Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 616

Emmy’s eyebrows drew together as she stared at him. In his dark eyes, there was a fierce possessiveness that felt almost obsessive, and beneath that intensity, she caught a flicker of… hurt? The realization made her heart stumble.

If he was being this open, how could she just ignore it? That would be way too cold.

So she didn’t hesitate. Emmy suddenly launched herself at him, straddling his lap. She tugged down the collar of his t-shirt, exposing smooth skin and the sharp, tempting line of his collarbone.

“You said it,” she reminded him, her voice low. Without a second thought, she pressed her lips to his skin, just below the collarbone where it wouldn’t be too obvious, and left a bold mark. If it showed, well, a turtleneck could hide just about anything.

The effect was instant. His whole body went taut, every muscle pulled tight. He let out a muffled groan from deep in his chest.

Before Emmy could even catch her breath, the world spun. He flipped her over in a heartbeat, hovering above her, his breath hot against her skin. His hand found the small clasp on her back, fingers working with practiced ease.

Right then, her phone started buzzing.

Emmy pushed at his shoulder. “Give me my phone.”

James scowled, clearly annoyed, his chest heaving. After a moment, he reluctantly grabbed her phone from her bag and handed it over, but kept his other hand under her shirt, calloused fingers stroking slow, teasing circles against her skin.

A shiver ran through Emmy’s whole body.

Trying to steady herself, she slid her finger across the screen to answer.

“Hello?” Her voice came out soft, breathy, and more than a little unsteady.

There was a pause on the other end.
