Dangerous Curves 2: The Good Girl (A Billionaire and BBW erotica romance) Read Online Free

seemed genuinely pleased. “I see why Mr. Colby has taken such a shine to you,” Davis said, giving me a wink. “Very few people feel the way you do.”
    Nick had ‘taken a shine’ to me? So did that mean he’d been talking about me to his staff? I didn’t want to look desperate and beg for information about myself. Instead, I asked Davis how his day had been. He responded by telling me a hilarious story about his granddaughter’s high school pageant. 
    Twenty minutes later, we were outsid e Katie’s apartment building. Per Katie’s request, Davis drove us to the bar she wanted to visit.
    “Wait til you hear my news!” I told her, once we’d been seated at a high top for two.
    “Mariah offered me a lead feature article!” Before she could respond, I rushed on, “And I’m picking Nick up from the airport Sunday night!”
    I expected my best friend to be happy for me, but instead she looked distracted. “Where’s that waitress?” she asked. “I need something to drink.”
    “Are you doing okay?” I asked, genuinely concerned.
    “Yeah, yeah, I’m good.” She shrugged her shoulders and flagged down a server so we could order cocktails.
    Once our drinks had arrived, she loosened up. “So tell me what’s been going on with Nick?”
    “He’s amazing,” I told her, taking a sip of my drink. I sighed deeply.
    “Amazing, eh?” Katie didn’t look impressed. Then, she added, “The way you talk about him, he almost sounds too good to be true. You know fairytales aren’t real, right?” She rolled her eyes.
    I was taken aback. “Of course I know that,” I said.
    “Well, that’s good to hear.” She paused. “Because the way you’re going on about Nicholas you’d think he was Prince Charming or something.”
    “Katie, I – ”
    “It’s not like the guy’s flawless.”
    “I know that.”
    She set her drink down, and fixed me in her gaze. “Do you?” she asked, “Do you really ?”
    “Yes, of course,” I said. “Nick has plenty of flaws. Everyone does.”
    “Name one thing you don’t like about him,” she challenged me. “Because I’ve yet to hear you say anything bad about him. Anything at all.”
    Before I could answer, Katie rushed on. “ The way you’ve been talking and behaving this past week…it just isn’t healthy, Violet. You can’t put somebody up on a pedestal, especially not some guy you barely know. Especially not some guy who has already told you he only wants you for thirty days. You’re romanticizing him. Only seeing the good and ignoring all the bad parts about him. And as for Mariah and the promotion? Ugh, don’t even get me started on that.”
    I was dumbfounded. Where was this coming from?
    Slowly, a thought started to creep in. And it was unsettling. Was Katie jealous of my sudden success – in both my career and romantic life? Was my best friend trying to sabotage me?
    It seemed far-fetched, and I found it almost impossible to believe that Katie – someone who had always had my back, from day one – would ever try to do me harm.
    But, still…something didn’t quite add up.
    Katie was no stranger to ‘romanticizing’ guys. How many times had I heard her rave about a man she’d just met, telling me how he was incredibly brilliant or perfectly handsome or phenomenally skilled in bed?
    And I’d listened. Always. To every word. But now that I had some great things going on in my life, she was the one who was turning sour.
    “I don’t understand where this is coming from,” I began, choosing my words carefully. “What do you have against Nick?”
    “For starters, he’s only giving you thirty days,” she pointed out.
    “I know that,” I said hotly.
    “And that might be all fine and good right now,” Katie said, “because right now you’re still in the thirty days. You’re having fun. You’re seeing him every night. What happens when the thirty days are up?”
    It was a good question, one for which I had no answer. At the same time, though,
