Blackmailed For The Billionaire’s Pleasure(9)
The dress was beautiful Kira had to admit, although a little on the revealing side. It was very expensive but she thought grimly to herself, her expression becoming bitter, he could afford it, he could afford to buy anything, and even it turned out her. As she pulled the dress on it fitted her perfectly, the material softly and sensually skimming her body. Backless, the front crossed over to create a halter neck which fastened at the nape of her neck with a long slit at the front which reached up to her knees enabled her lovely legs to be seen as she walked. The colour was almost a perfect match to her wonderful eyes, causing Kira to look stunning in the outfit.
The owner of the shop looked at her with admiration.
“Wow, that dress was made for you” she exclaimed the sincerity shining from her.
Kira however, just nodded miserably, before taking it off for the woman to wrap for her. Picking up accessories, shoes and a matching bag she had returned to her room to pack the rest of her things for the days ahead.
As she and Bill had only been staying in Las Vegas until the Tuesday she had only enough clothes to last until that time. Therefore, she re-packed the bag she had come with quickly, not taking long as she had not unpacked most of it, to upset from her encounter the previous evening. At exactly 2.00 O’clock as promised a tap on her door saw a security man smiling at her, ready to escort her to where she needed to go. He carried her bag and the garment carrier chatting pleasantly to her on the way down in the lift. Kira never one to hurt a persons feelings had tried hard to return the pleasantries, however, she felt sick to her stomach.
As her luggage was stowed in the boot of the stretch limo she entered the plush interior of the car to find Craig already seated.
“Good girl” he smiled
Kira bit her lip to keep back the words which came to her at his arrogant tone.
As the car drove off she fixed him with a hard look.
“I need to speak to Bill” she said
“No need I’ve already spoken to him” Craig said casually
She looked at him sharply
“What did you tell him?”
“Oh don’t worry” he said with a note of mockery in his voice “I didn’t tell your boyfriend what we were doing”
Kira glared at him
“He is not my boyfriend” she stated firmly between clenched teeth. Looking coolly at her Craig finally added
“I told him that you were going to give the presentation to a group of business colleagues who needed to see the plans and that as he had been awarded the contract, he was needed here to get started with the project plan”
“What did he say?” she asked more gently looking away from him
“He didn’t sound to happy, but ….I don’t think he had much choice do you” He watched her reactions closely.
“I’ll speak to him myself later” she said softly.
“Here” Pulling a mobile from his jacket he threw it onto her lap
“Phone now”
Kira made to give it back him,
“I’ll speak to him later”
But shaking his head the look on his face was icy
“No Kira now or never” he said with a finality in his voice
“And speaking of which... mobile” he held out his hand for her device.
Kira looked at him grimly
“No” she stated
“I mean it Kira”
He said darkly, his eyes serious and determined. She shook her head her hair falling over her face, her eyes finding his “There is somebody at home I need to speak to regularly” she said quietly
“Who “he asked with a frown
For the first time since meeting her he saw the shutters go down in her eyes
“Non of your business” she replied coldly
“Tough” he bit back
She looked at him an expression of fierce determination on her lovely face
“I have no intention of giving you my phone, and if you can’t accept that then you might just as well stop the car and let me out here” catching the look in his eye she added
“Not even for Bill”
Craig sat back a dark look on his face
“I don’t want you talking with Bill after we get out of this car” he stated frowning darkly
“Agreed” she said picking up the mobile he had given her before dialling Bills number
When he heard her voice Bill had become agitated, asking with great concern what was going on. Putting on as bright a voice as she could muster, she was unaware of how her hand had gripped the phone so tightly that her knuckles where almost white.
“Isn’t it wonderful we got the contract? Craig said he explained it all to you”
There was the sound of Bills worried voice querying if she was OK. To which she responded that she was fine. He had asked if she was sure about what she was doing given the way she had responded the previous evening. Kira had laughed trying not to make the sound as hollow as she felt.
