The Billionaire Boys Club (Billionaire Romance Series Book 1(50)

“Then do that,” Dylan said. Kelsey frowned and started to eat her own dinner.



“What’s going on with him?” Jessica asked as they walked back to their dorm after dinner. Dylan had eaten quickly and left fifteen minutes earlier.

“Stress?” Kelsey said.

“We’re all stressed,” Jessica said dismissively.

“Yeah,” Kelsey replied. “I don’t know. It’s a different Dylan than I’m used to.”



“I hope he gets it together soon,” Jessica said. “I’m really starting to worry.”



“Me too,” Kelsey said.



Dylan was in a better mood on Monday in Civil Procedure, although class wasn’t any better. When Kelsey sat next to Tyler, Zach and Ryan in Torts, she belatedly wondered if Ryan had asked Tactec founder and billionaire Lisa Olsen to do his first-year Legal Writing homework for him. The thought made her smile. It seemed exactly the sort of thing that Ryan would have the nerve to ask.



Ashley joined them for dinner that evening.

“Matthew is out with the boys tonight,” she said. “His friend from high school is getting married next weekend, and they’re planning the bachelor party.”



“Sounds like fun,” Dylan commented.

“We should have a girls’ night sometime,” Ashley said. “You can come too, Dylan.”



“Get my nails done? I think I’ll pass,” he replied.

“No, silly. We just go out and have fun,” Ashley said. “Although we could go to the spa,” she added thoughtfully.

“Did you enjoy the concert on Saturday?” Kelsey asked Ashley.

“No. Matthew did though. It’s not my kind of music,” Ashley sniffed.

“Where are you going for Thanksgiving?” Jessica asked. “It’s coming up.”



“Well…” Ashley said, “I’m sort of hoping that Matthew will ask me to join him.”



“Getting serious?” Jessica said.

“I certainly hope so,” Ashley replied, smiling. “Where are all of you going?”



“Kelsey’s,” Jessica said.

“You too, Dylan?” Ashley asked.

“Me, too,” Dylan replied.

“If you don’t get an invite from Matthew, you’re welcome to join us,” Kelsey said graciously.

“Thanks, but if he doesn’t invite me, I’ll just head back to Texas and have dinner with my family,” Ashley replied. “Let him wonder what I’m up to back home.”



In the middle of Torts on Wednesday, Ryan passed his smartphone to Zachary. Zachary glanced at it, then slid it to Tyler. Kelsey looked down. On the smartphone was a selfie of Ashley, completely naked, standing in a mirror. Tyler glared at Ryan and slid the phone back. Ryan shook his head, and looked back up at the professor.

When Kelsey and Jessica returned to their floor after lunch, they could hear a blazing fight coming from Ashley’s room. They walked into their room and shut the door, but the argument streamed through the thin walls.

“I didn’t send it to you for you to pass it around campus!” Ashley shouted. It sounded as if she was in tears.

“What kind of girl takes a photo of her naked body like that?” Matthew retorted, very loudly.

“Who knows how many people have seen it?” Ashley cried.

“You sent it. What did you expect?”



“I sent it to you. For you,” Ashley said.

“If I want to see porn, I’ll get on the internet. How am I supposed to go out with someone who thinks that’s appropriate? What do you think my friends think of you?”



“They wouldn’t think anything if you hadn’t sent it around!” Ashley screamed.

“You’re just a tart,” Matthew said. “I don’t want to see you again.” The girls heard him open the door, slam it and stomp down the hall. Ashley began to wail.

“Do you think we should do something?” Jessica said to Kelsey.

“Poor Ash. Let’s go over,” Kelsey replied.

They left their room and knocked on Ashley’s door. They could hear her crying.

“Ashley, it’s Jess and Kels,” Jessica said. But Ashley didn’t respond. Kelsey and Jessica stood outside for a moment, but Ashley didn’t come to the door. Kelsey knocked again, but nothing happened. After waiting for a few minutes, they walked back into their room.

“That sucks,” Jessica said. She picked up her casebook.

“I saw the photo,” Kelsey said, picking up her own.

Jessica looked at her quizzically for a moment, then said, “Of course, you sit next to his friends. I’m surprised I didn’t see it.”



“I can’t believe he sent it around,” Kelsey said.

“He’s such a jerk. We told her.”



“I wonder who’s seen it.”



“Are you kidding? I’m sure jerk number two, Brandon, put it online,” Jess said.

“Wow,” Kelsey said.

“Never take nude selfies,” Jessica said. “I wonder if she can sue.”
