Marry Me For Money Not Holding Back
Terran“I have no idea. He was the younger brother. Those two had a strange relationship. Deep down, I think Lance was jealous of my dad. He was jealous of my dad’s life. When my mom died, Lance showed up to help my dad out. That’s when things really got ugly. I don’t think Lance had any children of his own. I remember sitting down to dinner, just the three of us, and Lance would just have this look of pure anger on his face. He hated that my dad and I were on good terms, even back then.”She was shaking her head. “I’m sorry. That guy sounds like trouble, and it’s probably best he isn’t in your life. That kind of negativity isn’t good for anyone.”“You’re right. I’ve never looked for him. I had a lawyer try to contact him when my father died, but Lance was off the grid. I’ll admit I didn’t try too hard. If he cared, he would have shown up. My dad was a prominent man. His death wasn’t exactly a secret.” I thought back to the many, many phone calls and cards I received in the weeks foll
Marry Me For Money Not Ready for You
HaileyNervous energy was humming through my body as he led me across the thick white carpet in my bedroom.“We’ll take it slow,” he whispered as we stopped next to the bed.I nodded my head, almost afraid of going too slow. I didn’t want to back out. I wanted this with him.He leaned down and kissed me sensually and passionately as his hands moved to the back of my dress. I felt the zipper going down and nearly jumped away. He deepened the kiss and quieted the nerves, replacing them with passion.I felt the dress open in the back, a cool breeze washing over me. His hands moved to my shoulders, pushing the dress down my body, revealing the sexy lingerie I had put on with the anticipation of this happening.“Holy shit, Hailey,” he breathed, taking a step back to look at me.I was used to posing in similar outfits and not a bit ashamed of what he was seeing. I suddenly felt emboldened. This was my comfort zone. I reached up and unpinned my hair, letting the curls fall loose around my ba
Marry Me For Money Rock My World
HaileyI reached between us, finding the erection that had been pressed against my hip, and felt the outline. He quickly pulled off his underwear. The feel of his cock in my hand made me nervous. It was definitely bigger than two fingers. I realized he could be too big for me. He was a large man in general.“I don’t know,” I mumbled.He rolled to his back, and I heard crinkling. I propped up on my elbows, my eyes bulging when I saw his erection jutting upward as he rolled a condom on.When his eyes met mine, he likely saw the fear.“It’s going to be okay. If you don’t want to, we can stop now.”I hesitated. I wanted him so badly. “No, I want to,” I assured him.He gently pushed me down, crawled over the top of me, and kissed me with such fierce passion I no longer had to doubt anything. His hand reached down, pulling my leg open before guiding the head of his cock to my opening.Every muscle clenched. I squeezed my eyes closed, preparing to feel pain.“Hailey, look at me,” he ordered.
Marry Me For Money The Next Morning
TerranThe feel of a warm body pressed against me had me smiling before I even opened my eyes. I still couldn’t believe her little secret. In the back of my mind, I had feared she was playing a game with me, but once I slid inside her tight sheath, I knew she had been telling the truth. I had been her first, her only. I was the only man to know her so intimately. It had seemed too good to be true. How had I found a woman like her and been lucky enough to take her to bed?Hailey was sound asleep beside me. I didn’t think she had moved once throughout the night. I took a great deal of satisfaction in knowing I had done that to her. I had given her the first real orgasm. Thinking back to my body’s own response had me growing hard again. I had thought I had experienced some really great sex in my lifetime, but being with her took it to a whole new level of amazing. At one point, I had feared I would pass out with her body clamped down on me.I looked down at the mop of blond curls spread
Marry Me For Money Is This the Last Time?
TerranI sat down at the breakfast bar that divided the kitchen from the dining room and watched her cook, sipping the coffee she had made for me.“Do you always cook for yourself?” I asked, wanting to know a bit more about how much she relied on other people.She laughed. “As opposed to?”“Do you have a chef?”“No! It’s just me, and I like to cook. I’ll admit, I do have a housekeeper though. She keeps my life running smoothly. I used to have a personal assistant, but my life isn’t nearly as busy now. When I need her to, my housekeeper will have her cousin take care of some of my errands for me for a little extra.”I nodded my head. “Sometimes, you need a helping hand. It’s understandable.”“You?” she asked.“I have a cook and a housekeeper,” I admitted.“You seem ashamed. Why?”“I’m not ashamed, but it does make me feel like maybe I should try a little harder.”She laughed. “Why? I’m sure you can afford it. I like coming home to a clean house, and usually, I really don’t have the tim
Marry Me For Money Telling Mandy
HaileyI quickly showered and dressed in a pair of capris and a comfortable pair of walking shoes before heading out for my day with the kids. I had been looking forward to this day for weeks. I had made sure my schedule was clear so I could go along. I knew Mandy needed all the help she could get, and this was one small way I could make a difference.I felt different as I walked into the orphanage, as if I had gone through some ritual that made me a real woman. Everything looked brighter, and I could feel a little extra bounce in my step. I went through the usual greetings before heading down the hall to Mandy’s tiny office. I knocked once and waited.“Come in,” she called out.I walked inside and was relieved to see she was alone. I closed the door behind me and took a seat on the small couch against the wall while she tapped away on the keyboard of her laptop.“You’re early. The field trip isn’t for another hour.”I smiled. “I know. I wanted to talk, catch up with you.”She nodded
Marry Me For Money The Money Thing
Hailey“I dodged the question. I didn’t know what to say. It was out of the blue. I mean, I was standing there making eggs. Why would that even cross his mind in that moment?”“What were you doing before that?”I shrugged. “I was sleeping. He was in my living room when I got up, looking at some of the paintings.”She nodded her head. “Are you sure he’s wealthy? Maybe he thinks you have more money than he does and feels emasculated by it.”I scoffed. “Why would that matter?”“Because maybe money is important to him. Maybe you should ask him if he would be with you if you were broke.”I didn’t like the way that made me feel at all. “I don’t like that,” I pouted.“Maybe you need to get to know Mr. Perfect a little better,” she said softly.“I like him for him, not because he has money. I don’t think I’ve ever given the idea I’m pretentious or anything like that—have I?”She furrowed her eyebrows. “I doubt it. You’ve always been very low-key. You’ve never flaunted your wealth, but you’ve
Marry Me For Money I Thought She Was Different
TerranI had struggled to get Hailey and her lack of an answer out of my mind all day. I kept replaying how she had reacted. She expertly dodged the question without blinking an eye. That was my first clue something was up. The second clue was the way she had managed to keep me out of her house for so long. I wondered if those expensive trinkets I had seen were things she had bought for herself or gifts from other men, hoping to be the lucky one to get her into bed.It was all confusing and hard to comprehend. I didn’t want to think the worst of her. I wanted to take another shot at having that conversation, and maybe, depending on her response, I would bring up the issue of my dad’s will.“Mr. Maddox?” Lena’s voice floated through the office.I pushed the button on the intercom. “Yes?”“Your four o’clock just canceled. I have nothing else on your calendar for the day.”That didn’t happen often. I smiled and pushed the button down again. “Lena?”“Yes, Mr. Maddox?”“Are you saying we’r

Marry Me For Money Epilogue Part 2
HaileyI laughed nervously. “A whirlwind, really. I was doing the modeling thing one day, and the next, I got the call I had landed this part. I am so grateful to my husband for putting me in touch with Gabriel, my agent. It was like everything fell into place at the exact right time.”“What is this foundation I’ve heard you are working with?” she asked from the preselected questions Gabriel had given her.I smiled. “It’s a foundation to help those kids who tend to fall through the cracks in the foster care system. So many kids are on the streets today because there is a shortage of quality foster homes that are capable of dealing with some of the issues kids are facing.”She smiled and nodded her head. “You were never in the system?”I shook my head. “No. My mother raised me by herself, working two jobs to keep a roof over our heads. It wasn’t easy. I hated how much she struggled, but she taught me that life isn’t about how much you have or what your zip code is. She taught me love i
Marry Me For Money Epilogue Part 1
HaileyOne Year LaterI was more than a little nervous as I sat in the chair assigned to us in the second row. Terran put his hand on my knee and squeezed. I looked at him and smiled. When Gabriel had called to tell me I had been nominated for best actress in a feature film, I had nearly passed out. Our film had barely met the deadline to be nominated for anything.“You look absolutely stunning,” Terran said, staring at me with eyes full of love.“Thank you,” I said, smoothing down the long fitted black gown I was wearing. Terran had bought me a new diamond necklace to go with the dress. My hair was piled on my head in a fancy updo, leaving my neck exposed and the necklace fully visible. I loved telling everyone on the red carpet that asked that my husband had given it to me as a gift for my nomination. I had made more than one of the female reporters green with envy.“You’ve got this,” Terran whispered in my ear.“I’m freaking out,” I gushed, my finger twirling the wedding ring on my
Marry Me For Money So Good
HaileyI had my legs spread wide, his knees clamping down on my bent knee when I moved to close my legs, hoping to rub them hard enough together to get the relief I was absolutely desperate to have. His hand slowly moved over my stomach, stopping to rest on my pubic bone, inches away from where I needed him to be.I whimpered in frustration.“Shh, I’m here,” he whispered.I felt a tear slip down my cheek. I loved him so much. He had my body taut as a bow by simply loving me and worshiping my body. When his index finger slid down my center, spreading my pussy lips, I cried out in earnest. It was the lightest touch over my clit that sent me over the edge. My body arched off the bed as a violent, earth-shattering climax tumbled me into a place with a million shooting stars overhead. I felt as if I had been electrocuted, every muscle in my body tensing as his finger slid inside me.He held me while I moaned and spasmed against him. When my body finally spiraled downward, he climbed on top
Marry Me For Money Shower
HaileyI was happier than I had ever been in my life, riding a high that just seemed to be getting better and better.“I’m going to jump in the shower,” I told him, heading toward his bedroom.It had been a long, busy day, and I was ready to unwind with the love of my life and a good bottle of wine. But first, I wanted to feel clean. I stripped off my jeans before turning on the hot water of his magnificent shower that was big enough to hold a small party in. The jets on the sides and the rainfall shower head made it a very enjoyable experience to shower in his bathroom. I thought about the house we had just visited and regretted not checking out the shower situation closer. I had been so overwhelmed by everything else, the shower slipped my mind.I stripped out of my clothes and stepped under the hot water, letting it cascade over my body. Suddenly, the room was filled with beautiful jazz music. I grinned, knowing that had been Terran. A few seconds later, I felt a cool blast of air
Marry Me For Money Heartache
Terran“It’s okay. If I had been honest from the start, I could have saved us a lot of heartache. It was never about the money for me. I wanted you, and I wanted to keep the company intact, even if that meant I had to step away from it.”She nodded her head, fresh tears welling in her eyes. “I’m sorry. I should have believed you. I’m so glad you came back and made me listen. I love you.”“I love you, and I would have walked through fire to get you back.”“I’m so glad you did.”“Thank you for showing me this. You’ve really opened my eyes. I think we can do a lot more good together. I want to do more of this.”She was smiling. “Good, because I plan on giving a large chunk of my salary for the movie to charity. I think we should decide where it goes together.”“What about here?” I asked.She burst into laughter. “I think that check you gave them is going to go a long way. There are plenty of other charities and organizations that are desperate for funding.”“Maybe we could start a founda
Marry Me For Money Generous Donation
TerranI took her hand in mine as we walked into the bank. I had her sit on one of the chairs in the center of the lobby while I spoke with one of the people sitting at an open desk. I rejoined Hailey, who was nervously looking around the huge bank with big black columns supporting the ridiculously high ceiling.“What are we doing here?” she asked.I smiled. “You’ll find out soon enough.”It wasn’t long before a man wearing an expensive suit was striding across the marble floor toward where we were sitting.“Mr. Maddox, it’s good to see you. I’m Con Steven, the manager here. I understand you have some business you need to take care of?”I stood and shook his hand. “I do. This is my fiancée Hailey Hollis.”He shook Hailey’s hand and then led the way to his office. We sat down in the chairs opposite his desk. He tapped on his keyboard, pulling up my account.“Okay, I see you have a large deposit made recently. What can I help you with?”“I would like to have a cashier’s check drawn up f
Marry Me For Money It Was You
HaileyWe talked with each of the kids for a little while before it was time for them to have their outside time. When Mandy left to take the kids to the playground, Terran turned to look at me. “That was crazy.”I laughed, picking up scattered crayons and scraps of paper. “It usually is.”“They all know you, and love you,” he said with awe.“I like to come by and help out. Mandy has a lot of kids to contend with, and with budget cuts, she doesn’t have a lot of help. I come in when I can. It lightens the load so the other aides and caregivers can focus on other stuff.” He was nodding his head. “I see.”“Terran, I brought you here because I wanted to show you why I’m so passionate about giving money to charities. This place is funded by the government, but that barely keeps the doors open and the lights on. They have to fight to get every dollar they can. I know it’s like that for a lot of other organizations.”He nodded his head. “I’m not opposed to giving money to charity. Not at al
Marry Me For Money Meeting The Kids
HaileyI wasn’t surprised to feel the bed empty beside me. We’d stayed at his house last night, as usual. We’d gone straight to bed, both of us tired after a long few days. Terran had tossed and turned all night. I had a feeling he was a lot more anxious about giving away the money than he was letting on. I had to assuage my own guilt. I walked into the living room to find him pacing the floor, his phone next to his ear as he talked about his schedule for the day.When he hung up, I smiled at him. He smiled back, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes as it normally did.“You didn’t sleep very well,” I said, walking to him to kiss him good morning.He shook his head. “No, I didn’t. I have a lot on my mind.”I nodded my head in understanding. “Was that the office?”“Yes. I was clearing my schedule for the day. I still need to do a conference call, but the rest can be taken care of from home. What about you?” “I’m free. I mean, I’m supposed to be learning my lines, but I don’t have to be
Marry Me For Money A Lot to Lose
Terran“I mean, I would not blame you for wanting to keep some or all of the money for our own future. I know you’re a genuine person. You don’t have to prove anything to me. It’s a lot of money to give away.” There was a skeptical look in her eye. “Are you saying that because you don’t want to give it away?”I shrugged a shoulder. “I won’t lie that I haven’t thought about what I could do with that money. I could expand the company, set up trust funds for every one of the seven children we’re going to have.” I winked, trying to make her laugh.“You don’t want to give the money to charity?” she asked.“I’m not saying that at all.”“But you’re regretting telling me you would?”I shook my head. I could see the wheels turning in her head. She was jumping to conclusions and letting the thoughts run away. I could see the anger and hurt in her eyes, and I grabbed her hand again.“Hailey, I regret nothing. I told you I would give it away if that was what you wanted. I will do anything to mak
