 Amanda kissing him was the last thing Lucas expected. But he didn’t waste a lot of time being surprised. His lips moved against hers, his hands going around her waist. She wrapped hers around his neck and pressed her body into his, closing every little distance between them. The kiss was short but intense. She pulled back first, keeping her hands around his neck. Her brown eyes sought his. “This is not a good idea for me, Lucas. Right now, I really want you. But I don’t know what I’ll think about it tomorrow.” He more than understood. She wanted him in the same way he wanted her. It just wasn’t as easy for her. And he wasn’t going to make things harder. “That’s fine. You’ll know when tomorrow comes. I’ll respect whatever you decide.” He sure as hell hoped she wouldn’t push him away. But since this was just s

 “I have to leave soon, you know.” “I know.” Amanda’s lips spread into a smile when despite agreeing with her, Lucas made no move to let her go. They’d spent the entire evening in each others’ arms. Save for the short while it took Lucas to change the boat's course so they ended back at the marina. She had just woken up from a nap to find him still holding her, eyes on her face. It was past nine o’clock, time for her to retrieve her car from the parking lot and head back to her apartment. His fingers pushed back strands of her curly hair. “I wish you’d spend the night.” “Me too,” she whispered. She never wanted to leave, but she had to. The next day was Monday, and they both had work. Together. She still wasn’t sure how she was going to deal with that. Would thi

 The video clip Cara sent Amanda had footage of Samuel and Nancy together, a day before Amanda cancelled their engagement. It was late at night and they were in the break room at work. The video was a mix of them making out and talking about how the wedding day was getting close and they would finally have their hands on the Lemaiyans' wealth. Cara had stayed late that night too and came across them. They never found out that she took a video. All they knew was that she saw them and ratted them out to Amanda. A few minutes after Amanda posted the clip online in reply to Nancy's tweet, her office phone rang. Her father was on the other side. “See me now, Amanda! Right now!” His voice was stern, and it was obvious he was pissed off. She could deal with an angry father. As long as she had finally put those two in their proper place, she could deal with any

 Amanda downed her fourth shot and beckoned for the bartender to fill her fifth. “Girl, I think you should call it a night,” Tyra urged from beside her. Amanda shook her head, the heel of her palm resting on her temple. “Make me understand, Tyra. Dad’s making no sense.” Her listless gaze shifted to her friend. “What have I done wrong? Can you tell me what I’ve done wrong? Maybe if I fix it, he’ll not give Rebecca my company.” Tyra sighed and rubbed her friend’s shoulder. “Amanda, I’ve told you… Maybe that’s just his way of looking out for you. And he’s not giving Rebecca your company. I’m sure it’s temporary.” She shrugged. “I mean, at least he didn’t transfer the shares to her.” That didn’t make Amanda feel any good. Yes, the shares were still under her

When Lucas got to his boat, Amanda was sitting outside the door, leaning against it. To his relief, her driver was with her.  “I’m sorry sir, I couldn’t get her to leave,” he apologised as Lucas came forward and unlocked his door. “It’s okay,” he assured him, bending to scoop the half-asleep woman in his arms. “Thanks for watching over her. You can leave now.” With Tom gone, he went into the boat and headed straight for the main cabin. He placed Amanda on the bed, then moved to remove her shoes. “Why are you so drunk?” he asked, casting a glance at her flushed face. She moaned and turned to her side, her eyes opening to gaze at him. Having removed her shoes, he sat down on the bed beside her. He peered down at her. “What happened?” The last time he saw her, she had successfully

“Want to talk about what happened with your father yesterday?” Lucas asked two hours later as he set a plate of breakfast in front of Amanda. They had already taken a shower and he insisted on making her breakfast before he drove her to her place.  “What did I say last night?” “Something about him thinking you’re not good enough for the company.” “Oh.” “It must have been serious if you went drinking like that, right?” Amanda lifted the mug of coffee he had made her and blew across the surface. “He’s putting Rebecca in charge at the company.” “What?” She shrugged. “It’s what it is.” “He’s not giving her his shares, is he?” She shook her head. “Fortunately, n

 Amanda remained at the front of the elevator for a few seconds, taking in the scene in front of her.  Samuel was what you’d call tall, dark, and handsome. He sure had an appeal to him, and that’s one reason Amanda had fallen for his charms in the first place. But now, looking at him, none of the warmth that filled her chest whenever she saw him when they were dating showed up. Instead, everything inside froze up, and she wanted him gone in an instant.  “How did you get up here?” she demanded, resuming her walk.  “You didn’t change the code.”  Damn, right. She had never thought of that because she had never expected him to show up at her place.

 “I’ve barely seen you these last three weeks,” Lucas noted, running the tips of his fingers along Amanda’s shoulder. They were in his boat, lying together in his bedroom. It was the first time they’d gotten together since the night Amanda showed up there after her father gave Rebecca control of the company. “We’ve both been busy,” she replied. “I suppose we have. I guess I never expected it would be so hard to get you alone.” “Yeah,” she mumbled. She sounded distracted, as if there was something else in her mind. He also wasn’t entirely buying the being busy excuse. At some point, he could have sworn she was actively avoiding him. After what happened with her father and Rebecca, she had occupied herself with the ongoing project. He totally understood that. But, he was also afraid that sh

Five Months Later   “Damn, Amanda. Are you trying to kill me?” “I’m standing here, enjoying my glass of wine in peace. Don’t you dare accuse me of attempted murder, Mr. Erikson.” Lucas groaned and stepped closer, bringing up his hand to rest on the small of her back. They were standing at the bar, which was mostly deserted as most of the wedding guests joined the dance floor. The occasion was his elder sister’s wedding. “Do you know how many times I’ve had to mentally fight down an erection because I couldn’t stop imagining tearing this dress off you and fúcking you on the nearest surface?” She pressed her wine glass to her bottom lip and gazed up at him. “Now, that’s just naughty, Mr. Erikson.” “Naughtier than you letting me know you ha

 Lucas scrambled to his feet, shielding Amanda with his body. “Mum!” Behind him, Amanda patted her hair, which was thankfully still secured on top of her head, and stood up. “Hello, Mrs. Erikson.” Her face was burning up, but there was nowhere to hide. Susanne closed the door and walked forward, her eyes moving from one to the other. “It really is Amanda.” “Mum,” Lucas called in a warning tone, still trying to hide Amanda from his mother. “Are you two together?” Susanne asked. “That’s none of your business,” Lucas grumbled. Susanne shook her head. “No, but it is. How long has this been going on?” “A while,” Lucas confessed. “A while? Looks like I didn’t have to work so hard trying to match you
