All Chapters of Money Can't Buy Love: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Rainey“Why are you so concerned about me? Why would you risk being in danger to warn Frederick?” Michael asked.We both knew the reason, but I was unable to put what I felt into words. It was so wrong that I felt this way for him. But seeing him again, now that we were alone and not in his office, made me want to do the things we only experienced when we were alone, outside of working hours.Why did he do this to me? With one look he turned me into the girl that fell in love with Killian. One who would throw everything away just for him to touch me?“Michael, I—”And then his lips were on mine, silencing the words on the tip of my tongue.“God, I missed kissing you,” he said against my mouth.Every inhibition I had since quitting disappeared. My body responded to Michael, and I wanted to be as close as I could. I squeezed his shoulders and reached up to him on my tip toes. Even with the heels on, Michael was much taller than me.Michael leaned down, and his warm hands gripped my legs

MichaelAfter Rainey had left, I didn’t stay at the club much longer. I had received the envelope that Frederick had requested and I was thoroughly confused about what happened between Rainey and me, so I didn’t see a reason to stick around. I didn’t take much care in cleaning up after our little sexcapade. I doubted Frederick would blink an eye about the mess since his office was normally a mess anyway.I went home and had two drinks before heading to bed. And even though I couldn’t stop thinking about Rainey, there was no further explanation for what she’d done to me. Why the hell did she leave after fucking me? She obviously had a good time. Was she that stubborn about not taking the job back? She claimed I couldn’t protect her which was entirely false. I would protect her if given a chance. Demetri met Rainey. He now knew how much she meant to me and vice versa. Why couldn’t she see that?Instead of calling her that night to demand an explanation, I laid in bed and thought about w

RaineyThe entire weekend, I thought about Michael. More than usual. After our little tryst, each time his eyes pierced my memory, shivers moved up and down my body as I thought of our time together in Frederick’s office. I had no idea what came over me, but it was the hottest sex I’d ever had. Michael brought out some primal side of me that both terrified and turned me on. Why was I such a sucker for him? We trod down the same path that Killian and I had been on for a long time, yet I would never say they were the same man. Sure, Michael had a selfish streak, and he could be stubborn as hell, but he never treated me like Killian did. He encouraged me to use my mind, even when I disagreed with him.I wished he never became involved with the mob. Even though I had no idea what circumstances in his life led him to that connection, was it fair of me to judge him? He continuously reminded me that everything would be okay. I was safe. Could I really open my heart up again to someone who mi

MichaelIf it weren’t freezing outside, I would have walked to work. I woke that morning with so much energy that even after running on the treadmill for forty minutes, it still coursed through my veins.Today was the day that would set the tone for the rest of Rainey and my relationship. I promised to keep it professional, at least until she was comfortable again. There was no denying the spark we had. Even though she’d omitted a huge part of her life, I finally understood why. And I’d spend each day reminding her that I would protect her and her family no matter what. My relationship with Demetri had rarely brought danger to my front door. My ability to build my business and my face in the newspapers at charity events steered away most danger. Hiding in plain sight kept me out of harm's way for most of my life since knowing Demetri. If I disappeared, a larger investigation would take place, and no enemy of Demetri would want to risk their organization to take me out.After showering

RaineyI had no reason to be annoyed about Michael’s conversation with his “friend” Natalia. Even though she was a gorgeous and apparently wealthy woman, who fawned over Michael whenever she could, I wanted nothing to do with him outside of a professional relationship. I had to keep reminding myself of that each time I remembered how Michael had smiled and flirted with her over the phone the other day. Since then, he hadn’t spoken to her at work, but I couldn’t help how it bothered me!I knew he liked me, that was apparent from the other day, but the way I spurned him might have thrown him into another woman’s arms. He was giving me everything I wanted: the space I needed, yet I continued to feel like a jealous ex-girlfriend.What the hell was wrong with me?When I found my mind wandering back to him, I dug myself deeper into my work. For two days, I caught up with the assignments I missed and reviewed the documents for the Christmas charity, going over each detail and setting up the
