Teased: Resisting the Billionaire Volume One

God, you're beautiful. He thought. I can't wait to get you out of this place to somewhere you deserve to be. First things first though. First things first.

He poured coffee for the customer and went back into the rear of the shop as quickly as he could. After all, he could still get fired and then how would he get to spend time with this girl he needed to be next to? Even though he had been living incognito for nearly a full year, he was still not quite used to holding off on his desires. He had been rich from birth and superrich since adolescence, so he always got what he wanted and when he wanted. But this would have to be different, just like with Melanie. He would have to work for this girl, literally sweat, but it would be worth it finally, when he would take her to his bed and be with her as only a devoted lover can. She would scream his name -- his real name -- like no woman ever before her and she would mean it.

Guaranteed.

The next hour was a torture as he learned the mundane routine of the shop and being talked down to by MJ, his new manager. She was nice enough but kind of crusty and a bit of a motormouth, but obviously good at her job. She even had a great rack and a year ago, he wouldn't have thought twice about taking her in the sack. In fact, if he had met her a year ago, he probably would have already boned her in the lockerroom before they even knew each other's names.

But not anymore. This was the new Sebastian Drummond. Looking for love, not lust -- not just lust anyway.

Alison watched him go. Something didn't add up but she was too tired, dazed, and busy to figure it out. In the meantime, all she wanted to do was see him again. It felt like some stupid high school crush, but boy did it make a change from the routine. She was no longer some silly little single girl from the boonies with her first job in New York City. She was a grown-up now, with a steady boyfriend, and plans to work hard as hell to save her pennies to go to college. Workplace flirtations really weren't her thing. God knows she didn't need the distraction. The staff at Tête-á-Tête was almost exclusively female and that suited her perfectly.

But boy, this new guy was something else.

Her regular manager and best friend Mary Jane came on duty and she couldn't help but ask about him.
