But now that she's signed the contract to let the billionaire's wife adopt her baby, Shannon has no other choice but to go along with their original plan and hide her feelings for Marcus.

What the hell had I gotten myself into? Watching them together like this—how could I give them my child and let them raise it? Sure I didn't really want a baby right now in my life, but what the hell was I thinking when I signed that contract? Was this really worth all of that money—making a baby just to sell it?\u003cbr\u003eI pushed back my chair and just as I stood up, the door opened again. I expected Tracy was coming to herd me back to my desk, but Marcus rushed into the room, his arms around me before I could react. When his lips met mine, I melted into his embrace, all of the weirdness of the meeting completely gone.\u003cbr\u003eOur lips parted but his hands roamed my body.\u003cbr\u003e\"I can't believe how much you riled her up,\" he hissed, his breath hot against my ear. \"She was full-on panicking.\"\u003cbr\u003eHe kissed me again, our bodies pressed together, mine awaking with wanting. Was he going to take me right here, in this conference room? It was such a bad idea, but I wanted it more than anything.\u003cbr\u003eFinally he pulled away, stepping back so only the palatable desire in the air still linked us.\u003cbr\u003e\"She thinks it's my fault. I'm going to hear it tonight. Don't do that again. You have to play nice.\"\u003cbr\u003eI nodded, hoping this scolding was just more foreplay.\u003cbr\u003e\"Call her this afternoon. Set up the meeting with the lawyer for the contract. Tell her you were being hard on her to be sure we were the right couple. Invite her to your next doctor appointment.\"\u003cbr\u003eI nodded again, trying not to visibly pant, but my heart was pounding in my chest and I just wanted to grab him, to be consumed by him.\u003cbr\u003e\"All right.\" He turned towards the door, but I grabbed his hand, tugging him toward me.\u003cbr\u003eHe looked down briefly, then gently slid out of my grasp. \"We have to play by the rules. This is a dangerous game and everything is at stake. We can't get distracted.\"\u003cbr\u003eMy hand dropped to my side. Marcus looked up at me, waiting to see that I understood.\u003cbr\u003eI didn't want to agree. I didn't want to play this game anymore. What had I gotten myself into? But I couldn't back out. Even if it all was starting to feel like a giant mistake.\u003cbr\u003e\"Okay,\" I said, my voice barely above a whisper.\u003cbr\u003eMarcus nodded and left the room without another word.","brand":"Kylie Ashcroft Stories","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47108742545648,"sku":"2940148622680","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148622680_p0.jpg?v=1763705327","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148622680","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
