Free The Playboy Billionaire (The Romero Brothers, Book 3) by Shadonna Richards Page B

sexiness,
his delicious scent, his gorgeous features and strong, tall athletic body.
    He was like something out of a magazine, a
Hollywood blockbuster action film or something, but not real life. Yet the
feelings that pulsed through her body being with him, so close to touch, were
mind-blowing. He made her feel giddy with lust all of a sudden.
    Blue’s crazy ex-boyfriend, Elliot, her
former colleague at Channel 31 News, never had that kind of effect on her.
There was never any spark, one she’d always read about, with Elliot. She really
liked him then. Sure, he was a fair kisser and she enjoyed being around him when
they’d first started dating, until she realized that he was a real actor, not a
journalist. The guy turned out to be a creep, an emotionally abusive, jealous
dude who didn’t want her to have any friends. He’d always criticized her weight
and told her to lose her "baby fat" and she’d be fine. Her friends at
the station warned her that he was seeing other people and she never believed
it until she saw it with her own eyes. She’d caught him necking a fellow co-worker
in the lunchroom after hours when most people had left the office.
    When she tried to end it with him, he
turned all crazy on her. Kept calling her and hanging up,
telling her co-workers all sorts of crazy lies.
    Blue shuddered at the thought. The past was
the past. It was dead and gone. Why bring up a dead memory to haunt the
present?
    Blue was so past that. She had learned to
move on earlier. A bit of Yoga and positive thinking exercises really helped
pulled her through it all. Of course, the last draw was the cell phone recorder
fiasco that cost her a job at the station but now she realized it was a
blessing in sweet disguise. She’d never been happier to be her own boss,
however challenging it was at times.
    Blue remembered reading somewhere in one of
her self-help books about when you keep on the positive side of things, you realize nothing happens to you, it happens for
you. She wanted to believe that the universe would be good to her. She’d been through so much painful hell , it
was insane . Losing her parents still caused her heart to ache as if
someone had taken a knife to her and left it impaled in her chest.
    Think positive, Blue.
    She gazed at the cars speeding past her on
the road, the trees whizzing by as she drove 80 km per hour in this zone.
    Count
your blessings, not your troubles , she reminded
herself.
    She was blessed to have sought gainful
employment in this tough economy. That was a miracle. And this project would be
the best thing to boost her business upward, not to mention the credibility it
would lend to her business as word got around of her documentary on one of the
most prominent families and businesses in the province.
    In short, the universe had provided a much needed way out for her at the nick of time. Courtney’s
tuition was coming up. Not to mention paying off loans and taking care of her
parents’ affairs since they did not have adequate insurance. She was also able
to come up with the rent for at least the next twelve months. Maybe she could
even manage scraping together a down payment to finally own her own home.
Courtney could have more room for herself, too. It sure was a challenge being
cooped up in the little apartment with her young adult sister. But finally,
there was hope. A new beginning. A chance
to set things right.
    Thank
you, Universe.
    Thank
you, Mr. Romero.
    Blue surprised herself when her mind
drifted again. She had a vision of Zack Romero. She was alone with him in the
most fascinating penthouse suite. He was moving his hand slowly down her back
making her dizzy with unbridled excitement. Her nipples strained through her
bra while he slowly undressed her like James Bond did in one of the earlier
movies, smooth and suave. Her dress was on the floor before she knew it and she
stood before him as he delighted in her body. He then lowered his head to hers
and pressed his luscious lips to
