Page 25 of His Addiction
Jamie grabbed his jacket, draping it over his forearm, and with a final glance, walked away from the booth.
The guy had the power to strip a woman of her defences and leave her at his mercy.
And in that moment, Shannon realised the woman he had undone…was her.
Shannon watched him walk away, each step pulling her further into the haze of desire.
Her heart hammered, torn between her sense of duty and the overwhelming need to let go.
She exhaled, the weight of the decision settling in her chest.
“Fuck it.”
In a rush, she grabbed her phone from the booth and dropped it in her bag, then darted after him, not caring about the consequences anymore.
When she reached the lobby, he was nowhere to be seen. Still hopeful, she dashed toward the exit, heart racing, but by the time she stepped outside, looking left and right, he’d disappeared.
The cool air hit her skin, but it couldn’t chill the fire blazing within her.
She stood frozen for a moment, the reality of her stupid decision to deny him sinking in.
Damn, she’d never see him again.

Jamie
What the fuck just happened?
Jamie’s strides were electric, his pulse hammering in his chest as he walked away.
There was an uncontrollable skip in his step from the buzz of adrenaline and growing hardness straining against his boxers.
Shannon Colter was stunning. Gorgeous. Intriguing. Hot as hell.
And that fucking kiss… Wow.
It hit him like a high-speed train. Reached right inside, scrambled his organs, and the surge of blood to his dick left him dizzy.
If that’s the high he got from a simple kiss, then the rush from having her kneel for him would be goddamn explosive.
And damn, what a body. The way her t-shirt hugged her tits made it impossible to focus on anything else.
When she took off her coat, his mind hadto thank those tight jeans for showing off her ass, every inch of her calling to him.
That uniform of hers would be a sweet addition to his bedroom floor. Her naked body wrapped around him, sooner rather than later, was a fantasy he planned to make happen.
“I’ll be in touch, Shannon,” he muttered to himself, knowing she wouldn’t hear him.
He’d let her think about that kiss for a while, then hunt her once she couldn’t shake it.
Throughout the meal, there had been no mention of his wealth. Even when he dropped his businesses into the conversation, she hadn’t asked the inevitable question—how much do you earn?
The billionaire lifestyle still seemed unreal to him. His family had come from nothing, and now they moved through a world unlike the one they’d once known.
The reality of never having to work again seemed almost ridiculous.
But the power…thatwas real. They’d worked damn fucking hard for it. And now they had it all.
