Croissants and Crying
Stretching in bed in the morning, Magda felt her eyes were blurry and itchy as she rolled onto her belly. Sleep had eluded her late into the night and she had cried like a fool while Jinx the dog had licked her face. The dog had been great comfort in her misery while she’d sulked over what was never going to be.
Why Ares Winter was so heavy on her mind and plaguing her heart was beyond her but she’d had an immediate and visceral reaction to him from day one of meeting him in the boardroom and she couldn’t shake it. Now she’d insulted him by calling him a whore and it was weighing on her. He was right. She had judged him for his past sexual experiences.
If he had been a woman, she would have been going off about a woman’s right to have as many partners as she wanted but because he was a potential sexual partner for her, she was judging him and him calling her out had her feeling appropriately chastised.
She sighed and rolled to her belly and checked her phone.

You searched her purse. How did she look?”“Tired and sweaty. She was leaving the gym. She was surprised but the look she shot me across the parking lot was something else.” He paused and grinned, “she flipped me off.”Ares chuckled, “she has quite a temper.”“Which makes me worried for you. She could snap and stab you.”Ares grimaced at hi

Immediately she bristled with the intrusion of her privacy. How dare they?“What the fuck are you doing at my house?”“Mr. Winter asked me to deliver this,” the woman held out a note, her fingers shaking as she extended it towards Magda as if inherently aware the woman was about to blow.“I don’t give a shit if he asked you to deliver it or not! How the hell did he get my home address and why are you trespassing!” Magda’s emotions were raw and the woman visibly recoiled from Mag’s wrath.“Uh don’t shoot the messenger, Mags,” Dimi called out from behind her
The Billionaire and the Banker Three Or Walk
Standing outside the restaurant Magda took three deep breaths and followed the girls in. When Dimi whispered the woman standing beside Ares was one of Miklos’ ex lovers, she felt a pang of annoyance. She couldn’t help but think perhaps he’d done this to fuck with Dimi. Why flaunt her husband’s mistress in her friend’s face? This was horrible and cruel and now she knew he was fighting dirty. Well, she could fight dirty too.She met his gaze directly and saw the cool response on his face. He was pissed off at her. She knew it instantly and she didn’t know why but as she regarded the woman on his arm, she didn’t care. He was purposefully trying to hurt her friend. He was going to pay.His eyes raked her from head to toe, narrowing when she leaned forward just enough to flash a bit of side boob as she rested her clutch on the table.“Eat your heart out, you snake,” she thought viciously.“Ladie

She didn’t care she had makeup on. She splashed cool water on her face and reached blindly for paper towel. The door to the bathroom opened and a hand put the serviette in hers and she offered a meek thank you to the person who had entered.She looked up and saw Ares leaning against the door and she grimaced. “I’m sure the sign on the door says women.”“It does,” he nodded, his eyes pleading. “Can we talk?”“In a restaurant bathroom?” She sneered at him. “No. In fact, not here. Not anywhere.”“I’m sorry.”“You should be.” She forgot herself for a moment and shoved his chest hard, “what kind of fucking games are you playing?”He grabbed her hands and pulled her close, his blue eyes searching hers. “I’m sorry. I panicked. In panicking, I came to a stupid conclusion.”“What conclusion?”&l

He grabbed his coat off the coatrack at his office door and walked out of the office.“Ares,” Jake was heading in his direction. “Where are we off to?”“My mother’s,” he grunted at him.Thirty minutes later he was walking up his mother’s front steps and briefly closed his eyes as the feeling of home overwhelmed him.

The Billionaire and the Banker Drunk Text

She was shaking like a leaf between her friends while Miklos and Kostas Masalis eyeballed them like they were enemies of the Laskaris family and ready to be punished for their transgressions.First, they’d said they were going to search them as if they were spies for the government and now she’d said too much admitting they were spying to find out if he was fucking a girl in the club and the girls were ready to kill her themselves.

The Billionaire and the Banker Beach Day
The contract was signed. Dimi was gone. Nothing was ever going to be the same again. All their hard work to allow them the freedom to come and go and escape the confines of their families were for naught because Dimi was gone.She and Darya were curled up on Darya’s bed with Jinx between them after crying their hearts out.“I miss her already,” Darya’s bottom lip trembled.“Me too,” Magda whimpered.“She said she wouldn’t be able to call for a long time.”“I know.” She was going to start sobbing again. She rolled to her back. “We need to get out of here.”“We can’t,” Darya moaned. “The press got wind of our address.

She stepped outside, not quite ready to let him into their space.Ares stood there in a pale blue suit which was almost silver in color and a white shirt opened at the color. No necktie was present but he was wearing a pocket square which was a blue which was almost perfectly matching his eyes. She
