The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 24: More Than Contractual Obligations
"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

The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 27: Date Night
"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
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 28: Gemma Knows Best
"Well, you look awful," Max said in lieu of a greeting as he opened the door. Kit glared at him before pouting and falling into him.Max chuckled as he put his arms out and caught her. He dragged her limp body inside and closed the door behind them before patting Kit on the head comfortingly."Gemma!" Max called into the apartment. "Kit's here and she's in despair again.""Coming!" Gemma yelled back loudly, followed by the sound of footsteps as she scurried to the front door."You look pathetic," she told Kit as she entered the entryway and spotted them."You and your husband are completely tactless!" Kit grumbled into Max's chest before turning to look at Gemma tiredly.Gemma shrugged with a concerned smile. "And yet you keep coming over. We'll be in my office babe, could you bring us some drinks please?"Gemma grabbed Kit's elbow and towed her through the apartment, to her home office. The walls in Gemma's office were painted a pretty, pastel blue color with white skirting. Th
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 29: You Scratch My Back…
Sloane sniffed disdainfully as she looked at the house in front of her, it wasn't really to her taste and she had no doubt the inside was just as tacky. It was a cookie-cutter house, the same as every other one in the neighborhood. Sloane sighed before ringing the doorbell, then waited a few moments before ringing it again. She was about to ring the doorbell for the third time when a disgruntled Maya opened the door."Can I help you?" Maya asked frostily, unimpressed with the impatient stranger on her doorstep."I think we can help each other actually," Sloane answered with a cold smile. "May I come in?"Maya eyed her distrustfully. "How can you possibly help me?"Sloane tilted her head and narrowed her eyes slightly. "You don't want your daughter dating Luca Brooks. I can make that happen."Maya looked at Sloane blankly for a minute before stepping aside and gesturing for the young woman to enter."Please follow me to my office," Maya said as she led Sloane down the hallway t
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 30: A Set Up
"Thanks, Dimitri," Luca smiled gratefully as he accepted the cup of coffee from the elderly Greek man.The small restaurant wasn't much to look at, booths with faded, brown leather seats lined the walls with a few tables cluttered in the center. The wall was a light, tan color and adorned in framed newspaper clippings and paintings of marble statues and Greek monuments.Dimitri smiled at Luca toothily and pulled a small notepad out of his apron pocket. "What can I get for you today, Luca? The usual?"Luca smiled boyishly and shrugged. "You know me too well."The older man bobbed his head and disappeared to place Luca's order. Luca picked up his coffee and brought the mug to his nose, inhaling deeply with his eyes closed. Taverna was where he came to relax and unwind away from the public eye.Dimitri and his family didn't care about Luca's last name and had never told anyone that he frequented their little restaurant. He'd discovered this place one night in college and had been com
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 31: Mom's Always Right
Kit grunted sleepily as the banging at her door continued insistently. She was shuffling toward the door with her eyes half-closed and in her PJs, wondering who was at her door before 6 am."Someone better be dying," she muttered as she finally reached the door and pulled it open. Surprisingly, her mother was standing there, looking a combination of smug and agitated."Mom?" Kit asked in confusion as Maya brushed past her and headed for the living room."I told you!" she declared before pulling a brown envelope out of her bag and slapping it down on the table. "I told you but you never want to listen to me. Is spiting me worth getting hurt?"'What?" Kit asked, still confused as she caught up to her mother in the living room. Maya silently gestured toward the envelope on the table and disappeared into the kitchen without a word.Kit watched her go in annoyance, wondering what was going on and if the dramatics were strictly necessary. She picked up the fairly thin envelope and turne

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
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 49: One Big Happy Family
"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
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 48: Late Night Visitor
"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
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 47: There Was An Attempt
"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
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 46: The Worst Kind Of Surprise
"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
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 43: Facing The Music
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
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 42: Back To Reality
"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
