Damien Black...
And to think, when I woke up this morning, head splitting from the wild night before, I worried today might be boring.
Then again, when you were a billionaire with nothing to do except whatever you pleased, that was always your greatest fear: that boredom would creep into your life with no cure in sight. When you’ve seen it all and done it all, every party tends to look the same—every supermodel blends in with all the others, and each bottle of fine champagne is identical to the last. And in the end, all you have to show for your day is a hangover and the fact that you kept boredom at bay for one more day… barely.
But this—this little thief with her big dolls eyes and her tight little body squirming in my arms—this was something new. Something exciting.
No one ever dared cross me, the heir to the Black family’s steel empire, or my family, for that matter. We ran this town, and everything and everyone knew it. No one messed with Damien Black… which is why I couldn’t just let this little lady go.
No, no. She was far too interesting to just set free.
And beneath those baggy clothes and boy’s baseball cap, she was far, far too pretty…
Lilly Maverick...
Stealing’s easy.
It’s living honestly that’s hard, which is why I stick with what I know. I was taught how to lift a wallet before I learned how to throw a ball or ride a bike, and over the years I got damn good at it.
They say if you’re good at something, you should make a living out of it, and you’ll never work a day in your life… or something like that. Who the hell knows what normal folk do, with their 9-to-5’s and their white picket fences? I sure ain’t one of them, and I make my way the best way I know how.
That’s how I came to be in possession of the wallet of Mr. Damien Black, billionaire playboy, on that fateful June day, and how he suckered me into being his.
Normally, I wouldn’t spit on a man like him if he were on fire, even if he was the most gorgeous man I’d ever seen in my life. Folks like him and folks like me didn’t mix, and that was that. Well, usually.
But when I bumped into him as we waited in a crowd together at the crosswalk, we made eye contact for the briefest of moments.
And it was then, I knew, my life was about to change forever...
