On her wedding day, Isla faced a series of disasters no bride could ever imagine. Her fiancé, Jeremy, dropped a bombshell in front of the entire congregation, revealing an explicit video of her and another man—a video she had no knowledge of or clue how it came to be. To make matters worse, Jeremy took things further by proposing to her sister right then and there. Devastated beyond belief, Isla ran out of the chapel—and his life—without looking back. She swore never to let herself be humiliated like that again and decided that love was no longer worth the risk. With her heart in pieces, she headed to the nearest bar to drown her sorrows in alcohol, where, in a haze of pain and anger, she met a handsome stranger. What was meant to be a fleeting escape turned into a one-night stand. She disappeared without a trace, determined to sever all ties with Jeremy. That included quitting her job at his father’s company—she didn’t want anything to do with him or his family anymore. As she searched for a new beginning, fate led her into the path of Jaxon Waverly. Jaxon Waverly—a billionaire CEO by day and a fearless Mafia leader by night. Isla becomes his secretary, unknown to her and Jaxon himself that she is Jaxon’s long-lost love and unforgettable one-night-stand. Determined to win her over, Jaxon will stop at nothing to make her his wife.
View MoreJaxon pulled into the company’s parking lot with Isla in his car, the two of them practically glued to each other. He leaned in, pressing his lips against her neck, decorating her neck with deliberate kisses.Isla’s hand rested on his thigh, gripping it firmly. Last night, Jaxon had refused to make love to her—the whole mood had shifted after Isla’s mother’s call—but now, he couldn't stop touching her. He kept bringing up how he regretted asking her to answer the phone, knowing he had to recreate the perfect atmosphere they’d lost. Isla had gone deeper into explaining what her sister and her ex-fiance did to her and this broke Jaxon. He wanted to make it up to her anyway he could.Jaxon had always been a perfectionist, and with Isla in his life, he was determined to make everything just right.“We’re here, boss,” the driver announced, shutting off the engine.Jaxon lifted his head from Isla’s neck, meeting her gaze. “Shall we?”Isla grinned and nodded. “Let’s go.”As the driver open
Sophie soon drifted off, her head resting on Michael’s shoulder, the soft glow of the television still illuminating the room. Careful not to wake her, Michael gently moved the popcorn bowl from her lap before slipping his arms beneath her. Lifting her in a bridal carry, he carried her to the bedroom.As he laid her down, her eyes fluttered open, meeting his gaze.“Are you not coming to bed?” she asked sleepily as he tucked her in.“Not yet,” he said with a small smile. “I’ve got a few things to do. You go ahead. I’ll join you soon.”Leaning in, he pressed a soft kiss to her forehead before pulling away. “Do you want me to adjust the air conditioning?” he asked.She shook her head, snuggling deeper under the duvet. “Nah, it’s perfect.”Michael reached for the light switch. Just as he was about to turn it off, Sophie whispered, “I love you.”A warm smile spread across his face. “I love you too.”He switched off the light and quietly stepped out, shutting the door behind him. Letting out
For a moment, Jaxon pulled back, their lips parting as they both caught their breath. Isla’s eyes fluttered open, her warm gaze meeting the hunger in his.“That was good,” Jaxon murmured, his face still inches from hers. “Your lips taste exactly how I imagined.”Isla arched a brow. “You imagined my lips?” she asked, a shy smile playing on her face.“And every part of you,” he admitted. “Might sound a bit mad, but it’s the truth. After last night, I couldn’t stop thinking about all the things I wanted to do for you… and to you—even the filthy ones.” His breath, laced with champagne, skimmed her skin as he whispered.“Then why’d you stop?” Isla asked before she could think, her voice just as soft. Their foreheads brushed as she met his gaze.“Because I needed to know you want this as much as I do.” He cupped her face, his thumb grazing her cheek. Her eyes fluttered shut as she leaned into his warmth.“I made the first move twice… remember?” she murmured, still resting against his palm.
Alex pulled up in front of Michael’s apartment and took the stairs to the second floor, where his place was. The elevator was out of order, but Alex hardly cared.He needed to make things right with Michael after what had happened that morning.Reaching the door, he knocked and waited.“Michael?” He called out, raising his hand to knock again when the door suddenly swung open.Michael stepped out hastily, shutting the door behind him in one swift motion.“What are you doing here?” he whispered, grabbing Alex’s wrist and pulling him toward the stairwell.Alex frowned, confused by his urgency. “What’s going on? Why are you acting so nervous?” He studied Michael’s tense expression and restless movements.Michael exhaled sharply, letting go of his hand. “Why didn’t you tell me you were coming? Just because you know where I live now doesn’t mean you can drop by unannounced.”The words caught Alex off guard. “I didn’t mean to just show up. I was going to call, but I realized I don’t have yo
Isla sat gracefully in the car, exuding an effortless charm that had Jaxon completely mesmerized. Ever since their makeover—his idea, of course—she had looked even more breathtaking.Her makeup was subtle, just enough to highlight her striking features. She wore a flowing white dress with a daring slit up to her thigh, its fitted bodice accentuating her figure before cascading into a soft, flared skirt. To complete the look, Jaxon had chosen a pair of gold heels and a matching purse for her.Jaxon on the other hand decided to get a new set of suit and he wore that. He didn’t want her to think he was not intentional about his own looks. He was also in his office outfits. “You’re absolutely stunning,” Jaxon murmured, leaning in close, his voice laced with admiration.Isla’s cheeks burned as she glanced at him. “If I’m counting right, that’s the sixth time you’ve said that since we left the mall,” she replied, her tone shy yet teasing.He chuckled. “Can you blame me? I can’t stop lookin
After working hours, Isla remained in the office, following Jaxon’s instructions. Meanwhile, Jaxon hurriedly wrapped up his tasks for the day. Before stepping out of his office to meet her, he went online one last time, ensuring everything was set for their official first date.The venue was ready. The meals were ready. He was ready. There was no turning back now. Grabbing his briefcase, he strode out of his office.As soon as he stepped into the room and his eyes met Isla’s, a wide smile stretched across his face. Moving closer to her desk, he let out a sigh. “This has got to be the longest workday ever. Felt like closing time would never come.”Isla smiled shyly, lowering her gaze. “I thought I was the only one stealing glances at the clock.” She chuckled softly.Jaxon leaned on her desk, his gaze locking onto hers. “I want to take you somewhere.” His voice was calm, deliberate.Isla furrowed her brows. “Oh?” She blinked, caught off guard. She had assumed they’d be staying back at t
As Jaxon worked, he kept stealing glances at Isla through the transparent office wall, his eyes tracking her every move. She could feel his gaze on her, making her stomach tighten with nerves.After finishing up some important scheduling, Isla pulled out her phone and typed a message to Sophie.“I think I’m about to start a romantic relationship with Jaxon Waverly.”The message delivered instantly, and as if Sophie had been waiting for it, her response came almost immediately—a voice note.“Took you long enough, girl!” Sophie’s excited voice burst through Isla’s speaker. “I was starting to think something went horribly wrong when I didn’t hear from you this morning. So, are you serious, or are you just messing with me?”A small smile crept onto Isla’s lips. “You know I’d never joke about something like this. Honestly, I’m just as shocked as you are, Sophie.”“I told you he was into you! But you kept convincing yourself there was no way he’d like you differently from the others,” Sophi
Alex’s lips found Michael’s lips without hesitation. He covered his lips and began to kiss him deeply, their tongues swaying and dancing rhythimically. While still kissing, Alex’s two moist fingers found their way into Michael’s hole and slowly drove them in. Michael’s lips parted in an inaudible gasp and he took a pause from kissing. “Look into my eyes,” Alex whispered against his lips, but Michael could barely open his eyes because of what was going on behind him. “I can’t…” He mumbled, as if almost in tears, throwing his head backwards. “I need to stretch you out well. Do you have a lube?” Alex asked as he drew his fingers out of him. Michael could finally open his eyes and their gazes met. “I have one in the room.” He responded in a low, hungry voice. Alex, without hesitation, grabbed him and lifted him of the couch. He wrapped his legs around his torso as Alex began to walk to the room. Alex gave him a spank on the butt, “Ahhh!” Michael’s breath hitched. Though it was a lo
After finishing his breakfast, Alex carried his dishes to the kitchen, walking beside Michael. Once there, he stood back as Michael took over, washing them himself.“You do know I can handle this, yeah?” Alex said, settling behind the center kitchen cabinet, watching him. “I’m not some spoilt brat who can’t wash his own plate after eating.” His voice held a teasing edge, but Michael only laughed and shook his head.“I never said you were,” Michael chuckled. “I just want you to sit there and watch me while I take care of you—and everything that concerns you.” He stole a quick glance at Alex before turning back to the sink.Alex rested his head on his palm, a wide smile creeping onto his face as he studied Michael. “Why do you like me?” He tilted his head slightly, his expression laced with curiosity.Michael smirked. “You seriously don’t know?” He wiped his hands on a napkin, then turned to lean against the cabinet, their faces now inches apart. “Have you looked in a mirror lately?”Ale
The solemn music filled the chapel as Isla walked down the aisle, her hand clasped tightly in her mother’s, both of them beaming with joy.
