Chapter 270: Goodnight, Princess
Selina gently brushed a few loose strands of hair from Lily's face. The little girl's lips were slightly parted, one small hand resting against Selina's arm.She was completely out.Gray watched quietly, the corners of his mouth softening."Guess that's our signal," he murmured.Selina smiled and nodded. "She looks so peaceful." Her voice was barely above a whisper.Gray stood and moved closer. He slipped one arm beneath Lily's shoulders and another beneath her knees. She stirred just slightly, mumbling something in her sleep, then settled her head against his chest."She's heavier than she looks," he said softly.Selina chuckled under her breath. "You're just getting old.""Hey. That's mean."She covered her mouth, trying not to laugh too loudly as they made their way down the dim hallway. The condo had quieted around them, the only light coming from the lamps.Selina pushed open Lily's bedroom door and held it for him. The room smelled faintly of lavender, soft pink accents everywhe
Chapter 271: Do That Again
Selina's breath caught when she felt the warmth of his mouth against her skin. Gray's focus had narrowed completely. Nothing existed for him right now except her. A soft sound escaped her lips.His tongue moved slowly across her nipple, already stiff at his touch. Her back lifted off the bed and her breath left her in a rush. Shivers ran all the way down her spine. Gray's mouth was warm and completely unhurried, drawing a quiet sound from her with each pass of his tongue, each soft pull. He was patient with her, working thoroughly in a way that made thinking difficult.His hands held her steady as he moved to the other side, tracing a slow path across her chest without ever fully leaving her skin. She felt his tongue circle her other nipple, teasing rather than giving her what she wanted, and instinctively she shifted toward him. Gray lifted his head. "Do that again," he said quietly, "and I stop." Selina went still immediately. She gave a small nod, her expression stripped of eve
Chapter 272: On Top
Their clothes were already on the floor.Gray sat at the edge of the bed with Selina beside him, her back against his chest, her legs parted. His fingers moved between her thighs and she bit down on her lower lip to keep the sound in.She was already warm and slick against his hand. When he felt how ready she was, something in his expression shifted. His movements grew more deliberate — slow, circular, a steady press that drew the breath right out of her."Gray..." she whispered.He could feel the heat of her, the wetness gathering on his fingers as he worked deeper. He slid one finger inside her slowly, thrusting in a steady rhythm, and with his free hand he reached up and cupped her breast, his thumb brushing across her nipple. The touch made her flinch — a sharp edge of sensation that softened quickly into something that made her hips press down against his hand.Selina leaned her full weight back into him. She spread her legs wider, giving him everything he asked for without being
Chapter 273: You Two Look Suspicious
It was the best night Gray had had in a long time.He blinked awake early, the soft morning light pressing through the gap in the curtains. For a moment he didn't move. He lay there on his back, staring at the ceiling, feeling strangely light. His body should have been tired after everything — and it was, a little — but underneath that was something that felt close to rest.Beside him, Selina was still asleep. Her breathing was slow and even, her hair loose and slightly tangled from sleep. One hand rested on his stomach. She looked completely at ease. Gray turned his head and looked at her. A small smile came without him deciding to."Last night was something else," he thought. Before the thought could go anywhere, the door erupted. BANG. BANG. BANG. "Brother! Sister Selina! Are you awake?! Hello?!" Gray nearly came out of his skin. Beside him, Selina's eyes snapped open and she let out a short gasp, sitting up fast. "What's happening?" she mumbled, still half asleep. "Lily," G
Chapter 274: Finally Getting There
Weeks passed quickly after the sleepover.They were already halfway through the second month of construction.What had once been nothing but a skeleton of concrete and steel beams now looked like an actual building. The exterior was nearly complete — windows fitted, glass walls in place, the entrance doors already installed. The signboard they had commissioned was finished and sitting in storage, waiting to be mounted.Inside, the electrical and plumbing work was close to done. The walls had been painted and the floor tiles were laid. All that remained were minor installations before the interior could be furnished.Stoneworks had kept their word. In the first month, the crew had worked sixteen-hour days. In the second month, they had shifted to rotating shifts that kept the site running around the clock. The pace showed.Gray stood near the entrance, hands in his pockets, taking it in. Ben was beside him, clipboard in hand as always, watching a team of workers fit light fixtures alo
Chapter 275: It's Been a While
Gray arrived at the Davenport Building just past eleven in the morning.He stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for one of the upper corporate floors — the one that led to Chloe's office. As the elevator climbed, he leaned back against the mirrored wall and let the quiet of it settle around him.It had been a while. Weeks, maybe closer to a month, since he had last seen her. Their most recent meeting had been a dinner at a restaurant, and after that, nothing — no calls, no messages, just the occasional piece of news that reached him secondhand through other people.From what he had heard, Chloe had taken on a more significant role in the company while continuing her studies on the side. That didn't surprise him. What surprised him — in the best way — was that she was managing both without losing her footing. He thought back to their tutoring sessions, to the version of her that had sat across a desk from him struggling to make sense of the material. She had come a long way
Chapter 276: Numbers Have No Loyalty
After they had caught up for a while, the store, her studies, the weeks that had quietly slipped past both of them — Chloe's tone shifted."Actually..." She sighed and set her cup down. "I called you here because I genuinely need your help."Gray had already suspected as much. Chloe didn't reach out on a whim, and her message the day before had carried a particular weight to it. He had been waiting for her to open up in her own time."What kind of help?" he said.She pressed her lips together, choosing her words carefully."My father and uncle thought it would be good training to give me partial oversight of a few of the company's smaller accounts. Marketing and development budgets, mainly. I've been managing them for a few months now.""Alright," Gray said, his attention sharpening."A few days ago, I noticed something off. One of the budget reports didn't line up with the actual spending records. I thought maybe it was an entry error, so I cross-referenced it against two separate r
Chapter 277: Right...
Gray sat alone in his office that afternoon.Sunlight pressed through the window and spilled across his desk, landing squarely on the folder Chloe had handed him. He hadn't opened it again yet. His gaze just rested on it while his mind stayed elsewhere."Mr. Davenport wants to talk to me," he murmured.He leaned back in his chair. The thought had been circling since he left the building. Not with any particular anxiety, more like a quiet curiosity with a thin edge of caution underneath it.The last time he had met Chloe's father was the day Jonathan Davenport had introduced him to the company's board members. That felt like a long time ago now. They hadn't spoken since. From what Gray had gathered through the usual channels, Jonathan was still busy, still running things well."I wonder why now," he thought.His fingers tapped lightly on the armrest. The store was the most likely answer. The expansion had been getting attention lately, and Jonathan Davenport was not the kind of man who
Chapter 278: Are We Even Together?
They had agreed to meet at a restaurant on the upper floor of a hotel with high ceilings and a view of the city below. Exclusive enough that the other tables were well-spaced, the lighting warm and low.Gray arrived a few minutes before their reservation. He was still in his office suit, his tie loosened but not removed. He had considered changing, but Selina had texted that she was already on her way, so he had come straight from the Davenport Building.He took his seat by the window and looked out.The city spread below him in the early evening light. The view swarmed with buildings, traffic, the slow softening of the sky at the edges. After an afternoon of financial records and mismatched ledger entries, it was a good thing to rest his eyes on.He heard her before he saw her. Quiet footsteps, then her voice."Sorry, did you wait long?"Gray turned. Selina had arrived in a deep blue dress, the fabric moving softly as she walked. Her hair was up in a ponytail, with a few loose strand
Chapter 279: Be With Me
"Gray, do I even have the right to be jealous when we're not... even together?"The words had slipped out before she could stop them. Selina felt it the instant they left her mouth. The shift in the air, the sudden weight of something she hadn't intended to say out loud.She looked away immediately, her hand moving to her glass as if the question had belonged to someone else.Gray didn't speak right away. He just looked at her. The teasing had gone out of his expression, replaced by something quieter. He let the silence sit for a moment, searching his mind for an adequate response.Then, from nearby, came the soft notes of a piano drifting in from somewhere deeper in the restaurant."Good evening, sir, ma'am. Are you ready to order?"Both of them turned. The waiter stood beside the table, notepad in hand, professional smile in place.Selina straightened immediately, smoothing her hair back. "Ah, yes," she said quickly. "I think we are."Gray cleared his throat and looked down at the
