Yours Completely: A Cinderella Love Story (Billionaires and Brides #1) Read Online Free PDF

was the Jason getting married the day after tomorrow. No wonder he was so perfect. He was someone else's.
    Ella shook her head, trying to keep her heart beat steady and her stomach from flinging its contents all over the barn. He must think her a complete idiot. He hadn't tried to kiss her, he was just catching her from falling. She was the one doing all the kissing. She was a terrible person. She was no better than those vicious trollops hunting for him outside. He was supposed to be getting married!
    “You okay?” Jace asked after a moment. She was frozen, the brush paused in mid-air. She looked over and her heart sunk just a little bit more. His eyes were still far too blue for her to look at, especially now that she knew they weren't meant for her. He was probably just being nice to her for letting him stay in the barn and hide from the overzealous party guests.
    “Yeah, I'm fine.” It almost sounded true.
    “Don't let those women get to you,” Jace said, his voice low and comforting.
    Damn him, even now she wanted him. Why did he have to be sweet and sexy?
    “It's fine,” she replied, hating how bitter she sounded even in her own head. She steadied herself against Captain, drawing on his steady strength. She needed to change the subject. Something that would remind her that she shouldn't let her guard down, even for a minute. “So, I bet you'll be glad when this wedding is over, huh?”
    Jace blew out a heavy sigh. “You have no idea. It's taken over my life. I can't wait for it to be done.”
    Of course you can't wait , Ella thought to herself. You'll be happily married. I wouldn't want to wait for you either.
    “Oh, come on- it's a wedding,” Ella pressed, determined to sound pleasant and happy. “You should be excited.”
    “I am excited. Don't get me wrong,” he quickly replied, holding up one of his hands like a shield. “I am very excited for the wedding. The part with the vows and the declarations of love is the only reason I'm putting up with all the other things that come along with it.”
    Damn it. He was romantic too.
    “It can't be that bad.” Ella worked the brush harder on Captain's coat, making him turn and look at her. She wasn't usually this heavy-handed. “Weddings are nice.”
    “Not this one,” Jace said, shaking his head. “Most of the people here aren't family. Most of them are just looking for ways to get their hands as deep into other people's pockets as possible. It's all about money and status. They aren't here to celebrate. They're here to be seen and possibly find a way into a billionaire's checkbook.”
    Ella had never thought of it that way. Weddings were supposed to be about love and romance, not about family connections and upping one's status. She could see how having all the guests vying for the top position to earn a dollar would spoil the magic of love. The blonde popped into her mind, especially since she was looking to score with the groom.
    “Like those women who are so intent on catching you,” she said softly. She looked up at him, doing her best wide-eyed innocent expression. “But they seem so genuine and kind.”
    Jace snorted a laugh and it warmed her heart. Damn him again. All she wanted was to make him smile, even if he could never be hers.
    Her watch beeped, reminding her that her time wasn't her own either. It belonged to Delores, and it was time to get back to work. But that meant leaving Jace here alone or having to push him out. She couldn't ask him to leave, not with those harpies still hanging about.
    He'd have to stay without her. She wasn't planning on going back in that stall with him again. Not after how close she had come to kissing an engaged man. She didn't want to look like a fool again, but she wanted to check Jace's work and make sure that she could leave the horses alone with him.
    She picked up the body brush and went into Commander's stall, making sure to keep the big horse between them this time. The gelding's coat was almost
