“It matters because of my second request. My organization is in the position to purchase more skilled nursing facilities this year and the board of my corporation feels that it will be more marketable to investors and sellers if I was married with a family instead of a single playboy that took over his business after a life of drug dealing to become a multimillionaire soon to be billionaire. It makes no sense to me but they seem to think that the families that run this industry feel better selling to a family-oriented company.”

“What does that have to do with me?” I asked again, even more confused. No matter how fine my boss was, he was starting to make me think he was slightly throwed off.

“I need a family and you are single with a child. From what I found out, you are trustworthy, a hard worker, loyal, and a good mother. Also, your daughter's father is not in her life, or am I mistaken?”

“Look, tell me what you want from me, or this meeting is over. You sit here telling me that you have basically been looking into me and my daughter's lives. I’m not sure if you know it or not but that shit is creepy and I don’t think any of this is going to work for me.

You fucking me for a weekend does not entitle you to my life story,” I said, ready to say fuck this job and him too.

“If you take a moment to listen you’ll understand; now please, sit down.” I hadn’t even realized that I was standing over Crew until he said something. I sat back down in my chair but my body still remained tense as he spoke.

“If you take the time to think about it, you’ll see that this will benefit both of us.

If you agree to marry me, I will not only train you to run this building as not only DON but as the owner.

I will give you this building and another for each year we remain married.

You will be given access to an account with a predetermined amount of money to provide any needs you or your daughter may have. ”

“Who determines the amount?” I was intrigued by the possibility of a lump sum of money being given to me. I made very good money in my position but it never hurt to have a cushion.

“You do. Just give me a number within reason and it’s yours,” he said nonchalantly like money was no object to him.

“I would have to really think about this. I have a daughter to protect. My daughter and I are a package deal so I’m assuming I would have to live with you and that means my daughter would as well. I have to make sure she is safe,” I told him, trying not to offend him, but Timberly is my priority.

“I totally understand, and believe me when I say, I would treat your daughter like she was mine and that means protecting her with my life as if she came from me, " he said sincerely.

“With that being said you will be expected to make our marriage look as real as possible. That means PDA, family outings and date nights. Our agreement is for show only; however, if things between us change, any children from our marriage will be heirs to my entire fortune.”

“How long would we have to stay married?” Yeah he was fine but I couldn’t anchor myself to a man like him permanently. I just needed to use this opportunity to finally be free of Kyle.

“If after three years we have no biological children we will be free to divorce and go our separate ways.”

“What makes you think we would have any children? This isn’t a real marriage so we won’t be having sex again,” I stated with certainty.

“I just fucked you in every position imaginable in my suite, Princess, and I barely knew your name. What makes you think after we’re married that I won’t be fucking my wife against every surface of our home?

" he said as his eyes roamed my body, making me shiver.

He was right and by the look on his face he knew it.

“W-Why me?” I stuttered out.

“Because you're loyal, beautiful, intelligent, hardworking, nurturing and you have the best pussy I’ve ever tasted. But most of all, you deserve a soft life. But it’s also because you intrigue me.

I’m gonna be honest with you. I did my research on you before I decided to bring this proposition to you.

I know that you are running from your ex-fiancé and I know why.

If you accept my proposal I can protect not only you but your daughter as well.

I protect what’s mine, and if you marry me you and your daughter will be my family.

Meaning you have my protection and all that comes with it.

I’ll give you some time to think about it.

You have my number. Give me a call with your answer when you’re ready.

No matter what you choose, I will still train you to be the best director in the state. ”

I was speechless after listening to what he had to say.

Could he really be serious? I mean, I had been worried about how I was going to continue to hide from Kyle and his family.

Crew had the resources to protect us from Kyle.

No matter how unorthodox his proposal seemed, if he was right it could benefit both of us.

It was a win-win for both parties. I would have to do some research of my own.

I couldn’t just jump into this headfirst I had my daughter to think about.

I had to know what kind of man I could possibly be bringing my daughter around.

He stood and stalked to the door before he turned.

I watched as his tongue ran across his lower lips, captivating me.

The sight sent shockwaves to my core making me squeeze my thighs together to quiet them.

He smirked, catching me in an attempt to stop the simmering between my thighs.

Crew stalked toward me and pinned me against my desk, making my body heat with need.
