Billionaire Alpha More Than Friends
EricaSunlight filtered into the room and pulled me from a restful sleep. I turned to reach for Matt and found him gone and his side of the bed cold. He'd been gone for a while.Panic stabbed my insides as I jolted up."Matt?" I checked the clock and groaned. Getting up before six on a Sunday morning was a travesty I tried to avoid. It was one of the only days I let myself sleep in.After pulling a robe over my shoulders, I walked down the hallway and tied the long silky belt to hold it together, noting that he was out on the patio or gone. I checked the patio and walked the short distance to the kitchen to find him gone. My heart dropped."He ran," I whispered and crossed my arms over my chest.I had two choices. I could fall apart and deem myself unworthy of his attention, or I could swallow my emotions and pretend like a great night of sex was all I was after anyway.I chose the latter of the two, though the tears in my eyes would call me a liar. A soft sigh left me as I walked bac
Billionaire Alpha He's Back
Erica"Yep. I'll call you later." I hung up the phone and tossed it back on the bed. Matt's portfolio sat on the floor beside the suitcase, and I couldn't help but pick it up and carry it into the living room. I wanted to take my time and really take in all that he'd put together. Only the smaller pieces would have fit in the hard plastic contraption he had them in, but anything done by him interested me.I dropped down to the floor in the living room and unzipped the container, being careful as I pulled out a good handful of paintings and transferred them to the coffee table. I moved through them slowly, each picture tugging at a different part of my heart. To say I was fearful over having him paint me would have been an understatement.The painting of Damon that lay before me on the table stole my breath. I'd seen it before, but knowing the story behind it and actually having the time to study it filled me with the horror of what Damon must have felt that day. His whole world came t
Billionaire Alpha Fishmonger
Matt"So this yoga thing... it's not the one where I have to wear skin tight clothes and bend in half a million times, right?" I glanced over at Erica as we walked toward the harbor. The sound of people laughing and having a good time filled the air and helped to loosen some of the tension building in my chest.Keep it light and playful. Just be yourself. She laughed and glanced over at me. "You can wear anything you want to wear. It's hot yoga, which means it's super humid in there, but just drink tons of water and try hard not to piss yourself.""Very funny." I turned my attention back to the water ahead, though pulling my eyes away from the beautiful woman beside me was difficult. Her long blue dress was feminine and made her look like a princess. I was starting to enjoy all the various parts of her personality, though the aggressive, needy girl in bed last night was certainly my favorite."What kind of fish are we looking for today? You like salmon or tuna?""Both are great. Let'
Billionaire Alpha Kinky
MattShe laughed. "Right, cause that's me.""It's the ‘you’ I see." I licked at my lips and pulled one of my favorite sketching pencils from the pack. "We can take breaks for sure. I just need a couple of hours to get the raw sketch down.""And do you want me in the sports bra or nude?""You can actually wear what you have on for now because I'll be working on your face first." I grumbled softly to myself. "I should take my man card for not saying nude."She laughed again and the sound of it caused my heart to flutter. "All right. Take your pictures before you forget. I'll stay in the dress and change when you want me to.""Awesome." I set the pencil and pad down and got up. "Pose for me and let me put you in the perfect position.""Kinky." She put her back to me and turned a little, giving me a smoldering look. "This good?""Fucking hot for sure." I moved up behind her and repositioned her shoulders a little. "You look like a goddess.""You're just being sweet.""Nope. Just telling i
Billionaire Alpha Meeting Lanie
Erica"Matt, this is my best friend Lanie. Lanie, this is Matt." I moved back as Matt and Lanie shook hands."I would say that Erica's told me so much about you, but she's rather private about everything." Lanie glanced over at me and wagged her eyebrows. "He's cute.""He's right here." I shook my head and moved to open the door to the yoga facility. "You brought your water, right?"Matt nodded. "Yep. I brought yours too. You left it sitting in the kitchen.""Oh yeah. Jeez." I walked in and moved to the back of the room as Matt moved up on my left and Lanie took her place on my right. The afternoon had been relaxing and yet incredibly titillating thanks to Matt getting up every few minutes to put his hands on me while I stood half naked in my living room, posing for him. I had to quickly get over the fear that he would find some part of me less than attractive. It was easy to do seeing that he spoke affirmation continuously."You ready for this?" Lanie leaned out and gave Matt a silly
Billionaire Alpha Impressive
Erica"You sore already?" I moved up behind Matt as he stood at the stove, working on dinner later that night."Yeah. Damn, that was a serious workout, Erica. How often do you girls do that?"I reached up and pressed my fingers into his shoulders, massaging him as he groaned in delight."Every Sunday night. I love it. I feel like I got a detox and a workout.""No wonder you look so damn good. That was far more intense than I thought it would be." He reached up and gripped my hands but kept his back to me. "I'm gonna pass out if you keep that up.""Then I can do it later for you.""Sounds good. Go take a load off. Dinner is almost done." He released me and went back to cooking as I walked into the living room. I hadn't checked my e-mails for the last few days, which wasn't me at all. It was funny how quickly my desire to be needed by the office dissipated when I had something else to focus on.I sat down at the small desk on the far end of my living room and pulled up my laptop, workin
Billionaire Alpha My Future
MattI knew she wanted to talk about us, but I just couldn't. I wasn't ready to talk about anything regarding my future. I needed some time to myself to really think through things. I couldn't let a passionate weekend change the trajectory of my future without me having a say in it.She worked on her computer and I flipped through the pictures of her on my phone, sharpening the image of her in my head until I finally had down exactly what I wanted to see on the canvas. The fax came in from Jonathan and she reviewed the agreement while I went out on the patio to start working on the sketch. We would be perfect for each other, but something was holding me back.I worked on the sketch until early the next morning and walked back into the condo sore as hell, but thrilled with what I'd put together so far. It was going to be my most stunning piece yet.After putting it in my portfolio and drinking a large glass of milk, I stood in the hall and let indecision pull me from walking into the d
Billionaire Alpha Weak and Needy
Matt"So? How was it?" Bethany worked on a ham sandwich in the kitchen at my father's house as I leaned against the counter beside her and watched."It was great. Erica was a load of fun, and Seattle is insanely beautiful.""And?""And I signed the contract with Jonathan after Erica looked it over. We'll be doing the showing in November, I think. I get a few extra tickets to it, and I'd love for you to be there with me.""You know I will." She picked up the two halves of the sandwich and offered me one of them. "What about you and her, Matt? You're being so fucking cryptic.""I know." I took a big bite and shrugged before turning and walking to the backyard. The flight home had been miserable because I couldn't stop working through a million ways to see her again. Like that night."So stop acting like Damon and give me my brother back, please." She moved up behind me and walked out to join me on the patio. It was still a little warm for what most people would consider fall weather, bu
