More Than a Billionaire Read Free Page B

step in and save him, but she did find Alexa’s ability to come on to anything with a penis fascinating to watch. She, herself, had never mastered even the most basic aspects of flirting. Her neighbor, however, appeared to have a doctorate in it.
    “I’m sure the show is great, but I plan to spend most of my time with family on this visit,” Gray answered, a polite smile pasted on his face.
    Alexa ran a finger down Gray’s cheek, the bright pink nail polish almost blinding Kiera. “I’m free now if you want to come up. I’ll give you a sneak peek at my dance.”
    Kiera ground her teeth together to keep the disgust from escaping. She seriously couldn’t believe men fell for Alexa.
    “Actually, I’m having lunch with a friend.” Gray glanced at the stairs. “Hey, Kiera. Ready to go?”
    Even with an exotic dancer almost groping him, Gray sounded unaffected, so maybe not all men fell under Alexa’s spell.
    “Ready.” She smiled even more when Alexa’s mouth dropped open.
    “Great.” Gray took her hand and always the proper gentleman, he looked at Alexa again. “Have a nice day.”
    Kiera struggled to keep from looking over her shoulder as they walked out. Alexa’s gaze was on her back, and Kiera feared she’d find burns marks in that spot later on.
    “You have some, shall we say, interesting neighbors.” Gray led her to a two-door Mercedes in the parking lot, and opened the door for her.
    “I don’t know why you’d say that. She’s well liked by the men in the building. And she must have really liked you. She doesn’t offer free shows to just anyone.”
    Gray shot her a dirty look. “She’s not my type.” He closed the door before she could say anything else.
    He slid behind the wheel, then pulled out of the parking lot. “Trent told me about a great Indian restaurant near his office. Is that okay for lunch?”
    “Sounds good.”
    During the car ride from Lincoln to Providence, they talked about the wedding that weekend and the weather, of all things. So far, the winter that year had been brutal. By the time they reached the restaurant, they’d both agreed that they didn’t know why their families didn’t relocate to more tropical locations where the only ice to be found was in the kitchen freezer.
    “I don’t remember the last time I had Indian food,” Gray said as a host led them to a table.
    She’d eaten at the popular Indian restaurant a few times since she’d moved back to Rhode Island. Each time she did, she ordered the same thing, so while Gray studied his menu, she studied him. He resembled his older brother Trent so much that people might confuse the two of them, but Gray’s dirty blond hair was a shade darker and his eyes were a shade lighter than his brother’s Sherbrooke blue.
    Man, she’d forgotten just how gorgeous Gray was. Sure, she’d seen pictures of him in the past few years, but the pictures didn’t do him justice.
    “Are you ready to order?” a waiter asked, appearing at their table and disrupting her careful examination.
    “Did you already decide on something?” Gray looked up from his menu.
    “I always get the same meal here.”
    “Then I guess we’re ready.” Gray handed over his menu. “For an appetizer, we’ll have the aloo chaat, and for my entrée, I’ll have the chole bhature.”
    “Excellent choice, sir.”
    Kiera placed her order, and once the waiter walked away, she turned her full attention back to Gray.
    “Did you hang around your father’s and gorge yourself on my dad’s cooking yesterday?” She’d known Gray her entire life and had never been uncomfortable around him—at least until this afternoon. She didn’t know why she was now, and she didn’t like it.
    The smile Gray gave her before answering didn’t help matters. “Tempting idea, but no. I’m staying at Trent’s apartment since he’s on his honeymoon. I’m stopping at my dad’s for dinner on Thursday and I’m looking forward to it.”
    “I can’t get used to the
