Alpha Billionaire, Part I (Alpha Billionaire #1)(14)

“What?” I frowned. “I don’t need your help. What the f**k are you talking about?” I could feel the blood draining from my face. “I want to leave now.”

“Denial is not a good thing, Evie, if your real name is Evie.”

“What?” My jaw dropped as I stared at him, my heart beating fast. “What are you talking about?”

“Your body was so open to me last night. Did you enjoy making love?” Grant’s smile was as handsome as ever, but now I saw behind the facade. The look in his eyes was hollow as he gazed at my body and I wondered what was going on.

“We had a fun night, yes.” I nodded and pulled the sheets up around me. Asking him about Eugenie had been a mistake. Coming here had been a mistake. Now I was beginning to understand why I’d never had a one-night stand before. I closed my eyes for a few seconds to try and gather my thoughts. Then it hit me. I’d call a cab. I didn’t care how much it cost. I just needed to get out of here. I grabbed the sheet and pulled it around my body as I jumped out of the bed.

“What are you doing?” He frowned as I walked over to my bag and took my phone out.

“I’m going to call a cab. If Tyler is busy today, I don’t want to disturb him.” I offered him a weak smile and opened my phone quickly.

“No, Evie. You’re not calling a cab.” He shook his head. “I just told you, you’re not leaving.”

“You want me to stay another night? I didn’t realize I was that good.” I joked, hoping that this wasn’t turning into a nightmare situation.

“We’ll talk later.” He shook his head. “Go and shower and get dressed.” He walked to his closet. “Here’s a pair of shorts and a top you can wear. They should fit you. No need to put on any underwear. I don’t think the clothes will be on very long.”

“I don’t think that’s a good idea.” I shook my head as he handed me the clothes. “I’m sure you have plans today and so do I.”

“Don’t you want to stay, Evie? Don’t you want to make the five grand?”

“You know what, it’s fine.” I mumbled. “I’d feel bad taking the money now.” I lied. I still wanted the five grand, but I wasn’t about to say that now. Not when he was starting to act like a psycho. I knew it was smarter for me to just leave and forget the money. I’d chalk it up to a lesson learned and kill Hailey when I got in. I was never going to do her any favors again.

“Don’t lie to me, Evie.” He shook his head. “I know you want the money.” He laughed.

“Last night was about more than money.” I watched as he took his hardness into his hands and started rubbing his cock.

“Take your sheet off.” His eyes glazed over as he stared at me. “You’re just so sexy.”

“What are you doing?” I could feel my body starting to warm as it was starting to anticipate sex. I was annoyed at myself for feeling turned on by this man, when my brain was still trying to figure out if he was crazy.

“Something I’d rather you be doing.” He walked towards me. “With your mouth.” He grinned as he stopped in front of me. “Will you pleasure me with your mouth, Evie?”

“I don’t—” I started when we heard a knock on the door.

“Yes.” Grant sounded annoyed as Tyler walked into the room. “Can we help you?”

“I wasn’t sure if you got my text sir, you have a very important call in the study.” Tyler’s voice was monotone and he stood there for a few seconds staring at me, before looking at Grant again. “Shall I tell them you’re too busy?”

“No.” Grant shook his head. “It’s fine.” His hand dropped from his c**k and he walked over to his closet and pulled out a robe and walked out of the room without saying anything to me. I stood there awkwardly staring at Tyler, who didn’t appear to be shocked at all that his boss had been standing in front of him naked.

“Are you okay?” He looked at me with clouded eyes and I wasn’t sure if he felt sorry for me or he thought I was an idiot.

“Do you think you can give me a ride home?” I asked him hopefully. “I’ll be ready in a minute. Just need to put my clothes on.”

“No.” He shook his head. “I only take my orders from Grant.”

“Please.” I pleaded with him. “I just want to go home now.”

“Long night?” He tilted his head and looked at the rumpled sheets.

“That’s none of your business.” My body flushed as I gazed at him, lecturing myself internally. You are not attracted to this man.

“No, it’s not.” He nodded his head in agreement.

“I asked him about Eugenie.” I bit my lower lip and Tyler’s face looked worried. “He was upset. I guess she broke his heart.”

“Yes, she did.” He looked at me with narrowed eyes.

“I guess they were truly in love.” I continued. “Maybe they’ll get back together one day?”

“Highly unlikely.” He shook his head and walked back towards the door to leave.

“Why?” I asked quickly, not wanting him to go.

“Eugenie’s dead.” He looked at me directly in the eyes and sighed. “So unless there’s a way to come back from the grave, I don’t think he’ll ever be seeing her again.”

“What happened to her?” I gasped and ran to him, my heart beating fast. Why oh why had I taken that job last night?

“Like I said last night, you don’t want to know.”

“Please.” I grabbed his shirt and he froze before pushing me back into the wall. He grabbed my hands and pushed them back and pushed his body against mine so that I couldn’t move.

“You have no idea what you’ve gotten yourself into, Evie Johnson. You have no idea at all.” He whispered the words against my lips and his blue eyes flashed at me as he stared down at my scared face. “There’s no one here to save you.”

“What about you?” I whispered, my breathing heavy as I licked my lips nervously.

“I might be even worse than the monster you’re already with.” His tongue lightly licked my lips as he spoke in a deep tone, pressing himself into me harder. “You should have listened to me last night. This might be one game with two wolves. The question is, are you ready to play with both of us?”
