Free The Billionaire's Dance (Billionaire Bachelors - Book Two) by Melody Anne Page A

didn’t look as if he’d lost any sleep, she thought accusingly. In fact, he looked as if he’d never lost a night of sleep in his life. She was a little envious of him right then.
    “I slept great,” she lied. She refused to look up and make eye contact with him.
    Alex sat down across from her and Maria placed his coffee and food in front of him. “Thank you Maria,” he said. The conversation halted, while he dug into his breakfast.
    Alex was surprised by the punch of lust he was feeling. Jessica looked exhausted, obviously she hadn’t slept well. For that matter, he hadn’t slept well either. He was just hiding it a lot better than her. Even with circles under her eyes and dressed in such baggy clothes, she looked far sexier than any woman he’d ever seen. She had a natural appeal about her.
    Alex leaned over her to grab the salt and saw her eyes widen. Jessica almost gasped out loud. She wasn’t happy when she saw the knowing look come into his eyes. He knew how he affected her and he was already far too full of himself. She wouldn’t stroke his ego even more by letting him know how deeply he affected her.
    They ate in an awkward silence, while Jessica tried to regain her composure. She didn’t like how her world always seemed to stop turning whenever he was around her. She would bet objects would just naturally fall from the sky and land at his feet, if he commanded them to do so.
    “I have some work to do here in the home office. If you need anything, you can come and get me,” he finally spoke after several moments.
    Jessica simply nodded her head. She then rose from the table and headed toward the kitchen. There was a basinet off in the corner and her son was sleeping soundly. She smiled down at her precious baby.
    “Mrs. Anderson, if you’d like to lie down for a while, I would be more than happy to keep an eye on Jacob. You have several bottles already pumped if he wakes up hungry,” Tina said kindly.
    Jessica’s initial reaction was to refuse. But she wouldn’t be any good to him if she didn’t get some rest. There was a houseful of people more than willing and happy to help her. It wasn’t selfish to get a bit more rest.
    “Thank you Tina, I’ll take you up on your offer. Please wake me if you need anything.” Jessica placed a kiss on her son’s head and then headed back up the stairs. She climbed into bed and quickly fell into an exhausted sleep. She didn’t stir for four hours.
    When she woke, she felt disoriented. She wasn’t used to taking long naps and she panicked for a moment when she noticed the time. She quickly relaxed, knowing if there’d been any problems someone would’ve woken her.
    She climbed into the shower and washed the sleep away. Taking long showers was another luxury new mothers had to give up. She was always so paranoid Jacob would need her while she was showering and wouldn’t hear him. This was actually absurd, considering she knew how loud her son could get when unhappy about something.
    She got dressed and headed back down the stairs. She found Jacob in the living room with Alex. Her son was wide awake, making little grumbling noises at his father. Alex seemed to be transfixed. She watched them for a few minutes. The unguarded way her husband interacted with his son was something special to see. She knew she’d made the right choice in marrying him. He obviously loved Jacob immensely.
    She made a noise and he looked up to see her standing in the doorway. He quickly guarded his expression and she felt a bit let down. Their relationship wasn’t going to get any easier, anytime soon.
    “You have great timing,” Alex began, “our son was just telling me he wanted some food.” He smiled, as his eyes once again went to their son. Jessica walked closer to them and when Jacob noticed her, his noises escalated and his legs kicked out. He knew food was nearby and he was letting his mom know he wanted it.
    Jessica smiled, while bending down to pick Jacob up. Her
