Nate's POV

My gaze slides sternly over my business partner's face as I ponder how best to start this conversation.

It's been almost two weeks since breaking up with Sophia and every hour feels like someone is squeezing my throat. The little one really turned my head and without me noticing.

I just wanted to fuck her, but the first time I touched her, it was like an electric current went through my whole body and got me high. At that moment, however, I already knew that I would never be able to get away from her.

The little cat with the big brown eyes, the tiny nose and the wonderful lips turned my head and took over every single cell of my body. I still marvel at the extreme attraction we have for each other and how addicted I am to it already. Sophia's moans beat any aphrodisiac and just thinking about it makes me rock hard. Her purity and innocent nature make her so uniquely perfect and I can't go on living without her. I long for her closeness and the feel of her skin on mine.

That's probably the only reason why I'm now sitting in front of her mother and totally convinced to say goodbye to her as a business partner. I need Sophia and while I must get her father's blessing first, this loss is not a sacrifice for the happiness Sophia has brought me.

"Why did you want to see me so badly, Nathaniel?" the beautiful woman asks me, showing me a smile that is far too similar to her daughters'.

Sophia and her sister inherited their beauty from their mother and it's hard to miss. But while I found Flora incredibly sexy for a while, she hardly seems interesting anymore since Sophia came into my life.

"I'm canceling my partnership with Label de la Stinson, Ariana," I say, looking monotonously at her.

She straightens up and straightens her blue dress, not hiding how negatively surprised she is by my words.

"You know what you just said, don't you??" she hisses at me, brown eyes blazing with anger and I recognize almost the same expression that kept me awake two weeks ago. Sophia seemed so disappointed and hurt that my chest contracted strangely and I could hardly stand.

"You've always been great partners, but I got an offer from Bill Gates and I'm not going to turn it down. I'm sorry," I reply, taking a deep breath and then looking up.

"Shit! You're only doing this because Robert won't let you to her if you keep working with us!" she hisses at me, brushing her hair back and hardening her already stern gaze.

"My private life is none of your business.", "As long as my daughter is involved, yes. You'll get over her, Nathaniel. Don't be stupid, let her go and stay our partner. We need each other."

Her voice seems to sound weaker and poorer and with a loud sigh I get up from her couch.

"All I need is Sophia and as long as you have something to do with me and my company, I won't get her. And I would decide against you and for her ten times without even remotely regretting anything. The papers will be tomorrow at the latest Lying in your office in the evening and my brother will take care of the rest with you. Have a nice day.", I reply and turn around before I walk to my Audi, followed by my bodyguard John.

I need to see Sophia, touch her, kiss her and lose myself in her until all she can do is scream my name and stop counting her orgasms.

But before I do that, I need to talk to her father first.

We arrive in front of the huge Hamilton Hotel and I walk past the cameras to the elevators and just as I'm about to get on one, I spot the youngest of the Hamilton family.

"Vance, what are you doing here?" he asks, giving me a stern look.

"I'm here to talk to your father," I reply, buttoning my jacket.

"Cut Sophia, Vance. She's suffered enough because you lied to her and if you're the cause of her tears again, not even your behemoth bodyguard will be able to help you. That's not a threat, and it's not Command, it's a request among friends.", Roven Hamilton says to me, showing me the ninety percent resemblance to his father's actions in just a few sentences.

"I ended my relationship with your mother and I'm here to get your father's blessings because Roven, I want Sophia and I will get her. If I had given up on one thing straight away, I wouldn't have become the first billionaire under 30 . I understand your concern but believe me I'm serious about her and would do anything to get her. Whether or not you trust me is your choice, now if you'll excuse me your father is expecting me." , I reply, not even taking my eyes off his.

"It's been said what needed to be said, Nate. You don't have to convince me of your feelings for her, you have to convince Sophia." he says before turning and exiting his father's building.

When I arrive at Robert Hamilton's office on the fortieth floor, I suddenly become very nervous, which I probably don't even show in the slightest, but my stomach tightens.

If this goes wrong I will never see Sophia again and I don't know if I can survive this.

What did the little one do to me?

"Mr Hamilton is already waiting for you, Mr Vance.", comes the voice of the blonde behind the desk. I just nod and then go to the hotel owner's office.

When I look up, however, I make direct eye contact with the brown doe eyes that have been following me for weeks.

I swallow hard, already feeling the longing taking over my entire body, pore for pore, and the urge to fuck her until she's hoarse is hard to resist.

The whole world stops and like a halo the sun shines on its beautiful existence, showing me what I would lose if I didn't try.

My eyes immediately travel down her body and my throat goes dry at the thought of what lies beneath the piece of fabric she calls a dress. Big breasts, a flat, toned stomach, an ass to worship and legs to kneel down. She is like a goddess and I would always kneel for her as long as she looks me in the eyes with that promising look.

It's hard for me to turn away from her and I have to clear my throat to get myself back on track. I'm rock hard and the sexual tension in the air is palpable. The urge to beat her black and blue while hearing her moans of pain and protect her from the whole world is about to take over.

"Hello, Nathaniel." Robert says and nods as I reach out my hand across the large marble desk.

"Hello, Robert. Thanks for taking the time for me," I reply politely before turning back to my cat and looking into her eyes, which are just burning with desire and passion.

Her outfit is trying all my self-control just because the skirt is so short, but then there is the décolleté, which shows off her breasts wonderfully.

"Hello, Sophia.", I say much more familiar and give her my hand.

As she places hers inside mine, our skin touching, I growl almost silently, the sound of her moans echoing in my head.

"Hi, Nate," she replies, pulling her hand away from me before I even get a chance to enjoy the physical contact.

I try to put my mask back on and when my eyes pull away from her and slide to Robert, I sit up straight.

"What do you have to tell us or me, Nathaniel?" asks the billionaire with a sigh and leans back in his black leather armchair.

"I have canceled my partnership with Label de la Stinson, Robert," I reply, watching his reaction.

His eyes narrow, his stance becomes very stern, and surprise covers his face.

"You did what? Nathaniel, that's a loss you can't pay for in a hurry," he says, suddenly upset.

I knew he wasn't expecting it and that's exactly how I wanted it.

"I got an offer from Bill Gates and I wanted to take it up. It won't be exactly like Stinson, but it won't be any different either.", "You're going to lose more than a million dollars," he says and always seems still stunned.

"It's not really a loss, Robert. I want to be in a relationship with Sophia and if that means I have to end this partnership, then I will."

I can feel Sophia's eyes sticking to me and there's probably no better feeling.

"My dad wasn't the reason we broke up, Nate. I ended it because you lied to me." Her beautiful angelic voice sounds next to me.

"I'll make it up to you, Sophia, just give me the opportunity. You won't regret it," I say, making eye contact.

I can literally see the passion and lust flying around in the air and I could moan at how much she turns me on with just her gaze.

"The divorce is final and the age difference really isn't that big now. So Robert, do I have your blessing?" I ask, looking back into the other pair of brown eyes.

"You're basically my boss, so I certainly won't forbid you to meet my daughter. As long as she's happy, I have nothing to say. However, if you hurt her, then I won't guarantee anything, Nathaniel. You know yourself how well I do my job and if I had to I'd throw a million out the window for every tear my princess shed. Just to say the least," he replies.

Even if there is a hint of sarcasm in his voice, he makes the seriousness of the situation clear.

"Thanks. If it's okay with both of you, I'd love to have dinner with Sophia," I say, standing up, resisting the urge to look in her direction.

"I have a meeting anyway, thanks for the trouble Nathan. That proves a lot to me," says Robert before standing up and shaking my hand.

He says goodbye to Sophia and as he leaves his office, I turn aggressively to her, lick my lips and just by her hot gaze I can tell that she thinks exactly the same as me.
