CHAPTER 87

  Olivia's POV

  I wandered through Christopher's moonlit garden, the night air cool against my skin. The scent of roses and jasmine filled my senses, starkly contrasting the coffee shop aromas I was used to. Talk about an upgrade.

  From the corner of my eye, I caught sight of Christopher on the porch, nursing a drink. He cut a striking figure, all tall, dark, and loaded. I mean, handsome. Definitely handsome.

  I leaned against a marble statue, its cool surface contrasting my flushed skin. My mind raced, thinking about Christopher's offer. Sugar baby? Me? It was like being offered a role in a movie I wasn't sure I was ready for. Sure, he showed more interest in me than a kid with a new puppy, but could I do this?

  I glanced back at Christopher, his silhouette framed by the warm glow from inside. My heart skipped a beat. Who was I kidding? I wanted him. Bad. The kind of want made my toes curl, and my breath caught.
