Taken by the Greek Billionaire(34)

“Well yes,” she said. “But the software is really hard to get hold of. Luckily Lyra knew a guy and we were able to find the money, but it was very difficult, and it has to be updated literally the day before and even then it is chancy. The security firms update constantly so it’s a bit like playing cat and mouse.”

“So if they have the software…?”

Penny shook her head. “Again no. There’s more to just plugging it in and letting it find the code. There are walls in place that you have to get round first and it has to be someone with the training to be able to do that.”

“Which you have.”

“Exactly.”

“Tell me how,” he said and she sighed because she’d known he was going to ask that at some point. How much should she tell him? Nothing, she thought, but knew in reality that she’d have to. Not least because if she didn’t Sebastian would not only accuse her of breaking their bargain but because he’d simply get it out of her in another way. In his arms, in his bed she was like fucking putty!

“I didn’t have the best upbringing,” she began, running a finger along the third sister. “I was on the wrong side of the law long before I realized that maybe I shouldn’t be. It started small. I stole stuff because I needed it. Food, clothes, stuff like that.”

“Stealing small things to this?” He waved at the nude portrait covering the safe. “How did you possibly come to that?”

She shrugged. “I hooked up with this guy. He was a few years older than me and he’d been a thief for years. He stole to order and he taught me a bunch of stuff like how to cut the tags off clothes from shops, how not to trip alarms and from there it kind of escalated. I started reading up, down the library and I got computer access there. All London libraries have public use computers these days and I could do some research. Fake name of course, but anyway that was that.”

“Research would not teach you how to hack minicomputers.”

Another shrug. “Well there was another guy I met who helped with that.”

He growled and Penny paused, shooting him a look. “Did you just growl?”

“How many men have you fucked?” he demanded.

“Huh?”

“How many?”

“That’s none of your business.”

He lifted her away from the safe, his hands spanning her waist and deposited her on the nearby table. “Everything about you is my business.”

His words, bitten out, sent a shiver racing along her spine. He was just so possessive. It shouldn’t thrill her but it did. Of course it wasn’t real possessiveness she reminded herself, as in a man who cares about a woman, it was just sexual and she got that. The passion between the two of them was ridiculous. Flammable. The smallest thing could set it off.

“Less than a handful and no one in a long while,” she answered honestly.

“And no one again.”

“What?” she said, sure she had misheard him. “You mean no one for the moment.”

“Yes, you’re mine right now, Kleftisa,” he said. “Now bend over.”

She did, complying immediately.

“Perhaps I will keep you as my sex slave forever,” he said, lifting the tee shirt. “Lock you in my bedroom and keep you there.”

“You’d get bored.” The words were unsteady because even though he was playing—obviously—with her Penny couldn’t help her heart racing a little. Sebastian’s forever sex slave. She sighed. If everything else could just bleed away she’d jump right at the chance. But life did not work like that and passion such as theirs burned out as easily as it came into being. A week, two and that would be that.

“You are the least boring person I have ever met,” he said, burying his hard on in her. “You intrigue me continually.”

“Because you’re surrounded by yes men.” she gasped. “I challenge you.”

“That you do…now how would you like to be challenged?”

“Oh, God yes.”

He plunged in, plunged out and Penny splayed her hands on the table to steady herself. Her tits were aching, desire already holding her in its grip.

It all bleeds away.

His cock was just so…right. It felt like it had been made to fit her. His big hands gripped her hips, his balls slapping against her clit. Penny loved it. Maybe she loved it too much? Just a few days and already she craved it constantly. How, she wondered in a moment of clarity, was it actually going to feel when it was no more?

He plunged back in, a hard edge to his motion and it shook the thought from her, thankfully.

“A challenge?” he repeated.
