Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1049

Emmy felt her whole body go weak as he kissed her. Her hands wrapped around his neck without even thinking, her head tipping back so she could kiss him just as fiercely.

She lost track of how long they stayed like that. Eventually, James pulled away, just barely, but kept his face nestled into the curve of her neck, his breath coming hard and fast. The heat of it swept over her skin, making her shiver.

“Babe…” His voice was rough, tinged with excitement and a kind of boyish relief. “I finally did it. I finally kicked him out.”

It was like he hadn’t let himself breathe easy in ages, and now the weight was finally gone.

Emmy’s heart just melted. She ran her fingers gently through his hair, her voice soft. “I knew you could do it. I never doubted you.”

James looked up. There was fire in his eyes, something dark and electric, desire swirling just beneath the surface. “Babe…” His voice was low, almost a growl, and in the next instant, he scooped her up into his arms.

She clung to his collar, startled but trusting, as he carried her to the big bed. The second he laid her down, his mouth found hers again, hotter and more relentless than before. His hands, rough with calluses, traced her waist and started undoing her buttons, one by one, with desperate urgency.

Emmy’s breath came faster and faster. She felt like she was drifting in a storm, barely hanging on, clinging to the only solid thing in her world. Want and longing crashed over her, burning away any reason she had left.

James’s lips traveled down her neck to her collarbone, where he nibbled softly, sending a delicious shiver through her.

“Wait… hang on…” Emmy gasped, tipping her head back, her voice trembling. “We’re at the office… Maybe we should go to a hotel?”

James froze, sweat beading on his brow. He looked down at her, taking in her flushed cheeks and sparkling eyes, his throat working as he swallowed. This wasn’t the right place, not private enough. And, more importantly, he wasn’t prepared.

He took a steadying breath, forcing himself to calm down. “Okay.”

Emmy let go of his hand, nodded calmly, and walked toward the elevator with Penny, not looking back.

James faced Shelly, his voice sharp and cold. “Come in.”

Shelly followed, and Wiona quietly closed the door behind them. James walked to his desk, slipped one hand into his pocket, and looked at his mother with a steely gaze.

“My fight with Tyler was because he abandoned Jamie and now wants to profit from what Jamie left. I’m not letting him touch anything that belonged to Jamie. He doesn’t deserve those shares. So all of this, everything between me and Tyler, has nothing to do with Emmy. Not one bit.”

His voice was low, every word biting cold. “Let this be the last time. If you bother her again, or say one more word to her that you shouldn’t…” He paused, his stare turning dangerous. “Then don’t blame me for forgetting we’re family when I send you to a home, where you can enjoy your golden years in peace.”

Without another word, James turned and walked out.
