Tempting the Billionaire and His Heir

Alexa felt a mixture of surprise and fear. She pulled away, her heart racing and her mind spinning.

“What was that?” she stuttered.

Nolan looked at her with a mixture of regret and longing. “I’m sorry,” he said in a low voice. “I couldn’t help myself. I’ve wanted to kiss you for so long now.”

Alexa shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts. “But that’s not the point,” she said, her voice shaking. “I can’t just forget everything and be with you. What about Anthony?”

Nolan sighed. “I know,” he said. “But I can’t help the way I feel. And I think you feel it too, don’t you?”Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Alexa looked away, unable to meet his gaze. She was torn between her loyalty to Anthony and her growing feelings for Nolan.

“I don’t know,” she admitted. “I thought I loved Anthony more than anything. But now I’m not so sure. I can’t betray him like this.”

Nolan nodded understandingly. “I know it’s complicated,” he said. “But you have to follow your heart. And if that means being with me, then I’ll do whatever it takes to make you happy.”

Alexa sighed, feeling overwhelmed by the situation. “It’s not just about me,” she said. “It’s about the lives we’ve built, the people we’ve become. I can’t just throw it all away because of a kiss.”

Nolan watched her in silence, sensing the depth of her conflict. He knew he had to be patient and understanding, to give her the space and time she needed to sort out her feelings.

“I understand,” he said softly. “I’ll wait for you, Alexa. I’ll wait as long as it takes.”

Nolan had been waiting for the moment where he would kiss her for a long time. Of course he would desire to kiss the woman that he had been in love with Alexa for months but had been too afraid to tell her.

When he leaned in and kissed her, he had hoped that she would feel the same way he did. But the kiss was not reciprocated, and Alexa had pulled away in shock.

“I-I’m sorry,” Nolan stuttered, realizing what he had done. “I shouldn’t have done that without your consent. That was wrong of me.”

Alexa remained silent, the shock still etched on her face. She couldn’t believe this had just happened. Nolan had always been a good friend, and she had never suspected that he felt that way about her.

“It’s okay,” Nolan said, trying to reassure her. “I promise I won’t force myself on you. I just couldn’t keep these feelings inside any longer. I understand if you can’t forgive me.”

All Alexa could muster was an excuse to leave the room. She needed to get away and process what had just happened. But Nolan stopped her just as she was about to leave and told her to take her time. He assured her that he would wait for her and that he was willing to give her all the space she needed.

Feeling slightly comforted by his words, Alexa nodded her head and turned to leave. But just as she was about to step out the door, Anthony came inside the room.

“Hey, is everything okay here?” Anthony asked, sensing the tension in the room.

Alexa quickly composed herself and reassured Anthony that everything was fine. Nolan looked at her, hoping to get a sign that she was okay. But Alexa simply nodded her head and began to leave the room, leaving Nolan to ponder on what he had done and what would happen next.
