Kit with a smirk.Kit shook her head with a laugh from her chair and clinked her drink together with Gemma's. "This is the life, huh?"Gemma nodded eagerly. "Who knew Connecticut was so beautiful! I was telling Max we should definitely look for something in this neighborhood so we can be neighbors! Of course, we'll need something a lot bigger."Kit snorted with laughter and looked at Gemma curiously. "Why would you need a bigger place than this? It's just the two of you." She gasped and looked down at Gemma's flat st

"Hey handsome," Kit purred when Luca opened his front door."Uh - hi," Luca answered dumbly, shocked to see Kit. "I wasn't expecting to see you tonight."Kit smirked as she ran her eyes down Luca's bare torso slowly, following the v along his hips until it disappeared into his sweatpants."I can tell you weren't," Kit said as she playfully licked her red lips, her eyes flickering up to meet his amused gaze."Do you want to come in then?" Luca asked with a smile while already stepping back into the low-lit apartment. Kit smiled as she brushed past. Luca shook his head and turned to follow her; his eyes drawn to her long legs - exposed by her short skater skirt."Didn't know you were a sports fan," Kit commented when Luca finally caught up to her in his living room. She was watching the basketball match playing on his flat screen, as she stood behind the couch."Are you?" Luca countered as he walked up behind Kit and wrapped his arms around her waist.Kit shrugged and turned in Lu

"You know that you don't have to do this, right?" Luca double-checked with Kit. They sat next to each other at the table he'd sat at with Maya just a few days earlier.Kit smiled at him reassuringly as she fiddled with the handle of her teacup. "I know, but she'll probably come and pester you again. Let's just get this over with and out of the way."Luca squeezed her hand he was holding under the table, causing Kit to smile at him gratefully."What is he doing here?" Maya asked, announcing her arrival to the oblivious couple.Kit turned away from Luca and gave Maya a disapproving look. "Hello to you too.""What is he doing here?" Maya repeated testily, her eyes narrowed on Luca. "When you called me, I told you that I didn't want him to be here.""I don't care what you want," Kit said bluntly. "You can sit down or you can leave, your choice."Maya looked put out and sat down reluctantly, opting to completely ignore Luca and focus entirely on Kit. She smiled brightly. "How have yo

"Mr Brooks!" Luca stopped and turned at the sound of his name as he was exiting his office building. He was stunned to find Maya waiting for him, an odd expression on her face. It looked like she'd been waiting outside for a while. For a second, he wondered if James had also told Maya where their office was."Maya," Luca responded in surprise as she walked over to him. "What are you doing here?"Maya cleared her throat and adjusted her coat uncomfortably. "I was hoping that I could talk to you for a few minutes."Luca frowned and hesitated. "I don't know if that's a wise idea. I think you've already said everything that you needed to."Maya frowned and stepped closer to Luca. "I know that our last encounter was far from pleasant but all I need from you is a few minutes."Luca groaned and ran his hand through his hair. "Okay, there's a coffee shop in the building. Why don't we go and talk there?"Maya nodded and followed after Luca as he led the way back into his office building

"Are you ready?" Luca asked Kit as their car pulled up to the launch venue. She turned and gave him a brilliant but nervous smile."Born ready," Kit assured him with a nod before giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. Joey opened the door for Kit with a friendly smile. "Ready, kid?" Joey asked into the car. Kit chuckled and grabbed his hand as he helped her out of the car. "Thanks, Joe. You look really dapper tonight - are you going to hang around and enjoy the party?"Joey nodded as he smiled at Kit affectionately. "I wouldn't miss this for the world. You look gorgeous by the way."Kit smiled at Joey and did a little turn playfully. Luca stepped out of the car and pulled her into his side with an admiring gaze. "I'm the luckiest man here tonight.""Don't you forget it," Joey said sternly, punctuating the end of his sentence by closing the door. "You two kids have fun. I'll see you inside." Luca smiled at Joey before leading Kit toward the doors to the building. The room burst
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 44: Can I Ask You Something?
Kit opened the door to her apartment and stopped in surprise before stepping back outside and checking the number on the door. She walked back in slowly and closed the door behind her before turning and surveying the dozens of vases of blood-red roses decorating her home.There was a trail of rose petals, lined with lit vanilla-scented pillar candles lining the way. Kit hesitantly followed the trail into her living room, where she was stunned to find dozens more vases of roses.The rest of the trail led to the open balcony doors where Kit could see Luca's back facing her."Luca?" Kit called questioningly, causing him to whip around with a giant grin on his face. "Hey," Luca greeted her softly as he walked toward her and pulled her into a hug. "How was the rest of your day?"Kit looked at him as if he'd grown two heads. "How did you get in here? Wait - don't tell me. Gemma, right?"Luca chuckled quietly as he pulled her into a searing kiss. "Smart and beautiful - I'm a very lucky

Luca looked up from his phone when he heard the knock on his office door. "One minute!" He took his time walking to the door and then took a few moments before turning the handle."Sloane," Luca deadpanned as he opened the door.Sloane smiled at him tentatively. "Luca. I was pleasantly surprised you wanted to meet up."Luca nodded stoically and gestured for Sloane to enter. Sloane's smile wavered slightly as she walked into the office before it fell off her face completely when she noticed Kit perched on Luca's desk."Sloane," Kit said with a satisfied smirk at Sloane's put-out expression.Sloane turned back to Luca with a frown painted on her lips. "What is she doing here?""She can speak for herself," Kit interjected smugly as Luca walked back to his seat behind the desk. Sloane stood in the middle of the room, staring at the two undecidedly for a second.Kit gestured at the couch behind Sloane helpfully. "Why don't you take a seat?"Sloane smiled at Kit nervously before obli

"You didn't have to walk me to my door," Kit said with a smile.Luca gave her a charming smile in return. "I couldn't let you carry your bag up. Not the gentlemanly thing to do."Kit shook her head but didn't argue, the two smiled at each other as they walked down the hall. Luca looked ahead and his face darkened. Kit noticed the change and followed his line of sight. Her smile disappearing as she spotted Maya standing in front of her door.Kit stopped walking as she felt irritation rising within her. The fact that her mother couldn't even give her at least a week before completely ignoring her wishes."We don't have to stay," Luca murmured as he looked at Kit in concern.Kit smiled at Luca and squeezed his hand gratefully before shaking her head. "She's not scaring me away from my own home."The two clasped hands as they walked the rest of the way to Kit's door. Maya's expression flickered to one of disdain when she spotted their hands intertwined. Wisely, she chose not to say a
