Hailey

It felt so good to have him next to me, his big strong hand holding mine as we walked to the edge of the lot. I loved being on the beach with him. I realized then that the smell of the beach reminded me of him. He wore expensive cologne, but underneath it, I could smell the sun and sea on him. It always made me think of vibrancy. He was a vibrant man, and I was naturally drawn to him.

“Hold on a second,” I said, stopping to pull my shoes off.

“I can carry those,” he said.

I shook my head. “No. You need to carry your own. Come on, take your shoes off and let your toes sink into the cool sand.”

He laughed. “That sounds good.”

He quickly removed his shoes, stuffing his socks inside, and rolled up his pant legs a bit. Then we set off in search of a quiet place to spread the blanket.

“I think here looks good,” I said, pointing to an area flanked by tall beach grass and away from the lights of the parking lot and the hotels that dotted the beach.

He spread out the blanket before sitt

    Hailey“If you are serious about loving me and wanting me for me and not what being with me will get you, I want you to give up the inheritance,” I whispered.He gasped. “You want me to do what?”“If we’re engaged, you’ll get the inheritance, right?”“Yes.”“If we’re not engaged, you don’t get a penny. It goes to charity, and you lose your company. Hundreds of people will lose their jobs, correct?”He nodded. “Yes, that is correct. The company gets dissolved, and one charity gets a sizeable donation that will make them very happy.”I took a deep breath, feeling horrible for asking him to do it but needing to know for sure where his heart was. “Then, I’m asking you to give the money to the charity your father designated but keep your company. I don’t want you to be jobless, and I certainly don’t want people like Lena to lose their job.”I could feel him stiffen beside me. The fingers had stopped trailing over my arm, and he had slackened his hold on me. In an instant, I saw everything

  • Marry Me For Money   Have You Lost Your Mind?

    TerranI’d been working from home, trying to keep on top of things without actually doing face-to-face meetings. I had done some Skyping to satisfy some client needs, but any new business I was leaving up to the vice president to deal with. It felt good to have more free time. I realized I wasn’t quite as invested in the company as I had been. I wanted to spend my time with Hailey. I knew she was about to become very busy, and I would struggle to get any time with her at all. I had to take advantage of every minute.I sent off the last email and checked my watch. I was supposed to be meeting Zach for a late lunch. We hadn’t seen each other all week and had been playing phone tag. The always carefree Zach had gone to Vegas Tuesday and got back into town late last night. When he texted and asked to meet for lunch, I was worried he was going to tell me he’d gotten married by Elvis to a complete stranger.Stranger things had happened.I walked into the restaurant and grabbed a table, orde

    TerranHe wrinkled his nose. “How’s that even possible?”I opened my mouth to explain when I got a text. I checked my phone and grinned.“You know what? I’ve got to go. While this has been an invigorating discussion, I’ve got something better waiting for me at home.”He was actively scowling at me. “You’re ditching me?”I smiled. “You’ll be fine. Eat, get a Bloody Mary, and then go home and sleep. You’re cranky. You’re no fun to be around when you’re cranky.”“I’m not cranky,” he shot back. “I think you’re being an idiot. I’m going to think that tomorrow after I sleep as well.” I was ignoring him, busy texting Hailey back. She was picking up takeout and heading to my house. She was always going to be my first choice.“See you later, Zach. I’ll give you a call.” I got and walked out.I swung by a store, picked up a nice bottle of wine, and then bought a bouquet of wildflowers before heading home. It was mid-afternoon, but I hoped Hailey would be staying through dinner. I knew it was a

  • Marry Me For Money   She Sucks

    HaileyIt felt like the first time all over again. My stomach had butterflies as I trailed behind him into his bedroom. I was always the follower, the eager pupil in our lovemaking. He had the experience. I wanted to be the one to dominate him but not tonight. Tonight, I was at his mercy, eager to let him have his way with me to do as he pleased.He left the light off as we passed through the door, leading me straight to his bed. He stopped, turned to face me, and cupped my face in his hands before gently kissing me. I could feel the pent-up passion running through him. I didn’t want slow and gentle. He’d been handling me with kid gloves for too long. My body wouldn’t break. I felt ready and wanted him to take me hard with wild abandon.“Terran,” I said his name, pulling my mouth away from his.“What is it? Do you want to stop?” I shook my head. “No, definitely not. I want you to take me. Don’t hold back. Ravish me. I can feel you holding back, straining. Don’t.”“Hailey, I don’t wan

    Hailey“I love being inside your tight pussy,” he rasped, his hands moving to my hips as he pushed himself in the last long inch.He seated himself deep inside me and didn’t move. I could feel my pussy milking him, taking him impossibly deeper and tickling nerves that had been previously untouched.“I’m—I’m going to come,” I cried out in disbelief. My body couldn’t be sated.He growled low in his throat and pushed his thighs against mine, somehow going deeper. My body began to rock of its own volition.“That’s it,” he said in a guttural voice. “Milk me. I can feel you clamping down on me. It feels so good, Hailey. Does it feel good?” “Yes, yes!” I screamed as my body exploded around him.His hands were running up and down my sides before reaching under me and grabbing my breasts, pulling the nipples and taking the climax to a new level. My body bucked back against him, taking him deep inside as I cried out with sheer ecstasy.I felt myself spiraling downward, collapsing on the bed fa

    TerranI was a new man as I walked down the hall toward my office. I had Hailey, and I would keep my company. Life was good.“Good morning, Lena,” I said in a cheery voice.She looked up at me, weariness in her eyes. “Uh, good morning. Are you here to stay or are you just passing through?”I grinned. “I’m here to stay.”She relaxed her shoulders. “Thank God. You have a lot of catching up to do.”I nodded my head. “I know, I know. I’m ready.”“I’ve made a list of appointments that are urgent and need to be done today. I’ll get on the phone and start calling the others that have been rescheduled.”“Thank you.”“One more thing,” she said in a voice full of dread.I stopped moving and looked at her. “What?”“That man is here.”“That man? Can you be more specific?”“The one you had barred from the building,” she said. “He is now sitting in your office.”I groaned. “Great. Thanks.”“I’m sorry. I called security, but they said their hands were tied.”“Of course, they are.”I walked to my off

    TerranI shrugged. “I don’t see it like that at all. My father did the best he could raising me as a single parent. I don’t know, Lance. Look at the two of us. Who turned out better?” I smirked.He jumped to his feet, and for a fleeting second, I thought he would drop of a heart attack. He quickly regained his composure. “Say what you will. You’ll be sorry you ever spoke to me this way.”“What is it you think you are owed?”“Everything! I was always the second-best brother. He’s gone. I deserve to be the top dog now.”“It doesn’t work that way, Lance. My dad was smart and driven, and he knew how to talk to people, all qualities you lack.”He furiously shook his head. “I’ve changed. I’m ready to take over the helm. It’s my turn to shine.”“Then go start your own company. No one is stopping you.”“I can’t!” he said, waving his arms around.I shrugged. “I guess you can’t. You can’t because you don’t have the drive. You are going to get exactly what my father felt you deserved.”“What?” h

    HaileyI felt so official. I was at my first table read with the people I would be in the movie with. I was a little starstruck. When I met my co-star, I completely fan-girled. He was handsome, but Terran was hotter. He seemed like a good guy and wasn’t nearly as stuck up as some of the other actors that were sitting around the table. I had a feeling some of them were pissed I got the job. They saw me as a nobody who hadn’t earned my stripes and was undeserving of the chance to get the part as the star in a feature film.“Let’s take five, everyone,” one of the producers announced.I felt like we had just gotten started, but clearly, the others were ready to take advantage of the catering that had been set up in the room. I made my way over to the drink station, feeling out of place. Everyone else was chatting and asking about houses, films, and who’d been to Ibiza for the summer. I quietly got my drink and made my way to the back of the room to take my position as the honorary wallflo

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
