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.

Now he had to make the readjustments again. He felt the purring and humming of the car beneath his fingers and the vibrations made him to smile. Nothing beats the feeling of having a sweet ride. 

Yesterday, Jacob had Sutton to deal with. Today, Jacob's agenda was to visit his PI personnel. Fox had told him he had more news concerning what they had discussed the last time. Hope kept bubbling in Jacob's heart. He had asked Fox and Nina to look for his mother.
