Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 252

James was down to just a pair of black boxer briefs.

Every inch of him was pure muscle—broad shoulders, slim waist, a body that practically radiated confidence and heat. There was a thumb-sized scab just over his right pec that broke up the perfection a bit, but honestly, it just made him look even more dangerous and sexy.

Emmy caught herself swallowing, her mouth suddenly dry.

She couldn’t help but think, if it weren’t for her monthly visitor, spending the night with a guy like this would actually be… kinda amazing.

But right now?

She whistled in her head, all playful mischief.

Sorry, James.

James had no clue what was going on in her head. He just thought she was spellbound by him.

A little smirk played at his lips, and there was a heat in his eyes that could probably set the whole room on fire.

He stepped over and caught her wrist, his grip both gentle and possessive.

“Come on. Let’s take a shower together.” His voice was low and rough, sending shivers down her spine.

Emmy quickly pulled her hand free. “You go ahead. I’ll sit this one out.”

James thought she was just being shy, and he let out a soft, knowing laugh.

“All right, I’ll go first.”

He turned and disappeared into the bathroom. Within seconds, the sound of the shower filled the room.

Seizing her chance, Emmy hurried to the bed and swept all the rose petals onto the floor.

She let her hair down and collapsed onto the mattress, sinking into the soft sheets as a familiar tiredness washed over her.

Her period was always weird. She never got cramps, but the flow was heavy, and she got wiped out so easily.

Abriella always teased her about it, saying she had one of those “super-fertile” bodies—one touch and she’d be out, another and she’d be pregnant.

Abriella had also warned her, over and over, to be extra careful before marriage, or she’d end up regretting it.

Maybe that’s why Emmy had always been so stubborn about waiting until after the wedding. The last thing she wanted was to get pregnant before tying the knot and become everyone’s favorite gossip topic.

Lost in her thoughts, she didn’t even notice James coming out of the bathroom.

He was just wearing a towel low on his hips, water running down his abs and disappearing where the fabric began.

He caught sight of her sprawled on the bed, hair everywhere, cheeks flushed, looking for all the world like a ripe fruit waiting to be picked.
