All Chapters of The Billionaire Desires: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

No, I can't let him get to me. The sexual tension between us is palpable, but I'm not ready to give in. He hurt me badly, and now he is sabotaging my chance of getting a job. This can't be happening.I shudder when I feel his face inching closer to mine, but I guard my emotions, not forgetting the reason I came to his office.I gather my strength. With my two hands placed on his chest, I notice he tenses from my touch, his eyes darting between my eyes and mouth. I push him off. "Stay away from me, Josh. This is making me uncomfortable, and don't try to turn it around. What the fuck is wrong with you? Do you think the world revolves around you? How dare you try to stop me from getting a job!”I notice a flash of hurt on his face, but he quickly covers it up. "Harper, can you please sit?" he says, moving away from me and returning to his seat. He looks at me and licks his lips, and I feel a surge of desire that I can't ignore. My clit pulses with excitement, and I feel my panties grow da

JoshI'd be damned if I said I wasn't affected when I saw Nick and Harper together. I admit that I've been keeping tabs on her ever since I told her I didn't want to see her again and relieved her of her job. I couldn't come to terms with why I told her I was firing her. I guess I was in a state of anger when I said those words, and as soon as they came out of my mouth, I regretted them. I couldn't bear the look on her face when I said those words to her, but my pride wouldn't let me go back on my decision and tell her I didn't mean it.I had sabotaged her job prospects, which I know she'll find out soon enough. Harper is a force to be reckoned with, and I know she'll come after me when she discovers I was behind it. I want her back by any means necessary; I can't afford to lose her. But when I think about the kiss she shared with Nolan my heart aches and I feel jealous. I know I have no right to feel this way, especially after the way I treated her. But I can't help the way I feel

HarperI've just managed to get some sleep after tossing and turning in bed last night. Yesterday was eventful for me; seeing Adams again brings back many memories. He was my first-ever boyfriend. The flowers he sent remind me how he spoiled me silly with gifts and love. The sudden ringing of my phone jolts me out of sleep as I stretch on the bed. I groan as I stare at the annoying device, my anger surging at whoever is calling to strip me of my not-so-beautiful sleep."I hesitantly reach for the phone, my mind racing with possibilities. Who could be calling me so early in the morning? My face scrunches in annoyance when I take the phone and realize it's an unknown number. That seems to pique my interest in whoever is calling, so I swipe my phone and place it in my ear, hearing a familiar voice. "Hey, Harper, bad timing," this is Adams, he says, but I notice an edge of uncertainty in his voice. "Adams," I breathe out his name. "I'm sorry, did I wake you?" he asks in an apologetic

As I approach Josh's office, my heart still racing from our earlier encounter, I can't shake off the feeling of unease. I knock on the door, and Josh's deep voice calls out, "Enter." I take a deep breath, square my shoulders, and step inside. Josh looks up from his desk, his eyes locking onto mine with an intensity that makes my pulse quicken. "Sit down," he says, pointing to the seat opposite him. I'm grateful that he's back to being professional again, unlike the stunt he pulled on me just minutes ago. He brings out a folder and spreads it out. "Harper, explain this to me." He taps his pen on the paper.I shift in my seat, my voice hesitant. "Well, there have been... complications."Josh's eyes narrow, his gaze piercing. "Complications?"I clear my throat, trying to elaborate. "The client has been... difficult. We've had to make adjustments."Josh's expression turns skeptical, his voice dripping with disbelief. "Adjustments?"I felt my defenses rise, my words coming out more forc

HarperThe elevator conversation with Josh leaves a sour mood between Adams and me. The ride to the restaurant is suffocating, neither of us attempting to strike up a conversation as we're both lost in thought. I can't believe Josh is so petty; everything he says keeps replaying in my head, making me wish the ground would swallow me up in shame. What was my offense? Nolan kissed me against my wishes, and I slapped him immediately, warning him never to try that again. I had a one-night stand with Nolan before we were an item, but could it be because Nolan is Jane's boyfriend, or the fact that Josh thinks I've moved on with Adams?These thoughts and many more keep driving me wild, it's just so unfair. Despite how he makes me feel, I still find myself attracted to Josh freaking Stevenson. I can't seem to shake off the way he makes me feel whenever he's near me. I wish I could just flush him out of my system, but it's hard for me. My parents aren't aware of the fact that Josh and I hav
