Pawn of the Billionaire(52)

I let my hand drift down, cupping the swelling of her breast and letting my thumb rub over her nipple. I felt it harden under my touch, but her breathing didn’t change. Maybe this was what she meant, that I didn’t adapt to her likes and wants. I let my hand drift further, sliding along her back and over to her ass. I gripped the sexy roundness of it and pulled her tighter in towards me. She drew in a sharp breath and pressed her hips closer to mine.

I lifted my head, watching her face as her expression tightened, then lifted her body higher against mine, burying my mouth against her shoulder, pressing my body against hers, so I could feel her heartbeat racing away against my chest. Now I could reach, and my hand drifted over her ass, and I slid my fingers down the crack and past her tiny pucker, on towards her center. She gasped, and her heart beat fast against my ribs. I pressed her closer, my other hand pushing under her body, drawing her closer to me.

My cock was pressed hard against her mound and my belly. I thought I was going to explode soon, but as my fingers slicked through her wetness, I knew she was ready for me. She moaned as I moved my hand, but as I lifted her leg up over my hips, she wrapped it around me, her heel digging at the back of my legs. Her mound jerked against me, and I let my cock press against her entrance.

“Yes! Now!” she muttered, as her body tensed.

I slid in an inch or two, waited, and she pushed herself against me with a frustrated noise. Smiling, I eased in a little further and I let my hand slide back along her leg, managing to find her clit. She jerked and arched backwards, her face showing raw passion. I could hear her gasping breathing and feel the rising tension in her muscles. I pushed into her a few more inches, and she moaned.

“Don’t stop! Don’t stop!”

My own movements were getting harder to control, but I redoubled my hand movements and felt her body begin to tremble as she got close. Then she froze and I felt her clench around me as her body bucked and began to convulse. That was enough for me and I gripped her body close to me as I emptied myself, our bodies joined as we climaxed together.

Then we lay, still entwined and our bodies limp as we recovered.

“Toni, sweetheart. I care. Please stay with me and show me what you need so that you never think I don’t care about you.”

She murmured softly and snuggled in close. “Thank you. And thank you for bringing me home yesterday when I know you didn’t want to.”

“Toni, I want to do whatever’s right for you. Please believe me.”

She lifted her head, looked at me. There was wonderment in her eyes. “I do. Thank you.”

I hugged her close, breathing in the scent of her, mixed in with the smell of our own arousal. It was a shame that it was morning, and we’d soon have to move.

It was time I told Father. Toni would be showering and dressing for the next half-hour at least. I put on my robe. I needed to get this done while I wouldn’t be overheard.

I went down to my study. I wanted my old chair for this. I knew what he’d say. He’d tell me that duty came before pleasure. I’d started this as a business venture and mixing business with my own desires was never successful. He’d tell me I mustn’t do this. He’d tell me I was letting down the family, and he’d tell me my mother would have been disappointed in me. He knew how to wound, did my father.

Still. I knew what I’d do. I could tell him we’d found a number of girls from good families here, and I’d find another one and send her to finishing school. Toni was mine. I smiled at the phone.

“Hello, Father, it’s me.”

“Well, hello, James, my boy. I’ve not heard from you for a while.” He settled into his stride without asking why I was ringing. “The roofing quotes you sent from America were a godsend, Son. The new quotes are a great improvement, and the inspector has said we can start as soon as we like. Oh, and your brother hasn’t been in touch for a fortnight. I wish I could get a chip implanted in him like the damn dogs. Then I’d know where he was.” He was barely stopping for breath. I had to put a stop to this.

“Father. Father. Wait. I’ll ring back later for the rest of the news, but I have something important to tell you.”

“Oh. Right-oh, Son. Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I am telling you now. It’s about Antonia.”





Toni





I had to tell James now. I was so sorry I’d worried him and made him unhappy. My body glowed with the memory of him loving me, and I felt ashamed of having thought he didn’t care. I turned off the shower instead of getting in and slipped on my robe. I’d come back later and do the getting ready thing. I smiled to myself. I’d take care to make myself look the best I could for him.
