Mr. Grayson: Billionaires' Club Book 4 102
Fuck. I knew I could do this. I understood that Bree needed to know, but could I be the man she needed if this news was received horribly? I was throwing that damn word love around like I understood what it entirely meant. Hell, I pulled a marriage proposal out of my ass, and why? Because I trusted and cared enough about her to let her in a little bit on my fuckedup past?“Alex?” Bree questioned, her hand brushing along the stubble on my face. “You look like you’re going to tie me up and have your way with me or something?” She smiled as I let out a breath. “Why the dark expression so suddenly?”I chewed on the inside of my tightened bottom lip. “How’s a walk on the beach sound?”She cocked her head to the side curiously. “I’d rather take my sexy lover to bed,” she grinned. “I’m down for a walk, but we missed the sunset by four hours or so.”“San Diego beaches are beautiful with or without sunsets,” I smiled. “Go and change into something that will keep you warm. There’s something—” I

“That sounds like something he’d say. I guess he was right,” she said with sadness in her voice.“Were you happy running that business, or are you happier designing and keeping that part of his vision alive?”“I just feel like I failed him.”I took her hand. “Jim and I feel as though we failed him in his requests. You’ve seen me work, and I’m sure you understand that I’m all numbers, profits, and business. At the time, we were more focused on the fact that Brian Stone was handing his business to us, and we weren’t so concerned about keeping his daughter happy. I am now, of course. Jim and I failed him, letting it come down to the fact that we let you have too much freedom at Stone Company. I should’ve insisted you and I meet back then and that I audit the company to see why it needed regular donations.” I arched an eyebrow at her. “We should’ve been more involved, but we were assholes,and I’m sorry to you and your father for that.”“Don’t you even think about taking on that burden,”

After we got back to the hotel room, Bree seemed numb in thought, and that’s when I knew for sure that love was more than sex and more than admiring a woman from across the room, or while she worked, or hearing her call out my name. All of that was a fantastic addition to being attached to a woman, but what love was proving itself to mean to me was entirely different. It was allowing this beautiful soul to curl up around me and let me hold her as her broken heart shed tears until she fell asleep peacefully at my side.I didn’t interrogate her. I didn’t try to fix her sadness. I didn’t do all the shit I always did when I delivered shitty news. I just held her and loved her with every ounce of my being. I knew now that Breanne Stone was mine to love, care for, and adore until she either pushed me away or I left this life.There was no other woman for me but her. No other woman I could ever hold and give a damn about. When you were with her, you saw sincerity and love that went deeper th

All in all, everything was moving so smoothly. I had to wonder what the hell happened to force a one-eighty shift in my life. I mean, down to the fact that Brooks and Stone had fully merged, and it ran like a well-oiled machine. A lot of that credit went to Alex, though. He was undoubtedly no bullshit in the office, and when mandatory meetings were called, the man carried himself as someone you didn’t cross with a lame-ass remark.So, here I was, enjoying nine months of sheer bliss with a man I deeply loved, my best friend was getting married off, and now, all of this charity stuff was rolling out beautifully. I couldn’t help but have a smile plastered on my face everywhere I went. The only thing that was missing lately was the amount of time I got to see Alex. We were constantly missing each other.Even when he invited me to dinner with all of his friends, Alex got held up at a job site, and his friends got to enjoy my company without him. It all worked, though. The men always had th

My hands went from nearly tearing out his always perfectly styled hair from his head to massaging it while I rode out the pleasure. My favorite part of all of this was when Alex brought his mouth to cover all of my opening, his tongue massaging my orgasm as it gushed into his mouth. His whimpers and soft moans as if he were devouring a savory steak was what created the constant ripple effect of a throbbing sensation that surged through my clit and inside of me while I came in him.Alex kissed and licked at the inside of my thighs before I was in his arms, and we wound up using the bedroom to continue through the night. Thank God tomorrow was a beach day because I was all about laying out and dreaming up our next rounds. The addictions and cravings were back, and I seriously wondered how we managed only to have sex once a week after this perfect reunion.I was on my stomach, ass in the air, and Alex was working over my pussy with his length when his phone alerted that Alex never put th

I had no answer. “Time’s flown in the last nine months. We’ve hardly seen each other, and the two times you’ve proposed to me were not situations where you were thinking clearly.”“Whatever.” He shrugged me off. “If you want to go, then go with me. This won’t be pretty. Perhaps we’ll both discover together why it’s probably a good idea for you not to marry me.” He brushed past me. “Trust me, myfather will give you plenty of reasons to stay far away from me.”“Alex!” I stormed into the room after him. “Look at me.”He glanced back, and that’s when I saw tears slip out of his eyes. “What?” he choked out.“I’m here for you, and I plan to always be here for you. I love you, and I guess this is the point when I do accept your proposal because I’m not leaving your side ever.” I took my hands and brushed his tears from his wet cheeks. “You’re officially stuck with me. Are you okay with that?”He sniffed. “I don’t want to lose you.”“Then don’t try to push me away again like you just attempt

I told myself that I didn’t give a fuck about what my old man said or who he said it to while I was here paying my final respects to my mom, but here I was, unable to sleep—afraid to sleep—worried that Bree was about to discover the truth of who I really was.She would see the man behind the illusion I put on for the world. Although, it never felt like an illusion until these damn emotions took control of me. My grandfather busted his ass to give me the second chance I deserved. Even though my mom had sent me away, and Jane hated her for that, my mother never treated me like the evil human my father did.“So long as everyone is fucking aware, the past is in the past, Jen,” I whispered from where I hid in my usual office on Mitchell and Associates’ luxury jet.“Alex, we all swore not to say one word about you or any of it. This is why I don’t understand why you showed up after her stroke and why you’re coming here now.”“I have my reasons. Regardless of what everyone believes, I’m not

I probably should’ve waited for Bree so we could arrive together, but I wanted to see my mother alone. Bree accepted my reasons for going ahead, but I could tell she wasn’t thrilled by it even though she didn’t say as much. She told me she’d meet me there once she was dressed and ready, and I didn’t stick around for her to change her mind and insist on joining me early. Was it a dick move on my part? Probably. Was I pushing her away from me subconsciously because I was terrified of her being here in the first place? Definitely.“Alexander O’Conner?” I heard a young woman say, prompting me to halt my easy walk into town from the bed and breakfast.I turned back, praying to God this wasn’t going to be an awkward conversation. The woman was dressed nicely and was familiar, but I could hardly remember my life in this town.“I’m sorry, but you have me at a disadvantage,” I said, forcing the fake smile I’d been using even with Breanne since the call about my mom came in.“It’s Emma…” she pa

I walked out to the comfortable waiting area, and Jim was the first to stand when he saw my approach. “We heard mommy and babies are healthy?”“A new and very handsome dad didn’t pass out?” I heard Jane as she walked up to me, smiles worn all around the room while the children were occupied in the learning and games corner of the room.“Jane, I’m happy as hell that you’re here,” I said as she stepped back and smiled up at me.“Well,” she patted my cheek, “I’ve heard you’re doing well from my sister-in-law. I texted Bree and congratulated her on your nuptials since your response was some BS thumbs-up emoji.”“I am.” I grinned at how well my sister appeared. Her blonde, curly hair was loose around her shoulders, and she was dressed casually. She didn’thave her usual stiff military look. “I’m happy you’re here.”She jabbed me in my side. “You better be. Now, let’s go,” she said.“Give us a second,” I smiled at the group as Jane walked in to meet Breanne and our children for the first ti

WITH ALL OF Breanne’s hard work, she safely delivered our sons. Both boys were instantly rushed to their warmers after I cut their umbilical cords, and just as Dr. Allen suggested, Bree’s thirty-eight-week pregnancy could likely deliver two healthy baby boys. He was right.Both babies passing the APGAR score made me exhale in relief at our two beautiful sons, who were now crying loudly for their mother. The group had all texted that they’d wait outside when Bree’s contractions were more brutal, and it was only Cameron who had the balls to peek around the curtain to check on her before heading into surgery.The nurses quickly wrapped both sets of dark-haired boys in their burrito-style blanket and handed them to Breanne after I walked to my wife. I kissed her on her forehead, her tired eyes peering up at me and her beautiful, dimpled smile lighting up the entire room.“You did so well, baby,” I kissed her forehead. “Our sons are healthy and on their way to you.”I watched, mesmerized,

“Yes. Fuck me hard.” She walked over to a wall in the living room, sighed in annoyance, and spread her legs.“I have to admit, everything you just demanded of me can be a man’s dream come true. However, this isn’t exactly romantic.”“Fuck romance, Alex,” she snapped into that gear again. “The romance is dead right now, and you’re going to be dead if you don’t get over here and help me get this going.”“Well, the doc said it was the sperm that triggered the pregnancy, so why don’t we do this where it’s a tiny bit more comfortable for you?” “For me?” she turned back, and evil-Bree was in full swing. “Comfortable? I can’t sleep—I don’t even remember the last time I slept. I’m hotter than hell all of the fucking time, I fart when I least expect it to happen, my indigestion is killing me from all those tacos I can’t stop eating, and as if all of that isn’t bad enough, I pee myself when I laugh, cough, or sneeze. So, I ask you,” she flashed her most challenging expression, “why would I give

“There is an upside for Alex in all of this,” Nat said as the girls all grabbed their slender bouquets of lilies. “There shall be no periods throughout the entire honeymoon, and of course, I hear that as time goes on, you get hornier, so the first six months of your marriage should be fantastic. All thanks to you getting knocked up right before your wedding.”I exhaled, feeling the nerves now. “Let’s worry about getting through this day. My aunt has been faithfully attending that wedding book, and I’m going to dodge her. I can’t cry.”“Ha,” Elena chuckled. “Good luck with that. In addition to what Nat said, your hormones can kick in at random intervals, and you could be the blubbering bride up there with Alex today.”I eyed all of my bridesmaids as they chuckled. “Aren’t you guys supposed to be my support crew or whatever it is that bridesmaids do on the wedding day?”“We support you telling Alex when you’re standing in front of that priest,” Cass teased.“All right,” the door flung o

I was not the bridezilla Nat was sure I’d be. Instead, I was going with the flow, filled with gratitude that I was about to become Alex’s wife officially. After the wedding, he and I were set to travel on the yacht he and Jim jointly owned—Maiden Stone, the one he’d named after me. He was incredibly proud of himself for naming the ship now because he said it represented our relationship—Made in Stone. The only thing we needed to do now was get to the boat after the wedding, which was anchored in the Sea of Cortez.Alex still held an iron fist at work and with our employees, but this softer side of him led him down some silly romantic roads, so much so that I teased him that if our marriage was made in stone, he should probably take my last name and not the other way around.“You look so goddamn beautiful,” Nat said, walking into the room where I was dressed and fully prepared to walk down that aisle and become Alex’s wife. “You’re never going to believe what that gorgeous young doctor

“It counts for something, right?” he asked. “But I can watch our movie with you a hundred times, Dorothy, with my new heart you’ve insisted the wizard give me. I will gladly watch that movie with you.” He kissed my ring finger. “But only if you put my outward expression of love on your finger.”I sniffed as I started to cry, officially caught up in the moment with the man I loved more than anything, and I felt more solid about marrying him than I felt about anything else in this world.Alex returned to bended knee in front of me. “I humbly ask you to marry me or at least start over and date me until the day comes that you feel confident enough to become my wife.”“What if I told you that I felt confident enough that I would marry you now if I could?” I knelt in front of him.“Well, that would put us all back on the plane and off to Vegas as your birthday evening stop, doing that Titanic experience,” he looked back atAvery’s grin, as she leaned into Jim’s side, “and Elvis handling our

“What the hell are you two doing?” Alex said when he turned, and I laughed softly with the rest of the women who’d found the two men’s humor just as entertaining.“Well, I’m humming the tune for Coll to sing on key,” Jake said, acting extremely serious. “Trust me. It takes a lot to keep Collin at that angelic level. And of all the songs he has to sing, it’s got to be Celine Dion’s song —the one we had to hear when we were forced to sit through the movie so we could learn more about the ship.”“I never told you idiots to watch a movie about this ship,” Alex answered in confusion. “What movie?” He glanced between the two men.“Titanic. Kate Winslet?” Collin stopped singing and answered. “Elena told me that you insisted we watch that three-hour movie.” He looked around Alex and at me. “Speaking of which, I now will add my expert opinion. Leonardo DiCaprio’s character was an absolute idiot, and that’s why he didn’t make it.”“Really? We’re doing this?” Alex said. I could hear him trying t

“Whether she knew they were stealing from her or not,” Alex said.I nearly jumped out of my skin when I heard his voice as he finished speaking for Cass. I turned back and stared at his brilliant smile and his lighter expression, looking more handsome than I remembered.“You’re here?” I said, confused and in utter shock that Alex was here and joined by his closest friends.“Well,” he held up a boarding pass and pulled his sunglasses off to read the pass, “according to this, I’m not.”Did he go through this attraction too? Wait, this was Alex’s idea. All of it, and my girlfriends did well in acting like it was theirs.I smiled. “Third class passenger and didn’t get a boat?” I tried to guess.His eyes locked with mine. “No boat and my passenger gave up his life jacket. He was reported to be preaching to the ones who were going down with the ship.” He read the information with a broad grin.“Preaching?” I cocked my head to the side. “What passenger were you who selflessly gave up your li

“We’ll be sure to do that,” Cass said. “Go lay down and sleep this off because when we land, we’re going directly to the attraction we set up for Bree. The rules were to drink, but don’t get drunk, and now look at you?”“God,” Nat rubbed her forehead and meandered through the leather seating where we were in, “you owe me for this, Bree.” She turned back to me. “Trust me, flying to an attraction in Missouri was not my idea of a thirty-something birthday party.”“No,” I smiled, “I know exactly what your plans would’ve been. I’m glad we’re going to Missouri instead.”“Wake me when the wheels are safely on the ground, please,” Nat said.WE’D CONSUMED plenty of food and water to soak up the cocktails we’d enjoyed on our luxurious flight, and after the plane landed in Springfield, Missouri, we loaded up into a party limo that was waiting for us. I should have been drawn to the party lights of this massive SUV, but instead, seeing the lime green grass and how beautiful the countryside was in
