Alpha Billionaire, Part I (Alpha Billionaire #1)(13)
Author: Helen Cooper

“Yes.” I moaned as my body responded to his movements. I cried out as he reached up and pulled my hair, turning my face to the right. I shuddered as I felt him filling me up and bringing me close to orgasm already. I felt my body quivering and for a second I froze as I looked at the mantlepiece again and saw the photo of Eugenie watching us. I bit down on my lower lip as I realized that I had absolutely no idea what I had gotten myself into. What had started as a favor to Hailey had taken a crazy turn and I wasn’t even sure how one night could have already changed my life so much.

Chapter Six

I woke up before Grant did the next morning. My body felt stiff and sore from our lovemaking. I groaned as I opened my eyes and thought about all the sex we’d had. A feeling of shame and embarrassment swept through me as I realized I’d just had my first one-night stand with a complete and utter stranger. A stranger I’d met as a stripper. Yeah, I wasn’t really a stripper, but I’d been acting as a stripper for the night.

“Morning, Evie.” Grant kissed my shoulder as he woke up and I turned to face him. I wasn’t sure what the protocol was the morning after a one night stand.

“Morning.” I smiled at him and gazed into his brilliant emerald green eyes. He looked even more handsome in the light of the morning.

“I take it you slept well?” His fingers played in my belly button and I squirmed on the bed next to him.

“I did.” I nodded.

“I guess you’re wondering when you’re going to get your money?” His fingers slipped lower and gently slipped between my legs.

“No.” I closed my legs and frowned. The talk about money first thing definitely made me feel like a prostitute. “I wasn’t thinking about that at all.”

“Open your legs.” He nibbled on my earlobe.

“No.” I shook my head and pouted, feeling upset that he thought he could just talk to me as he wanted to and still have me.

“You know you want to.” He whispered in my ear, his tongue licking me.

“Does Tyler live with you?” I changed the subject and turned over to face him more directly. His hand left the spot between my legs and he stilled.

“Yes, of course.”

“So he’s a live in chauffeur?”

“Something like that.” His eyes narrowed. “Why do you ask?”

“No reason.” I shook my head and moaned as he pinched my ni**les. “I should get going soon.” I gasped as he bent down to suck on my left nipple.

“Were you attracted to Tyler?” He asked me softly as his teeth nibbled and tugged on my nipple. I shook my head slightly as Tyler’s face entered my mind. For one brief second I imagined it was him in the bed with me.

“No, of course not.” I pulled away from Grant, my face reddening in shame. What was wrong with me?

“He’s a handsome guy.” He shrugged. “Very, very built. Like a wrestler almost.”

“You’re as built as any wrestler I’ve seen on TV.” I lightly touched his arm and he smiled.

“Not as much as him.” He smiled and stretched, his chest muscles rippling before me. “Anyway we have muscles for different reasons.”

“Oh?” I asked him lightly, wondering what those reasons were.

“Yes.” He jumped out of the bed and lifted up the chains from the floor and wrapped them around his arms again. “We have different ideas of fun.”

“Oh?” My heart stopped for a second as I stared at his na**d body in front of me. All he had covering his body was the thick steel chain. His c**k was hard and standing at attention. I could feel my body trembling as I gazed at it. It looked thick and hard and all I could think about was how it had filled me up the night before.

“I like to go out and meet girls, show them a good time.” He shrugged as he looked at me. “He doesn’t always approve.”

“I guess that’s not his business, is it?” I murmured, thinking of the warnings Tyler had given me. “You’re an adult and can do what you want.”

“Exactly.” He smiled and dropped the chain on the bed, near my feet. “I’m glad you agree. Some people look at me and think…” He paused as he got onto the bed next to me. “It doesn’t matter what they think.” He smiled and kissed me lightly.

“Who’s Eugenie?” I asked him softly, not able to stop myself from asking the question I’d been thinking about all night.

“What?” He froze, his eyes growing cold as he looked at me.

“I saw the photo yesterday in the living room. Tyler said her name was Eugenie. She’s very beautiful.”

“He shouldn’t have said anything to you.” Grant’s fists clenched as he gazed down at me with unseeing eyes.

“Sorry, I didn’t know.”

“Thinking about her makes me feel like I’m dead.”

“I’m sorry.” I bit my lower lip as my brain screamed at me for bringing her up.

“You will never know what I have lost. I cannot breathe without her. I cannot think without her. I cannot be without her.”

“But you’re still here.” I murmured lightly. “You’re still alive.”

“I go through the motions.” He shrugged. “I do not know if that is life.”

“You’re still alive though.”

“I am.” He nodded, his eyes sad. “Yes, I am.”

“Did you love her very much?” I asked softly, really wanting to know what had happened.

“Yes.” He said simply.

“What happened?”

“She left me.” His expression changed. “Enough of this. I don’t want to ruin our time talking about my past.”

“I understand.” I smiled weakly. “Though, I think I want to leave now. Will you call Tyler and ask him to give me a ride?” I tried to keep my voice calm. “I have some errands to run.”

“I can’t do that.” He shook his head.

“What do you mean?”

“I’m afraid I can’t let you leave.” He stepped back from me and shook his head again.

“What?” My jaw dropped as I looked at him uncertainly. “What do you mean?”

“I mean you will not be walking out of the front door today.”

“You can’t just stop me.” I sat up and tried to see if he was joking.

He gave me a short smile. “I can and I will. You need my help.”
