Free Billionaire On Fire: The Complete Series (A Bad Boy Alpha Billionaire Romance) by Claire Adams

men who seem like they would be good at
taking care of your needs. Don't shy away from those guys."
    "You make it sound so
easy," I said as I picked up a sweet potato fry and popped it in my mouth.
"It's not always so clear cut. Plus, I don't want a guy I like to think
I'm easy."
    "Oh, please, give me a
break," she said rolling her eyes. "I'm sick and tired of that double
standard that says that men always want sex and women are just waiting for Mr.
Right. That's bullshit, and you know it. This is the twenty-first century;
we're allowed to have sex when and where we want to so long as it's safe, sane
and consensual."
    "Where do you learn
these things, Liz?" I laughed. "It's like you've been studying sex
and writing lectures."
    "Maybe I have
been," she said grinning as she finished the food on her plate and gave me
a mischievous grin. "I want ice cream. Let's go get some!"
    We stopped at Jenny's for
scoops of the infamous Salted Caramel ice cream and Liz gave me her lecture of
responsible sexual behavior. She had some good points, and by the time she had
finished, I was fairly sure that I'd convinced myself that sex with Cam Connor
was a stellar idea.
    "Oh shit," Liz said
as we were finishing up our treats. "Here comes the human wrecking ball
and her two chains."
    "Well, fancy seeing you
two here," Violet said with a smile that told me she wasn't at all glad to
see either of us. As usual, she was impeccably dressed and not a hair was out
of place. "I would have thought you'd be at the library studying given
your performance on the last test, Baker."
    "Yeah, well, I believe
in taking my chances rather than jamming my nose up the professor's ass to
ensure my grade," Liz shot back. Violet and her friends gasped before
frowning disapprovingly. I wondered if they practiced the expressions so that
they could do it in unison.
    "I don't have to brown
nose, Baker," Violet sniffed. "I received a good education, unlike
some people."
    "Yes, Violet, we're all
very aware of the fact that your daddy has more money than God and can buy you
the best of everything," Liz said licking her spoon obscenely sending a
shock wave through the small group yet again. "It's really too bad he
couldn't invest some of that money in a personality or a soul for you."
    "You're a terrible
person," Jessica Watkins hissed as she grabbed Violet's arm and tried to
pull her away from the table.
    "No, I'm really
not," Liz said. "It's you three who are terrible. You are petty, mean
and small little girls who bully everyone. You just don't like me because I'm
not intimidated by you. Go on, now, shoo. We're done here."
    Violet, Jessica and Lydia all
shot nasty looks at Liz before turning back toward the counter.
    "You think that was a
good idea?" I asked as I raised an eyebrow and tipped my head
questioningly.
    "Screw them," Liz
said waving a hand in the girls' general direction. "I'm tired of their
bullying tactics and I'm sick of everyone cowing to them. I'll take my
chances."

    " Engine One, Truck One, Ambulance Fifty-Five, apartment fire on Jackson and Halsted.
Residents trapped on the upper floors."
    "Let's go, guys!"
Mike yelled as he raced to the truck and swung himself up in the driver's seat.
Danny and I were in next as the guys raced for the truck knowing we'd need the
ladder. We hit the street and Mike cranked up the siren as we sped toward our next
call.
    I was quiet on the ride as I
thought about what Victor had said up in the bunkroom, and wondered if he
really did have something connecting me to CSC. I tried to come up with an
explanation for it in case he did, but all of my ideas fell flat. There was no
way to explain to the guys I worked with that I had more money than all of them
combined, and it would be even harder to explain why I'd hidden it from them
for so long. The best option would be to keep the business undercover and not
have
