Semua Bab The Billionaire's Secret: Bab 1 - Bab 10

So this was how it was going to go, Blake Shite slammed her laptop closed and sat back in her very comfy office chair. She'd been locked up in her home for a week, trying to put words to her new book. But nothing. Not a single word made it onto the screen, her fingers hovered, typed, deleted. Over and over. She rubbed a hand over her tired eyes and stood, stretching her back. She would go down to the kitchen, make herself a cup of coffee, toast and try again. Her phone rang on her desk and she glared down at it. Her agent, Donna, again. She growled at the phone, ignored it, and went down to her kitchen. Blake didn't have time to deal with Donna now, as her friend, Donna understood that she was stuck, but as her agent, Donna was pushing her to write, anything, just write. Blake rolled her eyes, because it was that easy, right? She had to admit that in the beginning, her first five books, top sellers, had been sort of easy, sure she'd had moments of panic when she'd gotten stuck on a

Addie sat watching Blake, Kodi on the couch next to her. Last night, their first night spent together, they'd decided to share a bed. She'd laughed at Blake who'd placed pillows down the middle of the bed. It was the line, she's said, all serious. Blake had glared at her when Addie told her that it must be because she had no self-control because there was no way Addie would need the pillow line to stay on her side. Blake had mumbled something and turned on her side, seemingly falling asleep straight away. Kodi was the only one that seemed to think the pillow line was not for her, since she hopped on the bed, climbed on the pillows, turned in circles, and settled, her butt on Addie's side her head resting on Blake's shoulder. Now she sat watching Blake struggle to write, she'd been trying for two hours. Addie knew she was only trying because the screen was still blank."Come on." Addie stood, startling Blake. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. It's a gorgeous day, let's go fo

The next morning, Addie sat on the steps of their cabin, a cup of coffee in hand, with Kodi sniffing around their expanse of beach. She was deep in thought and never heard Blake approach. "Donna called, they're going snorkeling." "Those two are going to do all the activities in one day." Addie laughed. "Uh, have you seen my blue slop? I can only seem to find one." "Oh no, Kodi," Addie said and stood. "I'll go try and find it, she takes shoes, buries them." "Are you saying she stole my shoe?" "It means she likes you, that's something, right?" "Sure, something." She turned back inside and came out a few moments later, her cup of coffee in hand too. "Let's go, show us where you buried it, smart dog." "She's not going to show you, it's a game to her, she hides we seek." Addie grinned. "Well, those are my only pair and I sort of need them. Since this place doesn't have a s

The next morning, Blake and Addie, with Kodi in Addie's arms, ran up the stairs to the breakfast nook. A storm was pelting down on the island and they were wet by the time they made it to their table. Donna and Lex, also wet, sat with steaming cups of coffee in front of them. Addie gestured to the waiter to bring two more and then shook herself as she set Kodi down. "You two look like you went swimming with your clothes on." Donna joked. "Oh, you don't look any better." Blake retorted. "That came out of nowhere didn't it?" "We get storms a few times a week, usually on the same day, so this one should clear around ten, then start up around five or so again. Tomorrow will be clear skies again." The waiter set down their coffee's then a bowl for Kodi. Addie thanked her and she walked off. "So what do we do between ten and five?" Blake asked. "Well, we sort of have plans, we're doing the abseiling thing and then a picnic,"

Blake watched Addie in fascination as she prepared the fish they'd brought home to be grilled. They were standing in the kitchen, Blake a glass of wine in her hand, every now and again she would hold Addie's glass up to her mouth so she could take a sip of her own wine. They'd invited Donna and Lex to join them. And for once Donna had agreed to spend the evening with them. Blake was still suspicious of her, knowing she wanted to push Addie and Blake together. Addie grinned up at her, as she closed the fish in tin foil and washed her hands. "So do we make a salad, or rice and veggies?""How about we do salad, it's a nice warm night.""Okay, then I'll leave that to you." They looked up when they heard voices outside and Addie grinned. "Want to play a trick on Donna?" She asked, stepping closer to Blake. "Uh, depends, what do you have in mind?""Kiss?""Kiss? You?"Addie looked around the room. "Yes, me." Addie took another s
