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.

Chapter 24

                      Sutton Price

It was Friday evening. Sutton was at her parents' house. Her parents had gone out for a fundraising dinner. Despite having an apartment of her own, she enjoyed staying with them most of the time. Jacob Mackay was her date and she dreaded it all week. Since the last time at dinner, she had not heard from him. Sutton couldn't have been happier when he called her father to cancel the night's plans due to whatever emergency that had come up on his part.

She wandered around the home she had grown up in. Nothing had changed except herself. When she was younger, it always seemed too big in her little eyes, but she had grown into it just fine. She loved her home, always and forever, while growing up. That it was the only country styled house around the boulevard fascinated her. The interior was vast, and with lots of rooms.
