My head is in too much pain to come to any clear conclusion. I need a fucking pain pill! My arm is burning. My ribs hurt when I breathe. My stitches itch. All I want is for Luke to come get me and pull me back in his arms while he holds me so I can go back to sleep.

I don't think that will be happening anytime soon, though. Not unless Luke suddenly knows exactly where I am. And how the hell would he do that? Maybe he's out there right now looking for me? Maybe he called the cops. Maybe he calle

  • My New Boss Is My Brother's Best Friend   Gone

    "He might be," I admit what I've been thinking all morning along. "But I don't think I can prove it yet. So far, all I've got is circumstantial evidence. It doesn't matter anyway. I'm calling my own lawyer," I growl reaching for my phone.Declan answers the phone on the first ring."What can I do for you, Mr. Le Blanc?" Ever the professional. I can appreciate that.See? At least some people are actually loyal to me. My teams are all loyal to a fault. And I pay them well for it. I have come to expect nothing but excellence from all of them."Donavan's lawyer sent me something I need you to take a look at. Then I need you to file harassment charges, making it clear this is my company," I state, hitting forward on the document on my computer.I need a second opinion on what this actually is. The wording is messed up, and I don't want to touch it. I need to know the consequences of this statement before I decide to murder my cousin."I'll get right on it, sir," he responds. "I'll let you

  • My New Boss Is My Brother's Best Friend   Suspicions

    Tate's POVTo say this is not how I'd planned on spending my day is an understatement. I had planned on spending time with my little maid while I got her used to being with me.I wanted to spend some time recovering too. I might not be complaining about it, but my arm stings like hell, and I've got a stress headache that has me grinding my teeth, and even when I took my pain relievers the pain still doesn't go away!I would love to be holding my little Princess in my arms right now. I could just close my eyes and rest. Make us a nice lunch, prepare for the storm that is going to be knocking out power through whole city blocks very shortly.Instead, I'm at the police station filing a report on the two suspects who came into my hotel and though they could mess with me and my staff and get away with it. I don't know how the hell they are or why they thought they could get away with this, but they are going down.I have my suspicions. I think my cousin is in on this somehow... I just have

  • My New Boss Is My Brother's Best Friend   Getting Answers

    "I would be happy to show you around when the gardens are in bloom," I purr. I'm going to do my damnedest to have her stick around, and hopefully by then it will be a permanent thing.There is a beat of silence before she asks. "What's going on, Tate?"I love that she calls me by my name. That is also going to be a permanent thing."I don't know. I called Ben Jones and he's in my system right now. Someone put a glitch in my security system. I have no idea how attacked Benson. I haven't heard back from Mike and his team on who shot me either. The only attack I know the culprits for is yours," I state, still keeping an eye on the hacker.I can hear him cursing under his breath. If he can't figure out what the hell is going on with my system, then no one can.But I'm not giving up this easily. It doesn't look like Ben is discouraged, just pissed. He's going to push himself until he finds the answers I need. Good man!"Should I come back to work?" she asks softly."No! Fallon, I brought y

  • My New Boss Is My Brother's Best Friend   Phone Calls

    Tate's POV"B-But Mr. Le Blanc-" Janice whimpers, looking up at me with tears in her eyes. Fake or not, I don't give a shit. I just gave my final word."I said NOW!" I snarl at my ex-housekeeping manager. "I never want to see your face again! As for the rest of you, get back to work if you want to keep your jobs!"And just like magic, they scatter. I should've done this ages ago. I breathe a sigh of relief. I didn't know how good it felt to finally cut the wait out of my company. Victoria, Megan and Janice are all out of my hair. I call that a good start!I don't have time to sit around and chastise myself for my previous mistakes. Yes, they are all my mistakes, and so are many of the other maids I let seduce me for a quick fuck. Despite what people think, it's always the women perusing me; not the other way around.I take out my phone and dial."Yes?" came a gruff voice on the other end of the phone."Ben. It's Tate. Can Ares spare you for an hour or so. I've got a situation that nee

    "He's in your office," he responds."What the hell happened?""We are still working on that. Somehow our video surveillance of the whole damn building glitched, and we couldn't find a damn trace," he growls, probably just as frustrated at the lack of information as I am. Mike takes his responsibilities very seriously.I push through my office door and my stomach turns. Benson has a black eye, bloody lip and a bruise jaw. And that is only what I can see! He's got a bandage around his forehead, so an EMT must've been here before I could get here. I don't have any medical staff on my payroll, but with the number of assaults in the last few days I'm considering it."Benson, how are you feeling?" I ask, lowering myself in front the man lying on my couch, so we are eye level."Like I got the shit beat out of me," he grumbles.I chuckle. At least he still has his humor. "I'm so sorry, I didn't know this was going to happen," I huff. And that's the thing. Why the hell is this happening in the

  • My New Boss Is My Brother's Best Friend   Storms

    Tate's POVI sent Rex home for the day. NOT BECAUSE HE WAS FLIRTING WITH MY MAID! It was because I planned on doing all the cooking for my little Princess! And only that reason!I'm going to continue to tell myself it's the only reason until I believe the lie."You're dismissed for the day, Rex," I grumbled as Fallon raced upstairs to do... whatever it was she was going to do. Hopefully something she enjoys and not too stressful for her right now.The jerk just laughed at me! "Sure thing, boss," he chuckles, winking at me. "I'll be back in the morning, unless you decide to give me tomorrow off too! Just know I'm still charging you," he jokes.I grumble, stomping my way to my office. As much as I'd love to go upstairs and spy on my Princess, I do have some emails I need to do. And they really can't wait.Yes, I'm taking a working vacation. I own the hotel. Until I decide to sell it, I'll be working no matter where I am.First, I send an email to Benson, my front office manager, letting

    I tug his hair and pull his mouth up to my lips and we're suddenly battling for dominance as he takes my mouth in his. I didn't even know a kiss could feel this good. The whole world is spinning and is reduced down to me and Ares and tingles of pleasure he is sending through my body.I squeeze his h

    "Mar, I don't know how the hell Ben got those results, but they have to be fake. Unless he believes in immaculate conception. Until last night, I hadn't even had sex!" I huffed in annoyance.Marcie gasps dramatically. "I knew it! You've got that look in your eye. Like you've finally been fucked goo

    I blink the stupid tears away and give him a small smile.I don't pull away from him. I need his touch... Not to mention my legs still feel like they are going to disappear on me. I don't know if it was from the attempted rape, shock, or whatever the hell John drugged me with, but my entire body is

He coaxed me out in the most amazing way.He knew I was pulling away from him, and he put a stop to it. The man really is smarter than he looks... Or maybe he
