114|Pretend You're A Lady
They spent almost an hour at Nicci's going through their formal dress collection.
Eden would have been done in five minutes if she was on her own, but Liam wasn't satisfied with any of the dresses she tried on.
She eventually settled on a black ruched racer-front neck midi dress and paired it with Jimmie Choo heels and a matching clutch big enough to house her phone, keys and lipstick.
By the time Liam walked into the changing room, Eden was all dressed up and ready to strike her first business deal.
Their eyes collided in the mirror and held ever so briefly before his gaze lazily caressed her from head to toe, a small smirk pulling at his lips.
"What are you doing here?" Eden asked as she turned back from the mirror to scowl at him, wishing she could kick herself for blushing like a schoolgirl at the hint of approval she saw in his eyes. "How did they even allow you in?"
Wordlessly, Liam crossed the small space and kissed her, his han

The owner of Lusso, Vic Randolph and his wife Kayla were already seated and nursing their martinis when Liam strolled into La Famiglia with Eden at his side, her hand firmly in his. The two men got down to business as soon as the introductions and pleasantries were out of the way. Eden played the role of hostess to perfection, going over and beyond to be attentive to Randolph's wife as she catered to her every whim and need. Kayla Randolph was a pretty little thing and half the man's age, but with enough plastic on her face and body to fill a landfill. Liam liked her, though. She was affable and well mannered. Not at all like a lot of the trophy wives he had met in the past. Every time he looked up from his discussion with the owner of Lusso, he'd find Eden and Kayla deeply engrossed in their conversation, and he'd smile a little, pleased to see he'd made the right decision by bringing her along. They were around the same age, had similar inte
Begin Again 116|More Of A Woman
Five minutes later, when Liam left the restroom with Eden's lacy panties safely tucked in his pocket, he ran straight into Laura and her entourage of lawyers and accountants. He'd met them a few times, went out to dinner and a show with them once or twice, too. But he couldn't say he liked any of them. "Li!" Laura ran straight into his arms, but he held them stiffly at his sides, refusing to open them up for her. "Play along and pretend you're happy to see me," she said under her breath. "They don't know we broke up." "Not my problem," he replied, matching her smile as he pushed her away. Laura turned to her friends and asked them to excuse her, promising to catch up with them in a bit. The friendly mask she'd worn just seconds ago came off the minute they were alone, and she went off at him, hissing viciously like a venomous snake. "Really, Liam, you couldn't do me this one favour?" Before he could remind her he didn't owe her
Begin Again 117|Need You Right Now
"What are you doing?" Eden asked as she crossed her arms and glared at Liam. It was bad enough she had to witness Laura's tongue stuck so deep in his throat she thought he'd choke on it. But now, he didn't even want to let her go home so she could fume in peace. "You are my date, and it's my job to take you home." "No! This was a work assignment," she reminded him, closing her eyes briefly as she slowly counted backwards from ten in a futile attempt to ease her anger. But by the time she reached the end of her mental countdown, she was still nowhere close to calmness. She was seething and properly pissed off at him for flirting with his ex in front of her and annoyed with herself for acting like a jealous high-schooler. "Eden, what the hell is going on?" Liam asked. "Are you upset because of Laura? She means nothing to me, I told you—" She held up her hand to stop him before he launched into a lengthy explanation that would serve no purpose ot
Begin Again 118|One At Last
They began to undress each other as a matter of urgency, and within moments, they were completely naked. For some incomprehensible reason, Eden seemed self-conscious suddenly and tried to cover herself. But Liam gently pushed her hands away and pulled her close, basking in the feel of her silky smooth skin as her petite frame melded with his in a scorching embrace. "Don't ever hide from me, Princess," he scolded as he crushed her lips with his and pushed his tongue inside her mouth, groaning when she opened herself up a little more, giving in to his demands. It didn't take long for their kiss and the flames between them to rage out of control and for his dick to grow hard. "I missed this," Eden purred, taking him in her hand and began to caress him gently. Liam closed his eyes, panting hard when she wrapped her fingers around him and moved up and down his throbbing length in a rhythmic motion. She was a little hesitant at first but gro
Begin Again 119|Marry Me
Eden passed out in his arms sometime after midnight, but Liam was wide awake, his mind racing, thinking about their fight. As he listened to her snore peacefully beside him, he was grateful their night had ended with her in his bed. It could have easily gone the other way since they were both determined to hurt each other earlier. He tightened his hold around her now when he remembered her anger and hurt at seeing him with Laura. He told her plenty of times his ex was as inconsequential as that lawyer dude, but for some reason, Eden refused to believe him, and he didn't know how else to make her see she was the only woman for him. One thing was certain, though. He had to handle Laura fast. There couldn't be any more misunderstandings between them. Eden shifted restlessly, breaking through his chaotic thoughts as she tried to get comfortable. "Liam, why are you still awake?" She mumbled sleepily and pushed her bare ass close to him, and
Begin Again 120|Once In A Lifetime Love
Eden stood with her back against the door, willing her heart to stop beating so hard in her chest. She felt lightheaded and weak-kneed. Probably a normal sensation after being thoroughly ravished by the only man she was now certain was her once in a lifetime love—a revelation that came to her at some point between leaving her place last night and waking up in Liam's arms this morning. The whole night was full of many revelations, actually, starting with catching Liam in a very compromising position with his ex. Eden knew Laura had goaded her when she jumped Liam as soon as she saw her come out of the restaurant. But she had at least expected him to push his ex away immediately if he felt nothing for her like he kept saying. When he didn't, it was like Simon and Olive all over again, and the memory of being cheated on had reared its ugly head. Seeing Laura so comfortable at Liam's side had made Eden realise something she had tried very hard to ignore f
Begin Again 121|Like You Too Much
It was still dark when Liam returned home after dropping Eden off, but the house should have been at least lively with Dave and the housekeepers as they got ready to start their day. It was surprisingly quiet, though, and the silence was even more deafening now that Eden was gone. Liam picked up the gift box with her dress and underwear and took it upstairs, smiling as he relived their conversation earlier when he asked for his shirt back. He was teasing her about the shirt, of course. But if he was honest, he liked having something of hers close to him. The smell of their lovemaking, still lingering in the air, hit him as soon he walked into his bedroom, and his eyes immediately fell on the tousled sheets, and he suddenly found himself missing Eden with a force that left him stunned for breath. He pulled out his phone and sent her a quick text. 'I miss you.' She replied immediately. 'You just miss fucking me, that's all.' Liam laughed and typ
Begin Again 122|Buckle Up, Princes!
Mathew called Eden into his office as soon as she came in and gently broke the news to her. She was being reassigned back to the CEO's office. Reeling from the announcement, she asked. "Why? Did I do something wrong?" "Of course not." Her boss shook his head. "If I could keep you, I would. But you were hired to work in Liam's area." "Until he got rid of me!" She reminded him. "I don't want to go." Matthew touched her shoulders gently. "Liam means well. You'll learn a lot in his space." "I fail to see how," Eden said stubbornly. "He sits in meetings the whole day; there's only so many minutes and reports and presentations I can take. At least in your area, I can work with the user experience and marketing teams—" Matthew waved her off. "Eden, don't make this difficult. He's already on the way here to get you. We both know why he wants you back. He needs you close to him. He's not comfortable when he doesn't see you." "I am not h
