Her Asian Billionaire’s Perfect Match

 *****

She went home late that night not wanting to face her apartment which had suddenly become too lonely for her. It was a little past eight when she let herself inside with the intention of drinking some tea to ward off the chill of outside and going straight to bed.

“I thought you would never get home.” His soft deep voice came from the living room sofa, the same sofa where she had not bothered to remove the pillows and the sheets. He was here in her apartment and she felt her body trembling from the knowledge that he had come home.

“John,” she forced her voice to remain steady and to stand her ground when he came over towards her. She had taken off her coat and hung it on the coat hanger. He stood in front of her just within touching distance. She realized that he had taken off his jacket and was in a steel gray shirt that he had unbuttoned at the neck. “You were supposed to be back tomorrow.”

“I cut the meeting short.” He murmured.

He was right here, standing in front of her and she was having a ridiculous conversation with him. She went mad! With a deep moan she jumped into his arms, her mouth moving over his with a desperation that could not be equaled.

He had to talk to her and he had come with the intention of doing just that, but the minute he had laid eyes on her, he had changed his mind. He did not want to lose her and seeing her had driven everything from his mind. He had seen the way her body trembled when she heard his voice. Whether she wanted to admit it or not she was falling in love with him and it had stopped becoming physical; it was becoming something else. The only thing he had to do was convince her that they belonged together. She had not opened up to him about her father and he wanted her to do so without him prompting her.

He had cut the meeting short because he had been pining for her and he had came straight here, not even going home to change or anything. He had wanted to see her, be alone with her. He was in love with her and he wanted her to realize that she was in love with him too.

He hurried home to change.

“Darling, when did you get back?” Asami looked at him in surprise as he rushed inside and made his way to his suite.

“Last night mother,” he kissed her cheek briefly before walking away. “I can’t talk now, I have a meeting at the office in fifteen minutes.”

“So where were you?” she asked following him to his suite. She had just come down from her suite and was planning on going into her greenhouse to work on some bulbs Lucas had brought over the day before. They were planning to go out to dinner later and maybe talk a stroll along the path even though the weather was not exactly made for strolls.

“I’ll tell you when I get back later.” He told her as he went into his vast closet to choose something to wear.

“Ah the mystery lady.” She said with a smile. “Am I going to finally get to meet her?”

“You already know her mother,” he told her coming out and buttoning up a cerulean blue shirt and pushing the tails into gray dress pants.

“I do?” she looked at him frowning. “Darling, I cannot imagine who that could be.”

“It’s Leonie mother and I would appreciate you not calling her and saying anything to her just yet. I don’t want to scare her.”
“Leonie Williams from the matchmaking place?” she asked her eyes wide.

“The same.” He nodded. “Now I really have to run.” He pecked her cheek lightly and left on a run, leaving her staring after him with a delighted smile on her face. Finally!
