I found myself walking around Liam's penthouse noticing only one family picture causing me to smile as I began to gaze at it.

His Mother is a very gorgeous woman, along with his brothers that were with him a few nights back when he met me.

"Hello Ms. Harper, Mr. Svensson just wanted me to inform you he'd be home soon." The housekeeper, Mrs. Mandy, stated with a smile

"Thank you!" I said returning the smile, facing her

"Is there anything you need?!" She then asked eagerly

"No thanks! I appreciate it though." I thanked her as I sat on the couch with Mrs. Mandy almost immediately walking over to me with a smile, pillow, and throw blanket

"Thank you," I said being reminded of my grandma the more she helped me settle in

"No problem!" She then said before walking away leaving me alone in the living room with my favorite cartoon playing on the TV

I then smiled thinking about Liam before sending him a text, "Why do I miss you so much and we are just on the first date?"

I then sat my phone down and laid it on the pillow near me.

"Jalanii..." A sweet voice called waking me from my sleep causing me to look over seeing it was Liam with a small smile on his lips

"How'd you sleep?" He asked lowly placing his hand on my thigh, gently rubbing it

"I slept fine," I said with a slight laugh from the feeling of his fingers caressing my skin causing me to gently entwine my hand into his

"How was the work thing?" I then asked leaning up to sit next to him as he followed me with his eyes

"Stressful...but soon to be eliminated." He replied gently rubbing my cheek

"Alright," I said with a little yawn before checking the time on my phone seeing it was past midnight

I then stood up grabbing my purse causing Liam to gently grab my hand, "Don't go...please." He plead lowly looking at me with soft eyes

"I can always see you tomorrow." I replied biting my lip before he rebutted swiftly, "And you can always sleep next to me."

I began to look over at the door contemplating the situation and more before he gently placed his hands on the sides of my thighs that were right in front of him because of my stance.

"Look at me..." He said lowly causing me to follow his directions looking him in the eyes

God, he looks so fine right now but I need to keep my composure.

He then leaned back on the couch pulling me onto his lap causing me to laugh at what he had done while he held me close with a smile.

"You're my dream woman Ms. Harper." He then said while leaning close to me as if he wanted to kiss me but couldn't causing my skin to burn with a passion

I quickly found myself pressing my lips against Liam's with him not backing down from the kiss, instead deepening it.

"What is this Liam? What are we doing?" I asked lowly as I pulled away from the kiss I had started now focusing my eyes on the rings on my fingers

"I just want to know is it just fun and something I shouldn't look forward to each day?" I then asked almost inaudibly

"Jalanii I don't walk around and just give women 10 million from my pockets you know?" He joked causing me to smile followed by a low sparked chuckle

"Please look at me..." He asked softly while gently grabbing my cheeks with his cold yet warm hands

I just feel something off about Liam. I mean he's shown up out of the blue and is now trying to swoop me away.

If my trust issues were slightly increased I'd believe he and his brothers set up a bet to see how much it would take for him to sleep with me.

"I'm not trying to hurt you." He then said with hurt eyes as if he was reading my mind

"I need to go" I then said getting up vastly while he followed my movement, "Where are you going? It's 2 in the morning." He asked

"Home. The club...I don't know right now!" I snapped lowly causing him to look down at me while I wiped my eyes from the sudden fear he had made present to me

Vulnerability.

Since I was 17, I've been in and out of clubs grinding to give peace and stability in my life. After my Nana passed, I was forced back into the hands of my Mother which led to the mental and physical abuse my grandmother tried so hard to keep me away from years before.

So when I got old enough...I ran away.

"Jalanii, please!" Liam plead as I laid my palm on my forehead beginning to stress this situation

What does he want from me that he doesn't want to seek from another woman?

He then slowly got on his knees and held my hands, "I just want to give us a try...and you not to be in a club forever."

He then kissed my stomach gently and rose back to his feet towering over me, "Stay the night."

"Okay," I said lowly before he picked me up carrying me to the back as I smiled at his action
