The Valiant Trilogy Chapter 92: Missed You, but Now What?
I stare out the window watching the Eiffel Tower and wonder how long to the next light show. I notice his presence as soon as he enters the room, but I don't turn and face him. Vincent doesn't speak either until his chest presses against my back. He rests his hands on my upper arms and stands behind me, looking outside as well."I've missed you so much, Mackenzie."Those words get me to turn until I face him. He wipes away a tear away before it streams from my eye. "I don't know how to forgive you."I want to. Yes, Vincent lied, but did he have a good enough reason? Did the circumstances make it okay? This one gigantic lie has made me question all the other things he said.Vincent gathers me in his arms and I lay my head on his shoulder. "Give it time. Let me show you, but don't give up on me."He tilts my head up toward his and places a soft kiss on my lips. It's tender and sweet, and he doesn't ask for more. But when it's obvious he won't do it again I stand on my tiptoes a
The Valiant Trilogy Chapter 93 – All Good Things Come to an End
Vincent's fingers intertwine with mine and we stroll Champs-Élysées together in the morning. Tourists pack the famous high-end street known for its shopping. Every part of Paris is packed with tourists. Even as a piece of my heart longs for privacy with Vincent like we had the night before on the boat, I marvel at the shops. I never thought this trip would be possible. At least not at this point in my life. I expected to save for years to make the journey, but here I am in my twenties experiencing it.Expensive stores line either side of the street. Everything you could need from a top-of-the-line fashion store is here. I can't afford to shop in any of them. Just strolling along the sidewalk and among the others is enough for me.Vincent squeezes my fingers as we walk past the Louis Vuitton store and my mouth falls open, looking at the beautiful purses in the window. Even with my ridiculous income as Vincent's assistant, I can't afford to set foot in the store."Thanks for making
The Valiant Trilogy Chapter 94: Turbulence
The table jostles and I grab onto my glass of Sprite as the plane hits another bout of turbulence. The ice cubes rattle against the glass, and when the plane settles again, I lean back getting comfortable on the couch."I could get used to this first-class travel thing," I say smiling at Vincent. Besides the random worries our plane will plumped out of the sky the rest of our trip has been wonderful.When it's your own private jet, is it still considered first-class travel or is it more? Is there a higher tier?If not, someone needs to come up with one and quickly.Vincent laughs. "What about the carbon footprint?"I narrow my eyes at him. "I'll make my mega-rich boyfriend buy carbon offset credits." Show him to be mouthy. He smirks. "Done."He goes back to typing on his laptop, his eyes zoned in on the screen, not looking up when he answers me. The turbulence hasn't slowed him down one bit.The large jet we've taken across the ocean to and from Paris is much more what
The Valiant Trilogy Chapter 95: The Mile-High Club
"I have not."That damn eyebrow tics higher. "Yes, you have."I drop the sleeping e-reader on the coffee table next to my drink. "I'm not bored. I'm thinking."Vincent takes a large breath as if he's gathering strength for dealing with me and then closes the lid to his laptop, pushing it to the side. "About your desire to join the mile-high club? Because if so, I can make that a reality."I laugh, my eyes flitting back of the bedroom. Maybe. "No.""Then what?""Where do people think we've been? What happens we get back to the states? What about your… Tiffany?" I don't want to use the word wife to describe her. It's a complete cop out on my part but a constant reminder of the trouble facing us. Sometimes in a woman's life, she needs to take the cop out and hold on to it like her favorite childhood stuffed animal. "What about us?"Vincent smirks and leans back in his chair. "That all?"That all? That's everything."It's a start," I say lifting a shoulder.He stands an
The Valiant Trilogy Chapter 96 – Morning Coffee
I set Vincent's morning coffee to the side of his keyboard right where he likes it and then step back looking at the way I've arranged his breakfast for the morning. Can optimal working happen at this desk? I tilt my head to the left. Then the right.The coffee sits too near the keyboard. There could be spillage if he hit it with his hand while sitting down to work. I adjust the coffee to the right and stand back, smiling at my perfection.My plans never had me working as someone's personal assistant, but it turns out when I put my mind to it, I make a damn good one. My deep sigh of satisfaction moves a few of the copies on the corner of Vincent's desk and I stop and arrange them back into a neat stack before leaving his area.Vincent and his musky woods scent, which makes me want to take off his shirt and roll around in them for a few hours startles me at his office door.His gaze is dead set on the center of his desk where a wrapped breakfast sandwich waits. "Is that peanut b
The Valiant Trilogy Chapter 97: A Nosy Roommate
Mainly a nosy roommate who wanted to know every single thing about my trip and who texted me incessantly until I returned home to fill her in—on most of it—in person. When I asked Davis to drop me off at my apartment after we left the small Lansing airport, I worried Vincent might think the worst. But my head was still wrapping itself around the fresh developments, and I reassured him while also promising myself everything would be okay.We stare at one another with a million words to say. Apologies and questions about the future, but we're at work now and I promised myself, and Vincent, I would be an excellent assistant. Those things have to wait.My phone vibrates in my back pocket. I'm waiting on a call from Vincent's dry cleaner so I don't waste a second pulling it free.HENRY: How is your dad?I roll my eyes and slip the phone back in my pocket without answering."What?" Vincent asks, studying me carefully.I swoosh a hand in front of my body like I can wave away Henry
The Valiant Trilogy Chapter 98 -Not Open for Discussion
"No," I sputter out quickly. "V, I'll be fine." No way I'm having a crazy beefed-up dude follow me around trying to hide in the shadows.He turns back to his papers, not seeming too upset. "Fine I'll let it go for now, but I'm leaving the discussion open for later."I pause at his doorway shaking my head. "Okay, I don't foresee that ever happening, but we can leave it open."He starts to say something else, but I walk away from the doorway. The red light on my phone flashes to life with the first of many calls scheduled for the day. It's going to be a long day, but I'll spent tonight with Vincent and that's a good reward.… I MOAN AND MUMBLE, my legs clenching together but being forced apart. My head thrashes in the pillow and my eyes pop open finally coming awake."What?" I ask dazed as Vincent's tongue finds my core again.His head pops up from between my legs and he pulls, twisting the covers away from my body. "Lie back and relax. This is a morning treat."Before I
The Valiant Trilogy Chapter 99: Job Loss
I have tears in my eyes as I lower the phone and look to him, the first sign something is amiss.Slowly as if I'm precious and he doesn't want to damage me, Vincent takes my chin in his hands. "Mackenzie, what's wrong? Tell me."I sniffle and wipe across one eye. Doesn't he see? "I'm sad because I'm losing my job and now I need to find a new one. My boss can be a real ass, but he's grown on me."Vincent appears startled as if I've lost my mind. He even chuckles despite my sorrow. How can it be one week ago I was so mad I wanted him to fire me, but now faced with not getting to spend my days with Vincent has me ready to blubber like a small child? How much changed in a short time?He takes my phone and tosses it lower on the bed. "Go shower," he says placing a kiss on my chin, his hand running lower and squeezing one of my breasts. "You're not losing your job. It's just moving the marketing. I already told you this."It's the second time he's agreed to maintain our original ba
