The Billionaire's Fake Date
The sexy one night stand I had last night is now my billionaire boss. He’s older and his chiseled body made for a night to remember. As a boss it’s a different story. A workaholic to the bone, he’s also a complete bosshole at work. One day he approaches me with a personal request. He needs me to be his fake girlfriend to get his mom off his case about settling down. I take the offer to help him out as his trusted employee. The problem is we can’t keep our hands off each other when we’re alone. His insatiable appetite for my body sends me over the edge. He’s sweet and warm when we’re pretending but cold and distant when we’re not. He doesn’t realize yet that I’m falling for him for real. I must find out if he will succumb to true love and claim me as his forever.

"My dad," I sighed. "He broke his promise. He called me in the middle of the night, and he was drunk."
"I'm sorry," she said, sympathetically. "That must have been hard to witness after he promised you he will be clean."
"It's just the same thing, over and over again," I buried my face in my hands. "Every time I believe he will make some progress, he is back to square one."
"Do you think he just does this to get a reaction out of you?"
My head shot up and I looked at her with a quizzical expression. "He's killing himself, Kathy. He has a problem."
"I am not denying that" she conceded softly. "But I meant... I mean, what else explains why he would call you when he is in that state? Maybe he wanted to hear some words of reassurance from you. Did you give him that?"
"I hung up on him," I admitted, pushing down the guilt I felt.
"I see," she frowned. "Maybe the best approach would have been to listen to him."
