Maid To The Billionaire: The Tycoon's Love (Part Two) (Billionaire Romance) Read Free Page B

Reigns… both of them…” She had tears in her eyes and a smile on her face as she said, “It was the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen. You’ll just have to go up and take a look for yourself.”
     
    “Well now you’ve peaked my curiosity. It was so good to see you, Karen.”
     
    “You too, Miss…”
     
    “Karen?”
     
    “Yes?”
     
    “It’s Victoria or Vicki, just like it has always been.”
     
    She smiled, “It was good to see you, Vicki. Your son is beautiful.”
     
    “Thank you.”
     
    I went up the stairs and down the long hall towards the nursery. On my way there, I passed the master suite. The door was open and I glanced in. I was frozen to the spot, in awe of what I saw. Alex was lying on his big bed, shirtless. Baby Michael was lying on his chest in only a diaper. Alex had one hand resting protectively on the baby’s back. They were both asleep. It was literally the most beautiful sight I’d ever seen. I don’t know how long I stood there like that… I couldn’t draw myself away. My attention was suddenly drawn behind me where a middle aged lady was mopping the floor.
     
    “Oh hello.”
     
    She looked up at me and smiled. “Hello Miss. I’m Esther I don’t think we’ve met yet.”
     
    “Hi Esther, I’m Vicki.”
     
    She glanced in at what had me so captivated and said, “Oh my goodness, if that’s not the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen.”
     
    I smiled. “Me too,” I said. “I can’t seem to drag myself away.”
     
    “Don’t Miss. Just stand there watching them as long as you can. Before you know it, that little one will be grown with his own babies. My youngest just turned twenty-two.”
     
    “How many children do you have?” I asked her.
     
    “Two boys,” she smiled. Then suddenly she looked wistful and she said, “They didn’t have a daddy around. Your little one is lucky.”
     
    “Yes, he is.” She went on to do her work and I stood there looking at the two men I loved most in the world. She was so right. Michael was lucky and if it meant living here forever and watching Alex have relationships with other women… then that’s what I would do to ensure that he never had to be without his father.
     

 
    CHAPTER THREE

 
     
    ALEX
     
     
    I had the best time taking care of Michael while Victoria went to visit her friend. He was so alert to be so little and when I talked to him he stared up at me wide-eyed and looked like he was taking in every word. It was almost eerie to look down at eyes that were so similar to my own. The only difference between them was that his held an innocence that mine had long since lost.
     
    When he got hungry, I fed him the bottle that Vicki pumped before she left. He ate it like a champ and then we lay down on my bed to have a talk and he fell asleep on my chest. I didn’t have the heart to move him and before I knew it, I fell asleep too. When I woke up, Vicki was sitting by the bed watching us.
     
    “Hi, how long have you been home?”
     
    She shrugged. “An hour or so. I lost track of time watching the two of you.”
     
    I looked down at Michael. He was beginning to wake up, stretching and wiggling in that way newborns do. He amazed me like nothing in my life ever had. I would be eternally grateful to Vicki for giving him to me. “He’s something, isn’t he?”
     
    “He sure is.” I looked up at her and she was looking at me, not the baby. She smiled and then she stood up and scooped him off my chest. Holding him in one arm, she leaned down and pressed her lips to mine. It was a soft, sweet, intimate kiss… nothing that should have excited me too much… but it did. I found myself wanting her more and more with each day that passed, but I had to examine my feelings and make sure that this was about me wanting her and not me being grateful, or her just being convenient. She’s the mother of my son and she’s a good mother. The last thing I ever want to do is hurt her.
     
    “That was nice,” I told her.
