Your Lips to Mine #2: The Billionaire's Secret Garden My Garden 48
Alexander Kane stood motionless in his office, his towering frame silhouetted against the expansive floor-to-ceiling windows that offered an unobstructed view of the bustling city below. The skyline stretched endlessly, a mosaic of shimmering lights and steel that spoke of power, ambition, and unyielding progress. But Alexander wasn’t admiring the view. His sharp, chiseled features were etched with a cold intensity, his jaw tight as if carved from stone. Unbeknownst to anyone, his mind wasn’t on the business empire he had painstakingly expanded into an unstoppable force. Instead, it was consumed by the audacity of one man: Director Coleman. The man’s name had been ringing in his ears ever since Jill’s call. The memory of her recounting the events at Sophia’s shop made his blood boil. The idea of Coleman, a man he had tolerated far too long, daring to harass Sophia was unacceptable. Alexander sipped the whiskey in his hand, the burn doing little to dull the edge of his anger. The n

I leaned against the counter of my flower shop, letting out a soft sigh as I stared at the empty space that had been bustling with customers earlier in the day. The familiar scent of tulips, lavender, and roses filled the air, usually comforting me after a long day, but tonight, it barely made a dent in the restless ache inside me. I missed Alexander. It was silly, really. We texted throughout the day, and he never failed to call me at night, his deep voice carrying a soothing warmth through the phone. Yet, no matter how much I tried to convince myself that it should be enough, it wasn’t. There was something different about having him here, physically beside me. His presence brought a calm that nothing else could. I sighed again, walking to the door to flip the "Open" sign to "Closed." My fingers paused on the lock as a shadow moved outside the glass. My heart stuttered for a moment, and I leaned closer to get a better look. It couldn’t be. But it was. Alexander stood ther

As Alexander stood up, his tall frame casting a shadow over the room, I felt a pang in my chest. I didn’t want him to leave. Not now, not when the warmth of his presence still lingered so tangibly around me. "Wait," I blurted, my voice coming out sharper than I intended. He froze, his hand resting on the back of the couch, and turned to look at me. "Sophia?" I stood too, my movements quick and unsure, as I stepped closer to him. My heart raced, and my hands fidgeted at my sides. "I don’t want you to go," I said, my voice quieter now but still firm. His expression softened, but I could see the conflict in his eyes. "Sophia, I don’t think—" "Please," I interrupted, taking another step toward him. "Stay. Just for a little while longer." He hesitated, his jaw tightening as he looked at me. I could tell he was trying to convince himself to leave, to walk out the door and keep whatever lines he thought we were about to cross intact. But I didn’t want lines, not with him.

Sophia’s living room was bathed in the soft glow of a single lamp, casting long shadows that danced on the walls like whispers of desire. The air was thick with the scent of lavender from the candles she had lit earlier, a subtle yet intoxicating reminder of the evening’s intentions. Her couch, a plush haven of comfort, was the centerpiece of this intimate setting, and it was here that Alexander found himself, drawn to her like a moth to a flame. He sat beside her, his arm casually draped over the backrest, fingers just grazing the delicate skin of her neck. Sophia’s breath hitched as his touch sent a shiver down her spine, a sensation that both thrilled and terrified her. She turned her head slightly, meeting his gaze with eyes that were deep pools of vulnerability and longing. Alexander’s lips quirked into a smile, a silent promise of what was to come. Without a word, he leaned in, their faces inches apart, the tension between them palpable. Sophia’s heart pounded in her chest, a

Alexander's eyes locked onto Sophia's, a storm of emotions raging within them. He could see the pain etched on her face, but beneath it, there was a flicker of something else—a desire, a need that matched his own. The intensity of their connection was palpable, a force that neither of them could deny. "Are you sure?" Alexander's voice was barely above a whisper, his concern for her overriding his primal urges. Sophia nodded, her grip on his waist tightening. "I'm sure," she murmured, her voice trembling but resolute. "Please, don't stop." With a deep breath, Alexander steeled himself. He began to move again, slowly at first, his thrusts careful and measured. Each stroke was deliberate, aiming to minimize her discomfort while still feeding his own insatiable hunger. He could feel the heat of her body enveloping him, the slick moisture mingling with the blood that marked her maidenhood. Sophia's fingers clawed at his shoulders, her nails leaving faint trails of red against his s

The morning sunlight streamed through the window, bathing the small room in a warm, golden glow. I sat on the edge of the bed, clutching the blanket loosely around my waist as I tried to move my sore body. My shoulders ached, my back felt tight, and as I caught a glimpse of my reflection in the mirror on the opposite wall, my cheeks burned. Marks. Everywhere. My skin was decorated with faint, reddish bruises and imprints from last night—Alexander's handiwork. Each one told a story, a moment of passion, and though the soreness was a stark reminder of our intimacy, it also made me feel a strange sense of pride. A memory of his touch lingered on my skin. I let out a small sigh and reached for the fresh shirt I had pulled from the dresser. Draping it over my lap, I took a moment to catch my breath before attempting to put it on. That’s when I heard the sound of the door opening. Startled, I froze, my heart leaping into my throat. I turned just in time to see Alexander stepping

The morning air felt heavier than usual as I opened the shop doors, the faint chiming of the bell sounding almost hollow. There was no real reason for me to feel uneasy—at least none that I could name—but something was off. I’d noticed it in the way my customers lingered a little too long, their chatter quieter, their laughter almost forced. The usual lively energy of the neighborhood seemed dulled, like a storm cloud hovering just out of sight. I shook off the thought as I began setting up the flower displays, arranging vibrant tulips and roses into neat bouquets. Flowers always had a way of lifting my spirits, their colors and scents a comforting constant in an unpredictable world. But today, even their beauty couldn’t fully chase away the unease settling in my chest. As the day wore on, the feeling only grew stronger. Mrs. Alvarez, one of my regulars, stopped by to pick up her weekly bouquet. Normally, she’d stay for a cup of tea and a chat about her grandchildren, but today sh

The evening air was colder than usual as I locked the shop door behind me, my thoughts scattered. My body ached with fatigue, but my mind was restless. Something had felt wrong all day—a tension in the air that refused to lift no matter how much I tried to brush it off. Even my customers, usually chatty and warm, had seemed unusually reserved. I sighed and leaned against the glass door for a moment, staring out at the quiet street. The unease I felt had no clear source, but it was persistent, a nagging weight on my chest. The familiar scent of the tulips in my shop should have comforted me, but even that felt distant tonight. The buzz of my phone in my bag startled me, pulling me out of my thoughts. I fished it out, the screen lighting up with a text from Alexander: Hotel Royale. 8 PM. I frowned. The message was short, abrupt, and completely out of character for him. Alexander was many things—direct, yes—but he was never vague. My fingers hovered over the keyboard as I debat

Your Lips to Mine #2: The Billionaire's Secret Garden My Garden 98
The moment Sophia and Alexander stepped into the hotel room, their desire for each other ignited. It had been five years since their last encounter, and the distance only fueled their passion. As they closed the door behind them, their lips met in a hungry kiss, eager to taste and touch after too long apart. Clothes became an obstacle, hindering their need to feel skin against skin. Sophia's fingers fumbled with the buttons of Alexander's shirt, while his hands skillfully slid down the zipper of her dress. They undressed each other with urgency, tossing garments aside without care. Soon, they were both naked, their bodies on display, yearning to be explored. Sophia, with her slender frame and delicate features, looked up at Alexander with lust-filled eyes. His tall, muscular build and intense gaze sent shivers down her spine. Without a word, they fell onto the soft bed, their bodies aligning perfectly. Alexander positioned himself between her thighs, his face hovering over her gli

A month had passed since I last heard any news about Alexander. It was a quiet kind of peace that I had grown used to, one that allowed me to immerse myself in my flowers. The shop had become a sanctuary, a place where I could lose myself in the fragrance of petals and the quiet rustle of leaves, a place far away from the chaos of the past. The rare midnight flame tulips were doing well this season, their dark petals glowing faintly in the dim light of the shop. I was bent over, carefully trimming the stems of a particularly stubborn tulip, my hands steady and practiced. The rhythmic snip of the scissors filled the room, creating a soothing lull, and I was so focused on the task at hand that I didn’t hear the bell jingle above the door. The faint chime of it only reached my ears when the sound was followed by footsteps, slow and deliberate. I didn’t lift my head. Maybe it was a customer, or maybe it was just the wind. The bell jingled again, and then came a voice—low, teasing, fam

The decision had been made. Alexander, after months of contemplation, finally stepped down as CEO of Kane Corporation. The weight of the position had been pulling him in directions he no longer wished to go. It was time to let go, to stop clinging to something that no longer felt like his true purpose. Sophia had been waiting for him for five long years. It was time he made his move, time to step away from the legacy he had spent so much of his life building. Jill had been by his side throughout everything—through the ups and the downs, through the struggles and the victories. She had been a steadfast ally, a loyal friend who never asked for anything in return. Now, she was here, standing across from him as he prepared to make the biggest decision of his life. “Are you sure about this, Alexander?” Jill asked, her voice steady but soft, as if sensing the gravity of the moment. Alexander exhaled slowly, his gaze fixed on the papers in front of him, the ones that would officially m

The next day, the world seemed to shift in a way I hadn't expected. The relief I had felt the day before, the moment I learned that Alexander had been found not guilty, was suddenly overshadowed by a new wave of news, news that made me feel like I was caught in an emotional storm. It started with a headline that made my stomach twist. *Viktor Robert Found Guilty of Embezzlement, Sentenced to Life in Prison.* The words hit me harder than I had anticipated. I had known Viktor’s capacity for cruelty, but seeing his fate sealed, seeing him condemned to a life in prison, felt like a punch to my gut. I couldn’t bring myself to feel anything but a dull ache at the thought of his downfall. I had never been a fan of Viktor, never admired his ruthless, manipulative ways. But seeing him face the consequences of his actions, knowing that Alexander had been framed by the very man who was now behind bars—it felt like too much. It was a strange sense of justice, but it was also tainted by the bi

The past five years had passed in what felt like a blur. My flower shop, nestled in the quieter part of Europe, had become my haven. It wasn’t as glamorous or renowned as I had once dreamed it would be, but it was mine. The rare midnight flame tulips I had worked so hard to cultivate brought me a certain kind of recognition, though not the kind I had hoped for in the beginning. It wasn’t the fame or grandeur I had imagined, but it was enough to keep me going. It was enough to heal me in ways I didn’t even realize I needed. My grandparents, who had always been my unwavering support, had left Country Z after I did. They had chosen to stay here in Europe, away from the turmoil, away from the pain. Their house, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, was where I sought comfort. I found peace there, with them, as I slowly learned how to live without him. But the news—the news that always seemed to find its way to me, no matter how much I tried to avoid it—had not stopped. It had bee

I sat by the window of my grandparents' house, watching the sun slowly dip beneath the horizon, casting a warm glow over the fields that stretched out in front of us. This place had always been a sanctuary for me, a peaceful haven far away from the noise and chaos of the city. It wasn’t the kind of place where you’d find the hustle and bustle of city life—no towering skyscrapers or crowded streets. Instead, it was quiet, with only the sound of the wind rustling through the trees and the occasional chirp of birds to break the stillness. I had my own apartment now, a place in the heart of the city where I could keep my life private, away from the prying eyes of the people who would have questions about my past. But despite having my own space, I found myself drawn to my grandparents' house, to the peace it provided, to the comfort of their presence. It was a place where I could still feel safe, where I could escape from the weight of the world and the constant ache in my chest. They

It’s been three years now. Three long, agonizing years since I left my home, my family, and most painfully, Alexander. Time has done little to dull the ache in my heart, but it has made it easier to pretend. To push aside the memories of the life I had with him and keep moving forward. But there are days—too many days—when I can’t help but feel like I’m still tethered to my past. I still watch the news, still read articles about the Kane family, even though I know it only causes me more pain. It’s a way of keeping a small piece of my old life alive, even if it’s just in a fleeting moment. Most of the time, it’s nothing more than rumors or meaningless gossip—people speculating about the family, making assumptions about their business dealings. It’s easy to ignore. But then, sometimes, there are pieces of news that rip the veil off and remind me of the things I’ve tried so hard to forget. The first year after I left, I didn’t hear anything. Nothing significant, at least. The Kane fam

Alexander stood on the edge of the tarmac, his breath coming in ragged gasps as he watched the plane ascend into the sky, its blinking lights disappearing into the horizon. His fists clenched at his sides, nails digging into his palms as he tried to keep the overwhelming wave of emotions from consuming him. He was too late. His heart felt like it had been ripped from his chest and thrown onto the cold concrete. Sophia was gone. The realization hit him like a freight train. No matter how many times he told himself there was still time, no matter how fast he drove through the city, weaving through traffic like a madman, he had still failed to reach her. She was gone. Alexander cursed under his breath, his voice hoarse with anger and despair. His mind replayed every conversation, every look, every fleeting moment over the past few days. There were signs—there had to be. He had seen the distance in her eyes, the hesitations in her voice, the way her smile faltered when she thoug

When I got home that night, the stillness of my small house wrapped around me like a heavy blanket. The beach, the stars, and Alexander’s heartfelt words should have brought me comfort, but instead, they left me feeling more conflicted than ever. The lingering scent of the ocean in my hair and the cool sand that had clung to my shoes served as painful reminders of the perfect night I had shared with him. I dropped my bag by the door and leaned against the wall, staring blankly into the dimly lit living room. My mind was racing, replaying every word Alexander had said, every look he had given me, every moment we had spent together. His sincerity, his warmth, and the way he looked at me as if I were the only person who mattered in the world—it all felt like a cruel twist of fate. I wanted to hold on to that night forever, to freeze time and stay in that bubble of happiness where it was just the two of us, far away from the threats and expectations of the Kane family. But reality h
