Felicia.

Collins and I both sit down at the kitchen counter, and we watch as his mother takes cookies right off a cookie sheet and onto a plate. She sets the plate between us.

Collins immediately grabs one up and stuffs it in his mouth.

"Be careful, they're still hot," Bonnie warns him.

"Yep, I love 'em when they're hot," he states around a mouthful of gooey cookie.

Bonnie just shakes her head at her son, goes to the fridge, and gets out some milk and tea.

"Milk or tea?"

"Iced tea, please."

Collins doesn't answer, so I guess he knows she was only asking me.

His mother pours a large glass of milk for Collins and then pours a glass of tea for me and herself. She takes a few sips and then talks to us while she continues to move cookies from the sheets onto a cooling rack.

I glance at Collins with a soft smile because right now, this big, tough guy reminds me of a little boy sitting there drinking a glass of milk and eating cookies that his mother fixed just for him.

    Collins. Felicia and I arrive at precisely three o'clock at her attorney's office. His administrative assistant gives us a sympathetic smile and states. "If you'll have a seat, I'll let them know you're here." Felicia turns to me with a frown, "Them? Mr. Jenkins is my attorney. I'm not expecting anyone else." The door opens, and Mr. Jenkins walks in. He's an older man with gray hair but a kind smile. He looks slightly agitated as he approaches us. "Felicia," he turns to me to shake my hand, "Mr. Donovan, thank you both for coming. We received the digital copy of your marriage certificate this morning. I'll have my admin take a copy before you leave." He frowns as he explains, "Unfortunately, we have a few unexpected visitors who wish to learn more about your new husband." I watch as Felicia's eyes widen in apprehension. She gives me a quick searching glance. I just give her a brief, confident nod. "If you'll both follow me, I'll try to keep this as short as possible, an

    Felicia. It's Friday, my birthday, and Collins insisted that we go out. Tomorrow, we're invited to his mother's to meet some of his family and his older brother, Carson. "So, where are you taking me?" I ask Collins. "It's a surprise." I don't say anything more because if there's one thing I know about Collins Alfred Donovan, it is that he loves to surprise people. Namely me. Like when he bought the grill, he never told me. He just came home with it and started setting it up. We ended up slowly turning the entire backyard into an entertainment oasis over the last two years. He told me to wear jeans and tennis shoes tonight, which I thought was weird if he was taking me out for a fancy dinner. Collins pulls into a bowling alley and parks the truck. I look over at him to see if he's just kidding. "Happy Birthday! We have a lane reserved for us all night." "Collins, I haven't been bowling in a long time." "You'll enjoy it." He comes around and opens the door for me. Is

    Collins. I'm driving us back from the sunset balloon ride. I scored! Felicia loved it—bonus points for Donovan. I look over at Felicia, but she seems lost in thought. She still has a dreamy look in her eyes. She had the same look when she was watching the sunset in my arms. Damn, it felt good to hold her in my arms. She's wearing some type of black lace stretchy top that shows off her tanned skin. Between her snug top and those painted-on jeans, I was beginning to sweat. What would she say if she knew I had X-rated thoughts about her? We've been married for seven days, and Felicia sneaks back to her apartment every night to sleep in her own bed. I warned her she could get caught, but she insisted. We ought to get a bigger place, but I love the backyard improvements we made. It would be hard to find a house with such a nice entertainment area. Hard, but not impossible. I make a mental note to check out some houses for sale in our neighborhood. Just watching her bowl was maki

    Felicia.I lift my heavy eyes to his eyes; then I press myself more firmly against his hard body."I don't want to stop, Collins.""Good," he buries his face in the space between my neck and shoulder, then continues to nibble down my shoulder. In a gruff voice, he states, "I'm going to fuck you, Felicia." I shiver at the promise in his words.He suddenly reaches down and picks me up as if I weigh nothing at all, and I wrap my legs around his waist. He carries me into his bedroom. Then, when he loosens his hold, I slide down his front. He seems to revel in my softness as my curves mold to his hard contours.When he finally lets me go, I sway on my feet for just a moment.My hands tremble as I unbutton his shirt, and then I slide my hands softly over his chiseled chest and shoulders. I push his shirt off of him so I can trail my fingertips over his black tribal tattoo that runs over his shoulder and down his arm. I make my way back down his hard chest and flat stomach. I see he has anot

    Collins.My mom opens the door and gives both Felicia and me a hug. She ushers us into the living room, where some of the family members are already seated. They stand to give Felicia a hug or a handshake."Everyone, this is Felicia, Collins's wife," I can tell Felicia's head is spinning as she meets numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. It looks like our entire extended family is here.When Carson enters the living room, I rescue Felicia away from my Great Uncle Harvey, who will continue to talk as long as anyone will listen. Felicia's too nice to make up an excuse and walk away as everyone else does."Felicia, this is my oldest brother, Carson Donovan.""Nice to meet you.""Welcome to the family, Felicia. I've heard a lot about you. The way Collins talks about you, I knew you were more than just a friend."I watch as a pretty blush covers Felicia's cheeks."Okay, everyone, dinner is ready. We follow my mother into the dining room. The table is huge, as my mother insisted that it acco

    Collins.Collins has been working nights for the past few days. He goes in around midnight and doesn't get home until eight o'clock the next morning.It's only me in the bed, alone. It's amazing how quickly I've become used to having Collins in bed with me. Not just the great sex. I also miss his warm body and snuggling up against him during the night. Waking up in his strong arms.I sigh as I think about the last time we had sex. I woke him up by tracing his tattoos with my lips. I shiver as I remember the intense look in his blue eyes. The man just has to look at me to turn me on, so I'm glad I can make him feel that same level of desire.I blink as I come out of my sensual daydream. It's around eight-thirty now. I was going to work from home this morning, hoping to spend more time with Collins, but he's running late.My cell phone starts to ring."Felicia? Hi, it's Ellen. Listen, I wanted to know if you could stop by the office today. We've found a problem with the new software.""

    Collins.It's the weekend, and I don't have to work tonight. My brother Carson finally agreed to meet me and our uncle at the Wild Riders club tonight. I forgot to let Felicia know as I've been working nights, so I shoot her a last-minute text as I leave the offices of Donovan Security.I glance down at Felicia's answering text. "I'll try to look like I belong in a biker club. Where can I buy biker babe outfits?" With a couple of cute emojis.I smile in anticipation. I wonder how she thinks a biker babe would dress?After I get home and take a hot shower, I get dressed in jeans and a blue T-shirt and throw on my Harley leather jacket. I pull on some black biker boots and then check the time.Felicia said she would get ready in her apartment. She's supposed to meet me here in the next fifteen minutes. I saw her car outside when I pulled up, so she should be here soon. That should get us to the club right on time.I hear the door open and I turn to greet Felicia."Holy shit, you look ho

    Felicia.I look around at the circle of motorcycles and people. We're all here to take our Basic Rider Course (BRC). We have to take and pass the BRC before we can legally ride a motorcycle. Once we pass the course, we can then have the motorcycle endorsement added to our driver's license.We're in a huge parking lot with orange cones placed strategically. I look at the others who have signed up for this class. You can pick out the newbies like me, and then there are some younger people who look like they are already familiar with motorcycles.How in the world did I allow Collins to talk me into this? I would much rather be on the back of his bike, holding on tightly to him.Then I remembered he didn't play fair. He caught me at a vulnerable moment. I told him I didn't want a motorcycle and preferred riding behind him. He said taking this course would teach me how to ride safely behind him. It sounded logical at the time. He also had a point that if something happened, he'd feel bette

    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

    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
