My Boss's Hidden Heir (Elara and Marcus) novel Chapter 45

“Honeymoon actually.”

The lie came out very smooth and easy. She wasn’t sure why she said it. Maybe to see his reaction. Maybe just to mess with

him.

Wait. No. That was stupid. She backtracked immediately.

“I mean, vacation. Just a vacation.”

Chapter 45

But if she was being honest, Marcus was finer. Something about Marcus’s sharp edges. His cold exterior The way he cont at her sometimes like he wanted to devour her.

She was a sucker for fine men. Always had been.

They got to the beach in less than ten minutes.

And honestly, it was even more beautiful than Julius had described. The water was blue and crystal clear. The sand and white. The moon reflecting off the waves. A few lanterns set up along the shore giving everything a warm glow.

It would have pained her if she didn’t visit this place before leaving Santorini.

The staff at the beach welcomed Julius like he was someone important, and regularly visited there. Like someone with money. She should have known. The car. The confidence. The way he carried himself.

They settled into lounge chairs near the water.

Elara was wearing her short denim skirt so getting into the water wasn’t a big deal. She took off her sandals and walked to where the waves were lapping at the shore. Didn’t go too far. Just let the water touch her feet.

She brought out her phone and made these low exposure videos, those type of aesthetically pleasing video that influencers post on Insta****

She captured herself, the water, the surroundings and allowed Juls to appear towards the end of the video.

Julius stayed back. Just watching her. Smiling and relaxed.

She played in the water for a bit. Splashed around. Let herself enjoy the moment. The beauty. The freedom. The fact that for once she wasn’t thinking about contracts or secrets or anything complicated.

When she walked back, Julius was still watching her.

“Having fun?” he asked.

“Yeah. This place is amazing. Thank you for bringing me.”

“Anytime.”

They talked more. About absolutely nothing and about everything. Elara found herself teasing him. Flirting harder than should. Knowing exactly what she was doing. Trying to make Marcus jealous even though he wasn’t here to see it. Even though this whole thing was petty and stupid.

But it felt good. Felt like she had control for once.

Julius matched her energy perfectly. Laughed at her jokes. Teased her back. Made her feel seen in a way she hadn’t felt i while.

At one point he walked over to where she was sitting. He was extremely tall. Towering over her even when she was.

“How tall are you?” Elara asked. Then gave him that look. The one that said exactly what she was thinking Keeping direct eye contact. “Do the carpets match the drapes?”

Julius smiled. Wide and amused. “I’m six–four. And yeah. The carpets match the drapes. Trust me.” He glanced shorts. “Do you want to find out?”

They both laughed very loud. Real laughs that made her stomach hurt.
