Connor"I'm not embarrassed," she says firmly, but her eyes refuse to look into mine. "Far from it."I can tell she feels the same way, though, because if there is something Evelyn cannot hide, it's her body language. Leaning closer, I place my lips next to her ear."What do you say we forget golf? We can find someplace, you and I, to get things done."She moans softly."What do you say?" I repeat, nipping her earlobe.Evelyn nods. "Uhun."I kiss her ear and run my tongue down the side of her neck. When I feel her completely leaning against me, I retreat."What?" Her eyes fly open. "What—why?""Why what?" I feign ignorance.She looks puzzled, raising her hands and dropping them when she doesn't find the right words. But I keep up my act, watching her get all flustered. Although it's taking all of me to keep from taking her hand and ditching this place, it also pleases me to see that Evelyn wants me as badly as I crave her.My withdrawal is a tiny punishment for her denial."Aren't we

Evelyn"You don't need to compliment me, you know," I say with pride, sitting in front of Connor.After the impressive presentation I just gave, I expect him to break out in applause and say something along the lines of, you're invaluable to this company, but I'm not one to toot my own horn.He shrugs. "I wasn't going to.""What?""You did your job. Do you need me to praise you for doing your job?"Is he being serious? I spent the last three days making sure my work was impeccable, and to make sure my presentation was spot on, perfect. I had to work with three other departments because I needed to make sure there were no flaws in the data logs.And I don't get even a thank you? Stubborn, flightless bird. I should have known his sudden change in behavior was a fluke."Stubborn, flightless bird?" Connor echoes my thoughts out loud. "That is what you called me the other time, right?"Crap. I said that aloud, didn't I? I chew on my bottom lip, thinking of how to cover up for my spill. The

Evelyn"Hi," my chest is heaving as I stand in front of Connor's door at eight pm, holding the leash of my Golden Retriever, Bucky. "I'm sorry to come here at this time, but I need to ask for a favor.""What is it?" He responds in a concerned tone, but when he glances at my dog in uncertainty, I don't know if he's more worried about what could have brought me to his door at this time of the night or the dog."Can you watch Bucky for me? I'll be back to get him in the morning, but I just got a call from my mom's neighbor that she was rushed to the hospital. My dad is out of the country, so I need to go. But I can't leave my dog alone overnight."Connor exhales as he looks at Bucky, who has his tongue out and his tail wagging."I don't—why can't you keep him in your apartment for a few hours? Isn't he trained? I mean, you leave him at home when you go to work, right?"I bite my bottom lip, trying not to panic. "The truth is, I won't be back early. And I am guessing you have never owned

Why would you drive all this way? You could have gotten into an accident! This is why your dad and I wanted you to live with us.""You know I can't do that," I sigh, knowing we were heading down this road. "I need to make it on my own, Mom, and I can't do that if I'm still living with you."Her eyes tell me she's not done with the topic, but she'll let it go for now. I'm okay with that."What did they say is wrong?' I question. "Have you called dad?"My mom nods."Yeah, I called your dad. He's taking the next flight and will be here in the morning. You don't have to worry, Evelyn. The doctor said it was just a heart scare. It's common when you get older and you begin to experience things like palpitations, shortness of breath, and irregular heartbeat. It didn't help that I thought I could get some cleaning done and ended up overworking myself."Relief washes over me, and I blink back a tear or two. I might find my parents overbearing, but they are all I have."Enough about me," my mom

Connor"They bailed on us?""Yup," I respond, trying not to sound too eager as Evelyn shakes her head.It's been a week since we last saw each other, and when she called me last night saying that she was back, I had to physically restrain myself from going downstairs. I would have been there with a good reason—dropping off her dog.Yet I knew I wouldn't have been able to resist her. I'd hug her and kiss her, or something like that. Even now, with the black, thin strap maxi dress she has on, with the silver heels and matching earrings, I want to hurry up and get out of here so I can kiss her...and maybe take that dress off.Ken called when I was back at my apartment and asked if I would ask Evelyn to go on a double date—Mira's request. I wasted no time picking up the phone and fist-bumped the air silently when she agreed.An hour before meeting up at the restaurant—Evelyn had somewhere to be and decided to come on her own—the lovebirds canceled. I couldn't have been happier.She groans

Connor"If you are not going to give me a tour of your apartment, why don't you come up to mine?" I ask as we get on the elevator. "It's because I need your help," I add when she looks at me suspiciously. "I think I need your expertise in decorating."That excuse just popped into my head, but I am glad it did."How much are you going to pay me?" Evelyn demands, and I laugh."Whatever you want."She grins, and it makes my heart flip. "Okay. You have a deal."We say nothing more to each other until I input the code to my door, and we walk in."You want the tour now, or would you like something to eat?" I inquire, walking away. It takes a minute for me to notice that Evelyn isn't following me, and when I turn around, she has the strangest look on her face."It wasn't a mistake.""What do you mean?" I ask, knowing what she's speaking of but needing to hear the words.She says nothing, crossing the space between us to stand before me. "It wasn't a mistake—having sex with you. I have been l

ConnorWe stay there—my arms around Evelyn and her chest heaving—for a while. When she catches her breath sufficiently, she looks at me with a sulky pout."I was supposed to do that to you.""Do what?""You know, make you lose your mind or something like that. You weren't supposed to turn the tables."I laugh and kiss her. "You always make me lose my mind, Evelyn. That is who you are. Even when I'm giving you an orgasm, I'm the one who is getting the best bit because I can see you and feel you."She smacks her lips. "I guess. But I can feel you too."Her hand goes to my crotch, and I groan."Don't you think we should do something about that?" Evelyn suggests.I curse under my breath when she moves her cupped palm up and down, stroking me through my pants. The friction turns out to be delicious and painful at the same time."What do you say?""I was waiting for you," I respond.Evelyn gets to her feet. "I'm done now, so we better get on with it. I might not know everything in your apar

Evelyn"This looks good," Connor says as he flips through the pages of a document I hand him. "You were thorough with it. Thank you, Miss Evelyn."I respond half-assed, even though my chin is propped up on my hand, and I am staring straight at him while his concentration is buried in my report. I want him to look at me, but I don't want to have to ask for it.I also want to ask why he hasn't said anything about what happened three nights ago, given that we both woke up late and I had to race to my apartment with little time to spare before coming into the office. So, we couldn't talk about the night we had together.Since Connor was in meetings all day, we weren't able to meet up throughout the day either, and I didn't see the point of going to his apartment when he didn't invite me."Why won't you say something?" I mutter under my breath.His eyes lift slightly to look at me. "What?"I shake my head after realizing my inner voice wasn't quiet enough. "Nothing.""Are you sure?" he loo

Felicia.The last week has been hectic for Collins. He's having to spend more time at the Donovan Security offices. He left the house before I even got out of bed this morning. Hopefully, we'll be able to see each other tonight as long as I don't get stuck here at the office.I've been working overtime as the deadline for our software release gets closer and closer. We are still ahead of schedule but only slightly. This is a crucial time because if anything major were to go wrong, it could throw us off schedule and delay the release.My team and I have been meeting daily. Going over everything at least twice. Making sure we haven't missed anything.Emotions are high, and right now, Dave is causing a problem."I don't see why I need to give up my office.""Because we need the room. We're trying to finalize the marketing plans and our backers.""I understand why it's needed. I just don't understand why I have to be the one giving up my office.""Ellen, would you mind stepping in here, p

Collins.When your phone rings in the middle of the night, it's hardly ever good news. I wake up and grab my cell phone."Carson?""Collins, we have an emergency. A guard has been shot. He was working a job on the Southbank. There was gunfire. Guy Sanders was taken to the hospital.""Damn. Okay. I'm on my way. Do you know how badly he's injured?""I don't know any more details. I'll meet you there. He's at Baptist."Also, now awakened and hearing half the conversation, Felicia asks, "Collins? Is something wrong?""There was some gunfire at a job. One of our guards has been taken to Baptist Hospital. He was shot. Carson is going to meet me there.""I'll come with you.""You don't have to, Felicia. You can go back to sleep.""No, Collins. I'm coming with you.""Okay, thanks, Felicia."I throw on some jeans and a blue hoodie and shove my feet into a pair of boots.I look around to see if Felicia is ready. She comes out of the bathroom, brushing her hair and then she pulls it into a ponyt

Felicia.I open my eyes and blink sleepily as I notice the soft sunlight as it filters into the room.I keep yawning, and I still feel sleepy because I didn't get much sleep last night. Collins was a wild man, an insatiable lover.I go to move, and my muscles twinge, muscles that I haven't used before. But then, I've never been taken so thoroughly and in so many ways. I shiver as I remember how demanding Collins was.I turn and look at the still-slumbering man in bed behind me. We're both lying naked on the bed. I look around for the covers and finally find them on the floor, with our clothes and most of the pillows.As my eyes dart around the room, I blush to the roots of my hair as I notice the chair askew and the table a few feet to the side of where it used to be.Collins meant what he said, and I have the sore muscles to prove it. Will I even be able to walk?As I turn to slide out of bed, I look around for something to wear. I spot my dress on the floor between the door and the

Collins.I walk over to our table and turn to Hunter and Rebel."We'll be going now. We enjoyed the event and learning about the sponsored charities. Hunter, Felicia and I will be contacting you later about working something out with MAP. Hayford and Donovan Security would like to get more involved.""That's great. Thank you, Collins."Felicia gives Rebel a hug. "I enjoyed meeting you.""As did I. I'm sure we'll see you at other events around town."Felicia turns toward me. "I'm a little confused. Don't we have another half hour before our driver gets here?""Our driver won't be picking us up tonight."I walk us to the front desk."We'd like a room for the night.""Certainly, is a king-size bed acceptable?""Yes, that's fine.""Any bags we can take up for you?""No, thank you."I sign for the room, and I'm given a key card."Room 302. Third floor."We get in the elevator, and I turn and look at Felicia with hungry eyes, but I don't touch her. If I do, we'll be having sex right here in

Felicia.It's the night of the Charity event, and I left work early. The hairstylist swept my hair up but left a few strands to curl and frame my face.I let them do my makeup as well, and my eyelids have a line of iridescent makeup that sparkles above my cat eyeliner. The song from West Side Story keeps playing over and over in my mind. 'I feel pretty, oh, so pretty...'I just hope tonight ends better than that musical.I'm dressed and waiting for Collins. He's running late tonight. There was an accident, and he's stuck in traffic. He said if he's too late, he'll send a car, but I'd rather wait for Collins to go with me."Felicia, I'm home. I'm sorry I'm so late—" Collins stops mid-sentence when he sees me in my dress."So, you like my dress?""Hot damn, do I like your dress? No, I freaking love it. You look gorgeous.""Thanks. I have your tux all set-out.""Shit, yeah, I better hurry."He takes a quick shower, and then I'm helping him with his dress shirt. His bow tie."Damn, you lo

Felicia.It's been over a week, and Collins hasn't acted any differently toward me. Maybe I overreacted. Everything else has been going well.At work, we're still ahead of schedule on the new software. And my uncle appears to be leaving us alone. The closer we get to completing all the testing, the more the excitement in the department builds.There's also a higher level of stress the closer we get to the go-live date in case anything goes wrong. It's like this every time we launch a new software, but it's still hard to get used to.This Friday night, Collins and I will be attending a charity event downtown. I vaguely remember my parents used to attend some of the bigger galas around town.My mother-in-law and Ellen both volunteered to go shopping with me. So, I meet the women here at the Olive Tree Mediterranean Grille and then Bonnie said we could walk to the different shops.When the women walk through the door, I wave them over."Were you able to find a parking spot, okay?""I lef

Collins.I frown as I drive to the office. Something is off with Felicia, and I don't know what it is.She's been acting differently for the last week. I think it started around the time of the cookout. Did someone say something to her that upset her?When I try to ask her what's wrong, she just shrugs and says nothing.Bullshit. Something is wrong. Why won't she confide in me? She always has before.Unless— unless I'm the problem? I mean, she really couldn't turn me down when I offered to marry her. She would have been crazy to turn down a cool five million and the stock shares. Let's not forget about the fucking stock shares. Suddenly, I'm feeling frustrated.Things were going so great. I mean, the sex is off the charts. But lately, when I take her, she's been closing her eyes. Does that mean anything?Hell, if I know. I slam my hand against the steering wheel. Who knows what's on a woman's mind? I sure as shit don't. Women!Then, I stop short. This is Felicia. And well, she's diffe
I Hate you Mr. BILLIONAIRE Chapter 87
Felicia.On the ride back home, my thoughts are so jumbled. I overheard what Collins said to one of the guys at the cookout.I already knew how he felt about kids. One night after we got the backyard fixed up we were sitting out on the deck. We somehow got around to discussing children. Collins shuddered and said he wouldn't know what to do with a kid. He felt he was too immature to raise a child. He didn't think he'd be a good father. He was vehement.So, why did his remarks bother me today? It's not like we're really married. Well, we are, but it's temporary. This marriage will all be over in one year, and then we'll get a divorce.The sex has been so great. I've been sticking to our deal and just enjoying the pleasure we can give each other. In the back of my mind, though, I've allowed myself to believe that this could become a real marriage. How foolish. How naive.I sternly remind myself: this has an expiration date. In one year, it will be over.What guy wouldn't be fine with gr
I Hate you Mr. BILLIONAIRE Chapter 86
Collins.Today, we're having a cookout at my mom's. We never found my dad's smoker, so we ended up buying a new one. Now, we're committed to having quarterly cookouts.Carson and I will man the smoker this afternoon. We started roasting the meat very early this morning. We cheated and hired somebody to watch the smoker for most of the day. The word went out, and all of my family and the Wild Riders were invited to the event.We've invited everyone we know. We had to get the tables out of storage and have them set up to hold all the food and covered dishes people would bring. We're expecting quite a crowd.I pick up Felicia from the duplex, and we head over to the cookout. When we pull up to the house, there are already numerous cars and motorcycles in the driveway and along the strip of land beside it. My parents' house is situated on a huge piece of private property near the river. There is ample parking.Felicia has a large container of potato salad. I explained that we provide the
