Chapter 21 - Under the influence

Amber was sprawled on the sofa, wearing a simple t-shirt and shorts, watching Pretty Woman. She had a glass of champagne in one hand and a plate of strawberries beside her, a wedding gift from the hotel. She dipped a strawberry into the champagne and took a bite, her expression unreadable as she focused on the film.Ryan walked into the room, still wearing his tuxedo shirt and pants. He stood by the sofa, watching her for a moment before speaking.“You really think this is your story, don’t you?” he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “You want to be the hooker who finds the prince, but I’m not the idiot in that movie. I’m not some dumbass like that guy.”Amber slowly turned her head toward him, her gaze still on the screen. She didn’t seem fazed, taking another bite of her strawberry without a word at first.“You’re talking about me now, Ryan?” she said with a hint of amusement. “I’m not some movie project for you. Don’t bring your fairy tale crap into this.”Ryan clenched his jaw

Chapter 22 - The Silent Agreement

Ryan woke up the next day with a splitting headache. It had been years since he’d had a hangover like this—probably not since his college days. He groaned as memories of the night before came rushing back, particularly how rude he’d been to Amber. After a hot shower and popping an ibuprofen, he made his way to the suite’s living room.Amber was already there, having breakfast and fully dressed. Ryan couldn’t help but notice how beautiful she looked, even in something as simple as a red shirt, jeans, and bare feet. His gaze lingered a second too long on her feet, of all things, and he felt a wave of arousal. What the hell? Since when do feet turn me on? I really need to get laid, he thought, shaking his head.“Good morning, Amber,” Ryan greeted her as he leaned over the table to grab the coffee thermos.“Good morning, Ryan. How are you feeling?” she replied, her tone teasing, a small smirk playing on her lips.Ryan took a long sip of his coffee, letting the warmth settle him. “Starting

The Dance

yan stood rigid near the edge of the grand ballroom, the crystal tumbler in his hand trembling slightly as his grip tightened. The soft strains of a string quartet and the murmur of polite conversation were nothing but background noise to the fury roaring in his ears. His gaze was locked on the dance floor, where Amber moved with effortless grace.She looked breathtaking in her emerald gown, the silk clinging to her curves as though it had been painted on. Her hair fell in loose waves down her back, catching the golden light of the chandeliers. But none of that softened the fire in Ryan’s chest, because she wasn’t alone.Nathaniel’s hand was on her waist, pulling her closer than any dance required. His smile was smug, his every move deliberate as he guided Amber around the floor. She threw her head back, laughing at whatever nonsense Nathaniel was saying, and Ryan felt his blood boil.He clenched his jaw so hard it ached, the veins in his neck taut with the effort to keep himself in c

Chapter 24 - The Fight

For the rest of the evening, Ryan remained distant, his expression a mixture of annoyance and boredom. He kept to himself, standing off to the side with a drink in hand, his eyes occasionally flicking toward Amber.She was seated at a table across the room, engaged in animated conversation with an older woman. Her laughter rang out softly, and she appeared completely at ease, unaware—or perhaps unconcerned—about the brooding presence watching her from afar.Nathaniel approached Ryan with a smug grin, his tone laced with playful mockery. “You’ve got quite the scowl going on for a newlywed,” he remarked, clapping Ryan lightly on the shoulder.Ryan finally turned his attention to Nathaniel, his eyes narrowing. “You don’t know me well enough to assume anything about me,” he said coldly, his voice sharp. “And I don’t appreciate the attention you’ve been giving my wife.”Nathaniel raised an eyebrow, then laughed softly, clearly unfazed by Ryan’s tone. “Calm down, Carter,” he said, taking an

Chapter 25 - The first time

Amber let out a playful giggle as she made her way towards the door, but before she could leave, Ryan's anger boiled over and he grabbed her arm forcefully."Do you think this is a joke?" he growled, his eyes dark with desire.Amber was taken aback by his sudden change in demeanor, but before she could react, Ryan pressed her against the wall and hungrily kissed her.His hands roamed her body, pulling down her dress to expose her bare breasts. "I've been wanting to taste these since the moment I laid eyes on you," he moaned, devouring her nipples with hot kisses and teasing bites. Each flick of his tongue sent shivers of pleasure through Amber's body as Ryan explored every inch of her eagerly.Amber tried to protest, but her words were lost in a moan as Ryan's hands squeezed her bottom, lifting her up and grinding her core against his rock-hard length. His breath tickled her ear as he whispered, "I've been so fucking hard for you... I can't stand it anymore." With that, he roughly unz

Chapter 26 - The After

The next morning, Ryan couldn’t shake the memories of last night. His mind kept circling back to the explosive moment he shared with Amber—the way her body had moved against his, the soft gasps that escaped her lips, and the fire that burned between them. It was maddening. He was furious at himself for letting her get under his skin and even angrier that he couldn’t stop reliving it.He sat at the marble counter in the penthouse’s sleek kitchen, his coffee untouched as he stared blankly at his phone. The buzz of a notification pulled him out of his thoughts.“Where are you?” Tom’s voice came through as Ryan answered the call, casual yet probing.“Home,” Ryan replied curtly. “I’ve still got a few things to handle.”Tom’s chuckle was faint but laced with surprise. “Home? That’s not like you. I’m waiting at the office to go over the new condo project, and you’re still there? Not your style, Carter.”Ryan clenched his jaw, irritation flickering across his features. “I’ll be there soon,” h

Chapter 27 - The Resolution

Amber’s voice was steady, but the sharpness in her tone couldn’t be ignored as she took a step back, creating some space between them. She crossed her arms, a defensive posture, as if she were trying to shield herself from the intensity of the moment. Her gaze never wavered from Ryan’s, her eyes cool but piercing.“You said it was a mistake,” she began, her words measured. “And I agree with you. Believe me, it won’t happen again.” She gestured between the two of them, her hands moving in the air like she was drawing a line in the sand. “This is a business. A contract. I’ll fulfill my role, and that’s it.”The coldness in her voice surprised even her. She hadn’t realized how far she’d pulled away emotionally until she heard herself speak. But this was the only way to protect herself. To make sure she didn’t get too caught up in whatever it was that was still simmering beneath the surface.Ryan’s expression darkened for a moment, his gaze hardening as he processed her words. There was s

Chapter 28 - The Choice

Amber sat in the dimly lit living room of the penthouse, her laptop open in front of her. The soft hum of the city outside blended with the faint click-clack of keys as she scrolled through the online course listings. She had been considering this for a while now—taking the plunge into something new, something different. Early childhood education. She had always been intrigued by it, and for the first time, Amber felt like it was a possibility.She clicked on one of the programs, her eyes scanning the details. The course seemed like the perfect fit: flexible, affordable, and comprehensive. It was a step toward something real, something she could build for herself. A future beyond the present, beyond everything that had led her to this point.Her phone buzzed on the coffee table, interrupting her thoughts. Amber picked it up, a small smile forming as she saw the message from Sophia.Sophia: “Hey, just checking in. I’m really proud of you for even considering this. You’ve got this, what

Chapter 29 - Fading Control

Ryan arrived home earlier than expected, the weight of the day still clinging to him as he stepped into the quiet house. A faint melody drifted from the terrace, pulling him in like a thread he couldn’t resist following.“Amber?” His voice was low, deliberate.As he pushed open the glass door, the sight before him stopped him cold. Amber was on the terrace, mid-pose, her back arched, her legs taut, her body sculpted by the snug shorts and fitted top she wore. The late afternoon sun kissed her skin, making her seem almost otherworldly.She turned her head sharply at the sound of his steps, her chest rising as her eyes widened. “Ryan? What are you—”He didn’t let her finish. His gaze was heavy, his jaw tightening as his eyes swept over her, lingering longer than necessary. His grip on the doorframe tightened, the line between frustration and something far more dangerous blurring in his mind.“We have a garden party,” he said, his voice rough, thick with an edge he couldn’t mask.Amber s

Chapter 30 - The fall

The car ride back from the outdoor party was tense, the kind of silence that crackled with unspoken words. Amber sat in the passenger seat, her legs crossed, her dress—a delicate white with soft yellow flowers—falling just above her knees. She looked effortlessly radiant, her dark hair falling in loose waves over her shoulders.Ryan gripped the steering wheel tightly, his jaw clenched as he focused on the road. He could still hear the laughter from the party, the way everyone had gravitated toward Amber, charmed by her warmth and easy confidence.The kids had adored her. That was what annoyed him the most.He’d watched her crouch down to their level, her wedges digging into the grass as she played some silly clapping game, her laugh ringing out like bells. She had blended in so seamlessly, moving from one conversation to the next with a natural grace that seemed almost unfair. Even the client, a man Ryan had been trying to impress for months, had spent more time talking to her than to
