Hacker for the Billionaire Tech Daddy Chapter 17: Dinner Again
Alex strolled into the kitchen from the garage. He'd driven to work this morning, leaving his driver home. He wasn't sure why, but he'd been in the mood to drive himself. A lot was going on and maybe he'd needed time to think. Driving helped him do that. The scent of meat cooking hit him as he hung his keys on their hook. His mouth watered and he wondered what had possessed his cook to make steak today. When he entered the kitchen fully, he realized that once again, Amelia had let the cook go home early. He'd guess Amelia had been restless. As if it were contagious from him. He'd been feeling unsettled for days. The addition of Amelia to his house hadn't precipitated it, but her presence had added to it. He was going to be a father again and he was going to be just as attentive to this one as he had been to Isabel. Could he see himself doing midnight feedings at his age? He wasn't so sure, but he and Amelia could work that out.He'd thought that as if they had a future together. We

Amelia had yet to check out Isabel's lead, but she had other ideas. One of her clients was located at the edge of the city. She could get to it easily and maybe if she went there in person, they'd pay her. The office was in a small town in a suburb and she parked in a lot at one end of the shopping district. The customer hadn't been a large account, but if she could put some money in savings she'd feel better. The office was above an Irish pub and the noise of the bar was surprising for this early in the day. The steps weren't rickety, but they spoke of age and had a personality to them. She knocked at the top of the steps and someone murmured for her to come in. The office wasn't as large as she'd expected it to be, and now she understood why the person hadn't paid. If this was their operation, she had no idea why they'd hired her to hack into the system. This couldn't be the main office, but it was the only address she had. "I'm looking for James Forest.""You've found him.""I'

"You don't think I handled it well," Amelia said. Alex knew he stepped in it. He had no right to judge her or her tactics. She was in her twenties and looked at life differently. She didn't have the benefit of experience, nor did she have a phalanx of lawyers behind her. She only had her stubbornness. That resulted in an hour in a jail cell. No convictions, but he had paid a fine for her. "I'm sorry, Amelia. It isn't my place to say anything.""It is your place. You took time out of your day to rescue me."Rescue. That was a loaded word. He hadn't ever planned on rescuing anybody, but if there was anyone in need of it, Amelia was it. She was pregnant. She had very little money and if he hadn't taken her in, she would be homeless. What he also knew was that she never would have asked for his help if she wasn't in jail. That had been the precipice for her to ask for help. She wouldn't again. It was up to him to offer or at least do it without her knowing it. He didn't like that idea,

"Did the mail come?"Amelia checked for the mail every day even though Benedict brought her anything addressed to her.Cook shook her head as she stared at a shelf in the kitchen. Today Amelia was restless because she'd started to check out Isabel's lead and it looked promising. Benedict was doing whatever butlers did when their employer wasn't around. She couldn't find him and he hadn't walked down for the mail yet. So she left out the front door and traveled the long driveway to the mailbox. She pulled out the stack of envelopes and carried them to the desk in the kitchen. Cook was hunched over a cookbook. "Do you like lamb, love?""I've never had lamb," Amelia said.She'd grown up in a house that ate chicken. Only the cheap meats were amiable and her mother had perfected many ways to make them. The steak had been for celebrating. "Never had lamb?""No, sorry. We ate a lot of chicken in my house growing up. It was cheap."Cook nodded and once again Amelia wondered what the woman's
Hacker for the Billionaire Tech Daddy Chapter 21: Alex Makes a Move
Alex came home from work with a problem and a solution. He found Amelia in her office, running her hands through her hair. He leaned on the door frame and watched her while she muttered and shook her head."I shouldn't have trusted her. This is insane.""What's wrong?" Alex asked.Amelia jumped and turned to him. "Bad lead from someone.""Oh?"She rose and paced the room for a moment as if she was choosing her words carefully. "I'm just a little frustrated. It's nothing I can handle."He crossed his arms, amused by her in this state. She was angry and trying not to be. It was as if every one of her nerve endings was on fire and she had to pretend they weren't. "Tell me about it.""You don't want to know.""At least a little."She flopped back into her office chair. The hum of the computer filled the room as he waited for her to speak. The system she had looked as if it could launch the Shuttle. She had two large screens one of them a television. He couldn't imagine working in front of
Hacker for the Billionaire Tech Daddy Chapter 22: The Morning After
Just like the first time that Alex slept with Amelia, he awakened alone. This time relief wasn't the first thing he felt. He missed her. He'd never slept with her in his bed until last night, and it was as if she'd always been there. He sighed and rubbed a hand down his face. He hadn't expected them to fall into bed after he'd kissed Amelia, but it had seemed like the logical next step. She hadn't resisted. He'd given her every chance to opt out, but she had been as eager as he was.This morning they'd have to face each other. He also had every intention of bringing her to work today to see his cybersecurity department. At the very least, as a hacker, she could show them any weakness his company had. Maybe she'd even ferret out the actual hacker. But first, they had to navigate breakfast. And Isabel, assuming his daughter was home. She would pick up on any tension between them.Alex showered and put on work clothes. He would choose a tie later. When he reached the kitchen, Amelia w
Hacker for the Billionaire Tech Daddy Chapter 23: Amelia Goes to Work
Amelia rode in the car with Alex. The driver took them through the streets to Hillen Industries. "You won't regret this. I promise," Alex said.She wasn't nearly as sure as he was. She'd never worked for a corporation because she hadn't found one whose culture she could stand. She liked working alone and wasn't interested in a cube farm. The place would be noisy and everyone would be up in her business. But Alex had given her puppy dog eyes and she couldn't resist. Who knew he would be so charming? She thought back to their night together. They could do this. Keep it light, and she figured he'd be done with her when the baby came. What man his age would want a baby around? Amelia was sure she could guard her heart until the baby came. She had no intention of falling in love with Alex. "I hope not, but I'm not so good in the corporate world.""It's not nearly as stuffy as you think it is. Look at me. I'm not your average CEO."She eyed him with his gray suit, white shirt, and conse
Hacker for the Billionaire Tech Daddy Chapter 24: Amelia Meets the Department
"His biggest mistake?" Amelia asked then realized she shouldn't have. She put up a hand. "None of my business."Henrik studied her for a moment. "I think it is, but it's probably none of my business."Alex led Tory out of the department. When she looked back at Henrik, he was still looking at her. "I hope I wasn't sprung on you."Henrik smiled and she could see his resemblance to Alex. "Not at all. I approached Alex yesterday about our hacker. I suggested someone from the outside. I didn't realize he would get someone this quickly. I would have been more ready for you."Amelia stifled a smile. Alex had found her in his bed, but that was none of Henrik's business. "I was available on short notice.""Good. We're glad to have you.""I haven't agreed to the job," Amelia said. "Then it's my job to make sure you do. The sooner we get rid of this hacker, the better. We have the game launch and we all want things to go smoothly."Amelia glanced at the door where Tory had stood then followed H
