I watched as his danced along the steering wheel before finding their way to his magnificent blond locks. He fought his instinct to pull the locks in frustration, guess he didn't want to mess up his hair. His hands finally settled in his lap. He took a deep breath and then exhaled.

"I was going to tell you."

Uh oh. Don't tell me this fucker is married!

"I swear I'm single," he chuckles seeing the coloring of my face. I relaxed and cooled off.

"I—I'm an heir."

"So, you're super rich."

"I suppose. But I do like living out of the spotlight. I'm just hoping no one recognizes me tonight."

"And, how likely is that?" I ask incredulously.

"Very."

"So, what does this mean for us?" I asked as a fear grips me. Did I care for him that much already?

"Lack of privacy."

"I'm not going to have reporters on my door, am I?" I asked thinking about my child's safety.

"I don't think so. I'm pretty boring. Amelia, I have strong feelings for you, and I truly want this. It's up to you whether or not you want to continue it. If the benefits outweigh the cost."

I smiled to myself as I thought of Ashton. I wasn't the only one who always put people's needs before their own.

"You're worth it."

I blush as a smile as bright as a million stars spreads across his face in sent my heart flying into the heavens. He was beautiful. So handsome. He trailed his finger along my jawline, before grasping my chin in his hand. I feel as though I'm going to shake apart as he draws closer and anticipation has sent my senses on high alert. A kiss lands on my noses, then he playfully licks it; which sends heat careening through me. It all ends with a short and sweet kiss on my lips.

"Good, because you're going to be mine one day." He gently whispers. "You and that beautiful little boy."

I fight the tears that are threatening to swell as he starts the car, and where off into the night.

We pull up to a lavish estate, that looks like something right out of the medieval period.

"Uh, Ashton." I squeak spotting the elaborate and colossal structure. He turns to me as my eyes are glued to the building out front. "How rich are we talk?" I try to make it sound casual and nonchalant, however, I've failed epically. My eyes are wide as saucers and I'm terrified to even hear the answer.

"Billions." He says giving me a sheepish look.

"Oh lawd! Ashton, I'm going to 'ave to hogtie ya!" I say as my mind shoots off into space. I can get through this. I don't even know what to say.

"Thoughts?"

"There ain't none!"

"You can do this love. Remember, you work for Hamilton Holdings. Not an easy feat for a twenty-two-year-old."

"Now that we're on age, how are you?" I say studying him from my perphierals. The side eye is strong.

"Thirty." He says smiling ruefully at me.
