Together Forever: Billionaire Alpha Read Free Page B

the door closed. That’s exactly what she needed to do. If she could locate her center, it would help squash some of the raging insecurities of who she would have to be to keep a guy like Damon. Maybe it had nothing to do with working to keep him, but simply being herself and letting him be him.
    She moved out of the elevator as the door opened.
    Linda looked up from her desk and smiled. “Hey Bethany. We didn’t expect you today.”
    “Yeah, I just wanted to stop by and spread a little cheer to the boss-man. I hear he’s having quite a day.”
    “You could say that. He’s morphed into a large grizzly bear, so enter at your own risk.” She smiled and nodded toward the door. “He’s on the phone, but I’m sure he won’t mind you slipping in. Just be quiet if you can.”
    “Of course.” Bethany turned the knob carefully before slipping into the small crack she created. She closed the door and met eyes with Damon as he glanced up.
    He lifted his hand to warn her not to speak, his gaze almost aggressive.
    She nodded and moved to sit in one of the chairs surrounding the small table in the middle of his large office. His blue slacks fit him perfectly, his white shirt only helping to accent the darkness of his tan. How badly she wanted to be the one to button up his shirt in the morning and kiss him before he left for the day.
    And she would be.
    Their next steps were going to be to get to know each other better, get through their parents’ wedding and then she was going to push him to move in together. They were better for each other the more time they spent in the presence of the other. She would love to move into his house, but needed him to be the one that suggested it.
    “I know that, Patrick. Here’s the end result of this conversation. You pull your staff together and reiterate once more that the corporate office of McKenzie and Bryant has standards. If your staff isn’t willing to sign off on those rules and regulations and abide by them, then we have no use for their talents.”
    He paused and ran his fingers through his dark hair. Bethany set his coffee on the table next to her as her eyes moved across him. The swell of his pectoral muscles pushed at his shirt as he twisted a certain way. Just knowing what lay underneath all his clothing left her blood warming. Now wasn’t the time for a sexual intervention, but it sure sounded good.
    “I’m coming to Florida in two weeks and when I get there… this shit better be cleared up. You’re on your last warning. Tell me you understand clearly the objectives of the tasks I’ve given you and that you will be getting them done.”
    He moved out from behind his desk and walked toward the window. Reaching up, he pressed his hand to the glass and seemed to be looking out at the city. She couldn’t help but stare at the soft curve of his rear, her heart pounding a little harder in her chest as her desire spiked.
    “Good. Don’t fuck this up. I’m out of patience with you.”
    Damon pulled the phone from his ear and hit a button before turning and walking toward her. He let out a long sigh and stopped in front of her.
    Bethany stood up and slid her hands up his chest, pulling him down for a long kiss.
    He mumbled ‘yes’ before sliding his arms around her.
    She flattened herself against the front of him, loving every hard plane of him that pressed against her softness. She ran her fingers through his hair, scratching softly as he slid his tongue deep into her mouth. Pressing her teeth against his offering, she shifted her hips, rubbing herself against him.
    He broke the kiss, closing his eyes and pressing his forehead to hers. “How did you know that I needed that?”
    “I didn’t. I simply needed it.” She smiled as he opened his eyes, the dark orbs seeing far into the center of her soul.
    “Such a greedy little thing, aren’t you?” He nipped at her mouth before pulling back. Walking back to his desk, he tugged at his erection and growled at
