The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 40- Not To Me, You Aren't
Finally, a couple hours after sunrise, Amberleigh slipped out of Leo’s bed, and after a pit stop to relieve herself, she made her way towards the kitchen. Leo was normally an early riser, but he was caught in a medicated sleep and his body still needed the extra rest. Amber had tucked him in and went about her business quietly as not to wake him just yet. She had about another hour until his morning antibiotics were due and she was feeling confident she could handle the job. But first she needed coffee. She took her bottle of ginger supplements with her towards the kitchen as she had no intentions of asking the cunt’s chef to prepare her anti-nausea tea. She heard voices echoing from the dining room. It made sense that Grayson wouldn’t dine in the breakfast nook in the kitchen while he was entertaining guests, even unwelcomed ones at that. Amber made her way to the fancy coffee maker to make herself a cup. The smell of the breakfast Francois had cooked still lingered in the air makin

Amberleigh was slightly annoyed that Grayson insisted on overseeing Leo’s morning antibiotic infusion. The only thing which kept her from being pissed off was because she’d come to learn his need for control was a part of the billionaire’s personality. He didn’t think her completely incompetent to get the job done, rather he wanted to feel useful and didn’t take a hands-off approach very well. He also blamed himself for Leo’s current predicament and wanted to do everything in his power to get him well. So, Amber tolerated him breathing down her neck that morning.Grayson criticized how quickly Amber flushed Leo’s IV, telling her she’d blow his vein. He also reminded her not to puncture the bag of antibiotics when she spiked it with the IV tubing, before he took over the job himself. She took calming breaths and let him complete that task. She set the IV pump and got settled in next to Leo for the hour-long infusion.Amber managed not to bite Grayson’s head off while he talked through

Amberleigh hated things being so fucked up with Grayson, but at the same time she didn’t know how to fix it. And Leo seemed to feel much the same way. That was one of the things she loved about the chef, you didn’t have to be a mind reader to know how he was feeling. Leo wore his emotions on his face.“What the hell are we doing, Love?” he asked.Amber sighed, “I was wondering the same thing. It’s too early for us to be messing around. Your body needs more time to heal.”His chocolate eyes began to melt. And Amber’s chest tightened. She feared the words about to come from his mouth.“You know that’s not what I’m talking about…. I mean us. Perhaps we both jumped into this relationship too soon,” he uttered, “I had just broken up with Elle when you came into my life. And then things ended badly between you and Grayson and maybe we both just weren’t ready…”Amber said nothing as she slipped out of the bed taking the blanket with her. She couldn’t trust herself to speak at the moment. She

“Let me show you to the master suite,” offered the billionaire, “right this way.”“So, what’s the square footage of this penthouse?” asked the tech.But before Grayson could answer, Jack had made it to the front door after dragging his suitcase across the marble foyer loudly. He turned sharply on the threshold.“Fuck you Grayson!” he spatHe slammed the door behind him. Jack knew it was it, that door, his free ride in this penthouse was closed off forevermore to him. He’d never be back here. And for that Amber was glad. Jackson Van Courtlandt was gone from her life, he’d left her heart years before.A flush crept across the billionaire’s cheeks as he turned to face the tech.“I apologize for that. Creative differences. Why don’t we just skip right to the panic room where all the monitors are set up? I can get the system online so you can see what we’re working with?”“Sure thing Mr. Godwin. I’m anxious to get right down to it from the hub.”Grayson threw a look over his shoulder at Am
Last Updated : 2023-03-04The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 44- Likely Suspects
Coming from a woman who'd made her living by taking her clothes off, when Amberleigh said she felt violated, shit was real. She could see the same thoughts etched on Grayson’s face. It was one thing to make sex tapes and have all your private life recorded with your permission, but another thing entirely to have all your intimate moments recorded without your knowledge or consent. And even worse not knowing who was on the other side of that lens watching.This was fucking bad. Someone out there saw and heard everything in the fucking penthouse. The way she and Leo had pleasured each other in his room, those past sexual romps between Amber and the billionaire, but worst of all about Grayson’s disease. Amber, Leo, and Grayson had talked about it in great detail back in November when Amber demanded answers.“I’m sorry to say Mr. Godwin that the IP address is encrypted so it’s nearly impossible to trace,” explained the tech.Grayson ran a hand through his hair before the stone-cold man re

Amberleigh gave Grayson and the security techs some space over the next several hours after the doc left. Leo was doing as well as could be expected for a man who’d lost most of his blood and his pulse two days before. His blood pressure was a bit on the low side though not dangerously, but other than that, doc Corbin was pleased with his condition. His pain was controlled with the meds when Amber could get his stubborn ass to actually swallow them. Doc reaffirmed the chef needed to be at his clinic in the morning at 7am for the procedure to sew his belly back together.Grayson had stopped in just before the doc left to get a report straight from the horse’s mouth. After that, the billionaire disappeared until late evening. Francois had brought them a late lunch. And friendly Leo struck up a conversation with the man. Medicated Leo was even more chatty and soon he and the French chef had spent over an hour talking about their trade and shared passion for cooking.Conveniently, Doc had

Amberleigh would’ve have thought Grayson would be over the moon to get rid of his murderous cunt wife for a few days, but when he dropped off their provisions later that night, his playful mood had dissipated. His visit was short, and he quickly left the room bitching about the thirty- seven work emails still awaiting his attention. Amber and Leo encouraged the broody billionaire to eat dinner with them, but he wouldn’t be persuaded.Amber and Leo stuffed themselves on ice cream, Pad Thai Noodles, and rice while watching bad reality TV. Amber also spent a good deal of her evening keeping the handsy chef at bay and discouraging his attempts at foreplay. She knew all too well where it led and was starting to doubt her own resolve when it came to allowing Leo to penetrate her with something besides his fingers. She laid down the law with him and shut down his attempts to make her hot and bothered around ten p.m. She shut off the TV, the lights, and ordered him to sleep.The cheeky chef “

The billionaire came through and delivered some extraordinary coffee as promised. He'd mastered the balance between milk and sugar, leaving Amberleigh wondering if there was anything The Godwin couldn’t do well. Well except for opening up about his feelings and emotions without a fight first. But he was a work in progress on that last bit if she had anything to do with it.He handed her the cup with a smile, “Your coffee, my highness.”She returned the smile. “It’s about time you got it right. Thanks.”“Perhaps you should check in on Leo before we begin?”Amber let another sip of goodness percolate through her digestive tract with an appreciative moan.“Do you and that coffee need some alone time?” he said.“Maybe you should stop stalling and sit your ass down so we can get started.”Amber patted the empty couch beside her. He wisely did as he was told without argument, bringing his own steaming mug of coffee with him. Amber noticed his seemed to be bare, which said a lot about him ac

The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 87- Consequences Be Damned
Amberleigh's private chef had indeed made a spread worthy of a queen. Chocolate covered strawberries, a tantalizing fruit and cheese board, cucumber sandwiches, stuffed mushrooms, lamb kabobs, and that was just his starters. Dinner he kept a well guarded secret. Amber just hoped now he would be setting the table for three and Grayson would stay with them. He deserved to spend the holiday with those who loved him. As Amber and Grayson dug in, Leo pulled a box from beneath the counter and handed it to her. He gave her a kiss on the cheek. “Happy Birthday, Love.” “But I thought I already got my present babe,” she smiled. “Open it then. I’m sure you’ll like this one better.” Amber opened the black box to find a golden necklace inside. Dangling upon it was a pendent etched with an engraved image of the baby’s face from the last ultrasound. Well the last one Leo had been present for. Tears clouded her eyes. “Oh Leo, I love it!” Amber wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him clo
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 86- Better Than Fantasy
It was a good thing Leo’s shower was so roomy, it easily fit three. Amberleigh had imagined this moment so many fucking times in her head. And she intended to make this reality so much fucking better than the fantasy which had long lived only in her imagination.She turned on the water, nearly scalding, and watched the steam fog up the glass. She ran a hand across the steamed up mirror. Her loyal servants, waited behind her, already hard, just awaiting their queen’s command.She grabbed two natural sponges from the basket on the counter and turned to them. Leo was on her left and Grayson on her right, close but their naked bodies not touching one another. While it would be hot and check another box of hers off altogether, she would not ask either of them to kiss or touch each other. She loved and respected them both enough to know Grayson wouldn’t like being with Leo in that way. If it happened naturally, then so be it. But there was nothing sexy or romantic about being forced.“Wash
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 85- Not Just A Dream
Amberleigh gave Grayson a moment to think over her proposal. To make his decision. The billionaire loosened his tie like it was choking him. Beside her Leo rolled onto his side and began to run a finger up and down Amber’s bare back. He was clearly ready to go another round. And so was she. But the question remained, would Grayson be joining them?“I don’t like Leo in that way. I’m straight,” he spoke finally.Amber smiled, “It’s not your job to pleasure him or each other. Unless of course you boys want too. But it’s both of your jobs to pleasure me. You don’t have to do anything you’re uncomfortable with.”Leo began to kiss her neck, “I’ll keep my hands to myself G-Man. Except of course when it comes to her.”He ran his tongue up the side of her neck. Amber shivered and awaited the billionaire’s decision. She wasn’t going to pressure him into anything he wasn’t ready for. Grayson took a deep breath.She bit her lip, “Or you can just watch if you would like. Feel free to join in if yo
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 84- An Open Invitation
Amberleigh vowed Grayson to silence over the sex of their child. She wanted to figure out a cute way to reveal to Leo it was a munchkinette she was carrying. But she wasn’t about to go out and have one of those big gender reveal parties. Those things often ended in fails. While entertaining to fucking watch on viral videos, Amber didn’t intend to try some big display to reveal her child didn’t have a penis.Since Amber wasn’t quite ready to reveal it to her father yet either, it gave her and Grayson no real chance to talk about it. Giovanni had appeared in the basement soon after the ultrasound had ended. She would have to catch Grayson in the panic room at some point to discuss his feelings over having a daughter.Amber was still trying to take it in. She wanted baby girl to only get the best parts of herself and Grayson. And she sure as fuck didn’t want her daughter treated like a pretty, dress up doll. Her baby would be afforded all the same opportunities a boy born to Grayson God
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 83- Are You Sure, Doc?
Giovanni opened the rear door instead.“Ladies first,” said Grayson.They loaded into the vehicle and made the trek to the wrong side of the tracks. On the ride, Giovanni and Amber chatted about the baby and her intentions to graduate high school. Her father told her he was proud of her and again suggested Giovanni as a great name for his grandchild. He also got the usually introverted billionaire to join in the conversation and get Amber riled up over suggesting naming their child Adam Milton or Agatha Louise. No fucking way was that going to happen to her baby.Doc personally let them in the backdoor. After pleasant greetings, Amber couldn’t help but tease a bit.“I thought you had people for this doc.”He smiled, “My usual doorman now has a girlfriend. One of which he won’t be seeing outside of school hours for a while if he’s not home in the next twenty minutes.”Donny was a good kid. He would likely be home by curfew. Amber wouldn’t mind getting the chance to say hello to him ton
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 82- Wouldn't You Like To Know?
Giovanni Costa, AKA Amberleigh's father, didn’t let her down. His reply was swift, I’m on my way figila. I can be there in twenty minutes. Now all that was left to do was to try and control the bleeding in Grayson’s arm and wait.Thankfully, his selfish and useless wife had retreated to her room still crying about her bloody clothes. No doubt she’d seek out poor Helga and have the woman try and scrub the stains out. Just when Amber had assumed she couldn’t hate Courtney Van Cunt more, the evil woman had outdone herself. She really was the ice queen with no heart nestled beneath her fake tits.Amber only left Grayson’s side long enough to wash her hands and then collect a few things. While she completed that task, she tried not to dwell on a troubling thought. The bathroom floor had been dry indicating Grayson hadn’t made it into the shower yet. He hadn’t slipped on water on the floor. The rug was an anti-slip rug, so it was possible he had actually displaced it while he was falling an
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 81- Shut The Fuck Up Courtney!
Amberleigh decided to eat her feelings so she dug that half gallon of moose tracks ice cream from the freezer and grabbed a spoon. She planted herself at the island counter and debated checking in with Leo. She hadn’t heard from him in a while but didn’t want to come off as one of those suffocating fiancée. But Leo probably would have communicated by now if blood had been shed or he needed bailed out of jail.Before she knew it, Amber had eaten half the fucking container of ice cream as she thought about the life choices which had brought her here. She also mulled over the future and co-parenting with a man who had a lot of anger and unspoken resentment towards her.She understood where Grayson was coming from. He was hurt and angry over a ton of shit he’d just let bottle up rather than ever deal with. The murder of his brother, which he hadn’t really ever got over Adam’s death to began with. His disease, like staring down the barrel of a gun he couldn’t escape from. And seeing Amber
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 80-Crossroads
Life was good despite all the darkness they were facing. Amberleigh was trying to bask in the good moments, even when they seemed few and far between. She used them to carry her through the dark ones. And there were dark times a plenty as Grayson struggled with his anger and depression. As they were all forced to coexist with a murderous cunt. As Amber’s hormones were fucked and she found herself extra sensitive. Even sappy commercials often made her cry.She had much to be thankful for though. Like her pregnancy progressing well, reaching her fifteenth week with no complications, and finally not having to pee every fucking five minutes! And most of all Leo. That man was a fucking godsend. Leo would kiss her belly every night and sing to the baby. Amber was glad that it was unlikely the baby could hear yet, but she didn’t tell Leo that. She found his new nightly ritual sweet.But Amber shouldn’t have expected anything less from him. Leo put his whole heart into the things he cared abo
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 79- Edge Of Darkness
Amberleigh and Leo came up with a plan to keep Grayson’s ass out of the bars in the bad part of town and home every night by sundown. They simply started showing up at Godwin HQ every work day around five p.m. They’d hang in Grayson’s office until he decided to leave and personally escort him back to the penthouse. Amber usually annoyed the fuck out of the billionaire to the point they were in the car by seven at the latest.Leo often took the opportunity to read a book or look up new recipes to try at home. While Amber napped on the couch in G-Man’s posh office, or watched videos on the net, or raided the employee break room for snacks. It was usually her laughing at funny videos or chewing loudly which got Grayson to throw the towel in for the day and head home. He sure as fuck wasn’t happy about it.He even tried to get the pair of them banned from the building. That laughable attempt got Leo to call up Viola. She came on down to the office and scolded her son in person. She sided
