Badgering My Billionaire Bully Concocting A Scheme
Presley stared at Cruz while he paced the room frantically.“It’s insane.”The first words he’d spoken since she’d explained why she asked for tinned fish were not the most comforting of words, but she understood why he was, quite frankly, panicking.“So crazy it might work?” she asked with hope.“No. I mean you are ready to rival Ramona for crazy chick of the year. And the award goes to,” he waved at her as if presenting a trophy.“Nice. There is no need to be rude.”“You want to prank a mafia don!” he snapped at her. “I said to use your creative mind to come up with a plan to get us out of this shit Odin dragged us into and instead you want to prank him?”“Yes.”“No.”“Yes.”“With tinned fish?”“Among other things.”“Such as?”“My mind is running now,” she bounced in the bed happily. “First I’ll make the fishy perfume so when I ask him to take me to dinner tomorrow night, I smell like my coochie has rotted.”“Yeah, we’ve been over this one,” he shook his head. “I don’t want you goin

She knew Cruz was likely going to strangle her when he realized she’d slipped out of the room while he slept but at this point, she was preferring his rage over the rage of Liborio Bartoli. She needed to figure this out before the other man started killing her family.It was not even six in the morning, but she had zero regrets about banging on Sloane and Halima’s door, especially when Sloane was the person, she needed most in this moment.The door pulled open, and her friend stood there with bloodshot eyes, hair in the messiest bun ever and a sleep crease down the side of her face.“You look awful.”“I forgot how bad Halima snores and worse, I forgot she gets up at five to do yoga, regardless of the time zone. She’s on the patio.” Sloane pointed to where Halima was stretching outside. “Who does that shit?” Sloane groaned and crawled back into bed and whimpered, “I’m so fucking tired.”“Yes, well you don’t have time to be tired. Liborio Bartoli came to my room last night and threatene

Entering the room after her chat with the girls, she immediately noted Cruz was not there. Considering she’d snuck out on him while he slept without leaving him a note, she knew she didn’t have an argument to win by his disappearance. Yet disappointment coursed through her veins he wasn’t there to talk to about the things she planned for the day.Deciding to take a quick shower in the hopes he’d be back by the time she was done, she gathered her belongings and made her way into the bathroom. She left the door open so she could hear him if he came back and acknowledged it was kind of funny to think of how much she fought him on the door and now she was not even using it.All her ideas were running through her brain at a pace she could barely keep up with. The more absurd the idea, the more she was leaning into it. She knew at some point she was going to have to face reality but this pretending she was in control, acting like she was taking charge was making her less fearful of the real

Presley left the dining room aware Cruz, and her father were furious with her for walking away and her mother was sitting helplessly caught in the middle.However, as if she’d conjured him with her last comment, she noted Liborio Bartoli exiting the elevator. The urge to duck under the reception desk hit her hard but he’d made eye contact with her, and she knew there was no escaping.“Good morning, Presley. You look lovely this morning.”“What’s so good about it, Mr. Bartoli? I’m having a rather bad day. Couple of days actually.”“Well, would you care to join me?”“In what?”“Breakfast.” He gave her a half smile. “I’m not keen on eating here at the resort but there is a lovely bistro not far from here. Come. Let’s go drink rich coffee, eat fresh baguettes and delicious cured meats. You will love it.”“Do you have our rooms bugged?” she blurted the question out before she could stop herself.He chuckled at her blunt question, “what do you think, Presley?” He leaned closer to her and wh

Watching as Mina sipped her coffee, Presley wondered if it was possible this woman was really as innocent as she proclaimed. The way her tongue darted to the edge of the coffee cup to lick the droplet of the brew and the way her eyes seemed to be drinking in the scenery while completely ignoring the way every man seemed to be looking at her felt far too innocent to be real. Yet, the woman appeared truly oblivious to her effect on multiple men in the area, including Liborio.He on the other hand was even colder and more aloof than previously. He was tearing at a pastry with his fingers and glowering at his coffee cup as if it contained arsenic instead of the best coffee Presley ever tasted.“Presley, how did you two meet?” Mina asked suddenly, her big eyes with the dark lashes batting exaggeratedly. “I have to admit you make a striking couple and when you were getting out of the car, I couldn’t help but think how perfect you look together.”Presley considered Cruz’s feelings would be h

Cruz was pacing the hotel room aware he was on the cusp of losing everything.His PR manager was on the phone and her silence was telling.“What did we lose?”“Nothing yet, Cruz. Our team is on it but the paparazzi, which the hotel was doing so well to keep out of the resort managed to get multiple shots of Ms. Brookmore getting into a vehicle with Mr. Bartoli. There are pictures of them getting out of the vehicle to have breakfast together and his hand is on her low back. It looks intimate.”“Fuck,” he mumbled.“We can pass it off as a business breakfast but what kind of business your fiancée, a bestselling author, is doing with a man who runs casinos all over the world as a front for his mob activities is going to take some creativity to spin.”“This is a nightmare.” He knew in his gut it was Bartoli who got the photographer on site. It was to remind him Liborio held all the cards, and he was nothing in the grand scheme of things. Cruz made his billion by investing in medical scienc

“Over my dead body,” Cruz finally spoke as Presley began packing up things in the room. “What are you doing?”“Packing.” She fought the tremor in her voice. She was hurting. All of Cruz’s angry words were under her skin like a million little needles. He thought she was a child. He thought he was the one who needed to come up with an adult plan to save her like she was some damsel in distress who needed a man to rescue her. Didn’t he realize it was a stupid man who got her into this shit?“Why are you packing?”“Can’t have Liborio’s babies from your bed,” she said bluntly.“You think you’re going to go move into his suite?”“I did tell him I was going to have his kids.”“Ladybird, if I have to bring Algernon into it and kidnap you and throw you on a yacht in the middle of the,” his voice trailed off. “That’s what I’ll do. I’m going to get you the fuck out of here.”“Then he kills Odin, he releases the information Odin accused Mom of child abuse which will destroy her career as a child

Presley and Cruz held hands as they were followed at a discreet distance by a security team, both hired by Cruz and Liborio.“I feel like we’re criminals being followed around by cops.” Presley grumbled.“Ignore them. I know it’s hard but ignore them,” Cruz kissed her knuckles. “Remember when we went skiing at Whistler?”She looked at him in surprise. “What?”“When your dad took us all skiing at Whistler. You were in grade seven or eight. Remember?”“I do.”“I was trying to think of all the fun things we did, like a family, and not the pranks and stuff. Your dad always made me feel like I was part of your family. It was partly why I felt so guilty about lusting after you when I saw you in your undies. I considered you a sister and there I was hard as a rock. Anyway,” he shook his head, “I was thinking of Whistler on my run this morning.”“What about it?”“It was fun. We didn’t prank each other once. Odin wasn’t a completely miserable twat because he was on the ski hill and let’s be re

Badgering My Billionaire Bully Damn Odin
Wandering through the casino she now owned, Presley was trying to get a feel for the way people gravitated to the flash and noise of the scene.She couldn’t understand it at all. Perhaps because she’d never felt a desperate need to make ends meet or to find a quick way to make cash, the appeal to throw money into a machine in hopes of a jackpot never appealed to her. There was more than one person sitting at the slot machines who were greasy-haired and reeking of desperation. It reminded her she was better off than most for the entirety of her life. Now, though, she was far wealthier than any of these people at the machines would dream of being even if they hit it right and won a jackpot.She didn’t deserve any of it.She was taking it though. Presley lifted her chin defiantly. If for no other reason than to thumb her nose at the man who thought he’d be able to convince her to be his wife and steal her life from her, she was taking what she knew he never intended to hand over so soon.

“Where are you?” Belkin’s voice was gruff in her ear.“I’m on my way to talk to my editor. I told you. I’d come to you when I was done my meeting.” Presley was as gruff back to Belkin.“I will meet you there. I have an update for you.”“It can’t wait until I meet you at the holding cells in the casino?”“No.”“Good grief,” she muttered when the phone went dead. She looked to her driver who was watching her in the rearview mirror and shrugged. “Do you think I’ll ever get used to dealing with cranky mob bosses?”“You are one of them now, Miss.” Her driver grinned at her.“Fair.” She nodded her agreement and then turned her attention back to looking out the window. She missed being able to walk everywhere and to have anonymity and freedom to come and go as she pleased. What was only a thirty-minute walk from her home to her editor’s main office, was now impossible to navigate on foot because she needed to travel with guards, paparazzi were chasing her since Liborio’s death was announced
Badgering My Billionaire Bully Planning
Sitting at the dining room table in Cruz’s condo overlooking Coal Harbour the next morning, Presley wondered why she was clinging to her teeny, tiny, little apartment so much. The view from here was incredible. In other rooms of the condo, you could see Stanley Park and from the balcony you could see beyond the ferry terminals. It was stunning from a location perspective. Add in the fact it was a four-bedroom condo, tons of wide-open space, warm and inviting and Cruz’s bed was a king-sized bed, and she could probably fit her entire apartment in his bedroom alone, well she was almost dreading going back to her miniscule hole in the wall.She took another bite of her sandwich while Cruz was in his home gym, another perk of his condo despite the building having an entire gym of it’s own, she listened to the clanging of metal. According to Cruz, the shared gym didn’t have weights which were heavy enough for what he usually lifted. The grunting sounds as he began lifting whatever he’d put
Badgering My Billionaire Bully Itchy
“I can’t stop scratching,” Presley muttered as they loaded into the waiting SUV to go home. “I’ve never had lice, but I think maybe I have them now. Did your guys get the shampoo?”“Stop saying lice,” Cruz hissed at her as he scratched the top of his head.“It’s what they are!” She peered at him carefully, “I can’t help but think of how you hugged your assistant while she was crying.”“You cannot be jealous.”“No! I’m not jealous. I mean Ramona kept their heads pretty tight together. Then you hugged the poor girl while she came apart, and rightly so,” she glared at him, “but your heads were close and if one of those things crawled from Ramona to her and it crawled to you, you might have lice.” She paused. “I hope she is okay.”“She is going to be fine. Her husband was meeting her at the clinic and I already arranged for a psychologist to meet her there and to do a debrief with her to make sure she gets some help for what she went through today. I also gave her paid leave and told her
Badgering My Billionaire Bully Hostage Situation
“That might have been the hottest thing I’ve ever witnessed.”She snickered at Cruz’s comment when they were back in the SUV.“Where to next, boss?” Cruz waggled his eyebrows at her and she laughed.“You were supposed to go to work today and you didn’t. You should probably get something done for your own business.”He gave a sigh, “yes. I know but this was fun.” He made a face, “I also am not quite ready to let you leave me.”“What if I hung out in your office? Is there anything happening there which is top-secret or confidential? Can I hang out on the sofa?” She’d been to his office earlier in the week and there was a giant plush suede sofa he confessed to having for naps when he needed a break.“I would love this.”“Can we swing by my place, grab my laptop, and outline book? I’m feeling really inspired after this morning and I want to jot dot some ideas and maybe begin the framework of my next story.”“Definitely.”It didn’t take long before they were back at Cruz’s office and she w
Badgering My Billionaire Bully Mr. Hawley
She was standing in the lobby of the Hawley Telecom building, holding Cruz’s hand feeling like the most powerful bitch on the planet. Truth be told, she might even be her, and the thought sent a shiver of excitement down her spine.Their meeting with Belkin had been long but in the end, he’d told her the four other families, his included, would manage all the illegal activities for her as proxies or she could sell those businesses to them outright and they would split it. She’d decided on the latter because peddling drugs was not anything she wanted part of. Then when she’d had a mini panic attack over suddenly being responsible for several large companies, she was reassured all of the companies had CEO’s at the helm. She was the president of them all and everyone would report to her, but each company was very effectively managed. Cruz and Belkin both promised to guide her through the process while making sure she could still have time for her writing and anything else she wanted to

“I’m so very confused,” Presley rubbed her forehead and with her other hand reached for Cruz. She needed his strength as all of hers seemed to have seeped from her body to pool somewhere under the table. She felt comforted as his large hand engulfed hers completely and then he moved sideways and pressed his lips to his temple.The lawyer spoke, “Miss Brookmore, my name is Atticus Marella. I am the legal advisor for multiple families associated with the Phoenix Initiative.”“Phoenix Initiative?”“Yes,” this time it was Belkin. “When we were coming up with a name of the organization where five families who usually fought one another for territory and profit were teaming up together, we came up with this name. Our goal is each woman we rescue to be like a Phoenix rising from the ashes. Liborio, when drafting our insignia, insisted we use the same shade of auburn in the flames which matched the hair of his sister and mother in tribute to them. I digress of course,” Belkin sighed, “however
Badgering My Billionaire Bully Surprise Visit
Cruz looked at Presley sideways as they sat in the back of an SUV worriedly.“You didn’t have to come.”“It’s me he is threatening.” She rubbed the leather upholstery of the bench seat they were on. “This is nice. Maybe having to be driven everywhere won’t be so awful if I get to sit on buttery leather, have a hot driver and you in the backseat.”He turned his torso to face her pursing his lips in annoyance, “hot driver?”“Cruz look at him,” she whispered mockingly to the man on the other side of the glass partition. “Your security team found me a guy bigger than you! It’s my type.”“You’re not his. He likes men.”“No way.”“You think jacked up guys can’t be gay?”“Yes, they can but not him. He looked at my ass.”“When?”“When I was getting into the car. I saw him checking me out.”He shook his head and frowned, “you’re trying to get me going.”“Am I?” she made wide eyes at him.“Distracting me because of where we are going.”“Well, you’re squeezing your cell phone so tight I’m surpri

Presley looked down at Cruz as her shaking fingers unbuttoned his shirt to push it back off his shoulders. His hazel eyes were clear and focused on her as if memorizing each tiny detail of her features and yet she was mesmerized by the golden flesh she was uncovering. Vacation sunshine gave his skin a sun kissed and burnished glow Her palm ran over his thick pecs, stroking his nipples and cupping the taut sinew of his flesh. His cock twitched under her as she explored the curves of his abdomen and then back up his shoulders and it forced a smile to her face.“What are you grinning like the Cheshire Cat for?” he asked as he wriggled his arm out of the sleeve of his shirt to allow her further exploration.She ground her pelvis against his, “ten seconds of touching you and you’re already getting hard.”“Ladybird, I can get hard thinking of the smile on your face, let alone having you touch me.”She continued letting her hands search as he pulled his shirt from under him and tossed it asi
