The Billionaire's Devotion

(Excerpt—) Their faces were still inches apart, breaths entangling. Instead of her lips, he kissed her on the cheek before pulling away to look at her. She wasn't looking at him anymore. She had trained her eyes on the view outside the window. "We could try again," Jacob said. "I don't know what you want from me." Sutton replied in a quiet voice. "I'll keep my word this time around. Six months and I'll set you free, Sutton Price."  Sutton wasn't listening anymore. Something else was on her mind. She brought her eyes to him again, and her next words were not what he expected. "What really happened to Perseus Castle?"  Jacob's hand fell away from Sutton's. His adam apple bobbed as he searched her face.

Chapter 41

                          Jacob Mackay

It's his wedding day. Never in his wildest dreams did he think a day like this would come in his life. He still feared commitment. Jacob Mackay stood at the window of his apartment building and looked down at the busy streets of New York. It was just seven am, but everywhere was already alive with people milling about on the sidewalks. Jacob was supposed to be at the church by nine for his wedding, but here he was still thinking about what the future held for him. He was getting cold feet. He had foreseen a lot of his future for himself, but none of it included getting married, none of it included Sutton Price. 

Jacob hadn't spoken to or seen Sutton since the last time at their home.  He didn't know where he stood with her. Truth is, not hearing from her had affected him more than he realized. His heart was heavy.
