The Playboy Billionaire (The Romero Brothers, Book 3) (14 page)

“What are you doing up at this time?” he
said in a low voice, slightly breathless after swimming laps she guessed.

Blue could see the ripped muscles on his moist
chest, so sculpted and prominent. The excess water glistened on his smooth
skin. She fought the urge to reach out and glide her fingers down his taut, sexy
muscles to enjoy the silky feel of his smooth, wet skin. The guy was fit like
an athlete and ripped like a medium-weight bodybuilder. His muscular body and
biceps were to die for. Zack was perfect.

“I was…I…I couldn’t sleep,” she fumbled
with her words. Her gaze dropped slightly to the growing bulge in his swimwear
shorts. His dark, sexy hair was moist and sexily wet.
 

His well-built legs looked the athletic
type, muscular and powerful. Holy crap! The man was built like a sex god!

There was a massive whirlpool hot tub
adjacent by the pool that was activating a continuous flow of water. She found
the gentle swishing of the water as romantic as the dim ambiance of the area.

She wondered how many women had Zack or his
brothers taken here at night by the whirlpool or in the hot tub after a swim.
She was never much into swimming since she often got "swimmer's ear."

Her heartbeat galloped harder and actually
increased. She was ever conscious of breathing hard and a trembling desire
slithered through her. She was glad it was dark enough that Zack could not see
her aroused nipples through her nightshirt.

Now she was more intimidated seeing him
like this.

“You couldn’t sleep?” he echoed, his voice
smooth and deliciously deep.

Blue’s gaze kept surveying the sweetness of
this man’s powerful semi-naked body. “Sorry, I…I didn’t mean to dis…turb you.
I…I had no idea you’d be…”

Blue could not think. Her mind was drawing
a sweet blank. The kind you get when you are completely enthralled with a
gorgeous person. Zack. There was just something about a hot, muscular
guy coming
out of a swimming pool, dripping wet. Her eyes
drank in the beauty of his chest and ripped muscles again, his nipples were
hard and erect, as were hers.

He drew in a breath. “It’s okay, Blue. Stop
apologizing! It's not necessary.” A boyish grin touched his lips. He motioned
for her to sit by him on the patio chairs. He wrapped a towel around his waist
and grabbed a pitcher of water. He offered her a glass.

“No, thank you. I’m good for now,” she
said, breathless.
Her mind still reeling of the gorgeousness
of her boss.

Zack took a quick drink.

She noticed his gaze swept across her body
and she felt more self-conscious. Why had she worn her nightshirt and PJs? She
should have put on a robe.

So he wasn’t completely annoyed that she’d
interrupted his quiet time. He was probably de-stressing after a long day
filled with never-ending drama. Most of it caused by her, she could not help
but think.

The dark moonlit night air was warm and
inviting.
A beautiful summer night by the pool area.
There was something calming about the water whooshing from the pool’s whirlwind
hot tub.

Blue sat in a plush patio chair with a high
back separated from Zack only by a table.

“I’m going into the hot tub. I often do
that after I swim. Do you mind?

“Oh, no. Of course not.”
Can I join you?

There was something arousing about being
neck deep in water with a sexy, well-built man. “Care to join me?” he asked, his
voice low and silky.

She froze. What?
In a hot
tub?
With Zack?
Her body was screaming yes, go!
But then her mind was racing with questions. Should she be naked in a hot tub?
Topless? Bathing suit? Why surely he wouldn’t want her to…?

“You can come in just as you are,” he
grinned, as if reading her mind. “Or you can grab your bathing suit.”

“Um…well, you know what? I could do with a
bit of unwinding.” Blue breathed deeply, trying to calm her nerves. “I think
the ER doc said water would be therapeutic to ease my muscles. You know how you
get all jarred around when you're in an accident.” But the truth was she wanted
to be close to Zack. She wanted to reach out and hug and rub and squeeze him
with all the appreciation in her body for all he’d done for her. He had
practically saved her life earlier in more ways than one. Not only did he give
her a way out, in her financial crisis,
but
he protected
her and her sister from some lowlife who obviously wanted to harm her.

How could she possibly thank him enough for
all he’d done?

“Yes, it would be excellent therapy,” he
said in a smooth voice, not taking his gaze from her.

A little while later,
Blue
returned to the pool area wearing her two-piece bathing suit underneath her
robe. The swishing of the whirlpool moving the water around in the tub was
relaxing as she leaned her head back. Zack seemed to have a lot on his mind.
His eyes were closed at the moment and he had his head tilted back. She glanced
up at the dark sky and the twinkling smattering of stars. The air was so crisp
and clear out in the country. Blue relished it. It was a good thing that a man
as busy as Zack had a soothing place to unwind and relax.

“I don’t bite, Miss Monroe.” Zack grinned,
a boyish, cheeky grin. His sweet lips looked inviting to taste. Would she ever
have the chance to kiss him again? “Since you started working here, you seem a
lot more shy than when I remembered you reporting for Channel 31,” he
commented.

She could not help but feeling soft inside.
He was delicious, appealing. His sexy male scent mixed with the non-chlorinated
pool water was tempting her in every way. She could feel it. Magic.

“I…well, I guess looks can be deceiving,”
she surmised, her eyes drifting down on the bubbling water. My God! What if
anyone saw them in the tub at this time of night? They could even assume they
were…naked!

Zack tossed his head back and laughed. She
loved the sound of his laugh; it was filled with heart and soul. There wasn’t
anything about this man Blue didn’t like.

“Now, that I don’t believe for one moment,”
he said, his arms were stretched out resting on the edge of the tub as he shifted
to better enjoy the feel of the water.

“Well, we have to perform whenever we’re in
the…spotlight. You know, when the cameras are on.”

“I see. And what about today?”

“Today?”

“Yes, when you are working behind the
cameras. Were you performing then?”

She giggled at his sly humor. “No. I was
not.” Blue grinned.

His dark, sexy gaze captured and held hers.
All she could do was feel her heart explode inside her chest, beating harder
and faster.
Oh, kiss me.

She thought about their earlier meeting
during the wine tasting and how much she craved and desired to taste his
sweetness on her lips. And how he finally satisfied her craving.

“What’s on your mind, Miss Monroe?” Zack arched
a brow, playfully.

“You.”

A grin of satisfaction touched his lip.
“Oh? I like a woman who is honest.”

“What’s on your mind?” she said in a low
voice, breathless, wanting to be closer to him.

She could feel the electricity pulsing
between them again. It was unstoppable. Captivating. Magical. They had some
sort of chemical reaction she could not fully explain.
 

He showed her by lowering his head to hers
and brushing his lips against hers. Her body shivered uncontrollably with
erotic pleasure from his lips. Oh, she missed those lips of his. Hungrily,
passionately they kissed and devoured each other’s lips while the warm water
splashed around them. The feel was so amazingly erotic.

She enjoyed the feel of his soft lips on
hers, the heavy breathing.

“Oh, God!” he moaned in a hoarse voice.
“You have no idea what you do to me, Blue.” He called her Blue! He addressed
her by her first name!

She moaned in response as she arched her
neck back to savor the moment of his wet, hard flesh caressing her.

She was well aware that hot tubs were
divine for relaxation and stress relief and sexual touch was always better when
extremely relaxed.

The water was like a lubricant and its warmth
coupled with the bubbles from the jetstream multiplied her pleasure.

Zack really knew how to excite a woman.
She’d never even been in a hot tub before, much less caressed inside one. But
oh, the sensual experience.

Zack massaged her skin in circular motion sending
currents of desire rushing through her, as he continued to nibble on her neck
enjoying the feel of her flesh. Her body felt deeply relaxed and profoundly
heightened. Her sex throbbed and pounded between her legs, her nipples were
hard and peaked.

He was a skilled lover.
 
He knew how to pleasure a woman
passionately.

Blue read that a lot of men go for the
nipples or the genitals right away during foreplay, which wasn’t always the
best way to satisfy a woman. But a man who really took his time and massaged
and caressed his lover in other areas had it just right—there was
something oddly arousing and calming about that, which heightened the senses
even more before going deeper into the sexual experience. There was nothing
more sensual than a complete erotic massage, leaving the g-spots and the erotic
zones till later when they were ready and primed. The sensation she was feeling
was delicious. Unbelievable.

Her body’s response to his soft carnal touch
was overwhelmingly sweet to her senses. His lips were magic and made her
tremble inside with deep, unbridled desire.

“Oh, Blue,” he said, kissing her slippery,
sensitive skin down her arms and she wrapped her arm around his taut, moist flesh,
sliding them up and down. The sensual feel of his warm, wet skin was delightful
to her senses. “God, Blue. You’re so damn beautiful. I worship your body,” he
moaned.

Take
me now!
She was screaming inside. Begging.

As the powerful jets in the tub circulated
around them compounding the erotic sensation, the heat between them was
explosive and had nothing to do with the warmth of the hot tub.

Zack reached his hand under the water and
lifted up her leg. “Oh,” she giggled with heightened delight.

Before she realized what he was doing, a
wicked grin played on his sweet lips as he lifted her foot to his mouth and
began sucking and licking her toe and trailing his soft tongue over her skin
making her tingle with ecstasy.

“Oh,” she screamed out in delight. She
remembered the story about a British duchess having her toe sucked by an
American billionaire once. It was all over the tabloids. After that, everybody
seemed to be enjoying the titillating sensation. She had never had that done to
her before…until now. Oh, what had she been
missing.
She closed her eyes enjoying the incredible manipulation of his hot tongue on her
toes one by one. “Oh, Zack, oh!” she groaned with an overwhelming want.

Breathing hard and heavy, Zack repositioned
himself, enjoying the pleasuring of her body and sucked on her skin going up
her leg, massaging her sensuously, passionately. Still, he hadn’t yet touched
her nipples or her inner thigh, yet she was more aroused than she had ever
been. She slid her hands over her breasts as he continued to please her.

“You’re a very beautiful woman, Blue,” he cooed
breathing hard. “You deserve to be treated like a queen.”

She moaned in response.

“You like that, don’t you?” he continued as
he moaned, a satisfied devilish grin on his lips. Blue leaned over to him in
the water and held his head and kissed him hungrily while he kissed her. She
could feel his manly arousal from underneath the water.

“I love that,” she moaned, softly. “Oh,
Zack.”

And he groaned. “It’s after midnight now.
It’s been thirty days.”

“Thirty days?” she whispered, puzzled,
while she continued to kiss his neck.

“Oh,” he groaned, “Later. I’ll…” he said
between hungry passionate kisses, “…explain…later,” Zack managed to say,
hoarsely as he slid his hand under her bikini top back, unhooking her. He slid
his soft hands over her mound of flesh massaging her at first and the sensation
was incredible. Then, he leaned and he gave a quick flick of his tongue over
her nipple and Blue shivered with delight. Breathing hard he ran his tongue over
her round, hard nipple in a whirlwind figure eight. How did he do that? Blue cried
out with ecstasy. He then covered her breast and sucked soft at first then hard
while teasing her other nipple with his finger pads.

She was in deep, warm water in the
whirlpool but she was sure that a lot of moisture was coming from between her
legs from her own body. Zack reached down with his hand and slid her bikini panties
off in the hot tub. Rubbing and massaging her back and sliding lower to her ass
and caressing her. Her whole body was treated to a full erotic massage.
