okay, I understand. I barely have time for fun myself so I can see where you’re coming from.”
The room seems to stand still as I watch him place his lips on the glass.
I’m jealous.
All I can think of is those luscious lips wrapped around my nipples, doing the same thing.
Just the thought shoots tingles all through my body, and I shake my head to rid myself of the image.
I try to focus on what he’s saying.
“So you’re a little uptight, huh? If you are, it’s cool, because my friends think that I’m a little uptight as well. They’re a lot more free-spirited than me, though, so I’m sure that has a lot to do with it.”
He laughs. “No, not uptight. I just work a lot. And I do mean a lot. Tonight was one of my rare days with a free moment, and I just wanted get away from it all. I can see that I chose the best place to be.”
“Same here. I’m a whole lot of work and not a lot of play. I’ve always been like that. But I know that it will pay off big in the end, so I’m not worried about it at all.”
“Touché,” he says as he raises his glass.

I sip from my drink and keep my eyes on the woman I am buying drinks for.
She’s beautiful.
Actually, beautiful is an understatement: she is absolutely gorgeous.
From the moment she stepped through the door, I knew I wanted to get to know her. I needed to wait and see first if she had come there with a boyfriend because I didn’t want any problems.
But when I realized she was alone, I decided to make my move.
The good thing about this was she didn’t even seem to know who I was.
Most women know who I am.
It’s a curse.
I am a magnet for gold diggers - being a billionaire does that.
After all, I’m Alexander Hudson, land development extraordinaire.
I love taking a piece of property and making it into something profitable.
I started with a five-thousand dollar investment and had more than doubled that within my first year of doing business.
No one really believed that I could do it.
Not my father, grandparents, or anyone in my family, for that matter.
Mom would have believed in me. I know that.
But she didn’t live long enough to watch me grow.
The only person who believed in me was the guy I was washing dishes for at the time, and now we both were living the high life.
He held a ten percent stake in the company and he wasn’t doing bad.
Everyone in my family now constantly have their hands out; and unfortunately, I’m not all that charitable.
Especially since they had laughed in my face when I needed the investment.
I know it isn’t right, but they needed to know that I wasn’t going to easily forget their rejection. Family was supposed to believe in you no matter what, yet they were the ones who turned on me the quickest.
I shrug the thoughts off and focus on the woman in front of me—she was way more pleasant to think about.
She’s smiling at me with the cutest dimples.
I want to know everything about her.
I must say that if she keeps looking at me like that, she could get anything she wanted.
“Tell me something about yourself,” I say, breaking the silence. It was getting kind of awkward, and I didn’t want to make her feel uncomfortable.
She takes a sip of her drink and looks at me. “Like what? What do you want to know? I’m an open book. Well, not exactly…”
“Hmm… did you go to college?” I ask. I like intelligent women.
“Yeah, I sure did. I have a degree in business management. I’m the first person in my family to actually go to college and make something of herself. All my brothers dropped out of high school with the exception of one, but he’s not doing anything—unless you call sitting on the couch playing Call of Duty being productive. And my sister, well…to do what she does, you don’t exactly need skills …except for working a pole and taking off your clothes at the same
