The Billionaire's Secret: Billionaire Obsession (Tycoon Billionaires Book 5) (5 page)

He rubbed his brow. “I’m sorry… I can’t.”

She hardened her posture. “Okay. Message received.” She stood up. “I guess I’d better get going.”

“Sure, okay.”

“Thanks for the coffee.”

“No problem.”

“And for saving the day.”

He shrugged. “Just doing what I was trained to do…”

She gazed at him and opened her mouth to speak, but then she closed it again. Jake wanted to tell her how much he liked her, but how could he? He wasn’t the right guy for her. She was perfect.
That
was the problem. With his lifestyle and background, he’d only end up hurting her. She was too sweet. Too lovely.

He opened his mouth to say goodbye, but she suddenly leaned forward, threw her arms around him, and kissed him passionately on the lips – taking him by surprise and jolting him back to that gorgeous place she’d sent him to last night.

She stood back and studied him for a moment, then she walked away, pushing through the crowd, biting back the tears.

Jake’s body flashed to life and he realized how full of passion and opportunity that kiss had been – he couldn’t let that walk out of his life. He stood and rushed after her, catching up with her by the revolving glass door that led to the real world. It was pouring with rain outside, and she was rummaging in her purse for her umbrella.

He halted in front of her. “Astrid, wait.”

She didn’t look at him. “It’s okay, Jake. I think we understand each other.”

She darted past him and hurried toward the revolving door, where people were now running in from the rain. She stepped into a compartment, and the door revolved away from him, so he stepped into the next compartment, hot on her heels.

One thing Jake was good at was trailing people, and he wasn’t letting this one go.

She strode ahead in the rain, click-clacking away – still trying to find her umbrella in her purse. He caught up with her again. 

“At least let me drive you home. You can’t walk two miles in this rain.”

“I don’t mind walking.”

“It’s pouring. Come on.”

He gently grabbed her arm. She halted. They were both getting drenched now. He realized she had tears running down her cheeks, mingling with the rain water.

“Oh god, I’m so sorry – you’re crying.” He reached out and pulled her close, wrapping her in his arms. “Did I do this? Did I make you cry?”

She shook her head and buried her face in his shoulder. She spoke, but her words were muffled and he couldn’t understand.

“Come on,” he said. “My car’s in the parking garage. This way.”

With his arms around her, he guided her to his beloved Ferrari and opened the door for her. Then he climbed into the driver’s side. They were both soaking wet, and Astrid looked miserable and dejected. He felt terrible, but here was the proof that he’d been right. He’d feared he would hurt her, and he already had.

He started the engine and drove out of the parking garage. “Astrid, what–”

“I don’t want to talk about it. Just take me home. You know where I live because you took me there last night. Let’s just go – we’ve nothing to discuss.” She twisted around and gazed out the window, so Jake drove them in silence for ten minutes through the heavy traffic until he pulled up outside her place.

She didn’t look at him. “Thanks for the ride.”

“You gonna be okay?”

She threw him a tight smile. “Sure.”

“Look, I know I don’t express myself too well, but I never wanted to hurt you. I never would intentionally.”

Her expression softened. “I know. It’s not you – not really.”

She was so beautiful and affection crackled between them. Jake reached out and caressed her cheek. She closed her eyes. “Don’t, Jake.”

She made no attempt to move. He leaned forward, unable to resist, and planted a kiss on her soft lips – which acquiesced. The kiss grew stronger – Jake pressed his lips against Astrid’s, and eased his tongue into her gorgeous mouth, sending dazzles of lust through his body. With the rain pouring hard outside and the wipers thrashing, they kissed and kissed – tongues intertwining and lips hungrily writhing. Astrid tasted exquisite – of chocolate and coffee; she was warm and comforting. She groaned gently as he pulled her close, kissing her with ever-increasing passion.

“I want to make love to you,” he said between kisses.

Her breath caught in her throat. “I want that too. I’m so attracted to you.”

He kissed her again. “As you said, there’s nothing wrong with two people taking comfort in each other’s arms.”

“No. I heard you when you said you’re not they guy I’m looking for. And perhaps you’re right. But now is now.”

“It sure is.”

“And we’re here.”

“We are.”

“No strings.”

“No.”

She eased herself out of his arms and opened the car door against the rain. He hooked his fingers over the steering wheel and watched as she jogged up the front steps to her apartment building – he didn’t want to follow – he knew this shouldn’t happen. But as she opened the door and turned around in the doorway to gaze at him, he couldn’t resist.

He quickly parked up, then climbed out and followed – pulling her close and kissing her passionately in the foyer.

“I need to fuck you senseless,” he said. “I want to make you come harder than ever before.”

She burst into laughter – probably unused to being spoken to like that. “It’s a deal.”

They held hands and rushed up to her apartment, both alive with the passion of the moment – energized by the driving rain.

She slammed the front door and they kissed again. She couldn’t believe she was about to do this with such a gorgeous guy. But somehow his reckless lust for life was rubbing off on her.

“You should take off those wet things,” he said. “Or maybe
I’ll
give you a hand.”

Astrid fondled the top button of her shirt as lust pounded hard through her body. She was still unsure whether this was a good idea. It wasn’t that she didn’t
want
to – but she wanted to far too
much
. Jake was one big heartache wrapped up in a handsome body of pure muscle. And it was clear he wasn’t into her as much as she was him… But he was gorgeous… And the way he’d tackled that gunman had really turned her on – after the fear had faded. Okay… no strings. She could do that.

Jake fingered her buttons. “Your hands are shaking. Let me help you.”

He reached out and undid her top buttons, running his strong fingers over the top of her breasts. Her chest rose and fell rapidly as she tried to catch her breath.

Jake smirked into her eyes – he knew the effect he was having on her. He reached up and undid his tie, then let it drop to the floor. Maintaining eye contact he undid the buttons of his own shirt – as confident as a stripper. He pulled back his shirt from his shoulders and revealed his sculpted muscles and toned torso – he smoldered with sexuality and sizzling confidence.

A wave of arousal rippled up from Astrid’s thighs, pinning her to the floor. “Fuck, you’re sexy,” she said.

Jake chuckled. Then he stepped forward, gazing into her eyes. “Time for
you
to strip for
me
now.”

Astrid gasped with desire, trying not to climax before he’d even touched her. “Me?”

He realized she was shy, so he took control. He rested a hand on her shoulder and stepped behind her, then he halted so close that she could feel his breath on her neck – sending pure lust into every cell of her body. He massaged her shoulders and sucked her earlobe.

“Relax, Astrid. Let me take care of you.”

He continued to rub his commanding fingers into her tense shoulders from behind and nibbled her ear, making her gasp. Then he slid his hands over her breasts and gently squeezed, causing desire to flash through her. Her heart pounded hard as he lowered his face to caress her neck with his soft lips.

He whispered into her ear. “I want to bend you over and fuck you into a frenzy.”

“Oh
god
…”

He slid one hand across the back of her curvy waist and hips, then he grasped her butt with his strong hands.

Astrid’s heart-rate surged. Jake was tantalizing, and her body was desperate to be possessed by him.

“Tell me you want me, Astrid,” he said. “That you want me to make your beautiful body sing out with ecstasy.”

She could hardly speak. “I want this…”

“Say the words,” he commanded. “I need to know you want this as much as I do.”

She gazed powerfully into his eyes. “I want you to make love to me, Jake.”

“Music to my ears.”

He ran his fingers along the collar of her shirt, then gripped it in his strong hands, before stripping it roughly down from behind – exposing her shoulders and bra. She could see her breasts rising and falling frantically as she breathed hard from arousal. He tied the long sleeves of her shirt in a knot behind her – with her cuffs remaining fastened so she was bound.

“Now you’re at my disposal,” he growled into her ear. “What pleasures can I bestow upon you?”

He massaged her now-bare shoulders, and kissed her on the neck. “I’m going to lick every inch of your body.”

She gasped. “Oh my
god
…”

“And I’m going to make you come so hard that I’ll be etched on your memory for eternity.”

He wrapped one arm cross her stomach and eased her hips toward him, forcing her to bend slightly at the waist. She arched her back, trying to stay in control, but happy to submit to whatever he wanted. He was so masterful. He rubbed himself against the fabric of her skirt, letting her know what was in store. The bulge in his pants was huge and rock-hard.

“You have the sexiest ass I’ve ever seen,” he said, slapping it and making her gasp.

He stepped in front of her and lifted her chin to look in his eyes, which were full of lust, but also affection. She trusted him – she didn’t know why, but she could sense a sincere man under this tough veneer. Still caressing her face, he kissed her hard on the lips and hungrily pulled her against him with his other arm – dropping his hand down to grope her ass, then skimming his fingers between her thighs – over her wet panties.

He stepped back. “You’re so fucking hot. I need to push up your skirt and lick your pussy.”

He kissed her again, then sank to his knees in front of her. Astrid’s hips ground at nothing – she wanted him urgently. With strong fingers he pushed up her skirt, then gripped her ass and ran his tongue along the edge of her panties – skimming the outside of her pussy. Pleasure soared through her body and she ground herself into his face.

She wanted to run her fingers through his lovely hair as he licked her clit, but she was still bound by the arms of her shirt. So she was at his disposal, as he slipped his fingers easily inside her wet pussy and rubbed her G-spot while tonguing her clit. She groaned and dropped back her head as her body filled with honey-like delight. An intense wave of pre-orgasm overwhelmed her and she felt she was about to come hard. But Jake suddenly stopped and looked up at her.

“Not yet, sweetheart. Not until I say.”

She groaned in frustration, unable to stop grinning.

He stood up and untied her hands from her shirt, then he started to slowly strip her out of her bra. “I need to make you quiver – to be desperate for me. To make it incredible – the most overwhelming pleasure you’ve ever had. That’s my mission.”

He flung her bra to the floor with a flourish, then he caressed one of her breasts in his strong hand, running his thumb over her nipple, enhancing the pleasure. He leaned down and sucked her other nipple, stimulating them both at the same time, one with his thumb, and the other with his tongue. Astrid felt herself go weak at the knees. He pulled her close against himself and rubbed his rock-hard cock against her pelvis. It was straining to get out of his pants, so she decided to oblige.

She reached out and unzipped him, then delved her hand in his pants to rub her palm against his cock.

“Yes, babe,” he said, guiding her fingers to wrap around his shaft.

They pulled his cock out of his pants together and it stood proudly – a symbol of the pent-up passion between them. He pulled a condom from his wallet and handed it to her, so she sunk to her knees and rolled it over his huge erection, which he rubbed hungrily against her cheek, then she grasped it with one hand and wrapped her lips around the tip. She threw him a sultry glance, suddenly feeling empowered. She felt sexy with her skirt pushed up around her hips and her breasts exposed.
He
thought he was in control here, but perhaps this was her way of dominating him a little. She plunged his cock into her mouth and sucked hard, causing him to groan with pleasure. He reached down and ran his fingers through her hair.

“Yes, babe.”

She flicked her tongue over the head, circling the end and tasting the rubber of the condom. She could feel the warm sticky pre-cum filling it up, letting her know how much he was enjoying this oral treat.
