Holiday Naughty: My Alpha Bad Boy Client
beliefs. I wasn't going to say
something to seek approval. Not from her. Not from anyone. I kept
my “everyday people” website development idea to myself.
     
    It was a billion dollar idea and I already
had an offer for almost ten million to sell the beta program and
the patent.
     
    But I could have cared less about the money.
I cared if she really did give a damn. I cared if she would love me
unconditionally.
     
    I was obsessed with testing that with every
woman I was interested in. I was giving Beth the most rigorous test
I could dream up.
     
    Would she look past the myth to see the
man?
     
    It was up to her because I wasn't going to
go out of my way to sell her on anything. Not a chance.
     
    “It's your call on that. That's why they put
you in charge,” I said, making sure she knew I was unconcerned
about it either way.
     
    “I got you something,” I said changing the
subject.
     
     
    “A fruit cake?” She smiled and shook her
head. “I got you something too. Look outside. A snowman just like
my sweater. I used some olives to make the silly smile.”
     
    I was so into her and couldn't take it
anymore. I had her in my arms and the tenseness of moments before
was gone.
     
    “Not the paper. Tyler no!”
     
    I pushed aside a couple of carefully
organized piles of paper sitting on his desk.
     
    Her dress was off and her panties pealed to
the side before I could say another word of protest.
     
     

Chapter 25-- Beth
     
    He was animal and there was primal intensity
to the way he attacked my pussy on that desk. First with his mouth,
then his fingers, then his massive cock.
     
    I yanked at his shirt, hoping to see that
sculpted chest above me as he rapid fired inside my hot box.
     
    But I lost control of my arms. I let them
flop down to my side. He gripped both my hands with his, in a show
of gentle love amid the wild torrid pounding. It was wild, chaotic,
and totally breathtaking.

    “You've given me the greatest gift of all.
You want me for me and never asked for anything return. I've never
felt so free,” Tyler said to me on Christmas afternoon.
     
    We fucked one more time as the sun went
down. I crawled out of bed and saw water dripping outside from
above the windows.
     
    I looked back at my gorgeous perfect lover
sleeping soundly in his bed.
     
    I didn't know where we would end up. But my
plan wasn't changing. I had to go back to Florida. I'd put too much
into my goal to turn back now.
     
    I gathered my red cocktail dress, shoes, and
overcoat from the guest room. I returned to his bedroom And for one
final look. He was still sleeping soundly and still in the same
position. He was my fantasy, but that was all he was. And reality
called.
     
    I grabbed his cell phone. I needed a
taxi.
     
     
     

Chapter 26-- Tyler
     
    I heard noises from the front foyer
area.
     
    I ran downstairs and saw her walk out the
door. She carried a few folders in her right hand.
     
    “Beth?”
     
    She turned and looked, acting surprised
     
    “Do you love me? I'll stay if you do,” she
said.
     
    I felt like I was going to erupt. Bullshit.
It was total bullshit.
     
    “What does that mean? We could have a good
thing going here,” I trudged down the last few stairs to meet her
at the open door.
     
    “Brad wouldn't tell me he did either,” she
said before slamming the door behind her.
     
    I felt dead on my feet.
     
    She had made me feel like every moment was
the most wildly exciting thing in the world. But I wasn't going to
lie and say what she wanted to hear just to get what I wanted. It
was against everything I believed to be right.
     
     

Chapter 27--Beth
     
    Tyler was right.
     
    I was assured I was going to be partner. All
my dreams came true. And then some.
     
    When I got back to my hotel, Andrew was
there.
     
    When he told me the news that I was voted a
yes and it was because of my fine work on the West Estate, we
kissed on the lips. I thought I was thanking him. But I also still
had
