The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

He had it coming.

Isaac saw right through Brittany's sly trick and decided to play along, grabbing her hand, "Alright then, you help me."

Clearly, Brittany had underestimated how shameless he could be. She snatched her hand back, her face flushing red, "No way."

Isaac held onto her hand, refusing to let go, and leaned in closer, "Didn't we used to do just fine?"

Brittany vaguely remembered some rather inappropriate scenes, pushing against his chest, unable to meet his dark gaze, "Go take a shower, I'm tired." Isaac's breath hitched, if it wasn't for her condition...

He took a deep breath, planted a quick kiss on her lips, and got up.

"If you're not asleep by the time I'm out, don't say I didn't warn you."

Brittany immediately burrowed under the covers, her eyes peeping out, "Goodnight."

Isaac chuckled under his breath and strode into the bathroom.

The sound of water running filled the space as he washed away his frustrations, donning a fresh set of pajamas afterward.

Brittany, still awake in bed, heard him return and immediately shut her eyes, feigning sleep.

Isaac knew her too well to be fooled.

He approached the bed, lifted the covers, and embraced Brittany.
