She really did. Some wishes were never meant to be, she told herself, drying her hair and rushing to get dressed.
Just a fantasy that got her off.
“I don’t think I can do this, Josie,” she said that night as she prepared for the actual date. Dylan had picked out a nice restaurant in a part of town that was above her pay grade. She wondered how on earth he could afford it on a firefighter’s salary. Laura wasn’t going to question it because maybe she had finally found somebody who was going to treat her properly. The way she had always dreamed of being treated—and not like a booty call or a person you’d settle for when you really want something more but settle for “good enough.”
It didn’t help that Laura felt a huge discrepancy between what she saw in herself, what she saw in the pictures of Dylan, and what she found when she did a search for him online. This guy was a catch; not just a catch, but a catch. Like, the difference between catching a good-sized bass in a Great Lake versus catching a giant, enormous marlin. He was outstanding. There was no other term for it.
He looked like something that had been sculpted by an artist.
“You’re more than ready and you know it, Laura. It’s about time you found some guy who...” Josie looked at the screen again. “I don’t think I remember what I was about to say because I’m about to burst into flames if I look at that guy one more time.”
“He’s mine,” said Laura, baring her teeth in a fake show of territoriality. It wasn’t that fake, though. Some part of her meant it.
And she was about to find out if he really was hers.
Read the rest at Her Billionaires. This series has so much more for you. Why settle for one billionaire when you can have two? ;)

From billionaires to BBWs to new adult rock stars, Julia finds a sensual, goofy joy in every contemporary romance she writes. Unlike Shannon from Shopping for a Billionaire, she did not meet her husband after dropping her phone in a men's room toilet (and he isn't a billionaire she met in a romantic comedy).
She lives in New England with her husband and three children where she is the only person in the household with the gene required to change empty toilet paper rolls.
She loves to hear from her readers online.
