After the way he’d treated her, Paxton knew he deserved that answer or worse.“Which was it going to be?”“I don’t know, Paxton. After the way you dismissed me, after all the awful things you said to me... I had to gather a lot of strength to even take into consideration the idea of looking for you, of getting in contact with you…” Paxton raked a hand through his hair. His heart was hammering violently. God, what had he done? Had he thrown away the best thing that had ever happened to him?“Rhiannon, I…”“On that night, you made your feelings for me very clear, Paxton. You made it clear every single time since.” His gut twisted. That first night, he’d sweet-talked her and made love to her until she’d become radiant every single time he looked at her. He’d caressed her so seductively. She’d trembled when he barely touched her. Her every nerve had leaped in response to him, but he’d thought she’d been faking. But she hadn’t been.

“Okay, Rob. We’ve covered every single point on our agenda, so we can stop here.” With a quick gesture, Paxton closed his notebook and rubbed his temples. His head was aching. A consequence of his lack of sleep and too much work.“Can I get you something, Paxton?” his collaborator asked. “Would you like me to call the butler?”“No, don’t worry. I’m fine,” Paxton replied. “Listen, I know how crazy your schedule is, so thanks again for coming here.”“Don’t mention it. I was passing through Abu Dhabi on my way to Bangkok anyway, so stopping here is no big deal. Besides, you know how much I love my job. And Ridgway is like a playground for me.”“Yeah… Working for the craziest Ridgway of them all…” he said, and a bitter laugh escaped his throat.“You gave me an opportunity when I was just a youngblood. I like your business vision. I envy your sixth sense when it comes to new projects. This is why I’ll always play on your team.” Robert Midland was his right hand in the M

          Rhiannon raced ahead of Sandra. She was determined to get as far away as possible from Sandra since her friend wouldn’t stop nagging Rhiannon about Paxton… Again.“I really think you should reconsider giving Paxton a chance, Rina,” Sandra was saying as she caught up to Rhiannon after stooping to tie her tennis shoe.          Rhiannon, who had finally had enough, stopped abruptly and gave Sandra a harsh look.“I mean... If someone like Paxton was interested in me and wanted to ‘buy me’ as you put it,” Sandra continued, undeterred, “I’d let him.”“Listen, Sandy. I came here to exercise and relax and get away from my problems for a change. But I can’t since you’re mentioning the biggest of them all. So, please stop talking about Paxton or go home right now.”

This time, Rhiannon participated fully in the kiss, opening her mouth under his, raising her hands to rest them on the iron slabs of muscle on his shoulders. When his tongue met hers again, she dug her nails into his shoulders, making him groan with satisfaction. Paxton pulled her closer and she abandoned completely to that embrace. Sheer pleasure rose and surged through her body, blood rushing through her veins, her flesh sensitized and tingling with exquisite sensation at each brush of his body against hers. His lips moved over hers possessively, his tongue pushing past, taking languid tastes of hers as heat built and surged through her senses. Rhiannon was lost in the pleasure, lost in each taste of the wild passion she was given. Paxton’s mouth moved down the column of her neck, his tongue taking flicking tastes of her skin. He opened the bathrobe, revealing her breasts. A moan escaped her lips, an electric sensation racing through her at

Hey, Y'all!!!!This romantic adventure is slowly coming to an end. There are 4 chapters left. Currently, I'm working on the last 2 chapters. So, since I would like to publish all 4 chapters on the same day (May 26th or May 27th), there isn’t going to be an update on May 25th (Sorry about this, Dyvia Gupta. I hope you’ll understand). I know it's an ambitious project, but I've done it several times, so I'm absolutely sure I can pull this off.I would like to tag this book ‘completed’ on Monday, but I’m gonna need your help in doing so… To be more precise, I’m going to need your opinion on the book: if the story is really finished, if I need to add something else… etc., etc. So, leave a comment or a review with your feedback on the story. Because once I will write ‘The End’, I won’t get back on this story (editing an entire book months after is pure torture!) And last but not least, my gratitude to you all, for the funny comments, for your time and money, and your gems. Every single one
