The Endgame (book 4 of The Arrangement Series) Chapter 18- Not Ready To Let Him Go
Getting Grayson up those god-awful stairs went even worse than Amberleigh had expected. The billionaire had winced, tensed, and cursed on the way up as expected, but it was when he went quiet that scared the fuck out of Amber. She would have preferred he screamed and cried to that awful, gut twisting silence. And worse yet she couldn’t even get to him as she was trapped down the stairs due to it being so fucking narrow.He’d tried to be stoic, especially in front of the other men. But Amber had wound up crying enough for the both of them when Grayson stopped responding. Giovanni had brought along his beefy friend Tito again and Amber began to wonder if that was the man’s official role in the gang, to help get injured men in and out of Doc Corbin's basement.Leo walked beside her the best he could in the confined space and tried to calm her panic the best he could.“He’s probably just out again Love. It’s probably for the best right now.”“But what if it’s something else Leo? What if h

Amberleigh thought it was the beginning of a bad joke, a chef, a hooker, two gangsters, and a billionaire walk into a bar. Well, there technically was a self-service latte bar at the fancy medical complex, but it was really just her exhausted mind running away with her that night. Or more correctly, that morning as they were on the cusp of dawn. She would need to make a stop at that latte bar or violence was likely to happen.And that violence was in danger of being directed at a certain man whom she wondered how she’d ever found him attractive. As Dr. Gainey let them in the back door, Amber had to resist the urge to take those same nails -she’d dug into her palms on the brutal drive here while listening to Grayson’s jagged breaths during each bump- and not rake them down the doctor’s face. How had she ever found the thirty-something man with the small, dark beady eyes, and full lips that spoke lies with a smile, in a velvet voice, worthy of her appreciative gazes and flirting? She de

It seemed the issue of what to name their daughter wasn’t going to be solved in a small, crowded waiting room at five a.m. Several more names had been crossed off the list, and fewer more added. When it’d become apparent that Grayson had flowers on the brain, perhaps from the fake ones in decorative vases in the room, Amber decided his suggestion of was the last straw. She asked the billionaire if he loved their daughter, and if he wanted to get laid ever again, after which he stopped making suggestions that morning. It was probably for the best.Surprisingly Tito, whom Amber had assumed to be the strong, silent type, had offered up a suggestion which went to the top of the list. Mariella had sounded beautiful rolling off his Italian tongue, and even though Amber doubted most would do the pronunciation of it justice, it’d still made the number one spot. At least for now anyway.Dr. Gainey returned not long after Amber closed her list and said she was taking no more suggestions. Leo’s

They stole the wheelchair. And Amberleigh had no fucking remorse on the matter. Besides Dr. Gainey owed Grayson far more than he could ever atone for and it was a start. It was one less thing they needed to take care of the billionaire over the coming weeks.This model was unfortunately not the collapsible kind, so it took some maneuvering on Tito’s part to get it in the back hatch. Amber heard a few curses in Italian emitting from behind the SUV as she got Grayson settled in for the ride back to the warehouse. It was a cozy ride as she, Leo, and Grayson were crammed into a single row of seating as Tito had to fold down the back row of seats to get their stolen property in. But Amber didn’t mind being so close to her boys.She rubbed Grayson’s back and shoulders on the ride, as he fidgeted constantly to try and get into a comfortable position. But there was none to be found. He was miserable, though he never said it, she could tell by the sweat on his skin, the tense of his body with

Amberleigh found a secret weapon in the war against keeping Grayson’s ass in bed, and it wasn’t just threatening to withhold future sex from him. It came in the form of a beautiful woman with silver hair, bright blue eyes, and a sweet smile, Viola Godwin, aka Grayson’s mother. For such a petite and gentle woman, Viola had no trouble keeping both of the men in her life in line.After the day had bled into a decent hour, and a nap on Grayson’s part, Amber had guilted him into calling his mother. He decided to stick with the car accident story. Amber chuckled when she could hear over the phone when motherly concern turned into angry mama bear whose cub hadn’t informed her immediately after he was hurt. She enjoyed the scolding he got and was thrilled with the declaration mama bear was coming right over. Upon waking, Grayson had already made the mistake, of asking Amber to bring him his laptop from his home office.With list in hand, Leo was sent off on a medical supply run, and Viola mad

Viola came by to sit with her son every day until the end of that first week. While Grayson loved his mother dearly, he’d soon grown tired of her company, not just because he hated to be taken care of, but also because of the stories his mother brought with her. She and Amber grew closer as the hours passed and their lips never seemed to stop moving, much to the surly billionaire’s chagrin.But Amber loved every fucking minute of her company, got satisfaction from the flushed cheeks or aggravated sighs from Grayson that his mother’s stories often caused. And she had the best stories indeed. Amber would tuck herself into the armchair by Leo’s bed and listen to Viola spill all the embarrassing anecdotes, often laughing until she peed herself a little. The stories were worth pure gold. Even though Leo often made an appearance in them, the chef never seemed to get embarrassed by their retelling and often added juicy details of his own. He seemed to enjoy the trip down memory lane while hi

While there was no magic make Grayson not an ass button, the billionaire’s mood did seem to somewhat improve with Amberleigh’s new battle strategy. Between that and the electric wheelchair Amber had Leo buy, it gave Grayson a greater sense of control. He spent the better part of the next morning trying to figure out a way to maneuver himself into it using 1.5 arms and the power of his thigh muscles. He seemed to like challenges and it gave him a focus to strive to achieve.And even though they didn’t like it much, Amber and Leo gave him a bit of breathing room to attempt it. Leo stood waiting in the wings of the room to intervene if things went bad. Amber was too nervous and had to force herself into a task to keep from hovering and cringing while it occurred. A fall wouldn’t feel good and could hurt his already fractured bones more. But she had to trust Grayson enough to let him try, to know his own body, his own limitations, and make his own decisions. Within fucking reason of cours

Leo laughed uncomfortably, but Ash’s laugh was filled with merriment. He was not offended in the least.“As I said before, there’s plenty of me to go around. But I’m just friends with everyone in this room.”“For now, at least,” said Ebony boldly, “don’t you two have somewhere to fucking be?”“Yes, we do. And we need to get a move on it before were late. Especially if we hit traffic. Amber give Ebony the list of instructions you made so we can hit the road.”Amber eyed Ebony and then Ash. There was definitely an attraction and sexual chemistry going on there. She was likely to return with Grayson bitching about having to watch his caregivers hook up while they both neglected their duties. She’d never hear the fucking end of that.“Yeah, I’m not so sure this is such a good Idea,” she argued.Ebony huffed, “We'll be just fucking fine here without you.”“At least come meet Grayson before we leave.”“I’ll go start the car Love. Meet me in five or we will be late. Ash, Ebony take care. And

Luckily, Leo had saved the heavy topic of conversation for the next morning. Not that Amber had given him much choice in the matter as she had pretended to be asleep when he finally crawled into bed beside her that night. The chef laid it on a bit thick in the morning though, when she’d awoken to breakfast in bed and then a foot massage.“What’s all this for?” Amber asked as she speared a piece of sausage with her fork.“Because I love you. And a queen deserves to be pampered.”The scent of vanilla filled the room as Leo squirted some on his hands to rub into her feet. It felt divine. The food tasted wonderful as she hadn’t realized how hungry she’d been until the first bite hit her tongue. She’d skipped dinner last night after all.She snorted, “Don’t get me wrong, I like it. But you didn’t have to do all this babe. I told you last night on the phone I was fine with you spending time at the hospital.”“With Elle there. I think we should get our feelings out in the open Love. I didn’t
The Endgame (book 4 of The Arrangement Series) Chapter 49- Numb
Amberleigh felt like she was intruding on what should have been a private moment between Leo and Elle. It had been five months since Leo had last seen the woman he’d once planned on spending his life with. Circumstances had pulled them apart, but had fate now brought them back together again? Was this the universe’s way of telling them all they had it all wrong? That Leo and Elle were destined to be together, and Amber was destined to be alone.Amber had once thought she’d be forever parted from Grayson, then a baby in her belly, and a life changing phone call had put him back into her life. But now he’d chosen to walk away from her once again. But watching Elle and Leo just gaze at each other with so many emotions on their faces, only helped Amber realize, that neither of them had walked away from each other in any ways that mattered. In any ways but the physical. Physical distance was often less painful than emotional.Elle and Leo looked like those people who could go a month witho
The Endgame (book 4 of The Arrangement Series) Chapter 48- Everything Is Falling Apart
Amberleigh had cried herself to sleep in Leo’s arms that morning. When she woke up, puffy eyed, she cried some more. Every time she believed she had a handle on her tears, they seemed to come upon her again. Sometimes they crept upon her softly with seemingly little explanation and thoughts of sadness. Sometimes they came on violently with thoughts of anger. Needless to say, after an exhausted day of tears, Amber was in no mood to accompany Leo to the annual Godwin Foundation scholarship dinner that night.The last place she wanted to be was staring at Grayson and Courtney pretending to be a happy couple from across the table. To add salt to her wounds, she’d also be forced to play nice to Hugo Van Tessin, to face that evil bastard for the first time. And Daddy Godwin, another man she cared little for would also be in attendance. It seemed almost more than she could handle, especially in her current state of mind. She was a liability tonight and doubted all the concealer in the world
The Endgame (book 4 of The Arrangement Series) Chapter 47- Nothing Left To Say
Hostility, resentment, and unresolved feelings weren’t the only things waiting for Amberleigh back at the penthouse. Mr. Duvall, she assumed had placed their mail in Leo’s room. That was not odd in itself, but what was odd, was that Amber had gotten a letter at the penthouse. Few people knew she had resided there, and all her mail usually went to a P.O. box.At the penthouse, she’d gotten a random postcard once from Ebony as a joke, but that had been it. This time was different, it felt different as Amber looked at the cardboard envelope handwritten to her with no return address. But it didn’t have enough weight to it to be like a bomb or anything. At least she hoped anyway. Her imagination ran away with her, and she imagined getting anthrax or something from this mysterious letter from sender unknown.Leo was puttering around the room unpacking, being un-Leo like in his quietness. Still an after effect of the revelation and fight with his best friend. Not once did he make a joke or s
The Endgame (book 4 of The Arrangement Series) Chapter 46- I may not like you right now brother, but I will always love you
Grayson knocked on the bathroom door once to check on Amberleigh. She sent him away requesting to be left alone. A short time later, the billionaire didn’t even attempt to get back into bed with her and Leo, instead placing himself at the other side of the warehouse in her school work space. It was for the best as she certainly wasn’t up for cuddling with her baby daddy right now.Amber doubted she’d be able to fall asleep even after she snuggled up against Leo’s back. Her chef stirred and turned until he was facing her. She was greeted by a wide, sleepy smile. She found one for him somehow and snuggled in closer, wrapping her arm around his waist and burying her face into his bare chest. Safe and steady and warm Leo. While Grayson was often reckless and unstable and cold. Leo had always been the safer choice.“Good morning, Love. How’d you sleep?” he asked with a yawn.“I’ve slept better,” she replied honestly.“Bad dream?”He kissed between her eyes as if to kiss away the worry line
The Endgame (book 4 of The Arrangement Series) Chapter-44 Are You Serious? Chapter 45- I Hope It Was Worth It
She let out a deep breath and Grayson noticed her trying to cut him with her hard gaze.“Are you seriously suggesting what I think you are suggesting?” Amber demanded, “I don’t even know who you are right now.”Grayson merely sighed at her, as if she was an impertinent child and he was irritated by her interruption. By her trying to bring some fucking decency and morality back into the room. He’d lost his fucking mind for sure. This was not the way. This was not justice. It was vengeance.“And what does Van Tessin love most?” asked Ambrov.Grayson eye’s held Amber’s as he began to speak, “Money,” his eyes turned back to Ambrov, “Hugo love’s money above all else. If he loses it, it will destroy him. That’s the way to bring about his downfall. Destroy it from within by bankrupting him. Break down those contracts. Block new ones. Hold the monopoly on the market for his most prosperous goods. I know you are more than capable of making this happen Mr. Ambrov.”Amber sighed internally. At l
The Endgame (book 4 of The Arrangement Series) Chapter 42- Deal With The Devil And 43- Enemy Of My Enemy
Amber was suddenly more afraid than she’d been down in The Rabbit Hole.“Grayson? Where are we? What is this place?” she asked.But before Grayson could answer, a door in front of them opened. Another man, though younger, but no less dangerous walked out. He already had a coldness in his eyes though he couldn’t be more than eighteen. This man had never been a child, or not one for very long.“He is ready to see you now. Bring the girl. He wishes to meet her.”His accent was not as thick. He’d likely been born here or moved to the city while he was still fairly young.Grayson nodded, “Thank you. And I meant no disrespect. I’m honored he agreed to meet with me.”“As you should be. He does not grant audiences to most. His time is very important.”The man moved aside so Amber and Grayson could get past. She took a deep breath as she followed Grayson into the room. She couldn’t see the king of this underground empire right away, as her lover’s broad back blocked her view.The billionaire w

Instead, she allowed Grayson to lead her by the hand to that SUV. Her breathing was loud, her legs felt weak, but without his cane and with a bad knee, she was more of the one helping to hold Grayson up. Helping him keep steady as they exited the garage into the night.He kept murmuring into her ear that things would work out. There was nothing to worry about. They’d be home soon safe and sound. He wouldn’t let anything happen to her. But Amber really wasn’t listening to him. He’d already fucking let something happen to her.Amber spared a glance up at the night sky. The moon was full and round, the air crisp, and the sounds of life continued around them. Somewhere a dog barked, a car honked, a seagull squawked, the waves slapped against the docks. It's rhythm was almost hypnotic in a way. The rhythm of life helped to ground Amber, helped to keep her from losing her shit.A cold breeze snatched at her unbound hair, blowing it into her face, and causing her to shiver. She wore nothing
The Endgame (book 4 of The Arrangement Series) Chapter 39- What Have You Done?
Saturday ended on a high note, both literally and figuratively as Leo hit a vocal range no one knew he was previously capable of. This came as Amberleigh tried out a new sex toy on the willing test subject. A penis massage sleeve which also came with a suction feature, proved almost too much for her chef to handle as Amber slapped it on his large cock and cranked up the dial.Then of course, fair was fair, as Leo pushed a small insertable vibrator into Amber’s pussy. But it was no standard vibrator indeed as it came with a remote control. Leo kept the remote, enjoying messing with the settings and Amber being at his mercy. For several hours that night, often when she least expected it, Leo hit the button and both pleasured and tortured his fiancée.As for Grayson, while he wasn’t quite as adventurous at trying the new crop of toys, he did allow Amber to slide a penis vibrating ring up and down his shaft. But she wound up enjoying his new toy equally as much when it vibrated against he
