THEON

Panic slammed into me like an enraged bull, making me wonder what exactly it was about Alina that appealed to me so much I lost my damn mind.

I forced the emotions that churned in my guts to slow down. “What's wrong with her?“

“Not denying that she's your girlfriend anymore, huh? Good to know.“

On a different day, I would've laughed at Grandpa's teasing, but not today. Today, all I wanted to do was… I didn't even know what I wanted to do.

“We both know she's not. Plus, you're too stubborn to argue with.“

At that, he laughed. “She's been in a lot of pain all morning. If I didn't know any better, I'd think it's thanks to you breaking her heart this morning by being a jackass.“

“I'm sure she can handle it. She's a nurse.“ The anger that overwhelmed me earlier came back to replace the worry Grandpa had caused. If anyone should have a broken heart between us, it was me.

But my heart wasn't broken. Only my pride was chipped, and maybe my sanity was tried a little bit, too. The point w

  • My Billionaire Rebound   CAME A BIT CLOSE

    ALINAMy head was still in all the wrong places as I walked into the hospital this morning. Thankfully, Theon had let me off the hook when I returned from the restroom, feigning a headache and wanting to go home.Bits and pieces of that conversation with the stranger, whose name I still didn't know, found their way into my mind every time I tried to settle into a task that should be familiar. "Are you okay?" Tati's voice called from behind me, causing me to startle.My palm was to my chest as I turned to face her. "Jeez! You scared me."She eyed me closely, as if she was trying to read the thoughts in my head through my eyes."What the hell is going on with you? You look like you've seen a ghost, or been to hell and back, or both." Her voice lowered in a whisper. "Is everything alright between you and Theon? Did something happen at the gala?"I shook my head, contemplating on whether or not I should tell her about the issue on my mind."Marcus," Sarah, one of our fellow nurses, calle

  • My Billionaire Rebound   STRANGER DANGER?

    ALINA There wasn't a single thought about where we were or how inappropriately we held onto and savored each other.My moan was hot and desperate. The sound made Theon pull me even closer, his arms around me tightening like steel bands around me.A throat clearing behind us forced us to pull apart, begrudgingly might I add."I love the show, but I don't think it's appropriate for the audience." It was Theon's cousin, the one I'd been dancing and laughing with just moments before Theon pulled me away. His head leaned against mine, a heavy breath falling past his nostrils before he opened his eyes."What's up, Bryon?" He asked.I expected his voice to be gruff, I was without a doubt that mine would be, but instead he sounded put together, maybe even detached from the emotions that were threatening to consume me.Bryon laughed. "I don't think I've ever seen you jealous, bro. It's quite a good look on you."My head was still placed against his chest, partly from embarrassment. The othe

  • My Billionaire Rebound   IT'S GETTING HEATED

    THEON“We don’t really need one. All we have to do is act like we’re enamored with each other and we’re good to go.”The way she focused on the window instead of me left a gap in my chest, but maybe it was for the best that we maintained this distance. We were both unready to delve into the full heat of a relationship, and I was…“We’re here, Sir.” Our driver for the night announced. I nodded my head at him and unclasped my fingers from around Alina’s. She finally turned back to look at me and I offered her a smile that was at most just polite.“Are you ready to wow them tonight?”Her lips tipped in the ghost of a smile, but every feature of her face was soaked in nerves.“There’s no reason to be nervous,” I encouraged her. “They’re going to love you.”“You don’t know that,” she whispered back, as if she was scared the throngs of photographers just on the other side of the car would be able to hear her if she spoke any louder.“You want me to do something to help you feel less nervou

  • My Billionaire Rebound   NOSY NOSY

    THEONThe door to my office creaked open slowly, after I had ignored the knocking that came from it for the third time. I already had an idea who it was, but that didn’t stop me from rolling my eyes as Ava's head popped in through the small space.“For how long do you plan on hiding out here?”She stepped into the office and clicked the door shut behind her. She knew I didn't want to talk right now, it was pretty much apparent from the look on my face, but that didn't stop her from dropping onto the sofa at the other end of the room and plopping her heeled feet on the armrest.I decided to not give her a response, but when has that ever deterred Ava?“Look, Theon, the grouch thing is only appealing for so long, and believe me, you’ve already exceeded the limit for that.”I raised my head, locking my eyes on hers. “Good thing I wasn’t trying to seem appealing to you.”She rolled her eyes. “You know damn well that I'm not referring to myself.”“Do I?” I mumbled.I didn’t want to have th

  • My Billionaire Rebound   REGRETS

    ALINARegret suckerpunched me, knocking all the breath out of me as soon as those words left my mouth. He didn't deserve that. I knew he was just trying to help, but…Theon's face became a blank mask, all his emotions under lock and key except for the blaze in his eyes.“I suppose that’s because you believe you’ve got it covered?” His tone was chilly.“Theon, I… Can we talk about this somewhere else?”He shook his head, a bitter smile on his lips. “No. You’re right, you don’t need my help.”A bitter taste exploded in my mouth as he turned and strolled away. I should apologize to him, tell him that I didn't mean those words. I was just scared, and the presence of my superior wasn’t making it any better.“Nurse. Stone,” Dr. Nolan spoke up for the first time since I interrupted their exchange.I turned to him after schooling my expression into one of professionalism. “Yes, Dr?”“Can I have a word with you in my office?”I nodded and swallowed hard. If the look on his face was any indicat

  • My Billionaire Rebound   FLAMES!

    THEONThe words that were being uttered at the meeting seemed to be flying over my head. All I could picture was how good Alina had looked standing in my closet with absolutely nothing on, and her eyes shining with annoyance while her hair spread above her like a canopy.It had taken every ounce of control I possessed to not bend her over the drawer and have my fuck some compliance into her, the woman was fraying every one of my last nerves. If the look in her eyes was any indication, she wouldn’t have minded either.“Mr. Murphy?” The sound of my name forced me back into the present.I shook my head and offered the Chinese tycoon a pleasant smile. “My apologies, I got a bit distracted.”He nodded like he understood and repeated himself.“The Chinese market is increasing infrastructurally, and if I'm going to partner with an American company to match that speed, you’d have to be precise and reliable. No excuses. If Murphy Holdings can deliver both speed and quality, we may be looking a
