Money Can't Buy Love Waking Up Together
MichaelI woke early the next morning with Rainey still in my arms. The intensely intimate time we shared hadn’t taken that long, but we were both spent after it. There wasn’t a woman I’d had before that compared to Rainey. Being with her like that had brought me to a different place than the other random girls I’d fucked over the years. They had been distractions. Rainey was someone that I could imagine fucking every single night for the rest of my life. Her fiery spirit translated to the way she moved and spoke to me while making love.And afterward, I spooned her body against me, and she quickly fell asleep. As I drifted off, I remembered that she wasn’t much of a party girl, as much as she pretended to be. Her bedtime was probably closer to mine most nights and much earlier than tonight.I woke the next morning with her facing me. Her light eyelashes framed her eyes like feathers.I moved my head to see her. Her eyelids fluttered as she dreamed. My gaze dropped to her lips, and I

Michael“You didn’t like Sal very much,” she stated.“I liked him as a client. No more, no less.”She seemed satisfied for a moment. Until she took a breath and asked, “Those men threatened us?”I narrowed my eyes. Had she heard the conversation between those thugs and me? If she hadn’t then I threw myself under a very large bus.“You’re safe,” I said. “I promise.”“It’s not just me, Michael. It’s my—” she clamped her mouth shut and shook her head. “This is my life. I can’t have people threatening me because I work for you.”“Rainey, like I said, you’re safe.”“You say that, but you don’t know that. Those men seemed really serious. What if they weren’t happy with what you told them? Are they going to show up at my home next?” She pulled the sheets up, covering her chest. This wasn’t happening. We needed less fabric between us, not more. “I can’t believe you were so selfish to get me involved with this.”I sat up straighter, unwilling to accept her accusations. “From what I recall, thi
Money Can't Buy Love Call From Killian
RaineyThe taxi ride home gave me enough time to stew in my own head about everything that had happened between Michael and me. I hated that he was an incredible lover on top of being the most gorgeous man I’d ever met. No one was perfect, and his flaw was his connections to dangerous company. I sure knew how to pick them.I knew prodding into his life wasn’t the best morning wake-up, but I needed to know everything if I was going to get involved with him. I had Tanner to think about. I almost slipped and told Michael about my son. He made me want to open up to him. If I did, then I would be opening a vulnerable part of me. And it was a good thing I didn’t. I didn’t want my son involved with anything dangerous. He was going to have enough issues with Killian once he was old enough to see that his father was a deadbeat. For right now, I wanted to preserve the innocence within Tanner.Halfway home, I knew what I had to do. I pulled out my phone and started writing up a letter to Michael
Money Can't Buy Love Telling Tessa Everything
RaineyLater that afternoon, Tessa came over. The salon was closed on Sundays, and we sometimes made a lazy day of our time off. She waited until Tanner was happily playing in his room before she confronted me.“Tell me everything about last night!” she said, clapping her hands together. “You look different. Did something happen between you and Michael?”I checked to make sure Tanner was still in his room before bringing Tessa into the living room. I kept my voice low so Tanner wouldn’t hear anything. It would be just like him to repeat things I said to Killian. Then he might have a reason to want to take Tanner. Which was another reason why I needed to quit. After breakfast, I’d polished my resignation letter and sent it to my work email to print the next morning. I hoped that Michael would somehow be able to find it in my inbox and save me the trouble, but I doubted he would admit it if he went snooping.“We slept together,” I said to my hands.Tessa squealed, and I shushed her.“It
Money Can't Buy Love Handling Things
MichaelAfter Rainey had hung up on me, I knew I’d fucked up. Why did I tell her the truth? It was easier for me to protect her if she was unaware of the syndicate. She’d put me under her spell. Now she didn’t even want to speak to me. I hoped a day away from each other would clear her head enough to have a decent conversation with her tomorrow at work. It wasn’t the first time we had a disagreement with each other. And Rainey needed this job. We would figure it out.That thought carried me over to the next day. To help the process along, I ordered breakfast for the office. I knew everyone’s usual order from the deli down the street. I picked it up a few minutes before Sandra and Rainey were due in for work.When I arrived at the office, Sandra was in the process of hanging up her things in the closet behind her desk.“Good morning, Michael,” she said.“Good morning, Sandra.” I reached into the bag and pulled out a lox and cream cheese bagel.She grinned. “It’s a good thing I didn’t e
Money Can't Buy Love Chasing Her Down
MichaelI knew what it was, but I didn’t want to read it. She thought she could quit on me. But if I didn’t read the words, then it wasn’t official.Rainey remained busy the rest of the day. She didn't even take a lunch break. I sat at my desk the whole time, not willing to let her out of my sight.And when she came into my office at the end of the day, I noticed her eyes going to the piece of paper, in the same place where she’d left it this morning.She frowned. “Did you read that?”My eyebrows shot up in mock surprise. “Oh. No, I haven’t.”She stood there for a moment. “Read it. It’s important.”“I’ll get to it after we have a serious discussion.”“Then you’re going to wait a long time,” she said and turned on her heel, closing the door behind her. I could have sworn I heard a “goodbye” under her breath. I sat there for a minute staring at my door. The elevator dinged in the distance. I took a deep breath, letting go of the tension I'd had in my shoulders.Did she think she could

RaineyAs the driver pulled away from the building, I rested my head in my hands. I couldn’t believe Michael saw me crying! I held it together the entire day at work. Getting into the elevator and making the final trip out of that building had washed over me and my emotions got the best of me. I never thought he would chase after me. I had a feeling he would try something to get me to come back. I hoped, for his sake, that he would get the hint. It sucked big time that I had to start all over again in my personal and professional life, but it's what I had to do to protect Tanner. And I held onto the fact that Tessa had my back.Next, I had to tell Mom and convince her this was the right choice. I could already feel her disappointed eyes on me, and while I could have told her everything, Michael’s business wasn’t any of hers. To Tessa, it had been a no-brainer about Michael, but Mom always had an optimistic hope that everything would work out for me. If I told her he was involved with
Money Can't Buy Love He Knows the Truth
RaineyUpstairs, I settled Tanner in on the table, and he continued working on his art. I went to the refrigerator to get him a juice box when I heard a sound from outside. I stood up straight and looked at Tanner. None of his crayons had fallen to the floor, and he was still furiously working on his project.What did I hear? It sounded as if it came from the landing. Not wanting to scare Tanner, I walked over to the door and peered outside. I imagined seeing the two men from Michael’s place on my doorstep. My stomach sank, and my breathing roared in my ears. I didn’t see anyone initially, so I opened the door and looked out. There weren’t any hulking men nearby.I went back inside and locked the door behind me.Get a grip, Rainey, I thought to myself.I watched Tanner for a moment while I took several calming breaths. Nothing was going to happen to him. There was no reason for me to be paranoid. Especially now since I distanced myself from all of Michael’s drama.“Can I have my juice
