ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO THE BILLIONAIRE SINGLE DAD (Gabrielle and Damon) novel Chapter 103

CHAPTER 103

GABRIELLE’S POV

I stirred in my sleep, a moan slipping from my mouth before I could process what was happening.

I woke up with Damon’s head between my legs.

His tongue lapped me up hungrily, one hand squeezing my breast and it made me almost forget he didn’t come home last night.

Almost.

I leaned on my elbow and raised my head to look at him. “No good morning or how-”

My words died in my throat as he spread my legs wider and sucked on my clit, making my eyes roll back into my head. I fell back on the pillow, giving him unrestricted access and privacy with his breakfast choice.

My morning couldn’t have started any better.

After I came, he leaned over me and kissed me until I was breathless and gasping for air.

I broke the kiss, a satisfied smile forming on my lips. “Someone is in a good mood this morning.”

He hummed against my skin as he ran open kisses down my neck. “You could say that.”

“Had a good time last night?” I asked, pushing against his chest so he’d look at me. “You know, considering the fact that you didn’t come home.”

He kissed my temple and got off the bed easily. “Yeah, I had a great time last time.”

He poured himself a glass of water and drank, staring out the window. He looked so sexy standing there shirtless and

unbothered.

I sat up slowly, leaning my back against the bed frame.

I had never seen him with friends, unless you counted business associates. So who could he be having a great time with if it wasn’t me?

I raised a brow. “Really? Who did you have a great time with last night?”

He turned to face me, his eyes low and lazy. “Is that jealousy I hear, wife?”

God, I wanted to jump on him and kiss him until we were both breathless but at the same time, my chest was squeezing too tight as he evaded my question.

My face flushed and I looked away briefly. “Of course, not. I just want to know who my husband had a great time with.”

He dropped the glass on the table. “It was with a new buddy. No need to get all jealous now, Gabrielle.”

I wanted to throw something at him so bad.

“I said I’m not jealous,” I returned, the lie sounding firm. “Why the hell would I be jealous? I don’t care.‘

He leaned against the wall and gave me that look that made my stomach flip. I tried to look away but I couldn’t.

And he knew that.

He knew what he was doing.

I swallowed, removing his pants with my eyes. “And I didn’t know you had friends.”

He shrugged, a satisfied expression on his face. “Neither did I, wife.”

After that, he brought breakfast upstairs while I was still drying my hair from the bath.

We had breakfast in my room as I was too comfortable in my robe and messy hair to go downstairs.

He took one look at me eating a strawberry innocently with my bird nest hair, and fucked me on the table, knocking over the entire breakfast tray.

I couldn’t tell what it was but there seemed to be a peace about him I hadn’t seen before. Like he was refreshed, and less… grumpy Damon.

I prayed he continued doing whatever he did to put him in such a good mood. His new friend must be a gem.

“I’ll be leaving for Italy in an hour or two,” he said casually as we lay on the table, our bodies sweaty and tangled together. You’re coming with me.”

My fingers caressed his chest. “I can’t pack in an hour or two.”

“There’s no need to pack anything. Except your sexy ass,” he teased, his expression straight.

My face reddened immediately.

I got off the table, tiptoeing around the mess on the floor. We freshened up separately as he couldn’t trust himself to take a bath with me without going another round.

By the time I was done, the staff had already cleaned the mess and Susan was waiting for me.

“Good morning, Miss Gabby,” she greeted me, her smile warm. “Lila’s mother is downstairs. She says she wants to see you.”

And just like that, reality set in, bursting the little bubble of bliss I’d been living in for days.

I knew Anya was going to pull another stunt but I didn’t anticipate it happening so soon.

I exhaled, resisting the urge to roll my eyes. “Tell her I’ll be don

She nodded and left.

in a minute.”

I groaned in frustration, putting on the lounge set I had bought the day before, and walked downstairs.

Anya was sitting on the couch, drinking tea and watching the news. She stood up when I walked in, her eyes taking in my lazy choice of clothing and wet hair.

All the women who used to be in Damon’s life seemed to have themselves put together so easily, while I looked like a college fresher beside them.

That was when I realized I didn’t even know my husband’s age.

“Took you long enough,” she said, folding her arms across her chest. “Where’s Damon?”

“In his room,” I answered. “Susan said you wanted to see me.”

Anya’s eyes rose to the staircase behind me, then fell back on mine before she spoke. “I have somewhere to be. I need you to watch Lila today.”

I raised a brow. “Same child you claimed I almost murdered? No, thanks. Besides, I’m going on a trip with Damon.”

Something unrecognizable flashed in her eyes. “This is your chance to be better since you refused to apologize. This is your chance to make it up to me.”

Something about her words irked me so bad. “See, that’s the problem, Anya. Why the fuck do you act as if I owe you something?”

She rolled her eyes at me. “We both know I don’t act that way. Maybe you should just be aware that you owe people some

respect?”

I laughed dryly. “I already treat you with respect, Anya. That’s the reason I came down here to hear what you have to say.”

“Well,” she said, my eyes flicking to the stairs again, “you could do better.”

Her audacity almost made me laugh.

“So you expect me to cancel my trip to watch your child?” I asked, just be sure I wasn’t hearing wrong.

“I expect you to cancel your trip to watch your husband’s child,” she retorted, her eyes hard. “What’s so important about a silly trip anyway?”

My eyes narrowed at her. “I need a break so I’m going on the trip. Lila can stay here and Susan will watch her. It’s just a day, right?”

I noticed how she kept looking up at the stairs as if she didn’t want anyone overhearing our conversation.

“Susan isn’t family,” she said. “But you, on the other hand, you’re married to Lila’s father.”

I shook my head. “Damon treats her like one so she is family. She’s been watching over Lila for as long as I have been around.”

Anya’s eyes narrowed but she didn’t say anything.

“And if she doesn’t work for you, you can afford a babysitter. Is there a reason you’re doing this? It’s almost like you don’t want me to go with Damon.”

Her eyes widened briefly. “Why the fuck would I want that?”

Before I could respond, I heard Damon’s voice behind me. “What‘

s goin

on?”

Anya spoke first. “Nothing. I was just… wishing you both a safe trip.”

That was a lie.

She obviously didn’t want Damon to know she was trying to emotionally manipulate me out of the trip. What she didn’t know was that it confirmed my belief about her.

She was using her child against me.

But why?

Damon’s eyes lingered on her for a second before he turned to me. “Something came up. We need to leave in ten minutes.”

I nodded, holding back my words for now until I had proof.

Anya picked up her bag from the table, her lips pressed into a tight smile. “I’d better get going then. Safe travels, you two.”

Then she walked out of the house as if the devil himself were on her heels, the door shutting behind her with a soft thud.

“Well, that was weird,” I commented.

Damon didn’t respond.

I turned to him, another comment loading on my tongue but his expression cut me off. His eyes were cold, and his posture was stiff.

I placed a hand on his arm. “What’s wrong, Damon?”

He glanced down at me and sighed, releasing his clenched jaw. “I’m just glad you’re coming with me.”

My heart swelled. “You’re deflecting but it’s fine. I’ll change so we can leave.”

At the same time, Fiorella rolled her luggage down the stairs. “Are you both not ready yet?”

My eyes took in her appearance. She always managed to leave me speechless with her beauty no matter how often I saw her.

“You’re coming with us?” I asked.

She scoffed. “What’s Italy without Fiorella? Of course, I’m coming along. But don’t worry, I’ll stay out of your way.”

Then she winked at me and called on George to take her bags to the car.

Damon’s arms wrapped around my waist and he pulled me closer. “Where we’re going… you might hear things about me.”

I stood on my toes and wrapped my arms around his neck. “What’s the worst they could say that I haven’t already seen?”

His eyes darkened. “I just-”

I cut him off with a soft kiss, then broke it and looked into his eyes. “I’m yours, Damon. Nothing is ever going to change that.”

He stared at me for a long moment. “Don’t make promises you can’t keep, Gabrielle.”

I smiled as I pulled away from his arms to change. “There’s more to me than you kno
