The Billionaire(3)

Now this beauty did not fall into that category and it scares the shit  out of me because it's unchartered water. Her age dictates that I as the  adult handle everything with care. If I was going to do this, and I am,  it has to be about her first all the way. I have no intentions on  fucking up her life. Her report reads like an innocent's, I can't  imagine her being worldly and sophisticated enough to take on a man like  me. So you see my dilemma, for the first time in my life the great  Gideon Thorpe cannot approach a woman with just fucking on his mind. I  left the apartment and headed down to the garage where my car and driver  awaited. It was only a few short minutes to the school but today I  wouldn't walk it, today the business tycoon was going to impress his  high school sweetheart. Fuck me.





I gave her five minutes to sit and get settled under her tree as I watched from the back of the limo.

She's just so fucking gorgeous, damn! The nervousness was finally gone  thank heaven, and all that was left was an excitement I haven felt in  way too long. That's more like it.

I left the confines of the car at a slow clip, hands in my pockets,  relaxed. There were kids milling about but no one seemed to be paying  too much attention, which made me wonder why my beautiful girl was  sitting all alone in the first place? Something to think about later  right now I had more important things on my mind.                       
       
           



       

I settled myself as I drew closer to her, willing my body to calm the  fuck down. One look and my heart started beating the shit out of my  chest. I schooled my face and tried for that relaxed thing again but  inside I was a riot of emotions.

"Hello Ashley." I snuck up behind her and a little to the side so as not to scare her to death.

She gave a start anyway before turning to me. I felt that look in my  gut, felt the electricity coarse through me and knew in that moment that  my life will never be the same. How very fucking clichéd.

Her first words to me were a bit puzzling, not what I expected at all and they threw me for a second.

"It's you." So breathlessly spoken.

"Excuse me?" I kept staring at her beauty, she really was an exceptionally beautiful girl.

"Nothing." She blushed and hung her head letting her hair fall forward to hide her cheeks.

"No, tell me, what did you mean?" I stepped in a little closer forgetting to be cautious and not scare her away.

"Nothing, just that...I saw you … before..." Could she be anymore fucking  perfect? Her voice sounded like something out of a fucking fairytale. If  I weren't standing in front of her I would swear she was someone's idea  of a joke on me. It's like someone reached inside he darkest recesses  of my mind and came up with my ideal of perfection. She had the face of a  Botticelli angel. Beautiful flawless skin, and bright eyes that were  wide and so fucking innocent they weren't to be believed. I didn't dare  look at the rest of her right now who knows what the fuck stupid thing I  would do? Like snatch her and run; there was a thought.

"You saw me? When?"

"You were getting out of your car I guess in front of the Thorpe Towers, it was a while ago."

She seemed embarrassed by her admission as she avoided my eyes; just  look at me Blossom. I wanted to take her face in my hands and force her  to keep those amazing eyes on mine. Too fast Gideon nice and easy she's  skittish yet.

"And you saw me." It had to be the same day I'd seen her for the first time, what were the odds?

"I'm Gideon Thorpe." I held out my hand to take hers, soft and warm. I  brushed my thumb slightly over the pulse in her wrist it matched mine.  Like a runaway train, I have to get ahold of myself before I do  something really stupid here. Everything inside me screamed to take her  and get the fuck out of there but I couldn't. If this was going to be  what I wanted it to be I had to be patient, I never hated that fucking  word as much as I did at that moment.

She was a bit weary, which was to be expected after all I'm a total and  complete stranger approaching her out of nowhere. "Ashley Sanders." She  finally looked at me full on and my heart fucking kicked in my chest.  Merciful fuck.

Her voice, that face, those fucking eyes and her mouth sweet fuck, she  's a fucking knock out, everything about her called to me. There was no  way I wouldn't own her in this lifetime. If I'd had any doubts before  this moment vanquished them all. There was no point in prolonging the  inevitable so I decided then and there to do as I've always done. I'd  been telling myself to go slow because of her age, to feel her out. I  thought I could afford that patience but I see now that I was wrong. Up  close she was perfection, like nothing I'd ever seen before. And that  air of innocence only made things worse for her. Something about this  girl spoke to the primal part of me. That thing that makes us human,  makes us civilized had taken a backseat. All I wanted was to plunder.  It's a strange fucking feeling for a guy who's usually the hunted.

"Do you know why I'm here Ashley?"

She shook her head no as where before I was silently begging her to look  at me I wanted to beg her to look away, I was about to embarrass  myself. Either that or kiss the fuck out of her which I'm sure would  probably scare her half to death. "Let's just say I saw you one day and  something about you captured my attention. I don't believe in beating  around the bush. I had your background investigated, I know how old you  are, I know your father is a cop in the little town where you two live. I  know you don't have many extra curricular activities outside of school,  though I don't know why seeing as you're a teenager. But most  importantly, I know that I want you."

Her eyes widened as she looked around.

"You have nothing to fear from me, well not physically anyway. Very soon  we'll sit down together and I'll lay out what's going to happen between  us for you, just know for now, all I want is for us to get to know each  other."

"Uhm, I don't know." She was understandably nervous, but even that  seemed sweet and unassuming; again a quality I wasn't used to in the  women I've dated in the past.                       
       
           



       

"That's okay, I just sprung it on you, but like I said, I don't believe  in beating around the bush, but if you let me Ashley, I will make you a  very happy woman."

"My dad...."

" Will be taken care of."

"What do you mean?" She seemed alarmed by my words.

"Nothing sinister I promise, just that I plan on approaching him soon."

"He'll never allow it." Did she seem a little saddened by that? Her voice had gone even softer if that were possible.

"He will". I'll make sure of it.

"How can you be sure?"

"Because I'll make it so. How about you Ashley, would you like to get to know me better?"

"I don't know." She bit her fucking lip and it took all my human  strength not to take her right then and there in broad daylight. What  the fuck was this kid doing to me? Who the fuck was she?

"Don't do that sweetheart." I reached out with my thumb and pulled her lip from between her teeth.

"Sorry." So shy, such a fucking turn on, I couldn't wait to have her, to  make her mine in every way possible. It was going to be a delight to  teach her to be just what I wanted her to be in bed and out.

"No, don't be sorry, just try not to do that unless we're alone together behind closed doors."

She looked up at that to find that I was very serious though I wasn't sure she quite got my meaning.

"Have you ever been in a relationship with a boy before Ashley?" I  didn't even like asking that fucking question which made no sense  whatsoever. That's it, I'd lost my fucking mind in the last month or so,  it was the stress of high living and back to back business dealings.

"No I haven't." I actually breathed easier hearing that.

"Why not?"

She shrugged her shoulders and looked away.

"You're gorgeous Ashley, don't tell me no one has ever asked you out before."

"My dad doesn't think it's a good idea."

"I see." I'll have to get to the bottom of that later, for now I didn't  see it as a problem, there wasn't anything I wouldn't overcome to have  her.

"That's why I don't think you should tell him anything." Her voice was  suddenly very earnest almost pleading. Huh is she implying what I think  she is?

"You mean we should sneak around behind his back?"

She blushed again. "It might be better that way."

So she was interested, that's all I needed to know. Not that I wouldn't  have talked her around otherwise, but this made things easier.

"No Ashley, there will be no sneaking around for us, everything we do  will be open and honest. Have no fear little one, I'm sure your father  will see things my way." Of course he will, I didn't plan on giving him a  choice. I didn't get to where I am by taking no for an answer.  Especially not when it came to something that I really wanted. I let  nothing stand in my way. And Ashley is the one thing I've wanted this  strongly in a long, long time.
