Tame My Billionaire Lover.

Covetous.

Alicia POV

My pulse grew erratic as I reread the email on my phone screen. It was finally happening, I was going to be a cooperate girl!.

"What's with the smile?" Brav questioned looking up from the laptop screen.Then the corner of his eyes narrowed and mistakeable jealousy crawled up his face as he edged closer to where I was lying on the bed.

"Is it a man?" His jaw was tensed and one could see that he was clearly angry. His Jaws highlighted expensively while they grinned on each other.

"Ofcourse not,I finally got a response for a job I had previously applied for and done a virtual interview on. I got the job!"one could hear the excitement from my tone and the smile I had on was so bright that it made the sun look bad.

He snatched the phone from my hands obviously not believing a word I said . His gray eyes immediately darkened with rage as he threw the phone on the bed.

"Why the f**k would you apply for a job and not tell me?"he snapped.

"I...I thought you would be happy for me ." I said as I lifted my upper body from the bed so as to sit upright.

"You have some nerve...as if it wasn't enough that you applied for a job ,you went ahead and took a virtual interview..tsk!"

"Bu..uut"

"No buts,you are not going to that job Alicia and that's final." He thundered ,then stormed out of our one bedroom apartment.

I sighed,pulling my knees to my chin as I fought the tears gathering at the slit ends of my eyes . All I wanted was a real office job,with health insurance,stable income and healthy working hours. Not a shitty fourteen hour shift at the diner downtown. Just for once could Brav not see that, maybe moving in with my high-school sweetheart was not such a good idea .

I loved him though, too much so that I was willing to put up with his temper tantrums . Besides, love is blind,right.

The tick tock sound of the watch hanging on the wall indicated that it was only five minutes past eight , I pulled a towel around myself walking towards the bathroom. I hummed all of me by John legend as I soaped my body enjoying the calmness taking over. Once I was done I went through my wardrobe and my eyes caught on to a particular dress I had bought for when Brav will finally get his act together and take me out on a date or something.

I snarled on the thought knowing fully well that nothing like thar was going to happen, atleast not any time soon.

I pulled it on , loving how the Wang black dress hugged my curves oh so perfectly. Some lip gloss on,smoky eyes and my fourinch wedge heels that I loved so much .

I needed to get out of the house and take a breather,hell even go out to the club . One drink wouldn't hurt considering the ordeal I just had with Brav.

The small miles to the club were spent in dire thinking regretting every single decision I had made in my life from the moment I kissed him.

But the part I hated the most was how I could not bring myself to unlove him after everything that happened despite how pathetic that sounded in my ears.

"We are here miss." The cab driver spoke moving me from the strain of my thoughts.

"Thank you." I paid him as I entered the club. My eyes were drinking the beauty of the club and the very many people that were inside . It felt good to see some new faces.

I maneuvered through the crowd of dancing people and reached at the bar and sat on the tall bar stools.

"Whiskey on the rocks please. " I ordered as I was surveying the scenes in the club. The loud music was the escape I needed from the stream of thoughts I had . I wasn't planning on staying there for the whole night ,I just needed an escape.

I was dreading going back to the apartment and having to.deal with Brav. Whenever we had a fight he would always go out and get drunk and that was a scene I was trying to avoid.

I decided to text a friend of mine who lived across the street from the club. She was my high-school mate and was for the life of the party.she never approved of my relationship with Brav and I was sure as hell she would gloat on the realization of how pathetic my situation was with him.

Hey jullzz, I'm at sip it and was wondering if you were up for some drinks,on me!

Barely a second later she replied with a smiley emoji accompanying her text .

Coming...

Thirty minutes later ,I saw her walking past the guards manning the door and I had to stiffle a gasp at the floral blue dress caressing her rather curvaceous body .

The smile on her face reminded me of how much I could count on her when things were tough.

"Finally, you outside. How comes today Brav didn't look you in the house." She whispered in my ear as we hugged.

"We had a fight and I left " it was hard pretending talking about Brav was not chocking painful.

"You really know how to dress for a party b***h,I'd bet many men will be drooling over you tonight." She giggled changing the subject.

"Not as many as those who were undressing you."She laughed at my statement .

"You know what we need b***h , shoots. " She pulled the seat beside me and sat next to me.

"Eight tequila shots please."

"Wha .t"

" No, for old times sake we have to cat h up.."

Her gaze turned to me and without a word she patted my shoulder comfortingly in light strokes. I was tempted to pull her in for a hug and cry myself to sleep.

"Hey Jullzz , the director is here and he wants to meet with you. " one of the waiters said as he was passing out some cocktails .

"Oh ..coming " She said as she jumped off her chair .I could tell she was really excited about this.

"You don't mind if I.. "

" sure sure,take all the time you need Jullzz I'll be fine."

She had always wanted to be a Broadway actress since she was a young girl and I could tell this was important.

I watched her walking away ,bouncing off like a kid who had been given candy . I sighed ,turning around to the tequila shots before me.

If these shots were my way out of this misery then I was taking it.

"I'm assuming this seat is not taken "a deep muscular voice stopped me mid air from taking the shot .

Slowly I turned around staring at the hottest piece of man smirking at me.

Shit!!!

" If you keep staring at me like that I might be forced to take you hard on this bar counter Nd make you scream my name."

Warm tingle cascaded down my spine and I could feel heat flooding my cheeks. Did he just flirt with me .

"Uuum what.. t" my voice sounded like a mere squeak in my own ears . He leaned back and occupied the seat jullzz was on smirking as he summoned the bartender. My eyes roamed over his perfectly sculptured face drinking in the well mapped muscles straining from the tight white t-shirt he was wearing.

Now if I could have a piece of that.

"If you keep looking at me like that , the don't hold me accountable for my actions . Every word from his lips felt the touch of sin on my skin sending ripples all over me.

I weighed my options : go home and deal with a drunken brav or have fun with this gorgeous piece of hunk.

Brav can f**k himself tonight, I curved up a seductive smile ,trailing my fingers from the back of his palm that was laid on the counter. Leaning in I saw his eyes caressing my exposed cleavage.

"Maybe,just maybe...I " I whispered as I trailed between the space of my exposed thigh using my free hand as I watching his gaze shift to my thighs .

Lust gazes his beautiful eyes and at that moment I bit my lips.

" why are we still taking ?" He finally looked up , a contented smile on his face . He summoned the bartender again and slammed a few hundred dollar bills on the counter.

"Keep the change ."

I could have sworn the bill was nowhere close to what he had given the bartender.

Did he own a gold mine or what?
