SNIPPET ONE - BILLIONAIRE ROMANCE
Leia looked towards Abby, uncertain if Hayden had been serious or not. Judging by the
expression on Abby’s face he had been. She nodded softly at Abby, who simply rolled
her eyes and shrugged.

“I’d be happy to help,” Leia said quietly.
Instead of being hunched down from anger and frustration, he now walked tall and
upright, eagerly making his way toward his bedroom. A cocky smile graced his blood-
stained face as their footsteps echoed through the hallways.

“The house can be a little confusing, I would show you around but I don’t think you’ll be
here long,” he said, trailing his finger along the wall.
here long,” he said, trailing his finger along the wall.
“That’s alright sir, I can find my own way,” she responded.
“If you go missing in here nobody will come looking for you,” he said.
He enjoyed making her feel unwelcome, which only worsened her hatred for him. Did he
treat all his staff this way?
“This is my room,” he said, holding his arm out so that Leia could enter first.
Her heart sank a little when she looked at his bedside table and noticed a pile of books
with a thin layer of dust on top. Perhaps she could read to him one day, if he let her
stay.
“The bathroom is over there,” he said, motioning to his right.
Leia wasted no time filling it with warm water. She splashed the water loud enough so
that he could hear it.
“I can’t bathe in all these clothes, can I?” he asked with a cocky smile on his face.
Determined to keep her job, Leia approached Hayden carefully. With a gentle tug at his
shirt, she untucked it from his pants and loosened the buttons. Hayden’s reaction did
not go unnoticed by her.
Her gentle touch took Hayden by surprise. He stood still as she made her way through
all the buttons.
With the last button undone, Leia slid his shirt off his shoulders, folding it into a tight
bundle. She noticed slight bumps crawling across his skin as her icy hands made
contact with his chest.
She continued to silently remove his clothes. When it was time to remove his pants, her
hands shook, but she unclipped his button, slid the zipper down and allowed his pants
to fall gently down to his ankles.

Hayden sat down on the bed as she pulled the pants over his feet, adding them to the
bundle with the shirt.
While on her knees, she tugged gently at his socks, sliding it off his foot and throwing it
onto the pile too.
“It’s been a while since a woman kneeled for me like this,” he said.
It made Leia uncomfortable and he knew it.
Leia’s cheeks were a bright pink. She was more grateful than ever that he could not see
her. She steeled herself before getting back up to her feet.
He was built better than she expected. She placed a hand on his shoulder, leading him
up and off the bed. She could see light scars all over his torso, likely from the same
accident that took his eyesight.
“If I may say something Sir, these look painful,” she said.
“I assume you’re talking about my scars?”
“Mhmm.”
She could feel her heart sinking as she looked at the damage done to a man she once
knew. He flinched when she placed a hand on his back. For a moment, she considered
leaving him in peace. Then she remembered why she was there.
His damage was nothing compared to what other people were going through because
of that accident. The anger built inside her once more. ‘He should have perished in that
accident,’ she thought angrily.
The hair on his body raised as she ran her cold fingers across his scars. Noticing his
discomfort, she smiled and placed her open hand on his back.
‘She is no different, she will also pity me. Just as everyone else does,’ he thought.
Her hatred for him overshadowed any discomfort that he attempted to make her feel. He
was trying to scare her off but, in reality, he wanted to put an end to it all and tell her he
could do the rest himself.
He remained stern, no matter how vulnerable he felt at that moment. All of this had a
purpose, and he had enough stubbornness to see it through. It was only a matter of
time before she became too uncomfortable and left.
‘Any minute now he will ask me to stop,’ she thought. ‘It is clear he hates this as much
as I do.’
as I do.’
Forgetting where she was and what she was doing, she reached a hand out toward him.
Her hand was close enough to his skin that she could feel the warmth of his body
radiating against her fingertips.
“Are you incapable of doing this task, Leia?” he snapped at her.
He had used her correct name. Although he hadn’t realized it, she knew it meant that
what she was doing was working. She just needed to see this through, and she would
have solidified her position.
It was only his underwear that was left for her to remove but, surely he did not expect
her to do that too? She had known him before and knew that he had always preferred to
be quite private.
Deciding to call his bluff, she moved forward with confidence, placing her hand on his
hip before she stopped, giving him the opportunity to back out. Instead, the corners of
his mouth turned slightly upward, forming a cheeky smirk.
“Something wrong?” he asked.
“Not at all,” she answered, trying to sound unbothered.
Hayden smiled. He had her exactly where he wanted her. He turned and leaned in
closer to her.
“Now, take my underwear off.”
“Y-yes, of course,” Leia said.
She had hoped to sound more confident. She had also hoped he wouldn’t let it get this
far.
“I’m waiting,” he said with a sly grin.
Leia’s fingers trembled as she reached for the elastic band of his underwear. She could
feel her cheeks getting warm as she blushed. She averted her eyes and slipped her
fingers between his skin and the elastic band.
