Billionaire Husband (7 page)

“Yes. I was such an idiot. One moment we were eating our alfredo pasta, and the next moment, we were all over each other.” Darla sat back, fanning herself. “When it was over, he had to go and finish his photo-shoot, and I came and filmed you.”

“Shaun and I, we’re giving it a try, being a real married couple.”

“Really married?”

“You know, live together, share each other’s lives, and he wants to be part of my life.” As she tucked her hair behind her ear, her cheeks heated.

“Oh, I see, he wants to have sex.”

Biting her lip, she leaned forward staring at Darla.

“You have had sex with him, haven’t you?” Darla asked. “You’re both married?”

“Yes, we’ve had sex before this last week. It was awful though, really awful sex, and I hated it. I never experienced an orgasm, and we kept the lights off. It was sex for the sake of getting pregnant.”

Darla wrinkled her nose.

“It was bad, like really bad, and I hated it.”

“Wait, you said before this last week?”

Addison smiled thinking about the nights she’d shared with Shaun this last week. “He’s more than made up for it.”

Darla chuckled. “Good sex is always fun, right?”

“Right? Dean was good?”

“The best.”

Picking up her water, Addison laughed. “We’re bad.”

“The worst.”

Standing in the background, Shaun watched as Addie made her thank you video to her fans and watchers. Her book was officially released, and they had become a true married couple in the last two weeks. They were the best two weeks he’d ever had, and what he’d actually hoped for. Their relationship wasn’t perfect, and at night Addie struggled to deal with him in her bed. She found him a little invasive, and it was his fault for pushing her away.

Darla gave Addie the thumbs-up, and they moved on to a super special brownie recipe. Leaning against the wall, he was so charmed by her. He’d also had lunch with Paula to see what was going on with his wife. There was no way he was ever going to let her be at risk with the vultures that were out there. Paula was a fantastic agent, and she cared about Addie, and believed she had a real future as a cook. They had a long discussion, and he’d gotten the breakdown of her contract, along with the future deals. She was still allowed to run her video and blog. The recipes for the book were all new.

Addie wouldn’t let anyone call her a chef. She was a home cook, nothing else. Darla moved the camera so that it went right up close to the brownies.

Shaun watched as she spread the brownies out in the pan, and licked the spoon. He held in a groan as his cock twitched. Tonight he was going to feel her lips wrapped around his cock. He’d been fantasizing about her lips around his cock. One of his favorite things to do just lately was lick out her creamy pussy.

He had plans to have her screaming his name as he tongued her pussy, and at the same time, he hoped she licked his dick.

“Cut,” Darla said, giggling. “I’ll never get bored of that.”

“Cut?”

“I’ve got to wait for the brownies to bake. In about fifteen minutes I’ll do the next step. Until then, I get to clean, yay.”

Before he got a chance to say anything to her, someone entered her apartment.

“Damn, you’re baking brownies and you didn’t invite me?” Dean asked, shouting out.

Shaun watched as Darla stumbled, and caught herself on the counter.

“You okay?” he asked.

Darla was a sweetheart, and he liked her because she was so damn good to his woman. Addie looked from Dean then to Darla.

Shaun looked at Dean, and saw he was staring at Darla as if he wanted to eat her. Darla was looking everywhere but at him. That was interesting. Glancing over at his woman, he saw Addie was smiling.

“Shaun, I wanted to talk to you about something,” she said, grabbing his arm.

Following his woman toward their bedroom, he looked behind him to see Dean walk up to Darla. There was no confidence in his movements, and he looked nervous more than anything.

“What’s going on?” he asked.

“Nothing. I just want to give them ten minutes while we wait for the brownies to finish.”

“Something is going on with Dean and Darla?”

“Hell yeah.”

Addie closed the bedroom door and leaned against it. “Something is seriously going on with them.”

“Like what?”

“They have been together. You know,
together-together.
”

“I can see that. Did you see the way he was looking at her?” Shaun asked, closing the distance and cupping her waist.

“Yeah, I saw. He wanted to eat her, and that wasn’t all. He wanted a lot more.” Addie tilted her head back, and smiled up at him.

“I wonder what we can do to help?”

“Give them space, and give them a chance to explore each other. Darla’s nervous about having more with him.”

“I can see that. Who can trust a model? It’s just strange.”

She slapped his chest. “Don’t be mean. I could say the same about you. You’re a ruthless businessman, and I don’t trust you at all.” She raised her brow, and he just couldn’t resist. He slammed his lips down on hers, and devoured her.

Addie opened up, and moaned as he plundered her mouth with his tongue. She grew soft against him, wrapping her arms around his neck, holding him close.

Biting her lip, he pulled away and saw her eyes were dilated.

“You better trust me,” he said.

“Yes, I do,” she said, sighing. “What are you doing to me?”

“Making you my wife.”

“I wonder if it would be easier if we were strangers.”

“I don’t.” He stroked her cheek, tracing his fingers down, passing her nipple, to touch her waist. “The last two weeks, they’ve been truly amazing.”

“We can’t keep our parents away forever.”

He groaned. “I know. They’re closing in. Did you see the interview your mother gave?” he asked.

Bruce had told him to watch the interview, which was being aired on all news channels. Addie’s mom had said that she was happy her daughter was playing. Seriously, playing at cooking. He’d been so damn angry with her condescending attitude. Shaun knew her mother hadn’t been the most supportive in her life, but he had no idea it had been this bad for her.

“I saw it, and I’m not surprised. She left me a voicemail telling me I was ruining the family name, and that I should be commanding cooks, not trying to be one.”

He saw the hurt in her eyes even though she tried to cover it.

“You don’t need to hide from me.”

“I’m not hiding. It’s something I’m used to. I remember Mom always going crazy whenever she found out that my grandma took me into the kitchen. My grandparents came from wealth, but they also held the view that if something bad was to happen, they’d be able to cope without it. Does that make sense?”

“Perfectly.” If his father had continued to run the company another couple of years the name Woodside would have ceased to matter to anyone. He’d have had no choice but to work for someone else, and the very thought had him on the edge. “Don’t let them hurt you.”

“Are you happy for me?” she asked.

“Yes. When I first saw it, I was in shock.”

“I know.” She smiled. “Why were you in shock? I never really understood why.”

Stroking her waist, he couldn’t help but glance down and get a good look at her full, ripe tits. He was a lucky man.

Three years you were an ass.

Pushing the thought aside, Shaun was going to change the way their lives were going to pan out. This was about them now, not about what their families wanted.

“Our marriage was something I wanted from the first moment I saw you. In the room full of our families you were the only person who was warm. Your eyes, they had a depth of love and compassion. Our families are cold, Addie. They’re so cold, and I didn’t want the rest of my life to go on being cold.” He wanted heat, warmth, and scorching fire. When he was with Addie, that was exactly what he got fire, and heat, and warmth, and everything in between.

“I always thought that,” she said.

“You’re not the only one.”

Staring into her eyes, he’d have given everything to find out what she was thinking.

“Addie, the brownies are ready to come out of the oven.”

Releasing a sigh, Shaun dropped a kiss to her lips. “We were saved by the brownies.”

“You’re staying?”

“Yes. I’m not letting Dean get a hold of anymore of my food without eating it first.”

She chuckled, and the sound lightened his heart. “I better go.”

He gave her enough room to open the door, and he watched her walk ahead of him. Shaun followed her, and stood beside Dean as they watched the filming start up again.

“Hey, man, you okay?” Dean asked.

“Me? I’m fine.” He didn’t take his gaze away from Addie.

“Can I ask for some advice?”

“About Darla?”

“Who else?” Dean ran fingers through his hair looking completely out of it.

“Go ahead. I don’t know if I’ll be able to help.” He wasn’t the one to talk to about advice on capturing a woman. Shaun had only just caught his own woman.

“How did you know Addie was the one?”

“I looked at her, and I knew.”

“There was no doubt?”

“None. The doubt came after I was married, and we seemed to be strangers to each other. We lost something in all the crap of our families and being married.”

“Darla’s a beautiful woman on the inside as much as she is on the outside. When I’m with her, she makes everything fall away, and I’m just caught in her web.”

“She’s not a spider.”

“I know. There’s no one else I want.”

“It sounds to me like you’re in love.”

“She won’t give me a chance. She doesn’t seem to think it would ever work.”

“Then show her another man. Show her the man she doesn’t think you can be. It’s always good to prove a woman wrong without actually saying anything. Show her.” It was what he intended to do with Addie all the way.

Chapter Seven

For the first time ever Shaun, her husband, ate her food while being filmed for her blog, and it was the most daunting experience of her life. It was even more daunting than being in a room with Paula as she went through the cookbook page by page. Seeing Shaun, watching him and the way he ate her food, had put her on edge.

He wasn’t one to be outdone as Dean was there, eating her food. Once they cleared away the mess of the baking, along with the equipment for filming, Addison had packaged up the leftover brownies for Darla so she had something to eat while she edited the film.

She hugged Darla goodbye and sent a pouting Dean on his way. If her two friends were bright, they’d disappear together, and have fun with the brownies.

Closing the door, she gasped as Shaun wrapped his arms around her. “We’re finally alone.”

“We are.” She snuggled against him, and her body grew hotter for him. “I loved having you here tonight. It felt so much more real.”

“Your brownies were amazing, honestly.” He kissed her neck, and moaned as he nibbled on her flesh.

Closing her eyes, she tilted her head to the side as one of his hands cupped her tits.

“You’ve got the most amazing tits, baby,” he said. “When I’m at work all I can think about is getting you naked. Then I think about having you over my desk, begging for my cock.”

“Three years I’ve hated sex.” She admitted it to him.

“Me too.”

“How can you hate it?”

“I was aroused by being with you, Addie. It doesn’t mean I liked it. I enjoyed being with you back then, but now, I fucking love being inside you, feeling your slick wet pussy wrapped around my dick.”

She was never going to get used to the way he spoke, so dark, and alluring, and he made her ache with need. His dirty words struck her deep, making her wet.

Shaun went from cupping her breast to teasing with her nipple, pinching the bud and then stroking it. All she wanted to do was get naked, and start touching him.

Her need was so strong that it was almost impossible for her to think straight.

“This is what I want. Not only do you get me rock hard, you make me so damn impatient to be inside you.” He moved away from her breast, and suddenly he tore her shirt in two.

“I’m going to need more clothes if you keep touching me like this.”

“I’ll buy them for you.”

Next the bra was removed from her body, roughly. The hard points on the metal dug into her skin as tugged it from her body. He spun her around so that her back was to the door. Shaun grabbed her hand and pressed it against his cock.

He wasn’t wrong. He was rock hard.

Running her hand up and down his length, she was surprised by how big he actually was.

“Fuck, baby, you’ve got no idea what you do to me. I want you so damn badly.”

Opening his belt, she pressed her hand inside his pants and gripped him. At the same time, Shaun sank his fingers into her hair, tugging her head back and claiming her lips. She moaned and gasped as he took possession of her mouth with a passion that awakened her.

With his grip in her hair, he urged her away from the door, and started leading her back.

“Not going to last,” he said.

Pulling away from the kiss, she saw they were in fact in the sitting room. She released his cock and started working on releasing the rest of her clothing. Staring into her husband’s eyes, she got completely naked. Her body wasn’t perfect, not at all.

She’d never be like the models she’d seen him on dates with. Her body was rounded, with cellulite in odd places, and she liked to cook and eat what she cooked. It was a flaw of hers, a small flaw but a flaw nonetheless.

The moment they were both naked, Shaun reached for her, grabbing her tight and holding her close. Closing her eyes, she basked in his touch, and when he grabbed her ass before sliding his fingers between her thighs, she melted even more.

There was not a part of Shaun that she didn’t like. He made her burn.

Cupping his cheek, she pressed her lips against his, licking along his bottom lip before sliding her tongue into his mouth.

“You’re feeling adventurous today?” he asked.

“And a little excited. Can you tell?”
