Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

As she neared the ground, fear gripped her heart. It wasn't about falling to her death. No, it was seeing Connor standing there, steady as a rock, arms wide open, his eyes both firm and gentle. She feared he might get hurt because of her.

But her fears didn't come to pass. Chloe landed safely in Connor's arms. In that split second, he wrapped his arms around her waist almost instinctively. The momentum spun them around a few times, her feet never touching the ground. It felt like they were waltzing.

Eventually, they came to a stop. Chloe's cheek rested against Connor's chest. She could hear his heartbeat clearly-steady and strong, but faster than usual. She knew he had been just as nervous.

Connor held her tightly, as if he wanted to meld her into himself. For a brief moment, time seemed to stand still. If only it could.

Chloe quickly gathered her senses. "We can easily be spotted here; we need to leave, fast."

Connor let her go but immediately cupped her face and planted a firm kiss on her lips. "Let's go," he said, releasing her.

Chloe didn't dwell on the kiss. Both of them were overwhelmed by the relief of surviving a dangerous situation. They left the garden hand in hand and soon reached a busier area.
