Pleasing Him: The Complete Series (An Alpha Billionaire Romance) by Amanda Scott Page B

adjusted the lingerie she was wearing so that it at least it covered her underwear.
    Colton’s eyes had shifted for sure. She had no idea what happened, but for whatever reason he was no longer interested in having sex with her.
    I should be relieved , she thought. This is actually a blessing , she tried to convince herself.
    “I’ll bring you some more suitable clothes later. I want you to get started.”
    Her eyes widened as she stared at the laptop. “For real? You want me to start doing something even though you haven’t told me a single thing about what it is I’m supposed to be doing?”
    Colton raised both of his brows. “I don’t have time for complaining. You sent me that content for a reason, because somewhere inside that soul of yours you know that you were born to write. Now write.”
    She shook her head as she spoke, “No, I sent you that because I was desperate. Because you took away my job. Because I lost my mind.”
    He forced a smile as he reached for her hand. She closed her eyes for a split second as their flesh met yet again. “Taylor, look at me,” he said, sabotaging her attempt to avoid the task at hand. “You can do this.”
    Her eyes finally softened as she looked down at the laptop, then back up at the author himself. “What do you expect me to do?”
    He nodded his head up and down. “Are you ready for the truth?”
    She swallowed hard before answering. The truth was, she didn’t think she really was ready for the truth. If she was being totally honest, she wasn’t really ready for any of this.
    “Hit me,” she said.
    He smirked, and she knew right away from the way he was looking at her that he was about to say something that could possibly change her life forever.
    “I expect you to help me right the bestselling series of all time,” he said.
    She squinted her eyes and tilted her head ever so slightly to the side. “Excuse me?”
    His eyes narrowed as he repeated himself. “I expect you to help me write the highest selling book ever published in the history of fiction.”
    She rubbed the side of her ear in a desperate attempt to quell her own nervousness. “Me?”
    “Yes, you Taylor. Taylor Ward, known to nobody, will soon become a household name.”
    She cleared her throat. “Okayy. And how do you suppose that’s going to happen?”
    Colton looked out the window of the barren room, then back at Taylor. “One word at a time.”
    She shook her head somewhat frantically. Then he lifted up her chin with his finger, forcing her eyes to meet with his.
    Taylor was convinced that he had lost his mind.
    But her bucket of options had already tipped over and rolled out of sight the moment she lost her family, her job, and her apartment.
    “I guess I have no choice,” she said meekly.
    Something flickered in his gaze. She wondered if he still wanted her body, or if he had suddenly moved on from her in that way. How else could he have just pulled the plug on their foreplay like that?
    Focus, Taylor .
    There were bigger fish to fry right now. If Colton was serious about them writing together… if he wasn’t totally nuts, or just using her for some dark, twisted desire of his, then she better stand up straight and start paying real close attention.
    Controversial or not, he was a one-man literary powerhouse.
    “Okay, one word at a time it is. What do you want me to start with?” she asked innocently.
    He burst into laughter as he ran his hands across his own rippled abs.
    Taylor raised an eye. “I really wasn’t trying to be funny. I have no clue what I’m supposed to do.”
    Colton pulled out the desk chair and gestured for her to sit. Without exchanging any words together, she immediately did as his hands suggested and sat down in the black office chair. The billionaire pushed her in closer so that she was positioned perfectly at the desk.
    “Now close your eyes,” he said deeply.
    “Another one of your blindfold maneuvers?” she asked.
    He chuckled. “No, that would be
