Page 28 of Seduced By a Billionaire

He sounded slightly unsure of himself which was totally at odds from what she’d come to expect from Kyle.

“I suppose. We both have to eat. Why would this evening be any different than the last three?”

“Good. Thank you.”

“Yep.”

“You’ll have to help me get dressed. Rich will be off for the day.”

Her eyes narrowed as she considered his statement, “Okay…I am your nurse, it’s not my first rodeo. I think I can manage.”

“Just sayin,” he replied, giving her a lopsided grin. “After the other day, our conversation, I thought it might be hard for you.”

Haughtily she said, “As you so eloquently put it, you’re paying me the big bucks.”

“Ella, listen,” he began only to be interrupted.

“Dinner between nurse and patient, not to be confused with a date. Got that?”

“Loud and clear. How much longer are you going to punish me?” Kyle said quietly.

“Oh trust me, I’m not punishing you, this is the new normal.”

“I don’t believe you.”

“Suit yourself, believe what you want to believe. I don’t care.”

“What if I beg for your forgiveness?”

“Forgive what? According to you there is nothing to forgive. I should be grateful.”

“Ella, come on, we were both heated, I’ve had time to think about it…”

Ella raised her eyebrows, “And?”

“I didn’t mean anything by it. I was trying to do us both a favor.”

“Really Kyle? That’s what you’ve “thought about” and that’s the best you could come up with?”

“What is that supposed to mean?”

“If I have to spell it out for you, it doesn’t amount to much.”

“Ella, I’m trying to apologize.”

“You’re failing miserably.”

“You’re being unreasonable. Why am I not surprised?” Kyle said unable to maintain his cool.

“Save it for someone who cares. A leopard can’t change his spots.”

“Ouch!”

She glared at him and marched into the house to get his meds. Maybe she could round up a little laxative to slip into his drink. She smiled wickedly to herself. A girl could fantasize.

As she bent over to help him, she caught him staring at her breasts. Heat flooded her cheeks and she was infuriated at becoming aroused. She decided to ignore him and the tingling between her legs.

Ella slipped on a coverup and went inside to shower and get dressed. Other than her patient and her conflicting emotions, this job was so easy she almost felt guilty. Almost…except for the factthat herbosswas a billionaire who had coerced her into taking the job in the first place. She would happily take full advantage of this situation,thank you very much.
