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

    Collins.I'm glad I'm back working normal business hours. Felicia is meeting me today for lunch. I promised to show her around and tell her more about my work here.Clara, our front receptionist, an older woman who worked with my dad and watched me and my brothers grow up, buzzes my office phone."Collins, your wife is here to meet you for lunch.""Thanks, Clara. I'll be right down."As I walk into the reception area, I find Felicia chatting easily with Clara."Hey, Felicia. I see you've already met Clara," I give her a quick kiss."Oh, yes. She's been telling me all kinds of childhood stories about you and your brothers.""And you believed her? Everybody knows Clara likes to embellish.""Collins Donovan, you take that back. You and I both know you're the one who put colored dye in the fountain out front when you were ten. It took weeks for the green color to fade.""Oh, well, some of her stories may be accurate."Felicia laughs while Clara just shakes her head as I show Felicia aroun

    Felicia.As I leave for work the next day, I get to my car and realize I forgot the notes I wanted to look over at home. I want to work from home tomorrow, so I need to get my notepad.I take the elevator back to my office, and most of the team has already gone home. When I finally locate my notes and stuff what I need into my bag, I stand up. I turn to walk into the main room of our department. I'm surprised to see my cousin Cristina talking to Dave. There's something about the way she's leaning in and looking into his eyes that is almost like she's interested in him.Cristina casually places her hand on Dave's arm while she talks. I see him look down at her hand with an almost stupid look on his face. Cristina then smiles at him, slowly turns, and leaves the department.Could Dave be unwittingly giving Cristina information about our progress? I lean back against the wall as the truth hits me. Of course, he is!Dammit! How could Dave let Cristina manipulate him like that? First, Tony

    Collins.It's the middle of the week, and my mom has invited Felicia and me over for dinner.My mom gives us a hug before we follow her into the kitchen."Can I help with anything, Bonnie?""No, Felicia, but thank you. I hope you like lasagna.""I know it's Collins's favorite, and I like it, too.""Great. Let's all have a seat. Collins, do you mind bringing in the serving dish? It's hot.""Not at all."When I set down the huge tray of lasagna, I ask, "Where's the garlic bread?""Right, here, Son.""Is it just Felicia and I tonight, no Carson?""I invited Carson, but you know him. He said he was busy. I worry about him. He works so hard. I wish he'd take more time for himself."My mom dishes me up a huge plate of her lasagna. Then, she gives Felicia and herself a smaller portion. I grab three pieces of garlic bread, and I'm set."I made salad, but I knew Collins wouldn't eat any. He never was much of a salad man. None of my boys are. I think they get that from my late husband, Carlton.

    Felicia.I have another meeting scheduled with Ellen."Have you heard anything, Ellen, about our project?""No, Felicia. It's been eerily quiet around here. Dave has been in his office every day, and the rest of the team continues to work on the camera imaging software. They are making great progress, by the way. We're actually ahead of schedule for a change.""That's good. I came in because there's a board meeting scheduled. I appreciate the team's assistance with the data they put together. I know the board will back me if they are shown all the facts and statistics around this new software.""Well, you know I'm behind you. We were all excited about the stats. Does the data we gathered offer enough information?""Yes, that plus the information I gathered. I also hired an impartial outside third party to pull statistical information. So, wish me luck."At three o'clock, I make my way to the boardroom. I look down at my outfit and smile. This is my version of a power suit. I'm wearing

    Collins.Felicia has on her biker babe clothes again. Damn, she looks sexy. The new pants she bought look painted on.I watch her hips sway as she walks past me, then I pull her in for a kiss and caress that same ass."Fuck, I'm getting used to being hard when you're around.""I can see where that might be a problem," she quips."Have you thought about what type of motorcycle you want?""Some. I like the Can-Am Spyder, but nobody else at the club seems to have one."I shrug, "So, who cares? You'll be the first. If that's the bike you want, we should get it for you.""Thanks, but for now, I'll just hold on tight while you drive.""Works for me. I like feeling you behind me— or under me. I like it when you're on top too, or down on your knees—""Collins! Behave. What has you in such a feisty mood tonight?"I pull her into my arms, "Well, I've been working the last three nights, and I haven't had you in my bed.""I've been sleeping in the same bed as you.""You know I wasn't talking abou

    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
