Tempting the Billionaire and His Heir

73



As Alexa lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling, she couldn’t shake the memory of what had happened earlier that night. She had gone to the gym basement with Anthony, and they had ended up having sex. The passion between them had been intense, and she could still feel his hands on her body, his lips on hers.

But now, as she lay alone in her room, she couldn’t focus on sleeping. Her mind kept wandering back to Anthony and the way he had made her feel. She had never been with a man who had such a high sex drive, and it had left her feeling both exhilarated and exhausted.

As the night wore on, Alexa couldn’t help but think about the possibility of a relationship with Anthony. She knew it was probably just the post-sex hormones talking, but she couldn’t help feeling drawn to him. Maybe they could have something more than just physical attraction.

The next day, when she saw Anthony at the gym, she found it difficult to focus on her workout. Her mind kept wandering back to their night in the basement. Finally, unable to resist any longer, she approached him.

“Hey,” she said, trying to keep her tone casual. “Can we talk for a minute?”

“Sure,” Anthony said, looking up from his workout. “What’s up?”

“I know we said it was just a one-time thing, but I can’t help feeling like there might be something more between us,” Alexa said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Anthony looked at her for a long moment, and she could see the desire in his eyes. “I feel it too,” he said finally. “I didn’t want to say anything in case you weren’t interested.”

“I am,” Alexa said, feeling a smile spread across her face. “I’m definitely interested.”

And with that, they both knew that their night in the basement had been just the beginning of something much more exciting. As they walked out of the gym together, hand in hand, Alexa felt a sense of happiness she had never experienced before.

Anthony and Alexa sat next to each other by the poolside. The clear, starry skies sparkled above them, illuminating their surroundings with their beauty. The light breeze blew through the trees, creating a calming atmosphere that seemed to engulf everything around them.

Suddenly, Anthony turned to Alexa and asked, “Why don’t you find it weird that you choose to stay with someone like me?”

Alexa looked up at the night sky for a moment, then turned to face Anthony. “What do you mean someone like you? You’re kind, compassionate, and intelligent. You have qualities that women would kill for. What makes you think that I wouldn’t want to be with someone like you?”

Anthony shrugged his shoulders and looked down, “I don’t know, maybe because I’m not as successful or as good-looking as some of the men you’ve dated before. I always feel like I’m not enough for you, and that someday you’ll realize that you could do so much better.”

Alexa put her hand on Anthony’s shoulder and said, “Anthony, you have to stop comparing yourself to others. You’re an amazing person with so much to offer. I love you for who you are, not because you fit into some mold of perfection that society has created. You make me happy, and that’s all that matters to me.”

Anthony took a deep breath and looked back up at the night sky. He realized that Alexa was right. He had been too caught up in his own insecurities to see the love and support that she had been giving him all along.

They sat there in silence for a few minutes, enjoying the peaceful environment around them. The stars twinkled, and the moon was full, casting a soft light over the water in the pool.

Finally, Anthony turned to Alexa and took her hand. “Thank you for being here with me,” he said. “I’m grateful to have you in my life.”

Alexa smiled and squeezed his hand. “Me too, Anthony. Me too.”

They had been casually seeing each other for a few months now, but nothing official had been established yet. Alexa hoped that one day, Anthony would finally gather enough courage to make them official.

But the thought of Cody finding out made her uneasy. She was there on a mission, and getting entangled romantically with someone was not part of her plan.

As she sipped her drink, she watched Anthony stand up suddenly and strip off his clothes before diving smoothly into the pool, causing a few of their friends to cheer and clap.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

“Come on in, Alexa!” Anthony called, laughing.

Alexa hesitated for a moment but then shrugged, setting her drink down on the table beside her. She stood up, feeling the warmth of the night air enveloping her body, and then slowly walked to the edge of the pool.

The cool water brushed against the soles of her feet, sending shivers up her spine. She paused, looking up to meet Alexis’ eyes, wondering if this would be a good idea. But his warm gaze and bright smile made her feel safe, and so she took a deep breath and jumped into the pool, feeling the water envelop her body.

As Alexa surfaced, she shook the water out of her eyes, glancing around at their friends, who were now splashing around and having fun.

Anthony swam up to her and put his arm around her waist, pulling her close. “This is amazing,” he whispered in her ear, his lips brushing against her cheek.

Alexa shivered as goosebumps ran down her arms, feeling the electricity between them. She wondered if she should tell him the truth about why she was there, but then decided against it. They were having too much fun and she didn’t want to ruin the moment.

Instead, she smiled and leaned her head on his shoulder, enjoying the night swim with the man she was falling for.
