Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chloe nestled her head on Connor's arm, eyes wide open as she studied the man before her. He gave off the vibe of a mischievous playboy when he was up to no good, but when he got serious, he seemed to radiate an air of aloof elegance. Connor's eyes were mesmerizing, deep and mysterious, like the ocean under a night sky. Every time their gazes met, Chloe's heart would race uncontrollably. And then there were his lips: thin and utterly tempting.

Chloe traced the outline of his lips with her fingertip. Connor woke up just in time to catch her in the act. She tried to pull her hand back, but he grabbed it, bringing it to his lips for a soft kiss. "Why are you seducing me so early in the morning?" Chloe rolled her eyes. "I'm not seducing you"

Connor rubbed her hand against his chin. "You were just touching me."

Chloe replied with a hint of sarcasm, "Does touching your lips count?"

"Of course it counts. Touching my lips without a reason means you want a kiss."

Chloe teased him, scratching his chin lightly. "I read somewhere that men with lips like yours are the most heartless."

Connor frowned. "What kind of nonsense are you reading?"

"I don't know, but that's what it said."

Connor, clearly displeased, pulled Chloe into his arms. "Seems like I wasn't convincing enough last night if you still doubt my affection."

"Hey, Connor, knock it off. If you don't, I'll bite you."

"Go ahead, bite here."

"You perv!"

They playfully wrestled on the bed laughing and joking until noon. After showering and changing into fresh clothes, they realized it was already past twelve.

Chloe was a bit annoyed; after all, they were at the Sartori family's ancestral home. She worried the elders might think she was being disrespectful. Connor, buttoning up his shirt, asked Chloe for help, drawing her closer. "Help me with this."

As Chloe buttoned his shirt, she complained, "This is your fault; it's already past noon. They might think we're irresponsible."

Connor chuckled. "Relax, our family doesn't have strict traditions about morning greetings or gatherings. Everyone tends to stay in their own quarters. Besides, Madison and the others went back last night. They rarely stay overnight."

Chloe felt somewhat relieved.

Connor smirked. "Besides, they know we're inseparable and passionate. They wouldn't want to disturb us."

Chloe scoffed. "I'm not inseparable and passionate with you at all."

If they were at Greenpeace Estate, she wouldn't mind as much, but this was the Sartori family estate, and Chloe still felt a bit awkward. Noticing the blush creeping up Chloe's ears, Connor's mood brightened. "Feeling shy?"

Chloe had just finished buttoning his shirt but didn't move away. Instead, she wrapped her arms around Connor's waist, looking up at him with a smile. Her eyes sparkled and her lips were like blooming peach blossoms.

Taking the initiative, she kissed him.

Connor was surprised but delighted. Chloe pushed him onto the couch, straddling him, and kissed him fiercely.
