Billionaire Alpha Too Involved
DanaThe rest of Saturday night had been spent around the dining room table, eating pasta until our sides hurt, and telling stories until we knew each other better than we might have wanted to. We fell asleep snuggled up on the couch, and after a long kiss at the door on Sunday morning, I headed home. I wanted to get my life back in order and to make sure that I was still capable of breathing without Kendal snuggled up beside me.I missed his warmth the minute I left. It wasn't until I woke up alone on Monday morning in my bed that I realized just how guilty I felt for spending the whole afternoon and evening with him on Saturday and not mentioning anything about Amanda. I just couldn't force myself to share an estimate that had turned out to be wrong. She wasn't dead or the hospital would have called him. I urged him to go up and see her a few more times in the coming week while we snuggled on the coach and he promised that he would, but of course questioned my reasoning for poking h
Billionaire Alpha Another Chance
Dana"Have you guys spoken since he left in a hurry?" Worry clouded my thoughts as I tried to figure out what it was about Parks that had my friend acting like a lunatic stalker. Surely he wasn't that great in bed."No. I told you that he didn't give me his number before he left me hanging.""And he doesn't have your number either."She didn't answer, but pinned me with a hard stare."Okay. Okay. Shit." I lifted my hands in the air. "What if we went up there over Christmas and tried to find him? Maybe it would be better if we visited first and then made the decision to uproot everything for this dude after you see if he's wanting a relationship.""And if he doesn’t?" Tears filled her eyes and my worry crept up another notch. She was close to going off the deep end."Then we'll find another guy who's way better for you, Jackie. You're not yourself at all. You need to get some sleep.""Maybe you're right." She pressed her hands to her face, and I took the opportunity to move up beside h
Billionaire Alpha Not a Puppet
KendalI wasn't sure anything could get my mood down as I walked into the classroom on Monday morning, not even having to meet with Heather later that day. She could push and shove as much as she wanted to, but I had Eliza on my side, and I would soon be meeting with Mark to let him know what was going on. If she made it to him first, I would count my blessings and explain my side of the story. Though sexual harassment cases were rare with a male being the victim, it still happened. I would just start being smarter about my private interactions with Dr. Turner and would tape them on my phone from here on out."Bethany." I stopped at the opening to the large auditorium where I taught."Hey, Dr. Tarrington."I closed the door behind me, and almost told her to call me Kendal, but we both knew better than to be too casual with one another on campus. We could be friends outside of UT, and would be a part of each other's lives for a long time thanks to her being part of Damon's family now,
Billionaire Alpha She's Dead
Kendal"What girl?" I glanced around. Was she on campus? If so, how did she find me and why was she looking for me? What was going on?"The pretty brunette you had pinned to your chest a few minutes ago.""No, baby. That was Damon's girlfriend, Bethany. She's my TA.""I know what I saw." She sniffed. "I'm outside. Come out here please.""Of course. Wait right there." I put the phone in my pocket and moved out into the hall as students started to file into my classroom. The phone buzzed again and I pulled it out as I side-skirted running into a handful of kids and finally got outside."Hey. Where are you?" I stopped and glanced around, unable to find Dana in the mass of people milling about."I'm at the hospital. It's Tinsley, Dr. Tarrington. We need you to come up here now.""Is it Amanda? Is she okay?""Just get someone to bring you up here, Kendal. No rush, okay?""What? Why isn't there a rush? What the hell is going on?" I glanced around as white-hot fear filled up my insides."Did
Billionaire Alpha Two Sides
DanaWatching Kendal drive away with anger all over his handsome face left me broken in two. The schedule clutched in my hand was the reason behind his pissy attitude or was it more than that? Most people in the middle of grief will turn to anything and everything else in hopes of hiding the soul-wrenching reality they're forced to face.Amanda was dead. Kendal's little sister hadn't made it through the night. Her MS finally won the battle and now he was forced to face death with no one by his side. Both of his parents were gone from what I'd read in Amanda's file at the hospital.Tears burned my eyes as he tore out of the parking lot at UT and never looked back. Maybe it was for the best... Sadly enough, it didn't feel that way.I glanced down at the schedule and folded it up slowly as students moved all around me. I'm sure the spectacle of Kendal screaming in my face would be the talk of the campus for a few days, but it was irrelevant. I didn't know many of them, and they didn't kn
Billionaire Alpha Heartbroken
DanaEvery nerve in my body was buzzing by the time I got to the fourth floor of the hospital. Now wasn't the time to try and talk with Kendal about what was going on with us. It was time to support him and hold him if he would let me anywhere near him. Just the thought of seeing him in pain left me panting for air and wanting to bend over in hopes of catching my breath.How someone could cause me to feel so much when we'd just met was a mystery."Dana?" Dr. Lewis' voice brought me from my thoughts.I walked off the elevator and stiffened as the older doctor paused in the hallway."Hi Dr. Lewis." I glanced both ways down the hall, noting that Kendal wasn't in sight."You heard that we lost Amanda Tarrington, right?" He reached out and squeezed my shoulder as a fatherly look moved across his features."Yes. I'm heartbroken over it." I glanced down and took a sharp breath before looking back up. "Is her brother still here?""Yes. Kendal's in her room, though we've moved the body out. Ju
Billionaire Alpha Missing Her
KendalThe last few days had been nothing but a blur. A thick numbness had settled over the top of me, and at times I was grateful for it. Between losing Mandy and having to testify in Jake's court case from his stabbing, I was spent. The school was good enough to give me a few days to myself, or really the whole fucking semester if I wanted it. My answer had been short and sweet. Hell no. There was no way I was sitting around in my misery for three months under the guise of trying to heal.There was no such thing as healing from death. It lightened its sting over time, but the bastard stood beside the living, ready to remind them at each turn in the bend of what, or rather who, they'd lost.If it hadn't been for Damon, I'd probably have missed every meal between Mandy's passing and the funeral. I was grateful for his friendship before my sister passed, but ever indebted to him after it. I wouldn't have made it without him."I miss you," I whispered softly as I stood at the front of t
Billionaire Alpha Rules Are Rules
Kendal"Thank you," I mumbled and glanced over toward Dana as we drove back toward my place. She'd only been there twice, and I was giving shitty instructions from dipping in and out of my thoughts."For what?" She reached over and took my hand in hers. The softness of her skin and the warmth of her touch thawed me a little."For sitting with me at the funeral, and loving on me at the graveside service." I lifted her hand to my mouth and kissed her fingers softly. "I don't deserve your kindness.""Of course you do." She pulled into the neighborhood where I'd purchased my house a few years back. "Are you up for telling me what happened at UT?""What happened with what?" I pulled my hand from hers and unbuckled as she parked in front of my place."You were so mad at me over the class schedule." She reached for her door handle. "Why?""Oh. That." I opened my door and walked to the front of the car. "The University has strict policies against a professor dating a student or another profes
