Badgering My Billionaire Bully Take That
Presley Brookmore wasn’t one to let an opportunity pass her by. All of her life her older brother Odin and his two best friends Cruz Hawley and Anderson Oak did everything they could to terrorize her. Everything from jumping on her sandcastles when she was a little girl to making fun of her when she got her braces at ten to interrupting her first kiss when was thirteen.It was the first kiss which was on her mind now. While Odin and Anderson were always just on the right side of going too far, it was Cruz who didn’t just straddle the line, he hopped over it with vengeance. Cruz always took their games too far and if she wasn’t crying, he wasn’t laughing, and man did that boy love to laugh.She cocked her head to the side as she and her two friends, Sloane, Anderson’s little sister, and Halima were sitting in a restaurant. One might argue it purely happenstance which put them in the same restaurant as Cruz Hawley, but Presley was certain it was fate.“I haven’t seen him in like five, s

“I’m going to kill your fucking sister,” Cruz hissed into the phone he held to his ear.Odin’s voice was quiet for a half beat before he responded, “half-sister and what the fuck did she do?”“Assaulted me in a fucking restaurant, accused me of abandoning her at an abortion clinic, beating her up, breaking her arm which all ultimately scared my fucking date off. This was a fifty-million-dollar deal with my date’s father and your bitch of a sister fucked it up!” He kicked the tire of his car and growled furiously wanting to punch the fuck out of something. Considering the way many of the patrons were watching, he didn’t dare.“Well, you did break her arm,” Odin chuckled.“It was an accident.”“My Dad still thinks you were trying to kill her. I mean I don’t like the brat but bumping her off seemed excessive even to me.”“Would you fucking focus?” he nearly screamed at his childhood best friend. He and Odin were not as close as they once were. He’d moved away more than seven years ago an

Her footsteps faltered as she entered her parent’s home and noted the quartet seated on the patio. She caught her mother’s eye who was in the kitchen with the chef and housekeeper and pressed her lips together.“I didn’t know Odin was coming to brunch today or he was bringing guests.”“Me either and it’s been fucking delightful,” her mother guzzled a mimosa and then started making a second one while the housekeeper Mary huffed her agreement of the woman’s sarcastic snarl. “Anderson is drunk already I think, and Cruz hasn’t said two syllables however your father and Odin were bickering about money. I came in here to try to get a good buzz before I go back out there. Join me?”She giggled at her mom’s words and then accepted the offered drink, “bottoms up.” She took a long drink and then smacked her lips together, “delicious.”“Thanks. I told your father if I needed to put up with the bullshit out there, I was opening the champagne he was saving for our anniversary.”“Fair deal.”They c

Presley found herself wiping tears of frustration away in the bathroom. Odin’s hatred of her started before she was born. All the therapy she took over the course of her life still didn’t fix the ache in her heart each time he came at her. It made her act bitter, angry and shrew-like and she was so tired of it and him.Her father and Odin over the years got into more fights, some of them quite heated due to Odin’s treatment of Scarlett and Presley but it didn’t seem to faze Odin in the least. The worst part was, her grandfather felt it was something time would heal and so when he passed away five years ago, he put their inheritances in trusts for both her and Odin under the care of her father and it could only be released in monthly allotments following one shared meal a month for ten years. They’d gotten through five years of it but there were still five to go. She didn’t need the money from her inheritance but Odin did and so she was forced to endure his bullshit because they both n

She was almost back to the patio, her heart pounding and her head reeling with what occurred when her cell phone rang in her back pocket. She slipped to the side hall.“Hello?”“Hey, it’s me. Consuela.”Her editor. The best and most wonderful person on the planet next to Sloane and Halima as far as she was concerned. “Hey you. What can I do for you?”“Did you get a signed authorization for the photo you used for your cover?”She halted her footsteps, “um. No. I have his verbal. It’s recorded.”Consuela sighed, “legal is saying it’s not good enough. Especially since of the way the photo is being altered. They drafted a specific document. I’m going to email it to you, but you need to get this model’s signature in order to release the book. We delayed the release five days so you could get this change in your cover, and I admit I like it better, but we need the proper authorization.”“Why can’t we use the verbal?”“Because you and I both know it was coerced and it didn’t specifically out

“What was that for?”“So, she knows I didn’t forge it.”“You punched me in the throat. It hurt like a bitch but nothing like the way my balls need an ice pack.”“You cornered me and lifted me off the floor. I was defending myself.”“I want you to kiss it better.”“As if.”He pointed to the front of his neck just below the Adam’s apple where a red mark still lingered. “This. Kiss it better.”“Not in a million years.”“Kiss it better or I’m going out there to your father and telling him how you crashed my date last week.”“Go ahead and I’ll tell him how when I was sixteen and you were twenty-three you, Odin and Anderson came to the coffee bar where I was working and made me cry by humiliating me in front of the customers in the store for not doing your coffee right even though it was perfect.”“You were a shitty barista, and I paid nine bucks for the coffee you fucked up.”“I didn’t fuck it up. You caused a scene to humiliate me.”“Kiss me better or I’m going out there.”“Why?”“Because

“I came with Anderson, can you give me a lift?” Cruz asked her frustratedly as they got outside.“I’m not going your way.”“You didn’t even ask where I’m going. When we first got here your mom said you bought a condo downtown on Cordova. I moved into my place in Coal Harbor a few weeks back. The bit of renos I needed done are complete now. You said you were going home to do laundry, so I presume we’re heading in the same direction.”“You said you needed to leave because your tech guy said there was an emergency.”“I need my laptop which is back at my place. I can go from there once I get home. Come on. Save me from having to call a rideshare. Please?”She’d never heard the word from his lips before and decided it would be torture for him to squish his big frame into her tiny car.“Fine.” She clicked her key fob and almost laughed as he was forced to crunch himself into the small sedan. She didn’t drive very often, and the car spent more time in the parking bay assigned to her in the c

Wednesday morning Presley was sitting at a cute little table for two overlooking the beach, listening to the surf pound the shore and the laughs of people enjoying the sunshine. Nice was turning out to be everything she dreamed it would be and more. When her editor told her to book time off and recharge herself after back-to-back novels, she’d initially balked but then when the countdown to her flight to France and this beautiful resort in Nice drew to a close, her excitement ramped up. Now, she was grateful her friends and family pushed her to follow the editor’s direction.She picked at a piece of a croissant and sipped her coffee, content in the first relaxing day she’d spent in months. Her book release was set. The initial pre-ordered copies would be available online for ordering on Friday with the new cover. The mass orders which would go to the bookstores would start being filled after. Her hopes for the book were for it to surpass the others she’d written.Her phone rang on the

Presley was wrapped up in Cruz’s arms at her suggestion of them making up when a knock on the door made them both groan again.“Seriously. Our friends are not kind.” Cruz complained as he moved to look through the peephole and then froze. He looked at Presley and put his finger to his lips shaking his head.“What?” she mouthed at him.He looked to the patio as if contemplating opening the curtains and going out of the room via the wall Algernon and her brother climbed earlier in the week. He grabbed his phone and sent a text to his security team, showing her, he asked them to come immediately. He took Presley by the hand and pulled her into the bathroom when a second knock at the door was harder than the first.He whispered, “it’s Liborio himself. He’s at the door. My security team is not on the floor, and I don’t even know if they’re in the building. Christ, I don’t usually travel with a huge team because I’m pretty low profile most of the time. I’m a single guy who doesn’t date and

Presley saw the way his eyes widened, his pupils dilating and his breath hitching as he rested his forehead against hers and exhaled quietly.“Do you mean it?”“I do.”“Thank you, God.” He whispered quietly.“I’m still really angry, Cruz.”“I know you are. You have every right to be. I promise, I’ll make it up to you.”She stared into his eyes and then admitted, “I wouldn’t have married him.”“What?”“If he would have proposed, I would have said no.”“Why? You loved him.”“I did. I loved him a lot but,” she felt mean for saying it, “his mother was a third wheel in our relationship. I was with him for almost four years, and I never introduced him to my parents as anything more than a friend and told him Daddy threatened to cut off my tuition if I got a boyfriend during college, which was true, but he said it as a joke.”“Your father said that?”She nodded, “So at first, we were only hooking up, but he got serious faster than I did. Then we decided third year we were going to room toget

Presley stood staring at the water lapping gently on the shore. It was quite possibly the calmest the sea had been since she arrived. It mocked her. While everything seemed right in nature, her entire world was imploding all around her.“Say something,” Cruz said from beside her, standing close enough she could feel the heat from his body and yet it felt like the entire world was between them. “Tell me you don’t think I’m a pervert for wanting you when you were seventeen or nineteen or twenty-one. Tell me you’re not going to leave me before we’ve even really gotten started.”She remained quietly watching the shoreline, the echoes of people laughing as they strolled the pathway between her patio and the beach, straining her ears.“Presley,” he stepped closer, his fingers reaching to grip her baby finger, “Ladybird, talk to me.”“Was it a prank?”“What?”“When you called your friend to offer the job, was it a prank?”“What do you mean a prank?”“My entire life, or at least from the time
Badgering My Billionaire Bully Confession
Presley waited until the room was emptied other than her and Cruz and then she turned to him.“What is the secret? What is it you’ve been hiding from me which is making Anderson give me strange side-eyes and hissing at you constantly?”“Can we sit?” He motioned to the patio, “preferably away from the mess in here.”She led the way to the patio table and sat on the chair facing the beach. Couples walked hand in hand the way she and Cruz did earlier in the day, and she realized it felt an entire lifetime ago.“Are you okay?” he asked as he sat down opposite her, his hands flattening and fisting atop the table as if nervous.“What do you think Cruz? Somewhere in this resort there is a mobster who is expecting to take me as a payment because my insane brother thought it would be a clever way to settle his debts and get rid of me.” She gave an upset huff, “no, I’m not okay.” She blinked angry tears away, “do you think this guy really killed his last two lovers?”“I don’t know. All I know i
Badgering My Billionaire Bully Confronting Odin
“What the hell happened?” Gavin came into the room with Scarlett quick on his heels. Odin was awake on the bed, but Algernon was sitting on him, refusing to let him up.“Cruz punched me out,” Odin laughed hysterically. “He’s mad because I told Presley the truth about how he’s not really going to marry her and it’s all a big prank.”“No, you giant asshole,” Cruz grunted from where he leaned against a wall, “I punched him because we found out he tried to sell Presley off to a mobster.”Odin’s head snapped up, “What?”“You told Liborio Bartoli you could make your sister be his mistress in exchange for your debt being paid off.”“How did you find out?”The blood caking Odin’s mouth made Presley grimace but then his question caught up from her ears to her brain.“You really did?”“I told you, you bitch, I hate your fucking guts. If a mobster wants to make you his sex slave in exchange for wiping my debt off, who am I to say no?”“What the hell is wrong with you?” Gavin asked clutching his

Presley was in her suite alone pacing.During their lunch, Odin took a phone call out in the lobby and then disappeared. Her parents were pissed off but they, as well as Marsha, were also too tired to deal with him so they, Sloane and Halima all went to their respective rooms.Anderson told Cruz he needed to talk to him about something and the way Anderson was watching Halima walk away, Presley figured the man needed to get his best friend’s advice on how to proceed. She thought Anderson was asking the wrong guy considering Cruz chased her with the tact of a bulldozer over an ant hill but what did she know?A knock on the door made her grimace, “Cruz, stop forgetting your key.” She grumbled as she opened the door to find Odin there. She immediately wanted to slam it shut.“What do you want?”“I need Dad’s room number. They wouldn’t give it to me at the desk.”“Can’t help you. I don’t have it.”“I need him to do the transfer.”She frowned, “what?”“We ate brunch together. He owes me tw
Badgering My Billionaire Bully Another Brunch
Presley smiled when Cruz’s hand rested on her knee under the table during their luncheon with their friends and family. He was acting like a possessive boyfriend, a real boyfriend, and while she knew he wanted them to be a real couple, it felt good to know he was still of this mindset even in front of the family.He was doting and it felt nice and even her father shot a couple of little smiles in their direction.Her happiness though felt a complete contrast to Halima’s. The woman was pissed off. She couldn’t help but snicker at the way Halima was shooting Anderson death glares and she and Sloane exchanged more than one curious look at the way their friend was behaving. They were realizing she was not as immune to Anderson as she said she was and to Presley and Sloane, it was kind of funny to see their unflappable friend at a loss.Her thoughts were interrupted by her name being called.“Presley!” a voice called from the end of their table. “Wow, you have everyone here.”“Paris,” she

“Well, you two look good together,” Anderson said with a smirk.“Don’t we? Told you she fits. See the way she fills all my negative spaces? It’s perfect.”“You have it bad.”“Not as bad as an idiot who told a woman she’d be having his brown babies within a year,” Cruz frowned at Anderson. “Did you actually think it would work?”“I blurted it out. First time in my life I ever panicked in front of a woman. I flirted with her, and she wouldn’t even respond and I fucking panicked and now I’ve been hiding from her brother. Have you ever seen him? The man is jacked. I mean he’s not as big as you, but they could use you as a body double for Dave Bautista. Few men on earth are as big as you but fairly sure Halima’s brother weighs a hundred and five kilos, easily. He’s also been arrested multiple times for running with a motorcycle gang.”“I thought for sure you’d take the hit.”“I’m a lover not a fighter Cruz. I need this face to convince her I’m pretty enough to be with her.”“You’re an idio

Presley was tucked under Cruz’s shoulder, her arm wrapped around his waist, laughing at the way he was hoping Paris would find a way to get Ramona to piss off when she heard her name being squealed loudly.She ripped herself out of Cruz’s grip and raced to Sloane and Halima and fell into their group hug. “Oh my god, I’m so glad you’re here.”“This place is incredible!” Sloane looked around excitedly. She leaned sideways, “hey Cruz, looking massive as always.”“Sloane,” he shook his head at her comment, “you and I need to have words about sending my ex here.”“I’m sorry she’s stressing Presley out. I’m not sorry she’s pissing you off though. You’re an ass.”Halima snorted, “yeah. A ginormous ass.”“We’re together now,” Cruz motioned between himself and Presley, “you should be nice.”“No.” Sloane laughed in his face. “She’s confused by the massive dick I keep sending photos of to everyone. Why your ex kept multiple pictures of your junk is unclear, but it’s been helpful in my support of
