Chapter 1: The Unexpected Kiss

Ruby's POV“I can’t do this, Dad.” “I can’t marry a man I don’t know.” I try to protest while my father, Aolo Ferretti speaks, his voice reflecting the finality of his decision. “It’s for the best, Piccolo,” he responds. “You know I love you and wouldn’t do anything to hurt you. This will benefit you and the family.” “Benefit me?” I exclaim in outrage. “How can marrying a man I don’t know possibly be good for me, Dad?” “Ruby, I know the Petraki family. They are good people. Urso has been my best friend since we were kids,” he says, pacing. “This marriage is in your best interest.” “He’s going to move to Milan. He’ll join you in the family business, and we’ll merge our businesses together. You won’t have to leave home,” my dad explains. I can never believe that my dad is doing this solely for my well-being. I gently shake him off and walk over to the window in his study, gazing out at our estate. “What about Diavolo?” I ask, my gaze outside. Diavolo, my boyfriend for over a y

The woman in my arms is oblivious to how she looks.When she walks into the bar this evening, every man in the room turns to watch her, captivated by her long, smooth legs, creamy white skin begging to be touched, a slender figure with enchanting golden-brown eyes. But the most astonishing thing about her is her striking red hair, so vibrant it can only be described as Ruby red.As she approaches the bar, fidgeting as if she’s a housewife about to meet a secret lover, I can’t resist striking up a conversation with her.

Chapter 3: Pros and Cons

Ruby's POVOne minute, we’re talking, and the next, I can’t get enough of him. I run my hand through his hair and sigh into his kiss. Archer kisses like a god. He tastes like sunshine and sin. His body pressed against mine is sculpted, and I can’t feel an ounce of fat.Kissing him is a revelation; it feels as good as I remember. It isn’t the drink; it’s us.He moves me until my back is against the dining table. Neither of us wants to stop the kiss. I hop on the table, kicking off my heels, and he walks in between them, pressing his center to mine.“Archer,” I moan loudly as I run my hand down his back. I arch my back and rub against his erection, then wrap my legs around his back.He kisses my jawline down to my collarbone, then my neck, where he suckles on the spot where my pulse runs.He grinds his erection into me, and I gasp. He’s so hard and hot. I drag his lips back to mine and continue our kiss.His hand goes to my thighs and moves up steadily. Just as he presses on the spot wh

Chapter 4: Wooing His Bride.

Archer's POVI’m having breakfast at precisely the moment the flowers I sent to Ruby are being delivered. I’m enjoying a simple breakfast and wondering how long it will take before Ruby calls me. A smile creeps onto my face as I recalls what I wrote on the note I sent to her.“To the mysterious lady who swept me off my feet before I even knew she was mine. I fall asleep and wake up with thoughts of you. I eagerly await the day you will be mine. Yours, Archer.” I’m not sure if revealing the depth of my feelings is a wise move, but I don’t want Ruby to feel alone in this connection between us. My last experiences with women have led me to believe I’m incapable of developing attachments to them. With Ruby, though, it’s entirely different. The intense emotions I feel for her prove I’m capable of deep feelings. As my phone rings, I hurry to answer it. “Hello.”“Archie, how have you been?”“Jordan?” I ask as I take a seat on the bed.“Yup. Do you have any other sexy friends? How’s Milan

Chapter 5: The Ex

RubyAs I watch Archer playing with the kids, my heart aches, endearing him to me even more. I find myself smiling as he kneels down to pick up little Isabella, who couldn’t keep up with the other kids, and puts her on his shoulders. Isabella throws her hands up and laughs gleefully, and I can’t help but imagine him with our kids.I shake my head to clear these thoughts. It feels too soon to be falling for him so quickly, doesn’t it?Suddenly, I feel a hand on my shoulder, and I jump out of my reverie. “He is good with the kids,” Julia says as she stands close to me with her hands folded on her chest. “Yes, he is.”When I first met Julia, I thought she was too hard and solemn to care for these children. However, through the years of working with her, I’ve come to realize that her tough exterior hides a heart as soft as a mushroom. She’s a kind-hearted woman who lost her husband to war. At 48 years old, with her lean body, bronze skin, and dark eyes, she’s a beauty.In one rare moment,

Chapter 6: The Fight

Archer I’ve been in the best mood since I spoke to Ruby earlier in the day. After spending a week with her, not talking to her every minute is hard.I finally give in to my needs and call her this afternoon. She’s pleased to hear from me, I can tell from the excitement in her voice, and I berate myself for not calling more.We speak on the phone, and she gives me the details of how stressful her day is going. I want to offer to treat her to a full-body massage but restrain myself.In upper-class society, if you break it, you buy it. The last thing I want is for Ruby to think we are only getting married because we are being forced to.I check the time and notice I am going to be a bit earlier than the agreed time. I cruise around for a bit, keeping to simple routes so that I don’t get lost.Seeing a flower shop still open gives me an idea. I park out front and come down. I walk into the shop and am immediately bombarded by different pleasant smells.“Hello, welcome to Roses and Thor

Chapter 7: Silent Treatment

RubyMy view gets blurry, and I realize I was crying. The whole incident has been trying on my nerves and already tired body.I blink the tears away. I was not even sure if I was crying because Archer walked away without letting me explain or because of the bruises from Diavolo’s tight grip.I never expected Diavolo to be so hard and violent. In all the time we spent together, he’s never gotten drunk before. He was always the perfect gentleman. He has never even raised his voice at me before. It was one of the reasons loving him was so easy.I honestly wish he had realized his mistake immediately and fought for me. Not now, after weeks apart, after getting to know Archer. I feel torn between two men, and I don’t know what to do.I pick up my phone and dial home.“Hola. Ferretti’s residence.”“Hey Maria. It’s Ruby. Can you tell Pedro to send a car for me? I’m still at the orphanage.”“Yes, signorina Ferretti.” The call drops.I stood there in the parking lot, cold and tired for over th

Chapter 8: Making Up

ArcherI’m working on my laptop when I receive a call that my fiancée is here to see me. After making that call to her father earlier today, I expected to see her soon, but not this soon.I tell the receptionist to let her up and wait for her at the elevator. I’m wearing sweatpants that I sometimes sleep in but didn’t see the need to change. My fiancée had better get used to seeing me like this. I listen to the elevator coming up, then the bell rings, and it opens.My fiancée isn’t looking so proper. In fact, it looks like she left the house in a hurry. She isn’t looking as composed as she usually is, wearing an oddly floral skirt and a halter top. Her hair is down, which I love, and she’s wearing flats.Ruby also has a look on her face that I haven’t seen before.She storms out of the elevator and pushes me with both her hands on my bare chest.“Who do you think you are?”Another shove.“Fixing my wedding date without consulting?”Again, her hands raise to shove me, but I hold onto b

Chapter 9: Shopping For a House

RubyWaking up in Archer’s arms is divine. He smells like pine and man, and it’s intoxicating.During the night, we turned, with my back to his chest. I could feel his morning wood pressed against the back of my thighs. His strong, thick arm was thrown over my body, holding me down, and I luxuriated in the feeling.I blush furiously as I try to get out of his embrace without waking him up. A part of him is up all right, and I can’t help but smile.I raise his arm as delicately as I can to drape it over his thigh, then move to get away. My mission is successful when a hand around my waist draws me backward into bed.Archer turns and lays his torso on mine, promptly closing his eyes and starting to snore softly. It feels so good to feel his skin against mine, but I need to use the restroom.“Archer, I’ve got to use the restroom,” I say, squirming under him.Archer groans but finally lets me get up. The moment I get up, he rolls back to his stomach and starts sleeping again. I chuckle. A

Chapter 10: The Visitors

ArcherThe elevator opens while I’m working on my laptop. I don’t bother looking up. The only person allowed up without calling is Ruby.When I hear the clicking of her heels, I get curious and look at her. Damn! I feel like I’ve won the lottery every time I see her. Today is no different.She’s wearing a black dress with a red bow that gives me ideas. Her red heels make her already long and straight legs even sexier.I stand and lean back on the table as I watch her strut towards me. She’s wearing makeup today, which tells me she must have had meetings with suppliers.In one of our many conversations, my Princess confided in me that she feels like she’s not taken seriously by people outside her family’s company. They look at her and see a young lady and not the smart, intelligent worker she is. Ruby has started using makeup to make herself look more mature.Today, she’s wearing red lipstick, as red as her heels, and has her hair in a twist. It makes her look sultry and gives her a fe
