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.

A few days ago…

Andrew groaned as his phone rang. He was trying to get some sleep. He didn't know why someone would call him at this ungodly hour. The call came through his private line so it couldn't be work related. His phone rang again for the fourth and he angrily threw off the covers and stood up. He retrieved the phone from its holder.

He was explaining some situation going on in the station, but Drew couldn't make out anything eligible. He walked over to the edge of the bed and sat cradling the phone in his hands.

"Barry?" The man kept going. Drew blew out a breath in exasperation.

"Barry!" 

This time around, Barry took a pause and breathed.
